The DAYTON Convention.
AT the late Democratic convention. held at
DAYTON Ohio are reuouncing allegiance tOtheir
former doctrine, and attempting to organize The
State of Ohio under new, and hitherto unknown
principles. They call tie Democrats, at that
meeting, the Democratic party of ISL. They
claim that this party is compotedAof of all classes,
both Republicans and Democrats How that Is,
time alone will prove. This so-called Democrat
c party is now organized for the purpose OF
misleading the Republicans, and inducing them
to unite with them this fall for the purpose of
carrying the State. 1 do not thiak the Reprb-
cans Will be deceived by this party any longer
after fighting thH government, and tenouncing
all the measures for the last ten years, they now
come out and declare that they now sever all
the different opinions heretofore existing be-
tween the two parties; that they now intend
to support TIE constitution and laws of toe
United States as they exist. The Democratic
party of1SJI, have to acknowledge that the re-
publican party have sustained every measure
that they published, and that the republican
measures have been formed on justice to the
human race, and prosperity TO The people of the
United States. They say they intend TO sup
port all the measures us they now exist. They
faIled in every cfort against the government,
but finally agree to disagree and submit. Well
they might say, that they intend to support and
advocate different principles. At the time of
the war they were opposed to coercing the South.
Were in favor of letting them set up a govern
mert for themselves; in that opinion they were
beaten and had to acknowledge that the war
was success and that the Union must be suS
tanned. They We're in favor of repudiating the
govern ment debt with them that proved fail
ure, and now in their Dayton Convention they
declare ''that they are in favor CT the payment
Of the public debt at the earliest practicable
tiuie,'' this is an entire new doctrine with the
Democratic party,
they have heretofore attacked the National
Banks and Government Bonds in the most fear
ful form: but row they have to agree that the
present National banking system is one of the
hest, most secure and safe that this government
ever had. Every business man knows that with
National currency he can transact business III
any part of the United States at par, with this
money, while with cur former currency every
merchant going east for goods had Grss to get
his money changed, he must procure eastern
funds. ut perhaps Il discount of from ten TO
twenty-five per cent, and then had n assur
ance that it would be at par when he arrir ed at
his place of destination, but not so with Nation
al curi ency, it is taken hy any hotel keeper, on
the cars for fare, for freight, and by all mer-
| chants at par for goods. And now we see that
Mr.. Pendleton must give up his Grecnback Sys-
TEN and fall in the New Democratic ranks, and
| acknowledge that his system has proved fail
Gre.
The sO-called Democratic party denounced
| the ameGdm nts to the constitution as being
unjust and an outrage upon the American peo-
| pie; That the amendments place the African Oh
! an equality with the white man and that they
would never submit TO such i law. But the
| amendments did pass. and became a part Of the
Constitution and the Col0red man is placed on
IN equality VITA tie Democratic pa, +, and they
are begging the colored people to join their new
party the Democratic party OF 1871. And thi,
so-cailed Democratic party is also asking this
Republican party to unite with them under
their new organization and name, but We think
this new Democratic party should make appli
cation to the Republican party to unite witt
| them. This new democratic party is like /;
