WASHINGTON. March 90, 1871.
The Platform Of the Democracy-A Forward
80 Movement.
During the recept differences among the republi-
cans In Congress, the tendency OF which is to
weaken the party and lessen Its influence through
out the country, the democrats have pursued the
sagacious policy Of keeping quiet. counselllng unity
and harmony among themselves and letting the re-
publcans quarrel as they pleased. The spectacle OF
republicans fighting each other suggests TO the
democrats the story OF the Kilkenny CATS The
democrats are carefully watching the progress and
the tendencies of events. Being numerically in the
minority, they have not deemed 1t wise to inau-
gurate any positive policy concerning the impor-
tant questions In which the interests OF the country
are involved. seeing that the course the op-
position is pursuing furnishes them SO
much to crltlcise. They have been inclined
10 confne themselves principally to antagonism to
what they consider from their standpoint to be
wrong on the part of the administration and the
republican party They begin to have some doubts
however, as to whether the democracy OF the c0un-
eive policy They think 1t is not necessary that the
people should know wherein the policy Of the party
IN power Is erroneous, but that they should know
what course the other party would pursue should II
succeed to power. They do not consider 1t sound
craftsmanship to confne themselves exclusively to
critical opposition, but, on the contrary they believe
they should enunciate certain great measures OF pub
lc policy which would govern the democratic party
should be called upon to resume the administration
nfu fHoi~ nV,o ~
gress are well aware Of the fears expressed In GER
tain quarters that the advent OF a democratic ad
rnnistration and ruling majority In the House Of
Representatives might restore to great extent the
supremacy OF the South ana involve the country in
host OF complicated and internal troubles. They
Indignantly disclaim The possibility Of any such re-
suit, and maintain that the democratic party OF to.
day is truly national party. Upon many Of the
public questions Of the day they entertain opinions
diametricaly opposed to those Of the administration
and the republican party and they think 1t is time
The position they assume among themselves should
be communicated to the country With this view 1t
