OFFICIAL DEMOCRACY UNHAPPY.

OFFICIAL DEMOCRACY UNHAPPY.
The Boston Post is seriously troubled be-
cause it can not find in the republican party
"a wide disaffection." We learn from this
very disinterested and most admirable author
ity that ''wanton injustice has been done to
VIM. H. Seward, that profound discomfort
is at work among Ihe thousands who expected
his northumberland that feeling hostile to
Lincoln and Hamlin "s rising all over the
north among republicans" But it can not
make visible the marching and cursing armies
of republican malcontents and rebels that act
so vigorously in its troubled Imagination it
can not give names, facts, and figures it can
neither see, nor make others see, any trace of
reality to justify its representations; never
theless, it shows its readers very clearly what
the democratic leaders desire to have true.
How it would cheer them TO find somewhere,
in republican newspaper or speech, one posi-
tive utterance OF hostility to the nominations
made at Chicago! But, it can not be found /;
nor is there single republican in the country
rho will afford them the pleasure they
crave
The responses to the Chicago nominations
from Maine to Missouri and Minnesota, are
cordial and full of enthusiasm. Everywhere
confident of victory. Not syllable of dis
content is heard from any quarter. Those
who sought the nomination of Mr.. Seward,
and who are not likely ever to- cherish les
sened admiration for his eminent character,
talents and services, have too much sympathy
it'll his magnanimous devotion to principle,
to do otherwise than support the nominations
with earnest good will and there never was a
party more harmonious, enthusiastic and hope
full than is the republican party at the present
time. The fervor and unanimity of the accla-
nations in response to the nomination of Lin
coin and Hamlin, outgo expectation and
even the democrats themselves bear witness
to the popularity and strength Of our nominees.
We are content to have the Boston Post hunt
among us for disaffectlon and rebellion, or to
watch itself blind, searching our party for in
harmonious and hostile demonstrations "to
avenge the wrongs of Mr. Seward" That
journal is not likely to engage in better bust
ness until the republican party makes it GER
tain of the fact, that the days of slave demo-
cratic ascendancy in this country are number
ed, and that all its retainers and official organs
must go into retirement.
We do not quite understand why the Post
should lie SO forward to imagine troubles for
the republicans when it has so much work to
do at home. We suppose, however, that the
gentleman of the Post turn from their own
party in despair, conscious that their rickety
old organization is wrecked beyond repair, and
must now be laid away-to moulder with the
ubbish of the past. The honest work of that
party was all done long ago. 1t is time for it
to disappear, Its present troubles arise wholly
tr ON its worn out, dissolying condition, and
not from anything special in Mr.. Douglas or
anybody else. When the republican party be-
comes capable of holding such Charleston
co invention as that which met, the other day,
quarreled, divided, balloted hopelessly, and
then adjournedNO Baltimore, all good people
should pray for its destruction and they may
be confident that the destruction will come,
neither prayedtor or not. AT present, we re-
dates and our prospects, that we can afford to
endure all the criticism which the Post and its
compeers have to bestow upon u.s. But we
suggest to them that their own affairs, which
are not in prosperous condition, require all
their time and attention. Here in Massachu.
sets the democracy are not in the charming
condition of happy family and if the Post
can bring Caleb Cushing B. F. Butler, with
all the official democracy, and all the wrathful
Douglasites, to embrace each other tenderly
and sing together loud psalms of concord, it
will deserve to be called a successful missiona-
ry, and earn right to criticise the Chicago
nominations steadily night and day for
mo nth. Yet we counsel that journal to be
modest and forbearng until it las realized
