TROUBLE IN THE DEMOCRATIC CAMP.

TROUBLE IN THE DEMOCRAIlC CAhr'
THE PRESIDENTS ORGAN READS THE WORLD
OUT OF THE PARTY.
The National IntelLigencer, organ OF the Pres-
ident has long article in yesterdays issue trying 10
prove that The World is Radical Republican newspaper
We make these extracts:
We have been favored lately with very large amoun
ofmatter from The Nec York World on the sqblect o,
what the Conservative Convention at New h t
These dissertations are promised In very oraeula
contributions TO human thought 90 far as they are DEM
ocratc IDEAS they but the reafrnatons OF What s
been often and better expressed before even Dy me
World itself; and so far they Republican or
Radical, which, regret to say, they are in large
measure they but the feeble utteances Of aneophye
and halfashamed convert and lack the breadth, VlgO
earnestness, and ability Of fullbown saint In that
church We are not certain that we should deem 1nee
articles worthy Of reference If it not that me W0rd
is not untrequenty quoted as an exponent OF Conser
Conservative sentiments and that affects to speak Dy
authority Is quite true but that IL Is an orthodox expOn
ent OF Conservative doctrine we emphatlcally deny
Time aud time again 1t has advanced propositions ofens
the convictions of the Conservative masses, and
nade admsslohs eagerly selIea upon ny he eiey i suv
as would have been conceded by no teadtast ana loyal
Conservative organ. Even when IL mas urged, not
without certain sort OF ablity CohsetVauHe nv Views'
1t has done IN manner which seemed TO lack earnest
ness, and indicated that without much difficulty they
could have argued quite well the side as the
other Hence its utter failure to guide and mold public

Of those whom they trust, and they do much larger
part OF their own thinking than is commonly supposed
And thus is that papers like The World which jump
about here and there and think they accomplishing
wonders, really 10 more than the ny which under
took start the carriage and horses which had halted
for rest.
The World like a free lancer, fights sometimes one
side and then the other. No prudent general ever
puts such force down his musterrO without making
provision for possible desertons Indeed fairly consld
ercd The World not much Democratic journal as Is
hei0 York Herald which makes pretense OF that sort
II Radical ideas doctrines and acts are TO DC carried on
I'm the Government then 1t is simply far that the work
should be committed TO Republican hands The position
The WOrd IL that the issue OF suffrage in the
SOuh TO be determined not by the Constitution or the
wishes Of the white population but by the negrOized
governments themselves, controlled by negroes, and
sackled by tesoaths binding the voter 10 " ac-
cept negro suffrage Recommendation for the adoption
OF impartial suffrage another proposition OF The FOrtd
to the National Convention which would come with eN
cellent grace from Mr.. Sumner or Mr.. Ihad Stevens
There are many other Republicans who. like The World
have held to different sides Of the question at different
times
