WIS. ARMISTEAD,
4 THIRD PARTY.

A call has been made by William CuI-
len Bryant Theodore D. Woolsy, A. H.
Bullock, Horace White and Carl Schurz
for a conve ntion and conference of ali
such as consider both the Democratic
and the Radical parties irremediably cor
rupt, and who favor the organization Of
what might be called an anti-party party.
This certainly appears to all Democrats
as very unreasonable Glamour There
are, probably, corrupt men in the Demo
cratic party, and men who disregard the
very destruction Of the whole country if
they themselves are profted thereby.
But the fact is, that the truly Democratic
party, party of the people, protects,
and does not destroy, the people. 1t can
not impose on any country, or any part
of it, because Democracy means not only
rules or laws instituted by the people
themselves, but it means equality before
the law. Democracy does not consiss in
stubborn ignorance, nor a rude, sheep
ish partY-spirit, but it permits and Ie-
quires earnest thought, and decide d, pos
tive action on the part of every man
who has mind enough to think, and en-
ergy enough to act. And all who, from
selfish motives, or from unmanly ,nven-
tionality, would exclude or condemn &
man fo- an honest, open condemnation
Of all wrong or an approval of what s
right, are disgrace to the party, and
should bear the burden Of their own self
ishness and their dishonor; and when the
Democratic party proposes to
bear the misfortunes that should
fall on individual tricksters, and
when it turns out to be a champion
of ign ORANGE and corruption, shielding
and protecting such, as the Radical par
ty has done, then it may be classed with
said party and the two cast aside. Such
a division, under circumstances stated
would possibly be excusable; but in the
present case, at the present time, it does
seem unreasonable that the weakest
brother OF the Democracy, or even the
most extreme radical, should think a
third party necGs sary, or possible. If the
democratic party has ever conducted it

his pretended majority was 1G,846. of which
more than 10000 was fraudulent. The men
who perpetfated, permitted, or profited by that
gigantic robbery will not be forgotten as long
as they live by the people of the swindled
State. But Democracy loves the man behind
whom, as a decorous figure-head. this robbers
victory was gained it cares not how the tight was
won, but rejOices that victory gave power ana
plunder. Yet it will be said, He is nOmi-
"nated, not because Of these things, but
"because he is the most popular Democrat IN
" the State.u Very true but he is the most
popular Democrat because OF these things.
Because he was the friend of draft rioters in
1868, because he consented to bolster with his
name the demands of regulators, because with
the aid of his respectable character to dignity
the canvass, victory by shameless fraud was
possible, Democrats go wild with enthusiasm
over his name. He is the best representative
of the real spirit and tendencies of his party,
and for that very reason all that has been
most odious and dangerous in Democracy for
the past sixteen years is dragged to light by
his nomination.
AS usual, Democracy puts its worst foot for
ward and proves that it is still like some Ill
natured mule teams, good for nothing except
in backing. Whether he remains in the field
or not, Mr.. SeymOur's nomination helps To
reconcile the old Bourbon Democracy, and II
he stands to the end, his name will rally them
as no other can. But no other man would
pcll fewer Independent or Republican votes.
Mr.. Kelly blundercd out the truth; very few
Liberals are left within reach of any Demo-
cratic nomination. AS for those who have cast
their lot with the party of rcaction-the party
of draft riots, election frauds, and repudia-
tors-no one will grudge them the
kicking they received when the name
of hIr. Dorshiemer was greeted with
the cry, "Give US Democrat" Mr.. Dor
sheimer was not Democrat. He had never
felt that draft rioters were his friends. lie
had never loaned his name to those who pro-
posed to swindle bondhOlders. He had not
shared in the feeling of triumph when New
York was robbed of its electoral vote by the
frauds of 1868. Clearly he was not the sort
of man to be trusted by a Democratic con-
vention. Mr.. Seymour was. And, whenever
the Democrats are sure of success, they select
for important office only the men whose hearts
were not sore when draft riots threatened
dishonomble peace, or election frauds secured
victories for repudiat0rs

EVIDENCE TO CHARACTER.

There are gentlemen of large turn OF mind
who regard with profound contempt the small
indictments TO which our American candidates
are often called upon to plead. IL is thought
that such scandals take the dignity out of
politics; if SO, we do not see how that catas-
trophe, or the other one of the dignity taken
ont of the candidates, is to be averted. The
charges which have put Gov. Tildcn and his
friends upon tho defensive, where they will
probably stay for the rest of the canvass, are
not charges of murder, nor OF any other olense
made capital by law; but on the other hand
many unfortunate men who have made
imaginative and more than dubious depostions,
respecting revenue matters, have been sternly
dealt with by Government officers and
have even been sent to the penitentiary,
for the reason, maybe, that they were not
running for the Presidency. The evasion of
the income tax, if there was an evasion, kept
money IN the Governors pocket. If there were
false oatlls sworn, they had financial squint.
This was the characteristic OF the Congress
sonal corruptions which few years ago, in
the very thick of Presidential canvass were
uuearthed and coin colors many of the charges
made against the present Administration and
same of its supporters The people like to
have the public hands clean, be they the hands
of a Secretary of War or only of q candidate
These doubts of Gov. Tildel''s pecunary purity
come at very inopportune moment. peo-
PIE oppressed by taxes, at period of great
commercial depression, and anxious for an
entire reform in the financial management
of the Government, cannot help paying atten-
ton, when they are told that a distinguished
man who is named for the highest of public
offices. has in private life been guilty of de-
