dictate the Presidential ticket and platform,
remains to be seen. But II Is very clear
that this policy has q stronghold on the
politicians Of that party.
The 10th resolution roads ne foilowsi
Rssoiced, That all the property Of the
country, including tho government bonds,
which receives the equal protection Of the
government, should bear an equal share in
its burthens.
1t would surprise many Democrats to DO
told that "governent bonds do bear an
equal share" with, and In many cases
moro than other descriptions of property.
Yet such is tho fact We doubt il there be
piece Of real estate IN Toledo that pays
as heavy a tax as do the 20 Bonds used
as capital in the National Banks of this
City. Nor is there any considerable por-
ton Of the money in the City that pays as
much tax according to its prcductivenoss
as such Bonds. But however this may be,
il is sufficient to know that tho manner Of
taxing them cannot legally he changed
without the consefit Of the holders. This
is principle of law 80 plain that il seems
strange that any intelligent man should
think of undertaking to impose the con-
trary doctrine upon the country. The gov
ernment has tho same right to repudiate
the whole debt AZ any one OF itS conditions.
The Democracy give President Johnson
patronizing "pat on tho back" to en-
courage him to continue his opposition to
the policy of Congress. They will sustain
him in any way that will contribute to the
advantage OF their party; bu. beyond that,
he must look elsewhere for " support" So
tho monkey was ready to sustain the sim.
pie cat in pulling his nuts from the fire.
The Democracy Of Ohio resolve " that
the fortitudo and gallantry IF our soldiers
in the recent civil war in defense OF the
Union, cntite them to the gratitude of the
country" &c. so it was "a war for the
defense Of the Union" after oil, notwith-
standing the uniform declaration OF the
leaders during it's progress that it was an
"unholy war;" an Abolition war" &c,
&c, &c. And the soldiers who volunteered
in IL against the protests of The Pendletons,
aud Valandighams and the other managers
in the recent Columbus Convention, actually
did good thing! The Lincoln hiTelings
and cnt-throats," the Hessian murderers,
&c &C., Sc, of 1861, g, 3, a, aud g, have
by some strange process. become "our
soldiers! |" The inch who in 1864 resolved
that all the fortitude and galantry display
cd at Gettysburg, Nicksburg, Fort Donel'
son and on scores OF other victorious fields
were only part of the unqualified failure
of the then wicked and unnecessary war,
have now come to view tho matter from
another standpoint, and hence their
changed theory. The votes of the soldiers
are now needed to give the party success,
and hence the new estimate Of their servi.
ces,
The series wind up with solemn ro
solve that the Democracy have neither the
purpose nor the desire to re-estahlish slav
cry, nor to assume the debts of the States
lately in rebellion. The nation ought &c
breath more freely, in view of this formal
proclamation of the abandonment of The
corpse of slavery by the Democracy. Il
may now safely assume that the institution
is not even to be galvanized for the ap
preaching campaign. 1t must be deaC
sure enough. Now let Wendell PHILIPPE
dissolve his Anti.Slavory Society. Its oc
cupation is gone. Aud the Democracy hat
"neither tho purpose nor the desire t
pay the rebel debt. 1t is to be hoped the
intentions in that regard will not change al
suddenly as it has in others.
But what shall be said of the language
of the last resolution when it speaks of thu
States lately in rebeHion!" These ar,
new words in that connection. When die
they rebell" 1t must have been sine,
the year 1864, when they were only par
ties to a" civil war;" Estates in rebel
lion!" Think of that! Pray, Mr.. Pendle
ton, is it " constitutional to "coerce y
"State in rebellionH" If so, why did yo1
deny it throughout that rebellion ?"
Taken in oil it's parts and connections
we think the platform on which the Obi
Democracy appear before the country
, quito remarkable and well worthy til
study of the curious.
