WEDNESDAY. MARCH 81. 1878.

In reading over the platform Of
the "National Party" promulgated at
Toledo, Ohio, some weeks ago, we are
in all candor, compelled to say that
the sentiments expressed in those
resolutions are just what the Demo-
cratic party has always Advocated
And we are at loss to know how
the working-men can expect to gain
anything by DESERVING the Democrat
ic party and uniting with this new
movement, controlled by old Ben,
Butler, Sam. Carey and Brick Pom
eroy. If these men do not weigh
down the new party, we shall be
very greatly surprised. An alliance
with such men is to soy the least not
very encouraging to the true work
ingmen Of the country. In all res
poets the Democratic party has been
the honest advocate of the rights OF
labor; the working classes compose
three-fourths of the party, and can
control its action if they wish. But
by going off after false Gods, lead
from the true course by the bleating
of demagogues, the workingmen bid
fair to loose all the advantage they
have gained. By their acts they can
weaken the Democratic party so as
to keep the Republican party in
power, the party that has brought all
the wicked legislation upon the ma
ton from which the working classes
are suffering to-day.
All was contentment with the
working classes of this country un-
der Democratic rule, but since 1861,
when Radicalism crazed tho people,
there has been a constant huctuation
of values, and in the end the work
ing classes have suffered. The Dem
ocrats proved true when they had
control of the government, and no
man can deny it; and now when
they are again upon the portals and
about to assume the reins of govern
ment conspiracy breaks out togive
still further power to Radicalism by
dividing the friends of labor.
We believe the leaders of the Ma.
tional movement to be the purchased
tools Of the bondholding, blue blood
aristocracy of this country, that have
set this Offering baltic divide the
party that alone can give the bone
and sinew of the land its rights
Workingmen before they are led in
to this trapshould think well wheth'
er they are not making false step
that will tend to give a still further
lease of power to their enemies.

For several years past doubts have
been expressed as to whether the ex-
act condition of our national finances
was known, or could be gathered from
the statements made from time to
time by the Treasury department.
The popular beliefs that vast sums
have been squandercd, or lost in a
mysterious way, and the deficiency
covered up by forced balances. The
revelations made by Senator Davis of
West Virginia, give additional
strength to this belief. 1t is saidt that
Senator, who has paid good deal of
attention to the subject, expresses the
belief that vast sums have been alb
stracted from the treasury, Of which
no exposure has been made; but the
losses have been studiously conceal
cd from the public. These robberies
or swindles are said to amount to
enormous sums-throwing all minor
swindles known to the country, en-
tirely in the shade. We shall know
more Of the subject anon.

THE PRESIDENTS POLICY

Last week. the National Republican,
published at Washington, contained
what purported to be al interview with
the President relative to the Southern
policy of the Government. The Presi-
dsut was made to say that the concilia.
tory course which he had adopted in
the South would be abandoned and
bayonet rule established. The New
York Times. the leading Republican
paper of the United States, showed that
this would be impracticable as we'll as
unconstitutional, and that the ground
which the Republicans lost by the with.
drawal OF troops could not be repained
by bayonet force.
Now the National Republican con.
fesses that its recently published inter.
view with the President was not genu.
Inc, and that the Administration is in
no way responsible tor any publication
that may be made regarding its future
policy, as the President invariably re-
fuses to be interviewed by any repre-
sentative of tue press.
Ii Is generally conceded that the Re
publican gains ut the last election were
owing to great extent to the Southern
question. and an endorsement of the
policy of the Administration. Ii such
Is the fact it would be very foolish on
the part of the President to abandon
that policy. The laws which guarantee
certain rights to, citizens OF the Uuited
States are the same in South Carolina
and Louisiana as in New York and
massachusetts,, and should be enforced
ny the same methods Ia every State in
the Union. The white citizens of Mas
sachusetts who We're iutimidated by til .
wealthy corporations of that State at
the late election. are entitled to the
same protection from the Federal Gov
ernment as the black citizens of Louis.
iA "A' "oho lHtiuIddIeu ny Lnelr
white employers, aud it is the duty of
the Administration to extend ths same
protection to the one as the other. Ev-
erybody, North aud South, who is tn.
htled to the right of suffrage. should be
protected Ia the exercise of that right
without regard to the color of the
citizen or the section IN which he re.
sides, and SO long as the President does
vol make any distinction between Faces
or States Ia the enforcement OF the law
he will merit the respect of all law
abiding citizens.
