"A new National Democratic Review" has
inst appeared here and it's strongest pSl:tica
discusses 1.-THE Presidency in 1856" I extract
from il the following forcibie tribute to the sound
ness and importance of cardinal Wing principle
OF the time Of Henry Clay-as follows:
Claiming as we have intmated, large share of
the attention Of the National Demoxsic Convention
ofls36 will be the establishment Of rule in regard to
The reelection Of President Of the United States,
take for granted that the SINGLE term PRINCIPE Is the
ordinary doctrine of the Democratic party, but it Is
surely necessary that declare to the world its formal
ADOPTION as portion Of the Democratic creed. We
can readily anticipate the objections which VIII be en-
tered TO q recognition Of this radical but conservative
maxim; already are reminded OF the TACT that JET
feron and Jackson served each eight years a. Chief
MAGISTRATE of the nation; already are reminded of
the proper tribute Of respect which must be pad To
those who have been tried" and found equal to the
emergencies of the hour the agumc nts, however are
rather strained; we are hardly dealing with q Jefer-
son or JacksoD and it will be difficult task to find
an apology for resunectIg their sacred shades as po
hcs capital in 1856; we feel quite sure that, though
Eiobe might weep herself 10 stone when seeing her
offspring falling under the darts of the angry gods the
genius OF history will not shed tear over the s1crtege
s,ou brec,ng in the Democratic heart Of Amerbcc.'
Let me give one more extract, to illustrate the
spirit of this able and plain-spoken essay. Con-

under which it appears, it is II testimony to the
correctness and worth of principle against which
party Democracy has frequently struggled:
"But what are the facts in the case under the recog
milton of the right Of reeligibltyl The President is
hardly installed in Office, before he commences to
move the cards OF politics for reflections; there have
been exceptions in the history of the country but they
are rare. Who does not know that at this time
gigantic effort is foot to in the next National
Convention Presidential succession! Every interest
must be made subservient to this great result, and
every Press in the United States that dares to question
the propriety of such O move is to be expelled by
regular edct from the Democratic party; the great
question for us to consider is whether the body of the
that nomination shall be made through the influence
of Government patronage. All the wires OF admin
istratve power actually operating III favor OF
succession; thousands Of officials expected to
devote considerable share of their attention to the
matter in various portions of the country meetings
have already been called, designed to prepare the
Democratic mind for second edition of the volume
Of 1852.
owe may be charged with travelling out of the re-
cord; we appeal to the unrameled Press OF America,
however and ask if these sayings be not true. five
For Ourselves we not for consequences and shall
allow no slavsh fear of becoming subject to charge
Of improper motives, to prevent statement OF the
truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
These views are not merely right in themselves
Il predict their triumph even at Cincinnati. The
