THE DEMOCRATIC PARrY.-There Is very alb
surd discussion going on between the World
and Tribune on the platform, the doctrines, the
landmarks, the principles, the rules and regu-
lations, the aims and the purposes, ofths demo-
cratic party. In the name Of straw hats and
root beer, what claim has the World to speak
for the democratic party; and In the name Of
common sense, why should the Tribune worry
itself and It's readers about the democratic
psrtyy Are we still living IN the year 1860,
and under the democratic regime Of poor old
Mr.. Buchanan; or are we in tho midst Of .
tremendous revolution and civil war, under
which all the parties and party platforms Of
1860 are buried as deep among the things Of
the past a. the spois and plunder parties OF the
old Roman empire As We understand 1t, ID
this great crisis of life or death to the nation
the democratic party and the republican party
are but stumbling blocks, their platforms arr
sheer claptrap, rubbish and unmeaning glib
berisb, and the only party that can or ough
to be tolerated by the American people is tn

IMPORTANT FROM MExIco-ADvAScn OF THE
FnENcH-By the steamer just arrived from
Havana we obtain news from Mexico Of consid-
erable interest. The fight Of General Ortega
and bis officers Is now confirmed He has
reached the capital Juarez has put the city of
Mexico in thorough state of defence. The
Mexicans are prepared to defend their capital
to the last extremity, and will food all the ap-
proaches to 1t. The French have begun their
march upon Mexico, aided by the renegade
Mexican. MARQUEE, who, at the head Of 1000
men. is en- route for the capital. General Ba.
zaine. with 1900 French troops, has also taken
up his march for that place. Other divisions Of
the French army will follow There seems to
have been an unfortunate disagreement among
the Mexican authorities. Comonfort accuses
Juarez Of being the cause Of the loss Of Puebla
Juarez, in turn, likewise accuses Comonfert
aud the latter has resigned his command Spite
Of these occurrences, il is evident that the Mexi
cans are determined to defend Mexico, and the
French will surely find II q hard matter to cap

The Poor NEeRoEs-wHo ARE REsPONsIBLE!-
The New York Tribune is raising great outcyy
against the vindictive spirit Of persecution
which is manifested by certain classes Of
whites towards the negro race in the Northern
States upon the slightest provecation or pre-
text for the violence Of mob law. The quss-
tioa recurs, where lies the responsibility for
this vindictive spirit Of hostility We charge It
upon such abolition organs as the Tribune, in
preaching the doctrine OF negro equality, doe
trine which never has been and never can be
recognized in this country until the very founda-
tions Of It's society shall have been over.
thrown. The agitation Of this mischievous
doctrine very naturally innames the Unborn
prejudice Of the white race against the unfor
tunate black race upon the slightest provoca
ton; and hence our abolition organs. in theiI
efforts TO fuse the two races under the law o
equality only create an "irrspressible con
aict," at the expense Of the poor negroes.

BOLDNEss OF THE REBEL PRIvATEERs-AS-
OTHER FLEET OF CRUISERS NEEDED.-By our
news columns it will be seen that the pirate
bark Tacony is in close proximity to our east
ern coast, and is making sad havoc among our
poor fishermen, destroying no less than twelve
in one day.
The exigencies Of the case demand that the
Navy Department charter every available
vessel in this port and in Boston and send
them to sea to-day. There are large number
Of idle steamers in port coaled and ready for
sea- with the exception Of their armament,
which can be put on board in the course of
two or three hours.
The Atlantic. Baltic, Illinois, Empire City,
Mississippi, Fab Kee and Ariel are lying here,
and should be despatched by tonight in quest
of this troublesome little craft. She ought to
be captured before another forty-eight hours
eapse.
There is no reason that she could not be
taken if the Department pursue the right
course The officers at the Navy Yard will dc
their share, and We hope to record the fact
tomorrow that another improptu feet has left
this port to destroy this audacious little pirate

A Goop IpEA.--It is given out that in order
to encourage the re-enlistment Of the two years
and the nine months soldiers, whose terms Of
service have expired, the government proposes
10 offer these veterans, in addition 10 the one
hundred dollars bounty and pay which all the
national soldiers receive, a special bounty of
three hundred dollars; that these soldiers are
then to be formed into special corps, and that
the government Is TO be reimbursed, man for
man, for this three hundred dollars, from the
substitute fund TO be raised under the draft
and which, by the terms Of the act must be de-
voted to this purpose. This Is an excellent
idea and we hope that il will Immediately bt
tcto uractice.

The FATE or MuRoY.--One Of the two re-
publican Journals of this city which puffed Mil
roy intoa major generalship hast winter says he
has been removed from his command The
other says he has been placed under arrest
The news is too good to be true On the con
trary IL is far more likely that he will soon turn
up somewhere with still greater command
just as he was rewarded by promotion after the
second battle Of Bull run. where he per-
formed such strsnge antics. Moreover, he can
now get another wife, having gallantly run away
from his better half, leaving her to the tender
merces Of the rebels. The best disposition 10
make Of him would be to send him TO South
Carolina or Georgia to command negro
brigade, with which he might rival the deeds
of Montgomery. and perhaps fall into the hands
of the Confederates.
