" REoRGANIzING THE DEMoC.
RACY."

"0rganize, organize" is the cry Of those
few journals still suffered 10 advocate the
cause of JEFF. Davis in the loyal States. As
these papers do not circulate very freely
among loyal people, it may not be generally
known upon what basis or with what platform
ofprincipleS it is proposed that this "organi-
cation of the Democracy" is to De conducted.
In fact if we take ali the Democratic papers
as authority on the point. we shall be as
much at loss TO define the present meaning
OF the word Democracy or TO guess under
what banner they propose to enter the cam
paign, as those who see none Of these sheets
perhaps more so. Whatever we find, how
ever in the Narysville Express is always
consistent. The tone and sentiment of that
paper is intensely hostile to the Government
and favorable TO the cause Of treason, and
we never find anything in its columns, either
original or selected, that that does not par
t-ke Of that hostile character. \ recent
number Of that paper contains the proceed
ings of the Democracy OF Chico, Butte
county, California" Now Chico is not an
important place, nor are the Democracy OF
Butte county ever likely 70 set the Sacra-
mento river on fire, or 10 break anything IN
less it be a rotten rope, but they serve to re-
feet in Il feeble manner the sentiments Of
greater men in bigger towns and 20 make lit
lie local thunder for the Marysville Express
Atthe grand ilndango OF the Chicos that tribe,
in humble imitation ofthe bigger convoca:ions
Of the Vallandighamers did vehemently
snort about '.the African policy o: this Ad'
ministration," ''the secret" Of which is de-
clared TO be ''to keep the present party in
power By an alliance with four millions Of
negroes, as against six millions Of the white
race who refuse all alliance with the party in
power" Hooray!! Then to show the anti
African policy Of the Democratic" crowd who
are not in power" and not likely to be very
soon, and to show their alliance" with the
"six millions" they pass the following highly
patriotic resolutions:
Rsso!rsi That war alone can never restorS the
Union, lQuch less u war NpOl Ils Tl-lsS OF llpsc
who s.sE 10 ae,cci themselves from political coRBse.
tioa s7iEi u.s. as ta0Ss rgh.s secured IN the Fed
sral Constitution.
Rss0iEei That we are OPPOSED TO ALL FUR
TIER OFFENSIVE WAR GgGjgs! sls people Of the
Southern SAFES b. the present party in power,
their pas policy having been constant disregard
Of the constitutional policy a. revolutionary
and disastrous TO the liberties and happiness OF
tbs people, North or south, - secession can be.
II those resolutions don't elevate the De-
rnocracy Of Chico in the estimation of JEFF.
Davis, and give him assurance that his North
ern allies, although few in number, are not
all dead yet, the King of the Last Ditch, is
hard to convince. This IS the platform on
which heavy majority Of the Democracy
are in favor of organizing" Let them or
ganize. Their efforts can avail them nothing
at the ballot-box; their fire in the rear" is
only damaging so far as It serves to stimulate
the hopes Of the rebels. The latter, however,
have become pretty much Of the opinion that
the Copperhead noise in the North is all talk
and no cider, and pin no great amount Of
faith in their assistance. Let the Democracy
ego on with their rat-killing."
