The number of doaths in this city Inst wook was 822, the samo number as in the proceding weck. A comparison with tho racord of last yoar #hows tho gratifying fact that this mortplity in 96 losa than in the corresponding week of 1872. Inour report of Mr., 8. M. Smith's speoch to tho Farmors at Winchestor, that gontloman was mado to say that ho would **level tho palaco to #ho hut.” What he really said was that ho would 4evel the hut up to tho palaco, which is a very difforont idoa. Ono result of the recont legislation in Italy concorning the sgalo of monastic property has beon » Papal Allocution, for which the Italisn Government waa doubiless prepared. It pro- mounces all that has been done null and void, and warna all participanta in it that thoy will probably bodamned eternally, and have also rendored thiemsolves liable to the major oxcommunication, Tho owners of tho Wawasset have rendered themselves liable by thelr violation of their cor- tifiento, whioh restricted them to fifty passon- gors, to a ponalty of §10 for each passenger, and the refunding of the passnge-mouney.

The Democrats of Maine and Maryland hold ‘Btate Conventions yesterdsy, At Portland, Josoph Titcomb was nominated for Governor, nnd tho rosolutions of the Ohio Domocrats were unanimously adoptod as the platform of the De- mocrnoyof Maine. Tho Baltimore Convention waa of less importance, as its only business waa the nomination of Comptroller of the Currency and of Clerk of the Court of Appesls. Resolutions wero adopted of the usual tenor. Evory new development in the Fort Spelling affair shows it to have beon a most symmetrical swindle, fraudulent in overy point. It now transpires that Steelo paid no taxoes on his prop- orty for thirtoen years, although ho demanded zont for its uso from tho Government and pri- vato partios for tho whole of that time. Ho re- fused payment ou tho ground that the title was in the Government. It 1s now proposed thatthe Btate and county authoritios proceed to recover thoso arrenrs of taxes. The Chicago Evening Journal ia getting wpunky in its old sgo. It not only calls Har- per's Weekly o “boot-licking ™ concern, but it demands that Bonator Carpenter shall tell what ‘tio was doing st Long Branch the other day. It algo rebukos tho Common Couneil in & pointed manner for passing tho livory-stable ordinance. ‘Wo have always known that the Journal was o epirited newapaper, but wo did not expect that it would broak out, like au earthquake, without a _moment's warning, sproading confusion aliko In “the ranke of tho Administration, in the family circle, aud in the councils of the hack-drivers.

A singnlar caso is now on appeal in the United Blatos Suprome Court, In Decembor, 1868, s cago was on trial before tho Mayor of Oharlotte, North Carolina, in which Leo Dunlap, a colorod man, and one CHoason, o whito man, had high words, aftor which Glerson was shot twico and killed. Dunlop waas indicted; tho caso wasro- moved from Mechienburg to Lincoln County, and on tho trial Dunlap was convicted of mur- dor. Howas sontonced tobo bangoed. On an nppoal to the Supremo Court of tho Btate anew trial was granted, In 1871, Dunlap mado an afli- davit, setting forth the fact of his having been o slavo and the projudico against him because of hig color, and asking that the case be transferred to tho United Btates' Courts. Tho local Court ordered the transfor, whoreupon the quos- tion was takon to the State Supremo Court, which tribunal decided that tho accused had tho right, under tho act of Congross known as tho Civil-Itights law, to havo his trial transforred from the Stato to tho United States Courts, Un- dor this docision, tho case waa cortified over to tho United Btates Cirouit Court, which lately hold a sossion at Raleigh. Great preparations wore mado for tho trinl, The Attorney-General of tho Btate nppenred to prosecule, when the Court, Judges Bond and DBrooks, dismissed tho caso, holding that the United Btates Court had no