The California Democracy.
We very cheerfully giye place to-day
to a letter tea the “Young Oiant” of
the Wert. The tone and spirit of the
letter aterprtriotfe, and true to the Consti
tion throughout With all such Demo
unts we tea oo-operate moat heartily.
Wa ham no objection to those who accept
the "fraudulent amendments" as exiting
fads, while the administration of the
Government is in the hands' of those
who am clothed with power to enforce
them; but who do not tndorte them aa
ffnaUtim. We hail as friends all those
wboaeqnieeoe in them as de facto, bnt
not St jure parts of the organio law. We
have not seen the Democratic Platform
of California upon which the present
canvass in that Slate is conducted; but
have no doubt, from the tone and spirit
of tho letter of one correspondent, that
the differoaee between him and us (bad
we been in the Convention with 1dm)
would have been a difference only as to
farm and not one of subUtmes, as to the
proper language in which tho true poti-
lion should have been set forth.
We have all along said but little about
the Ohio Democratic Platform. It is the
9/A Resolution if the Pennsylvania Harris•
burg Convention against which wo war,
and war to tbo knife I
This is the embodiment of tho “New
Departure" doctrine, against u-hich we so
earnestly protest. This contains the et
sence of what the Hew York World and
all its coadjutors are striving to get
the Democrscy of tho Union to adopt;
and this is just whet onr correspondent
shows that he is quite as little disposed
todoasweom; for aooording to the plain
letter and clear intent of that Resolution,
the object is to get the Democracy every
where, to declare that there was no fraud,
pesftly or usurpation attending the pro
posal ar adoption of theas Amend
ments at all—that they have been incor-
poratad in the organio law "in the manner
and by the authority Constitutionally ap
pointed:” in other words, that they are
not only de facto bnt de jure parts of the
Constitution ; and that all discuaaiou of
the gross usurpations touching their pro
posal and adoption is not only to be dis
countenanced hot "tlvprtoaM.” It is
against this position, and this most
shameful abandonment of all Right, Jus
tice and Truth, that wo war.
Our correspondent says that the Cali
fornia Democrats, in their State platform,
intended only to declare tho three amend
ments am ‘‘a settlement iu fact of ull the
issues of the war etc" and not to aver that
they had been m/uj>/«f according to law,or
that they were in themselves either just
or right. On tho contrary, ho says that
they have "an abiding faith in the inttUi-
genre if the people to pronounce them nutlaud
void at same future day”
This is our position exactly. This wo
believe to be the position of ninety-nine
out of every hundrad of the fit nest masses
of the Democracy In every State of the
Uuion. All that is wuuted for a brilliant
vietory iu 1672, ou these principles and
witli this view is for them to get together
iu common council and sot forth thuir
purposes and principles iu language
which will clearly express their common
ideas, and about whioli there can ho no
mistake or misunderstaudiug.
Wa aay, in conclusion, to our corres
pondent, that while wo shall look with
interest and hope to tho succoaa of his
State tioket in the election so near at
hand; yet, we greatly apprehend that
he will find, when the result of the polls
is known, that the party has been eon
siderably “ hamticappeit” by a Platform
which did not givo full utterance to the
trie sentiment* of the people.

