or this class the New York World
is a prominent exponent, and it
has in the past few weeks been
quite profigate in gratuitous adj
vice to the South as to the course
to be pursued here. First among
its batch of new 6edged principles
is acquiescence in the results Sc
cured by the recent amendments
to the Constitution. W. Of the
South say very justly that we must
look to the Northern Democracy
for relief from our troubles. Dem.
ocracy does not consist solely in q
name. 1t is made ofthe purest Of
principles. 1t is not every North
ern man calling himself q Demo
crat who is one in fact. That is q
Democrat who is firmly and unal-
terably pledged to the principles
Of the party. The Democratic
party at the North is anxious to
be restored to power. Good and
pure motives actuate the greater
portion of the party, and this por-
ton is not willing to abate
one jot from the principles of the
party. There is another portion,
however, seeking for the over
throw of the Radical party and
for seating the Democratic who
are actuated solely by q desire
to control the offices. This
class is willing to concede
everything ; adopt anything to ac-
complish this purpose. Such men
endeavor to emasculate the party.
The principle which they feel can
be least disadvantageOusly dis

gro suffrage; this they desire to
set aside, at the same time they
earnestly desire to reconcile US Of
the South to this sacrifice Of prin-
Ciple, and hence we are submerged
with such gratuitous advice as
that which we find in the columns
Of the World. Negro suffrage
