THE DISTURBING ELEMENT.
/ Whoever considers the present political
conclitio: - "net see that the
Dernocral to be *hie it
has been petit, the chief ele
ment tin by menacing
it with _ hereditary-re
sult of that pernicious deebdOn •in asking
which that party repudiated the cardinal
doctrines of 'Universal Liberty, allied itself
with the Slave Power, and became instru
mental in bringing on Mt- Rebellion. It
Would not:perhaps, be just to say that this
decision was mid, tenaciously, and with a
definitetuiders4muling of what it implied,
,
by,rill qr.-even : a inajority of the men . who
participated in it. Parties are but aggrega
tions of persons, and are liable to the same
Belt deceptioni as the indivldeals who com-
pose than. They are as often 'swayed by
Passions, dominated by,-..preindlccs, and
swept headlong in the pursuit of selfish or
unwarrantable ends, as solitary men:
When the memorable controversy in re-.
laden to slavery commenccd, the Demo- ,
cretin party sympathized very largely in the
views and purposes of the oPponents of that
institution. it would have been false to its
mune, to its instincts, to the reputations of
its founders, and to the memoriesof its early
years, if it had not. In Pennsylvania, in
State and County Conventions, it at one time
took strong grounds against slaverygoing
much farther than the Whig partT ever
went. But soon it began to distrust its own
doctrines, to take Counsel of its fears, to , lis
ten to cunning seducemeets froni the slave
holding interest, to judge that its way to
protractTd supremacy, lay not through
championing the Nail rights of all men, but
in lending itself to prescription, to caste, to
aristocracy Mid slavery. Some experiments
In that direction inflamed', its ambition, set
a keen edge upon its cupidity, dulled its sense
of honor, and transformed it into a bedecked
menial of the Slave Power. It began its
terrible descent by apologizing for itself; by
protesting that it still held to its old ideas of
Liberty, Equality and Fraternity, but was
overruled by a , sense of paramoarrliga
bon to the. Constitution, upon which it put
forced said unnatural constructions, :making
it seem to say what its words did not im
port, and what the fathers never intended,
but would.havii been irretrievably disgraced
if they had designed. Soon its , mor a l con
victions became so blunted that it undertook
the justification of Slavery as the natural
and necesiii4 condition of the black race,
and of the larger part of all races. It as
'Burned a profound knowledge of ethnology;
of the distribution of races and their subor
dination to one another; of the most recon
dite purposes of Providence and of the true
intent and meaning of the Holy Scriptures.
It was wonderflil to see the Apostles of
Democracy go abroad with the Types of
Mankind in one pocket and the Bible in the
other to prove the dogma that the Supreme
Court ultimately thought safe to promul
gate that "black men have no rights that
white men are bound to respect."
ileanwhile the Southern leaders, finding
how intensely the Democratic masses had
learned t4hate negroes and adore Slavery,
c4mcelvedlthe thought of making them the .
Instrument for overthrowing the Republic
and setting up a monarchical government in
Its place. No, difficulty whatever was ex
perienced in bringing the Northern Demo
cratic lea dm into , the arrangement. The
precise extent and terms of this contract
have never been dividged;. but enough has
transpired to disclose its, general wipe. It
was to so change the basis of the govern;
Merit as to'bring it into harmony through
out with Slavery.' Examples of sneh a gov
ernment are not lacking In the history of
past ages, nor are
_they. entirely unknown
to these modern times.
,
This is why' the Democratic leaders, when
the rebellion tamed out, were found to be
complete sympathy with It and resorted
to , all manner of technical objections to
prevent the - nation from saving its own life.
When !Revery was overthrown they resent
ed its destruction as a great wrong inflicted
not only upon the slaveholders, but upon
the country aid the whole world. If the
Government had listened to their remon
strances, and followed in the line of their
wishes, the rebellion would have been
crowned with success.
When the work of Reconstruction com
menced, these men were disquieted because
safeguards against a recurrence of the tragic
scenes of the war "were insisted upon; as
also securities for, the rights crf,, the liberated
bondmen. The feeling upperniost in their
mindewns clearly to get the rebels out of
"the i difficitity they were with the the few
est losses possible; With '"thp fai'gest
practicable amount of power for mischief re::
maining in their hands, and to leave the
only it' , gilaik - ria Of freedom,
and exposed to serious hazard of having
that little takenSrattr.them. , r- 1 1
This is what the Democratic leaders hav
been atriving:for during the last four years,
and erestilkintent upon pursuing by all the
means at their command.
The Republicans, on the centrary, want,
the great controversy 'closed out,' so that it
cannot be:revived: to, the dam age o f per -,
sonal liberty ,. and to ,
the, detriment of all
the material `interests of the people. Th e y
'are not disposed• to deal harthly with even
the rebel chiefs. 'Not 'one nf them has lost

