Our Best Men for Omce.


To destroy the Repub lican party
because few dishonest men have crept
into Office through its power, would be
as wise as the killing of healthy indi,
vidual because few hollis trouble hin.
The party never was. more healthy than
at present. The few officials that are
proven dishonest are, to the great body,
polite, what the spots or The sun are to

part itself. Every Republicnn conven-
,ion which has met thus far has placed
itself on record as being determin ID to
drive men from Office who fail to prac-
tice economy and honesty in their public
duties. We shall never free ourselves
entirely from tho Influence of bad men
Thoy will creepjnto power in spite of
TIE greatest care and watchfulness We
can. however, throw an increased pro-
Section around the public service by
more thorough examination Of the char
teter of the men, who present themselves
Tor our support. A good citizen will
generally make good official. THIS is
simple rule which, if pruetice1 in the
selection of candidates, will greatly pro-
tect the public interests. Inquire into
the private character Of the man who
wants your vote, and ifyou find him
honest, industrious, charitabl,, good
neighbor, and public spirited citizen,
you can safly give him your vote aud
support You may run the risk, oyeu
then, of bein- cheated; but the chances
will lie SO small that you can we'll afford
the risk. But to expect to secure an
honest official. in the man who mover
pays his debts, who takes advantage of
his neighbor, whose character is statue |
by intemperanco or profanity, is to
expsct clear balance sheet in the
other world without paying your printer s
bill in this Nominate your best men
for office and the risk of finding dis
honesty in high places will be exceeding

The True Distinction.

Who would think of conasmuing a
worthy merchant because he discovered
in his employ dishonest clerk !? Sympa-
thy, rather than blame, would be OK,
tended to him, and every fair minded
man would approve the prompt dismis-
sal, and, if the law was Violated the
speedy punishment of Tho offender. Why,
then, should our opponents deno unee
the Republican party because it dis
covers among its thousands of officials a
few exceptional cases of dishonesty !?
The party rcpudiates tho acts of dis
honesty, aud the people put their stamp
of condemnation, not only upon the
offence, but upon tho offender. No act
of dishonesty, or official guilty of crime !;
no questionable or iniquitous measures
have ever been condoned or protected by
the Republican party. AS soon as
known, an earnest protest has gene up
against them, and those involved hase
been called to a strict account This IL

liable to bo deceived. A party can rise

cling in NEST Of the States Their plat
form 3 is labeled 'Democratic,' though in
all, or nearly all essentials it is little
else than. phraphrase of the Republi-
can party platform of the past few years
As acmeasuro of policy no objection can
be made; but to deliberately smash one
partisan creed, fitch new one from
ones enemy, and then insist that, be-
cause bearing the old name it is still the
same old creed, is to speak mildly, ar
rant hypocrisy. The doctrine held by "A.
n. Stephens, by Robert Toombs, by
Jefferson Davis, euuucinted in the DEM
ecratic platforms of 1864 and 1868, by
Blanton Duncan's Bourbon Convention
which nominated Charles O'Conor for
President last year, is the ancient Dem
ocratic iaith.' 1t is the simon pure ar
ticle. AL other brands are spurious :;
yet not a Democratic Convention,
North or South, now ventures to incor-
porate it in platform. 1.-THE old par
tsan creed-as is the fact--has been
utterly abandoned; if to maintain a
struggle for mere existence it has be-
come necessary--as is tho fact-to
adopt, to SO great an extent, the Repub-
licau party platform, why cling to the
old Democratic name, especially since
that name has become 50 unpopular as
to bring defeat to any organisation that
bears ita This is answered by few
heroics over tho past career of the old
party. But of what avail (? They can
not change minoritiea TO majorities.
Public confidence in a political party
ouce lost can never be restored 4
The Pittsburg Post (DsH) publish

opinion from the above eztract. 1t
says: ta

A Difference Of Opinion.

There is slight difference OF opinion
between Democrats, North and South.
The hard-shells of the South insist on
keeping Democracy on the old Calhoun
platform, while their brethren of tho
North as strongly insist on tearing up
the old planks and replacing them with
timber stolen from the Republican
reservations. To gain a new lease OF
power Northern Democrats are willing
to make any sacrifice. To support the
family pride, and keep up the pet theory
OF "a white mau's government" South
ern Democrats refuse to yield their old
pro-slayery principles. The Southern
sentiment is honestly stated in the fol-
lowing extract from the Memphis
AvGlanche, (DenI.): -
