Y The late Democratic conventions hav
t thoroughly mdeceived those who SIM
posed that the leopard would suddenI,
change his spots. More AMUSING an,
even ridiculous spectaclcs have seldom
been presented to public attention ri
Z dIculous, because there is always some
. thing absurd in the incessant reteratin,
of offers that are perpetuallv rejected
he only alienation OF the old order j.
the nomination Of General Rosecrans fo,
governor of Ohio. But as if 10 extn.
%ulsh any hope that might begin to glim.
mer IN consequence, MIR. Wallace. th,
chairman of the Pennsylvania convcn.
ton, in calling 1t to order, remarked
that principles, not men, are the demo-
cratic doctrine. That, indeed. was evi.
dent at ColGmbnS, a. it was at Chicaco
in 1861. Then The man was one who
had been :! Union soldicr-thc principles
were surrender to the rebellion Now
the man is Rosecrans-the principles are
Nalland'"ham And is Mr.. Wallace
truly remarked, principles, not men, are
the democratic doctrine. Those who
ale not democrats. however, arc expected
to look solely at the man. Republicans
in Ohio, for instance, are respectfully re-
que>ted to contemplate the Union uni
form of Rosecrans while they give their
vote to allandigham
But with this exception the men and
the principles are equally familiar Val
landigham in Ohio, and in Pennsylya-
MIA Mr.. Wallace. Mr.. Hughes. and Mr..
Asa Packer. the candidate for Governor
are the same old COpperhead managers
who conducted the business during the
war. They told us then that the Gov
ernment WAS dark despotism because il
would not let our rebel brethren depart
in peace now they tell us it is a fell
tyranny because it will not let them stay
upon their own termS-thc Government
being the people of the country. Then
we were being taxed 10 immediate our
brethren; now we are taxed to pampcr
bloatcd bond-holders, who are nov our
brethren, probably because they sustain
ed the war. Then the ncgro was an III
tcrior, and this was Il white mans COY
