Why n Democratic Editor Left the
Democratic Party.

Colonel L. r. Manlove, an ex Con
federate soldier and Democratic edi
tor in Texas, thus gives his reason
for abandoning the Democratic and
joining the Republican party:
Time and experience have forced
the conviction upon my mind that
Democracy has ceased to be. No
longer animated by those patriotic
impulses which, in other and happier
days. achieved so much in liherty's
behalf, its self-constitued leaders have
prosecuted the cardinal principles OF
Republican government in a mad
scramble fore place and power, and,
oh!ivious to the solemn truth that ap-
peal 10 arms has neen made and lost,
still strive to evoke from dead IA
tons tomb the shadowy phamtoms
of an irrcvocahle past.
Rcpuhlicanism, on the other hand,
meets the living issues OF the time ir
which we live. Though not free from
blemish in its long lease of power il
binds itself indissolubly to truth and
duty. espouses as its own the inter.
ests OF suffering humanity every.
where. and bids defiance to all The
powers of the universe to swerye il
from civil and religious freedom. Per
mittnig the dead past to bury th'
dead" it looks with unfaltering trust
TO the future wherein its grand mis-
sion is TO be accomplished and peac'
and liberty become the portion of all

TO BE CONTINUED
The Departed Democracy.

The democratic ''new departure"
departed yesterday at Dayton. 1t
consisted in swallowing the constitu-
tional amendments (de Jacto), negro
.ruffrage and the war debt. There is
nothing else that is new in the pro
tracted platforH, which is rather too
much devoted to fine composition for
practical dem ocratic use. The doe
tor of the new departure announced
that it is going to breathe nav life
into the democratic Jehoshaphat and
to excite a tremendous enthusiasm
among the dry homes. This certain
ly will be laudable in the departed
democracy, and rathera remarkable
effect for such a platform.
Sometimes children are persuaded
to take physic by telling them it
will make them better; but we never
heard of their getting enthusiastic
over the taking. The most of this
platform is physic to the democratic
party-tne amendments, negro snf
rage ard The war debt. Yet DR.. vi.
!a1dineham tells them to be very en-
thusiastic at taking it. According to
his notion, this IS what the demo
cr~cy have been mourning for and
longing after. Till now this has been
a most nauseous dose TO them, but
now they find it joyous. This is
passing strange. 1t is a sort OF Marl.
Fapley, coming out jolly under the
most melancholy conditions.
1t now appears that negro suffrage
was requisite to their complete hap
piness. This is truly a wonderful
change of heart. And that the adop
ton Of the debt incurred in putting
down the democratic rebellion, will
Change their long mourning to rap
tarous joy. This is very accommod-
ing.
And there is specie payment also.
A couple Of years ago the notion oil
an unlimited issue Of grecnbacks was
thought to be most ravishing one
to the western democracy. An army
OF them went to New York, ver-
dant IN greenb2c!, banners, to escort
''Youny Greenbacks' in to the presi-
! OSut!al NOMINATION. nc letlh!ig
democratic journal in the west put
out its subscription hand bills in the
shape of & mammoth greenback, as
big rs 4 windows utter.
Now, the western democracy are to
suppress all their groenbsck aspir-
atoms, and to become enthusiastic
over the promise of specie payment
This is being made to dance to shift
! ting tunes.
Bat, as if to show that this dry
baptism is not regeneration, they pro
nounce against the ku-kluX bill, but
have nothing to say against the ku
k'ux. They also pay a tribute to tLe
character of the republican party, by
the heavy charge that this is not the
true republican party but is another
party. Probably we shall soon hear
Vallandighem claiming to be FOL
lower Of the saintcd republican party
not this one but the other one.

parture dose to Columbus, June l

Can the Democrats Take = "NeU
De.lart;Irc?"

