THE New York Commercial, Advertiser says
that had the FORESTS, Hamptons, and Vances
dared to do so, they would probably have in
troduced a resolution into the Tammany Con-
venton, last July, asking that the Confederate
debt be placed on the same footing as the Fed
eral debt. 1t is not improbable that at a fu-
ture day these extreme Southern leaders may
put forth this claim, particularly if the coun-
try should be so unfortunate as to ever fall I'M
der Democratic sway. The Louisville Courier
Journal, the leading Democratic organ of the
must Democratic State in the Union, foreshad-
ows such an event when it editorally observes:
"During the war the North incurred debt
and the South incurred debt. The North
and the South incurred their debts in equally
good faith. fit would be dishonorable in the
North to repudiate her debt, was it honorable
in her to compel the South to repudiate hers?
Is it honorable in one party to compel another
party to do what is dishonorable? Has not
the North, by compelling Southern repudia-
ton ,perpetrated as great a dshonor as the re-
pudiation of her own debt would be?" De-
mocracy has shown in the past that it is capa-
BILE of anything. Once let the old leaders re-
gain their supremacy, and it is not impossible
that the party will demand the reputation of
the national and rebel debt or the recognition
of both.
