The Vallandigham platform continuce
a subject of attention. The Tribune
makes good point when it says "The
people will see in it final acknowledge
ment that the Republicans were right in
the past and further reason for trusting
them in the future
The Louisville Ledger, Democratic
paper of Bourbon proclivities, says the
Ohio Democratic platform accepts the
Constitutional amendments as accom-
plished facts, "bM with construction
1chich 1cW render them harmless" That
is the Southern side of the picture it
has another face for the North
The Republicans of Kentucky assert
that many Democrats are dissatisfied with
the "Old Bourbon" sentiments of the
Democratic candidate for Governor, and
will vote for the Republican candidate,
Gen. Harlan. Among the men who are
named as leading in this movement are
Leslie Coombs, James f. Robinson, Geo.
Robertson and DR.. S. +. Cans.
1t is stated that Gen. Thayer is to be
a candidate for Governor Of Nebraska at
the next election. The ex-senator is an
earnest and able supporter of the admins
tration, made an honorable record in Con-
gress, and will fill with ability any posi-
ton to which the people of his State may
call him.
The Richmond Why is very severe on
jeff. Davis for uttering language that
will be used to keep to himself. Like
other Southern organs, it thinks that the
ilustrious babbler is taxing Southern en-
DURANGO, and it upbraids him with gross
incompctency and objectionable Ignorance
at the time Of the Hampton Roads Cen.
ference, which brought upon the South
the evils it has since suffered.

The Democracy, represented as much
out at the elbow and looking very sick
indeed, draws back in agony as the Doc
ter proffers small negro, with the re-
mark, Swallow this now, there's good
fellow, and you'll feel better"
The New York Times pertinently calls
attention to the fact that whatever"new
departures" the Democratic party may
professedy indulge in, there is one issue
that between paying the Government
obligations in honest coin or in promises
to pay-which it has not and will moi
repudiate, Mr.. Pendleton's organ, the
Cincinnati Enquirer pointedly says
1.-The policy of paying the public debt
with paper legal tenders is adhered tc
and insisted on" This is one of the
stones the Democracy tied on its neck
when it plunged into the last campaign
and it will have to carry it through the
coming one
Alexander II. Stephens has written q
four column letter, which, taken in con-
nection with the platform of the Penn.
sylvania Democracy, and the "new de-
parturc Of the party" is Of the greatest
significance. 1t accepts the thirteenth
amendment, but repudiatcs the others
, and is throughout bitter phillipic upon
the reconstruction policy of the Govern
ment, and by implication severe arraign
ment of the Vallandigham Democracy.
The Cincinnati Times thinks that il
the Republicans with good State ticket
and no twaddling resolutions will carry
the State next October by large major

100000 they had the last time Vallan'
digham led Democracy, but near enough
