r A New Party Proposed. 2,s'
The New York correspondent of the
Boston Post says q new party is now
organizing in that city under the name
Eof ''Republican-D Democrats" We are
Of the opinion that the people have ex-
fperimented with new parties to their
hearts content. The Republican par
Ity was "taken on trial" without sin
/ gle virtue to recommend it to the conf.
dence of the people. A large majority
isupported the nominees of the Repub-
lican party more because they desired
q "change" than for any other reason.
They have lived for years under the
prosperous audpeaceful administration
t}of the affairs of the Government by
Democrats, and though they could
urge no plausible objection against it,
they were not wiling to 'let we'll
enough alone" and wandered after
''strange gods Their love of change
has been gratifed. The Republican
party, young and untried, with no fix
ed principles of governmental policy,
and having in, view but ONE idea-the
abolition of slavery ry-succeeded the
Fold Democratic party, whose name and
history has been identified with the
government since its formation. The
result is before us. A year has not
passed since the Republican party as
sumed the control of the Government;
and what do we see? A broken Union;
our trade and commerce destroyed; the
country bankrupt; the pride and glory
iof the American Republic departed,
and our people fighting among them EN-
selves. ed ia as sv rs .e.as8y /
sigIf there be those who have not be-
fore been convicted that the Republi-
can party is totally incompetent as a
governing party, they must be convin-
iced now. If there be those whose
fears have not hitherto been excited
that this party would, within the du-.
ration Of The present Congress, COM
plete the ruin of the country, which.
began when it, came into power, such
| fears must be excited now. To the
dullest comprehension we are not drift
ing, but driving, upon the breakers.
Let the people before uniting them
selves with another new party, reflect
upon the matter for moment. Let
4 themlook at it in the light of reason.
/ Contrast the happiness peace, pros
fperity and the glories Of the pastwith
the darkness and gloom Of the present,
land then decide whether they are will
ing to trust the future of our unhappy
countryein the hands of a new party,
gottenu up by political demagogues to
subserve their own base purposes. No
doubt the politicians who are organi-
zing this new party will present its
claims to the support of the, people in
the nost favorable light. You will
find among its advocates leading mems
bers Of tue Republican party, who will
profess to havo abandoned their Sec
tionaL, abolition IDEAS, andcome with
offerings Of. conservatism. But then it
will be we'll to remember and profit by
the counsel of the wise old Trojan
When the scige of Troy had for ten
years continued without any material
success, the Greeks determined to eff

and virtue, intending that when the
