iactUre Of Malt. Their only alternative,
therefore, is between Matt and Rice, and
a. Malt is their greatest aversion, they con-
Guided to make their political dinner on
Rice. At this the representative Of Malt is
disconsolate, and puts forth an affecting
appeal to the Democrats, who are supposed
to be more favorable to the produc-on Of
that article
1t is really distressing to see Mr. Petit
being sm0thered in his own malt, but it
would be more affecting still to see Demo
Gratis deserving their own candidate TO res
cue him from the bigotry Of his own party
friends. This Temperance opposition is,
to be sure, but piece Of fanaticaI perse-
cution which, in various FORMS is the lead
ing characteristic of the radical party: yet
we are safe in saving that even under these
narrowing circumstances, Mr.. Pettits APP
peal will be entirely in vain. The Demo
Gratis will vote for men and not Malt.
But the worst of misf0rtunes may be
mended We suggest to Mr.. Petit that
though the mountain cannot 20 to Mohan-
med, Mohammed may come to the noun
tain. Let him join the Democratic party
which will allow him to pursue any legiti-
mate business without rsecution.-Crau-

How silc two Parties Treat the
EaSDimany SiiIaIny.
The Republicans only made an expo
sure and created a sensation. They es-
tablishcd Committee of Seventy, which
has done nothing but gabble abous some
2fbGr Trf fn s. Eh'@b nt ncye
made. 4 subcommittee called on GOV.
Hoffman and invoked him 70 declare martial
law, which he had no legal right to do
and 70 overthrow the city government by
revolution, placing its administration in
the hands Of some Major of the militia.
They procured the arrest Of Mayor Hall,
and had him bound over to await the
action Of the Grand Jury, which was then
to meet in a day or two, and which could
have taken the same co-nizance of the case
without tins sham arrest as with it,
They adopted resolution in their State
Convention, which was a mere mass Of
frothy defamation, and contained no
proposition for 4 nactical cure Of the
evils. They are dominating for members
of the Legislature, all over the State of
New York, the sane corrupt creatures who
have been annually bribed and bought up
By Iammany, TO carry on its corrupt
/ schemes Of piunicr and fraud, and they
Boss" Tweed is reelected, to Nlprort all
his rascalities and defeat if possible, the
measures Of reform that the Democratic
party have pledged the people to undertake
/ Their newspapers have howled throughout
the country; See Tammany, and that is
what the Democrats Will do if they ever get
4 i'll pow er at Washington.
| Now, what have the Democrats done,
I / II. ! 4
! Tammany? The Democratic Judge Barn
ard issued an injunction depriying the Tam
many city officers of all their official powers
/ to collect and disburse money. That rem
i dered them poWllicss for further evil The
/ Democratic citizens procured the appoint
1 mcnt of Andrew II. Green as Deputy
/ Comptroller, with the powers of Comptrol-
Ter, and he is making thorough inyestiga-
4 ton OF the city finances, as to their past
management while reducing confusion to
order in the financial administration, and
confirming expenses to the actual necessities
Of the public welfare. As a financial ex-
Cctuive officer he is without IL superior in
the country. Governor Hoffman has direct
ed the Attorney General Of the State to
associate with himself Charles O'Connor,
+ the great Democratic lawyer, and the leader
of the New York bar, by whom the embcz-
zlcrs Of the public money are to be prosecut-
cd and compelled to make restitution TO the
taxpayers. All this has been done with
out furry, noise or any great sensation, by
the peaceful use Of lawful remedies, through
the courts, and by the officers of the law
They have, therefore, stopped the stealing,
are asccrtaining as rapidly a. possible how
much have been stolen and who has got it,
and has taken measures to procure the re-
turn to the treasury Of the stolen money.
They have gore further. In the Demo
cratic State Convention the Democratic
party has plightcd Its faith to the people to
supplement these temporary remedies by a
permanent and cficacIous one, to prevent
any such thing as Tammany frauds in the
future. They have declared that they will
enact new CITY charter for New York,
| lc-islating out of office all of the present
corrupt crew, and providing for new cleo
ton of officers of the best men in the city.
They will require a frequent and full pub
4 lication of all the collections and disburse-
mcnts Of revenue, that the people may be
constantly informed of the details of the
/ financial affairs of the city, and know where
/ every dollar comes from and where it goes
I to. In addition to this real accountability
! TO the people, they will make the Mayor re
movable from office by the Governor, and
the other city officers removable by the
| Mayor on cause shown, so that for any
malteasancc OF incapacaty, a prompt and
efficient remedy may be in the hands of the
people, acting through the executive officers
| They III addition, purgcd the party of
Tammany by giving its delegates, though
themselves pure and upright men, no place
IN the convention, and they removed from
the Democratic State Central Cammittee
every agent and friend of Tammany.
TO be sure, Tweed has received Demo
cratic denomination for the State Senate in
a district composed of the lowest wards of
New York city. Bat he is opposed by the
Democratic newspapers, the Democratic
State Central Committee, and all the re-
spectacle representatives of the Democratic
party. While Thomas Murphy, his part
ner in Tammany real estate frauds, who
swindled the treasury out Of Sill 200 on a
shoddy hat contract by which the soldiers

gambler, gave Grant his Long Branch cot
