A NAME DEMOCRAT AGAIN.

To the Editor Ofhs National Republican:
SIR II is annteresting fact, and startling
to one who has not thoughtfully considered
the subject, thatiH the last SiIty years Zee D1i-
Ocrdtic party has $ccceGed isI eIectiRq EH t1gO
pronti.e5 pOi;tieiass 10 the Presidency, the Wig
party none, tie RfpJlcdR party nOHe. Prior
to those sixty years is fair to suppose that
gratitude for services in achieving the inde-
pendence of the county and in the formation
Of the Government in e-ery case dictated the
selection. There were parties, hut the eAndi-
dates were invariably selected by both parties
from among those eminent in the struggle for
| independence and subsequeT'' V' Hei efsN-a
So it NAV fairly be --iu THAT Out Two pro
ro..io,,oI ,,oliti.ans have been elected Presi-
-, whiL1 every one of the last fourteen
Presidential contests is filled up with the
wrecks Of hundred such 'leaders.'
Let US look at the fourteen periods. In the
first and second John Q. Adams, Fcderalist,
was President. In the third and fourth,
Andrew jackson was President. In the fifth,
Martin Van Buren, prominent politician, was
President, succeeded in the sixth by VIM. H.
Harrison, Wig. In the seventh, James X.
Polk was President. In the eighth, Zachariah
Pierce was President. In the tenth, James
Buchanan, prominent politician, was elected,
and was succeeded in the eleventh and twelfth
by Abraham Lincoln, Republican. In the thir-
teenth and fourteenth L. s. Grant was and is
President.
Thus far only twice cut of fourteen times
have 'leaders" of the Democracy been sue
cessful in securing elections, and on 6oM occE-
SiO'iS they held for but one term, and tcere
ceeded By tie opposition candidates.
OF the eleven men who were elected TO Office
during that period four were military men,
of whom two had two terms awarded them,
the other two dying during their first term;
two were politicians who LET the party in the
condition described above; One-Mr. Adams
may be said to have Inherited the office: and
Messrs. Polk, Pierce and Lincoln were what
may well be called quiet country gentlemen,
who took little part in party politics, and had
small standing among the politicians of the
country. It is noticeable that two of them
were succeeded by the candidates Of their own
party, and probably nothing but the over
powering personal influence Of General Taylor
prevented President Polk from enjoying the
same happy distinction.
There seems to be a lesson here for the
Democratic party. Whether its next candi-
date shall come from a country village in
Maine, as hope he may, or from any other
portion Of the country-Whether he shall be
the Hon. James c. Madigan or any other like
gentleman-the party will probably find safety
only in keeping clear Of those leaders whom
the party machinery is being used to force
upon them.
A MAINE DEMOCRAT.

HoRDHoFF's PILGRIMAGE.

The New York Herald rejoices in repre-
sentative who has been making a pilgrimage
South since the adjournment of Congress, for
the purpose Of giving currency to a string of
those misrepresentation which were palmed
off upon the credulous here last winter, re-
garding the affairs OF Arkansas and Louisiana
1t was shrewdly supposed that a confiding
public would unhesitatingly believe the report
of a Herald commissioner writing from the
disturbed localities, under the impression that
he spoke from personal observation. But so
far as we have been able to examine his MARIA
tions, the letters of Nordhof might just as well
have been written in. this city from the dicta-
ton Of the White League representatives ofthe
Garland and McEnery dynasties of the States
in question last spring, as to have been jotted
down at Little Rock and New Orleans. The
pretended facts which they record were ban
National Republican., 1875-06-09

A RESOLUTION to the effect that neither
State or the Federal Government has the con-
sti.utiOnal right to dissolve the | niOE, was re-
iccted in the Missouri constitutional cOnVen-
ton last week by vote Of IS to ga decided
vote affirming the right of State to secede.
This has bad look when q bloody war of
four wears was carried on TO disprove that
proposition Washington Ece'tiTg Star.
Our cotemporary might have added that
every one of the Southern. States will follow
the example of Arkansas, as Missouri is
doing, as soon as the Democrats obtain con-
troll. But in the face of this alarming fact, in
dicating as it does design to form the ba-
sis for another attempt to destroy the
Union. there are men who assume TO be
Republicans and to love the Union who
declare the political condition of the South
to be encouraging. Vice President Wilson,
for example, visited Missouri in his late
strawberry and ice-cream trip, and, with
all his veneration for the costly and sacred
results Of the war, failed to discover what
was directly under his very venerable
nose-a deep-seated and covertlY treason
able design to destroy those results. The
warning voice of experience should teach
any sensible man that the reasonable
plottings of 1SGO-61 by the Democratic
Southern leaders have been renewed.
Imagine the result, in view of this fact, ot
the election of State rights believing
Democrat to be President in 1876

