TuRLED.

Ills week tne DeuOcTdIS lOIudily
furled their flag at Baltimore. The sur
render was most complete. No incident
was spared to render it exceedingly
humiliating. What are known as Demo
cratic doctrines are swept out as SO many
antiquated cobwebs. States rights, free
trade, slavery, hostility to universal
suffrage, are confessed to be heresies fit
only to be burned on the public common.
And to cap the climax, these Democrats
turn their backs on all their leaders and
openly 60 down on their knees before
two men whose only record is their ha-
tired of everything like Democracy, and
their unrecanted devotion to extreme
Radical ideas.
The only ground on which the De-
mocrats and their Republican leaders
have agreed to unite is opposition to
President Grants reelection. But the
price asked for such compact is so
great that it will not be paid at the polls.
We know there is very general lossen-
ing of party ties, but this relates to men,
not to measures. 1t is very different
thing when independent citizens refuse
to support bad nominations, and the
same citizens formally consent to abandon
lifelong convictions. The latter is the
exact position of the Democratic leaders
now. 1t is az example wholly without
parallel 1t is a coalition in which the
party Of the first part gives up every
thing for nothing. Mr.. Greeley, if eec-
ted President, will be as free to turn up
on the Democrats who vote for him as
he has been consistent in opposing all
their ideas.
OF course, the Democrats expect to
make money by tie bargain-to get
ofice-to WELD power in the States and
in the nation but there are cool heads
among them who have not read history
in vain. They can easily recall how
Tyler and Fillmore betrayed the Wings
how Andrew johnson sold out the
Republicans; and they have no ieason
to suppose that Horace Greeley, who
denounced all these treacheries, will
render himself infamous by deliberately
sacrificing political ideas and conviction;
which have been the essential religion
of his existence, for which he has suffer
ed inconceivable contumely, and BY
fidelity to which he has grown to fame
and fortune.
In one sense, this wholesale surrende
Of the Democrats is capital thing. l
destroys them as party; it dissolve
their cohesiveness it makes them, il
fact, the rivals of the great organization
which broke down slavery, carried eman
cipation and suffrage, and crushed tn
rebellion.
Grant, as between the two Republica
candidates, is ours. He is the type an
, symbol of the nationality just endose
at Baltimore. He is fortunate in hi
rival; for, of all the harsh things spok
en- against Grant, he needs only to ca
Horace Greeley to the forum as HI
orator.
And so, when the Democrats CAREFUL
furled their flag at Baltimore, they ;
carefully unfured the Union flag wit
Grant as the standard-bearer.- Forney

Mr.. Crsnmer did not stop his inquiries
into the Atkinson horror until yesterday,
when he finally succssded in tracing up
every thread Of necessary evidence and
proof to establish q certainty with regard
to his taking OF. In our former account,
in which the curious and exciting story

not much mind what sort of S pistol he
Only II would shoot. He was par
ticulsr on this point. Having made
the trade, he left. Now, Mr.. Gran
msr has satisfied himself that the pistol
which was found with Atkinson, down
near Horn Lake, was the same as that
loaded for him in Felmont's shop because
it corresponds with the only other pistol
Of the sort that Felmont ever had. He
