CURRENT COMMENT.


From tho Nc,p FORK HIord.
We perceive with profound chagrin and regret
Ehat half-a-dozen so-oallod Democratic Senators
are lending their votes to the knavos, tho reck-
less doma goguos, and tho ignorant blundorera
who aro uniting to wrook tho property, paralyzo
sho industries, and plumber the farmers and Ia
iboring-clasaes Of the land. Their orme is
greater II their responsibility be less than that
of any Republican Senator who votes
1for imitation and agaiuBt overy measure
for returning to specie payments. Their vote
stabs the prosperity Of tho country, and stabs
II thro ugh the traditions, the principles and the
platforms Of tho Democracy. II they call them
golves Democrats they deny themselves tho poor
exouao OF ignorance. They aro demagoguea
who give poison to their 1lninBtructed partaans,
lest refusal cost them their places The same
scurvy cowar1s who thus abandon tho first duty
Of leaderB and tho dearest principles Of Democ-
tacy can doubtlosa be trusted to follow their Re-
publican guides hoadlong down every succeeding
inch Of the road to rerudiation. The ruin Of
the party which is now inscrlblng thg tirst lot
pleto, but not more complete than the ruin Of
tho so-caled Democrats WHO first botray their
party In order to botray their country. Neither
any pains to bring to pass the sure fate of thesc
rocreants, or Of their Republican guides. Tho
ruin they aro to-day preparing for the peace and
tho prosperity OF tho country in al ita farms and
shops, and homes will beaBeribe1 to ite nuthora.
That is a but that is enough.
