The “Departure” or the Consti
tution!
The "New Departure” dodge was
unquestionably shaped to reconcile
the large body of Democrats who had
back-8lided on the war question and
permitted the Abolitionists to drag
them to a field of blood on the false
pretext that they were to fight for the
flag and the Union. Besides these
there were a great many old Whigs
in the North sentimentally op
posed to slavery, and who were more
eaisily seduced by Lincoln, Wendell
Phillips and the Abolition leaders.—
Both of these classes now see how trans
parent was the cheat put upon them
so far as "the flag” and "the Union”
were concerned. It is ten years since
the war begun, and we have no Union
yet, while the flag and the protection
which it emblems are still refused to
a large part of the American people
TheWhig sentimentalists of the North
are now relieved from one of their
difficulties by the elimination of the
slavery question from the political
issues of the day. Both of these
classes, which have gone so far to
keep the Radical party in power, are
sick of the extravagance and tyran
nical tendencies of the Grant admin
istration, and naturally gravitate for
relief towards the Democracy.
The "new departure” was invented
—or rather, it was so pretended—as a
bridge to bear these voters back to the
Democratic fold. If it were no more
than a bridge to pass them safely over
it would have been all right, for the
Democratic tent is wide open to re
ceive and embrace all who honestly
come to it as fellow' soldiers to save
the Government from its present
peril, of becoming hardened into the
despotic form. But there is good rea
son to believe that the “ new’ depar
ture,” so far from being a bridge to
pass new members into the Democrat
ic camp, is a bridge that lures and
marches the Democratic camp over
to Radical Mongrelism. It is one
thing to invite recruits into the Dem
ocratic temple, but it is another thing
to demolish that temple and to build
a new one after Radical pattern, in
order to make it entirely acceptable
to the r.ew recruits. The New Y<_rk
Day Book pithily expresses the
thought in these words:
But now we are told by the organ of
the ’‘Departure” [the World] that these
old deserters “ yearu for the old faith,
and want to come back !” Very well! if
they “yearn for the old faith,” let them
come back to it—our arms shall be open
to receive them ; but if, instead of coming
back to the old faith, they want the “old
faith” upset altogether, and the prinoi
such a course would be just as strong
as they are now for- dodging the
amendments secured by fraud, perfidy
and the bayonet, which brc-ak down
local rights, wipe out State lines and
draw all the pow’ers of 1 sovereignly to
central seat of government. And this
question is to be answered: when tyr
anny encroaches on the rights of a
people, when is the proper and safe
time to resist it, at the first step or
the last ? In answer to the question
we quote froin a man who has made
the science of government, and es
pecially the organic laws of the Uni
ted States Government, the study of
his lifer—a man w r ho deserves the title
of statesman, if any man does on this
continent. Mr. A. H, Stephens,- .of
Georgia, wrote the following within a
few days past:
Some misguided Democratic partisans
may think that all they can accomplish
at the next election, is to save themselves
from worse evils than those now upon
them, and that even this can be done by
not only ceasing to denounce usurpations,
but by sanctioning all of them, so far as
the past is concerned; and in this way
they propose to make an effort, at least,
to secure what is left of liberty. These
men are hot statesmen. If they were
they would know that “what of. liberty”
they consider as left, can never be saved
or secured by the course they recommend.
Power is ever progressive and aggressive
—ever grasping and encroaching. Give
it an inch, and it never fails soon to
claim and take an ell. If it is to be suc
cessfully restrained in the end, it must be
met at the threshold; and there persistent
ly resisted, .without terms or quarters.—
If the citadel be voluntarily yielded, the
outposts will be taken as a matter of
course. If bold and avowed usurpations,
based upon “fraud, perfidy and violence,”
and in violation of every civil right, of
seven millions of people, be once sanc
tioned as rightful acts—not to be ques
tioned—upon what rational grounds can
sensible men be inspired with any hope
of saving, by the greatest possible exer
tions, anything that may be supposed to
be left of popular right ?
And again, When charged with a
purpose to rule or ruin the Demo
cratic party, and a desire to write its
platform against its own wishes, he
says, addressing the Montgomery Ad
vertiser :
Be further assured, gentlemen, we have ‘
no desire or inclination to write any plat
form for the Democracy. We want no
neio platform written for them by any
body. Our whole soul is enlisted in urg
ing them not to abandon that one created
for them by Mr. Jefferson, (not by Mr.
Calhoun,) and upon which they have
stood so long. This platform is planted,
upon the ramparts of the Constitution.
Our appeal is, “Never abandon it; never
depart from it!”
Here is something to stir a true
man’s soul. How different from a
" departure,” that when pressed for a
solution of its meaning, is at once
whittled down to th - paltry dimen
sions of a mere party dodge. If it be
true that the people of this country
cannot be aroused to vote for their
grand liberties under the Constitu
tion of their fathers, but have to be
coaxed aud wheedled and fooled into

