If anything woro noedod to provo tho
fact that tho Democratic party U a
doublo-fucod organisation tho rocout con
tentions of tho party hold in Ohio nnd
Pennsylvania would furnish conciuiivo
ovidenco to all tho doubtors. Tho Ohio
Democrats adopted n platform containing
a plank deprecating a prutoctivo tarill';
the 1'onnaylvania Democrats adopted tho
platform of their Ohio brothora witli tho
exception of tho anti-protection plank
which they struck out. This is Democ
racy. In "protection" localities tho parly
advocatos protection ; in free trado com
munities it advocates freo trndo, anil as a
national organization it is neither llsh,

If we may beliovo the testimony of divinoi

If hanging is an institution to bo main
tained, because it is a method by which
society gets rid of dangcroua characters,
we have neither heard nor read any ar
guments that havu convinced ua that this
it a fact. If killing is necessary, theru
aro many better mothods of Inking life
than the method of tho noose. To die by
the cord It not a painful death ; and tho
formalities which surround an execution

injurad than bonetlted by tho di spiny.
It a roan must bo killod, kill him in a
