FIIIDAV, JI NE O, IH7I.
Vital I’riiidplriito lx; Ignored The
Democracy cf IH(W and IH7I.
The Democracy of tho entire North
appear to be united in li e determination
to ignore, as “dead issues,” llicao bogus
amendments to the Constitution, where
by the reserved rights of the Stales arc
jeopardized, and a centralized despotism
inaugurated at Washington. Tho infa
mous measures, by authority of the hun
gry Democracy <ft Do North, aro to be
treated as bom fide parts of the Consti
tution—of legal oilect and force—not
withstanding they aro in direct conflict
with the body of said instrument. It is
adrtiitted, however, that they aro to be
thus acquiesced in, only on thgriscoro of
expediency, and for party success, und
the Southern Democracy, wo presume,
ia to be dragooned into subserviency to
a platform antagonistic to the personal,
as well as political interest of its sec
tion.
Individually, we do not pretend to be
nn adept in political lore, nor arc we
more strenuous in the advocacy of pure,
unadulterated democracy, than others,
but for the life of us, wo cannot con
ceive how the Democracy < T 1:71 can
characterize and ignore as “dead issues,”
the identical issues fm which they gave
stubborn battle to Radicalism in 1808,
and reconcile the same with consistency.
We then contended that tho fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments to the Const!
tilt ion wore anti republican in spirit and
letter, illegal, revolutionary, null and
void. Dow, then, can tho Democracy
in 1871 acquiesce in and tacitly givo in
their adhesion to tire sumo illegal amend
ments? A wrong, once perpetrated, nev
er became a virtue, by tire tap e of time.
Truth is eternal, and expediency can
never supplant it by the propagation of
falsehood.
Wo ar e told, ’however, that the ig
noring of cherished principles, must be
submitted to for tiro success of parti/.
In other words, the Democracy of 1871
must appropriate the platform upon
which tiro Republican party of 1808
planted itself, solely for the purpose of
enabling tho hungry Democracy of lire
North to feed at tho national crib in
1873. Very little principle in tin's; and
certainly it is very inconsistent.
Let tin’s boas it may, In wover, the
departure from com et principles is tiro
settled policy of lire Northern Democra
cy; and right or wrong, tiro Southern
Democracy will fall into ranks, and
preach the odious radicalism of 1868 as
sound, constitutional democracy in 1878.
As evidence of this “departure” of the
No rthern wing, wo cited a few weeks
ago tho defection ot Vullandigham and
the grave resolutions of the Pennsylva
nia Convention, whereby even discus
sion of the bogus amendments was per*
imptorily condemned; and now wo have
an echoing platform from the Stalo of
Ohio, in which the same craven spoil, is
manifested, and hostility to anti-repub
lican legislation seriously condemned.
The Ohio Convention was held at Co
lumbus, on last Friday, and among oth
er resolves, it put forth the following:
"While denouncing the means by
which they were brougl t about, the Do
moeracy of Ohio recognize as accom
plished facts lhe recently adopted amend
ments to the constitution, and consider
thi m no longer a practical issue before
the country; but insists that while these
three amendments enlarge the power of
the Fede:al government, they shall not
in any way alter or modify its original
theory of character, aid to no further
extent abridge the reserved lights of the
Stairs.”
And thus construed, the Democratic
party of Ohio pledged itself to support
the constitution ns it now is, '‘seeming
equal rights to all, without distinction
of race, color or previous condition.”
What hope is there for the perpetuity
cf constitutional liberty, when the once
v ,ileus advocates of Democracy thus
prostitute undying - principles for tho
s ike of official position? Tin; true men
of ti c country can never admit tho va
lidity of the bogus amendments to the
Constitution. To acquiesce in them, is
to give endorsement to usurpation and a
centralized government.
In reference to this surrender of prin
c’p’e, we cannot.rpftVS, n. m that stor-
I'llg Democratic journal, the Lagrange
Jteporter:
Wc have, for the past 1. nr years, look
ed forward with hope and conluleuiv to
the Qommenccment of the great political
struggle ot 1878. With hope, because
this snuggle was to be a leturn of a
constitutional government of the pci pie
on one side, agait st the mongrel, half
negro monarchy on the other. Wit
c. nlideuce, because the D.n ocratie par
ty had led US to In iiove that, upon tin
broad and open declaration that this
was a white man’s government, made j
by white men tor while men; ai.d that :
tin; Constitution, “as it war," si oulil by ,
u voice id tie pm pto, hue. me again tin
col stiUition ol inr cni.tiy; that its
platform should be in <q .n, av witl
declaration of war upon ail the usurpa
j lions of Radicalism, and that intelligence
and honesty should again rule this coun
try. With thin under.-'landing and be
lief, wc felt confident that tho Democrat
ic party would succeed.
Rut we confess wo are forced to ac
knowledge that this confidence of suc
cess has been shaken; shaken, because,
from the evidences before ns, (hero are
too many who, professing to bo Demo
crats, aic nothing more nor less than
sithmissi mists—men who, like Adams,
of Massachusetts, and Vullandigham, of
Ol>i<\ advise tho Democratic parly to
surrender lo lhe Radicals by “accepting
the situation.” And what shall wo ac
cept? Shall we acknowledge that the
amendments to the Constitution, in the
negro intcrist to the exclusion of the
white people, are right? That all the
infamous and tyrannical amendments
for the exclusion of the white people of
tho South, mo right! These aro the
things Mr. Vallaiidigham wanls the De
mocracy to accept “as a settlement iri
fact of all the issues of war,” and to ac
quiesce in “as uo longer issues before
the country
* * * .*
Wo believe in no such doctrine as
that o! “accepting the situation.” We
i.lo not thus propose to sell out to limn
grclifin. Wu do not propose to go
back upon our rccoiil or the record ofi
tho Democratic parly. We do not pro- |
puso to become treacherous to the prin
ciples we have so long adhered to us a
Dimocraf. Wo are in favor of a bold
aid manly fight upon principle. To
succeed, tho Demociatic parly must
make such a light.

