Another Change of Base!Democracy In a New Kolc I

I want to be a Boldior,

A knapsack on my shoulder,'

Greeleyiam In 1873 and Tilden reform la 1870and the cry of fraud having failed to bring th<necessary relief, Democracy now appears In tnew "role," and plays soldier!

Having for the past twenty years fought,starved, and berated the Union army, and in-variably turned a cold shoulder to the men whovolunteered to defend their conntry, it israther lato in the day to appear in theirplay. Bat something must be done totheir party from sinking, aDd so tbey decidedto become immensely patriotic and nomiia aoldier for President-Gen. Winfield ScottHancock, of Pennsylvania.

In this new departure they have soplctely overdone the thing that it will deleatitself. General Hancock is a professional sol-dier. He has been in the army since hesixteen years of age. He was in the armywhen the war broke out and he has been thereever since. Soldiering is the business of hisItfe. The nomination of a purely military rfor President has little significance eitherway or the other. If the Democracy desired toshow a real regard for the principles for whichthe Union soldiers fought, they should hinominated one of the citizen soldiers, likeGrant, or Hayes, or Garfleld, who did not makefighting their profession, but left tho peacefulpursuits of industry and volunteered their servi-ces in the hoar of their country's peril.

Democracy has thrown overboard its ableststatesmen, like Bayard, Thurman, Field andRandal], and nominated a man, who from hiseducation, profession, and total want of erience, is wholly unfit for the place. As adldate for a civil office they selected thepoorest one in the whole liBt of seventeen,simply to make a little show of patriotism,failed in that.

Ths mass of citizens who served in the U;army were volunteers, not regulars. Theywent into the army out of a sense of duty.When the war was over, they returned to theirhomes, and as citizens and voters they havestruggled to maintain the principles for which

. they fought. They have no particular anxietyto vote for a man simply because he belongs tcthe army. But they will stand by the gallan!citizen soldier and statesman, who siuce tbtwar has in the halls of Congress maintainedthose principles as fearlessly and as triumph-antly as he did in the field !

This little attempt of Democracy to plajsoldier, is simply ridicuJous-the merest farce-and will fail as completely as Tilden reformand the cry of fraud.

Their candidate for Vice-President ia Wm. H.English, a Confederate sympathizer from In-diana, who went don n on his knees to theSouth, ana ha* always aeld himself ready to doits bidding.

this sudden burst of patriotism is altogetherto much of a put up job. Rebel Democracycan't sail ils piratical ship into port this fa!]Under any such false colors as these!

A Vindication Worth Having!

Something to bo Jfroud of.We give this week a liberal space to the

flood of voluntary and valuable testimony as tothe noble character of our candidate for Presi-dent. We also print two documents from Mr.Garfleld himself relative to the groundless andmalicious charges mode against his official in-tegrity. On our first page we print in full his

. statement in regard to his acting as attorneyfor DeGolyer, as the grossest misrepresentationshave been set afloat iu regard to it. We printthese documents thus early in order that onrreaders may be thoroughly informed, and pre-pared to intelligently refute the false represen-tations at the very threshold. It will be Beenthat Mr. Garfield's business as attorney hadnothing to do with the appropriations of Con-gress, and that he had nothing to do with thetrade between the Government and DeGoljer.

. On this page we give the history of the CreditMobilier matter in his own words, backed upby a letter from no less distinguished a Demo-crat than Jeremiah A. Black, Attorney Generalunder the last Democratic national administra-tion, and honored by the Democracy of Penn-

' sylvania with the highest position within theirgift, that of Justice of the Supreme Court. Wetrust all good Democrats will read his letter

: carefully, wherein he confirms all that is as-serted by Garfield, and pays the highest pos-sible tribute to his character, It will be foundin the list of "Democratic Endorsements ofGarfield,"

Our readers will observe that all the slanderof Garneld on the Credit Mobilier question isbased on the testimony of Oakes Ames, a manexpelled from Conscreea on accotint of his ras-cality. Certain extracts from the New YorkTribune of 1873 are paraded by the Democraticptess, as though of some significance. But twothings will be borne in mind. The Tribune wasthen, a eemi-Demoeratic organ, Just emergingfrom the bitterness of the Greeley campaign.Second, all that the Tribune reported was, aswe have said, based on the testimony of theman who was afterward found so unworthy ofconfidence that he was expelled from Congress.IE the mud-slinging Democracy wish to putreckless and incoherent assertions of that out-cast against the unanimous verdicts ot Con-gressional committees appointed by distin-guished Democrats, and the universal testimonyof the representative statesmen of both politicalparties, and tho unqualified endorsement of thereligious press of the country, let them go on intheir mad careej-. They are simply digging aelime pit for their own burial.

The Democracy pride themselves on thecharacter and official.record of Mr. Randall,their Speaker of the House of Representatives.They will please note the fact that Mr. Randallselected James A. Garfield ae the most worthymember for ehairman of the most im-portant cijrnmittee of the House, the committeeof Ways and Means. Will Democrats pleasereflect. Whose opinion is of the most value, S.8. Cox, Democratic Speaker pro tem of theHouse, in 18T3, S, J. Randall, DemocraticSpeaker of the House in 1ST3, the old Demo-cratic war horse of Pennsylvania, Judge J. S.Black, or Oakes Ames and the scandal-mongerDana, of the New York Sun ?

Republicans, aye, citizens of the UnitedStates irrespective of party, have occasion tofeel proud of the clean record of Mr. Garfield.They have reason to be proud of the fact thattne best and purest men of the land are selectedas the chief magistrates of onr great Republic.

The mnd-slingers' career in this campaignwill be of short duration. They have alreadyabout exhausted their ammunition, and will beglad to go into summer quarters. We shallprobably have occasion to say but little morein reply to their calumnies, and can hereaftergive attention to the discussion of the vitalissues of the campaign.

Irish Bepubllcan National Convention.A call, signed by representative Irishmen f r

almost every State, has been issued for an IiRepublican National convention to be heldIndianapolis on the 14th of July. Farther par-ticulars hereafter.

®"The Albany Journal puts a hard connn-drum to the Argus when it asks that paper toexplain how it is, if Gen. Garfield is the pirate,thief, burglar, assassin, incendiary and whatnot, that certain Democratic papers say he is,Speaker Randall, who has known the Generalfor years, named this monster of unspeakableiniquity to lead all other Republicans of themoat important of the congressional committees—tee committee on waya and means ?

mSn say olaBlmf *rked last week that no respectable

Democratic Journal bad assailed the characterof Garfleld. On the other hand, many Democratic journals are outspoken In his defence.Tho entire Democratic press of Washingtondenounce the attempt to scandalize him. TheSunday Herald Baya: "The Democrats will hav

find some other way to defeat the Republicacandidate."

Another Swindle.TheOwego ?«?«;«says: Swindlers purporting

a be ageuts of the Detroit Spring Bed Com-iany, have been operating extensively andluccessfnlly around Watertown. One farmerwas victimized to the amount of $170, anothera $100, and a number to a lesser amount. Theswindle is worked by taking orders for thelatent bed at $4, -which is, as they say, dog;heap, and which anybodiLcan see will readilysell at several times the amount. The order;urns out to be a negotiable promissory note,A'hich ia the hands of a third or innocent ^artyis valid and can be collected from the maker.Thswindlers did not fully succeed, however,