publicans inclined•to centime for any, fur

rich:
'ln all this, Mr. Parrorzron
_reiterates his
original ideas, exceptthat he seems to aban
don, at the requirement of the Convention,
his earlier proposition to take up the bonds
at once, by making and issuing new legal
tenders for this amount, expanding, the cur-
ready instantly to the same extent. But
the platform does not embody his proposi
tion to substitute notes for, the bonds owned
by National banks on the Treasury, nor
does that platform recognise his theory of
expansion. In these" two very •important
particulars, the dogmas of the Pendletoni
ans have gone to pot with their candidate.
The latter, however, deluded with. the hope
of a nomination in '72, tries to swallow his
chagrin, and engages in an effort to satisfy
his old adherents, by deluding them with
the notion that the platform accords with
his own former position. It does
no such thing, as he very well
knows, but be has been yery suc
cessful in making a set speech which
was artfully adapted to reconcile his
especial friertds to this year's ticket, but
- which at the same , time • gives notice to the
politicians of the party that he intends to
stand none of theirgammon. To the peo
ple, he says: "Support the ticket and plat
form ; they are all right." T 3 the leaders
of the party, on the other hand, he Bois :
"Gentlemen, I am not to be humbulged ;
your platform and mine don't agree; e all
know it, and I wish you to understand that
Your theory is to be construed practically
after my Ideas. Let `that be ..understood at
once between ourselves, and we can easily
satisfy thecrowd." It le very likely that
such la the understandint, actually come to,
and Mr. Ponourrost, acts ,not unwisely,

record of the matter in his Grafton. speech.

different account of the strike among the
miners from that sent . over the country by

the part of the workmen; only "demand for
increased wages and a redaction of the
hours of labor to eight a day. Some of the
proprietors who have contracts to fill .have
acceded to. both demands; all the others
have refused. As the owners are making
no money at the current prices, they cannot
and will not advance wages until the falling
off in the supply of coal shall carry up places,
and then they will advance wages in
proportion. Consequently, there 25a -fair
prospect that the strike will last some
weeks.

THE wnrrz PAWN.
•
The party visited the vend Crosby
Opera House'list night hisbody by invita
tion of Meserw-Hess & clarrett to witness
the "White Fawn:"'• Of course the sub
scriber accepted the invitation, desiring to
brighten up his ideas on theatrical matters,
was to be enabled to appreciate the unpar
alleled exertions to please the public prom
ised fbr next wagon by the high toned and,
ni
liberal anakement of our own little dinkey
of an Opera House. The entertainment
was.very grand, and appeared to please the
Chicagolans vastly, if we were; to judge
from the hearty applause awarded the mul
titude of airy fairy dancers. The scenery
was elaborate and beautiful, and the New
York excursionists awarded the "White
Fawn" representation st the Crosby House
the palm of superiority over Niblo's Garden.
The Opera House under Manager Hess'd
administration has enjoyed unusual pros
perity. Pittsburgh can never sufficiently
man t r a the loss of this manager, who was
the say high-toned and faithful caterer to
the tes of our citizens thathaa ever shone
to lose money in our Smoky city. He' as
secured the Crosby Opera House for next
sewn and will play the best stars in the
country. By the way Lapo, who accom
panied the lionfanti troupe to, Pittsburgh,
and who was such a favorite with the admi
rers of the ballet, was taken home to the
East from here, a day or two ago, a perfect
wreck, having a complication of diseases,
from which it is probable he will never re
cover. His sister accompanied him.
- Our. visit here is employed in sight see-
Mg. In my next I win have something to
say of Chicago, as It appeared to me, when
shown in her best light by enthusiastic
'sena anxious to have her put forward .into
proper rank. Messrs. Purdy, McGann and
Fleming of the Pitteburgh delegation are in
excellent spirits, and are delighted in com

AN lIPORTANT DECLARATION

The Zanesville, Ohio, Grulatia, th e only
Gen sum paper published there, and which
has hitherto.been Democratic, in last week's
inane, rilpudlalea the candidates nominated
at New 'fork, and shows a decided leaning
towards Grant and Colfax. It reads:
Ittmrsoran.
(Translated from the Ge rommla.)

