To the Baltor of The Chicago Tribune, Bar Laks City, Utah, July 25.—Tho Dem- ocratic party can always be depended on to take the wrong side of every question, Whether this fs the reaultof innate stupidity orcultivated Wickedness, is n debatableques- tion. This thing we do know: that for the past half-century they lave been mustering together In the Northeall tho {gnornuce that lands on these shores from tho Old World; and in tha South, not having the Old World to draw on, they have raised and cultivated thelr own ignorance,—and a very healthy crop they have of tt. Assuming a kind of a Jaughable chivalry, and talking loudly of tholr honor and other Incumbrances of that kind, the Democracy marched out to the plains of Kansas, and, in the broad daylight of the Nineteenth Cent+ ury, attempted to plant there the binck flag of Iluman Slavery, To thelr unutterable surprise, thay got into a serions diMeulty, and never found out thelr mistake till they reached Appomattox. Then the Deimocracy had to be reconstructed for awille, The bilsters under their coat-talls lave hardly ceasod sinarting when they put up another devillsh job. This time they have come out to Utah, probably oxpecting to yet so far awny that their deviltry won’t be discovered until it is too Inte to be prevented.
