Lastly comes Warmoth,
with a large gang of negro sup
porters, marshaled by Pinch
back, and a respectable lin num-
bers) battalion Of carpet bag
gers, mostly convicted default
ers, perjurers, and lobby venal-
lists and ringleaders, and hold
ers of monopolies, and fraudu-
lent bondholders, and special
charterers. Mammoth calculates
upon being the second choice of
the Andersonites, save the Gus
tomhouse, the Ludelingites, and
has little fear of Williamson,
believing that the negroes and
the straightout Radicals will
never accept Williamson nor
take their candidate from KEEL
logg. Hence, with characteris-
tic ''cheek," he is the most conf
dent and sanguine of all the can
didates, and is only troubled by
the sturdy opposition of Pack
ard and Grant, his old and in
satiate enemies. Packard swears
Warmoth will be the weakest
candidate who could be present
ed to the people of the State,
and INDUCES gloomy forebod-
ings of the emergencies of such
a nomination, and of the need OF
large military appliances, and
the multiplication of blank war
rants to secure a full and peace
full vote.-[N. o. Democrat.

New York World. 9th: The

New York World, 9th: The
feeling is, that whatsoever ras-
calities have been committed,
have been allin the family, and
that the criticism of Confede-
rates is an outrage. Many good
people in the North would rath-
er that a Republican should con-
tinue to steal to the consumma-
ton OF time, than have a man
who was in the rebel army find
him out. In his enmity to the
South, his evil record, and his
unclean character, Mr.. Blaine is
therefore a model Republican,
and, as such, should be chosen
to fight the last desperate battle
OF the party.

The Evansville Journal (Rad
ical goes back on Ortiz the Rad
ical gubernatorial candidate of
Indiana, in the following style:
eff M. Orth cannot make a
better explanation of his connec-
ton with his disreputable and
mercenary transaction, he is not
the man to represent the Repub-
licans of Indiana as the head of
their State ticket. The Journal
will not wink at transactions of
this character while denouncing
the operations of the Democratic
Supreme Court. It is high time
that it be understood that men
who enter political life for the
money there is in it, are I'M
worthy the confidence of the
people. AS we remarked in
the outset, Mr.. Orth must furnish
more satisfactory explanation
of his connection with this trans
action or his vote will fall awful
ly short in Southern Indiana. !"

Several days remain before the
Convention meets, and in this thun-
der and lightning weather we do
not know what reputation may be
struck. 1t was only yesterday and
we saw the army of Blaine marching
with massed and swelling columns
to Cincinnati. Now his banner is
in the dust. No man can say what
a day may bring forth. But as the
field now looks Conkling leads the
column, with Washburne gaining
on him and the colors of BristOw
stealing slowly to the front. 1t
may be, after all, that victory is
declaring for the Great Unknown,
whose mystery is still unbroken.-

SUSPENSION OF THE New Or
LEANS DEMoCRAT.-In sorrow we
write it; and bow our head in
shame, that the great Democrat
ic-Conservative party of Louisi-
ana cannot, or WILL NOT, sustain
a true, manly, outspoken organ
such as the democrat "-in
the chief city of our State, whose
pulsation is felt to every extrem-
ity Of the body polite. We, in
our humble way, have been do
ing what we could to advance
the cause that is very dear to
our heart, but failure in our peo-
pie to sustain a paper such as
the Democrat" with it's wide
field for usefulness, is, to say the
least, very discouraging, and
looks very much as though but
very little longer time will be
required for Radicalism to freeze
out the Democratic press of
Louisiana entirely.

Nine cadet midshipmen have
been required to resign or suffer
expulsion from the Naval Academy
at Annapolis, for theft. This comes
of the sale of cadetships by Con-
gressmen. Give us a Congress of

try to make nothing out of their
positions beyond the salary allowed
them, and civil service reform and
the restoration of q higher moral
tone in our political life will natur-
ally follow.-[Kansas City Times.

down the number of houses de-

The attempt of Mr.. Blaine to rouse
party feeling in his favor by as
cribing these Investigations to dem
ocratic hostility growing out of his
speech on the amnesty question
is artful but sophistical. 1t is an
conflict with facts and with his own
statements in the personal explana-
ton he made in the House on the
24tn Of April, when he assigned a
republican origin to the assaults on
his character. He then said:-
"Emissaries of SANDER have visited
the editorial rooms ofleading repnb-
lican newspapers from Boston to
Omaha, and whispered of revela-
tiOns to come that were too terrible
even to be spoken Of in loud tones.n
Most certainly it was not democrats
that went to republican papers with
these damaging stories about Mr..
Blaine. The meeting of editors in
Cincinnati, several months ago, to
consult about these stories, was a
meeting of republican editors. Mr..
Harrison, who was the author OF
the first report, is republican, who
derived his impressions from Mr..
Rollins, another republican. Mr..
Atkins, who published, a week or
two since private letter of Mr..
Blaine, relating to railroad trans
action, is republican, and Multi
gan. who brought these letters to
Washington of which Mr.. Blaine
got possession by FORGETTING his
word. is also republican. In the
face of these notorious facts it will
not strengthen public confidence in
Mt. Blaine's fairness and sincerity
to see him ascribe these assaults on
his character to democratic malice
His own letters, which have pu,
him on the defensive, are not OF
democratic origin, nor we're they
brought to the public knowledge by
democratic malignity. Neither At
kins nor Mnlligan acted by demo
cratic inspiration. Mr. Blaine's at
tempt to prop up his falling reputa
ton by appeals to party feeling, in
stead of meeting the case on its
merits, is not calculated to make a
favorable impression, when it is SC
notorious that the chief exposures
have come from republican sources
and that Mr.. Blaine himself assign
ed them a republican origin in his
first personal explanation six weeks
agO.-[New York Herald.

The past proved that the Gov
eminent under Democratic rule
was honestly and efficiently ad-
ministered. The rights of the
States and the freedom of the
people were jealousy guarded.
The masses of the people were
so legislated for that capital
could not Cypress them, and
there was a gradual elevation of
the poor and equalization of man
with his fellow man. Unexam-
pied prosperity was universal.
Power passed from the hands
of the Democratic party in the
Federal Government; a prosper
GUS country, under the rule of
their opponents, has been made
to flow with blood. A people
who were free from debt are now
saddled with such a debt that
every man knowsit must remain
as an incubus for his children's
children. Capitalists exult in
their receipts of ten to twenty
per cent. paid by the poor Dor
rover, who takes a deprecated
currency as loan and bargains
topay in specie or its equivalent.
The whole tendency of Repub-
lican rule has been to corrupt
the public mind. First, with the
glitter of war, and then with it a
lavish expen iture of money
Their effort has been to surfeit
the people with largesses and
magnificent projects of granting
away the public domain or sub
sidising visionary projects. It
was thus that Julius Caesar act
ed on his return from Spain, from
Gallicia and Lusitamia.
When James Ii. attempted to
subvert the English constitution
and thus overthrow the liberties
of the people, it was not by open
assaults, but by corruption, and
that corruption was principally
through the emoluments Of Office.
1t is in this way that Grant and
his party are now striding to-
wards a power that now threat
ems imperial sway. The eighty
thousand appointees are all per-
vading and ever obedient to
their masters will.
Can any Democrat-can any
man really DESTROYS of the well
fare of his country, stand quiet
ly by and let such party obtain
another lease of power if posi-
BILE to prevent it? We trust not.
We cannot believe that a peo-
pie SO intelligent and so at
tached to the traditions of the
past as the people of America,
can fail to do their whole duty
in the coming contest.
