MR. HoFFMANS PLATFORM DURING THE

WAX.
Mayor Hoffman has said repeatedly, since his
nomination for Governor, that no public or private
act of his could be held up TO lie made this
assertion in his late speech at Sing Sing and I'M
wisely for 1t must have recalled his address at that
place few days before the last Presidential election
Leading citizens, whose honor and memory are
equally above question, quote Mr. Hoffman as having
said that Democrats only had gone to the war, :"
and that volunteering stopped when Lincoln
declared for an Abolition policy" He believed that
tho "Southern people were entitled to sympathy"
and charged that "the war was carried Oh for the
subugation of 100000 of people"
This is bad enough. But Mr. Hoffman went
further. He affirmed that Lincoln was as great a
traitor to the Constitution as Jefferson Dayis"-s
charge loudly appaudcd by the COpperheads to whose
passions it appealed. Then came the following decla-
ration, which we are assured is literally reported
word for word, as Mayor Hoffman uttered it; "lf
Tennessee is not allowed to vote in tho Electoral
College, and Lincoln should BIO elected, rOnh 0dci"
repolution and resistance 10 tie Government, aud you
may knop rhieh side to find on" These are grave
charges to bring against man who would become
the Governor Of this State, but they are not lightly
made.

Three thousands millions of debt, half million OF

monuments of the earnest purpose of nation to save
its life. "policy" that will waste this Sacrifce-a
political "pocy" that will voluntarily surrender the
fruits of such costly and give to the Rebels the
advantages and power they failed to conquerby arms

The Congressional elections present an issue between
the People and Andrew johnson, not between Con-
gress and the President. And the issue which the
People have with their tratOrOus usupng servant in
the White House is the simplest ever presented in
national canvass. 1t is: shall the country be
governed by those who fought to destroy it, or by
those who fought to save it, Shall it be governed by
its friends or its enemies 7" That all there is Of it.
Andrew Johnsons purpose is to put the law-making
and executive powers of the Government into the
hands of uncbastened unrepentant, malignant Rebels
The People, through their loyal Congress, oppose this
crime; and this issue, presented singly they can
elect their candidates in every Congressional District
from the Atlantic TO the Pacific, beyond the shadow
Of doubt; yes, and carry every Office, from Gov
ernor to Patbmaster, in every Northern and Western
State

II is expected in England that both Mr.. Glass and
Mr.. Canning will be knighed for the part they have
taken in carrying out the Atlantic Telegraph Gable
enterprise; and it is suggested by the English press
that Capt. Anderson Of the Great Eastern ought also
to receive honorary mark Of distinction for the
services rendered by him in the good work. This is
it should BET for certainly the men who have been
instrumental in completing Of the greatest under
akiDgs of the age worthy of all honor, and de-
serve more substantial rewards than any mere title
implies But what Of Mr.. Cyrus w. Field TO whom
the enterprise Is largely indebted for its

Great Britain is about TO confer distinction upon the

the case of Mr.. Fieldl Surely, there ought to be

The World says thatwe affect to consider Federal
oce-hoders the most eontemptiblecreatures in exist

most of those whom Mr.. Lincoln appointed, and re-
joice to see them justify good opinion. Federal
ofice-hoder who obtains retains his place by apos
tasy hypocrisy and basepess, is contemptible-who
doubts it i-but majority of those left in Office by
Mr.. Lincoln have honored manhood by their fidelity
to their principles and their convictions. The Bread

KANSAS.

We ore glad that the Radicals of Kansas have
wisely renominated such honest public servants as
Gov. Crawford. and their present representative in
Congress, the Hon. Sidney Clark. AS Gov Crawford
had majority Of 1888, out of 1888 votes, upon the
popular ballot for 1864 his chances for rejection are
the best. Mr. Clarke was chosen in 1864 over Albert
L. Lee the "anti-Lane" candidate, by 1904 votes,
and we assume that no will be reelected over his
Conservative opponent Gen. L. W. Blair. The
