WHAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
HAS DONE FOR THE COUNTRY
ABROAD.

The first disgrace the American
Government ever suffered abroad,
was inflicted by men whose highest
boast of social standing and poll
tical influence consisted of their
being Democrats. Our country was
never misrepresented and belied
until Democratic slave-holding trait
ors went abroad to induce the gov
ernments of Europe to aid the re-
bellion for its destruction. The
Masons, Slidells, Yulees, Soules,
Thompsons and others of their ilk,
went to Europe to belle and belittle,
in the name of slavery, American
free institutions. To the courts Of
Europe, the free white labor of the
North was represented as ignorant,
brutal, venal and vile-unft for
self-government and unworthy OF
international recognition and re-
ciprocity. BY this means, it was
hoped the world would be induced
to throw its influence and bestow
its sympathy in favor of the slave
holders rebellion. And to q cer-
tain extent the plan succeeded. We
had little of the sympathy of the
governments of Europe in our ef-
forts to crush treason. American
Democrats abroad bad disgraced us
DETAINED us, and belied all our pur-
poses and plans. Nevertheless, we
succeeded, and Europe changed
her notions concerning our ability
as u warlike people. Our power as
a self-sustaining nation was reco3-
nized and respected, but before
either was done, on account of Dem
ocratic intrigue and insolence, we
had to wade through rivers of blood
and clothe the land in mourning.
And now comes a second disgrace
to the American people abroad,
caused by Democratic foulness at
home. The frauds of the Tammany
ring. which mean the corruption OF
the Democratic party all over the
land, are made use of by the des-
pots and aristocrats of the old world
to prove that Republican form Of
Government is a failure, that it is
corrupt, debasing and ruinous of
popular right and social purity.
Thus we have the Democratic lead
ers and party to thank for trouble
at home and disgrace abroad-Dai-
ly State journal.

FIFTH DAY.

The Convention met at 10 A. Nj.
Prayer was offered and the min
utes read, when the discussion was
resumed upon the resolution offered
by MIR. Pinchback Saturday, and q
substitute offered by Mr.. Grey, Of
Arkansas, endorsing the admins
tration of President Grant.
The following is the substitute
offered by MI. Grey:
Resolved, That we heartily endorse
the administration of President
Grant, and favor his denomination
to the Presidency, believing that
under his leadership, with judici-
ous management. the Republican
party can be led to a glorious VIC
tory in 1872.
The debate occurred upon mo-
ton to postpone the consideration
of the substitute, and was exceed
ingly warm, especially between the
Georgia and Arkansas delegations.
The principle point made by some
was that it is somewhat premature
to tie themselves at this early date
to any line of action. 1t was ex.
pressed by some in this debate, that
the President had not gone fal
enough in the matter Of protection
The discussion in some instances
brought members to their feet, te
assert in a very positive manner
that they were not opposed t.
Grant, but simply were unwilling
to bind themselves to any renomi
nation.
Mr.. Belcher, Of Georgia, though
it was not the duty of the Conven,
ton to endorse for denomination
Grant or any one else at this time
twelve months in advance, and Il
pledge the colored people to hi
support for the next candidate. Ye
be believed Grant was entitled Il

I say whether it be General Grant

to put the government in the hands
Of our sworn enemies, it becomes
our solemn duty, and the duty of

The honorary member from Ohio
offered a resolution on Education.
The above was referred to commit
tees.
Mr.. Pinchback, the Chairman oil
the Committee of Civil Rights, re-
ported. Long and exciting debate
followed, extending into the evening
session. The principal points made
were that generally the law was
quite ample but the colored people
were to blame in not seeing il
properly enforced. Also, it was Of.
fered as an excuse by Price o
North Carolina, that the race wat
so poor in his State that they were
unable to seek redress, through the
proper courts, even if they woult
grant it.
The subject was thoroughly dis
cussed by Messrs. Piuchback o
Louisiana, Price of North Carolina
and Belcher of Georgia. The re
port as was then adopted urges th'
passage of the supplementary Civi
Rights b;ll,. as proposed by Hon
Charles Sumner.
In the evening session mino
questions were considered ant
finance discussed by the member
generally.