jurisdiotion of the case undor tho Civil-Rights law or any olker law. An appesl has boon taken from this last de- cision to the Supromo Court of tho United Btatos, the State authoritios, strange to say, in- sisting that tho Federal Courts have jurisdic- tion of such cases, and the latter iusieting that thoy bave not. BUTLER'S OAMPAIGN. At this distanco it looks as though Butler “would socuro the Republican nomination for Governorof Massachusotts, The opposition to him is too respoctablo to bo popular. It is also s trifle too pretentious. Mr. Dawes and Mr, Georgo F. Hoar woro hardly qualified to turn up their noses at Butler, apropos of tho salary-grab, Mr. Dawes drow his back-pay just as Gon. Butlor did ; Mr, Hoar sought to buy votes with his by a school donation, whilo Gon. Butler bought votea moro directly. Butler hos his opponents at a dis- advantage here. Ho comos before the poople a bold aggressive, Democratio snlary-grabber, whilo the two gontlomon most active in denouncing him elipped out their share of tho spoils when thoy thiought nobody would notico it. In this juxtaposition the masses aro apt to side with Butler; so that, whilo his letter cunnot in any songe oxouso tho joint grabbing, it i likely to be of porsonal bonefit to him by turning the Iaugh on his opponents, Butler has mechanical advantages for gecuring the nomination which the oppesition canuot roach. Tho action of the Convoution will bo do- tormined at tho primaries. Butler is willing to gpend more monoy to securo tho nomination than Lis opponcuts are to dofeat him. Ho is rich, and & combination of circumatances has made thoe Massachusetts Governorship the chief ambi- tion of ki life. Ho is liboral with his monoy for his own wadvancoment, and pays his own oleotioncoring exponses. IIo has been singulnr- 1y succossful in domagoging tho various clements which control the primsries. Thoe Domoorats, and particularly tho Irish, will assist him thore. e has tho active support of the Foderal officers, including the .Oustom-Ilouses, the Intornal Rovenuo Departments, tho Charleston Navy- Yard, and tho Cholsen Naval Hospital, and near- ly all tho Post-Oftices, ‘Ilicso peoplo ara insido politios, and ean do more ofiiciont servico for Butlor than threo timos their number smong plain citizon-votors, who are in the labit of lot- tlog tho primaries tnko caro of thomselves. ‘Tho passive support of Boutwoll, Richard- son, Roboson, and the Washington mag- natos gonorally, cannot fall to impross all those who bhave a vonoration for .party outhority. Butler hos also turned ovory branch of disaffection in the party to his own intorost. Tho muss of the liquor, or anti- Prohibition, peopla-are with him, because Gov. Wasbburn {4 sn avowed Prohibitionist. Ifo hau aluo the -go-oporation of many of tho ox- tromo Probi'oitionists, becauso Gov. Washburn Lias, on me.ny oceasions, faltored or palterod in ouforely; tho law. ‘Fho most honest and ofii- clent_‘oppouition which Butlor oncountorod nt bla<last offort to woeuro tho nomiuation has , in consequence corruption and n)iu}.nnlxngumnxlc that would have ruined any private business re- \sulted, to tho lasting Injury of Amorlean in- torests aud tho Amoricsn fair fame, For this ho must bo koeld accountable. The impeachment of the prosent Spanish Gov- ermment by tho Bpanish Jntransigentes, 8s pub- Jlichod In one of tholr organs, is comprehonsive, .%o #ay tho loast, It ombraces as tho mcty of the .

Tho; Liberala will tako no part in tho struggle ono ‘way or othier, and it la said that Mr. Frank Bird Jass joined Butlory forcos. Tho presont omloukylu thut Butler will scoure the nomination. . If Butler Is4/nominated thore is soarcoly o doubt that ho/will be olectod, The Republican majority in “ATassachusetty, whon it ivall brought out, is sbiout 76,000, Thoro has never boon & time wlhon 4tho party tyranny was moro tyrauni- aal, But'for will lososome Ropublican votos, but ho wilbg ain Damocratio votes inan equal num- bor.

