General Hancock has changed his
mind on this subject since 1868 ne
ought to say SO.
3. The democratic party In Iooo'
when General Hancock so cordially
endorsed its "principles, said that
the reconstruction acts of congress
were usurpations, Unconstitutional,
revolutionary and void" General
Blair. the democratic candidate for
vice president, declared that if the
democratic party was successful that
year that the constitutional amend
ments should be overthrow. This
expression was doubtless approved
by General Hancock at the time.
If he has changed he ought to
say so.
The endorsement of the demo
cratic platform of 1868 is about the
sum of General Hancock's political
utterances. That platform was
overwhelmingly condemned by thu
American people. If General Han
cock entertains the views now, ex'
pressed then, and there is no evl
| dence that he does not, he will b.
condemned.

DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES.

The democratic platform adopted
at Cincinnati cites US to the teach
ings of "long line of democratic |
statesmen " for an illustration of the
" constitutional doctrines " of the
democratic party, to which its rep
resentatives pledged it "anew" at
Cincinnati. Now, Wade Hampton
is a democratic. statesman. We
have heard something of his teach
ings recently in his celebrated
Stanton speech. We find that
this distinguished democratic states
man did some teaching in 1868. lie
was a member of the national dem>
ocratic convention of that year,
and one of the committee on reso-
lutions. After returning home he
made sneech in Charleston on the
2Ath day of July. He gave an &C
count of his experience on that com
mittee. He said that the list thing
he demanded was declaration that
the right Of suffrage was purely a
matter for state legislation, and be-
longcd to the state governments as
they existed prior to 1867. The
reception of such proposition he
described as follows
''Some douDts, however, were ex-
pressed of the policy of such declara-
ton. Gentlemen hom the north,
south, east and west all showed the
greatest disposition to act in harmony
| [ am free to confess that they met uF
everywhere with cordiality aud good
will. In fact they declared their will
Ingness to give Us every thing we could
desire, but they begged rs to remem'
Der that they had great fight TO MAKE
at the north, and they therefore be
sought US not to load the platform
with. weight that they could no
, carry against the prejudice they haC
TO encounter. Help them once 10 gail
the power, .and they would do thei
utmost to relieve the southern states
and restore to US the union and con
, stitution as it had existed prevl0u9 t

For ages have mouldcrcd IN dust away;

Must ever be kept, in each Christian CLINE,