the Constitution recently adopted ns a
settlement in fact of nil the issues ol the
war, and that the same are no longer is
sues before the country,” and this seems
to meet with some objectors throughout
the country. I do not believe that a sin
gle member of our State Convention
meant to say that the amendments were
right and just, or that he indorsed them;
nor do 1 believe that one w ould have ta
ken tho oath of the Medea and Persians
never to change the Constitution when
they find it oppressive, and have power
to do so. We all look on the 16th amend
ment as unjust and un-American, in tak
ing tho control of suffrage from the
States, but at present the amendments
arc in full force, with the whole govern
ment and army to enforce them.
Wo do not admit thut these amend
ments were adopted according to law; we
do not admit their justice; we know they
take the Government too far from the
people, and we have abiding faith in the
intelligence of the ]>eoplc to pronounce
them null and void at some future day,
and to let the States govern their own
suffrage; but at present we consider that
all the issues of tho w ar are settled and
must remain settled until the Democratic
party gets strong enough to undo the
evils and give to tho States their former
sights.
California will be the last State in the
Union that will give up the struggle
for State Bights, for she is iu continual
dread that Congress will confer the right
of suffrage on tho Aaiatic heathens that
are crowding to our coast and taking the
labor from our own race. Wo expect for a
Radical Congress to do this to strengthen
their party,and for that reason we arc terri
bly in earnest in trying to get a Democratic
Congress and Democratic country that
will give back to California the right to
control her suffrage; but yet we can set*
no good to come to us by agitating this
question of the amendments, and there
fore, we let it rest for tho present, and
do ail in our power to repeal the “Bayo
net bifl,” the “Ku-Klux bill,” and to get
the right of franchise for all the white
male citizens of the United States. Af
ter that is accomplished by a Democratic;
Congress, wo will be able to look to the
amendments, and hold then, as we do
now, that we have u perfect right to
change any laws thut we may consider in
jurious to the country.
So far as California is concerned, I do
not believe thut the right of frau
chise will ever ho taken from
the negro, for wo have but
few negro voters in the Htatc, and they
are with but few exceptions native-born
Americans; but wo claim the right to say
who shall or shall not vote in California;
and if we ever get the power in Congress
we intend to exercise that right, notwith
standing that some of our Southern
friends say with our opponents, that we
have made a “New Departure.”
Our canvass is the most exciting that I
have ever witnessed, and both parties are
working hard to wiu the fight; and if we
succeed, you Georgians may set us Dem
ocrats down as a happy party; but if we
must die (though we fully expect to win)
we will die like men, auu work harder at
the next election.
I intended to say something of the
condition of our delightful State, hut my
letter is long enough. I will only say
that notwithstanding we have a dry year,
onr people ar© probably as independent
os any State iu tho Union can boast of.

We aay in our pisiform, “that we re

If the principles of Democracy w
correct twenty years ago they are correct
to-day. If to be a 1 )euiocn\11 wenty years
ago was to bo u Bourbon, wc are a Bour
bon to-day.
The principles of Democracy are based
upon the true nature of (ho general gov
orument, and are applicable only to its
federative system. So long as this fed
erutive system lasts, just so long will
there be found honest advocates of those
principles and truths we call Democratic
and wnich were first enunciated by Thom
as Jefferson. We believe in the Democ
racy that boldly and fearlessly announces
its policy and principles, and w ill stand

ing for a plank in tho enemy's platform
X u which to jump and cry “all is lost.”
are of that class who believe in the
old Jeffersonian theory of government,
aud arc in favor of squaring our princi
ples and measures with that theory.
If this bo Bourbouism then we ore a
Bourbon.
The State Rigid© policy of the Demo
cratic party has always been recognized
as one of the cardinal principles of that
organization It bos never believed that
the general government, rightly const met
ed and interpreted, was national iu its
character. The ‘system is federativ
The general government was created by
the tttates who delegated to it all its
pow ers, reserving certain (lowers to them
selves, and making the acts of Congress
supremo only in so far as that body acts
within the restrictions placed around it
and within the scope of the agency dele
gated by tho Constitution. No hruucli
of the general government possejwea any
Constitutionl or legitimate power to in
terfere with tho quoatious of domestic
concern wbioh tho (States reserved to
themselves for respective determination.
The Democrats have maintained and
supported those briefly stated principles
as cardinal points in tlieir profession of
faith from timo immemorial. W© hoar
tily endorse them, as they have been en
dorsed by Democrat* whoso name aud
fame will never die, They are, to-day,
the only true and correct principles of
Democracy. They are time-honored and
timo-tried, and n(>ou their success de
pends tho hope and salvation of the
United States. In the same proportion
that the Democracy “depart” from the
true principles ami deride and trample
them under foot, will Des}K>tism and
Centralism grow and flourish. To “de
port” from tho doctriuo of States' Right
is to open tho way for an absolute con
solidated government that will wipe out
the checks and balances of tho federa
tive system.
If Bourbonism teaches this, we are a
red-hot Bourbon, in whom they say there
can be no ehango. We do not want to
ohauge from these old principles—we can
see no oause for change. Tho federal gov
eminent grew and pnuqicred under ad
ministrations founded upon these princi
ples. Is there a good and true Democrat
ho wants a change? Can any good ho
^oomplished by “ departing” from the
e faith to mongrelism.
If we yield our old doctrino, aud iuch
inch, and principle after principle,
wider to the never ccaaiug demands
a bloated Radicalism; if we withdraw
n the contest just as wo can discern
glorious light of victory; if we strike
colors to an enemy iu full retreat; if
accept the doctrine that Congress is
i master and maker of States, and the
creator instead of the creature, of our
sovereign ties, then with what legal con
sistency and fairness can we claim to be
Democrats, and combat the ruinous poli
cy of the liadi party.
The whole make up of tho “New De-
parturite.V’ is a mixed fraud, half Radioal
and half Democrat, based upon polioy
without the first element of principle, with
not a sufficiency of courage to boldly take
any decided atand, but like the sycophant j
of every age, tries to split the middle, and
thereby secures the scorn aud contempt
of tho good of both parties.
We want to see no set of progression
ists, currying Radical chains, going
around our old landmarks to establish a
new line. Tho survey was made years
ago, tho calls established; and tho Demo
cratic needle never varies.—Route ((fa.)

