President Andrew Jackson "Old
Hickory" sept General Scott to
South Carolina in 1832 to put down
an attempted nullification of the Uni
ted States lawj. President Grant has
done the same tbinir now. for a like
reason. Jackson then issued a proc
lamation so has Grant now. And
yet the pretended Jacksonian Demo
crats of to-day are the fiercest of
those who now denounce the Jack
8oniaa policy ! Verily, there has been
a change in the Democracy since
Jackson's time.
- Democratic speakers all allude to
" Republican wisirovcrnmeut for six
toen yean," but they fail to specify
that of those sixteen yeais the first
four, from. 1861 to 18G5, wre particu
larly objectionable : for then it was
that not only ballota but bullets were
required to keep tho Democracy Irom
destroying the Union.
$2 vm annum:
THE ISSUES STATED. ,
It is not difficult to draw jhe line
between the two political parlies, at
this time, or to point out the duty of
M patriots in the pending political
struggle. The Democratic party bas
es its appeal to the people ou the cry
of Reform. Tho St. Louis platfroni
defines what the party means by Re
form, and Tildcn's lcttei shows what
construction he puts on tho word. The
party affirms that Republican officials
are corrupt, and that they ehould be
substituted by Democrats, who, we
suppose, are thought got to b 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, and
gave itsol fup to the investigation of offi
cials. It spent $1,000,000 and had
at command and freely used the com
pulsory process, to secure the attend
ance of vUnes93es. It imprisoned wit
nesses to forca them to give evideuce.
It looked into private telegrams, and
even into private bank accounts, and
exbatrsted 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, butswot
convicted.
Mr. Tilden 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 41 per cent. ' lie really
appears to be aiming his blows at Bu
chanan, who plunged the country in
debt $68,000,000 during his adminis
tration. At all events the evidence is
at hand to show that his remarks do
net apply to the Republican party.
So far from running in debt, -we have
paid over $600,000,000 on the debt
since the war, reduced direct taxation
over $200,000,000 a year, arid thia,
While adding 830,000,000 a year to the
expenses of tho Government by our
charity, in opening the advantages of
the Government to ex-rebels. We
iave 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
demand which Tilden makes in tho
name of reform.
What assuranco have we that lie
would give us reform, even where
needed? What is his life? In basiness,
dealer and speculator in broken
down railroads, with accusations of
dishonesty and fraud, sworn to against
him in a number ot crises. As a tax
payer, a proven swindler of the govern
ment, his non payment on tax ac
count being estimated at from $150,-
000 to $200,000. As a politician, a
copperhead during tho war, as a sym
pathizer with the ex-rebel element
since. JNot an utterance has been
made 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 John Mor
rissey to-day. Do the upright and
Christian people of the country wish
to be led in the paths of reform by
such an one?
His reforms are to bo vrouht out
under the auspices of the Democratic
party. What claims has it on tho
confidence of the people? It inaugra
ted rebellion, simply because the peo
ple constitutionally and properly elec
ted Abraham Lincoln President ofthe
United States. It supported the South
during all the rebellion with its sym
nathy and moral aid, declaring in the
last days ot the war that it was a fail
ure. It lias obstructed peaceful recon
8truction, and done all in its power to
rekindle the harsh and violent spirit
ofthe South. It defended the Ku
klux and White-Lineri, and has either
palliated or definitely defended the
course of intimidation and murder un
doubtedly pursued at the South. In
the House it has brought forward bills
proposing to pay rebel losses incurred
in the war, and to refund cottSu
claims, the two aggregating over $2,-
500,000,000, or more than our na
tional debt. The enormity and impu
i m . 1 l it
deuce oi this claim is beyond ail ex
pression. To originate a war with no
better reason than they had, and fight
on year alter year, creating the neces
eitv for a largo national debt, besides
causing the death of thousands of iu
uoctnt persons, and then demand com
pensation for losses incurred by that
rebellion, is one ofthe mout impudent
assumptions knowu. let the Demo
cratic party has entertained bills look
intr to the raviucut of such claims, and
c - i v 1
they are pending before the House at
the prCtent.

American people can encournge each
an outrage-. -. We-are glad to notice
that Mr. Cochrane pledges himself not
to vote for such bills; but, unfortu
nately for him, whilo this shows the
right charncler of his personal feelings
on the subject, it furnishes no argu
ment for his election. Both he and'
Mr. Hopkins will act generally "with
their party, and did their votes give
it power, they would also cive it the
organization of the House. Onco it
md this much, it could dispense with
their direct aid iu the other particular.
t would have committees that would
arrange all thoso claims, and prepare
them for passage. . Our only safety is
to keep the Democracy from powr.
Their policy has been, and will be, to
follow out the line already marked.

bad, Southern outrages, and the char
acteristic purpose of the rebels to sad
dle upon the North their war losses,
will be realized. The Republican .
party has proven itself the party of
Reform by openly permitting the dis
cussion within its ranks, of all practi
cal measures of Reform. It tried the
Civil Service Reform proposed, and"
ias been onen to anvthino- that would--
. o
give purity and economy to the admin
istration ot the country. It may have,
an occasional person iu its service of .
dishonest proclivities, but it has been
demonstrated, over and over again,
that as a party it is far purer, in all
the essentials of honesty, than is the
Democratic party. Stand by tha en

SAMUEL AND FORT WAYNE.
While 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 tlio 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 s desirable. He shows
that Tilden secure J the sale of the
Fort "Wayne road, being one of the
purchasing committee, the needs of
sale, drawn by Mr. Tilden, being exe
cuted in March, looz, the sale having
been made the month previous, lbat
he received large compensation for tho
Bervices rendered, most of which were
performed in 1862, is morally certain,
although tho specific evidence of the
fact is not attaiuable. Tho correspon
dence shows that in 1869, Tilden so
cured the leise of the Fort Wayne
road to the Pennsylvania Company,
and speculated largely iu its stocks,
acting on the knowledge he had of the
conditions of the lease, and its effect
in giving value to tho stock. , In this
single operation, besides the, $0,000
he received tor drawing me necessary
papers, ho made a million or more.
This fee, at least, cornea within the
purview ot ma income tax. . ihis
amount is clearly ascertained to have
been paid: nd yet the services ren
dered were not comparable with thoso
rendered in 1862, and for which ho
was paid, it is not known how much.
Kevelations are soon to come from
the Brady's Bond Iron Company, in a
way that will be tangible and convin
cing, ihus as time passes we gather
more and more the thread? of evidence
that render it at least morally certaiu
that, iu swearing to his income tax for
1862, he committed perjury; while in
his railroad wrecking operations; ho
has made large hums of nvji.ev, on
which ho has not at any time paid his
income tax. Thus he has swindled
tho Government, and this at a tiuio
when ha was amply able to pay his
tax, and when tho Government so sad
ly needed the money to prosecute tho
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 political saint, who cannot
endure the corruptions of the Repub
lican party. Ibis is tho high minded
honorable uiae, who only seeks to do
that which is right, and cannot toler
ate the Republican administration be
cause it docs not live within its income.
Such lofty purity compares with that
of lwee-d, who, a year before his fall,
along with Iililen. prated ol reform m
the politics of New York and the coun
try. Can any oue fail to see the utter
hypocrisy of all his pretenses, and tho.
wickeduesj of the man? Ho a Reform
er ! It is no more than Tweed professed
to be. We imagine the people under
stand too clearly how utterly worth
less in his prctenso of reform to be
governed by it farther. AVe have
littlo fear that Samuel J. Tilden will
carry his system of railway manage
ment into the administration of the
United States Government. iV'M..
