A Democratic journal asks, in
view of the "Xcw Departure,"
"Where rs the necessity of adopting
a platform that neeehj; an explanation
to understand it, and a long argu
ment to show that it is not made up
of Radical principles
The questioner is greatly disturb
ed, as well he may be, at the utter
demoralization and in scrupulous
ness which now, and has for
years, characterized the Democracy
of the North. lie is evidently
ashamed of the reckless disregawl of
principle, the unscrupulousr.ess
which prompts the leaders to rush
into any and every expedient which
promises success to their ticket. He
knows that the enlightened Demo
crat of to-day, who loves consisten
cy and truth, who believes in a,
clear and well-defined code of party
principles, cannot contemplate the
moral of the Democratic party, as it
j iow exists, without experiencing a
revulsion of feeling, ' causing the
blush of shame and disgust to man
tle his cheek. The writer of
this same paragraph thinks that to
make a political canvass on a Ue
publican platform, as lie interprets
the "Xew Departure" to be, is pre
suming on the ignorance and stu
pidity of the people, and is a losing
game. W e candidly agree m that
sentiment, and are glad that some of
-the Democracy, at least, are begin
ning to speak out against such mis
erable hypocrisy and duplicity. In
dividuality ar.d consistency are qual
ities as necessary to party dignity
and independer.ee of character, as
individual manhood. A party
whose real characteristics and fun
damental principles are diabolical,
should never hope to hide its cloven
feet beneath a cloak of consistency
and -truth. Hypocrisy is too much
like its father, the devil, to remain
Hong unexposed. Hence the attempt
of the Democracy to cover up its de
formity under a Republican mantle
of consistency and established poli
cy, will re-act upon itself to the bene
fit of the Republican party. Dem
ocrats cannot fail to see, that if the
"Departure" is right, the Republi
can party has been right from the
ljeginning, and will naturally con
clude to join the party that has been
uniformly consistent and faithful to
its principles. This being the logic
of the "Xew Departure," as argued
by this journalist, aud others, how
are they to relieve themselves of
this dilemma ? This writer answers,
by "coming back to clear Democrat
ic principles." In other words, the
Northern Democracy, having back
slid from the faith, and gone after
strange gods, must return to the
faith from which it departed, and
' "do its first works over again."
And where may that true faith be
found those "clear Democratic
principles ?" We answer, among
Southern Democratic politicians.
This backsliding' in tlie Northern
.Democracy has nearly ail of it trans
pired, since the "clear Democratic
principles," were all concentrated in
the late effort of the Southern De
mocracy to overthrow the General
CI o vemment. Secession and rebell
ion were the legitimate fruits of
"clear Democratic principles." The
protection and extension of 'human
slavery, the doctrine of states-rights,
and an aristocracy ,based on color and
a property qualification, were the
fundamental doctrines of "clear
Democratic principles" which cul
minated in the late rebellion. It
cannot be successfully controverted,
that previous to the rebellion, South
ern Democracy made the platforms,
and controlled thj general policy of
the Democratic party.
As the Southern Democracy, pre
vious to the rebellion, made the most
essential planks in the Democratic
platforms, and controlled the gen
eral policy of the party, and has re
mained consistent up to the present
time to its ancient faith, so far as
' :. results of the war pemiit, it can
not bo successfully controverted,
that thcjrii:ciples it now advocates,
are the best expositions of "clear
Democratic principles'." Therefore,
in order to return to "clear Demo
cratic prii.ciples," ti e policy now ad
vocated by Southern leaders of the
Democratic party, must be adopted
bv the Northern Dcmteraev. It
must draw its inspiration from
the principles now advocated by
such men as Alexander II. Stephens,
of Georgia, and Mr. Beauregard,
! of Louisiana. And now bv arriving
j at the purposes which these men and
! Southern leaders generally wish to
j euro, we res eh ti e principles of
''clear Democracy." 'J he Southern
leaders avow that they will never
again attempt secession. Their late
attempt in that direction they look
upon as a mistake not a crime be
lieving that they should have fought
nndtii' the Hag, and not aytrhitt it.
They still cherish the hope, how
ever, of being restored to political
power, when they contemplate un
:loinj all that the irur fuai'ift-coiti-pltefiCi?.
They then- ayx'ct to dis
franchise the tiffroy to jnty te
rebel -trar debt, and compensate
themselves far the hwe$ uiancl
jxifed. For these purposes, they
organized the Ku Klux in 1807,
whose purpose, as now clearly do-
; monstraled by the recent investiga
I tiji.s of the Congressional Cemmit
I tee in Washington, is to contra! the
flections i'U throu-yh the Sottth by
j means of int im hint ion , f -Kv', awl
fraud. These are principles and
purposes in per'ect eousonance with
the "clear Democratic principles,"
which gave ideas and platforms to
the Democratic party of the nation,
previous to the war, and to which
the Northern Democracy are so
earnestly exhorted to return.
We do not think that Northern
Democrats those who have ac
cepted the "New Departure" are
willing to return and become a party
to the dissemination and practical
success of such pernicious principles.
Wo cannot think that they are prc
pared to place themselves under the
leadership of those aristoeratc men,
lovers of human bondage, anelbaters
of the poor, who so lately bathed
their rebel hands in fratricidal blood,
rather than submit to the majority
rule, on which 'Democratic govern
ments are based. Their true place
is in the Republican party, whose
principles are clearly defined, and
faithfully administered, and where
they are always welcome.

