A Democratic Survey.

The Chicago Ne,cs, a Demo cratic
newspaper, but which does not be-
lieve in the "principles for which
Lee and Jackson fought" sums up
the political situation as follows:

tude and respect. In the Candida
ture of this Union soldier they pre-
sent one idea which the body of the
people approve, viz: the reunion Of
the sections, the joining of the North
and South in the clUsest relationship

Ocratic party is a fraud. Its mana

country any sufficient assurance that

yelling tor "a CHANGE" when, from
either financial or social standpoint
the public sees no great need of a
change; and Wade Hampton, AS a
representative Democrat of the South,
assures the people of Virginia that
the election of Hanceck means a vic-
tory for the principles for which Lee
and Jackson fought. From all which
we are forced to conclude that Han.

by any act of his own.

Judge Houston, the Republican
candidate for Congress in Delaware,
is intimate with Hancock, and called
on him shortly after his nomination.
A reporter asked him If he would be
willing to trust Hancock as Presi-
dent, and he made this answer: II
should not lie afraid TO fully trust
Gen. Hancock, hut j think that at
this time any change in the national
administration would be unwise. 1t

Senator Allison, AN excellent su.
thority ON the politics of Iowa. says
the Republican majority in that State
will reach $4,000 in case the Demo-
Gratis and Greenbackers unite, and
will go much higher if they do not.
Iowa is always a sure Republican
State, but this information IS impor.
tant because the causes which are at
work to produce such big majority
there will bring out big Republican
vote in the close States. The Repub.

The Principles of Lee and Jackson


What are they? That is the phase
of this interesting Hampton case
which still remains to be discussed.
General Hampton assures us that he
did not mean by his famous declara-
tion that the right Of peaceable seces.
sion was still on trial. He regards
that as settled. The eminent Demo.
Gratis who testify tn the accuracy of
his remark, "these are the same
principles for which Lee and jackson
fought for four years." declare that
they regard it as settled also. The
Tribune, speaking for Northern Re-
publicans, freely admits that it is of
the same opinion. This being so, it
becomes a question of great interest
to known what the "principles" are
which Senator Hampton considers to
be still unsettled.
General Wade Hampton was a
delegate from South Carolina to the
National Democratic Convention
which met in New York City, July
4, 1868, and nominated Seymour and
Blair. He was a member of the
Committee on Resolutions. and was
a prominent actor int he Convention.
He returned to South Carolina after
the nominations were made, and
reached Charleston on July "a. On
the evening of that day magnificent
demonstration was made i'm his hon.
or. The account which that staunch
old Calhoun organ. The Charleston
Mercury, gives of it is stirring read.
ing even at this time. "Once more"
1t exclaimed, "the heart of Carolina
beats. Once more the people of
Carolina feel that they are people.
The splendid enthusiams of last night
was the first exhi oition of popular
emotion since the close of the war.
A platform was erected in the open
air, bearing on it's front the Han.
cockian inscription, "The Constitu>
ton and the Union" The General
was received with uproarious cheers
and waving of handkerchiefs. What
he understood by the "Constitution
and the Union" was clearly indicated
by the speech which followed. In
quoting from that speech we use sx.
tracts from the report of The Charles.

taken from that reputable Bourbon
newspaper and inserted by Calonel
John w. FOrney in FOrney's Weekly
Press of August l, 1868. We trust
this combination of authorities, q

OfGeneral Hancock, will be sufficient
to establish the fact that the speech
WIS not the forgery of an obscure
newspaper writer" The speech was
also reproduced in The Tribune on
the same date, and was accompanied
by some vigorous comments from
Horace Greeley.
General Harnpton's speech was
made up almost entirely of graphic
account of his experience as mem.
ber of the Committee on Resolutions.
He said that the first thing he de
manded was a declaration that the
right of suffrage was purely a matter
OF State legislation, and belonged to
the State Governments that existed
up to 1865. The reception of that
proposition he thus describ, d:

Reasons. Why.


