OUR DEMOCRATIC PARTY SoUABBrEs.-The har-
mony Of the democracy at Syracuse Is illus
trated by three delegations and three or four
committees from this city, each claiming to be
the genuine article. Among the managers of
these delegations and committees are Mayor
Wood, three Congressman elect-Mcsara Coch-
rane, Kelly and SIckles-and a gang Of federal
officeholders, including such shining lights as
John McKeon and Captain Rynders These dis.
graceful squabbles among the of1ceholders are
calculated to convey but poor opinion Of the
sagscity or common sense of their leaders
Members of Congress and federal ofIceholders,
one would think, IL they consulted the fitness Of
things, would keep away from all party conven-
tions limited to purely local affairs. Their pre-
sence at this time at Syracuse only serves 10 keep
alive the spirit Of faction and mutiny among their
followers The President hereafter, we hope
will make an example of some Of those subordi-
mates who leave their duties TO the government
for the purpose Of serving as pipelayeu OF this
or that faction at Syracuse. Collector Schell

NEWSPAPER FArLURTs.-Our readers may re-
collect the fuss that was made some little time
since about the concentration of four Boston
journals into one, under the title of the Boston
Trondlr. We were informed with flourish Of
trumpets that this union of interests and talents
was to have for result the creation of a great
leading organ, rivalling in importance any of
those in New York. Well, the experiment has
been tried and has proved a complete failure.
The person who undertook the editorial manage
ment Of the 7rareller under the new manage
ment has, II seems, retired In disgust to his
native place Springfield, TO resume the conduct of
bis little village sheet, from which he should
never have been removed. This settles the ques-
ton, If ever there was any doubt OF 1t, Of the
impoeslbility Of establishing q first class daily
paper out Of New York. None bu. q great
metropolitan city can support journals pretend
ing to any extensive influence over the public
mind. We think II will be some time before any
foolhardy SPECTATORS will be tempted to repeat
such an experiment as that made with the Boston
Trorcver.
So much for the general question connected
with this enterprise. With regard to the special
causes that contributed TO its failure we have
few words to cay. For persons who aimed at
such extensive objects as the proprietors of the
Trareller, nothing could have been more absurd
and ridiculous than the means that they en-
ployed. They had the meanness and littlcncss,
for instance, to commence their operations by a
series Of attacks on the HERALD, in The hope that
we would bring them into notice by replying to
them We arc not accustomed to let fly at such
small game, 80 we let them slide with the
merited oblivion into which we knew they must
fall Roquiesot in PACE. -

In due time We may expect letter from Santa
