THE BOURBON y APOOALYPsB,

1t would perhaps be unjust to say that
many Of the adherents of the united
State ticket were not sincere reformers.
1t is true that many of them have been
beguiled into believing that political
abuses can only be corrected through its
instrumentalities But these men are few,
and carry but little weight in the scale Of
politics. The majority of them are selfish
and corrupt hangers on Of party, seeking
Office, or counting the favor of the profit
gate distributors of its spoils. They know
themselves to be actuated by base and
selfish motives, and can not conceive it
possible for others to be less thoroughly
swayed by influences equally depraved and
reprehensible.
To use the language Of a contemporary
perfectly familiar with the emotions it
describes, and thoroughly versed with all
the. ingenious devices to which they give
rise, "they are mere wire-workers and
place hunter5-men who, for the most
pant, would adhere to any party which
would assign them places within the inner
rings where all the fat jobs are put up and
tie plumber divided out az bandits divide
the spoils of the highway"
Dishonest themselves, avariciOus and
INSCRIPTIONS how can they conceive it
possible for others to be of a different
mould Besides, these men have come,to
believe that this opportunity is the last
one afforded them Of reaching the goal of
their wishes. If their own ticket is de-
feated, they trust that the Radicals, whose
chances they are multiplying, will not
prove regardless of their favors. We sub
NIT that such is a fair Interpretation Of
their motives and designs as disclosed in
repeated publications in their acknowl-
edged organ.
Vulgar, coarse and malignant, its argu-
ments are contumely, and SANDER ripens
in its pages with the facility of an cpl
demic. Where are the arguments pro-
duced sustaining the cause it espouses?
There are none. It seeks no other way to
public confidence than the abuse OF It's
opponents, and praise and eulogy of the
purity of.its own intentions. An organ or
party dependent on such means of pop
ularity is weak in the essentials of sue
cess, and as parties, as well as individuals,
always employ the strongest weapons they
have, we have a right to infer these are
their strongest weapons.
1t may be that Governor Warmoth has
committed many grievous errors-he has
faults like other men-but were he half as
bad as the Picaypuoe pictures him the fact
could only be discovered by the practice
of setting a thief to catch him" That
his enemies have done this, that journal
in itself is a conspicuous example. That
they have failed is equally apparent, mas
much as honesty and virtue always tri-
umph over knavery.

If the assertion of the Citizens Guard is
true that SO many Democrats will vote for
Grant as to 'astound those people who
imagine the President has no support
er5 from that quarter, it must admit that
support thus obtained by Mr.. Greeley in
no way more impairs his Republicanism
than it does that Of its own candidate. As
Mr.. GreeIey's repubicanism is so far su-
perior to that Of General Grant, it is clear
therefore that the proper way for Repub-
licans to procure a national government
according with their views and principles
is to vote for the old Chappaqua farmer
This is a logical conclusion and q true
one.

UNCONSTITUTIONAL FEDERAL PLAN
The chief duty Of President Grant
when he acceded to power was the recon-
struction of the Union. The plan of his
predecessor had failed. 1t was said that
too much faith had been given to bad
counsels, and that the incoming admins
tration would avoid the errors 50 notice
ably insufficient in the previous expert
ment. The whole country gladly seized
upon the Presidents desire for 'peace" as
the key which was to unlock the door of
national harmony. Congress, with singu-
lar unanimity, placed at the executive dis
posal all the means necessary to effect the
great purpose of reconeiling warning sec
tons. The belief was manifest that when
cruelty and lenity played for a kingdom,
the gentlest gamester was the soonest
winner" Peace and kindness were there
fore to be the means Of restoring the coun-
try. The enforcement act was an instru-
ment merely to punish the bad'and protect
the innocent. 1t was never to be used as
a political adjunct and means of carrying
an election Indeed, it was then thought
it had no such properties. twas regarded
merely as a dormant principle, which
might, in great public emergency, such
as riot or rebellion, be called into active
operation. Such were the auspices under
which it was adopted, and the possibilities

The Grant organ of this city will insist
that States rights, as understood by the
REPUBLICAN and protested by the Cincin-
natl platform, means State sovereignty.
In all kindness we will say again this is
not our understanding Of States rights;
nor do we believe Mr.. Greeley places any
such construction upon that portion of the
Cincinnati platform which treats of this
subject. Sovereignty, according to our
belief, can only be vested by the people
under their present federal constitution in
the national government. That is the
supreme government of this nation; and
as sovereignty is supreme, and there can
be but one supreme government in this
nation as at present constituted, as we be-
ieve and the people have determined, we
can't see why the Grant organ will con-
tinue to insist that the Liberal party and
the REPUBLICAN favor State sovereignty
But while We are opposed to State sover-
eighty, we want it distinctly understood
that we are in favor of States rights.

The little band Of Bourbon Democrats
who met in the Third District on Monday
night must have been highly entertained
by the polite oratory of Colonel Wagga-
man and Captain John Ellis.
Colonel Waggaman, in one of his grand
est flights, is reported to have made a
beautiful allusion 10 the record of Louisi-
ana on the battle-felds of the Confederacy,
and spoke of the singularity that she
should be the only one of the Southern
sisters which should be made the object
Of delusion through this Liberal party
and Henry G. Warmoth. Colonel Wag-
gaman continued: care we to fill our sails,
on our way to heaven, with the blasts
from hell?"
Captain Ellis followed in a similar
strain. In abiding to the August conven-
ton he said Warmoth had nicely packed
it, and that when he was nominated the
honest men would leave the Liberal party.
Those who do not leave, Captain Ellis
said, may be set down as thieves. This
is a way the Bourbon Democrats have of
classifying the people who differ from
them in politics. 1t is what DR.. Fenner
would style the Outlying" method of con-
Quoting a canvass. But the people can't
be bullied.

Govern Vance spoke at Ncwbern, the Rad

hit the ones that threw it. Whilst Cover

with long ears was led as near the stand as
the crowd would allow; and presently he be-
gan to send forth some alarming sounds,
