Tins protests the thief when he feels the
officers firm gripe on his shoulder. 1t isn't
possible that so respectable person can have
been suspected of pOcket-picking. 1t is clearly
Il case of mistaken identification.
The Democratic party failed to elect Pres
ident of the United States in 1860 1t failed,
because the leaders Of its Southern wing had
undetermined that it should fail. and had split
the party on purpose The nomination Of
Breckenridge and Lane was made to open
road TO Republican triumph.
Then the trouble was all about q platform
The candidates were nonessential: but the ma
iority (mainly Northern) made platform that
the minority almost wholly SOuthem) would
not abide So Breckenridge was nominated
that Lincoln might be elected.
Having thus divided aud beaten their own
party, the Southern leaders repudiated the Con-
stitutiOn and Union, and rushed INTO Civil War.
They seized the forts, arms, arsenals, armories
and sub-treasures of the Republic; while the
Northern Democrats backed them with mena-
cling shouts of "No CoerciOnw "Let them
"alone!n We were to have Peace by letting
the Government be- stripped and the Union
dissolved.
In 1854, another Democratic National Con-
vention assembled, and nominated Mcclellan
and Pendleton-On platform to which oil
eagerly assented-a Peace platform-One that
pronounced the War for the Union failure,
and demanded an immediate cessation of hos-
tilities. Nothing was ever palmer or less am
biguous.
The patriotism Of the country was aroused
and indignant. IL was soon manifest that this
platform was Odious and detested. Even the
candidate nominated thereon for President re-
fused to stand upon it. His letter accepting
the nomination distinctly repulated the plat
form. And no advocate of the ticket, Mt least
in this quarter, ventured to commend or chose
to give emphasis to the platform. OF course,
both ticket and platform were repudlated by
the People. .s |
This year, similar Convention was assem-
bled in Tammany Hall. IL was largely com
posed of Rebel Generals, Congressman, &c. A
platform was framed and candidates nomina-
ted VINO suited them exactly. The Vice Presi-
dent was nominated by leading Rebel, and
at once adopted with shouts by the Conven-
tion. He was so nominated because of
q letter he had just written, insisting
that the new State Governments at the
South should be dispersed by the
NEXT Democratic President welding the Army
for that purpose, and that members of Congress
chosen by the Rebel Whites, in defiance of the
Reconstruction acts should be admitted to
seats.
The Rebel chiefs went from that Convention
New-York tribune., 1868-10-23

fhe returns from West Virginia are very
ncager. Enough has been received, however,
to indicate that the Republicans have carried
the State By reduced majority. One of our
dispatches gives Republican gain of 500 in
Ohio County. We cannot credit it. Lincoln
carried the county in 1854 by 19O majority, but
in 1880 the Rebel majority ran from 143 to 300.
The Democrats claimed 200 majority this year,
and it is not possible that they have gone 500
out Of the way.
In the lst Congress District Isaac II. Duval
seems to run ahead of his ticket, and is proba-
bly, elected. We have no returns from the Hid
and lid Districts If the Rebels should gain
= District. it would be the Hid.
The next Legislature ia to choose United
States Senator in the place of Peter 6. Van
Winkle. The Republican majority on joint
ballot this year was 43. Our dispatches say
nothing about the new Legislature.

New-York tribune., 1868-10-23

The true Democratic organ of this city
recently declared that ia certain contingency
Grant would not live out fourth his term.
The representative of true Democracy on the
national ticket was recently reported as saying
in q public speech that Grant would never
leave tho White House alive. These facts
moved us to inquire whether assassination of
obnoxious Presidents was now become an
acknowledged plank Of the Democratic plat
form. We take pleasure in saying that diff
ference in the only two verbatim reports of
Gen. Blairs speech leaves it possible to believe
that he did not mean to instigate assassina-
ton, and we hasten to accept the charitable
possibility. One report represents Gen. Blair
az saving ut becomes a mere appendage Of
the military chieftain who is lifted to power
"in the name of the President, but mho
"nerer piH leare the Presidential mansion
"aHre" The other varies the expression
TO this: But who will never leave
tho Presidential mansion as long as ho lives.r
This last is from the report published in the
Democratic paper, after revision by the Gen
