The Democratic Address.

We publish this morning the address of the
Congress to the people of the United States on
the political situation, Those who expected
that it would contain any reference to the last
amendments to the constitution or to the re-
construction question will be disappointed
Neither does it refer directly to negro suffrage,
although its declaration that the democracy
intend to protect and perpetuate the rights of
the humblest citizen may be construed into a
recognition of the colored mans political
standing, and an acquiescence in it
The principal point made in the address is
that wherein it arraigns the radicals for so
legislating as to establish centralized mill
tary government. On this point the address
is vigorous and decisive, anS an appeal is
made to the people to Illustrate the designs of
radicalism by restoring the States to local
self-government and by limiting the powers of
Congress and the President. The object and
effect Of the Ku Klux bill is explained at
length, and the extraordinary powers granted
therein to the President are characterized as
not only unconstitutional but as dangerous
to the liberties Of the country.
On the subject OF the tariff and the taxes the
address charges the radicals with persistently
and wilfully postponing reform on both,
although the necessity for such reform is
keenly felt by the overburdened masses The
financial policy Of the government is assailed
and the extravaganza of the radical admins
tration since the close Of the war is shown in
the fact that during the past five years the
expenses for ordinary purposes have been
nearly as great as the entire expenses Of the
government for seventy years prior to the
outbreak of the rebellion. The syste m
Of appointment to Office is sharply criticised,
the address declaring that fealty to the Pre-
sident is made the test of capacity.
Violence in the South and other parts of the
country is deprecated, and an appeal is made
to the people to suppress disorder and to re-
spect the rights Of all. The charge that the
democratic party sympathizes with violence is
indignantly denounced.
Such are the salient points OF the address,
which, on the whole, is more an arraignment
Of radicalsm than declaration of democratic
policy. Excepting on the subject Of radical
designs on the form Of our government IT pro-
poses no remedies for the evils which II refers
to, and it may be that the signers Of the
address did not feel themselves authorized to
proclaim platform Of principles and thus per-
form duty which, as q matter Of right be-
longs to the Democratic National Convention,

MR. wISANs has issued his letter of defence,
and il will be found In another column Of the
HERALD. II Is weak and unsatisfactory as
defence, consisting, as it does, mainly of in
situations against other republican members,
and q confession Of inexcusable carelessness
or ignorance In reference to signing
the resolutions Of the caucus. Senator
Fenton is vindicated, and the charge
Of bribery Is met with the terms slander
and lie, but his love for Erie is confessedy,
to some extent, the influencing cause Of his
action. He has been employed by Erie SO

THE "BULLs" AND "BEARs" in Wall street
have renewed hostilties, and a terrific battle
was fought between them yesterday, resulting
in a triumph for the former. Seriously speak
ing, the activity ON the Stock Exchange is
really one of the features Of the times, and
has seldom been paralleled even in the history
of Wall street. In one stock the dealings yes
terday were to the extent in money value Of
nearly ten millions Of dollars.

elaborate and artistic preparation which no

his fierce, coarse, cavalry onslaught on Wash

certain wild genius for invective to demolish
his victim, while he shocked and astounded
the country. Nowadays member pursues a
