The Ohio Democratic Convention.

The Ohio Democratic platform is an
amusing illustration of feeble party
clap-trap. 1t accuses the Republican
minority in Congress of refusing to
support the army unless it could be used
to intimidate voters, and the President
of vetoing legislation that is plainly
constitutional. Is the veto less consti-
tutional than legislationP Such a
charge, and the declaration that the
President ought not to have vetoed the
bills because they had received the
most mature consideration of Congress,
are an illustration of characteristic
Democratic contempt for the intelli-
gence of the people of the United States
1t is an instructive commentary upon
the nature and tendency of existing par
| ties that in this Democratic Convention
delegate who, according to the re-
port in the New York Times, was
drunk. nominated a practical repu-
diator for the Office of Governor,
upon a platform of ridiculous and
palpable untruth. The respectable cit
liens of the country are invited to sup
pose that constitutional liberty, the
equal rights of citizens, the National
honor, the prosperity of labor and of
the laboring- man, and the general well
fare of all sections of the country are
safer in the hauds of a party whose
recent and most important perform
ances are the nomination of an infla-
ZIONIST to be Governor of Ohio, and q
threat of disorganization of the Ma
tional Government if the President
does not surrender his constitutional
rights.
There was another observable in
cident in the Convention besides those
we have mentioned. General Steed-
man, the temporary chairman, follow
ing Senator Hill in the Senate, an
nounced that to the Democratic party
belonged the credit of suppressing the
rebellion. There were brave mon and
good soldiers in the Union army who
were Democrats. That is gladly con-
ceded by every Republican. But since
General Steedman and Senator Hill
raise the question, it is we'll to recall
that the last Democratic President an
nounced that the Union had no right to
save itself from rebellion-an opinion
which he derived from one of the chief
of living Democratic leaders, Mr.. Black.
Every one of the rebel chiefs was a
Democrat. They defended their rebel
lion upon Democratic doctrine. Every
Copperhead that stung the soldiers
from the rear was Democrat; and the
Democratic National Convention, in the
midst of the contest, declared the war
to be failure. General Steedman and
Senator Hill choose to raise this ques-
ton. They wilbhave quite enough of
the answer. The Democratic party in
this country has been the party of
caste and aristocracy and special priv
ilege; the party of the most Odious in
humanity and injustice; the party of
State tyranny against the equal rights
of American citizens and the natural
rights of man; the party of sycophancy
to foreign ignorance; the party of dis
union and National dishonor. What
its leaders expect to gain 10y reviving,
in the political contests of to-day, recol-
lections the most damning to any party
in free and intelligent country, is not
yet apparent. Harper's Weekly.

A Thrilling Letter From Fighting
Parson,

THE Rev. j. II. Acton, pastor of
Taylor Street Methodist Episcopal
Church in this city, and editor of the
Pacific Christian Advocate, publishes
the following invitation, which has been
received by him:
PORTLAND, ORE, May II, 1879.
The Rev. j. II. Acton:
DEAR SIR: am instructed TO invite you to
deliver discourse on the Sabbath preceding
Decoration Day In commemoration of the
services of our fallen comrades, who gave
their lives for the maintenance Of this great,
free Government. IL consistent, We hope that
you will be pleased to comply; Very re-
spectfully s. n. FIERCE,
Chairman Committee.
The following reply Is made through
the AdUocdte. Doubtless there is a
class of politicians-men whose hearts
were not true to the country in its
agony-who will condemn it; and let it
be observed that the man who re-
sponded to the call of his country, and
fought as soldier through the war, has
earned the privilege to speak his senti-
ments. In this instance they are spoken
with a most thrilling earnestness. 1t is
avoice in which fervency andpathos are
blended with the sound of trumpet:
"We must respectfully decline.
Nearly eighteen years since, at the call
of the United States Government, we
took up our line of march for the bloody
fields of the South-not as a commits

