NAMED to be done bat for Live Oak George Law

he Was to be safely carried into the Presidential
chair. The first 0raoca Of she notion has become .
sort of caut idea with the "rerrihe Know Norhng s
and they no. the cuckoo note from one end OF the
country TO the other Tosy proclaim a. ths rsas.a
| fact that the democratic party u dissolved. Chs
| HERALD clipgs TO the deusion, and as Q m1ther
ios dies with greatest AT ction her eslfoosed or
humpba kec child. 30 too the HERALD seems to be
moot d. voted to this abortive thought, and to Do
most sensitive about its contradiction. The HERALD
had best pursue Its usual cool and selrOossessod
| mode Of dealing with knOtty questions. 6nee . sad
epthets amount to little even 10 the bands OF thoss
| who possess mastery over the weapons. In tnoss
| of the HERALD rhey scarcely reach decent stu
| pidiry.
In this labor Of love to which this New York
not evDced tsusual ssgecty aud sp. appreciation OF
pubic sentiment. With ali its influence over sbe
| great mob monster Of New YORK, It csu't mase

force OF folly can no further &c."
The HERALD has not attempted to show the in
conculiveness Of the views took IN the arti he 1t

| "Who are the democracy? What are they? Where

| OF bsiig both rich aud cool, decidedly. We will
tell our great metropolitan luminary all about It.

this is satisfactory answer as to who are the

As to the Whereabouts Of the demo Macy we will
