A Tidal Wave" Of Democratic principle.

A Tidal Wave" Of Democratic principle.
In political controversy with auoth-

lister TO Liberia was seriously stabbed

Oct. 22d 1872.
True to the life, "murder will out,
there is no use of talking; the Demo
tcratic party, and their allies the Lib.
Reps hate, and love to hate negroes.
True it is, that this strange alliance
does now affect to have great interest in
the welfare of the negro race in the
United States but it is as cleat as sun
shine that this great interest lies in the
fact that the former slave, now wields
the power of the ballot, and may to day
vote for or against his enemy and hater
as he may see fit withaut let or hinder
ence. But for this right he owes moth
ing to the Democratic party.
In Congress, out of Congress, in Coun-
ty, district, State and national canvesses
Democratic organs and leaders opposed
this right to the negro, adhering tena-
ciously to their old doctrine that in this
country, this land of freedom "the negro
has no right that white man is bound
to respect; so the party once from a
high place officially announced, aud s c
many of its leaders to day believe, The
amendments to our national constitution
securing to the negro, these rigets are
pronounced, unconstitutional, insurrec-
ticnary. and revolutionary" Leading
spirits and teachers in their political Is
rael, still pronounce these amendments
"patchcs and frauds" The sentiment
expressed by the Niyord Her0fd arr
as wicked as they are unjust, and nigh
perhaps find their counterpart III thu
Fiji Islands, or among the more Savage
Tribes of our Indian population. Wha
kind OF a heart must man have with
him that can utter approval OF murde
and the execution of the murderer, a
that 1.-THE world will be happily rid
two niggers."
, We can scarcely conceive of Oh
less qualified for the high behests

E utteauce TO the sentiment expressed l
t the above paragraph. "Tac NVo'

Horace Greeley in 1871.

Mr.. Greelsy's record has made
him any amount of trouble. but
now a reference to the files of the
Tribnne bring to light something
so spacific and applicable to the
position now occupied by Mr..
Greeley that no explanation can
break its force. The tribune Of
August 18th, 1871, says:
The personal views Of Mr..
Greeley are exactly these. He
fayors the one term principle, and
believes that another Republican
candidate can be selected who will
encounter less opposition and win
more support than General Grant;
and he therefore advocates such
selection; but should his views be
over-ruled, and General Grant
be nominated, he holds his elec-
tion Intimately preferable to any
candidate whom the Dem ocrats
may nominate; for a Democratic
triumph involves the return to
power of the great mass Of those
who for years plotted the disrup-
tion Of our Union, and at length
forced the Southern States into
secession and rebellion.
A Democratic trium ph involves
the ascendency Of those who hate
the nations creditors, because
their money powers fully con-
tributed to the overthrow Of the
rebellion, and will find a way to
cheat them, il possible. A Demo
cratic Triumph involves the sub
version of protection to home in
dustry, with repetition of the
wide spread disasters and distress
which have repeatedly and natur-
ally followed such overthrow. The
''personal views Of Mr.. Greeley"
led him to deprecate Democratic
national triumph, as one of the
gravest national calalnities.'

Hon. B. +. Parks, in his speech

against Grant by the more un-

AS an instance Of the manner in

The Atlantic On Grant.

tFiEsaeA-
The Atlantic Mon,hly's politics
has, heretofore, been otherwise
than favorably emphatic or cordial
in regard to the present adminis-
tration of the national affairs. Now
even it's depreciating criticism has
been affected by the crisis brought
upon the country by the coalition
In the October number it's luke
warmness gets q little heated, and
it's indifference undergoes q con-
version to quite positive statements.
Greeley or the Democratic party
it can not believe in as trustworthy,
and therefore gives in its allegi-
ance to the Philadelphia nomina
ton in terms sufficiently cool and
unenthusiastic to suit that inter
esting class Of fastidious citizens
wno are anxious to know on which
N go -A:f8l
side it is safest to vote on the
whole, neither candidate being al
tog ether perfect in their sight.
Here is the Atlantic's, moderate
summing up after its balancing
comparison: assg ae
"With President Grant, the
country has at least an assurance
of tranquility. 1t willn not be lifted
to state Of perfection, but it will
incur no new peril. The admins
tration. of Grant will make no rash
experiments on our finances and
our dangerously expanded cur
rency. The public credit will be
safe. The country will have seen
rity from foreign wars, flibuster-
ing attempts, and domestic yio-
lence. The constitutional Office OF
the President will remain intact,
TO be used to protect the public
credit and Treasury from hostile
Legislation and the boundless
Southern claims growing out of
the war. Reconciliation will be
established on the only possible
terms, submission to equal lave.
There will be that public conf
dcnce which is requisite to the ex
panded trade AMI credit OF civili-
cation, and which is a vital need in
our financial currency and banking
situation; aud the country will
have as much currency reform,
tariff reform, and civil service re
form as Congress and popular
opinion will support"

the latter part of it, which will well
repay the reader for the persual.
We are told by our adversaries,
that thereis but little difference be
tween the the principles adyocated
by the contending parties. This may
be the spparant aspect. but there
is an undercurrent of great and
important issues tissues affecting
the whole country. 1t is the old
fight over again between Republi-
canism and Democracy,-between
right and wrong. The Republican
llosts have rallied under the same
old flag that waived over them
when they proclaimed liberty
throughout all the land, and to the
inhabitants thereof" while the De-
mocratic legions have unfurled
new colors. changed their base,
and have tempted 'sleader out of
Israeli to rule over them, aud al
though they have now and then
added to their ranks, a deserter
from the Union lines, it is still the
rank and file Of the old Democratic
party that We are to conquer. not.

confessed their iniquity, and the

they have experienced a ''change

For this the Republican party
should congratulate itself, for i
has long reasoned Of righteous

been truly wrought, great work
has been accomplished, and the
Republican party has gone long
