..." Scid, December, 11th, 18G3.
Editor States RionTs Democrat :
There appears to be au effort on the part
of some Democrats to lead the Democratic
. party into the support of Mr. Johnson's
. . Administration. We claim to be an hum-
oie memuer ot mat party, nnu we cannot
t 1 - 1 A . , . " . .I
fC how wo can make a consistent record,
and support the present Administration.
In the Srsi place, Mr. Johnjou was elect
ed on a platform of principle directly in
opjKJsUion. to the platform of the Dcmo
: era tic party, and we have not been able to
. jBee wherein he has deviated lY.nn the plat
fona on which he was electedthcreforo
,wo cannot see the consistency of Demo
crats supporting his policy. If the Dem
ocratic party is founded on the principles
four government, and was formed by
the founders and. preservers of our insti
tutions kt us preserve it in its purity,
and perpetuate the principles of our illus
triojia ancestors to. future generations.
'But' if the party is Composed of oGce
ioekers and 2eniaojiues, who are willing
to support the measures f auy person
? jrho may have the , power to confer some
lucratite offices, regartiless of the welfare
of the nation, or the perpetuity of our
present form of government j if corrup-
lion has seized the vitals of the "party.
and there is not enough true genuine de
votion to principles left in it to throw off
s-.thia corrupting influence, then we would
: propose to change the name ot the party
from D:m-craiic to Sefphnnli:t in cr-
- vder not to disijttace bartv name, that has I
. , - i
"became almost sacred. AVe, however,!
- no lit Y.nsiA in t1i MifipmUc n? tln
goverumeut, which the founders of the
Democratic party designed to porpcnae;
Jbut in our limited investigations, we have
not been able ta see where, or when, they
; tfaTored the trying and hanging of women
"and men by military courts; the arresting.
, and coafiuing of American citizens for ex
pressing their sentiments; the setting
r aside ot , elections because the people re
fuse, to elost persons h djing to certain
principles which hay abhar ; compelling
States to alter their Constitutions before
,r they are allowed to send their represent
atives to Congress, or even to elect their
State officers, i The suppression of news--r
papers, and the suspension of civij courts,
nd many other acts which are pcrpetrat
'cd by Mr.' Johnson, we thiuh, were not
ia use ia the good old days when the
'principles of the government on which
';. he . Democratic party s founded, were
maintained and practiced, by those who
j f were" in anthiity. We would be glad if
Jlr. Johnson Would pursue a course thjt
we could endorse without sacrificing our
principles, but if his future is to corres
- --pond with his past course, we cannot see
'" now. a Democrat can support him and
maintiua tiJS integrity.

Of Fiji -. I. Vai.it.. A leading com
mercial paper in New York asserts that
fully one-third ofviill the legal tender notes
iu circulation arc counterfeit. Well, sup
pope they arc what's the difference?
n(risica!lv. the notes made by com,
counterfeiting rogue who simply breaks
a law in making them, are worth just ns
much as the notes mndo by Constitution
breakers. If the pictures and coloring,
and all that, are just 'us pretty on the
spurious as on the genuine note?, what
more need be requjred. In ten, aye.
perhaps, in less than fi,i! years, one will
be worth just as much a the other for
any purpose. No doubt the estimate of
counterfeit notes is stated too low by the
New York paper. Who can diF-tingtii; h
them unerringly? They are taken daily
at all the Treasury clbees and Depart
ments, and not crcti the makers of the
genuine notes in Washington can identify
the rood from the bad. It is but a new
mode for iiHToa?-ing the. public debt.
