Which IS THE New YORK DEMOCRATIC PATTY.
In answer to this question the Richmond
Enquire, bfavely ventures to say that we shall
learn sooner than we expect, and to our
cost, (Which is the democratic party in New
York" But we should like to know now. Is
it the hards or the softs? The softs go for the
administration and for free soil. The hards
are against both the administration and its free
soil faction. Which of these--the hards or the
softs-is the New York democratic party? The
Virginia democracy have the right to pro-
nounce. They are orthodox. They have never
Hnched; and the Enquirer speaks for the Vir-
ginia democracy. A judgment, then judg-
ment--let us have a judgment. Is it the softs
Including their free soil principles, because
they support the administration, or is it the
hards, because of their sound national princi-
Piles, notwithstanding they reject the admins
tration, bag and baggage? In other words,
what is the Simon Pure platform of the demo-
cratic party-principles or the spoils?-the
hards or the softs? Do Mr.. Enquirer, tell us
categorically, and in a monosyllable, which is
the New York democratic party among the or
thodox Virginia democracy-th hards or the
softs? Mr.. Wise says it is the softs; but he is a
new hand at the bellows, and goes off half
cooked. We want the Judgment Of the Rich
mond organ. Hards or softs? Do tell. 1t
can't be both.

good many thousand dollars to buy up all the
jurymen who may be empannelled in the case
perhaps more than to pay the damages. AT
all events, the injured parties may take the
risk of this They may rely that New York
or Philadelphia jury will understand the
duties of railway company, and if case Of
neglect can be clearly made out-there appears
very little doubt but it can-they will give
handsome damages. One million ought not
to pay the whole bill, and the company, it
must be remembered, could lose million
without feeling it.

FURNISHING TEAMs.--The Ontario Times, the
home organ of Governor Clark, has it that our
wing Ex-Governor Hunt not only voted for Ull-
man against Clark last fall, but worse still, che
furnished teams and help during the entire day
of the election to hunt up and drag in the
simple ones who might by any means be in
duced to vote as he did, and defeat the wing
candidate for Governor" Hope he will do the
same thing against the abolition Maine law
fusionsts this year. Sensible wing, this Gov

A SIDE BLOW AT THE SYRACUSE SofT SHELL
CoSvENTIoN.-In general article upon demo
cracy, the Cabinet organ at Washington says:
Declarations in State conventions, or else
where, evasive in their character, and designed
to soothe the sensiblity of men who, although
in the democratic organization, are free soil
ers at heart, are neither suited to the times
nor worthy Of a fearless, powerful and honest
party" This is evidently a side hit at the
late soft shell State Convention. viii the

The coup d'em of the hards Of this city, Of
dispensing with their usual primary elections,
is matter of serious perplexity to the soft
shells who, perhaps, counted upon the re-
serves of ''short boys" attached to the Custom
House clique, to carry the hard nominations.
But why should the softs object? Do they
not desire the harmony Of the democracy
And how can We expect harmony if we permit
our democratic nominations to be controlled
by bad whiskey, pugilists and bludgeons? We
can't expect it. The hards, therefore, of this
city, in dispensing with their primary elections,
have taken the first step for the reunion of the
party upon sober and respectable basis OF
operations. Let the short boys retire.

THE PRINCE TAKING THE STUMP.-We are in
formed by the Albany atlas that Prince John
Van Buren, has accepted the invitation OF the
st. Lawrence democracy to address them on
the questions pending in this political cam
paign-the time, &C., to be designated by the
general committee Of the county" Lieutenant
Governor Church is also ready to respond
s'and will give the cause (the soft cause) the
benefit of his cloquence and counsel" Now,
we have no fears OF the Prince upon the liquor
question, for in every thread and fibre Of his
frame he is constitutionally opposed to the ex-
listing law; but we have our fears upon the mig
ger question. We are apprehensive that the
Prince, among the anti-savery Buffalo demo-
cracy Of st. Lawrence and other Northern
counties, will forget the limitations, reserva-
tons and saving clauses of the soft she'll SYRIA
cuse resolutions (such as they are) and will
launch out boldly upon the Buffalo platform as
the true ground of the soft democracy. Under
this suspicion we admonish the Prince to look
sharp, or some accidental reporter logging
his steps through the rural DISTRICTS" may
show him up to the establishment of the Vir
ginia democracy when least expected. Have
