This course is not the result of magnanimity, a sonse of justfce, or conslderation of statcsman- ship on the part of the Democracy, It is com- pelled rather by the neeessities of their position, When o flcal vote shall come, the Democrats undoubtedly will have strongsh enough to pass the bill by a small majority; but, until that time, tho Democratic forco 1s neither numerous coough mnor ot such character as would warrant an attompt to enforce tho gag Inw. Since the caucus determination of the Re- publicans to sccuro the right to debate the mensure to the extent of their desires, the Dem- ocratic managers have been very courteous, and have evidently not desired to fuvite a filibustor- ing contest.

That the debats Is to be vory cxtended is apparent. Forty wnames aro .alrendy entered upon the list, and ft is known that many prominent Demoerats whoso namos have not yet been entered futend to speak. It may bo two weeks boforo this flrst bill can reach the Benate, and a month befora it goes to the Presl- dent. The Demacrats scem apprehensive of the offects of debute upon the Northern vote. One.of their leaders snld to-tay that, while in his opinion Garflel’s specch did not touch the case [n polnt of argument, it was AN ATPEAL TO TIE PXOPLD which the Democrats would find it impossible to answer, Tho contrast between tho clos ing chapter , of sceeding Democracy in 1861 and the opening chapter~ of re- storcd Confedermte Democrecy 1o 1870, and the fact that the Demovracy justificd the uso of the army to run down fugitive elaves In the North beforo the War, but. find 1t unconsti- tutional now to preserve peacs at the polls with the army, to protect tho llberated nezro in his rights us o freeman, are features of s speech which the Democrats admit it will be .

A promiuent Bouthern Domocratic Sonator admitted to-night that his party was VERY GREATLY TIOUBLED ot the attitude in which it {s placed by the present situation and by Garfield’s apeech. He -sald; *'The Northern Democrats have put us in this hole, Wo did not seek it.

Bomo of the leading vpoints of this remark- nble socech may be here summarized: Gen, Gar- fleld began with a conaclousness of the decp solemuity of the crlsis into which the Democ- racy has forced the country. His words showed the dopth of his convictions, Wa have,” ha sald, ** to-day resolved to cuter upon a revolution against the Constitution of the United States, Froe consent is.our theory of lIaw.

P'endloton. Against thls bill {n the Thirty-cighth Congress not a singlo Democratic yoto was cast.
