The DEmpeRATIe SUICIDE.

The Convention of the Confederate
Democracy at Columbus, resolved to sup
port Mr. Johnson S policy of TecOustruc-
ton. Let US look at the doctrinal pos
ition In which this leaves that party.
Mr. johnson overthrow the inGargent
State Governments and ordered the re-
construction of new, subject to the con-
ditions he imposed. It commits the
Democracy to the doctrine that rebellion
vacates the State Government, and that
they can only be reconstructed by per-
mission of the United States, and subject
to their conditions.
One of these conditions prescribed
regulations of the franchise. Another
prescribed guarantees to be fixed IN the
Constitutions. Another prescribed the
legislative ratification Of the amendment
to the Constitution of the United States
The Ohio Confederate Democracy indorse
all this. The power to do this being
granted, the imposing of other conditions
to the status of States is a question Of
policy and not of principle. That which
has been done is greater than anything
that remains to be done.
None of these conditions can be impos-
ed on States which have not broken their
relations with the Union. The indorse-
ment of this right of overturning and re-
constructing State governments, accepts
their territorial condition, and their sub
lection To the National Government.
Thus the difference between the Cppfed-
crate Democracy and the Sumner and
Stevens Radicals is one merely of name
and degree and not of principle. And
as to degree, they will hardly venture to
say that the candidates should not be ad-
equate for future security. Thus the
Confederate Democracy have subscribed
to the principles of the Radicals, and
have retained to themselves only the odor
of their treacherOqs practices.-G Cipcin-

TIE EEHLAN DEMO8sERATIOM.

The Fenian war has been brought to Il
close, and Of course proved an utter fail
ure. 1t was a wild visionary scheme at
best, and with the knowledge Of the diff
6culties they would necessarily encounter
it is surprising there could be found
men so foolish as to set project of the
kind on foot, OF dupes to contribute their
money OF risk their lives in its attempted
prosecution. Such neutrality on the part
of our Government as was maintained by
England during the rebellion, if not Sc
curing success to the Fenians would at
least have enabled them to make de-
mOnstration to thwart which would have
required all the force and energy the
Canadian authorities could have couman-
ded; but sucb neutrality our government
could not be expected to exhibit under
existing laws, Notwithstanding the exam
pie set her by Great Britain The move
ment has, however, shown the strength
and disposition of the Fenians, and will
serve as an admonition to England as to
what she might expect if a war with
America should occur. In that event all
that would be necessary to wrsst Canada
from her grasp would to give the Irish
permission to take it-a task they would
accomplish in a fortnight.
No further battles occurred after that
noticed last week, and as there has been
a general dispersion Of the men who had
gone forward to engage in the invasion,
there will probably be no further trouble.
The stringent measures adopted by the
Us. Government efFeotually quelohed
their operations. and retreat and disband-
ment was the only alternative left them.
The Fenian leaders have denounced the
President for his interference, but they
and their deluded followers should on
that account regard him as their special
friend, as it prevented them from rushing
to certain destruction. The Brotherhood
must bide their time, which will not be
likely to come very soon unless our ooun-
try should happen to become involved in
a war with England.

ing his fellow members, should see fit to

see fit to vote for it, would be amenable

Mr. HUBBELL, OF OHIo.-The cores
pondent of the Cincinnati Gazette makes a
very unkind cut at Mr.. Hubbell, of Ohio,
for voting against the censure of Mr..
Chanler, of New York, on a recent Occa-
sion when Chanler offered a foolish reso-
luton about the Freedmen S Bureau, and
Gen. Shenck, not to be outdone In folly,
offered a resolution Of censure against
Chanler. The truth Is, Hubbells vote
against Shenck' resolution was about the
most sensible act of his during the ses-
sion. About forty Republicans lodged,
in a very cOwardly manner, knowing that
they ought to vote against the resolution,
but afraid to do so. Resolutions of cen
sure ought to be scarcer than they are in
Congress. When Aleck Long made a
fool of himself the House censured him,
and the country did not applaud such an
interference with Alexis natural rights;
so with Chanler, of New York, recently
Mr. Hubbell stands well with the Ohio
delegation, and [ think his course in
Congress win be approved by his constit-
uents.
