TIE DEwocaATg At CINCINNATI.

The Democratic National Convention
was called to order yesterday morning,
and Hoadley of Ohio made Temporary
Chairman. His opening speech was chiefly
remarkable for an extravagant eulogum
upon Tilden and Hendricks, and an I'M
piled assumption that they ought to be
renominatei. The mention of Tilden's
name called ont great deal of applause,
but the speech appears to be generally
regarded as injudicious and wanting in
dignity On the call of States, when New
York was reached, John Kelley tried to
get the floor, but the Chairman refused to
recognize him. After appointing the Com
uittees on Credentials, Order of Business,
etc, the Convention adjourned until ten
o'clock this morning, IN order to give time
Tor hearing the statements Of the contesting
delegates from New York and Massa-
chusetts. If the New York case, which is
the only serious one, can be adjusted by
this morning, there seems no reason why
the Convention should not finish its work
by Thursday night at farthest. Thus
far, however, there does not appear to be
any tendency to agreement upon candi-
dates. Tilden's letter is after all not
looked upon by his enemies as an absolute
resignation. They fear him even when
he processes to withdraw, and they con-
tnue to fight him as though he were still
in the field. Nor is the withdrawal OF
Seymour accepted as final, and since the
publication of Tilden's letter the Seymour
men have shown disposition to resurrect
their buried boom. The name OF Bayard
would evidently possess much strength
but for his secession letter. This is the
more curious that the candidate about to
be nominated has only Democratic votes
to expect. 1t is certainly q new idea that
the Democracy looks upon secession senti-
ments with SO holy a horror as to ostracise
man whose only offense is that OF hav-
ing written a secession letter In 1862. Ii
all the members Of the Cincinnati Con-
vention were polled, and all the candi-
dates, we are inclined to think that COM
paratively few of them would be able to
make out much better record for
loyalty to the Union than that of Thomas
F. Bayard. The national record of the
Democratic party, moreover, is such as to
make this squeamishness absolutely ridicu-
lous. Nobody who is familiar with the
history of that organization would feel that
it had stultiied itself if it should put JEFF
ferson Davis at the head of its ticket. Its
sympathy with rebellion, its inherent and
conspicuous disloyalty, is indeed too notori-
GUS to need recall. Yet at this moment its
leaders are affecting to shrink from one OF
the best men the party has ever had, be-
cause he is charged with having written
single letter of disloyal character. The
Democrats may nominate Bayard without
any misgivings He will poll every Demo
cratic vote, and there is no candidate on
their list who can do more. They have no
man who is capable of taking away votes
from Garfield, and therefore they need not
be go fastidious about the war-record of
their nominees.

Eds. Inder:-I see in an article
in the Pittsburgh Dispatch that the
iron men and capitalists of the Iron
City are becoming interested in the
vast iron ore fields of West Virginia;
that they propose to have these great
ore beds tested, and are willing to
assist in the construction of proper
railroads from Pittsburgh, through
West Virginia, to reach the ore, coal
and timber with which this State is
so abundantly blessed This is the
right step for the capitalists of Pitts
burgb to take, and our people should
do all ia their power to aid in any
enterprise that will connect them
with the Pittsburgh market, for there
is no city that offers so good a trade
for West Virginia as Pittsburgh.
The natural route from Pittsburgh
is up the Monongahela Valley, and
the people of Monongalia, Marion
and Harrison counties should unite
at once and do what they can to get
the road while they can get help. If
they do not do their part, Pittsburgh
capital may take it another way. The
Monongahela Valley is 3 solid coal
field, besides being one Of the best
farming valleys in the State, and
q would certainly give any railroad a
good trade. Up this valley to Clarks-
burg, there connecting with the Wes-
ton and Clarksburg narrow guage,
which is now in good running order,
and from Weston to the ore fields, on
ly a short distance, would be the
cheapest route through the State. and
no other will be taken if the people
along the line Of it will do their part.
AS Pittsburgh is now manifesting a
disposition TO push her interests in
this direction, we say Let the people
give the matter their earnest atten-
tion, and heartily cooperate with her
ia securing the road We believe
that now is the time to act

The strike Of coal miners in the
Kanawha valley, West Virginia, is
becoming serious in its character.
A number of man having returned to
work at the Austedt mines, near
Hawks Nest, about $50 strikers at
another point boarded an east bound
train on the Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad Thursday, and forced the
conductor to let them ride free to the
scene of operations. Yesterday $50
more repeated this action with an
other train. The force was thus suf-
fcient to intimidate the employers
and men at the Austedt mines. The
railroad and mining officials called
on Gov. Matthews for aid, and he has
ordered the Lewishurg and Charles
ton military Companies to hold them
selves in readiness.-BaWo Sun.

