Who's To Be Cheated?

written j an ostensible Kepuuncau,
Ing the election of Judge Sharswood. As a
epeoimenof the style of argument being used
to seduce BepuLlicans into the support of this
judicial aspirant, the paper is worthy of a mo
ment's notice. It assumes that Judge Shars
wood does not endorse the platform upon
which he is running, and which is put forth to
the world as the formal declaration of princi
ples of the party which h&3 made him its
sUndard-bearert It says: "We do not hold
him" (Sharswood) "answerahle for the folly
or the faults of their platform. lie did not
write it. He does not adopt it; he is not hound
by it either actually or constructively; and he,
" . , l r
therefore, ought not to be affected by it. If
he endorsed the principles announced by this Con
vention, swallowing all like a fire-eater, no honest
man should vote for him. For heaven's sake,
save us from the curse of a party-political
judge. He has, however, nothing to do with
it, and it has nothing to do with him."
This is certainly a very strange position to
assume. Somebody is evidently to be grossly
deceived. The Democrats have nominated
Judge Sharswood upon a certain platform, a
platform adopted for this specLfio nomination;
he has accepted the nomination, without dis
senting In the least from a single expression
contained in the platform; and his party sup
porters are therefore fully justified in believing
that he does accept and endorse it to the fullest
extent. But if the assertion of this electioneer
ing document be true, the Democrats are being
"sold" in the most wholesale manner. Judge
Sharswood "does not adopt" the platform, and
"is not bound by it either actually or con
structively," and "has nothing to do with
it!"
On the other hand, if he really does indorse
the platform, as we have no doubt he does,
then all Republicans who may be deluded into
giving him their votes by such false appeals
as this now before us, will be taken in and
done for in the most thorough manner. Thy
will have voted for a man aooepting an repre
senting principles at deadly war ith all their
conviotions of right and justice one whom, in
the language of this, address, "No honest man
should vote or?' As we have said, therefore,
I v""-juy is ueiDg cneaiea. vv uo is it r ire
I" ' " "tile Democrats deceived in their man ? Are
eiHAf.A . t a-3 TXT T 1 ii o A
they supporting, and straining every nerve to
elect, a man who does not believe as they dot
who refuses to indorse their platform and does
not stand upon it ? Is Judge Sharswood occupy
ing a false position and playing a double part f
Is he allowing himself to be represented in
one light to the Democratic party to get their
votes, and in another to Republicans to get
theirs ? If he is, then he is not a fit man for
Judge, and no honest man of either party
should vote for him. Much as we despise the
Demooratio platform, and dangerous a3 we re
gard its doctrines, we would much rather sup
port a candidate standing squarely upon it,
than one occupying such a position as in this
document is ascribed to Judge Sharswood.
Give us at any time a man who knows where
he is and what he believes, in preference to a
trickster and a fence-straddler.
But in justice to Judge Sharswood, we must
say that there is not the slightest ground to
suppose that he ocoupies the position asoribed
to him in this electioneering document. In
accepting the nomination, as he has done,
Without the slightest protest against the plat
form upon which he was nominated, he has
given the best possible evidence that he in
dorses that platform evidenoe which
is universally aooepted as conclusive by all
parties. If he did not indorse it, if he were
not willing to accept it as an authoritative
exposition of his viewB upon the point3
covered by it, he would be bound, as an
honest man, to say so in some publio manner.
This he has never done; and therefore he is
justly to be held as adopting and standing
on the platform of the party whose candi
date he is. Were additional evidence neoes-
sary,' it might be found in the long expressed
and entertained politioal views of Judge
Sharswood views which could hardly have
found a more fitting expression than is con
tained in the Democratic platform. The
platform is fitted to the candid ate and the
candidate to the platform.
