ICAVTIHIII‘ 'TO 'THE' DEHOCRACI.
We give our Democratic readers fair
notice that, in supporting their nomina
tion of this year, in this Commonwealth,
they must not rely too implicitly upon
the defeat of Equal Suffrage. It is true
that your State.platform denounces this
doctrine of equality, and you would very
naturally take it for granted that this ex
presses the National sentiment of your
party. In tkis you reckon without ac
quaintance with the facts. • \
Opposing colored suffrage in Pennsyl
vania, your party, in Ohio, stands ready
to adopt it/as soon as circumstances , may
warrant. The Ohio platform of this year
ignores the question altogether, except in
a few words of twaddle about State
rights.. The Democracy of that State are
all ready, in light marching order, for
a "new departure," as soon as the
word is given by their leaders. In
New York, says the World, "the
Democracy never harbored an illib
eral feeling toward the negroes of
the State. We are willing that they
should vote, as they have always voted
since 1821, on a moderate property quali
fication." The Louisville courier says:
"Is the Democracy united on the
negro question ? In Mississippi, Mas
sachusetts and Tennessee, the Dem.
ocratic or Conservative elements are
'committed to negro suffrage." ln
Virginia, all parties are alike commit
ted to the same doctrine. The same is in
deed true of every Southern State, where
your Democratic friends thoroughly corn
prebend that they can never, whether the
X.Vth Article is or is not adopted, abro.
,gate the equal suffrage which now pre
vials in all of the late rebel States.
Perhaps you have imagined that this
new Article has been expressly leveled at
those States, in order to ensure the per
petuity of their present doctrine of equal
ity at the polls. Not so. The, Article,
if it may be supposed to have one especial
intent more than another, is intended to
reach existing' institutions in all those
Northern States which at present repudi
ate this principle of a true Demo.
cracy, and in the three border States of
Delaware, Maryland and Kentucky.
You will observe, if you bat keep open
half tin eye, that your friends throughout
the North do not agree with your Harris
burg platform. Pennsylvania alone
stands squarely in Democratic opposition
to equal suffrage. .0)do is now com
mitted, and your party in every other
Northern State stands today as dumb as
oysters upon this issue. _
How is it in the border States? The
Louisville Courier, whichwe have quoted,
speaks for Kentucky, and significantly.
In Maryland, more than one Democratic
journal unites with the Prince Georgian,
one of the ablest newspapers of * the party
in the State. in appealing to their and
your friends "to admit the colored popu
lationto the suffrage," with or without the
XVth Article, and "to welcome them as
men and brethren." Delaware is an In
eignificant element in the question, at any
rate; she will follow the crowd in either
direction.
Your party is on the eve of what they
style "a new departure." This means
that you are about to turn your backs
upon Issues as to which it is better for
you that they be dead than living; your
leaders are today in council upon the
need for a complete revision of your po
litical policy, a prominent feature of
which concerns this , business of equal
suffrage.
Here, in Pennsylvania, you cling to the
old exploded ideas which, again and
again have misled you to disastrous de
teats, and will do so once more, four
weeks from next Tuesday. Thousands

In view of the public anxiety on this
head, it is somewhat remariable that no
entirely authentic record, up to the pres
ent date, has yet appeared from the De
partment.
Tim Columbus Journal devotes four
coltimns to the official record of Mr. Pen.
dleton, the present choice of the Ohio
Democracy for their Governor. Mr. Pen.
4 eton is another of the P's, a particular 1
friend and fellow-politician with Mr. Asa
Packer. The only difference between the
two candidates is this—that the. Ohio man
has the intellectual - capacity, which our
P. has not, to write letters and make
speeches. This capacity he has exemplt.
fled by eight years of disloyal talk and
equally disloyal votes, while all the other
gentleman could do , was ;to pat Vallandig -
ham on the back, and sap "ate-boy." IR
fact, however, the Ohio record shows
just how the millionativ monopolist of
the Lehigh would have talked and voted,
if his education and opportunities had per
mitted it. It is a lone and dreary and
humiliating record of d ughface subser
viency, partisan maligni y, and hate for
the boys in blue, and foi the old flag for
which their toil and blood were given on
hundreds of battle•ftelds. \
AxttIIeLLY, in SepteMber or thereat
bouts, a venerable citizen of Ohio, Hon.
Times Evirso, is impelled, "by the
present disturbed state Of the country,"
to print a letter, ostensibly addressed to a
dozen or so of his octogenarian friends,
and covering usually the broad side of
such newspapers as are rash enough to
print it, in which the Melancholy fact is
stated that the Republic is fast galloping
to the "demnition bow-wows" under
Republican rule. Mr. EWING'S latest
periodical visitation upon the patience of
his ruined countrymen appears in a Cin
cinnati paper of the 2nd. He declares, in
ponderous periods, that everything is
all wrong, and getting worse every day.
It is said that Mr. Mmenn Ftmstonz
agreeillvith him in thisi saddening view.
If the latter could be induced to say so,
in ten solid columns of a Buffalo news
paper, it would afford s unerring an in
dication of another Re blican victory in
New York, as we gather, for Ohio, from
Mr. Ewnto's recent jeremiad. The
mighty current of events rolls on, over
these venerable fossils, boulders of the
glacial period, fast anchored to the bottom.
I KNOW a man by the company he pre
fers! Mr. Asa Packer, whose cordial
, libspitalities were extended to Vallandig-•
ham in 1.662, had also another Ohio friend
by the name of Pendleton. The latter
i was in Congress in '64 and voted against
a resolution introduced by Gen. Smith,
of Ky., and which expressed a terribly
Radical idea as follows:
~A THEREAS, A most desperate, wick
ed abd bloody rebellion exists within the
jurisdiction of the "United States, and the
safety and security of personal and na
tional liberty depend upon its utter and
absolute extinction; therefore,
Resolved, That it is the political. civil,
moral - and sacred duty of the people to
meet it, fight it and crash it, and forever
destroy it.
Mr. Pendleton was one of the sixteen
nays recorded against that resolution.
HIS friend Packei would have made the
number seventeen, if he had been a mem
ber. These two men are now candidates
for the highest offices of two great fhates,
put up by the same party, and standing
on the same platform as in '64—one of op
position to the duty of the people to meet,
fight, crush and destroy a wicked rebel
lion. It was crushed, but without the aid
of either of these gentlemen, who now
propose found° as much as they can of
the nation's great work.

The Presbyterian urges the Board m

ments of the Sunday-schools under its

done, instead of using those prepared by

the plan is popular and generally intro
