The Southern Democracy.

The current Of Southern Democratic feeling
runs in strong opposition to the notion of Gre
organization" which certain of our contempt
raries have described as in actual progress.
When the Union first propounded its hopeful
news upon the subject, we proved, by quota
tons from Democratic journals issued in the
Southern States, that they were at direct issue
with the metropolitan organ; and during the
last few days evidence has accumulated on our
hands which can leave no doubt of the failure
of the whole scheme.
We have not space for extracts, and must
therefore content ourselves with naming the
Columbus Miss Standard, the Marshall
Miss Jefersonian, the Montgomery Gala }
State Register, the Dallas Gazette, the Cam
den Republic, and the Haynevlle CIroni-
Gle, as amongst the batch OF macontents.
They counsel the maintenance of the South
ern Rights party as distinct from the Dem
-ocratic party, and denounce the plan Of re-
organization as trick resorted to by broken
down politicians, with no prospect of being re-
sponded to by any large proportion of the peo-
pie. Another marked feature in their articles
is the manner in which the old Democratic or
ganization is spoken Of as all but powerless in
the SOuth-its more extreme adherents having
gone into the Southern Rights ranks; while the
sober thinking, patriotic class-caring less fo1
faction than their country-have joined the
Wings in forming the Union party.

A Travellers sketch OF Trip 10 wash
ington.


Every day brings some new protest against
the monstrous impositions and mismanagement
which distinguish the railroad travel between
New York and Washington. The travelling
public have very strong feelings upon the sub
ject, and no wonder, considering the years of
annoyance which they have been compelled to
endure, and the contemptuous disregard with
which their well-founded complaints have hith-
erto been treated. The time has come, how
ever, when their sufferings find an audible
vent, and they are now improving the oppor-
tunity in excellent style. If the monopolists
of Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey,
have spark of sensibility left, they may be
supposed to feel somewhat uncomfortable I'M
der their ever increasing load of odium and
notoriety.
Amongst the latest complainants is writer
in the Now Bedford Mercury, who sets forth
the Inconvenience attending visit to the seat
of Government in strain pathetic enough to
awaken sympathy in the breasts of all whose
hapless fate has required them to encounter
similar horrors. The writer's statements are
not absolutely new; they are in the main reit-
Grafton of facts that have already appeared more
than once in these columns; but they are never
theless noticeable, partly as an indication of the
universslity Of the dissatisfaction that exists,
and in part also in view of the effects which the
present temper of the public mind may be ex-
pected TO produce.