We may, therefore, Justly denounce this
attempt to represent Judge Sharswood as not
endorsing the platform, as a piece of political
demagoguiam of no ordinary atrocity no
thing less, in fact, than an endeavor to ob
tain yptes under fa he pretenses. Every Repub
lican who feels inclined, on personal, or other
grounds, to vote for him, may rest assured
that his ballot, if so given, will be taken In
Pennsylvania ajid elsewhere as a vote for the
abhorrent and accursed doctrines of the
Demooratio platform. Not only that, but it
will be taken as a vote to uphold that bad
jman In the Presidential chair whom Heaven,
.for our sins, has imposed as a sore judgment
upon us in his high-handed course of usurpa
tion and disregard of the Constitution. Such
will be its inevitable effect. No disclaimers
will avail. No sentimental twaddle about
keeping the judiciary out of politios will have
any mitigating effect. A vote for Sharawood
is a vote for the Democratic platform, for the
Democratic f&rty, and for Andrew Johnson ! j
TEE DAILY EVENING TELEGRArn PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY,
Pennsylvania Insulted.
From our knowledge of the class of men who
were to manage the Antietam celebration
yesterday, we did not expect muoh loyalty or
much courtesy, but even our estimate of Mr
Johnson fell far short of its realization. By
his conduct he heaped a deliberate Insult
on the proud State of Pennsylvania ; he did
so in a pointed and obtrusive manner, and
by so doing has indirectly insulted every citi
zen of our Commonwealth. We cannot calmly
loek at the conduct of the President yesterday.
We have too much State pride, we love Penn
sylvania too dearly, we are too fond of her dig
nity, and cherish too highly a sense of what
Is due to her honor, to tamely let her be
slighted even by a President. The ceremonies
were, taken altogether, what we antici
pated. Let our readers look at his con
duct. The oration was concluded, and the
orowd called loudly for Governor John W.
Geary. The sympathies of the loyal masses, 0;
the serried ranks that had stood on that ground
five years before, were not satisfied with the
address of Governor Bradford. They wanted
some declaration of those principles which hal
hallowed the site of the monument. But the
programme, arranged by a Johnson clique, had
been intended to prevent the utterances of any
but those who were slaves to the Presidential
policy. The "gag" was a strong one, but the
people threw the schemes of the politicians to the
winds, and loud and long calls for our Governor
filled the air. Finding it impossible to proceed
unless Geary made a speech, the leaders of the
manoeuvre called upon the Governor and re
quested him, as a favor, to quiet the tumult
of the multitude. He did so, by requesting,
as a favor to himself, that the programme
might be carried out. Then, and not till then,
did the crowd consent to hear Mr. Johnson.
The contrast between the reception meted out
to the two must have been painfully
apparent to the would-be autocrat.
One the head of the nation, the other the
head of a State; and the National Executive
thrown aside, while honor was heaped upon a
local officer. The lessons taught are not to be
mistaken the highest officer, without prin
ciple, is less respected than the lowest, if he be
a sober, honest, and patriotic man. In return
for the courtesy of General Geary, how did
this elegant Chesterfield behave? He gave full
evidence of his early education. It needs no
mautuin numor to nave mm prove
that he was of the "poor white trash,'
and that he spent his best years. in
their society. The moment he had finished
his speech, and as Governor Geary rose
to address the crowd, the Presidsnt with
his suite retired from the platform, and left the
vicinity. The Governor of Pennsylvania was
not worthy of their attention. What did they
care for him, even though he did represent our
great Commonwealth 1 They had said all they
desired, and now was a chance to insult our
Exeoutive in the presence of that crowd
which had been calling for him. And they
hastened to avail themselves of it. But the
attempt only rebounded on themselves, and
the wild enthusiasm which greeted Geary
testified that the throng did him the more
honor because of the attempted Executive
insult. The truth of the matter is, that the
President visited Antietam to make a political
harangue. He had the whole programme
arranged to use the occasion for politioal effect.
But the voice of the people prevented the
consummation of the scheme. His speech
was cut short by the evident preference for
Geary, and, enraged, he endeavored to insult
our Governor, and through him the State. In
October Pennsylvania will show whether her
proud spirit, which never yet brooked an in
sult, will tamely receive it from this ill-mannered
madman of Tennessee.
A Cold and Sinister Speech.
