[ —————— THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: FRIDAY, AiJGUST 1, 18%3. THE DEMGCRATIC PARTY. What “an 0ld Jackson Demo- crat” Thinks of It. *Spwing of Dry Bones by tho Missouri Republioan. Paratyna, Moy, duly 29, 1870, o the Kditor of The Chicago Lribune : 8m: Qo whero you will, avon in Missourl, and talk with any fair-minded, thinking man about ‘what 18 callod tho Democratio party, and ho will at onco ngreo that ite powor to acoomplish good for the country 18 GONE, That thin conviotion hns obtained North and Eant, and eannot bo removod, we suspect no ono will deny. Certainly all geo that the North thus united as againgt any party makes it, if it con~ tinues to oxist at all, n moro local afair. Tho Missouri Republican, in ite londor of the 16th fuut., bonsts that tho Domocratie party hna tho ascondoney In tho soven States of Maryland, Missouti, Kontucky, Goorgis, Tennosseo, lexas, and Virginin, and insists that it still lives and {s ready to fight, What if it do hold ns- condoncy in snid sovon States? What doos that aecendoncy amount to? Giyo it soven morg Btates, all'of tho so-cnllad Bouthorn Btates, if you pleaso ; and yot what docs the nscondotoy amount to? Bo far aa tho control of tho Foderal Govornment is concorned, or tho * checking tho oxisling tondoncies to tho utter demoralization of tho politics of the country,” it amounts to simply NOTRING AT ALL. It may hiero and thore lift into ofiice a potty politiclan whoso lovo of country is strictly bounded by his hopos of individual proformont ’; but, for all !u'nc'.lcal and uzoful purposcs in the proper and honost administration of the affalrs ot ‘this great nution, it muat over remain & “dend-bont,” How 18 it maintained in ite prosont woak and powerloss condition? Why ‘doos it not pass awny? It is woll known that it owes its ascond- cuoy in tho soven Stutes not to any policies of fiavnmmcnt proclaimed by tho party and ine orsed by tho }mopln_.—[ar it ing avowed nono, "Irno, at various points, so-culled Domocratic platforms and policics ure published; but thoy aro ¥o diverso a8 to show that tho Doemocratio mind lay ‘ NO COMMON POLIOY,~— no common political bond of prineipla. ‘The_Democratic Convention in Missourd, in 1872, indorxed the Cincinuati Platform. That indorsement, if honost, would hava buried deop tho hates and pru{ndlcca of tho War, and little politicians would have boen deprived of all their olitical cepital, and conld no longer havo hoped o control thoir respoctive localitics 8o ns to so- onre to themselves the oflices of Bhoriff, Clerk, Conotablo, &e. But tho indorsomont was a farco, IF NOT A FRAUD. Mruy of tho would-bo leadars, fresh from the Convention, condemned tho platform thoy had voted for, and foll back upon aud operated old war-issucs in tho Stete and connty canvaseog. With theso would-bo leaders the Afissouri e~ publican holds strango rolations. Again and again hos that ors{nu uttored in bold torms its decided and honesl conviction that the Domo- eratic party in poworless for good, and ought to regolye itsoll back into the people.” And na ofton havo the mmtteringo of thoso littlo loaders in the State driven it bnck into old party-ruts, and it — ... hao folt conmpolled to SAW TIf OLD, DRY BONES of Darty, to reinstato iteolt in favor and rotain their patronngo.

A journoy to Vionun to Hoo the ition has nover boon considored ; but the oxpenso such a visit would involve, and the om- barragsmont which it would eausa to the Aus- trian Court, have from the beginning rondered it, if not ubsolutoly imponsiblc, ut loaut bighly improbable. “'ho main oceupation of tho fair Tmpress, beside her oxtonsive corrogpoudonco, contiats (n_wandoring, accompaniod by on old sorvaut of Queon Iortonse's, through tho ooms of tho Lioyeo and tho grounds around it; ull tho objects of intorest and all tho momoriala of tho berutiful Queon are carofully noticad, aud hor fayorite reating-places have boon adopted by Lor feir daughtor-in-law, Bven the humblest neighbors down to the poor ponsants on tho near mountain slopes, who had over como in contaot with Hortenso, huve already boon noted down, and will rocoive n visit from tho widowed Empross.

The murdorer used o Lonyil ly-loaded shot-gun for the purpose, and placed the muzzla clono to tha body'of bhis victim boforo dinchirge ing the picco, t0 bo sure of accomplishing lia purpose. A numbor of shot wore oxtracta by tho™ surgoon, but many others could not ba found, and tho wounds Wwere pronouncod fatal. Cooper continued to sink gradually il day Tuos- day, but was alivo whon tho Bhoriil loft for Mil- waukeo T““dni evoning, although by that timo unconscious and unable to spenk. ‘Whon Cua}mr way first shot ho sprang out of bed and confrontod his murdoror, ko that ho could idontify him beyond question, Upon his information Houghton was Immediately arrosted by Bhorlfl Yoss, and doos nob dony tho shooting, On tho othor hand ho confessos nothing, but whon confroutod with Gooper, said, It had got to como to that.” Ho aloo’ tauntingly ssked Cooper ** How lio liked it,” and oxpres¢od an ar- dent wish that ho might’ live long cnongh to * guffer o littlo," Houghton is of English birth, and is said to Davo respectablo and wenlthy relativos there, e sottled in Manisteo aftor tho war, aud was for #omo timo boolkkeopor for A, Mauuel & Co., of that Elnco.
