CONSISTENCY.

Ihe Cosri,r attempts 10 read US ',sscn
,n consistency. simply because We affirmed
that the platform of the Baltimore Con.
vcn,ion embodied the principles for which
Democrats have cou,endcd, and quotes the
clauses relating to the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Amendments. to substantiatc its
position. Probably our language is capa.
tlc of misappication when subject to the
critical analysis Of our learned cotempo-
rary, but the idea We intended to convey
is clear to every one who looks at it with.
out a special disposition to bubble upon
the meaning of words. The living prin-
cip'cs set forth in the platform are such as
have been declared in every Democratic
platform of which We have any knowledge,
and the maintenance inviolatc Of the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments,
is just as much the duty Of the Democracy,
now as any other provision of that instru-
ment This is, and ever has been, Demo-
cratic policy. A strict adherence to the
provisions Of the Constitution, aud faith
full administration OF the laws under it,
has been demanded by the party, as the
safeguard of freedom and the best guaran-
tee of the rights of citizenship. Quib.
bling and hair-splittius may do for the
Courier for in this diversion its editor is
schoolcd, but we have no taste nor inclina'
ton to resort to the tricks Of pettifoggcr
TO carry point.
