present drift and degraded moral status
of the Democratic party, lis utter destitu'
ton of true and exhalted patriotism, the
disgusting lowness and diabollsm OF its
arts OF management, than many OF its re-
cent utterances in respect to the Conicd-
crate South. its past. its present. and its
future. The New York World. the organ
of Gov. Tiden and Tammany Hall, the
leading Democratic newspaper OF the
country, clearly understands that with
in the Democratic organization are three
centres of political influence. around
which gather all the elements OF its
numbers and power. These are the
revived and reorganized political power
of the Confederate South the disciplined
force of Tammany Hall. and the strength
OF the elements which follow the lead of
the Ohio Democratic school of politics.
The first is much the strongest, and can
dictate its own terms with either of the
other centers of influence. Confident, as
in former days. of its ability to control a
nearly united South, it has most of the re-
liable stock-in-trade of the party, and is
resolved to bring the other factions to the
most humiliating concessions as to its past
political history, and to the purity and
lofty elevation of its heroes and statesmen,
living and dead. Trained courtiers in
partizan diplomacy, the Tammany leaders
understand clearly their necessities and on
what terms their alliance with the South
ern Democracy is to be secured.
Arecent opportunity has been improved
Tammany's organ--the World-to show
lust how low and servile it can become in
the hope of winning the appreciation and
alliance of the Confederate South. A
statue of Stonewall Jackson was the other
day unveiled in Richmond, and all the
rebel elements, preiudices, unnational
sentiments of the South were evoked. Its
prestige seriously weakened, and its can
didatc greatly damaged by the recent
elections, Tammany plunges headlong
among the rebel crowd and cxhausts its
rhetoric in glowing testimonials to the
Confederate General, who pcrished in do
ing his utmost to destroy the noblest fabric
of human government all the ages have
ever furnished. The following are some
of the nauseating utterances of this SER
vile eulogy of Treason's favoritc chief:
at will forever be held in remembrance, to the
honor of the whole American people, that when
the news Of the death of SToNEwALL JACKSON
went through the land, the bravest and most de-
termined opponents of the cause in which he fell
were foremost in doing justice to the exalted
purity and rare self-abnegation of his character"
The friends of the Union had "a manly sorrow
for the untimely end of Christian soldier in whom
the best and highest types Of the race from which
we spring had lived again, and commended them
selves anew to the homage of mankind"
ellis political faith was the groundwork of his
fame as q captain. He belongs, like GUsTAyUs
ADoLPHus, and IIAMPDEN and FALKLAND, to
that roll of honor, bright though brief, on which
are inscribed the names Of men who have taken
the sword and died by the sword, not for glory
for conquest, but for what they in thsir hearts be-
leved to be their highest duty as men," .
"When Virginia drew her sword and pat it into
SToNEwALL JAcKsoN's unstained hand" =
"Our civil war was fought over the interpreta-
ton Of written Constitution concerning the force
Of the text of which, concerning the force Of all
texts that ever were or ever will be written by the
hand Of man, it is not in the power of man to Sc
cure unanimity of opinion"
"Let Virginia and the South and the whole
country, take hope and heart The night has been
long, and dark, and dreary. But already the dawn
is at hand the prayer of SToNEwALL JACKSON
will be heard and answered; the American people
of 1876, by Gods blessing, will so order the polit
ical RECONSTRUCTION OF THEIR COUNTRY as
most assuredy to transmit to those that come after
us, all the freedom which we have enjoyed"
