The Reorganization or Parties.
Many have hoped that at least during
the continuance Of the wal party lines
would not again be drawn. So far as
Republicans are concerned, they have in
most places, during the last twelve months,
abandoned their party organizations. It
is true, Ia Congress they have generally
voted 10 carry out their principles. tits
the duty of every Congressman 10 sustain
the measures for which he was pledged
TO his constfuents-sueh measures as be
believes fo-be the best for the country
The Republicans in Congress, in the laws
they have passed, have carried out their
well known principles. For instance,
they have always advocated a Homestead
law-lhey have always sustained it, but
Democrats, as long as they had power
defeated il. This law the Republicans
have passed. The Republicans have al
ways opposed the extension Of slavery
.
INFO The Territories; they have passed a.
law prohibiting It. They have always
believed That pOlgamy was a relic Of bar
bariSm and they have passed a law
making ma criaa. They have always
advocated a Pacific railroad, and a bill
providing for its construction has passed
one branch Of Congress, and viii shortly
pass the other. These measures they
are responsible for, and they viii be sus-
tanned by The people and by posterity.-
But SO far. as appointments to Office were
concerned, they have acted With degree
os iberaliiy never exhibited BY Demo-
Gratis under any circumstances. Since
the commencement of the war, Democrats
have been appointedto Gil Offices of every
grade, from a seat in the Cabinet down
70 ihe loves, Office in the gift of the
President. In The army, more Demo-
3 Gratis than Republicans have received
commissions as Brigadier Generals, Col
onels, &C., sc, In State officers. in
States where the Republicans were
greatly in the majority, at the elections
last summer, lifelong Democrats were
nominated and elected blythe Republicans.
Ia this county, containing a decided Re-
publican majority, two Of the four mem
bers elected to the Legislature. were
Democrats, receiving almost the entire
Republican vote. As long as there was
any hope of Offices in the army to fill,
the Democratic press were very profuse
in their fatteFy of President Lincoln
but no sooner is il understood that .'no

terms. Nothing that The Administration
does, pleases them. From reading their
articles one would hardly know that a
war was now raging in the country
Nothing scarcely except abuse of the
Administration can find a Place 10 their
editorials. Nothing the Administration
does pleases them. They find fault with
Hunters proclamation, and still more
with The Presidents, in which Hunters
is declared void. But The principal pre-
text upon which they harp, is the swim.

tractors. Their charges against the
Administration appear in very bad taste
