confirmed by the Electoral Com
miselon. its speciality, without
any allusion to any other Of the
old party issues; no old Feder-
alist of John Adams time ever
held more tenaciously to the
doctrine of Federal supremacy
over the States. In the old
Northwestern States large
portion of the Democrats utterly
repudiate the hard money doe
trine of the Jacksonian Democ-
racy, and quite as large a por-
ton of the Republicans adhere
unflinchingly to that doctrine.
A large majority Of both par
ties in the West are opposed to
a protective tariff, while both
parties in Pennsylvania and New
England support that measure.
The leaders and those who give
tone to the Republican party on
this coast, were formerly Dem
ocrats, and mainly adhere to
their early political faith. We
met a distinguished Federal Of
fcial and earnest party man a
few months ago, who frankly
admitted that be believed in the
right Of secession, and that his
sole motive for engaging in the
war was to contribute to the
abolition Of slavery, deeming
fthat object ample justification
or revolutionary measures over
riding the Constitution. We
never believed in the right Of
secession; never questioned the
right of the Federal Government
to maintain its constitutional
powers over the States by mill
tary force, if necessary; simply
protesting against maintaining
Union of force by the over
throw of the Constitution, as no
less revolutionary than seces-
sion. Our friend, the avowed
secessionist and revolutionist;
was honored as q "Union man,
and we, the answering opposer
of secession and defender of the
integrity of the Union under the
Constitution, were denounced by
the politicians Of the Republican
party as "Secessionist." Those
issues are now practically dead,
though the political atmosphere
is ever and anon polluted by
demagogue attempts to stir up
the putrid remains of the dead
carcass. But what are the live
issues defined by party lines ?
We know of none which do not
run across instead of parallel
with the two parties. What
then is the purpose Of maintain
ing party organization and en-
forcing party discipline, but to
promote the personal ends OF
office-seekers? Both parties are
solemnly committed to the poll
cy of civil service reform. Both
national conventions have en-
photically decreed 9 divorce of
civil service from party politics,
and yet the adulterous connec-
ton is still maintained under
strict party discipline. The
member of either party who ex-
ercises his independence as an
American citizen according to
his own judgment, by voting for
member of the other party be-
cause he believed such candidate
