K “The I’atb of Victory.”
We publish in another column of to-
day’s issue a n article from the New York
World, under the above caption.
From this article, it (teems that the
World ia veering towards the right, so
far as relates to principle*, but still re
mains egrogiously wrong so far as relates
to policy.
The sure “path to victory” now is the
same as that pointed out by Jefferson in
the great civic struggle of 1798-99. Let
the Democracy make the fight upon the
principles of Jefferson’s Inaugural in
1801 (the last paragraph of the World'*
article) and a most signal triumph will
be achieved by them in 1872. We want
no better platform.
Now, whether the World is really in
iest in what is here set forth with so
uch seeming fervor and patriotism, we
it to say that we are compelled to
ueation. Among others, the following
some of our reasons for doubting.
1st What Mr. Jefferson meant by “the
support of the State Governments in all
their rights,” is well known. It was well
understood at that time, and there has
ever been any question about it since,
e had just been elected in one of the
ost exciting political contests ever
nown in this country, before or since,
and had achieved the victory, leading the
Democracy in their rescue of the liber
ties of tin* people, from the grasp of the
Centralists and Imperialists of those
days.
With the bold and unfaltering an
nouncement that the powers of the Gen
eral Government were definite—that they
were delegated—and that each State had
reserved to itself all “the residuary mass
of right to their own self-government; and
that irhensoever the General Government
ns*Nines undelcgrUetlpower* Us ads are unau-
thoritatire, void and qf no force."
Now, does tho World really mean to be
understood ns standing upon the truth of
this declaration, on which Jefferson won
the fight against such odds in 1800?
If so, why did that paper oppose the New
York Democratic platform in 18G8? and
why does it now insist upon any “De
parture” from its essential principles in
the fut ire? Was it not essentially the
same as that of Mr. Jefferson, so far as it
related to the rights of the States and the
usurpations of Congress?
2d. If tho World intends truly and
firmly to stand upon the Jeffersonian
Platform, how can it indorse the 9th Res
olution of the late Harrisburg (Pa.) Plat
form, which asserts that the striking down
of ten States of the Union, and tramp
ling upon all their rights by a majority
faction in Congress, was done in the man
ner and by the power constitutionally ap
pointed ?
3d. Another reason for our doubt as to
the sincerity of the World in thin matter.
_ • w - — *•“' £t icu in Uie ar
ticle which wo publish to-day, for the
“New Departure” as a question of policy.
These seem to us most singular and ut
terly unsound.
The argument amounts to this : That
the Democrats must obtain the votes of
some Republicans in 1872, or their cause
will be hopeless. A number of Repub
licans, it is argued, have become satisfied
that their party has acted wrong, and that
even they themselves, have supported
measures which are misoiiievous, but they
cannot bo induced “to ornud themselves
with dishonor,” by putting themselves
upon a Platform which holds these meas
ures up for popular condemnation.
Now is it really true that any Republi
can votes are necessary for Democratic
success under the Platform of 1868 ? This
may be so, and yet it may be questioned.
That Platform received 2,648,830 votes.
The number of votes cast against it was
2,986,031. The popular majority in the
United States agaiust it was only
336,201 votes. This majority would
have beenmore than overcome, but
for the usurpations of Congress, by
which tho people of the States
of Virginia, Missouri, and Texas, were
denied the right to vote, and for other
like usurpations, by which thousands of
Democrats were disfranchised in Tenues
see and Missouri, to say nothing of other
States. We give it as our opiuion that
but for the grossest of usurpations by
Congress in the disfranchisement of the
States alluded to, the popular majority
would have been in favor of the New
York Platform of 1868. These disfran
chisements no longer exist
Who then can assume as fact that the
majority of the people of the United
States, to-day, are not ready to stand
squarely upon the same platform, with
out the accession of a single disaffected
Radical vote?
