aally abandoning the deairuoliva (nature# of iD

meal, the Republican platform, contains a
aolfliuu warning to certain Democratic leader*
and prenaaa in tliia Slate. It shows conclu
sively that the party retaius nothing beyond
its more name and—an imperfect organiza
tion. Having wisely abandoned its principles,
and thrown its extreme and impracticable
leaders over-board, it would still retain its
organization, and battle for tha spoils under
the old usuie, but upon a new platform! —
This is tho vory essence aud spirit of tlio Res
olutions recently adopted by a State Conven
tion of tho Democratic party in Minnesota,
and it oontains an instructivo lesson to Uu
Hill-l\K>mbs Democracy in (Korgts.
Nor aro tho more intelligent uud moderate
men of tho lab* Democratic party in Georgia
disinclined to hoed these ominous warnings.
They arc getting tlicir eyes opened to the fact
that fossil leaders and a venal press can nev
succeed in resurrecting tlio party, oven in this
State. They realize the fact that
crata bavo ceased to accept mere viruleuci
abuse in lion of argument and political is
The People, they find, aro growing weaiy of
this perpetual din and cant about “respecta
bility," “nigger supremacy," “State Rights,
“tlu* Union as it was," “white mau’s govern
ment,” “Southern (misconceptionsof) honor,"
aud so forth. They fully realize the fact tbut
Uu* only distinctive issues of the Democratic
party, proper, were Retried the day in which
Geu. Lee made a formal surrender of tho Con
federate forces ; that theuceforth tho Democ
racy had nothing either of a State or national
policy to stand npou ; and that a ro-uuiou of
this eouutry upon tlio priuciples which tri
umphed iu the war of I860, is inevitable. As
well might au Englishman talk of tho resur
rection of the Heptarchies, or the restoration
of the Saxon Dynasty, as for Southern Demo
crats to talk about “the Constitution as it wux,"
or attempt to foist upou au intelligent people
such leaders am Hill and Toombs. And it
ry climax of folly to attempt to build
jw party" upon the ruins of an old
one thus so effeotually consigned to the heca
tombs. Conservatism is a good thing when
properly understood, aud when in its proper
place. But
to-morrow. And whon a set of political
leaders have, after a fail trial, aud into the
oo-operatiou of all men of their section, re-
gardle.sa of parly, mado a siguul and disastrous
failure—their dogmas exploded, their theories
abandoned; aud when the very name of their
ancient organization has fallen with disrepute
even with its friends; under such circumstan
ces, it is the supremest folly to attempt the
rebuilding of the purty—a party which has
nothing to support it.but the memories of the
disappointments, of (he heart-bnruings, the
hatreds and bickerings of a past decade.
We rejoico to see that the more able and
respectablo portion of the Democratic press,
iu this State, is awakeniug to a realiza
tion of these plain facts; and that they have
boldly proclaimed a purpose henceforth to
deal with liviug issues, and to cease to treat ns
enemies those of their fellow men who hon
estly differ with them iu opinion. An influen
tial Democratic paper, (the Brunswick Appeal)
uow before us, declare its desires to bo that
“the principles aud issues (of the Democratic
party) whTcn have ceased to have any practi
cal importance, should cense to vex the public
mind." This sentiment is rc-echoed by otb
Democratic journals, in other sections of the
S»ate; uud wo happeu to kuow that they meet
with a hearty response hom tho moro intelli
gent and lespocluble portion of ilio late party
throughout (he State.
This is the first step. In the process of
time—and that time is not vory remote,either—
Democrats will vio w ith Republicans iu the ad
vocacy aud support of those great principles
of free government, for which they erewhile
were wont to deuounce Republicans ns
“spawns oi hell;" they will advise pence and re
union upon the basis of All Rights f*>r All,
whereas they once sought to set son against
father, and father against soil, and I urn our
State into a Pandemonium o haired and
ceaseless contention.