Tho situation is unique. Tho Btato of Broadeloth governed by n disorganizer and Communnrd ; the State of American traditionn governed by the brazoncat braggart nnd fho dirtiost politician of tho times; Ily- mouth TRock dancod wupon by a scoffor; tho Btato of boasted culturo govorned by o guor- rills. But Butlor will have beon vindicated. ‘Wo woro told that Grant wns vindicated, along with oll his ncts, whon the pooplo re-olected him, and that all the slandors had been hurled back upon tho vile ealumniators. On tho snmo principle, wo must sccept Butlor's oloction in Masanchusctts, if it come to this, as an oqual vindication, and tho vindication of tho salary- grab to boot. Iiis olection will Lo tho groatost, and perhaps the last, triumph of tho cauocus system. 'Thero will bo no moro worlds for it to conquor. If it should deliboratoly proceed to battor down Fanouil Hall, it could scarce- ly siartlo the people of this country after olcoting Butler Govornor of Massa- chusolts, Tho party may thon fohrish its Crodit Mobiliors, Bocor olaims, Fort Snolling swindles, land-steals, salary-grabs, and multitu- dinous jobs in the face of an amazed world with- out ovor boing called upon for an apology. THE QUESTION OF OalfARISM, Harper's Weekly hns sn articlo which takos the ground that, whilo there is no.reason why Gen. Grant should not bo elected to a third torm, thero may bo many and vory strong reasons why | ho sbould bo. It says that, while “no ono. thought of pressing tho namo of cithor Madi- eon, Monrae, or Jackson for a:third nomina- tion,” the country might possibly find it to its interests to continuously ro-oloct' n Presidont having the “ extraordinary qualifications® pos- sossed by Grant, beeauso it 18 * hardly possiblo to oxaggorate tho importanco to tho country of rotnining tho eorvices of & faithful and oxporiouced Ohiof Magistrate.” % Under the circumstances, the Weekly dcclarostiv can 800 o ovidenco of Cmsarism in' tho eloction of Gon. Grant four, five, or six timos, or for life. #Why not, indead, it the pooplo say s0?”. Bo snid Crmsar when ho was olected Consul and Dietator. 8o said the First Napoleon when he waag olected Consul and Emperor. Bo said Louwis Napoleon when lie was olected Prosidont, and then Presidont for ton yoars, and thon Emporar, Tho important point in Cicsarism is, that the peoplo ratify their own degradation, under the’ guidance of tho Moniteurs and Iarper's Week- lies of the period. The Chicago Journal, with awpirit which it bas not shown sineo it published tho famous §300 article, dounounces the Wesekly for this 4 boot-licking," which phrase moy.-or may not make up in oxprossivencss for whmt it lncks in dignity. The Journal, devotod to the fortunes of tho Ropublican purty as it is, doos not con- sidor Cmsarism a myth. It says: Grosariem 18 o terribla reality,. and not 8 mere bug- bear, as tho Weekly roprosents.. The listary of other Ropublics shows tbat it Is the ospecial poril of aclf- govorned natlons, For us »of to-dsy to ignore tho volco and warning of history: would be a cruel wrong upon thoso whoare to como dfter us. | Harper's Weekly babblea mhallowly when 1t says s #“Wo cannot afford to make3.ny more experimente—to oloct mon to tho Presidency- who may turn out wells but who, for tho sako of personal ronown, may involve un in forelgu wars, or rekudle the dyiug embers of domestio mtrife If ity fustinn really means anything, it means that flo country should moko Gen, Grant Ereellent for Dte, and could mot “ufford™ ‘o do othorwiso, Such boat-licking {4 disgusting.

Ifas it come to tnis, thut the United States 39 depending upon tha Chlef ulagistracy of onoman ? If it woro 0, tho soomer wo give up ropublicaninm end adopt tho mieanrchical form of government tho better, The Jourral "oxprosses tho opinion that tho President will, probably feel disgustod at tho ful- wsomo flatiery of the Weekfy, but upon that point thero ray bo some doubt. Tho cditonof the Weekly,is not likely to say anything that will be disgrusting to tho Prosidont. MISSOURI DEMOCRACY, The 8t. Louis Republican, having had tho courngo and wisdom to take an indepondent po- sition in politics, hay provoked the wrath of a ewarm of snapping-turtle nowspapors in Mis- souri, edited by Democratic politicians who:hold small local offices and