But, for the sake of argument, suppose
it to be otherwise. How many Radicals,
or dissatisfied Republicans, docs the*
World thiuk would vote the Democratic
ticket upon such a platform as will not
require any sacrifice of principle or con
sistency on their part? Does it put the
number at one, two or throe huudrid
thousand? Or does it run the figures up
to four hundred thousand? Then, w«
ask, is it good policy, or rigid in itself, to
call upon the two million si.c hundred anil
odd thousand Democrats to dishonor them
selves by indorsing measures which they
have most solcmuly pronounced to be
usurpations, iu order to save the honor,
or even consistency, of those compara
tively few Republicans who now seek
Democratic alliance to save themselves
from the results of their own misdeeds?
8hallt they come to the Democracy, or
shall the Democracy abandon its prin
ciples and go to them, and mount their
platform? If as many os five hundred
thousand Radicals cun be secured on
these terms, will not more than five kin
dred thousand Democrat* be a* scu.-dtive
of their honor as those Radicals sought
to be obtained in this way ? It is not “in
human nature” to be otherwise.
On the point of honor, v. o have this to
say to both Radicals and DfanoflHts: If
any of the former are oonvineel that they
have done wrong, it it highly honorable
to admit the (sot and notify the wrong
an far as possible. If anj Democrat has
changed his opinion and oome to the
oonelnsion that the Radical rouor was
right, then it is not dishonorable for
him to say so; bnt when he does it, the
only honorable oonrse for him to pursue
afterwards is to go and join that party.
The World says that no party oan hope
to succeed whose only ground of appeal
to the people is opposition to the sets of
its adversary. This is the substance of
the remark. We say that no party ooght
to succeed, which goes before the people
in a party contest upon any other grounds.
Prinoipies and administrative acts mark
parties—not the men who head them. A
party in power ought to be turned out, if
at all, for its mitdeedt. If its sets be
right, if its policy is not to be reversed or
assailed, it ought to be sustained by all
who so believe.
It was for their miedeedt that Jefferson
arraigned the Imperialists of his day. It
was for these and these only, that he
brought both the authors and their meas
ures under public condemnation. His
platform was the right one. “In hoc
gig no pin ces, ” we now nay to the De
mocracy of tho Union. This points out
the 'true' path to victory.”
The New York “Journal of
Comuaerce.”
We copy with pleasure the following
very sensible and pertinent remarks of
this old Democratic organ, on the pres
ent situation and fntnre political pros-
peote of the country. We oommend to
the attention of our readers, what is said
by this staunch and sterling sheet of
other days. It is in those words:
'There is no longer any fear from the
Republican party. Its power has ceased
to be absolute. Bnt there is great appre
hension that the Democratic party, rap
idly coming into power, and very soon to
possess a supremacy in nearly all the
States, will follow the bad precedent*
whieli have been set, and will even for
got its own boasted doctrine of State
rights. We are fully prepared to see the
representation of States in the Senate of
the United States made a serious ques
tion, and the Constitution amended bo as
to strike out the prohibition against in
terference with that representation.—
Demagogues will soon demand in the
cuuseof centralization why Rhode Island
should have equal power with the great
Western States or the mighty Empire
State ? The education of the past few
years has taught the people to think that
“State righta" isadootnneof Beoession-
ism, and that there is no right or power
belonging to a State which the “United
States" cannot assume or exeroise. Wit
ness the so-called Kn-Klux law of the
Inst Congress and the extensive approval
of it.
“Is it possible to arrest the downward
progress of the ConBtstution and stop
where we now are ? This is a grand
question just now. It is beyond dispute
that tho States which formed the Union
and adopted the Constitution never
dreamed that the power of amendment
givon in the Constitution would be inter
would deprive States of thsir reserved
powers without their consent If they
had supposed such results would ensue,
not one of the thirteen States would have
ratified the Constitution. They intend
ed that the reserved powers should for
ever rest inalienable in the people of the
several States, or alienable only by oon-
seut But times have changed. And
now is the time for men to look at the
Constitution and the reserved powers of
the States and decide whether the future
shall be as the past
What tho Journal (J Commerce here
iys about tho RopnbUcan party is true,
And the caution it gives to the Democrat
ic party is no less prudent and sagacious
than timely.
