THE Constitutional PARTY.-The old
organization of party, says the Globe, being
pretty we'll broken into by the late elec-
tons, re-organizations under new titles are
now being formed. The American party is
made of Wings, Democrats, and Natives
AS antagonistic to this party, the "Constitu
tional" party is being formed in the city and
county of Philadelphia, with clubs in each
ward as auxiliary to it. The party is general
ly composed of members OF the Democratic
party, and before they undertook the move
ment they asked the opinion of the Hon.
GEORGE NJ. DALLAS upon it. This gentle
man has addressed reply to the committee,
in the course of which he says:
"Now, | take it that your projected Clubs,
resting on the broad and beneficient platform
of Democracy, are meant to have single
eve to the preservation of the Union-are
meant to foster every measure having that
tendency--are meant to detect, expose, and
resist whatever threatens to weaken or dis
solve it-are meant in word, to organize
a power of simultaneous action, through
correspondence, the press, and the ballot
box, which will raise rampant. at any and
every crisis, against any and every tiood,
however formidable, OF sectional and fanati-
cal disunion. 1t is in this belief that not
only approve the propriety and expediency
of your plan, but bidyou cordially God speed
with it.
81 will not, though strongly tempted, ad-
vert to the best practical courses for uphold
ing the Union. They will necessarily en-.
gage the deliberations of the tClubs,' when
formed. But there is one comprehensive
| Injunction which you will pardon me fol
thinking Important enough, however trite, to
be repeated here-look steudtty to The Con.
stitatioA; and that ats pr0visi0as be strictly
executed. That instrument involves the be,
ing Of the Union. The Constitution violat
ed, the Union fingers only upon spfferance
the Constitution enforced, the Uuion flour
ishes with perennial vigor.

A bronze statue of the Hon. Thomas Cor

soon as five thousand dollars is subscribed
by the people of Ohio. Commissioners to
raise the money, it is said, have already been
appointed. 1t is also, rumored that the
friends of the late DR.. George A. Gardiner
contemplate perpetuating his memory by
erecting statue of brass in commemora-
ton Of his exploits. When this comes to
the ears of the admirers of ex-Secretary
Crawford and the late Mr.. Galphin, we
have no doubt they will be equally anbi-
tious to hand their favorites down to poster

nent niche in the Capitol, for their history

circular to the effect that he will not sell
stock and redeem notes of Banks that may
be forced into liquidation until he shall have
given sixty days notice in New York, Lon

think it would be to the interest of the own
ers to postpone the sale further. He will
furnish the stock at par, however, in return
for notes, when the latter are presented in
sums of $1,000.

A large Democratic Army.

In the recent elections in the three great
States of Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania,
the Democratic party, although defeated by
combination of all the isms, factions and
parties in the country, polled vote of which
it may well be proud. In round numbers
the case stands thus: #f
Pennsylvania 100000 Democrats
Ohio .. ., 10000 ,.
Indiana 10000 .u.
Total $4,000
This shows that the great bulk of the
Democratic party is yet true to its time
honored principles, although few thousand
members have. wandered off cater strange
gods" No other party singly can begin to
pull the great vote above recorded in those
three States. We have been beaten by a
combination that cannot possibly hold to-
gether more than few months, and the
early establishment of the Democratic as.