Thr New Departure.
The “ Hew Departure* is >i cowardly
abandonment of Democratic principles—a
knavish somersault from the true faith to
Monyrelism. Its Only claim upon the sup
port of honest men is that it is a piece of
diplomatic hypocrisy. It hicks the wisdom
of conservatism; the aut lac ions strength of
Jiourbonism, and the turbulent glory of
“progressive.” fanaticism. Jl is lurne, in
capable, deceitful! Its triumph is a Radi
cal victory ! Its defeat is a fitting conse
quence of its lying stupidity.—Rome {(Ja.)
Commercial Aug. 30th 1871.
From the Georgia Clipper, Warren tun, August 34, *7L
“Victory Is Wlut We Wust.”
The Atlanta Cotistitution is of opinion
that opposition to the “ New Departure”
will supply the Radical party with
wcupous to defeat the Western and
Northern Democracy iu tlieir State elec
tions, and denounces agitation of the
same os suicidal.
Did opposition to, aud agitation of,
the ‘now departure’ defeat Democracy in
Kentucky, Mr. Constitution ? Not by any
means. Old Kentucky was carried over
whelmingly for Democracy—old time,
Jeffersonian Democracy; and this in the
ict; of the “opposition and agitation’
bich tho Omstilution thinks is ‘suicidal!’
Now, let us see what the “New Depar
ture-opposition to which,the Constitution
says, will defeat theWestern aud Northern
Democracy in their State elections’—has
done for the Western Democracy. In
the recent canvass in Montana, the ‘New
Departure’ was adopted and industriously
disseminated us the infallible panacea
which was to combine and unite every
discordant element of opposition to Rad
ical misrule uml usurpation. Wbut was
the result? Why, Montana, which was
carried for the Democracy in 18G0, upon
tho lust National Democratic platform,
by a handsome majority, has been lost to
Democracy, and curried by 1,000 majori
ty for Radicalism! Yet, with these facts
staring them in tho face, the Constitution
sees fit to reproduce, as advice to tho
Democracy of Georgia, counsels which
actual events have proved fallacious.
Iu the same article occurs the follow
ing sensible paragraph, which we heartily
approve:
The defeat of ItadiealiHiu demand* our find con
sideration. To a ween from tbo administration of
tb« government tbe destroyers, allko of the Consti*
tution, tho rights of tbo States, the peace and well-
faro of an outraged, tax-ridden and plundered peo
ple, 1h tbo paramount object. Our llr*t duty 1h to
Htriko down tbo nm*t corrupt party that ever dis

