. MISUNDERSTANDING Read.
ingfOF Democrats.
We find the following extremely
interesting reading matter in tine edi-
torial columns of Brick POmerOy's
Democrat. We commend it to the
careful consideration of the Demoera.

'wHO LAID THAT ROTTEN EGG ~
From Pomeroy's Democrat
1--WE here wish to correct the cur
rent opinion that Mr.. Vallandigham
was the originator and Dayton the
birthplace" of the "New Depar-
ture. 1t had no such a noble origin
as Vallandigham, nor as reputable q
birthplace" as Dayton. 1t was tie
corrupt offspring of the corrupt Tam
many Ring of New York City. There
the heresy was conceived, born and
eradled in the hot bed of corruption ;
and the child is not unlike its progeni-
tors. Dayton was made the starting
point, and unfortunately, by some
strange Ond unaccOuntablef faulty, V,
became the instrument for its prOpa-
CATION"
i We happen to EROtC personally, that
G. L. Nallandigham was not the orig
inatOr of the sO-called ''New Depar-
ture." That ignominy was conceived
in Tammany Hall, in the city of New
York. Some weeks previous to its
enunciatiOn in the West, Hon. G. L..
Vallandigham visited New York City;
stopped at the Astor House for an in
terview with Mr.. Peter B. Sweeney
and a company of Tammany politi-
clans. The meeting lUds 6y appoint
DleHt.
At this meeting it was proposed by
the managers of Tammany to create a
new issue; run it through the West
and South, especially in the interest
of the leaders in the movement, having
for its object the attracting the atten-
ton Ofthe people from real to false is
sues.
The programme was the resuscita-
ton of the scheme of 1868, so far as re-
lated to the nomination of Salmon P.
Chase for the Presidency. At this
| interview the financial and political
support of Tammany was pledged to
Chase for the Presidency, and Val
| LIndighdD1 for the Vice Presidency.
1t was proposed by this coup d etdt
to shelve Mr.. PendletOn, decapitate
| Mr.. Hendricks, forever extinguish
Ex-Governor Seymour, and take the
Craftsmanship of the New York State
Democratic Central Committee from
Mr.. Tilden, and give IL to Mayor
Hall or William N. TiCeed. The
I State of New York was pledged to
this movement and a majority prom
ised, by fair means or foul, for such
a ticket when came the election of
1872.
Besides this, the next National
| Democratic Convention was to be
packed with a majority of delegates
in favor of continuing, as at present,
protection to United States bonds,
National Banks, and those who hold
United States securities, exempt
from Taxation. This would insure
for the Mongrel ticket the support of
the financial men of the country, Of
the darkies of the South who were
friendly to Mr.. Chase, and of the
Democrats of the country who be-
lieved in the purity of Mr. Vallandig-
hams patriotism. From such tick
ct, engineered by Tammany, was ex-
pected to come success.
In return for this management and
money to be expended, the OriginatOrs
of the scheme were to rejoice in the
satisfaction of having killed both the
Republican and Democratic parties,
of shelving obnoxious politicians, and
having the control of national affairs
in the hands of Tammany. The OBJ
,ject of all this was not to benefit the
country, lessen taxation, add to the IN
dustrjes Of the people, but to put an
hIlndred-fOLd additional pOlDer in the
hands Of q felU men IOhO haze IN q feIU
gears gTO1OTl from poverty to be the
leaders Of the greatest system of rob
berry, corruption, extravaganza and
lOrOHg doing the country ever Witnessed,
outside of the ones who have, in the
Republican party, so robbed and OPP
pressed the people.
Such a combination would effectu-
ally wrest Ohio, not only from the
control of the Republicans, but from
the power of such Democrats as Op-
posed Vallandigham, and sent Thur
man to the United States Senate. 1t
was q scheme aimed at the rights and
earnings Of the people.
One who had been by Democrats
counted as one of the purest patriots
of the nation, went to his home in the
West, and then to his other home
while the people of the city and State
of New York are now proposing to
battle with the OriginatOrs of the
scheme, and who, in reality, laid the
rotten egg,
