Democracy and Repudiation.

Thh fact that the most recent convention of the Democracy of Ohio left out any express announcement of PendleUmifinism, or of repudiation. In any form, has been favorably commented on by the' only Kof that party in the country capaarguing political questions philosophically—the New York World, That paper insists that (his silence dfi'thApart of the Ohio Democracy anthis qpeatfcm of great practicalmoment is evidence that the party in the WM I4 Improving in respect to the matter of national loaotal financial integrity, and may be expected not long hence to take position in favor of the Tull and honest payment of the publicdeM.- 1 ' ' No such compliment, can be claimed for the Ohio Democracy, it seems * We have the word of the principal organ of that party in the State—the Cincinnati Enquirer—that the World is all wrong in its comments; that repudiation was left ont of the platform, not because it was not part of-the party creed, but because of differences of opinion as to’the means of carrying on tMs branch of the political war. Replying tq the New York Democratic journal, the Cincinnati paper says: “ The Democracy or Onto srt divided, and only divided, upon the point Whether any portion or the debt uhontd-be (hid* at-aft.

We-here learn that.{he Democracy not only of Ohio, bat of the Weet, art for repudiation in whole or in part • That the Jinquirer correctly represents the Act, there can bo no doubt No Democn«ejbtirial in the Weak* no convention of that pasts, &2b3m&S«&2BlJtß what is known the world ofter'as. qocraey. The lowest demagogical appeals, the most disgraceful clap traps have been pat ini requisition by that patty in the West on this very point. These .appearand tae claptraps have been so efficacious with the most Ignorant classes of Commraiityv Who form the great balk of tike Democratic party, that it would surely sustain' reftm diation to-day, were if put to vote. That the more intelligent class who remain in the Democratic, party do not desire repudiation, perceive- that it would be utterly ruinous, we veiy cheerfiqlly admit. The misfortune is, they form a small proportion of the DCihCrrSdH' parte,- and are scarcely less heartily disliked bv the rank and file than the most noted Radicals of the land. 1 «*'

It is a netevwott».*Hs tha(,wWJe the Democracy of the West is utterly demoralized In respect M principle Avowing with shameless effrontery doctrines of the most ruinous and disgraceful nature, the Democracy of the East isutterty dtenforalieed In reject to practices. Whilst the Democracy pf the West would inaugurate the most gigantic national -swindle of which there is any aoooimt, the Democracy of the East retains political control of the greatest State of oar republic by the most stupendous frauds upon the ballot, box, by the moet sublime system ’ v 6f ’ ' bTkathig the world has ever seen- There hr no more doubt that the people of New York are under Democratic rule by reason Of the most atrocious political outrages, than there is that the sun shines. We perceive, then, from a view of the whole field, that the Democrats party of the West is unfit to take control of public affairs by reason of its false and- fraudulent principles,. which would inevitably bring the country to rain: and that the Democratic party of the- East is unfit to control affairs because «f its &ke and fraudulent practices, which, If persisted in, would surely rum til free government. It is needless to add-that such a party is entirely unworthy the support of honest and intelligent citizens.— Chicago Post, June 15.
