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.

In onr Democratic platform of Cali fornia, we accept what yon style the “New Departure,” bnt we do not admit here that we have mode any new departure {*«ftot|ik«.

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. G. W.

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 by them always, without forever watch 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.) Commercial, August 30th, 1871. 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.

Let us lirnt 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. — (tcorgia (Wurrcnton) Clipper, 24 Aug., 1871. • POLITICS IN KENTUCKY. are the men vho refused support to the State ticket in the lute canvass; who fur nished all the Radical campaign material in their power, who have never lost an opportunity to slander the candidates, or to niuiepiWnt the Democracy of the State, and who attempt to levy blackmail upon Democrats whenever opportunity is afforded.

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.— Louisville (Ay.)