loep their bellies filled with county privting. Tho partioular <canso which hag stirzed thom up is an article which.ap- pearod in tho Republican on the 28th ult. dofin- ing 1ts position on the new-party movement. In that articlo it said : **'The Republican nover hag rogrotted its conrae, priorto tho oponing of thoilast political campuign, in advising the Dumocracy to withdraw' absolutoly from the contest, We be- liowod thon, and wo belicve now, that for any good it might do in a national fleld, ilo Democratioparty was and is practically dend; and'again wo say, when patriotism demands it, lot the Democratic party slide,” Tor this utter- snea, which ig neither moro norless than the exact truth, the whelo mongrol pack of curs, whom'no ouo avor hoard of before and aftor ono more election-will never hear of again, are out in full ery, growling, and barking, aud snapping at tho Republican, which paya littlo sttontion to thom, however, nnless ono comes too near, whon it administors a kick which keeps it at n rospoct- ful distanco. Tho Kanas City Z'mes recontly published a broudside of thoso scurrilous ns- snults from Koberly Monilors, Bungtown Demo- crats, Platte City Zandmarks, etomne genus, which roitorate the stalo slush sbout the Democratic banner fiying proudly in the breeze, the untorrificd massos march- ing to the music of Domocracy, tho war cries of * Jofferrionian * - Domocracy, iho truth, consistoncy, and Lonesty of Douiocra- ¢y, and tho bypocrisy and corruptions of Ropub- lieauiem, &o., &e., utterly regardloss of tho fact that'tho Domiocratic banneridon't fluttor prondly iu tho.breozo any moro, and hasn't fluttored for yonrs, and that thoro isn’t orwough loft of it to’ flutter ovon in & hurricano, Thore is no lnw against tho Demooratio hosts murching to the musicof tho Democracy ; but, aftor the Domo- cratic hoats have boen kicked from Dan to Beer- shebs, bave been knooked over, rolled over, stamped upon and ground iuto tho dirt, yoar aftor yoar, until thoy lave become a pub- lic nuisanco, ono would uaturally supposo the operation would bhocome monotouous, aud that thoy would | quit. marching to Domooratio wmusio and © got , another tune. It fw all vory 'woll to’ talk of Ro- pullican corruptions, The pot may call the kottlo black until doomsday, , but it doosn't im- prove tho color of the pob.in the loast. The Ttopublicans havo boen:engngod in tho salary- stonl, but the D‘omnamla wore In it alwoup fo thelr ears, 'Who Bopublickpaydabliled in Crodlb Mobilior j so did tho Democrnoy. The Ropubli- cans have formed corrupt city rings. The Domo- erats sot tho faghion in Tammany, Tho Re- publicans have novor engaged In any form of corruption In which Domocrats wora not con- cornod, it thoy had aohanco. Domoorncy hns at Inst Bunk o low that it is only n poor old go- botwoon to. fotch and cnrry for Ropubliean oor- ruptionists, and tho Ropublican party could not survive a. month without tho assistance of it convenient tool. It would bo n thankloss task to try to argue with the Bungtown Landmarks; snd, if tho Bt. Louis Republican is shrewd, it will not attompt it, but lot them bark on until they got tired of it and decide to rolurn to thelr holos. Bovoral othor prominont papors of this country have hithorto takon tho same position s the Republi- can, declining any longer to bo tho organ of & party or woar any politician's collar, and claim- ing tho privilogo of opposing tho nominoca of botlh partios it thoy are unworthy to hold offico. They havo gono through the samo experlence which the Republican is now undorgoing. They havo had tho samo clasa of small political doma- gogues and prostitutos, and of small polltical nowspapors, dopandont’ for’ their existonco upon politieal patronsge, lowling and sospping ofter thom, and - thore s not ono of them which has not survived tho operation. 