THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

The great and paramount influence which
the Democratic party has exercised and will
continue to exert over the destinies OF this ma
ton, renders it matter Of the first importance
that its efficiency be retained unimpaired. All
minor matters, all personal claims and griev
ances must be submerged in the general well
fare of this great conservative, yet progressive
parry"
1t, is the great prerogatiye Of a dominant
party, based on principle, to hold its members
TO strict accountability, so that he who is high
est shall feel that he is not exempt, and shall
know that dereliction Of duty, wandering from
the acknowledged pathways Of Democracy,
and, above all a subseryiency to expediency
and resort TO equivocal positions, will surely
bring down upon him rebuke. Weakness in
faith and liberation Of heresies by any Of its
standard bearers are inadmissible, and will
surely be marked by the choicest spirits OF the
party.
Thus, it happened, at the beginning Of the
last Congress, that the course of the Admins.
tration and its appointments and its interfer-
ence in State politics, by which a Buffalo plat.
form party was foisted into high places in
the Democratic party, without sufficient
test Of a return to orthodoxy, gave umbrage to
many sound Democrats, who, fearing the con-
sequences OF this course, we're unwilling to en-.
dorse in it the Executive action and, in order
to show that the Democratic party, as unit,
~ he Al.
took occasion to defeat the organ OF these ap.
pointments and Of that course OF policy, and
to elect as printer to the Senate the Editor Of
paper known to be sound in these matter,
and on all State-rigbt principles
The result showed the wisdom Of this course
For, at the very FIRST test, these mushroom re
pentants TO Democracy filed of, and bargained
with the Executive for the right Of treason,
and still to remain in the Democratic ranks,
by electing, as Printer to the House, the
Editor Of the Executive. The Executive
clemency towards these bands Of spo-dealers
was thrown away, they have continued false
ever since, and, by consequence, lost for the
Democracy every Northern State. The Exec.
utive being thus left without single State a,
the North, found it necessary TO turn to the
neglected South, which bad presented an al
most unbroken front, and, throwing away tb,
ambiguous standards which allnred Nebraska
and Anti.Nebraska men, Unfortunately to
range under them, to unfur banner which
allured beneath its folds only genuine Democ
racy National Democracy, Constitutional De
mocracy, and, swearing fealty to il, called a
new rally, repudiating The bereses Of the
Washington sentinel. [volume] (City of Washington [D.C.]) 1853-1856, 1856-02-16

barnburners, and abandoning its own error.
With this change Of front, these Democrats
who had steadily discountenanced all these
heresies, manifested disposition 10 give. 10 the
Executive every opportunity of restoring the
unity of the party by close adherence, here
after, tothe principles laid down in the inaugural
and in the last annual message. This course,
on the part of the Executive, in returning to
the true faith. removed the cause which led to
discredit of the Executive by the discarding
of its organ in the last Congress. And as the
Executive conceived that the election of its
organ now, would give the sanction of the
party TO his new pledges Of fealty, it was
deemed only proper to indulge him. The Ad-
ministration will receive cordial support so
long as it adheres to its new pledges, none
being more willing to give it than those who
hitherto felt themselves compelled to differ
from the Executive, This support is indie,
pendent Of the question of election 10 the
next Presidency, and in no wise commits any
one on thar subject. While the Admnistra-
'ioh 10 W soiuihi Suppcit. "'iiC ~
is true to the Democracy, il is yet question
very far from being settled, whether the errors,
the dangerous errors Of the Administration,
are Of n nature to allow full confidence to be
again reposed for new term, in preference to
the selection of one Of faith unsupported of
action at all times good and true.
The defeat of the Editor Of this paper flowed
from the above causes and from no diminution
of confidence in the political integrity of the
columns of this paper. On the contrary, not
only did those who have hitherto supported it,
bare testimony to it. but the warmest sup,
porters Of the Executive organ gave its or
thodoxy their most emphatic endorsement.
We trust, therefore, that although we shall
not receive reward as does the organ, that.
nevertheless, we shall do good woman ser.
vice to the Democracy, and by holding out
before the people and its representatives at
Cincinnati the cardinal principles of Democ-
racy, they can bring all aspirants to the test
of the plummet and the level, and select him
whose whole career best conforms to them

STANDING COMMITTEES OF THE
HOUSE.

We,on Thursday, published a list OF the stand
ing committees of the House, but we had not
the lspace to comment on them as we desired
to do
It.@as of course, to be expected that as the
Black Republicans had the ascendancy IN the
House and elected their Speaker, they would
have the command of the standing committees.
1t is the policy and the right Of the controlling
party in the National Legislature to appoint
men Of its own views and opinions to the high
places on these committees. In many in
stances good men, Of sound politics, of large
information, and great experience, have been
superseded, by Others Of unsound politics, of
little information, and less experience; but,
whilst we lament, we cannot condemn, the
new Speaker for this action. 1t is the settled
policy of all political parties, TO give to their
own men the leading positions in the commit
tees. d
In comparing The committees, appointed by
the new Speaker with those appointed in the
last Congress, we discover many sad and
striking changes. We find that some of the
down on the committees which they have
hitherto controlled and that others have been
left out Of the lists Of those committees on
which they have served with signal distinc-
ton,
Butlve must all bow to the fate Of war, and
succumb to that rather mercenary doctrine in
American politics, ITO the sictors belong
the spoils." Indeed, now that The election of
Speaker is over, and now that the committees
have been appointed. and now that Freesoilism
and Black Repnblicanism have obtained as
csndancy in the House of Representatives, we
incline to the belief as we have heretofore in
Dictated, it is better that they should have the
sway, having the majority, than that the De-
mocracy, minority, should have acquired it.
1t is the first time that Alb itionism has been
dominant in our National Legislature, and it is
meet and fit that it should have full sway.
Let it work its spite. Let it do its utmost to
advance its own pernicious schemes and nefa-
rious purposes.
The real, special, and particular knowledge
Of the aims and ends of Abolitionism has
hitherto been pretty much confined to the
States in which they live, but now, for the first
time, the 'Abolitionists are figuring, under the
name Of Black Republicanism, in the national
arena aud everybody who reads, or looks, or
listens, will fully know and completely under
stand them and their purposes. 1t is, perhaps,
fortunate for the country that it is so.
If the Democrats had acquired the control
of the Speakership and the committees, they,
no doubt. would have been held responsible for
the action. of Congress. Their enemies would
have attempted to saddle on them the respon-
sibiliy Of every sin and the blame of every
enormity. Now, their skirts are clear.
