Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1871-04-20

We have long since ceased to mar.
vel at any position which the New
York World may assume. 1t seems
% be the magnet Of bad men, and
bad ideas, which have lately culmin-
ated into an organization threatening
the Democratic party and the country.
II it can possibly make good its re-
cent abandoned and treacherOus posi-.
ton, there is no breach Of trust, ex-
press or implied, which it may not
commit with impunity. It's late edi-
t0rials indicate with what shameless
haste and effrOntery the best interest
Of Democracy are TO be sacrificed.
The great Democratic party Of the
nation has had no confidence in the
World, since it proposed to sell out the
party in 1865. The Democratic party
met at New York, and after
carefully comparing notes, n0mi-
mated Seymour and Blair. In
deed, so overwhelming was the
sentiment OF the party that the
nomination was literally forced upon
Seymour. All true Democrats were
satisfied with their standard-bearers
not a word of complaint was uttered
against the candidates, or the platform.
The party was sanguine Of success:
but while the battle was raging, and
our champions were CALAMITY fight
ing ior victory, the New York World
turned traitor. Ii demoraHzed the
party by acknowledging defeat when
there was much that promised tri-
umph. 1t called upon the Demo
cratic Executive Committee to meet
without delay and at once withdraw
Seymour and Blair, and place upon
the ticket some quasi Democrat,
whose success would have secured
nothing but the spOils of Office. The
World is in the pay Of the bondhold-
ers and in the interest Of shoddy. 1t
Is owned by a few wealthy gentlemen
who belong to the venaI DemOcr acy,
aud 20 they triumph, and get their
hands in the public treasury they care
not whether true Democracy be laid
PROSTATE or Radicalism made tri-
umphant. The World really has no
politics. LISA overty-stricken recep-
tacie Of odds and ends, and Is like
the kaleidoscope, which has to be shift
ei every day tOiamuse a set Of subscri-
bars just as shallow and tricky as
itself. The bouquet Of fine writing
CONES to seed occasionally, and the
World IS for sale everywhere, so that
Wel[dressed, gOOd-for-n0thing, smart
phrases, and superficial arguments. /

nation, much less principles and sci
euce, for 50 much line. The weather
cock o. the New York World has
mounted his tripod and com
msnced manufacturing his tin
pan thunder. We know not
what the Borld proposes by its plati-
-udes; but We understand it as mean
to say that the Democratic party
must adopt a platform OF "'aIfand-
in order TO win. The honest De-
nocracy Of the nation viii scon such
dishonesty. They still have faith in
heir principles. They stIH believe
hat honesty is the best policy. A
Democratic platform, composed Of
unable mush, WoHld accomplish
What the New York BOrld seems to
iestre-the destruction Of the Demo
ratio party. The true men had rather

than triumph on a rick
