THE GREAT uNDECIDED.

Itwould not be anliss to call the
Democracy the Great Undecided, even
ns Mcclellan is surnamed the Great
Unredly. Repeatedly it has been
shown that they are drugs in every
department of life and business. And
as the cliurl and grumbler of every
day life is despiscd by the earnest 60
ahead-a-tive man,so let Democracy So
called, be avoided by those who would
build onward and upward. The soon
or this feeling exists the sooner
will national troubles subside and
the highest pinnacle of prosperity be
obtained. To follow the train of
shonght suggested above it is only nee
essary to read the article on our first
page of to-day entitled, '"What be-
comes of Democratic Principles ~
Still further illustration may be
educed from the recent action of their
State Convention. In twelve resolutions
they perpetrate twelve huge falsehoods
bearing the ear marks of Democracy
from the inception. These twelve
may be split down into as many small
er ones as log of wood would make
shoc-pegs.
In the case of Andrew johnson Us.
the People of the United States, they
naturally attempt to vindicatc the
cause of the Usurpcg. Their ideas of
civil government tend in that direc-
tion antocracv rather than democra-
cy for them. But, owing to the fact
that they are not yet ready to make
him a candidate for Presidential honors
he is denied the sweet consolation
of hearing anything concerning the
subject.
They favor the early resumption of
specie payment in words, but when
the test comes in legislation are not
yet prepared to take stcpsin that di-
rection, as witness the votes of their
Congressional delegation on all ques-
tions OF finance.
Reputation in it crude state is ig-
norcd because the bondholding, anti
Pendleton wing Of the party cant
see it in those lamps just yet. Hence
a decline in Pendeton Presidential
stock. But, they cannot forego their
propensity to steal and under cover of
taxing the bonds expect to depreciate
the credit Of the Government and
eventually hoist the debt overheard,
and let it go to the crafty sharks who
are ever ready to coin dollars out Of
Others calamities.
They "rccosnizc with emotions OF
deepest gratitude the efforts of the gal
laut volunteer soldicry, etc." by nom
mating Chas, L, Boyle, a stay-at-
home Democrat, for Auditor General,
over Col. w. II. II. Davis a wounded
soldier; and wonld have done the
same by disposing of Gen. Ent, only
giving him t,cclre votes for Treasurer
on first ballot, had not cxpcdiency
ovcrrulcd spleen. Doubtless they
mean to recognize soldiers but the
time is not yet and will only be when
forced upon them.
A love for the foreigner is proiessed
but how deep and how lastingis shown
i'm the recent exposure of frauds in the
2ist District, and their murder of
Casey an Irishman who having per-
formed their will was compelled by
the law to lay bare their villiany. II
ishmcn should stick pin there.
Evidently in quandary, Democ-
racy hesitatingly advances step by
step, accepting the ground long since
abandoned by Republicans. ga stern
chase is a long one." and we ven
ture no prediction as to the probable
length of time it will take for them to
get up with us.