Tlio Great Fx pie rev of Africa.
For many years tho public of two
In mispheres have frequently been agree
ably startled by reports of the safely of
the scientific explorer, Dr. Livingston,
but there reports have so regularly lack
ed confirmation, that all cave his bosom
friend, Sir Roderick Miirchinson, long
s’r.co consigned him to the tomb ol the
Hottentots. To now believe that lie is
positively alive and well, is to experi
ence a mingled fouling of surprise and
joy, all in to that which might bo ccca
sioned by one's reappearance from the
dead.
The New York Hearth and Home
says, twelve great's have elapsed since
the great explorer disappeared amid the
jungles of Africa. lie had beau borne
in England for two years, after travers
ing the ‘unknown interior’ from oceau to
ocean, narrating to vast audiences, and
preparing for publication the results of
his researches. Tho public listen to or
road with thrilling interest, the stories [of
his hairbreadth escapes among tho Boors,
perilous ascent of tho Lecarnbye, Leeba,
and other rivers; weary marches across
the Uakaliliaii dcscit.to Lake Ngaiui;*
and of bis explorations into remote
regions, never before troddou by
the foot ot white men. None of the in
credulity which frequently attaches to
explorers was entertained regarding Dr.
Livingstone, ilia theories and asser
tions concerning mountain ranges, river
courses, the headwaters of the Nile, new
tribes and new discoveries in the animal,
mineral, and vegetable kingdoms, were
accepted without a doubt or suspicion
by bis countrymen.
It is not surprising, therefore, that the
last departure of Dr. Livingstone [ 1858]
lor bis previous field of discovery should
have elicited many God speeds, and oth
er expressions of interest. After tarry
ing a short time at Quilernane, be started
up tho Zambezi River on a protracted
tour. Accounts of bis progress were
received at intervals for a considerable
period, but they ultimately ceased —lo
bo followed by many rumors- Atone
time bo was reported burned, uni at an
other poisoned ns a wizard. Now we
were assured that be was detained
by a native prince, whose sable daughter
had, like another l’ocahontaa, fancied
; the pale face, and now that lie had been
i captured by tho wild men, and held for
! a ransom- Rut we shall know from his
] own lips tho cause of his long absence,
j Meanwhile tho public may prepare to re
ceive a budget of information concern
ing Africa, which w ill far exceed in in-
terest any previous revelations regard
ing the benighted land.
Sii Roderio Miirchinson has good rcas
on to be, us 1.0 doubtless is, one of the
happiest men in England to-day. lie
has triumphed over popular incredulity,
und tho one hundred and seventy
obituaries of h:s frieu 1, which have ap
peared in the Loudon papers alone, and
established a right to be heard in the
future with more respect than ever, upon
all mat lets of a scientific or geographical
character. -VJhkd'iio telieved Sir John
Franklin was likewise safe.

j, si ph F, Drown, President of the State
Rond, paid over to the Treasurer the
stun of $85,600 in cash, tho amount due

No Snare (his Time-
Under this caption, the Mu - on T ANARUS;
graph says that it is a chronic affection :
of tho New York cotton bulls to throw
tho rnaiket up every spi ing, or about the
time planters are ready to give the:
seeds of tho staple to the soil, for. the |
purpose of inducing them to put in large
crops, and inspiring the hope in their
minds of realizing good prices in the
fall. Heretofore the trick has been little
else than a snare, but this season it will
entrap nobody, lor the cold and wet
spring has tendered it impossible for the
planters to fall in the suave even if they
would. We think, therefore, the pri s
ent advance in prices is genuine, solid
and reasonable, front tho fact that it is
now apparent this year's crop will fall
short at least 1,200,000 bales of what it
was last year, and probably more, if the
present wet spell of weather continues
but a little while longer. luthe face of
this fact the price of cotton is bounding
upwaid with astonishing celerity, and
there is nothing unreal or deceptive
about it. The great misfortune to the
South, however, is the fact that it lifts
sold its last year’s crop, and Northern
speculators will now realize immense
profits upon tho price at which they
bought it. Out of the 100,000 bales re
ceived in Macon of the last year’s crop
there now remains in our warehouses a
stock of only 2,500 bales, and such is the
fact generally all over tho South. The
present advance will not, therefore, bo'p
our planters in the leas’, and it is a con
solation to know that it cannot hurt
them. It is no snare this time.
