our men had thrown down their arms and ceased
to offer resistance - Of 1S2 members of the
convention from the rebel States, there was not
one Union man Of well-known and approved
loyalty. There were more rebel soldiers than
soldiers OF the Union army-mOre members OF
JEFF Davis Congress than of the Congress of the
United States. Is there any wonder, then, that
one who had heard the rebel battle veH i'll the
land of rebellion, should have instinctiyely ex-
claimed, g the rebel yell, " as he heard the shout
that arose at the words Of Wade Hampton's reso-
luton, declaring the Reconstruction Acts ''revo-
lutiOnary, unconstitutional and void?''
The financial portion Of the Democratic plat
form was dictated by Pendleton. That great
financial genius seems to be hugely pleased with
his work. 1t Is, however, cheat a delusion
and snare. The government owes bonded
debt bearing interest, and a non-paying interest
debt. If this platform means that the govern
ment shall redeem the bonds with the greenback
debt now issued, then it is a simple swindle. for
the government has none of its gmenback debt
to use for that purpose. If it is meant that the
government, in violation Of its pledge shall issue
more Of its non-interest paying debt 10 redeem
the interest bearing debt, then it means further
deprecated currency, the arrangement Of legi-
innate business, the robbery Of honest labor, ru-
inous losses, bankruptcy and ultimate repudia-
ton.