THAT UNMANNERLY COR
RESPONDENT.
A Just Rebuke.
Our neighbor of the New Era of
yesterday, contains the following
very just commeutson the ungentle-
manly conduct of Mr. Smalley, of
the New York Tribune. What is
said by the editor of the Era is well
said, and i very way correct, appro
priate and commendable:
Smai.i.bv and Mu. Stkphkhs.—
In his recent letters to the Tribune,
written from this State, Mr. Smalley
■'as allown how easily a stranger
may lie deceived by mere appear
ances. He has also succeeded in
showing how an ill-bred man, full of
self-assertion, may attain to a respec
table jKisition in journalism; how, by
means of this ]>osition, he may gain
admittance to the private residences
of gentlemen of opposing political
views; and how, by his report of an
interview, he cun abuse the sacred
fights of hospitality and violate this
pledge without the least show of
contrition.
We have published three of Mr.
Smalley’s letters, because they re
lated to local attain and local poli
ticians. As a news journal we could
scarcely have done less. But to per
mit such diatribes to go before our
readers without comment or dis
claimer as to their accuracy of state
ment would be a stupid dereliction
of duty. We therefore feel in duty
Umnd to say that there is much in
tlioso publications upon which no re
liance whatever can be placed. And,
judging from his past efforts, from
his matchless vanity, and from his
very limited knowledge of the situa
tion and public men tn Georgia, we
may look for more of the same stamp.
With Mr. .Stephens, politically, we
differ us widely as [icrhaps it is possi
ble for men to differ. Bnt this differ
ence is believed to be an honest one.
It is certainly honest on oar part, and
that Mr. Stephens is equally consci
entious we have no reason to doubt
flencc, ,thlB difference ought not to
destroy mutual respect Certainly sn
intelligent and liberal minded journ
alist ought to lie able to partake of
the hospitalities of a political antag
onist in the capacity of a profession
al or private gentleman, without
yielding to the promptings of vanity
sufficiently far as to betray the rights
A> l«*v:
of hospitality, or to ignore those cour
tesies which saw so well understood
and so universally reqagnized among
gentlemen of character and standing
everywhere.
From what we have seen and heard
of Mr. Smalley, we can but express
surprise that a journal at once so able
and high toned as tho New York
Tribune should recognize him as one
of its accredited correspondents. His
letters from this section show that
his opinions are hastily formed, easi
ly changed, and, perhaps, not wholly
impossible of accommodation to those
very influences which he so depre
cates in a section where, according to
his impression, there is so little ol
character and political integrity.
The Path to Victor)'.
From the New York World.
The object of a political party is to sc
care good government. Absolute per
fection in the administration of public
affaire is not attainable, nor is it always
possible for a party to obtain popular ap
proval for all the measure* which it may
deem desirable. Without popular up

How will be illumined her deep per

radiance will this oonatellation of kindred
States move and shine, when again ato
ned by the Democracy of Jefferson’s in
augural address: '
“The essential principles ot oof gov
ernment and those which ought to shape
its administration. Equal and exact jna-
tice to all men of whatever slate or per-
tmasion, religious or political; hence, oom-
ineroe, and honest friendship with all na

abuses which are lopped by the sword of
revolution where peaceable remedies are
unprovided; absolute acquiescence in the
decisions of the majority—the vital prin
ciple of republics from which there is no
appeal but to force, the vital principle
and immediate parent of despotism; a
proval it oannot gain the power to cam , wo ji. t |iocsiplitiedl militia, our beat reliance

“ till regulars may relieve them; the su
premacy of the civil over the military au
thority; economy in the public expense,
thu* labor may bo lightly burdened; the
honest payment of onr debts and sacred
preservation of the publio faith; enoour-
agemeut of agriculture and of commerce
us it* handmaid; the diffusion of infor
mation and the arraignment of all abuses
at the bar of public reason; freedom of
religion; freedom of the press; freedom
of person unde* the protection of the
habeas corpus; and trial by its juries im
partially selected—these prinoipies form
the bright constellation which nas gone
before u* and guided our steps through
an age of revolution and reformation.
