President Audrew Jackaon "Old
Hickory" sent General Scott to
South Carolina in 1832 to nut down
an attempted nullification of the Uni
ted States laT4. l'rdsident Grant lias
done the same thing now, for a like
reason. Jacksou.then issued a proc
lamation so ha3 Grant now. And
yet the pretended Jacksonian Demo
crats of to-day are the fiercest of
those who now denounce the Jack
sonian policy ! Verily, there has been
a change in the Democracy tince
Jacksou'u time.
- Deniocrstic speakers all allude to
" Republican tuisgovernnieut for six
teen yearn," but they fail to spocify
that of those sixteen yeais the Jlmt
four, from. 1861 to 18G5, wre particu
larly objectionable ; for then it was
that not only ballots but bullets were
required to kep the Democracy from
destroying tho union.
$2 PER ANNUM.
THE ISSUES STATED.
ii. is uoi. uuncuis io uraw j.ac line
between the two political parliep. at
this time, or to point out the duty of
nil pptriots in the pending political
struggle. The Democratic party bas
es its appeal to tho people ou the cry
of Iieform. Tho ot. Louis platfrom
defiues what the party means by Re
form, and Tildcn's lettei shows what
construction he puts on tho word. The
party affirms that Republican officials
are corrupt, and that they should be
substituted by Democrats, who, we
suppose, are thought uot to be corrupt.
This can be easily tested. Under tho
advice of the New York World, the
Democratic House last winter deliber
ately put aside all attempt.' to legis
late for the good of the country, nnd
gaveitsolfup to the investigation of offi
cials. It spent SI, 000,000 and had
at command and freely used the com
pulsory process, to secure the attend
ance of witnessses. It imprisoned wit
nesses to force them to give evidence.
It looked into private telegrams, and
even into private bank accounts, and
exhatrsted its ingenuity and power to
get evidence. Every rumor and scan
dal that had been afloat for ten years,
was inquired into, and not a stone was
left unturned, that promised results.
If the charge of corruption was not
fastened on Republican officials, it is
fair to presume it was because It could
not be. Yet as the result of all this
expenditure of money and effort, Bel
knap was charged with crime, butwot
convicted.
Mr. Tildcn claims in his lottcr of
accept? nee that Reform is needed be
cause the finances are corruptly ad
ministered, the Government not liv
ing within its income ; and that the
test of economy would be the funding
of tho debt at 4 per cent. lie really
appears to be aiming his blows at Bu
chanan, who plunged the countrj in
debt $68,000,000 during his adminis
tration. At all events the evidence is
at hand to show that his remarks do
not apply to the Republican party.
So far from running in r!ebt,-we have
paid over $600,000,000 on the debt
since the war, reduced direct taxation
over $200,000,000 a year, and this,
while adding $30,000,000 a year to the
expenses of tho Government by our
charity, in opening the advantages of
the Government to ex-rebels. We
have reduced the annual interest on
tho public debt 40.000,000 and are
rapidly refunding the debt at 4 per
cent. In brief, we have realized every
demaud which Tildcn makes in the
name of reform.
What assurance have wo that lie
would give us reform, even where
needed? What is his life? In business,
a dealer and speculator in broken
down railroads, with accusations of
dishonesty and fraud, sworn to against
him in a number of cases. As a tax
payer, a proven swindler of the govern
ment, his nou payment on tax ac
count being estimated at from $150,
000 to $200,000. As a politician, a
copperhead during tho war, ns a sym
pathizer with the ex-rebel element
since. Not an utterance has been
mado by Tilden that would indicate
any lack of sympathy with the most
extreme Southern element at this time.
As a local politician, the friend of
Tweed till the latter was broken, and
the friend and associate of Johu Mor
risscy to-day. Do the upright and
Christian peopla of the country wish
to be led in tho paths of reform by
such an one ?
His reforms are to bo wrought out
under the auspices of the Democratic
party. What claims has it on the
confidence of the people? It inaugra
ted rebellion, simply because the peo
ple constitutionally and properly elec
tod Abraham Lincoln President ofthe
United States. It supported the South
during all the rebellion with its sym-
f atliy and moral aid, declaring in the
ubt days of the war that it was a fail
ure. It has obstructed peaceful recon
struction, and done all in its power to
rekindle the harsh and violent spirit
ofthe South. It defended the Ku
klux ami White. Liners, and has either
palliated or definitely defended the
course of intimidation and murder un
doubtedly pursued at tho South. In
the House it has brought forward bills
proposing to jiay rebel losses incurred
in the war, and to refund cotton
claims, the two aggregating over $2,
500,000,000, or more than our na
tional debt. The enormity and impu
dence of this claim is beyoud all ex
pression. To originate a war with no
better reason than they had, and fight
on year after year, creatine the neces
sity for a largo nationaMficbt, besides
causing the death of thousands of iu
uocent persons, and then demand com
pensation for losses incurred by that
rebellion, is one ofthe most impudent
assumptions known. Yet tho Demo
cratic party has entertained bills look
ing to the payment of such claims, and
they are pending before the House at
the present.