The Enquirer, uo*-r the Million of Fact*

tha former, aud ita capacity to misuse aud fal*
*tfy the latter. Perhaps ita brains have be

ject which is inexcusable in a public journal.
Tho Euquirer object* to tbo public debt

promptly ou the first day of tbo mouth, and
culls this “unprecedented," when any one
who knows anything about tbo matter knows
that it lisa, with one exception, been given to
tho public on the first day of each month
since Mr. Boutwell baa been Secretary of the
Treasury. The second objection is that the
bonds issued aud lent to tho Pucifio Railroad
are uot included in tho monthly statement,
and proceeds to deduct the total umouut of
these bonds from the decrease iu tho debt since
March 1. and thereby figures out an inorease
in the debt. Passing by the fact that the ex
act Aiuouut of tho Pacific Railroad bonds is
given on every statement of the public debt
which Secretary Boutwell has issued, wo will
prescut the official figures of tho state of tho

Richmond, October 7.—In tho Henato tho
protest »>i the Republican caucus against the
legality of tbo body, was taken up and read
at length. It auuouucc* that the Republican
members reserve to tbemselve* the right, at
any time, to secede from tlio present Legisla
ture and orgauizn by themselves a legal and
loyal Legislature. The Senate voted to lay it
on the table. In tho discuRHion a Republican
saiil he regarded those who joined in making
this protest or representing the Administration
and Congress, until the President and Con
gress should decide otherwise.
It wo* announced that Gen. Canby has re
plied to the committco of the Legislature
which wuited ou him, that ho had no com
munication to make.
Gov. Walker ha* sent in his message on the
15th Amendment. Ho says:
“The people of this Commonwealth, at the
lute election, by an overwhelming majority,
accepted and adopted the principle Nought to
be incorporated into tho Constitution by this
amendment, viz: Tho civil and political
equality of all men before the luw. Tho well
known honor and integrity ot the people ot
Virginia forbid even tho supposition that Ihey
would tail to faithfully adhere to and maintain,
while necessary and possible, any principle to
which they had yielded their adherence.—
Virginia always fulfills, iu the most ample
good faith, all her pledges; but our people,
by this action, have not only placed the prac
tical rights of all our citizens upon a firm and
enduring basis, they have accomplished much
more : They have increased the prospective
power and influence of onr State in tho na
tion’s counsels by broadening tho basis of rep
resentation under the fourteenth article of
the Constitution of tho United States. When
in any State the right of suffrage is abridged,
except for crime, the basis of representation
must bo reduced in a corresponding propor
tion. Although we have wisely settled this
question so far ns our State is concerned, aud
banished forever from tho theater of Slate
politics this prolific cause of irritation niul
discord, thero is reasonable ground for appre
hension that if tho Fifteenth Atucndmout
should fail of adoption us a part of tho Fed
eral Constitution, onr State may bo flooded
with and the control thereof pass to tho hands
of a class of emigrants Irorn tbo great States
lying upon or near our borders, who will seek
the enjoyment of those civil and political
rights accorded to them hero but denied to
them there. Self protection, therefore, de
mands that we do onr part towards scouring
the ratification ot that amendment. Our in
i' rests require it, our faith is pledged to it.”
He considers th«: •'lection of Senator* clearly
a requisite to admission, and adds tlmt com
plete r« t*.ration is accomplished bv admission
to representation in Congress, uud there can
be uo question that admission to representa
tion may. to some extent, depend upon tha
presentative* elected. While tho election of
Senators would fully complete every prepar
ation necessary for the prompt admission of
tlu State to representation to both Houses of
Congress, the election of Hiiiluble men for
these exalted positions won 1*1 uumistHkably
demonstrate tho sincerity of onr past action,
and afford a sure quaranteo of onr intentions
and purposes for Clio future.
In conclusion ho says: “Permit mo to con
gratulate yon upo.i the progress already made
towards tho roalOifetiou of tho Statu to civil
government. Its good effect* are already visi-
blo everywhere within tho State. Confidence
is being restored; commerce is reviving; min
ing and manufacturing enterprises rre being
organized; capital is seeking investment in
our public improvements, aud in our rich ag
ricultural and mineral lands, am* above uud
more gratifying than all, joy aud hope are
taking the place of gloom and despondency;
peace and prosperity aro onco more dawning
upon our dcHolatcd laud. CouxcioiiH of the recti-
Ms “I e«r own acts, motives and inteutioDH,
and r* lying upon tho continued favors of the
Almighty Disposer of human cvcnm, lot us ull
manfully grapple with tho living present, aud
confidently hop*' for a glorious tutor* for tho
Commonwealth. "Respect fully
(Signed.) “Gilbert C Walker."
The legislature adjourned after reading
the Governor’s inenhiige.
Th** Gov* rntir iu his message, expresses his
conviction that the Legislature would ratify
the 15th Amendment voluntarily, and even if
it was uot a requisite to admission. He re
commended the appointment at this session
of standing commutes*, and in view of the
fact that onr educational and judiciary system
must be remodeled and placed in harmony
with the Constitution and onr internal im
provements demand tho gravest consideration.
