We regard it as fact over which the country has
reason to rejoice. Parties are necessary incident
Of liberal Institutions; but it is not necessary nor
well that any party should continue to exist
through successive generations. Thus continued, a
patty becomes not means through which electors
may give effect to their convictions, but substi-
tute for convictions, aud even for investigation.
There are hundreds Of thousands Of voters now ad-
lerng to the Democratic organization, not be-
cause their unbiased judgment would lead them TO-
day TO connect theuselSes with that organization,
if the question were BOW fiesbly prc'ensed, but
because they have always voted the Dem

spised, yet whose power is practically based on the
assumptivu Of Caste, the degradation and oPPrcs

thral!dom based on habit and ambition, aud would
thus prove widely and permanently beneiicent We
ca1nOt doubt.
OF course, we do not expect to see the Demo-
cratic name abandoned SO lopg az il is q watchword
whereby the votes of the unthinkiug may be swayed

Of party 10 power is not likely to be effected 9TH
er aise than through internal divisions whereby
each section shall claim to be Irregular" and Simon
Pure And whenever the wielders of power sh all
be found foremost in fomentiDg these divisions and
organizing bolts against the regular nominations,
then we may rejoice that the dissolution is virtually
accomplished.
Such is the aspect now presented IN Illinois The
Federal Administration, through its hirelings, i,
there plotting and leading in the good work Of
dividing and destroying the Democratic party,
which has given the Electoral vote of The State to
its candidates at every Presidential election. The
patty held its State Nominating Convention at the
regular time ard tie fullness and fairness Of the
representation ctuld not be disputed. Nearly
every county sent Delegates, all were fairly heard,
and the foundations were unanimous aud unexcep-
tonable. little outside Con. cnton was got up,
indeed, but it represented none but u few Post
masters aud other Federal ofiice-holders. This
boiling squad, being too insignificant TO nominate,
called another Convention; and that Convention has
Just been held, wherein part of the Postmasters and
. very few general mslcontents Of less than half
the Counties came together and nominated tickle.
to run against the regular ticket. The movers in
this bolt had not the f,ntest idea Of the election OF
their ticket, even as possibility. They knew that
the Democratic party united would have hard work
to carry the State this Fall and that their ticket eau
not obtain, at tie utmost, one fourth of the Demo.
cratic votes. The simple, naked, undsgused object
of this bolt is to defeat and break down the regular
Democratic organization. The impulse to tbs
movement comes from those who, by virtue of that
organization, now govern the country.
OF course it will be ssid that the regular Deme-
cratic organization in Illinois is heretical because
il mildly condemns the LccomptOn fraud. Bu. that
this is not reason, but preteIt, is proved by the
fac. that the regular Democratic organization in
New. Hampshire quite as pointcdly con ismned that
fraud in view Of the late ee tion in that State aud
vet the Postinasters aud tdewsIters did their bes.
TO elect the Democratic ticket, without remon-
STRANGE from Washington So the regular Demo-
cratic organizations in Maine, Ohio, Michigan, Iowa,

sb;p with those organizations. The impulse TO
tbs Federal Office holders bolt in Illinois is purely
peuonAl-its object is rot to assert principle but
a. put down man. When Democratic nomina-
items are thus bolted by those whom that org inza-
ii IN has elevated to Office, under no nober impulse
ban personal spite, We maybe surs that the party
IS in the sgonies Of dissolution.
