4 LEGISLATIVE C1TECHTSM.

The following catechisn for the instruction Of
those who have a legislative in view has
been carefully prepared by n committee composed
OF misrepresentatiyes Of the people who constitute
the majority in the present Legislature. All rights
reserved
Q.-What is the chief end of Democratic legis-
latorl
A.-The chief end of a Democratic legislator is to
harvest as much of the spolls possible for the
political party to which he is allied.
Q.-Does such service preclude his incidentally
engaging in the business of law-makingG
A-Not if circumstances will admit, but on no ac-
count should he allow law-making to take prefer
ence of spos-seeking.
Q.-IIaye the people who elect legislators to look
after public interests any rights that Democratic
legislators are bound to esacctl
A.--Ihcy have such rghts-before election.
O.-What do you think of the people, anyway!
A-The people are or deluded mortals to whom
Heaven gave eyes in order that Democratic cgisla-
tors and cognate statesmen Of our stripe might pull
the wool over them.
Q.-Nhat do YOU understand by the oath which
the Constitution prcscribes that each legislator
shall take before entering upon the duties of hls
Office, and which reads: :" soemnly swear that
will discharge the duties of Senator lor Assem-
bymanl to the best ofmy abilityT
Al understand it to De a harmless joke TO which
no statesmen, except such as believe IN Sunday
schoolism in politics" pay the slightest attention
Q.-What are the earnest convictions which il
bchooves a Democratic legislator to have on the
great public questions that colcern the Empire
STATED
A.-Thc Democratic party has been out Of earnest
convictions for these twenty years.
Q.-iIow about canals railroads taxation, excise,
ocomarglIine, the National Guard, the contract
81 stem IN prisons
A.-Such things are of minor importance, ana if
necessary their consideration can be indefinitely
postponed
Q.-What are the vital matters which as intelH-

THE HORPIFIED DEMOCRACY

Again our Democratic friends, and with
them some of the politicians of the transcend
entail order who are opposed to any counting
of votes that are not tinted with azure and
scented with rose are distressed on behalf Of
the Republicans who have exposed themselves to
contamination and disgrace by having had
their candidate for Clerk of the Assembly elected
by Tammany votes. Precisely what they
would have had the Republicans in the As
sembly do when the entire Tammany balance
of power came tunlbling in to the support of
Mr.. johnson they do not tell us. Possibly
they expected them to stand over the Tam
many men with a club and intimidate them by
pbvsical force from voting for a Republican.
But that was hardly reasonable since the
tumblnc in came so suddenly and un-
expectedly that they had no time to
prepare for it. Or did they think that
rather than have their candidate elected
by Tammany votes they would withdraw
him incontinently and put up another whom
they could continue to vote for with no danger
of his being elected by unorthodOx votes ?
Or that Mr. Johnson himself, observing with
horror that his election had been brought
about by the votes of wicked and evil-minded
touch was contamination, would rise up and
refuse to accept the office because base men
had voted for him7 In the ideal state of poll
tics and parties it might not be unreasonable
TO indulge in such expectations. But
we are unhappily still in the period of coarse,
vulgar practical politics, and neither parties
nor candidates are disposed to require their
supporters to bring certificates of good char
acter or recommendations from their last
place. The cold, brutal truth is that the Re-
publicans actually desired the election of Mr..
johnson, and there is little doubt that Mr..
that when the Tammany balance tumbled in
and elected Mr.. Johnson, the result was ac-
cepted without question by the Republicans,
and Mr.. johnson submitted to be sworn in
But the Democratic grief over the Republi-
can disgrace is more than balanced by their
unqualified approval :of the manly and inde-
pendent course of Speaker Patterson, and their
irrepressible delight that he has shown by his
action that he had made no trade with Tam
many, and was superior to any corrupt APP
proach from that quarter Far be it from Us
TO question the sincerity of these gentlemen,
who. after six weeks of Improbable and in
conclusive negotiations for the votes of the
Tammany men-negotiatiOns by committees
and caucuses, of which there was no pretence
of concealment--prOclaim their delight that no
taint of any bargain agreement is on the
pure garments of the Country Democracy or
