The Democracy.

How manly and magnaEimous is the
following from the New York Times
{ Republican, when compared with the
mean, partisan bigotry exhibited by Re-
publicans in other parts:
at would have been easy, perhaps, for
the Democratic masses of the free States
to have ovcrthrown the government and
permanently discovered the Union, by re-
iusing to support Mr.. Lincoln when his
was MANAGED, and when, la
ter, thcsuprcmacy of the constitution was
assailcd by tho practical assertion Of the
right of secession. But the Democracy
did not so read their honor or their safety.
They loved their country more than party;
and in Mr., Lincoln they saw not the sue
ccSsiul partisan, but the constitutional
President of the United States. And,
therefore, they supportcd-not grudging
ly; bu. heartily-as earnestly and zeal

on the American blockade, again COM
plains that it is not effectual, and rem
inds the Washington Government that
foreign Government, are bound to recog-
nize real blockade. 1t reminds the
people Of Lancashire that the running
of the blockade by the Bermuda, shows
that the cutting off the cotton supply is
the work of the South as much as the
North.
1t also seems quite true that all cotton
expectation has been forbidden by the
rebel government.

asking to be relieved under the recent act
of Congress In separating from you,
cannCt refrain from expressing my regret
that your health, shattered by long service
aud repeated wounds received in your
country's defense, should render it ncces-
Sary for you to retire from your high po-
siton at this momentous period of our
history. Although You are not to remain
in active service, yet hope that while |
continue in charge of the Department over
which | now preside, | shall at all times
be permitted to avail myself of the bene-
fits of your counsels and sage experience.
1t has been my good fortune to enjoy a
personal acquaintance with you for over
forty years, and the pleasant relation Of
that long time had been greatly strength
cncd by your cordial and entire COT opera
ton, in all the great questions which have
occupied the Department and convulsed
the country for the last six months. In
parting from you | can only expresses the
hope that a merciful providence which has
protected You amidst so many trials. will
improve your health and continue your
life long after the people of this country
shall have been restored to its former hap
piness aud prosperity.

Pisily and Pointed.

The Salem, (Mass.) Gazette, strong
Republican paper, thus picks off that
splendid political quack, Charles Sumner;
"To bring this rebellion to close MIR,
Sumner says, call in the four millions OF
slaves. To catch pigeons put salt on their
tails. By the time you get at your four
million slaves You have already conquered
and have no need of their services, even il
they were desirable, We really wonder
how Sc much importance can be placed,
by some people, upon this slavery element
as a means, when it is notorious fact
that our land forces are at this moment in
defensive, rather than an aggressive po-
sition; and that the very adoption of the
plan proposed, by paper proclamation.
which is the only adoption atpresent avail
able, would weaken even this defensive po
sition, by turning against us some 90, 600
fighting Kentuckians, who are now, or are
about to be, engaged on our side.
