The Democratic party has no new
departure to make in order to combine
every sound principle OF correct gov
ernmeut, They have only to turn
their back upon Republican methods
an.i ,naumon, and embrace their early
principles. In his veto of the United
States bank monopoly, Gen. Jackson
wrote good platform. We subjoin
small portion OF it, that seems to be
peculiarly appropriate at the present
day;
1t is to be regretted that the rich ana
powerful too eften bend the acts of the
government to their selfish purposes.
Distinction in society viii always ex-
ist under every just government.
Equality of talents, of education, or
of wealth, cannot be produced by hu-
man institutions. In the full enjoy
ment Of the gifts of heaven and the
| fruits of superior industry, economy
and virtue, every man is equally enti-
| tied to protection by law. But when
the laws undertake to add to their
natural and just advantages artificial
distinctions to grant titles, gratuities
and exclusive privileges; to make the
rich richer, and tne potent more pow
erful, the hum oler members of society,
the farmers, mechanics and jabOrers,
who have neithe: the time nor the
means OF securing like favors to them
selves, have right to complain of the
injustice OF their government.
There are no necessary evils in gov
ernment. Its evils exist emily in its
abuses. If it would oonfine itself TO
equal protection, and, as heaven does
its rains, shower its favors alike on the
high and the low, the rich and the
poor, it would be an unqualified bless
ing. Experience should teach
us wisdom. Most of the difficulties
our government now encounters, and
most of the dangers which impend
over our Union, have sprung from an
abandonment of the legitimate object
Of government by our national iegisla-
ton and the adoption of such prnci-
pies as are embodied in this act. Many
of our rich men hava not been content
with equal protection and equal beno-
fits, but have besought ua to make
them richer by act of Congress. BY
attempting.tu gratify their desires We
have, in the results OF our legislation,
arrayed section against section, inter
est against Interest, anu man dSalDE
man, in fearful commotion which
threatens TO shake the foundation Ot
our Union. It ia time to pause i'll oul
career, to review our principles, and
if possible, revive that devoted patri
otism and spirit of compromise which
distinguished the sages of the revolu
ton and the fathers of our Union.
II we cannot at once, in justice tC
interest invested under imprOvident
legislation make our government wha
IL ought to be, we can. at least, take ;
stand against all new grauts OF mo
nopolies and exclusive privileges
against The prostitution Of our govern
ment to the advancement of the few
at the expense Of the many, and il
favor of compromise and gradual re
form in our code Of laws and system o
political economy.

No DIfftcGity i'm Constructing tn g
Democratic Platform.
The Democracy of Ohio, when they
meet in their State Convention, at
Columbus, on the 2i4t Of this month,
viii have no trouble in expressing and
declaring their principles and views.
They will not be at u loss for position
as are their Republican adversaries,
who do not know what to say to con-
ciliate their old allies and supporters,
the liquor interest and vendors and the
wool growers of the State.
The Democracy Of Ohio have only
to re-aflirm the everlasting principles
of popular self-government, aud the
sound policy consistent Herewith on
all current questions, which they pro-
claimed in 1880, 'Sl aud So.
On the two or three matters of State
and National affairs Row uppermost,
! the re-adopti0n Of the following re4o-
lutioDs will he in order, and we have
no nouht;of their unanimous re-atfirm:
| ation-tO-wit:
THE TARIFF.
| Res0lued, That we favor tariff levied
| to meet the actual needs of the Gov
ernHient, and so adjusted in its details
with view to equality in the public
burdens, as to encourage productive
industries, and afford labor just com
pensatiOn, without creating Inonopo-
| lies.
| SUMPVITA LAWS
Res0lUc9, That now, as heretofore, we
maintain and steadfa4tIy adhere to the
largest individual liberty consistent
with the rights of others, the public
order and welfare, and are opposed to
legislation merely sumptuary.
LABOR.
| ReS0lUGd, That the abuses OF the pres
! ent contract system III our State Prlsotl
| 10y which the product OF criminal labor
is brought into con petition with the
products of honest labor, to the great
| injury Of the latter, are vicious and
uewise, and should be corrected.
Upon these issues the Dem ocracy oi
| Ohio will meet their adversaries, and
beat them. Except the adoption OF a
| resolution il favor of constitutional
amendment for license as the only
practical regulation of the liquor traffic
which is undoubtedly the Democratic
view, we do not know of anything
additional required in tho Democratic
| platform, unless it DO some forcihie
condemnation of the late Republican
Congress aud State Legislature

Say of tho nassaoA nf tho tariff hill

49,
say of the passage of the tariff bill /:
"The tariff legislation of the last
Congress was the result Of corrupt and
disgraceful intrigues, and shameless
attempts to perpetuate existing evils
under pretense Of tariff reform"
AS to this, there is abundant testi-
mony of all kinds, republican as well
as Democratic. The lobby, the con-
gressional advocates of local interests,
aud the paid experts had their own
way in that matter. The Ohio repub-
licans nave practically said that no re-
vision shall be made, even though 1t
should be shown thar bounties are toe
high and oppressive upon consumers.
At the same time they say it shall be
opened AS to wool, when that will re-
open the whole subject. Was there
ever such hypocrisy and eqnivoca-
tion ?-[ News Journal,

AFTER lauding the administration
that bestows the power of the Federal
patronage i'll the Old Dominion upon
an open repudiator, it is hardly in
good taste for the Republican leaders
to boast OF keeping public faith and
maintaining public credit.

The late Republican State Conven-
ton committed larceny upon the De-
mocracy by stealing its thunder in ia
vor of the abolition OF prison contract
labor. If their resolution upon this
subject is not the merest buncomb and
hypocrltical cant, why didn't their
late Legislature with its large Repub-
lican majority, show their faith by
their works?

Is called Is one Ol great importance. and we be-

builds up the charities of our state, whatever is
intended to protect the interests OF the defence
'sss whatever t is ADAPTED to temper justice with
IS dHtng Gods work, and we believe that our
brother has acted wisely in accepting this posi-
ton.

compelled to accept the inevitable decision. and
boring ministers and churches can little afford

though meeting With the many hindrances that
are incident to all newly organized communities,
yet he has shown an intense love for the work
to which his master has called him. He Is en-

he possesses such social and administrative
qualities ~ are helpful In the work of saving
men. Believing that our brother, Rev. Hastings