'Not only this, they are . bsttor, strongor, nud more influential nowspapors than they wero whon thoy woro in the party traces, and hiad to pull all sorta of heavy loads of cor- ruption at the bidding of sll sorts of political knavos. Tho Republican cpn thoroforo afford to bide its timo, and go on its way calmly and cour- agoously, with the unerring certainty that it will live to 800 tho rotton Domocracy not only prace tically dead but utterly extinot, snd buried in tho same grave with corrupt Ropublicaniem ; ond it may yot have tho opportunity to writo the opitaphs of all the mongrols now enapping ot ita heols. S——— The womnan-suftrage quostion ia about to bo put to a practical test in Wyoming Territory, and wo shall at last have an opportunity to see how tho women will worlk in political harness. The Laramio Sentinel of the Gth inst. enya: ‘Plio 1adies of Laramio aro doveloping some polltical strength, and showing o disposition to have a voico in thio soloction of tholr law-makors fu thogppprosching oloction, Thoir first demonstration to attend & primary meoting of tho # Hash Party.” Tho ladies at~ tondod this primary moeting, and modestly asked for a roprosentative—ono delegato—in this party's County Convontion, 'They weronot only refused thin modest roqueat, but woro insulted, and indigusntly hooted down, This very docided and unchivalrous rebuff, howover, does not scom to hiave disconcorted the women, for, o day or-two aftorwards, about sixty of thom signed and publishod & call to the womon of Albany County to meet in mass con- vontion on tho 18th inst., and nominato candi- dntos for tho Logislaturo, As tho womon ropro- sont only & minority of the logal voters In the county, they propose to nominate only two of tho six mombors for the Logislature,—one for tho Conuetl and one for tho Houso of Represonta~ tives. Thon they proposo to give their sup- port to that party which will rmtify their norhinations and place thoir candidatos on its tickot; in othor words, they will eoll out to tho highest bidder. Tho plan is & yery protty one ; ‘but unfortunntoly not ono of the throo pnrties in disposed to accept tho offors It is anunfortu- nato start in politics for the Wyoming women that they should go into tho market and pub- licly offer their candidates to ony pariy which will buy them. Those nowspapors of Wyoming which have hitherto boen in favor of woman suifrago are not at sl ploased with tho proposed arrangement, and call upon the ambi- tious women not to soll themselves out in thia disreputablo way, but to work sido by side with tho malo votors for tho triumph of principles. As thoy aro willing to run on any ticket, howov- or, and placo, not principle, is their motto, thoy turn up thoir noses at thoir masculine advisers, and are bound to have their own way, tho result of which it is very plain to foresco. The officinl announcemont of tha botrothat of the Grand Ducbess Maria Aloxandrovna, only daughter of the Czar of Russia, to the Duko of Edinburgh, sccond gon of Quoon Victoris, has brought ont another oplsodo in the life of the Grand Duchess, which is now tho chiof subjoct of gossip in 8t. Potorsburg. It appoars that about two yoars ngo the Czar conceived tho {den of marrying bis dsughtor to the Duko of Edin- burgh, and, a8 & preliminary stop, sont for o, young English profossor in the University of 8t, Potorsburg, nemed Bwayne, to tench hor English. The Duchess immediately foll in love with hor teacher, and informed him of it. ¥or sovoral months Lo taught hor. Eng- lish and she taught him love, but ono day tho Czar told her ho should shortly take lLer to Gorman watering-place to make tho acquaint- anco of hor intended. Sho informoed him that would bo unnecessary, a8 sho had already given ‘her hoart and hand to Mr, Bwayno. Thereupon gho’ was sont to hor apartments, and Prof. . Swayne was summoned and jnformed by tho Czar that he had botter loave Russia immo- dintely, which ho @id. The young - Duchess was inconsolable for & long time, and ewore to hor parents sbo would - nover marry tho Duke of Edinburgh, When sho was takon to Germany sho refused io meot hor intonded, snd durnng her rocent sojowrn with hor mother in Italy sho hoaped continual slights upon his head. Xor ropuguanco, how- « ever, was finally overcome, and now, instoad of ‘becoming plain Mra, Swayne, she will soon bo Duchess of Edifburgh, Ilow much comfort the Duke msy dorive from the allianco is nnother consldoration, Tho oplsodo shows that even & Ozar's daughter is apt to bo human, . The churches have not been backward in availing thomaelves of the boneflt of nowspaper “organs, in spito of thelr oceaslonal dentnclation of the practico of tho daily journais in roporting vormous and otherwise aiding tho causo.