The wisdom of our *ages and the blood
of our heroes have been devoted to their
attainment,. They should be the creed
of our political faith—the text of civil
instruction—the touchstone by which to
try the services of those we trust; and
should we wander from them in momenta
of error and alarm let ns hasten to retrace
steps and regain the road which alone
, bject
istence as a party is defeated if, by
manding changes which public opinion
does not sustain, it fails of the power to
carry any. Hence in practical working,
men cannot reasonably insist that a party
shall demand every change which they
deem theoretically or even practically de
sirable ; it is the duty of a party where
suffrage is universal to move as far aud as
rapidly in the direction of good govern
ment as it can with popular support.
Rales as simple as these will bo readily
accepted in general terms, but when the,)
are applied to determine what policy a
party should adopt iu a given emergency
men are not always ready to abide the
result. Thus it was apparent to intelli
gent men in 1868 that public opinion
would not sustain the course which some
Democrats desired ; but notwithstanding
the oounsel earnestly given by tlii* and
other journals that course was chosen.—
Four years more of Radical misrule,
Grant’s administration with steadily in
creasing concentration of power, and a
continuance of burdensome and unjust
taxation, are consequences which every
Democrat can now trace to the mistaken
policy of 1868. The taunt of onr adver
saries that they had once more won pow
er through Democratic blunders was not
needed to impress upon the minds of
sensible men the truth that a party has
no right to throw away the good which
can be achieved, in a vain attempt at the
impracticable.
The Democracy has ere long to prepare
for the next Presidental contest. It is
the duty of the party, therefore, to ask,
not whether this or that declaration may
be abstractly truthful, nor whether this
or that measure may be theoretically de
sirable, but what changes in the direction
of good government public opinion will
sustain. To accomplish anything of prac
tical good there arc needed tho votes ot
some citizens who supported tin* R pub
lican tickets in 1866 and 1868. Upon
what terms, consistent with Democratic
principles, can the support of such citi
zens be obtained?
It is never easy for men to acknowledge
that what they have done was wrong.—
Acting from honest impulses, 1< t us sup
pose Smith voted for reconstruction in
1866, for Grant in 1868, and for negro
suflVage in 1869. He sees that recun-
otiuiJiYuii um« not uuctw tne ucsimf Iruir,
that “let us have peace,” in the mouth of
Grant, really meant continuance of the
war spirit and war measures; and that
negro ballots by no moans bring the mil
leunimn. But if asked tocoudemu tlicsi
acts, to denounoo them as wicked, uncon
stitutioDal, or unpatriotic, he recalls the
honest impulses under which lie acted,
and responds: “Things have not turned
out as I expected, but I meant it for good.
I am willing to undo whatever can be or
ought to be undone, but I will not vote
to brand myself with dishonor.” There
upon Smith, who wants every practical
reform which Democrats desire, might
nevertheless feel obliged to vote the Re
publican ticket
Nor is it tho sole practical duty of party
to denounce the misdeeds of yesterday.
The business of practical men is with the
present and the future, not alone with the
past Nor can a party hope to succeed
which has no other ground for appeal to
public confidence than zeal in dcnounc
ing the errors of others. Promises go
nearer to the hearts of men than criti
cism. Place before the people two par
ties of which one pledges reforms in the
future while the other condemns the
vrongs of the past, and the former will
have the advantage. What men want
when they vote is not to lecturo some
body for whafc has been done, but to se
cure for the future such changes as their
interests demand.
