1t is enough to know that the warfare chroni-
cled in recent Impressions of this journal wakes
more violent daily, and bids fair to restore New
York Democracy to the condition from which
the nomination of General PIERCE temporarily
extracted it. Clique and faction will resume

Look at Louisiana. The Hon. A. G. PENN,
one Of its representatives in Congress, and par
ticipator witllMr. FoRNEY in the labors, manou-
vres, and tfidmphs Of the late Democratic Ma
tional Committee, has incurred the enmity, and
now experiences the active opposition, of the
warm blooded section fhis own party. The New
