We copy the following article more par
ticutarly because it gymnastics from the pei
Of Gen Mosgan, of The Burlington Telegraph
who did battle 60 many years in the from
ranks Of "Democrscy." We are pleases
!, to obserye the more sensible and shonss
members Of that party getting their eye'
open to its corruptions:- 'sfh
The Great Republican Party.
The evident tendency of the times is to-
wards the formation Of 4 new political par.
" of the People under the above title. In.
deed il NAV be said that the party is already
formed, tho name adopted. and its 6rst vic
tories achieved. Il t. purely American in
its instincts, and has Reform for it, motto
Il takes leave Of the past, and looks to the
present and the future. II remembers nc
distinction, no drejudices, a. resulting from
old organizations, but buries the memory OF
names in its cordial and'fraternal embrace
of things. "The old issues are all dead
the old lines have been obliteratsd-the old
walls Of prejudice have crumbled and fallen
before the irresistible sentiment of patriot.
ic brotherhood the people, as by com.
mon impulse, are everywhere coming to-
pether as the re united family Of con m IN
household
These results have been produced, and
this new party Of the people formed, by q
waking up OF the masses to u realizing
sense OF the dishonest ana desperate games
Of the politicians Of the country. BY ap-
peals to popular prejudiccs. and by shouting
aloud the names Of parties which once had
principles, the politicians have for years
managed TO revel in high places and feed
10 giuttonons upon the "spols." But the
masses have at last become disgusted with
the base uses to which their confidence and
credulty have been perverted-the scales
have fallen from their eyes at moment
when the whole field of political corruption
lies open to their view--and they but yield
to the promptings Of patriotism and give
utterance to 4 just sense ofindignation when
they throw Off their blind and unrequit-
ed allegiance to men, and army themselves
against the abuses OF the times.
This new party Of the people is destined
to 60 on "conquering and to conquer" until
the whole brood Of pretenders and blood
suckers, who are now misrspresenting the
popular sentiment and battoning upon the
ills Of office, shall be scourged from pub
lie position, and their places supplied by
better and more honest me, fresh from the
ranks Of the people. With this new party
all other parties are numbered among the
things "that were"-they have no remem
brunce for old grudgcs, old prejudices. or old
names they only enquire, lis he honest. re.
publican, and SOUND on all the live ques-
tons Of the dayn'
In a word the people feel that they have
been used long enough in the paltry service
Of building up the country and yindicating
their own character as freemen who are
capable Of thinking and acting for them
selves. A party with such a basis, and hav-
ing such ends in view, cannot fail to become
as it should become, the party OF the coun.
try. II has at least made 4 fair start in
Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvon New
Hampshire Connecticut, Vermont, Rhode
Island and Maine, and it is very eviden,
that Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and New
York will keep the bali rolling.
