WorUU The long-avowod pnrpose and the roiter uteil pledges of the Democratic party to re store self-government to New York city con stitute as definite and binding an obligation as a political party can anyhow contract. Senator Tweed, because that Holf-govern-ment was in the way to become honest and fmgal, and his own corrupt power likely to crumble, choso to repudiate that obligation, frustrate his party's purpose and violate its pledge. In the presence of a Democratic caucus, he wont through tho formula of denying the guilt of this treachery. lie might as well deny having shared tho profits of ohair-niaking for the armorios, or plaster ing for the county court houso. Senator Tweed is guilty of this betrayal of the Democratic party, and guilty, too, with aggravating circumstances. His treachery was in triplicate, and each, part bore witness to the existence of the other two parts. IIo betrayed his party's pledge and the contract with the peoplo. He betrayed tho people of the city, ko long a prey to his spoiling. He betrayed his associates in the Senate. Those Senators, to constrain his necessary vote, went to the outermost limit of conces sion and compromise; they softened almost unjustifiably the rigor of the reformation which they had undertaken to make. Evory concession was at Senator Tweod's solicita tion. Every departure from the most Demo cratic and thorough-going reform was to avert the threatened peril of his opposing vote in the Senate. By these concessions his pledge to vote for the remainder of reform was procured. His vote in the Senate kept the word of promise to the ear; his work in the Assembly broke it to the hope of those who thought the man's word worth taking in evidence of his intentions. Proof of his pre meditated treachery to his associate Senators leaps to the eyes. When the effect of the ring and radical alliance on Tuesday was clear to its conooct ers; when, instead of disintegrating and de moralizing the reform Democracy, it was plainly consolidating and inspiriting them the first move of Senator Tweed to meet that unforeseen contingency betrayed and revealed him. Here was the man who had extorted concessions; the man who had constrained every modification of the reforms of the Young Democracy; the pleader for time for this abuse, the beggar for mercy yet a little while to that corruption, before he had time to bethink himself of his nneonscious self betrayal announcing to the reporter of the World and to the reporters of other city jour nals that he is pregnant with a truly pure and virtuous charter, such as neither the still-born Frear charter, nor the defeated Compromise charter, nor tho secluded Huckleberry charter, could any or all of them pretend to be. Why was his virtue not put to use in improving the Tweed compromise charter, instead of worsening it smoothing' the way for a solid Republican vote and a partial Democratic vote against it. "When tha Devil wu mlok, tho Devil a, monk would be;" but this promise of a Tweed virtuous charter on top of a charter compromised out of its pristine virtue to get Tweed's needful vote, disclosed tnat "the devil a monk was he" when expecting lumself to get well by defeat ing all charter reform and maintaining ring ana radical rate over mis metropolis, xms treachery to Senators Norton, Creamer, and Genet is of a kind which men with red blood in their veins do not forget. It is too dis honest to be forgiven, too insulting to be overlooked: and if it barbs politioal witn per sonal hostilities, nobody need regret it over much who desires politics to be better than a game with loaded dice and packed cards. But Senator Tweed's treachery to this city, bv increasing whose taxes ho has become "one of its heaviest tax-payers," inspires a resentment which every honest Democrat in New York will share with their faithful ropre sentatives in the Senate and Assembly. Here we are, plundered by him and such as him in all open and public, in all private and dis honest ways. He thrives on percentages of pilfering, grows ricn on the distributed divi dends of rascality. Ills extortions are as boundless in their sum as in thoir ingenuity, Streets unopened profit him; streets opened put money in his purse, raving an avenue with a poultice increases his wealth. His rapacity, like the trunk of an elephant, with equal skill twists a fortune out of the Broad way widening and picks up dishonest pennies in the Bowery. And the system which shields, fosters, and prolongs him and his rapacious tribe he refuses to reform alto gether, or consents to reform in part only long enough to betray those who believed his word. Therein lies Senator Tweed's betrayal of the Democracy of the State. For the first time in nearly a quarter of a century the three departments of legislative power are ours. The system which environs with mul tiplied securities rapacity like Tweed's and rottenness like Smith's has hitherto been justly chargeable to the party then in power. Senator Tweed, by his treachery, has organ ized and effected the apparent and seeming transfer of responsibility for the ring and radical commissions, misgovernment, rotten ness, and rapacity, from the radical party to the l)emocratio party. Street Commissioner, Supervisor, State Senator, and Grand Sachem of Tammany it needed all his powers and positions to accomplish this almost fatal be trayal of the Democracy. There is one way in which this responsi bility can be thrown back where it belongs, upon the Republican party, in alliance with whom Senator Tweed accomplished his treachery. There is one way, too, in which the government of New York may yet be reformed. 