mong them the radical Democracy Of the
Empire Slate -ihe compairiots Of Leggeu,'
and The advocates Of the principles for which
he struggled, and which are now part Of
ihe acknowledged If not ip all ,especisths1
practical creed Of the Democracy Of The Un-l
ion. But their presen, position we cannot
and we do not sympaihize with. Granting
the principles for which they contend TO be-
good, and Dc are not disposed TO as;ak other
,Oise ---ihe means and the man taken 10 pro-
mole them, are both adverse to their success
AS friend in New York writes in relation
to the Van Boren managers: III like the
Bafnburner platform, but when 1 look at the
leaders, Il is as Il we were at war, and Dor
rowed q skilful general, heart and soul deyo-
led 10 the enemy" And can Martin Van Bu-
rem really be viewed, BY any body Of men,
as the championoffiee soil. Look at bis
vote when Vice President to authorize sys
tom Of Post-office espionage upon anti-slaye-
fy documents, south Of Mason g. Dixon's
lne--look at his denial Of the right TO abol
ish slavery in the District Of Columbia, ia
his inaugural address. Was he not known
as " The northern man with sonthern princi-
ples' during the whole of, his Adminisra-
,ioni Andif the principles he now pleads
for are sincerely held they must be the result
Of his M edita,ions in retirement, as hereto
fore he has escaped even the suspicion Of
holding such sentiments. b@ gsla
What must be the result Of Mr.. Van Bur-
ems present position, il indeed il produces
any effect upon the present contestg Wilt
not be 10 elevate Gen.. Taylor TO power2--
and if Gen. Taylor has any principles at all,
he must be taken as The opponent, heart and
soul, Of free soil, And we think The ey;-
dence pretty conclusive that the General has
SO declared himself Now we do no. view
his election as consummst on devoutly to be
wished, and therefore we cannot respect Mr..
Van Buren's position, looking as il mus, do,
to accomplish Wing ascendancy.
Such is our conviction, and that the design
of this detection from Democracy must fail
Of accomplishment And further, there is
universal conviction in mems minds that rev.
enge for personal wrongs more than consid-
eraiions Of public good is the ruling princi-.|
pie with the great Statesman Of New York
in the present contest. With such motives,
his elevation TO power, il practicable, might |
be followed by an administration more deyo-l
ted TO prescription, than the promotion ofthe !
principle by which he rose, or 10 securing
ihe great interests Of the county. Under
this state Of things he can have no, claims
upon those desiring the success Of Democ-

This much may be truly said Of the great
Barnbufner champion, without detracting
from his well-eained fame for services TO de-
mocracy in times past, for though we do NOT
admire his presen. position, we would not be
grateful only for public services yet to come.
z THf CHANGES OF PARTr,-C Charles Brough, Esq.
in entering again upon the editorial charge ofthe
Cipeinnati Enquirer draws the following sketch
Of the changes in the position Of parties in 10
period of little more than year;

run parallel between the position Of parties in
respect to the nation as whole, when | ceased

and the present day. have no time now Tor ex-
tended remark. Briefy--rHEE the democratic
party were struggling to maintain the national
honor, by maintaining the war.--its Justice, its
