THE FATAL FAILURE OF POLITICAL FUSION.
There never was such opportunity to make common
cause against the democratic party that which pre-
scented TO error and fanatcism little than year
ago One of those exgences had occurred which often
call the democratic organization into the forefront Of dan
ger and which sometimes temporarily overthrow it The
performance of duty in the support of principle, no
how much power and popularity to be sacri
feed in the act is of the obligations of that organza
ton which give the strength and the endurance of
great political institution and at the same time arouse
against II many of the worst elements of politics.
The Nebraska question involved such principle and
the maintenance of that principle also involved certain i'm
mediate sacrifices and temporary disadvantages The de-
mocracy took the straightforward course and their
mics gloried in the opportunity presented TO them They
remembered how their hopes had popered when the depos
ties removedwhen the United States Bank charter
was veoedwhen the tariff 1sl2 was defeated and repu
datedand when the independent treasury restored
but they forgot that their prosperity only transient
and that time and its trials only served to strengthen the
foundation and the superstrucure of the democracy
True to the past however, they took the field while
the democracy applying great principle in the
settlement Of grave issue which threatened to divide
the Union and they contived to various political
advantages before the people had time fully TO weigh the
Misrepresentation of the Nebraska bill In the North the
democracy beaten in nearly every election and uson
regned exultan and almost supreme But these results
not achieved by faction alone; many factions
temporarily combined into and succeeded The abo

Joined by numbers of disappointed and desperate
Happily, however the time for the presidential election
far off for fasehood and folly to hold together;
and it was not too far off for truth to yndicate ITSELF and
for the democracy to rcpe the accusations of its enemies
There has therefore, been time enough for the bad TO be
exposed and for the good to be acquitted time enough
for abo.ionism to be denounced time enough for know
nothngism to be exploded; time enough for the wings
who nearly all lost in the lodges realize their
mistake time enough for the democrats who have been
deuded to come out from these dens of shame; time
enough, in uord for Tie national democrats 10 meet the IT,

To show how deeply the failure of the fusion in the
South has Inundated the wings take the following from
the Montgomery Journal of Wednesday last The Journal
is the wing State paper of Alabama:

The confessions have been made in Virginia and
other States by the very wing papers that VIC
lent and vindicvsn their opposition to the democracy
because the latter have resolutey refused to make
with foul and infamous conspiracy l.
Take NEXT the following evidences of reaction in the
northern States:

Concerted and harmonious action between the Ameri-
and wings throughout the State hardly possible
however desirable and for this the Americans are in fault
Had they abandoned their conclsve and
day determined making open nominations and permit
ting every to participate in making them who desired
ment made to reorganize the whg party, and
quence the Americans, with the aid and support Of whga
would have trumphed in the State. Going on however,
their exclusive policy expecting the wings to support their
candidates. and yet refusing them any participation in select
ing them has produced deep feeling of hostility their
secret organization among those who though
longing to it hitherto acted with them and supported their
nominees. wing State convention has accordingly been
