POLITICAL NOTES.

GB The Democracy processes peculiar
friendship for the farmers. 1t is but a
few years since prominent Democrats
were denouncing Northern farmers as
"mudsills. ."-CoIumbuS Ohio Journal.
UY-The Liberal Republicans afford a
curious instance of a party living every
where throughout the country on the
strength they are supposed to have some
where else.-N Y. Nation.
GY@As final answer to the Demo
cratic resolutions, the farmers will re-
member that a Republican Senate has
appointed committee to gather all avail
able knowledge on the subject. While
the Democrats are making vague prom
ises, this committee, having on il such
Republicans as Senators Conkling and
Window, is hard at work, and will be
ready in December to give the farmers a
mass of information concerning the trans
portation question which will be invalu-
able in helping. them out of their trou-
bles.-Ne,o YORK. Times.
G8@A majority of the Republicans in
Congress voted against the salary steal,
while large majority of the Democrats
voted for it. When the last vote had been
called in the House, the bill was defeated,
but before it was announced, five mem
bers jumped to their feet to change their
votes -Four of these were Democrats.
OF those who refused the back-pay, four
tifths are Republicans, and one-fifth Dem
ocrats. We do not think it would be
prudent to depend upon the Democratic
party for reform. .-Ctncjandti Gazette
Y7I'he Democratic platform of Ohio
| says that "the Democratic party insists
upon equal and exact justice to all men,"
while the Democratic leaders of Virginia
cry for "a white mans government"
The nominee ft r Governor in Ohio was
an anti-war Coppcrhead of the vilest
| stamp, while the nominee in Virginia led
the Contederates In person in the field,
Twist it or turn it as you may, it is the
| same old prayer of disunion arrayed
against progress and republicanism. -
| Washington Chr0nicle.
CTY- The following, taken from speech
| delivered by Mr.. Allen, of Ohio, in Sep
| tember, 1868, shows the valiant "fire in
the rear" delivered against our ooldiers by
the present Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor of Ohio: "We put down South Car
olina nullitication, and how? BY calling
| out $4,000 men? No! BY nl,irderinQ
100000 or 100000 menl By making II
million and a half of orphans in this
country! That's not the work that Dem
ocrats have done. These bloody scenes
were reserved for the Abolitionists to pro-
duce."
sEy" To those who know the facts in the
| case, it is amusing to see the Anti-Mo-
nopoly Convention of last week referred
to in Eastern papers as the "Iowa Farm
er's Convention" There has scarcely
ever been Il State Convention with which
the farmers of the State had so little to do
The convention was called by Polk
',N11r nIrf
| of the counties were even nominally rep
resented in the Convention. 1t was
manipulated and controlled, its nomina
tions dictated, and its platform drawn by
professional politicians. To call it an
Iowa farmers Convention" is not only
false, but libelous.-Dubuque (Ioloa) Times
s5Y9 This is a bad year for new parties
Nobody but the oflice-seckers will take
any stock in them. The whole country
feels that the Republican party is suflic
lent. 1t is not afraid of investigation. L
probes corruptIons. 1t eXpels detaulters
1t Furnishes knaves and thieves. 1t i.
sensitive to every public want. 1t keeps
step to the march of progress, and walk:
under the banner of reform. There is NJ
other party in the country that has {
particle of vitality in its veins, and thil
great party is not likely to commit sui
eide at the behest of demagogues. 1t viii
live and thrive and bless the land through
the whole of the next generation.-MiR
neapolis (Htan.) Tribune.
"a" The Boston (Mass) AdU67tiser say
of Democracy: "1he work of the part,
is all done. There is left for it only gar
rulous, dismal, and spiteful decline Il
dust and monuments. The nation bear
its seedlings, but heeds not the timorou
warnings of dotage. The country ha
taken a new departure and left the Demo
cratic party cropping on in the footsteps 0
Pierce and Buchanan, Whether it gOe
forward in its path, or stands in its track
irresolute, or attempts to follow after
ayails nothing. 1t can never again get +
, the front. The people will see to tha
They have no confidence in it, and vii
take good care that it never gets positio
: of leadership"
E3y- 1t is apparent that the danger {
, C9sarism is not confined to the Conserve
tive and Democratic patriots. That stel
ling old battle-stained pirate, eX-Confet
crate Admiral Semmes, who has give
evidence of his love for the country, an
} his high-toned honor, by deserting til
= flag under which he had been educated
and which he had sworn to defend in tn
g time of danger and peril, left his laboriou
more to tell the Southern Historical Soc
ETY. how his suffering heart bled for fea
I the country Of his choice should be attlic
. ed with C@sarism. TO hear him warn tn
. country of the danger of the continue
. control of this government by the ma
y who led the armies of the Republic
! victory, and drove traitors and pirates [
disgrace and shame, is refreshing - Vas
GRgt0n ChrOnicle.
Ga3 The Albany IN. " Egening jon
> nal says Of the Democratic party: II
d old hatred of the negro looms up on al
0 fitting and uniting occasions, in Demt
h cratic conventions and in the Democrat
press as well as in midnight Ku-Klu
p cOnclaves. The virus of negrophobia
i still cOursing through the veins of tn
v Democratic party, and with its restoratiO
! to power would find such emphatic e,
h preston as would speedily indicate til
:. old animosity and the old desire for ne
recognition of the legal supremacy of I'll
white over the colored race, and new +
y assertion of the old Democratic concessio
!, that slavery was divine institution
9 too sacred to be imperiled by agitation
: and too holy to be disturbed in its repo'
y by the sacriligeous aggressions of fanat
/ cism. If the Democratic party of to'da
has no other vitality than what it d
/ rives from its identity with the prime
y pies more recently embodied in the Co
IS stitution under the patriotic impulse Of
l. regenerated public sentiment, it is dea
r already, and needs only the services
s the political undertaken to give it sepu
ture in the tomb of oblivion"