A large element in the Republican
party stands ready to demand tne instant
arrest of those extreme measures which
the war spirit prompted, but which, it is
now perceived, only keep alive ill-feeding
at the South, while they lead to danger
ous concentration of power and depart
ure from constitutional limits. From
this day on, that element desires just
what Democrats desire—amnesty, peace,
respect for local and State governments,
return to atriot constitutional limitations.
Yet that name element, if asked to de
nounce reconstruction or enforcement
acts, would refuse. In the middle of
such men the oircumstauces and feelings
of the past ore sufficient excuse for ocb
then adopted. A like clement stands
ready to vote and work for a reduction of
the tariff to a revenue basis. As to the
future, it desires just what Democrats
have long demanded. Yet many of those
very men, if called upon to denounce the
adoption of extreme tariffs during the
last deoade, under the mistaken idea that
necessities of war or publio credit re-
0aired such duties, might refuse. They
desire reform. They do not desire to
oonfess anv sins or blunders of the past.
This may be weak, illogical, unreasona
ble, but it ia human nature. That party
wins whioh estimates human nature most
correctly.
The Democratic party may hope to com
mand such support as to insure its tri
umph if, oontented that its criticism of
the past has been by events abundantly
vindicated in the minds of most honest
citizens, and having ouenly discarded the
dead issues upon which Senator Morton
(Graut imminentiu) sought to force it to
fight the battle of 1872 ; it shall now as

Kenton and Grant.
The New York Sun rises to ex
plain between Fenton aud Grant as
follows:
A prominent Democratic journal
suys miller all the turmoil and con
fusion which characterize the chaotic
mid disrupted condition of the Re
publican party in New York, “is the
sleepless hostility of Fenton toward
Grant.”
Wlmt evidence can be produced to
show that Senator Fenton is hostile
toward Gen. Grant? He has sup
ported every measure of the Repub
lican party; and he has voted for all
llie nominees of the President, ex
cept one or two whoBe nominations
were siH'eial acts of hostility to him
self. Whenever he has had occusion
to speak publicly upon the matter,
he has counselled forbearance and
conciliation. Compared with this
great object, he has said, Republicans

Without provocation, and appa
rently without a reasonable purpose,
Gen. Grant opened a violent war upon
the Senator. That war he still con
tinues. He shows a hostility which
indeed is sleepless. As yet he has
certainly gained nothing by his at
tacks; while Senator Fenton has
merely pursued the course of pru
dence, forbearance and devotion to
the principles of his party. For these
principle; (icu. G rant, of course, cares
little, since he never professed to em
brace tin .n until he was nominated
for the Presidency. What he cares
for supremely is to secure his own re-
uomiuatioli. It would lie a curious
result if he should attain this purpose
by dividing the party everywhere,
and exhibiting a hitter and relent
less hostility toward a Republican
leader so prominent and so popular
as Senator Pen ton.

Death of Mr. Charles B* Cluskejr.
A telegraphic dispatch received yester
day announces the death ol the father ot
Col. M.W. (Huskey of this city, at Bruns
wick, Georgia, on Wedtiosday. Charles
13. Cluskey was born in Kings county,
Ireland. IBs father, himself the dis
tingnished architect of Charlemagne
Castle, gave his son a thorough, practi
cal, and scientific education to tit him for
the profession of architect and Engineer-
lu 1829 he emigrated to GebrgiUt and
was soon on gaged in the construction of
many public and private buildings and
works. The Medical College of August a,
Georgia, was of his design and construc
tion, as well a* others too numerous to
mention, in a residence of eighteen
years. In 1845 he was city engineer of
Savannah, which office he held until his
removal to Washington City, in 1847,
where he was employed by Congress to
>uako a thorough examination of the pub
lie buildings, and most of his suggestion?
aa to improvements were adopted. He
was also appointed Engiueer of the oity
of Washington, and also Superintendent
of one of its most important public
works. He was eugaged in various pro
fessional duties in Washington, and was
at the time of his death erecting a large
light house for the Government on St.
Simon’s Island, near Brunswick, Geor
gia, where he died. His remains are en
route to Washington, where they will be