Hamilton was the head, claimed
much under this implied grant OF
i powers, while the Democratic Repub-
lican party, of which Thomas JeGer-
son was the head, claimed more
strict construction of the Constitu-
ton, and that nothing was intended
under the implied grant but such
things as we're materially necessary
to carry out the powers expressly del
egated. Jefferson succeeded, and
Hamilton and his party went under,
and after awhile sprang into new
ness of life under the name Of Wing.
But, oh! how wonderfully regener-
ated and improved 1t ,oas, for all 1t
ever claimed while it retained that
glorious old name, was liberal con-
struction of the Constitution. The
names and deeds of these two noble
old parties, Democrat and Wing, will
stand out in bold relief while a
remnant of their form of government
remains. But after awhile, the nu-
clcus of new and fanatical party
arose in the North, known as the
Free Soil or abolition party. 1t &C
knoWledged slave,y as recognized
and protected by the Constrtution,as
"League Nth hell, and a coUenont
wih DEATH" and made war on that
Constitution, because it.did not suit
them. Unluckily for this country,
in 1860, that grand old Democratic
party became divided on men, and
ran two candidates, while that other
noble old Wing party split as to men
also; that is, between Bell and Lin
coin, and the result was that the 40
oitionistS and Hdmiit0nt0n wing of
that party succeeded in electing Lin
coin, although, falling very far short
of majority of the popular vote.
Under this party, the late war was
forced upon the country to abolish
slacery, and which it accomplished
in violation of that oath. And this
same party has gone on ever since
openly and avovedly disregarding
that Constitution, whenever and
wherever it came in its way to power
and spoils, until it now does not hes
itate to give that provision Of the
Constitution before stated, con
struction far beyond what was ever
claimed by Hamilton, for he only
claimed such powers as he thought
necessary and proper to carry on the
Government, while this Radical party
construe it to mean all powers nee
essary to perpetuate the Republican
or Radical party. And their last
card is to be played with Grant, who
it is well known neither knows or re-
CARDS the Constitution or laws, or
any other rule or law Of action than
that of necessity, the tyrants Code,
and who will not hesitate to enforce
it by the bayonet, if blood should
have to flow like river. This party
had its birth in antagonism to the
Constitution, and will live and die
as it was born. May God grant that
a party more submissive to the con-
stitution may take it's place ere it is
too late.

Republican managers are laboring
The caption of the article is signiti-
cant from the fact that we noticed on
the through express for Cincinnati,
on Wednesday morning last, three
colored families, among whom were
eight voters, whose destination was
Indiana. We enquired of one Of these
sable gentlemen, as to what he intend
ed to do when he arrived in the
Hoosier State and he replied: 81
don'no Another communicative
individual said they were from North
Carolina and were bound for Indiana,
and they intended adopting farming
as their occupation. We learn from
the conductor that a number go
through on the West bound express
every day. This is the modus oper-
andi adopted by the Republicans to
carry Indiana at the fall election.
1t is disreputable scheme which
will be looked upon with contempt
by many liberal Republicans. 1t
will, in the end, rebound to their dis
misunderstanding Neps.
Facts and Figures.
As this is the beginning of the new
year, we have concluded to state
some facts and figures with reference
to the party under whose banner we
are fighting the battles of the people,
whose principles are destined to win
sooner or later We know, as a par
ty, we have had much to discourage
us in the past,-we have been cheat
ed out of our well earned victories,
by theft and fraud. But while we
have had adversely we have also had
prosperity; there has been steady
advance all along the Democratic
history, from jefferson to the pres
ent, as the defendant of the people
other parties have risen, hourished
and fallen, but Democracy continues
to live. Of course, we grant that it
has made some mistakes party
has not? but, on the whole, it has al
ways battled for the right, and the
golden age of our Republic was un-
der Democratic rule.
In "a the Democratic party, with
a union soldier at the head of the
ticket, was only able to carry 81
electoral votes, with populor ma
jority against it, of nearly half a
million votes. In '6S it carried only
II electoral votes out of more than
300, yet an advance of so in years.
AT this time there were but IL Dem
ocrats in the Z. S. Senate, and 4S in
the House-60 in ala helpless mi
nority. During the years that fol
lowed up to '76, it suffered some re-
verses, but great deal of prosperity
some of our fold were discouraged
and ready to abandon the ship, but
the great masses stayed aboard, and
victory perched upon our banner