Amebian people can encourage such
an outrage. We are glad to notice
that Mr. Cochrane pledges himself not
to vote lor such bills; but, unfortu
nately for him, while this shows the
right character of his personal feelings
on the subject, it furnishes no -argument
for his election. Both he and
Mr. Hopkins will act generally "with
their party, and did their votes give
it power, they would also give it the
organization of the House. Once it
had this much, it could dispense with
their direct aid iu the other particular.
It would have committees that would
arrange all those claims, and prepare
them tor passage. Our only safety is
to keep the Democracy from power.
Their policy has been, and will be, to
follow out the line already marked.
This done, aud all that is vicious and
bad, Southern outrages, and the char
acteristic purpose ofthe rebels to sad
dle upon the North their war losses,
will be realized. Tho Republican
party has proven itself tho party of
Reform by openly permitting the dis
cussion, within its runks, of all practi
cal measures of Reform. It tried the
Civil Service Reform proposed, and
has been open to anything that would -give
purity andeconoruy to the admin
istration of the country. It may have
an occasional person iu its service of
dishonest proclivities, but it has been
demonstrated, over nnd over again,
that as a party it is far purer, in all

SAMUEL AND FORT WAYNE.
AVhilo it has been known that Mr.
Tilden had connections with the. Fort
Wayne Railroad, and the Pennsylva
nia Company, which must have resul
ted greatly to his financial profit, the
proof of the fact nnd the specifiio
amounts have not been attainable. A
correspondent of tho New York Times
has been cultivating that field, with
some success, but not with the full
result that id desirable. He shows
that Tilden secured the sale of the
Fort Wayne road, beiug one of the
purchasing committee, the deeds of
sale, drawn by Mr. Tilden, being exe
cuted in March, 18G2, tho sale having
been made the month previous. That
he received large compensation for the
services rendered, most of which wero
performed in 1862, is morally certain,
although tho specific evidonco of the
fact is not attainable. . Tho correspon
dence shows that in 1869, Tildcn se
cured the leiso of tho Fort Wayne
road to the Pennsylvania Company,
and speculated largely iu its stocks,
acting on the knowledge he had ofthe
conditions of tho lease, and its effect
in giving value to tho stock. In this
single operation, bc3idc3 the $0,000
lie received tor drawing the necessary
papers, ho made a million or more.
This fee, at least, comes within tho
purview of tho income tax. This
amount is clearly ascertained to have
been paid; and yet the services ren
dered were not comparable with thoso
rendered in 1862, and for which lio
was paid, it is not known how much.
Revelations are soon to come from
the Brady'9 Bond Iron Corapauy, in a
way that will bo tangible and convin
cing. Thus ns time passes we gather
more and more the threadfof evidence
that render it at least morally ccrtaiu
that, in swearing to his income tax for
1862, he committed perjury; while in
his railroad wrecking operations; ho
has made large svuns of nvji.ey, on
which ho has not at any time paid his
income tax. Thus he has swindled
the Government, and this at a titao
when ha was amply able to pay his
tax, and when tho Government so sad
ly needed the money to prosecute the
war of rebellion.. This is the Reform
er who proposes to lift the politics of
the nation up to a position of exalted
purity; the politicnl saint, who cannot
endure the corruptions of the Repub
lican party. This is tho high minded
honorable mut, who only seeks to do
that which is right, and cannot toler
ato tho Republican administration be
cause it does not live within its income.
Such lofty purity compares with that
of Tweed, who, a yt'ar before his fall,
along with Tilden. prated of reform iu
tho politics of New York and the coun
try. Can any one fail to see tho utter
hypocrisy of all his pretenses, and the
wiekediUM of tho man? He a Reform
er ! It is no more than Tweed profsed
to bo. We imagine the peoplo under
stand too clearly how utterly worth
less in his prcteuso of reform to be
governed by it farther. We have
little fear that Samuel J. Tilden will
carry his system of railway manage
ment into the administration of tho
United States Government. Pitta. (?
