THE DAILY SUN Wldni&dat Mobnino Joit* 21 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 .,t . .. . .; headlong aa iibaabaaa on high road of imperialism, fettered with monstrous debt, oppraants taxation and discord breeding laam How will be illumined her deep per plexities ami vast oonoerns, with what 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 tion*—entangling allianoes with none; the support of the State government* in all their-rights, as the moat competent ad m i n istrations for oar domestic oonoerns and the surest bulwarks against anti-re publican tendencies; the preservation of the general government in itB whelscon stitutional vifp>r aa the sheet-anchor of our peace at home and safety abroad; a jealous care of the right of election by the people—a mild ami safe corrective of 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 any measure—the yerv object of it* ex- j(j huJ f or the first moments of war, “ 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 sert and maintain those living issues, that wise and praotioal policy for the present and tiie future whioh the people have a right to expect from a party rising to as sume oontrol of tho government And the Democratic doctrines of the then, of Jefferson and Madison and Jackson* concerning the supremacy of the Constitution of tne Union, the inde fectible tights of titatea, -the vigilant guardianship of civil liberty, the uarruw- GlC Of the area of government, freedom of industry Mid a denial of the power of sU to the few monopolists who, with pro tective tariffs Mid partial taxes, "take from the month of tabor the breed it has earned”—these doctrines will never hevd — . - ... _ had so shining Ml illustration of their nominated on the 2Ut, says ii don't truth and wisdom as when lighting tho know, nml can’t tell until it sees who ere future pathway of the greet republic; nominated end how they ere presented. leads to plaice, liberty and safety.” . ii — 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 •lawtiltl Is* 1111 ltAUC 111 (a.

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.