From the New York Pest.
The Importance OF the present cam
IN Ohio and the desperate con-
dition Of the democratic party there
are proved by the fact that Mr.. Gle
ment l.. Vallandigham leads the So
called new departure of Ohio dem
ocrats. The occasion chosen for
this stroke ofpolicy was little coun-
II convention in Dayton yesterday.
The movement had been gradually
explained and forsehadowed in order
to prepare the 'old BourhODs' of the
party for it, and TO save Mr. Valland
igham from the appearance of a sud
den conversion. The occasion was
selected probably with the view to
feel the public pulse before the demo
cratic state convertion,, which meets
on the 1st of June; bv this means
they can better judge upon what plat
form the Ohio democrats can be uni.
ted.
Mr. Vallandigham drafted and pre-
scnted the resolutions which he pro
poses to make the platform Of the ma.
iional democratic party. and was the
principal speaker at the meeting which
adopted them. The resolutions arc
long, and are too much in the ma
ture of partisan appeals to have any
more weight than such resolutions
usually have. Even the clauses
which refer TO the acceptance Of the
constitutional amendments and pro.
pose to take up .1iving issues" are SO
clouded by. words as to lose all force.
While promising to "bury out oil
sight all that is of the dead past, y
they follow up the promise with the.
oyies about the democratic conslruc-
tion of the constitution, which may
or may not be regarded as denying
the whole theory of the ''new depart
ure."
But accepting the resolutions as the
opinion Of the Ohio democrats in ra
vor Of q new departure" in good
faith, what does this opinion amount
to 1t Means simply that the demo
Gratis know the necessity of carrying
Ohio if they would enter upon the
national canvass of 1872 with any
hope of success. The New York
democrats may accept this platform
as they would accept any other fol
the sake of success; to them plat
forms are idle generalities, for use on
ly before election. The Pennsylvania
aud Maryland democrats will accept
any policy that does not interfere
with the monopolies over which they
stand guard more faithfully than their
republican colaborers. Even thC
Missouri dem Tocrats may promise tc
accept 5Ir Vallandigham's platform
while they heartily support Mr.
Frank Blsir's revolutionary doctrine
that the last amendments to the con,
stitut;on are "null and void" and tha
the ''carpet- bag governments" ough
to be driven oGt by force; and tn
! southern democrats may promise t,
follow dictation of the northern dem
ocrats on any policy for the sake o
success, white thev 90 on aPpiau lin.

PreDare for the Struggle.

Upon the subject ofcirculating Re
publican newspapers. the following
from the New York TrtjUHe is EN-
inentlv appropriate. and should COM
mend itself to the thoughtful and ac-
tive consideration OF leading RepGb-
licans in every township in the coun
"
1--WE urge then upon every active,
earnest Republicans in every State
and neighb jrhood to prepare for the
struggle before us by getting a Re-
publican newspaper into every family
where it will he received and read. -
Push your county or village paper in
case it is cheap and well conducted,
but some good Republican paper at
any rate. If the head OF that family
will subscribe and pay for it, so niuch
the better, but if not, aud he will ac-
cept and reod it, send it to him any
how.-A million of dollars thus spent
in letting light into households that
would otherwise be dark will never

sums, while it will probably make the
tlAtGeOce between success llii uGlSd'
in the great impending struggle.
i "A quite meeting of earnest Re
publicans in almost any township
would provide the means OF putting
Republican journal into each family
that might receive it with welcome.
Some would subscribe and pay FOL
it if asked By an esteemed neighbor
others would take it as a gift aEd

lars spent in supplying the destitute
with weekly food for reflection would

THE Buffalo Commercial AdverfiScr
says it has not encountered in any in

positive expression of hostility to the

the Treaty, because it is n fair and
favorable settlement of an irritating
difficulty, on the only basis possible

mood for splitting hairs over the

in which we most heartily concur !:
We think the Editorial Association

slow their appreciation of the. life

patriarch of the press. He was o
useful man in his day and generation,
and done much to uphold the dignity
of the profession which he hadctnsen.
His consistent character as 4 man and
Christian deserve we'll at the hands
of his bretheTn, and we would he glad
to see some action taken looking to
a suitable testimonial to his memory.
As the father Of Ohio journalism he
has peculiar claims to our reverence
and affection, and it is but fitting that
a man who has so virtuousiy fillci all
the varied duties of a public man and
a citizen should be appropriately re
membered. We would, therefore,
suggest that the Editorial Association

upon something which will be 4 credit

The Democracy of Montgomery
County OF their Convention last
Thursday adopted series of resoIu-
tions which are remarkable for some
things and promise to become rather
historic. These resolutions were
drafted and reported by C. Z. Val
landigllam. They profess to aban-
don all dead issues--that is admit
that the work accomplished by the
war and Republican craftsmanship is
right, and propose to fight no more
for its overthrow, for no other reason
that they can see no possible chance
Of success. Agree to disagree, be-
cause they can't help it. They op-
posed the abolition Of slavery, the
granting of civil rights to the freed
men, and their enfranchisement.
Being unable to prevent the consum-
nation Of these historic measures,
they then went about creating a public
sentiment against them, with the hope
Of overthrowing them in some way,
they didn't care how. Democrats de-