The Xew York authorities are
now giving evidence that they are
in earnest in their avowed deter
mination to bring the Tammany
thieves to account for their crimes
before a judicial tribunal. We reael
in the New York dispatches of the
27th Oct., that Tweed is arrested
and held to bail in the sum of one
million dollars. This Ls practical
evidence tliat the authorities of
Xew - York mean business. The
Tammany Ring had become so pow
erful and rich, being the leading
element of power in the Democrat
ic party of the country, and -having
amassed 'immense sums of money
through dishonesty and theft, that
tlx) proljability of their being ar
raigned before a court of justice,
aud tried for their robberies, like
thieves of less notoriety, seemed very
uncertain indeed. Justice, wbose
claims are not influenced by wealth,
or titles, or position ; whose : de
mands are impartial,, : and, whoso
judgments are commensurate "with
the enonnity of the crimes, calls for
a strict aud impartial trial of these
enormous criminals ; and when a
verdict of guilty is . pronounced
against them, as assuredly it will be
if justice presides, let the punishment
swiftly follow, and let it be com
mensurate with the magnitude and
criminality of the offense.

From Santa Cruz, Oct. 30th, we
learn that Wm. G. Moore, an old

NeJtSf lia dfwned more men than
they ai-e forbieklen to tise them except
when absolutely neeesiary, and are for
bidden to attempt to discover by these
whether another ier.olii i a member of
the order, unless some i substantial rea
son exists for knowing it. They must
under no circumstances talk to any one
who is not a member of the same klan
about any matter with which the order
is conuected, or about the order itself;
and after any act is done by. the klan,
no one must speak of anything .con
nected with tliat act, even to another
member of the same klan, except to
the chief, and only then when it is im
portant to do so. In each' klan the
members know each other and their
own chief, but, except through neces
sity or accident, have no knowledge of
what other persons belong to the order.
When individual members or the
whole of different klan, meet for work,
each member is required to avoiel, if
possible, knowing who any other indi
vidual is.
Each chief of a klan knows auel re
ceives orders from his district chief and
his assistants hut does not, except by
accident, know who are higher otneers.
So district chiefs know the officers next
above them in rank, but not neoessarily
those of a higher grade, bpeeial grips
passwords and signs, known only to
the district and division chiefs,, and
those of higher grade, make it possible
for them, when necces-sary, to make
themselves known officially to the sub
ordinates. It is thiis passible tliat two
men, living in tlie same house, may be
morally certain each that the other is
a ' member of the order ; but, if put
under oath, can not swear from posi
tive knowledge tliat such is the fact.