To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune : Tt is a vory singular fact, that parties in tho Unitod States, over sinco tho foundntion of our ‘National Governmont, hiave bad names which did not oxpross. ab sll thoir sims and tendoncios. TFederaliats in ovory other country aro thoso who profor o union or fedoration of quasi-soveraign Statos, in contradistinction to Contralists, wheothor tho lattor aro monarchists, aristocrats, or, ropublicans. In our party languago, Low. ovor, it rathor moant Contralists. Tho outi- Tedoralists adopted in carly times tho name of Republicans, which, in o ropublio, is an un- moaning torm. Lntor, the name of Domoorats was substituted. For somo twonty years—{rom 1800 to 1824—wo hardly find any distinctive par- tios, with tho excoption of tho war and antl-war mep in our troubles with England, tormi- nating in 1816, Androw Jackson's opposi- tion to tho ronewal of tho United States Bank chorter and to a proleclive {ariff called & now party into lite, which baptized itsolt, vory incorrectly, the Whig party, and tried in vain to attach tho name of Tory party to the Jackson men ; but the latter, reviving old Joffor- sonian traditions, called themsolves Democrats. WHAT'S IN A NAME? Nov, both appollations wore roally unmeaning. Tho Democrats, finding thelr muin_support in tho Bouth, for rensons which wo will presently show, wero vory far from olaiming a larger sharo of rights for tho massea of tho peoplo, which should bo tho main tendency of a party ealling itself Domocratic. So far from it, tho mout Domocratio Statos in this country were lughiy conservativo in their institutions. Inthe Whig, or in thodoubtful States, tho House of Represont- atives was ususlly much larger, the elections of Governors and other officers wore moro fro- quont, thorr munieipal corporations much loss contralized, than they wore in the so-called Dem- ocratic States. Tho elcotive judiciary is a con- trivanco of Northorn Whig origin. Tho institu- tion of slavery compelied, to a cortain extiont, & tyrannical govornment, ond tho groat princi- plos of human right and equality, as proclaimed inthe Doclaration of Indopendence, could’ not Lo practically carriod out in a section of country one-half of whoso poople lived in absolute bond- ngo, That human oquality was o eclf-avident lie and not & self-ovident truth, wos tho exprossion ot o Domocratic loador, and another leader of that party in tho North ealled the Declaration of Independence s buudlo of glittering gonerali- tios. ! TWO BEOTIONAT PARTIES. Tho truth is, if it must bo told, thet almost from tho boginning of our Governmont our partios were sectional, but we did not want to proclaim them such, Wo knew tho dangor of such porties, and woro afraid to admit their oxistonce. Thero is no doubs that, at least sinco the famous Missouri Compromise, tlio propor appellation of partics would have been Pro- Blavory aud Anti-Slavery, Yot theso terms woro carofully avoided. With tho exception of the Abolitionists, which party disdained circumlocn- tion, the Northern party callod itsolf Freo Soil ; Iater in tho doy Auti-Nobrasks, and at last, hav- iug ombodied in itsolf the mora rational Abolitionists, that is to say, thoso who were op- posod to s dissolution of tho Union, adopted sgaln the uttorly meaningless name of Reopubli- cans, The Southern, or Pro-Slavery party, stuck to tho namo of Domocrats. ‘But it may bo asked, Iow did it happon that thore wae so large o portion of tho NONTHERN MEN in the Domocratic party, whilo, excopting & cer- tain mercantile interest in tho largoer citics in tho North, which traded largely with tho South, thoy woro certainly not in favor of slavery? The answor {8, that in tho first placo a groat many Northorn men snw dangor to the Union if tho anti-slavory feoling becamo provalont in tho nation, and that thoy thought it bttor to put up with tho institution than have the Union dissolved ; and in tho second place, tho politi- cians, auxious to sceuro power and satisfy thoir smbition in tho National Government, looked to o party which could always count upon & largo numbor of Btates, partioularly oftor Missourl, Arkansss, and Toxas had boon admitted, ns absolutoly certain in their favor in all national oloctions, All that was nocossary for succesf in political contosts was to seoura o fow of tho Northorn States. HOUTHENN INTERESTS. When wo look ot the distinotivo foaturos of the Domocratie creed, wo-find thom altogother ombodying Bouthern sentiments, "or, to apoak porbiaps moro proporly, 88 being prodicated upon Houthorn intorosts, Tho Southorn Btatos, owing to the institutlon of slavery, wore not adapted to maunufsoturing, but were by nature doatined to produco cortain staplo artiolos, to which slave- 1abor could be most profitably dovoted, Honco wo find them from interest (not from any cor- roct view of national economy) in favor of Froo Trado. Wo say from intorest, bocause Louisi- ans, for tho sake of protection for hor sugar futorests, often