.0-TA New York Democratic contemporary
says: q Democracy makes no promises of
two dollars day and roast beef, or any
other way to benefit the people. It is an
organization designed simply to prevent mis-
chief, to keep the masses from being robbed
by corporations. by tariff schemes &c. to save
the country from free negroism and other
abomlnations which the open and secret foes
OF equal rights are perpeually striving to COM
pcss, and If it is ever falthlcss to this mission
and sets itself up to confer farors OH the pco-
pie to benefit New York, &c., then it should
be demolished as soon as possible, for what
ever name it may call itself by, it W i'll he fed
eralsm in fact" This may be our New York
cotemporary's estimate of Democracy, but
we are under the impression that som. of our
democratic friends in Maryland and elsewhere
will not much like the picture. 1t is Simply
ridiculous for the friends of the present admin.
istration to claim that democracy is an organ.
iza!ion designed to prevent the people from
being robbed" &c. 1t may be efiicacious in
some respects, but of all the political abomi-
nations in regard to the plumber of the public
treasury and the robbery of the people, mod
ern Democracy is unqnestionably the worst
and most fagitious Clipper.

THE FRENCH MINISTER ON THE RIGHT OF
SEARcII.-The Washington correspondent OF
the New York Times says:
have the highest authority for saving
that the reported conversation of NJ. dc Sarti.
scs with the Hon Mr.. s -, of New York
and another gentleman we'll known in Wash.
lngton, on the subject Of the Right of Search.
has been seriously misunderstood and MIS-
stated. The conversation was purely lnfor-
NAL, and the observations of NJ. de Sartipes
were simply to this effect, that the war would
doubtless open wider field for Am erlcan
shipping in the Mediterranean, but that our
shipmasters must be careful not to forget that
the doctrine now established, and principally
IN consequence Of the determ nation ofFlance.
that the " neutral flag shall cover the goods, "
docs not at all invallhate the necessary war
privilege Of searching for con:raban6 of war.
Our vessels may carry all sorts of cargoes to
the Adriatic, but they must not risk conceal
ing munitions of war. The Sc remarks were
the mertSt matter of course the really i'm.
porant bearing of the French Minister'S lam
guage being the intimatlon which II threw GU t
of the now completed good under standing be-
tween the great maritime Powers on the gen.
eral question of the right of Search. In fact,
NJ. dc Sartises' last diplomatic act at Wash.
lngton. as have reason to believe, was the
conclusion of negotiations which have result
ed in an entire acquiescence by England, in
the French and American views of this mat.
ter, France and the United States having
occupied one ground upon the question from
the first.