1. By the solid vote of evory country Democrat for tho reform measuros which the anti-ring Senators and Assembly mea will soon agree upon. 2. By the recog nized and conspicuous repudiation of Tweed and his treachery in Tammany's indorsement of tho Senators who have openly and man fully contended for reform. SOUTHERN WOMEN VS. MULATTOE8. From the K. Y. Tribune. A recent number of the Atlantic Monthly contains a reminiscence of the war, of which the sole point and wit consist in an illustra tion of how certain Southern women disliked the eflicers of colored regiments, and were in revenge tricked into kissing a mulatto. Even if the merit of the story had authorized its publication, we must censure it and all others of its class as unwise and ill-judged in the extreme. The writers who are guilty of these ebullitions of petty spleen, so many of which find their way into our leading niaga- sines, have out a low conception 01 ino meaning of the war, and tho reason why it was undertaken. J. he mosses ot jNortnorn men, whether educated or mere laborers, who watered Southern battle-fields with thoir life's blood, did it not to recapture the months of Mississippi, not to bring back the revenue of the cotton States, nor yet lie-- cause they feared the projected new empire as a neighbor, which was to embrace Uuba and Mexico. They did it to preserve to the world an absolutely froe government; the union and combined action of many peoples in the name of liberty; the nation which was to stand in the van of humanity to lead and to develop it. But what Union is this which they have left us, if it implies a community of interest in trade and commerce, and utter social dis integration, incessant bickering, murderous hate ? It is not tho wealth of a nation any more than of an individual which gives her Eermanent rank among her peers; it is tho readth of culture, of enlightenment, the unity of high aims among her people, the lolty tone and temper of her social and do mestic life. That the war should have engen dered bitter animosities, violent prejudices, narrow and bigoted viows, was only to be ex pected. It was an almost fatal remedy for a mortal disease; naturally, the body is loft feverish and full of morbid humors. But the man who mistakes these local antipathies and sickly dislikes for patriotism, surely must have gone into the war with most ignoble motives. It was, by the way, tho non-fighting part of the nation on both sides who lowered the cause into virulent personal hatreds; the soldier who went noarost to the battle's front was most ready to recognize in his foe a brother whose opinion differed from his own. We urge again and again upon our readers that it is from the North the country should demand, now, coolness, good sonse, charitable judgment, and the cordial offer of reconciliation. It belongs to the brave victor first to hold out the hand, and not sting like a venomous insect his conquered foe, by gibes such as is this story. Let us have done with squabbles and jeors; they belong to boys who cannot comprehend the meaning of tho struggle, but not 'to grave and thoughtful men. The North and South, through counter emi gration, are likely in the next twenty years to become more closely interfused than ever before. Their interests will be the same to a degree that was not possible in the days of slavery. Are they to remain two separate peoples by virtue of tho old feud ? Is it to be a repetition of the history of tha Normans and Saxons, the Castilians and Moors ? It is in the upper strata of society the fusion will begin. There is a Freemasonry between men and women of education and gentle breeding; it gives liberality and breadth of view. The officer of the colored regiment who held a place which the North held most honorable, if his cood sense and culture had equalled his loyalty, would have been able to look on the other side of the shield and have readily comprehended how to a Southern woman he would appear her personal foe, We have little fear but that among the edu cated order the Union will soon beoome a reality in the relations 01 daily life, as it is politically. It is from the other and larger classes, wnose knowledge is conlined prinoi pally to the ways and means of earning their bread and butter, and who have never had leisure to study any opinions on higher sub )ects than those of their daily calling, that one and persistent antagonism is to be dreaded. States cannot, perhaps, be saved without the sword; but once saved, it is the office of all wise men to apply the healing ointment to moke the State a unit: a living healthy body moving in harmony, not a dis eased mass of warring members. A COLORED ORGANIZATION. From the Beaver Radical. The colored men of Thiladelphia ar e de bating the propriety of an independent politi cal organization, Republican in principle, but which shall maintain and protect them in their proper status in the Republican party, While the fifteenth amendment has become part of our organic law, and as such is acqui esced in and submitted to by all even the Democracy it is not to be forgotten that it owes its efheacy to Congress and the