democratic organization in this country will b
stone here and piece of black stone there
species of hydra of many heads, composed {
many men of many minds" Wash. Uniol
The "official organ" Of the president and th
4 democracy is very candid, and worthy of du
credit. The t'great democratic organization
the .only national party,'it cannot be di:
4 gulsed IS rent asunder, broke up into section;
! factions, and now hangs together only by
name, which has no business of application
The comedy Of the "great party" is playe
out. and the farce is now TO come off. The ad
: ministration faction of which the Union is tn
authorised mouthpeee, and which has, in ii
official capacity, arrogated the exclusive direc
ton in all matters Of policy, of principles" Q
!. in platform" building, finds itself now in tn
minority of its own party, and is forced to snarl
RI quarrel and denounce its own friends, and doe
i every thing possible TO keep up sectional tn
4 multi and distract the country. The Union
! daily admissions regarding the democracy ma
4turally give rise to the question who or wha
is the democratic party, as it stands today?'
The name has lost all its original connection
has become detached from the old democratic
organisation as such, and is now meaningless
The various factions which compose this. "Mo
Sale" party, are now setting out upon their sepa
rate voyages, and each will arrogate to itsel
the exclusive right to the title ofthe tgreat de
r,oc.acy." Neither faction will represent prin-
Iciples bearing the slightest analogy to the 9TH
TER, and the only democracy to found in either
lis an Unsuitable desire to retain or to get into
office; and to accomplish that they are ready
to embrace any '.expedeney" or 'sm." The
Eloayes and fishes is the end oftheir aspirations
The present split in the southern section of the
party in regard to the open and defiant defac-
ton of Dougla portion taking sides with
president Buchanan in hurting denunciations at
1.-The Little Giant, while the other portion loudly
declare that they approve of Douglas oppo-
sition and hostility to the pro slavery constitu-
ton submitted by Kansas to congress for &C
/
| ton Of him as a citizen, statesman and a pa
tRiot' demonstrates such to be the fact. In
1 the present rather peculiar position ofthe demo
cfacy, and as the quarrel now stands, the APP
| plicatioD BY the federal organ Of the party Of
the term "Mosaic' is highly characteristic. 1t
defines the tie party precisely. 1t is madeup
| q opposing elements and conflicting opinions,
ab distinctly marked as the many colored tiles

ready to adopt and swear By new 'species Of
! hydra Of many heads
| The Chicago Herald 1.-THE official organ of the
Buchanan democracy in Illinois, of the 9Th
inst, contains the following announcement,
which we give for what it is worth:
!"On The eve Of going TO press we have re-
ctived private dispatches from Cairo. Jones'
boro', Shawneetown and other points in Egypt,
assuring US Of the election of two and probably
three national democrats to the lower house,
aad assuring rs also that three Of the demo
clatic senators holding over will, beyond doubt,
oppose tile reelection of Douglas Added to
this news, we have the assurance that several
Of the senators and representatives ust elected
and supposed to be favorable to Douglas, will
not support him. but will maintain the integrity
81 the democratic party Of the country by vot-
ing for Judge Breese, or some other good and
reliable democrat. This intelligence comes to
us in such shape, and from sources SO reia-
Bile, that we cannot doubt t-cannot doubt
tslat Mr., Douglas will be defeated in his efforts
t. secure his reelection to the United States
shnate.''
We cannot state what amount of confidence
il to be placed on the Herald's statements; but
il is becoming apparent that, instead Of being
az an end, the warfare between the Buchanan
and the. Douglas factions of democracy, has
just commenced The force and influence cff
the administration will be exerted to the utmost
Il break down Douglas.

There is small rumpus in the democratic
camp over in North Carolina. owing to the fact
that there are more aspirants than Offices
Golden, editor of the Raleigh Standard, (who
has done more than all the politicians put to-
gather To build up democracy in North Caro-
lifa, was put forth for the U. States senate,
bit several old leaders of the party have ap-
pfared, each of whom claim the place as their
peculiar property. The Standard hits the ''pa-
tent righ3' leaders of democracy some heavy
licks, while the Warrenton News, another dem
ocratic journal, takes sides with him, supports
Holden's claims to the office and the support of
tie party, firing hot shot into ''the self annont-
cd autocrats," as the opponents Of H. are de-
nominated. IT'S very interesting little fam
y fight,
The president it is reported does not credi,
he charges made in1he London Times against
M. Reed, the United States minsterto China,
with regard to his conduct about the treaties.
Tie Finest favored nation clause was added
othe treaty negotiated by Mr.. Reed; there
ore argue his friends, he could have no mo-
i've to prevent the British or French from OBJ
aiming any number ofpriseges. On the con-
rary, it would be to the interest of his country