we will fall by her. Her people are
our people, her fortune our fortune,
and her God our God. There can be
no divorce between her destiny and
our own. A blow at her is blow al
us. When she is taunted we are taunted
too. When she is slandered we feel the
insult tingling through every fibre Of
our frames.
This is why we confront the bastard
Democrats in this manner to-day.
They have tried to humiliate her in
the eyes of the whole earth.
They have represented that she
has proved recreant to the dead who
died for her-has turned from the con-
secrated altars of her ancestors, and
flung herself prone before the false
gods set up by hands that reeked and
dripped with the gore of her children.
1t is lie.
The South is the old South still,
thank heaven, and all the storms and
passions that ever tore across our
planet can never make her depart to the
right hand nor to the left.
1t was well known that we have
clung to the Northern State-Rights
Democracy with dead-like tenacity in
its darkest hour of gloom.
We stood by it in the William Allen
campaign, when to do so was to be de.
nounced as fossil and fool.
We stood by it at time when almost
our whole people had lost faith and
hope in the cause.
We have promptly resented every as.
sault made upon it by friend or foe, and
arrested, as far as in lay, every threat
ened departure to form a new alliance.
We have stood by it against all odds
and under all circumstances, because
our brains and our hearts approved its
fundamental doctrines.
To-day, and up to this hour, VIC
stand uniiinchingly by the Northern
State-Rights Democracy.
But the Democrat who will not as
sert the principal of State Rights and
White Supremacy, in Congress or out
in the North or in the South, is a de.
serter; and we brand him as a traitor
to cherished political conviction Of
his party.
Such Democrats we spew out of ouI
mouths.
In conclusion, the States asks no odds
at the hands of the bastard Democrats
of Yankeedom.
We know that they will resort tc
falsehoods; we have proof that they re-
sort to forgery; we believe that they
are capable of doing anything that is
dishonest, unclean, and criminal tc
misrepresent the South and weaken
the usefulness of this journal.
But we fling the gauntlet in theil
teeth, and defy them to do their worst
for we have appealed to Time the great
Arbiter, and his verdict never went
amiss.- Okolona Miss. J Southern States,

STANLEY Again in Africa.

Mr.. Stanley arrived in Zanzibar in
his little vessel, the Albion, on the 18th
of March. The secrets of the objects
of his new African expedition had been
we'll kept up to the time of the depart
ure of the last mail; but it was gen.
orally supposed that his destination
was the Congo, ithaving been remarked
that he carries with him. steam launch
and a large cutter, with quantity of
pierced iron plates evidently intended
to form shield round the boats in case
of attack,-in short, a preparation just
suited for river navigation in a hostile
region such as Mr.. Stanley passed
through on his memorable descent of
the Congo. He has engaged a large
number of his old followers at Zanzi-
bar, and paid them advanced wages,
promising them that they shall see
Europe when their work is oyer.-Athe-

the countryP Neither Mr.. Hampton
nor any other Democrat has ever
shown that the army ever prevented
the deposit in the ballot-box of a
single honest vote. On the other
withdrawn from Mr.. HamptOn's own
State, the majority of the voters there
of were overborne by frauds at the
polls. There was reign of tissue
ballots under which, as Wendall
Phillips says, &" the people we're cheated
out of their rightsr' There can be no
worse despotism than the despotism of
the minority achieved through the
agency of lying tissue-ballots crammed
into the boxes contrary to law! There
can be no worse despotism than that of
the majority in New York City in 1868,
when itswelled its vote by the grossest
frauds.
Are you serious, Mr.. Hampton, when
you express the apprehension that the
army will be used to impose a despot-
ism upon the American peopleP The
army fought against you once, but it
never fought against the flag, the Con-
stitution of the Union. You declare
your loyalty to the Union; you make
the declaration with much pomposity
of speech and manner. Would you use
the army to establish despotismP If
you say No, hotly, Indignantly, permit
us to ask whether in your opinion you
are more honorable, more loyal to the
Republic, than the army, or the Com
mander-in Chief of the army, the pres
ent Executive of the NationP
What do you mean when you say:
1.-The South asks to have stricken from
the statute books laws which are the
product of distrust as much as were the
armies and naviesPh Would you hold
no restraining power over the heads of
bad menP The event lproved that the
distrust of which the armies and navies
were the product was we'll founded.
The armies and navies were required
to save the Nation from destruction at
the hands of desperate men. The laws
in regard to Deputy-Marshals and Su-
pervisors were the product of distrust
of desperate men who actually cheated
the people out of their rights at the
polls! Mr.. Hampton, the conclusion is
irresistible that you and your party are
fighting to clear the road to fraudulent
elections. All your sophistry cannot
hide this disgracful fact Chicago Trtb-
ulie, June T.

An exciting scene occurred in the French
Chamber OF Deputies on the 10Th while Jules
Ferry's education bill was under discussion.
Paul de Cassagnac accused Ferry of uttering
calumnies against religious orders, and with
falsifying documents. He refused to retract
the charges, and on the Left votingto censure
him the confusion became so great that Gam
BETA, the President of the Chamber, left the
chair, closing the session for an hour. De
Cassagnac continued speaking, after the gal
lerles had been cleared, amid great confusion.
The Chamber on resuming It's sitting voted
to exclude De Cassagnac for three days.
After the censure Of the House had been pro-
nounced on him, he declared the Government
the scum of towards and wretches.
