paper organ AT The capital of The Admins
iraliOn. prints The article of the Chicago
Times which has made so much sensation.
and goes on to say:
From this article we Learn in substance.
that the COppcrhead, or Democratic party
iaiirr violating all their pledges made at The
Philadei,;hia National Union Convention
Ito abandon thC;r party organization and
lioin purely Consel valve National Union
party, and in consequence Of such viola
ltion having been repudiated in every Stale
of the Union holding elections since. eX-
lcept two, have determined upon two thinss,
namely TO declare
|. That their defeat was attributable
more largely" 10 the Administration of
President Johnson than 10 ''all other causes
combined." and therefore, that they repu-
diate and denounce it.
=. That negro suffrage is inevitable. aul
must be met AS life-saving measure 10 the
Democratic party; therefore, the Demo.
cracy offhe Northwest are i'm favor of
Qualified suffrage 10 the negro, and will re-
commend il 10 the Southern States as life
saving measure for them.
We are glad the Times editor has shown
his hand and turned 10 abusing the Presi-
dent and Secretary Seward. He has re
moved The mask which he and his friends
put on at Philadelphia and wore when they
came here to congratulate the President
and ask for offices. The President would
not recognize the same c0untenance now.
They have changed. There is singlehcss
of purpose now in tLeir programme
Heretofore they were double faced. We
have but a word TO say 10 such creatures
as are represented by the Times:
]. we have The consciousness of know
ing that they never stung us. because we al
ways dreaded reptiles and never took them
Ito our bosom. When they matte their
Shiny appearance of Philadelphia wesiruck
nj them and drove uiein ont offhe Conven-
lion, as ST. Patrick drove snakes ont oflrc-
land.
=. We knew they were dishonest towards
the President when they put Clymer NJ in
Pennsylvania and Hoffman in New York,
striking Dix down in the latter State
They deserved what they got in both States
defeat
,. They acknowledge now. what we al
ways contended they desired, namely, the
success of the old Democratic parry, re-
gardless of principles, policy or men.
4. We arc satisfied now, as we always
have been. that the Democratic parry went
TO Philadelphia for no other purpose Than
TO obtain place and power, and not on ac-
count OF any love they bore TO President
Johnson or the policy of the Administration.
>. That the Times proposition abont
qualified suffrage is dishonest, else itwould
have adopted that principle when Presi-
dent Johnson urged it upon Congress in
April and July last
q. That, if The Copperheads or the Chi
lcago Times stripe had not thrust themselves
upon The Philadelphia Convention. and
intruded themselves into every town, city,
tcountv, District and State Convention after
wards, TO poison ihe politics of each State
against the Admin ,slration and in favor of
IeXtreme radicalism, the restoration policy
of Andrew johnson would ere this have
been vindicated and recognizedat the polls
by the honest American people. The mis-
representations of such infamous journals
have retarded restoration and produced
the present misunderstanding between the
President and Congress.
The Chicago Times and lis political as
sociatcs will confer "a great favor upon the
President and his real friends ifthey will
form a society of their own. and no longer
impose themselves upon party where they
are not wanted.