The RESPONSIBILITY FOR AN INDIAN
WAP

ApprehensiOns of a war with the Sioux
tribes ofthe Black Hills region may or may
not be well founded; but if war does ensue,
fair minded people will acquit the Admins
tration of all responsibility for it. As a
matter of course, the Opposition will deny
this proposition; but the facts will not sus-
tain such denial. 1t is generally admitted
that if gold exists sufficiently rich to en-.
courage investment of capital in Black
Hills mining enterprises, the Indians should
not be allowed to prevent the investment;
but whether it exists or not, the cupidty of
thousands of adventures has been aroused,
and they will attempt to evade the United
States troops for the purpose of invading
the mysterious regions and settling the
question to their own satisfaction. ''See-
ing is believing is an old saying which
serves to illustrate the spirit which prompts
these adventures, and it may be safely as
sumed that they will not believe until they
see. This was the situation when the re-
Gently departed delegation Of Sioux chief
tains arrived in Washington. The object
Of their visit, as all the world knows, was
to talk with the Great Father, and provide,
if possible, against the unfortunate results
which threaten to follow the excitement
which has arisen regarding this matter.
The President was therefore compelled to
act without delay, and did so at great per-
sonaI inconvenience, which prevented him
from attending General Sheridan's we'd
ding and postponed his departure for
Long Branch. But if he had failed
to act, the Opposition would have
assaiIed him just the same as they are
doing now. They would have charged
that the interests of that ubiquitous but
rather intangible myth, the Indian ring,
could only be served by a neglect on the
mart of the Government to attempt to open
up the coveted section for settlement.

From tie Oakland (Cal } TrIbu

From TIE Oakland (Cal) Tribune
There was q marked difference between the
receptions rendered Senators Sargent and
Booth in San Francisco. Both were really in
tended to develop the strength Of their respec-
tive parties, as well as give popular indorSe-
ment to the official action of the men. Sar-
gents welcome was q grand outpouring Of the
people, perfect ovation. The whole space
on Bush street between Montgomery and San
some was one dense, suffocating mass of
humanity. Booth came quietly like thief at
night, unhonored, unnoticed. The "serenade'
by his friends, at which, it was announced, he
was to map out the course of his great Inde-
pendent party, attracted but beggarly crowd,
which might easily, so far as numbers was con-
cerned, have been corralled in one Of the
Palace Hotel parlors. II is doubtful if even
the sugar monopolists, in whose service the
doughty Senator hurried on to Washington,
and in whose behalf he made his maiden
speech in the Senate, condescended to compli-
ment their tool by putting in an appearance
at his reception. But if there was a
contrast in the magnitude and cor
diRlity of the receptions accorded the
Senators, there was a still greater difference
in their utterances. Sargent pointed to long
unblemished career in the public service,
marked by innumerable legislative measures
in behalf OF the prosperity OF san FRANCISCO
and the best interests Of the State generally.
He demonstrated that he fully realized the
nature and responsibility of the high position
in which he has been placed. And he boldly
announced that the matters affecting the pub
lie interests he should endeayor to build up
and not tear down. Booth, alas. had no record
worth mentioning. He said nothing of his be-
trayal Of the party while Governor, or of his
course since he became Senator. His great
effort TO defe.t to Sandwich Island treaty, and
his vote upon the Louisiana question were not
even referred to. But he did avow a deter
mination to tear down and injure interests
which lie at the very foundation of the States
prosperity. The only effect Booth corporation
raid viii have upon the people Will be to more
thoroughly convince them Of his utter unfit
ness to wear the Senatorial toga. This con-
trast might he considerably extended, and per-
haps more marked, where the private lives of
the two Senators are presented, but for all
practical purposes the public records will
suffice.

The New York World is unfair enough
10 misrepresent the explanations Of this
Journal regarding the bogus interviews
with the President printed by its cotem-
porary the Herald The World says it
'takes two to make an interview" Cor
rect apd this is simply what we have
stated; but the Herald has improved on
this rule by publishing Interviews with
which only one person, the interviewer,
had anything to do. We repeat, the Pres
ident has steadfastly declined, with one ex-
ception, when his confidence was betrayed
by former friend, to receive any repre-
sentative Of the Herald in Washington or
elsewhere AS result of this, the inter
views with him, published in the Herald,
have for more than two years been based
solely upon the Imagination OF unprinci-
plcd scribblers. After the betrayal of
confidence referred to, the person who was
guilty of it sought another audience with
the President, explaining that the publi-
cation of the details of his former CONVEX
sation with him were printed without his

company, to the extent Of causing tbem to
be expelled from his presence, and on two
occasions of having them elected from
special railroad trains on which he was
travelling. This explanation will, we are

of the motives which govern the Herald
