REORGANIZATION OF THE DEMOCRACY. I
A few weeks ago an address was issued
BY little clique Of semi.traitnrs at Wash.
inetou. of which the infamous Valiaudig-
ham was the head, setting forth platform
for the reorganization Of the Democratic
party. The thing proved failure. It's
paternity aside from its hideous and treas
enable features, was enough TO exclude the
bantliug from the embrace of every one 10
whose bosom could be found q spark of
loyalty.
STU the reorganizers do not entirely des.
pair. and the recent reverses Of our army
gave them renewed hope. Hence the re-
cent conservative" meeting Of the Cooper
Institute, New York. made august BY the
presence of that highly moral and disinter
ested patriot, james Grrdon Bennett the
embodiment Of Know Nothingism, james
Brooks. and the Union>loviug Fernando
Wood. who shipped arms to the rebels, and
who, as Mayor of New York, advised that
city to secede and set up as nation on her
own hook. These sages assembled to in.
augurate 40 agitation to put down agitation,
and for the restoration of rlavery to the
throne from which its rashness had caused
it to be hurled. Open treason and fat re-
beilion are proclaimed by them as the al
tentative of refusal on the part of the
Government to make the war worse than
useless. and the last end Of the nation worse
than the FIRST. The leaders in this move
ment are determined that slavery shall re-
ceive no detriment. let what may 5efal she
nation.
These men are evidently not anxious TO
reorgauize the Democratic or conservative
party for the purpose, as political body,
Of conteuding with treason aud the correc
ton OF the evils which prompted the revolt.
If such was the object Of this "reorganiza.
ton" We might discover some good in the
movement, and for the cause of the Union
we might be induced to approve such Q
purpose. But those who seek this reor-
ganizatioa Of an opposition 70 the Repub-
iican party, are as much opposed to the
Administration OF President Lincoln as thew
are to that of JET. Davis. and they are
seeking power for the very same purpose
for which the South armed it's masses. The
achievement Of mere local success is not the
only end Of the revival of the opposition,
and the people will have discovered the
fact the moment they lend themselves to
the Vaccinations of the men now Boosting
Of their conservatism and devotion to the
Constitution. Let the loyal States elect q
majority Of Congressman opposed political.

coin, and the Congress which they would
compose would signalize it's FIRST act by de-
AAr.t I'M fra ef al
Of carrying on the war for the Union. Let
Congress of Democrats be organized, let
the people place the legislative power 10
the haude of such men as Vallandipbam
of Ohio, Biddle Of Pennsylvsnia, Voorhees,
Of Indiana, end we have DO doubt the war
would be ended-enceI to the disgrace OF
the country and the humiliation Of the ma
tional authority.
On these points the people, we think,
need no further Development to convince
them OF the necessity of meeting and couu
teractiug the efforts of the leaders of the
Democracy to reorganize that party. II
remains entirely with the people to decide
whether such an organization shall be ef>
fectec by such men, and while thus allud-
ing to the men attempting this organize
ton, let US look for moment at their an
tececents. Every man of them has, 10
some shape, attempted to cripple the Ma
tional Administration. They have attemp.
ted to do 80 in Congress and through the
columns of the newspapers they have been
| able 70 cautrol.
They first raised the cry of "no coercion. /"
They rext denounce taxation because Il
asked q portion Of the resources of the
american people to preserve the American

seeing that on: armies are filled with the
best men in the land. and that taxation is
demanded by the people as the fairest way
to equalize the burden Of the war, the same
men adopt stale trick to re-orgauize the
Democratic party, upon the plea that its
revival will add to the strength of the Gov.
eminent by providing additional guards
against corruption and malfeasance in Of
fee. Heaven protect the Government when
such guards become necessary for its 5res-
ervatiob
We must meet and counteract the influ-
ence Of this conspiracy and attempt at re-
bellion at the North-because we hold that
every man is guilty of treason who volun-
tarily enters political organization whose
only purpose is to embarrass the Govern
ment and the very same man must under
stand the fact that this is the only object of
the attempts to re.organize the Democratic
party. whether under the guise of '.conser>
vative" or its own old cognomen. Let this
fact be constantly kept before the people
The only way which they can be successfully
iy met and thwarted is for the people to
stand by the Administration and give coun-
tenance to no political organization which
seeks to embarrass or overthrow it.
According to the doctrine If the above
article new era is to be inaugurated in
this country. Not an abandonment of all
party organizations, as of last year was
proposed by the Republicans, but total
abandonment Of all parties except the Re-
publican party. 1t seems to be o change
of the old system Of republican govern
ment. 60 government Of the Republican
party. II says "those who seek this reor-
ganizstion Of an opposition TO the Repu6li

ministration of President Lincoln az they
are to that of JEFF. Davis, and they are

This is q eweepiDg demonstration, and If
true. the days Of tho Republic are num-
bersd.
Lincoln received in the loyal States 99l.-
8l6 votes for President. In the same
States there were cast sgains, him Sol .7S1
votes. giving him popular majority in the
loyal States of l3O,035 out of nearly two
millions of votes. If the S6l,7Sl votes
opposed to Lincoln ''are seeking power for
the very same purpose for which the South
armed its masses" how can Lincoln's $780,
900 majority Withstand that power in the
North and also the million of the South
who are unanimous against him. If JEFF.
Davis wants any encouragement from the