voted tho Whig ticket, and was considored gouerally as n doubtful Stato, Ton. nessoo, to proteot bor iron intorests, showed the gamo waveriug dispoeition, Mr, Calhoun was o Protectionist bofore cotton becamo King, BTATE RIOWTS, Bo tlio poople in tho slave Btates woro strict coustructionists, carrylug thelr Stato-Rights dootrines finally to socossion. In thoir Btato govoroignty thoy sought protcction ngalnat na- tional oncroachiments, which thoy foarod abovo all things s affecting thoir domestio institu- tione. Indonying to the Genoral Government all powers which wero not exprossly granted, although necessarily implied, and coustruing tho expross powory {n tho most narrow splxit, thoy A thonght to construct a bulwark against any in- torforonco with slavory. In liko moannor, tho Southorn Statos wero do- giroua of enlarging tho aren of slavery by annex- ation hionco Lho annexation policy carried out in tho soizuro of Toxay, tho Moxican war and its conaequont noquisitions, the bold nttempta on Cubn and other outlylng Honthern torritories, enlminating in the Ostond manifesio of Buchan- an, Magon, and Soulo. OENTRAL IDEAS OF TIIE PARTY. Disearding othior planka in the usunl Demo- crntio platform, which woro oitlior of n meroly tomporary naturo, or woro thrown in to eatch votes (ns i tho cago moro or loss with all plat- forms), tho contral idoas of tho Democracy be- foro tho Robolllon wero protetion of the in- stitutlon of slavery, londing nnturally to tho dootrinoa ihat negroos wore not ontitled to eny rights whatever, which latter prin- ciplo attachod the most ignorant olassen in tho North to that pnrty, from jonlousy; oxtonslon of thé aranof slavery ; Statosovoreign- ty in preforenco to Natlonal soveroignty, and moro or loss docided opposikion to & protective tariff, Whon we hear to-day of the “old and glotlona principlos of tho Domocracy,” those contral and londing doctrines prevaillug boforo the War aro moant and nothing clse. 'To rally round them fs still the cry of thoso who are called tho old Domocratio war-horsos. WIEN' £IIEY TUMDLED IN RUINS, A momont'a roflection ought to convinco every ono that, with tho downfall of slavery the prin- clpal planks of that party fell also, The Btato- Righta doctrino, ns understood in the South boforo tho War, rosted finally on tho right of socossion. Otherwiso 1t was n mero barron theory. In o modified sonse, it hos survived tho' Robellon, That ¢ho National Governmont is n govornment of the pooplo, tho whole people, and binding on the poople, and on individuals, is now foraver g~ toblished, whilo on the éther hand tho doctrino that, whatovor powaor is not exprosaly orimplied- ly granted to the Gonoral Govornmont ro- mainy in the Btato {8 not and nover wns confined 0 the Democratic party ns such, I undertake to say that thoro aro to-day quito a8 many mon who, during tho War and for years aftorward, ncted with the Ropublicans in favor of such State righta a8 thore aro Domocrats, Froo Trado was madé boldly and didtinetly n Domocratic doctrine, nnd thore are to-day per- haps a8 many Ropublicaus and former Ropubli- cang opposed to the Protective policy as there aro Damocrats opposed to.it. TIHE OINOINNATI PLATFORA. As stated before, with the abolition of elavery nnd the grantiz:g of cqual rights to tho negro raco, which aro accomplished facts, and which could not bo undone, if oven & mejority of tho pooplo wero to try to undo them, Democracy a8 o distinctivo party oxpired. Butit did oxpira formally (wo might say undor its own hand and #enl) last summor at Baltimore, not by the nomi~ nation of Greoloy, bocauso parties have somo- | times supported men from ronsons of policy whom thoy opposed on prineiplo, and have not disnolvod thomaolves thoroby, but by adopting tho Cincinnnti platform. Tho Baltimore Con- vention was largely attonded ; it comprised tho most intolligent and trustod londors of tho party. The dissatisfaction in the ranks aftorwards was ot becauso it had adopted tho platform, but be- couse it nominated Groeloy. NOTHING LEFT BUT OLD WHEEL-HONSES, Aftor hoving sgroed to that platform, which did honor to the heart and the intellect of tho perty, it Is too Iato to sponk of the “anciont and glorious principles of the Democracy.” Tho party, ag such, hus abdicated. A great donl of tho rabble bas loft it, anyway, and gona over to Gront. It having no prospect of succoss, and, consoquently, no power and patronags to offor, it caunot attract tho young, ambitious politi- clans. It lins norecruiting stationsanywhoro. As long os it fights under its old tattorod and soiled flog, and will rocognizo aa its londors tho worn- out, epnvined, founderod wheel-horsos of tho party, dissatisfied Ropublicans wou't join it. Tho unthinking mass of the Domocracy may, undor that name and its old organization, voge- tato for yonrs on, but it cannot livo, thrive, and succoed, Buccess, or ot loast hope, is the only thing which can keep s party togathor, for suy length of time, as a living and offective body.