we wish to know if this people are fit
we can tell them and their conscienceless
tools, the departurists, that there is a re
deeming and unyielding majority of the
honest old Democratic party which will
never consent to move bodily into the
“new” negro shed for this luxury of living
harmoniously with all the renegades from
the time-honored priciples of Democracy.
And we believe that there are more “old
line Whigs” in the negro party, who are
heartily aick and ashamed of its crimes
(and who are prepared to come to the
“old faith of Democracy,”) than there
are renegade ^Democrats in that camp.
And they will come as honest converts to
the “old faith” on which the Republic
was reared by the fathers.
Now, when the "Departurites”
come to answer this objection, and
the other grave one, that they are
abandoning their life-time safe posi
tion on the ramparts of the Consti
tution, that they never fail to become
foggy. They repudiate, at once and
indignantly, the thought that they
approve the amendments which they
are trying to ignore, and are obliged
to admit that the “departure” in only

It is a mere "dodge” unworthy of

the originators of the dodge, and yet
freely admit that it may have many
honest followers, who think they find
in it the realization of tlieir darling
wish to save the Constitution from
the hands of Radical destructives.
It looks to us, we must confess, as
if the idea really had not its origin

Democratic party. We have seen

his condition. We do not believe,
from our careful observation of the
course of public opinion upon the
"departure,” that the Democratic
masses can be brought to stand upon
it. And we feel quite sure that when
it comes to be analyzed in the Na
tional Convention next year, a great
majority will be found that prefer to
stand boldly against fraudulent inter
polations in the Constitution to white
washing them as dead issues. Sup
pose there had been an amendment
declaring Grant Emperor and order
ing that the sceptre should pass to the
feeble descendants of his blood.—
Would any man counsel the free-
loving three millions of Demo
crats in this land to accept
it as an accomplished fact,
to ignore it for for prudence sake, and
thus "depart” around the sharp edges
of that murderous assault upon a
free Constitution ? The reasons for
Making.................... 4,184,984
The receipts for the two weeks
past are fully 80 per cent over last
year. And as the receipts at all ports
are in excess of last year over a mil
lion bales, is it not reasonable to cal
culate something like a correspond
ing increase of receipts direct to the
Northern mills ? And if the increase
is in same ratio, and receipts at ports
continue at the same rate of per cent
over last year for the balance of the
year, why not say the crops of 1870
and 1871 is nearly 4,500,000 bales ?
In the face of a large crop one of your
writers says that 250,000 bales were
held over from the crop of 1869 and
1870. How much will now he held
back in the face of a small “ cotton
crop ” for 1871?

Skirmish in a Hotel.
br> i
On yesterday, evening, aboiit seven
o’clock, a Shooting affray occurred in
the office of the Globe Hotel, which,

excitement. The facts of the case,

ago, Otis L. Cook, a Northern man,,
who is living and doing business in
Aiken, South Carolina, came. to. this
city and stopped at the (Jlohe. Hotel.
He deposited.one hundred and seven
ty dollars in the office, with a request
that he be not allowed, to. spend; more
than seventy dollars of the-amount'

seems to have drank a good deiil, and
declined to return to liis home, .djc
frequently drew small sums of qnoney
from his deposit, ahd on- yesterday
afternoon came for more, while appa

he did’nt wish to have such a drun
