John Mitchell on the Demo-
cratic PARTY.

John Mitchell, the Irish Democratic
editor of the Citizen, published at Wash
ingtOn, says:
The National Democratic party has van
ished like the morning mist, and passed
away as a tale that is told On Wednes-
day, in the Senate, for the first time this
session, our National Democrats ventured
to look one another in the face, and part
ed with shrek Of horror and consterna-
ton. They dared, though reluctantly,
and with wry faces, to try and test the
opinion of what was once a party, upon
the one great question which rules and
distracts all our politics, foreign and do
mestic--slavery.
Such is the harmony of the Democratic
party On every question, save one, they
are two well defined aud very hostile par
ties. That one question is public plunder.
It's a great principle which has maintain
ed the harmony Of the party long enough;
but it bursts at last. The Democratic
party, from this day, goes straight to dis
solution, and the " Union" after it.

The Opposition in Rutherford

We learn from a private source, that
the meeting of the Opposition in Ruther-
ford on Monday last was one of the largest
and most enthusiastic primary meetings
ever held in that county. The convention
made the following nominations: DR.. j,
W. Richards n for Senator, for the cOun-
ties of Rutherford and Williamson; A,
NJ. Mcknight, for Representative from
Rutherford aud Pollard Reynolds for
Representative from the floating district OF
Rutherford and Bedford.
The proceedings were characterized by
the utmost harmony; and a spirit of un.
yielding opposition to the evil deeds OF
modern sham Democracy peryading the
meeting. We understand, that there was
an Influential Democrat, Of life long stand,
ing, present, aud anticipating in the meet
ing, who expressed in the warmest terms
his disgust for the corrupt practices Of bis
party.
The Opposition in Rutherford is wide
awake, and We hail their nominations al
equivalent to success. Patriot ....t
