JEFFERSON DAVIS AND THE
DEMOCRACY.

nemrnI~ Ledger.
a few of the extreme Radical sheets
Of the country, such as TIE Washington
, Chronicle for instance, have discovered
| a high regard for JEFF rs7u Davis. They
| applaud his executive capacity, hrs IN
/ tegrity and honesty, and even 90 so far
as to suggest him as a suitable Demo-
cratic candidate for the Presidency.
Some Of this kindness would have been
equally as grateful when the eX-Presi-
dent Of the Conf deracy chafed under
manacles 1T Fortress Monroe to await a
trial for his life. The object OF thus
bringing him before the country is plain
enough. The name Of jeff. Davis, it is
thought, can be used to STIR up anI
yitalIze the feelIngOt war prejudice and
sectional hate which has kept the Re
publican party IN power these fifteen
years. 1t IS well known that Mr..
Davis has had and desired no cOnnec-
ton whatever with politics since the
war and has maintained a dignifed
silence which should be a rebUke 70 all
his calumniatOrs, and VIII cause his
name to 90 down in history
as q man of heroic qualities under any
and all circumstances; great in the
field, the cabinet, the executive chair.
IN a prison cell, and in the utmost Sc
clusIOn Of private life. Nothing but n
spirit Of cunning malice could have m
spIrgu tins new crusade which is made
to drag him forth from the quietude Of
home and friends in his declining years,
that through the use Of his name the
bitter feeling Of former years might be
revived. This attempt to couple
his name with the Democratic
party and to keep up the cry Of ''rcb-
els" viii not deceive the intelligent
masses at the North. The device is too
apparent 10 mislead even the most pre-
judiccd The Civil Rights bill as a
party measure is stI.l-bOrn, and has ut
terly failel to stir up the strife that
was desir.i, and its friends, IN casting
about for some other card, happily fell
upon Jefferson Davis, and are about u
make hin. nOlens vOlens a Democratic
candidate for the Presidency. lt is
not probable that the Democrats viii
need much assistance from that quar-
ter IN mapping out the campaign of
1876. 1t no mistakes are committed
they viii be able to take care Of them
selves by that time, as we'll as to look
INTO the rorruptiOns and excesses Of
the Radical party. And when the
Democrats come into power they will
bring to boar some Of that sterling
honesty AID ability now 50 graeiOUsly
conceded to Mr.. Davis by his enc
mics.

COMMISSION MERCHaNT..

all really great questions are regarded as
weak compromises or fiat failures. The
session seems to have demonstrated one
thing, however: thai it is not now nor will
it be in the future, possible to disgrace the
fair name Of the State by the smirch of
public dishonesty. / am Of opinion that
population viii never a-ain be as near
possible Cf accomplishment rs 90 was siN

acter has set iE; and those gentlemen who
advocated reputation, covert or direct, Will

on their stewardship two years hence.