The speech of President Johnson at the
Antietam celebration yesterday was more re
markable for what it omitted than for what it
contained. There was no allusion in it to the
cause that lay beneath that great struggle, no
recognition of the fact that the patriot soldiers
who lie underneath the sod there fell in de
fense of freedom and an imperilled country,
no generous meed of gratitude for their sub
lime devotion and immortal valor. All wa3 as
cold and unsympathetic as though a traveller
from some distant land were languidly
moralizing over a battle-field of which he knew
nothing save that brave men fell "on both
sides." Far other and different was that brief
but immortal speech made by the great
martyr of our cause, Abraham Lincoln, on a
similar ocoa3ion, at Gettysburg. That was all
alive with sympathy for the cause of humanity
and liberty and native land, in defense of which
our sleeping dead gave up their precious lives
We do not wonder that our heroic soldiers
hungered to hear something besides these cold
and unsympathetic words of Andrew Johnson,
and that they. Insisted upon a speech from
Governors Geary and Fenton.
The Difference IJetween "Carnage"
nnd "Murder."
As all the world has read this morning,
among the hymns sung yesterday afternoon,
at the dedicatory exercises on the battle-field
of Antietam, was one containing the following
stanza:
"Here, where the flash and roar
Buttle and cixrnage bore
Over the main,
Hoft en your lowly bed,
Kent your fame luurel'd head.
Our noble patriot dead,
By treason slain."
liotu of the hymns sung on the occasion
were composed by the Rev. Edward Meyer, of
this State, who served during the war as
chaplain In the Union army. When the
hymns were first submitted by Mr. Meyer to
the committee having the, matter in charge,
the stanza given above read as follows:
"Here, where the flash and roar
liulile and murder bore
Over the main," etc.
It WUl aouuues.1 wu a uutuer oi surprise to
the public to be Informed that the committee
at onoe protested in the most earnest manner
against the use .of the word "murder," and
after several consultations between them and
Mr. Meyer, the latter was obliged to substitute
for this truthful epithet the milder one of
"carnage!" This action on the part of the
committee needs no explanation, and but little
comment. The members of that august body,
whoever they may be, are very mealy
mouthed, and desire to be excessively smooth
spoken. For all the world they would not
permit the utterance of a single word at which
the most unregenerated and least reconstructed
Rebel could by any chance or possibility take
offense. Such delicacy of feeling is, indeed,
rare euoh tender regard for the sentiments of
men who on that very field of blood were
guilty of the most stupendous crime of the
century, is, indeed, magnanimous I The only
marvel is, that the committee did not objeo
in tolo to the singing of hymns on the ocoa
sion, lest it should savor of sacrilege thus to
celebrate one of the most disastrous defeats
which " the lost cause" ever sustained.
Two Significant Speeches.
Below we publish in connection the speech
delivered by the late President Llnooln at the
dedication of the Gettysburg Cemetery, and
that of Andrew Johnson delivered yesterday
at Antietam. Let the people read and compare
them, noting the full-hearted, overflowing
patriotism and devotion to liberty of the one,
and the cold, non-committal, pointless plati
tudes of the other.
FKKSIDENT LINCOLN ON TI1K BATTLE-FIELD OF
GK'ITYSHUKQ.
Fourscore and seven years aeo our fathers
brought forth upon this continent a new nation,
conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the pro
position that all men are created equal. Now
we are engaged In a great civil war, testing
whether that nation, or any nation so conceived
and so dedicated, can lone endure. We are met
on ft creat battle-field of that war. We are met
to dedicate a Dortlon of it as the final resting-
place of those who here gave their lives that
that nation might live. It is altogether llttlng
nnd nrnner that we should do this.
But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we
cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this
ground. The brave men, living and dead, who
struggled here, have consecrated it far abovo
our power to add or detract. The world will
little note nor long remember what we say
here, but it enn nevt-r forget what they did here,
H Is for us, the living, rather to be dedlaated
here to the unfinished work that they have
thus far so nobly carried on. It Is rather for us
to be here dedicated to the great task remaining
before us that from these honored dead we
take increased devotion to the cause for which
thev here enve the last full measure of devo
Hon that we here highly resolve that; the dead
shall not have died in vain, that the nation
shall, under God. have a new birth of freedom.
and that the government of the people, by the
people, and for the people, shall not perish from
tneeartn.