why should l vote the Rep,N;
can ticket?" asks the young mNs
who has Just reached his majority,
""u - uesirous 0r mwATns suoneci-
entious choice between the two par-
ties which solicit his ballot. Here
are few reasons why:
Because the Republican party is
the only party which has no cause to
be ashamed of its past record.
Because it began its existence by
resisting the extension Of the curse
of human slavery to the free Terri
tsriss of the West.
Because it fought four years. war
to save the Union from being barken
into fragments, and conquered the
most formidable rebellion known to
history.
Because it emancipated four mil.
lions Of slaves, and gave them the
right to 'life, liberty, and the pur.
suit of happiness" which the Decla.
ton of Independence pronounced to
be the inalienable right of all man-
kind.
Because by an amendment to the
Constitution it forbade the States to
deprive any citizen of the ballot on
account of tho color of his skin, thus
making suffrage national and i'm.
partial.
Because, in a struggle of ten years.
duration, it steadfastly and success
fully defended the National honor
against the assaults Of repudiators,
and put the credit of the United
States OIL a par with that of the other
great civilized nations OF the world.
Because 1t made good the Nations
promise to the holders Of its green
back notes that they should be re.
deemed in coin. bringing the whole
volume of the paper currency up to
par with gold by the passage OF the
resumption act, in spite of the per-
sistent hostility of the Democrats.
Because it provided the country
with the safest and b.st banking sys.
tenn known to the world, and rescued
it from the evils of the former irre-
sponsible State banking system.
Because it has always honored Ia.
Dor and has recognized its rights to
comfort and education, by tariff
which protects the American work.
ingman against the competition of
the pauperized laborers of Europe.
Because it believes in the educa.
tion of the masses, and has given
free schools to fourteen States of the
Union which had no system for gen.
eral, impartial education until after
the reconstruction which followed tho
war.
Because it has warmly maintained
the results of the war, and constantly
asserted and defended the great prln-
ciples of nationality, liberty and
equality.
Because it stands to-day for a pure
ballot uncontrolled by intimidation
and undefiled by fraud, and for gov
srnment by the freely express ID
will of the majority.
Because it is the party OF ideas,
principles and progress, and embra.
ces in its ranks large majority Of
the men of intelligence, culture, en-
terprise, and high character in every
Northern community.
Because the party which saved tho
Republic from disruption, and made
it free, strong, honest, and honored
of all nations, can best be trusted to
manage its Government and mould
its destinies.

snce, this is freedom, this is liberty.
This is what the bill and the advo-
Gates of the bill mean.
For myself, individually, am liz
olined to be very accommodating on
this question. The voice OF the pee
pie is the voice Of democratic repub-
lies, which these United States profess
to be. If the people want the present
law, all right for me- II they want
the law changed, all right. If they
want woman, and she wants to be
eligible for any Office, sill right. II
they want her to be eligible for
optional Office, but ineligible for COM
pulsoEy Office, al right. If they want
her TO be eligible for elective Office,
but ineligible for appointive Office, on
the superstition that as to the latter a
man might appoint his wives,
his motoer, his grandmother,
his mothers in-law, his laugh
ters, his sisters, his cousins feminine.
and his aupts, and thus keep Office
in the family still more completely
than It is nov in some instances, all
right. I can get along anyway. II
the people wanted to put my wife
into Office, and she wanted to be put
there, ell right 1 should be better
suited if she would stay at home and
take care of the house and the child
dren, and l should try to persuade
her to DO 60. Still, if she was other.
wise minded, | should try to make
the best of things. and 10 endure the
sacrifice OF a portion of her time at
home, pro bono pubIicO, and to oblige
my confding neighbors, friends and
fellow citizens With the best grace l
could muster. It would not be
public-spiriied, but would be ungra-
cious, chuIlish and grumpish in me
TO arbitrarily refuse to let her 60 and
obstinstely prevent her going. But.
unwilling as might be to let her go,
cannot perceive the propriety OF re-
tanning all the present legal dissbil;-
ties OF woman in the statute book.
This is professedly a land OF
liberty, and we should try to live
Iup to our professions with e ntout
heart and without spinal curvature
or any sort of vertebral weakness.
We should not shrink from the lib
erty we praise and recommend. We
pretend to be great political sdootors,
able physicians. We freely prescribe
liberty in unlimited doses as the great
catholicon. the grand panacea, the
sovereign remedy, the perfect cure
for the evils of old world governments
and for the disiresses Of their peoples.
Why should we be afraid of our own
favorite prescription ? With all our
vain glorious boasts about liberty, you
see, when it comes down to the real
thing itself, we can only stand it liz
very mild doses. It must be largely
diluted to suit our pslates. We can
not take our liberty straight without
winking and blinking, aud manifest
ing our repugnance by sundry invol,
untary grimsces and very wry faces.
Such conduct is inconsistent, ana
consequently has rsther suspicion;