State Legislatures, not to the people. Just, hu mane, and wise as it is, all the strength of a new and popular administration was required to unite the representatives of the Re publican party in its smpport. In Penn sylvania, especially, the naked question of impartial suffrage, submitted to a direct vote of the people, would have been negatived by a decisive majority. It would have been negatived because a respectable fraction of the dominant party is so imbued with the old-time pride of caste and prejudice of color, that it was ready to unite with the Democ racy to prevent the advancement of the negro. And the Democratic party, whatever may be the present utterances of its leaders, was unitedly and bitterly hostile. The colored people should accept the situation and disem barrass their true friends of the complications which must inevitably follow their separate organization. They should rerognize the existence of an adverse sentiment, which is only latent because it has no opportunity or occasion profitably to manifest itself. They should make haste slowly, that their advance ment may be certain, merge with Republi cans, and base their claims to office and pre ferment upon the merits of their individuals, not upon their ability to deliver or withhold a given number 01 votes, it they do not, it will be all the worse for them and for the Re publican party. THE RESPONSIBILITY OF PARTIES. From the Albany Evening Journal. The Argus whistles to keep its courage up, It cannot deny that a fearful tornado is sweep ing over the Democratic camping ground, threatening to tear up much besides buckle berrv bushes. The hurricane prevails, but, it savs, "the Governor stands high above these storms, calm in the mirst of this con. fusion and sorone in his high office." It may be so; but tho wind is howlingfearfully about his mansion, nevertheless; and it is said the demon which ridos upon the storm will not be appeased until ruin and desolation is wrought there, also. Liet tne nurncano roar, screams the Argus; it will soon be over. It "inspires no fear in us." It may be so; but is nobody to bo hurt? O, yes, our noii'Ubor answers. "Individual reputations nndinlluonoe may bo lost, in tho collisions of the hour, aud cliques co down in disaster." Who are those "indi viduals." and where are these "cliques?" Are they not the guiding minds of the Demo cracy, the embodiment of its party power? Are they to go down, and the party "not lose its prestige or its strength?" Foolish hope! It is well for the State that the Deuiooratio party has unchecked control. The people can now see into whose hands thov have com mitted power. A set of men, with greedy lust for patronage, place, and pelf, howl over the spoils, lika ravenous wolves, and tear each other to pioees in their blind fury and jealous fear that nvulH will yot more than themselves. Does the Argus think tho peoplo will boliold I this spectacle with any other feeling than that of extreme disgust? It Rays it "would be ready to go to tho trial of the political issue, belore the people at once, it necessary, with out fear of tho result." Has any ono doubted its cournge, or challenged it to tho electoral test ? No; its exclamation is promptod by the very foar it disclaims. It seeks to quiet its own apprehensions. It is Rtaitled from its fanciful dream of security in nervous nlarin, and tries "soothing syrup' to recompose itself to sleep. But in the medicine bottles of tho wigwam soothing syrups are unknown. More powerful and deadly doses are being there prepared. Sleep is to be secured, but it is the sloep of death. Argus quackery will not answer. And when tho "braves" are killed, where will the tribo be ? There is no such thing as visiting upon individuals or cliques the responsibility of partv misdeeds. Ihe Democrrcy are in power in this State, because ot tho wrongs ot a very few Republicans. The Republican party has always been sound in its desiro, commendable in its aspiration, and wise in its purpose But a few individuals not enough to constitute a "clique "have brought upon that party torn- porarv reverse, lho ouenso of tho Demo cratic party is of far greater gravity. Not nly cliques, but party organizations, have abused their trust not only individuals, but powerful combinations, actuated by selfish ambition, are pushing for control. It is not the defection of a few unworthy membors which has alarmed our contemporary, but the fierce struggle of rival and powerful chieftains for political control. 'Ihe fact that so dis graceful a contest is boing waged is sufficient evidence ol tho demoralization ana corruption of tho Domocracy, and seals its doom ! rniLO-riEGANTHRorY. From the Chicago Tribune. It is related of the late Senator Fessendon that, in ono of those protracted, Boul-vexing conference committees at the end of a long session of Congress, when everybody's pa tience was badly worn out, some small-minded antagonist, who had been harassing him, and whom he had snubbed, remarked, with mock humility, "I suppose a cat may look at a king." "Yes," retorted Fessendon, "and a king may look at a cat. in the light of this precedent, there is, perhaps, no reason why Mr. Vincent Colyer, and his partners in the trade and business of Philo-Pieganthropy, should not look with all their might at Gene ral bhendan. 