DEmoCRATIC TEST.

The test Of Democracy in this o'ste
has been clearly defined, and is well un-
derstood by the informed on the politics
Of the day. 1t requires no one from the
grave TO declare what we already prac'
lice and knew to be sound partisan doc
trine. If men are ignorant of the funda-
mental dogmas Of our party it is their
misfortune, and they should not accuse
others of setting up unheard OF tests.
The Democrats have all over the country,
and more especially in Tennessee de-
clared themselves in favor of q white
mans government in opposition to me-
gro rule, that our Radical enemies would
endeayor to fasten upon US. This prin-
ciple of our party was enumerated years
before the war and has been adhered to
BY Democrats from the time when mem
ory runneth not to the contrary. 1t is
no nsw thing in this Government to cry
out against negro domination. The
Radicals have been for years en-
deavoring to force negro equality
rpon the people of the United States,
and have succeeded in accomplishing
their purpose SO far as to compel several
States of the South, by the force of the
bayopet, to accept the humiliaiing spec
aele. The craven-hearted in this State
now shake with fear, expecting such dis
grace to be our own. And to make fair
weather with the supposed conquerors
they proclaim beforehand their willing
ness to take the negro in as social and
political equal. These are they who
have left the ranks Of the time-houored
party, and have acquiesced in the
ruinous tenets of the opposition Radicals.
They proclaim to be Democrats no
longer, and say that the party has ceased
to exist. II is with this class of politi-
clans that we now contend. The issue
vas not made by the Democrats, but
forced upon them by the very men who
would eadesvor to blot the name Of the
party itself from the memory of our peo'
ple. We do not object to the return
of such renegades TO the bosom OF
the grand old mother party, but we
think it highly improper that men Ike
these, who have been associating 9TH
negroes and Radicals, should at once
he taken into full fellowship and per-
mitted TO exercise all the rights of tried
old veterans who stood the storm OF
battle throughout. We would suggest a
process of publication before they be
entitled to the places once occupied
around the family board. We want q
little earnest OF their faith since their
return before we will again give our
confidence aud recognition as brethren.
The simple act Of mans saying that be
is Democrat don't make him one by
auy means, and should not eniille him
10 participate in Democratic meetings
Professions without the durable evidennl
of works is nothing. By q mana works
shall ye know him. B., with the univer-
sal suffrage wing Of the Radical party il

these to vote with the negro and at th'
same time be tru,hfully considered simor
pure Democrats. The two won't wOrl

Radicals and Democrats in the Fourth
Ward last night.

bewildered. 1t Is said, and truthfuiiy,
too that "whom the gods would destroy
they first make mad" In the mad hunt
after office and popular favor few men
in this State would wreck the ship OF
state upon breakers that are known to be
ahead. We warn these to dss'st
from their reasonable purposes; for II
is treason, and nothing more, for
those who would adopt policy
that is we'll understood will work
destruction to our national existence.
1t is not supposable that ladies or negro
wenches can exercise, with discretion,

the country, who are regarded as possess
ing more vigorous minds, have not
demonstrated the fact that they are ca
pable of seIfgovernment. Aud 1T is now
proposed to throw into the eesspool OF
politics an element totally unfit to
govern, and thereby add to the already
large number Of incompetents. We con-
clude, with such acts in view, there is no
remedy for the diseased state of politics
of this country. and the sooner we go to
