the manufactured Ku Klux opp robrium upon
the democrats. This Ku Klux, Il d thought,
viii DO good enough Morgan for the republic
cans until after the Presidential election In
1872. Another monstrous bugaboo Senator
Morton calls up to alarm the voters is that the
democrats might repudiate the national debt.
What says the democratic city Of New York,
where the greater part Of the debt and flnan-
cial operations of the country are concen-
trated, to this2 It Is more likely that Mr..
Aorton's section, the West, would repodiate
the debt than the democrats But there is no
fear that any party In this country viii enter
tain such q thought. The Senator boasts Of
the republican administration having paid of
. considerable amount OF debt, but he for
gets to tell us this has been done
by wrlnging four or Eve hundred
millions year out Of the hard earnings Of the
American people. In fact the whole of the
republican platform, as laid down by Mr..
Morton, is negative. He proposes no great
measures He brings forward no popular
issue. He and the administration party ex-
poet to flourish upon the old war issues that
are obsolete, and all their efforts nov are
directed to galvanize the dead past. No great
party can exist long in that way. General
Grant, Speaker Colfax, Senator Morton and
the little circle of their friends at the Washing
ton meeting have opened the campaign for
1872, but 1t has yet to be seen if other promi-
nent leaders of the party will accept their
action or follow them. The race is not always
to the swift. Vast changes may take place in
the course Of year, and these gentlemen may
yet discover that they started too early.

dared to show ambition or independence As
to other matters the resolutions are silent.
But Senator Morton and Colfax, particularly
the former, supplied all that was needed on
political issues. The speeches Of these gen.
tlemen make up the platform of principles or
issues upon which the administration party
intend to 20 before the public.
There is one thing, however, that Is not
mentioned-no, not even alluded to either In
the resolutions or specches-and that is the
pet St: Domingo scheme Of the administra-
ton. We do Dot refer to this by way Of re-
proach or to poke the administration In
tender spot, but rather In commentator Of
the sagacity the President and his friends
have shown In 80 utterly abandoning this un-
popular scheme. II the democrats were as
wise In dropping unpopular issues and trim
ming their sails for the popular breeze they
would succeed much better than they do. But
what Of the platform Of principles laid down
In Senator Morton's speech2 Boiled down, as
Andy johnson would say, we see nothing but
the shreds Of the past-nothing but general
TRADE against the democrats for their past
follies and tho great things the republicans,
by way Of contrast, assume to have done
since they have been in power. Then
the Senator raises up frightful
Ku Klux spectre to frlghten the voters Of the
North into the republican fold. II looks,
indeed, from the proceedings Of this meeting,
the action Of Congress and the general course
of the party, as IL the Ku Klux spectre Is to
be made the main Issue before the people. An