the selection of candidates for gm Presiden
cy and Vic& PreilideitayVvirhere- thireyea of

also with Anxious! expectation, which the
great Industrial Exhibition did not equal
nor, call such a rariltitude of people to. wit
ness, has, at bet; after 'twentY-tsr6'
unitedin selecting a candidate for the.
Presidency—a candidate who, itseenw, from
the beginning would not have his name
used and therefore one whom the Demo- -
era& party never more. thought of, viz::
Horatio Seymour, of New York.
Notwithstanding they dragged long with
the candidate for the Presidency, they , were
soon done with the. Vice Presidency, the
candidate being proposed, indeed, in a very
thoughtless manner and accepted. ,
Shall we eveour candid and impartial
opinion about - the whole matter? After fol
lowing with the greatest attention and the
highest interest the whole proceedings of the
Convention, we cannot help but—supported
by the opinion of conservative associations
and prominent personslities—think that this'
is not the will of the Democratic people. but
that it is only the work of a grand, old,
wide-and-broad.spun, secret, political clique.
Why shall we conceal the truth , and deceive
ounelvea? Can patriots stand It with calm.
blood to be thus humbugged by the politi
cians and, like greenhorns, say to this, lit-
ical finesse : Yea and Amen ?
Is this an introduction of the Democratic
honesty destined to repudiate the . pretended
'radlisereorrilpfkit fs A bad omen. "

not this nomination anther a retrograding
in the old, ways of' Democracy that once
destroyed the party and nearly ruinea the
country, ? Orohall the nomination of Idr.
Blair, who, in his letter to the New York
Convention, preached quasi rebellion, and
the installation of the President as a dicta

On Monday, July • 18,:1888 --exactly five
years ago commenced the terrible draft
riots in New York city. The rebel - armier
Were facing the Union' unties at every point,.
and threatening to carry the war, into the
North. ' Lee had made the attempt,' bur into.,
been checked at Gettysburg. Morgan had *
that morning crossed the Ohio line and
threatened.to water his horse in Lake Erie.
There wan nrgeet., need of reinforcements:
for the Union army, and after , many delays •
the order for the draft had been issued. The
'draft in New , York was ordered to com
mence Monday, - July 18. '
' Events showed that secret arrangeMents'
had been made fbrie general uprising of
rebel sympathizers throughout the North,
taking the.draft as a pretexti-and that such
uprising should prove a fire in the rear of
the Union armies that would enable Pem
berton to drive Grant into the Itisaimi_ppi,-
Bragg to sweep Rosecrana into the Ten
nessee, allow Lee to breakthrough .Meade's
barrier, push on to 'Philadelphia and New-
York, and surround Washington,
Morgan and his raiders dished through
Ohio and cut the communications between
the West and the. East. The coincident'
fall of . Vicksburg and defeat of Lee at Get-'
tyaburg spoiled the _programme, but the
demon of discord had been excited in New .
York, and could, not be kept down. al- -
though its opportunity had passed.
'About noon of Monday, July 18, snub,
at a preconcerted signal, suddenly attacked
a building on Third avenue, New York,
where drafting had commenced, gutted it,
fatally injured as -enrolling officer, and
drove the other occupants through the win
dows at the peril of their lives. They then
attacked the Government armory on Second
avenue, brutally maltreated the occupants,
and fired the building.
Led on by a Virginia rebel, they attacked
and disarmed soldiers and police, hunted
them down like dogs, and frightfully man
gled them. They swarmed, a pack of thou
sands of yelling, whooping demons, around
I the Colored Orphan asylum, set it on fire,
drove off the firemen that attempted to ex
tinguish the flames, and would have hung
the Chief Engineer but for the determired
resistance of his men. The building was
stripped of its contents, the orphaned
chit
dren turned naked and friendless into the
street, to be kicked and beaten by the infuri
ated brutes, and the building leveled with
the ground. "
Fresh from this scene of dastardly and
cowardly outrage, the now maddened vil
lains hunted up the coloreepeople, hunx
them to lamp-posts and trees, beat them to
death, set them on fire as they lay dying,
and burned their homes. Thus passed the
first day of the riot.
All night the reign of blood and fire was
kept up. Next day an attempt was made
estin a United States hospital, in which
Tay two hundred And fifty sick and wound

and wend fights took lace,` the mob—