rtMcuo tbe government from centralists sndkusvcu,
and put it iuto tin* handn of a Go4-foariug. Consti-
tution-loviug, right-respecting, bgucst party.
Now, we must confess our inability to
see how Radicalism can ho defeated by
admittiug thut the measures which that
party labored for years to fasten upon
the people, and finally accomplished by
force and fraud,are right aud legal amend
men is, not to be disturbed. In other
words, how can Democracy “sweep from
the administration of the government
the destroyers alike of tho Constitution,
the rights of the States, tho wellfare
of an outraged, tax-zidden and plun
dered people,” by adopting their plat
form the very measures (the XIVth and
XVth amemunenti) which have destroy
ed the Constitution, obliterated State
rights and enabled Radicalism to over
ride and plunder our people V How does
the Constitution propose to “strike down
tho most corrupt party that ever dis
graced history,” if not by discussion and
repudiation of their nets ? Are you fight
ing meu or measures ? If men you can
remaiu silent; if measures you must dc-
nouuee those who rob you and your peo
ple of tho rights of American freemen,
disfranchises you aud other noble, brave
and intelligent Southerners, and places
upon the bench and iu legislative halls
ignorance, vice and stupidity.
Victory is what wo want, but facts—
stubborn facts, ns taught by the Ken
tucky and Montana elections—prove that
no expedient, be it ever so cunningly de
vised, can ho successfully substituted for
principle. We do not question tho hon
esty of the Constitution's convictions, but
wo do think that tho actual tests alluded
to should warn it of the error of its logic.

in their power, who have never lost an

That such meu as these would sell out to 1
Radicalism is natural, and that they have |
sold out to the administration there cuu
scarcely be a doubt. That they have
charge of the new departure movement
iu Kentucky, and are endeavoring to ma
nipulate it iu the interests of the Radical
party, is absolutely certuiu.
The Commercial is eminently correct
when it says that “such a man to all in
tents and purposes is a Radical.” And it
is equally correct iu the claim that “a New
Departure Democrat, is, iu plain words,
a Republicauized Democrat. He is one
who has accepted tbe distinctive aud car
dinal articles of the Radical creed.” But
our Radical cotemporary is mistaken in
the supposition that by a fusion of Radi
cal and New Departure disciples—i. e., of
Democrats who “would not avoid the
amendments if they could”—tho State
can be transferred from Democratic con
trol. Such fusion would not weaken the
Democracy a thousand votes in the State.
In fact the recent magnificent victory of
Governor Leslie was won over just such
fusion. The Courier-Journal exerted
whatever of influence it has against Gov
eruor Leslie and in favor of General Har
hm, as every one knows, and by its mode
of warfare—inuendo and insinuation;
its attempts to damn with faint praise;
its use of the tactics of the assassin—it
was enabled to effect quite as much, if
not more, than it could have done by an
open advocacy of the Radical candidate.
Such was its opinion, and this is the
reason why an open war was not made
upon the Demoratic ticket.
When honest men seo the tendency of
the movement in Kentucky, they will
drop the New Departure, will wash their
hands of it, and return to their proper
places in the Democratic household.—

Tho question is sometimes asked by
those who have not read the paper, “Is the
Democratic Statesman a New Departure
journal?”
Upon that subject our answer is short,
plain and to the point—no 1
This paper is planted on the Democrat
ic Platform adopted by the general con
vention which met at the city of Austin,
January’ 23, 1871. There ia no such idea
or expression in it We can neither be
begged nor driven into any kind of de
parture from it.
In fighting tbe common enemy, an in
vitation is extended to all good men,
“whatever may have been their past po
litical preferences, to unite with the Dem
ocratic party in removing from place and
power those who now control the State
Government, in order to release the peo
ple from oppressive revenue and unequal
taxation, to insure an honest administra
tion of tho law s and an honest and eco
nomical expenditure of the public mon
eys, and to throw tho icgis of justice aud
protection over the person and property
of every individual whatsoever iu the
State of Texas,” iu tho language of tho
platform itself.
We fight standing on that platform,and
most earnestly desire that every good
man within tho brood limits of the State
will como to our help, and the help of
the Democracy, to aid in putting a stop
to the vice, demoralization and crime,
now daily, if not hourly, perpetrated by
the thieves, robbers and cut-throats, who
in one shapo and another control the
State Government. As a Democratic

tory has been won it will be time enough
to discuss what shall or shall not go into,
aud moko oart of tho next platform,

forms shall he adopted, this paper will bo
found standing “flat-footed” on them,
and working with all its power to achieve
success for tho party and uphold its