'I here is no doubt that Gene ral Sheridan needs a bigger enemy than tho Piegans. It is a sort of defilement which no Regular Army officer seeks, or would touch if he could avoid it, to have anything to do with the wild tribes of Indians, While it is a disgrace irretrievable to permit ever so small a detachmont to be laid, cut off, and overcome by thei an equal disgrace to demand any inn- ; num ber ot men to deal with them, and a crown ing infamy ever to punish them! If a settle ment is massacred there is a demand for a new General. If no settlement is massacred, it is a proof that no General is needed. If the General retaliates on the savages, and punishes offenses on the frontier, it is sud denly discovered that the doad Indians wero all "good Indians," though those who niako and verify this discovery would sooner swim the Hellespont than give one of these "good Indians a fair chance at their scalps, Alto- gether, therefore, Indian fighting is a field in which there is no glory and very little jus tice to be won. it is one which the armv and all its officers would avoid if thev consulted only their tame or comtort. But our frontier settlers demand pro tection. The pioneers of civilization and industry demand security. Even our prospecting miners have as good a right to hunt for gold as the Piegans have to hunt for buffalo. Ihe pretended right of the In, dians to hold large portions of our continent sacred to barbarism, is a pseudo claim which must give way before the march of civiliza tion. If the Indians like civilization, well; if not, it cannot stop for them. Savage life consists simply in making crime the normal occupation of the people. This is all that distinguishes it from civilization. As we crush out savagery and crime among our own white people, so must we among the In dians. As General Sheridan says, tho choice is sininlv this. "Shall we kill them, or shall they kill us ?" e believe that within the point of safety General Sheridan will show the Indians as much humanity as is consistent with duty. More would be inhumanity to the whites. It is barely possible that the Philo-Pieganthro. pists may have the audacity to approach the President, or the General of the Army, with a request lor the removal of Sheridan; but, knowing him and trusting him as they do, as one of the ablest soldiers the army ever pro. duced, there would seem to be but one answer which would befit such an application. That would be to direct the servant to show the Philo-Pieganthropists to the door. TOE DAY OF RETRIBUTION. From the Savannah Kcpublican, There is ene solemn, grand fact that stands out in the history of the world, in all ages and countries, from the beginning of the creation till tho present time. It is that no people were ever trampled upon wno aid not, sooner or later, turn and rend tneir oppres sors. It is a lact, too, founded in tne very nature of man and the laws of eternal justice and rioht. Men have an inherent rigut to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. and any trespass thereupon is a violation of the great fundamental law of humanity, and in the economy ef God has its pamshmont. always fully commensurate witn, ottentimes exceeding, tne crime. And in tne signt ot Heaven and earth the retribution is just. The oppressor is tho wrong-doer, and upon his head alone rests the guilt. We are stating history, not uttering tnreats. We do it, too, with a paoifio intent to warn the wicked men of the present day oi a catas. trophe ahead, the sad details of which we contemplute with as profound an emotion of horror as themselves. As friends of right and of peace we hold up the lesson for the in struction and guidance of those men of our country who, from the love of power or polf, have made tho fatal mistake of supposing that, under the protection of a heartless uov- eminent, they can wrong and trample upon their fellow-men with impunity. It cannot be done. Heaven never yet allowed tho crime to go unpunished. The whole pathway of history is strewn with the wrecks of thoso who. in pursuit of silf. forgot its teachings. and in the delirium of fancied success hurried on to a disastrous fate. How much reason wo have for this text and comment in tho movements of parties and tho condition of our unhappy oouutry to-day, it is unnecessary to say. The complaints of our wronged countrymen fill the air, and the lamentations of the oppressed are wafted on every breeze that blows from the stricken South. Thouch crushed to earth and tho snort of tvrunts and kuaves, she is not "voice. less in htr woe." By day and by night, her prajer ascends against stranger wrongs and parricidal hands. She prays for deliverance and peace, and, iu the exorcise of an exulted faith, feels that she proys not in vain. The star of hope, indeed, has already appeared. The very excesses and drunken triumphs of her enemies have raisod up for her friends in every btato and hamlet in the land tme. brave-hearted men. who. seoinp- tho wave of despotism extending, feel that its augmenting ana remorseless circumforonce may engmt them all in one common ruin. Thoy begin to fear and not without causa that their liberties, too, are unsafe, and, unless all signs shall prove false, tho day is not distant when the good and true throughout tho land will rise as one man to break tho sword that threa tens to enslave them, and crush tho hand that wields it. Heaven grant that tho struggle may be a peaceful one ! WINES AND LIQUORS.
