that appearances are better for us. We
have saved the Democratic party-in
damaged state, nd.eu-but still saved it
from disbandment. 1t must be
purified, reorganized and consolidated"
Clement is disposed TO be grateful for very
triting favors. The Democratic parry
would hardly survive another such L "sa-
wing" as it experienced in Ohio last Fail.
1t could hardly be said to have BEEN ''prc-
served" though it was certainly i'll
pretty pickle" about election time. That
is probably what Vallandigham meant
when he suid it was saved" lie might
have added that his neck was saved from
the gallows, through the mistaken lenien-
cy OF the Government whose laws he per-
sisted in violating, whose authority he
contumaciously attempted to set at deli
ance, and against which he end avored, by
his reasonable harangues, to excite the
open and active hostility of his Demo
cratic" adhercnts.
Nallandigham wants the Democratic
party "punfied." We doubt not his wish
will be gratifed. There is certainly much
need of it-not that the horribly filthy
and plague-stricken charnel-house of De-
mocracy is of itself worth cleansing, but
because its noisomc stencil infects the air,
and taints the whole body polite. II ii
for this reason that the Government Is de-
voting so much of its energies TO the puri-
tication of the Democratic party, just as
the authorities of well gov.lned city
will spare no expense to cleanse a chokcd
sewer, whose foul eXhala.ions are b:eed-
ing ftvers and pestilcncc. Democracy is
being purified every day. by fire and
sword. Its uncleanliness is so decp-sCa:-
ed and ingraincd that the ordinary Sour
ing and scrubbing appliances Lave 10
more effect to cleanse It than they would
have to whiten blackamoor's skin. lti
hldeous ulcers must be caused TO slough
off by the liberal application OF gunpow-
der. Its ugly dciormisie5 must yield to
the knife anu cautery. The judicious eX-
hibition of preparation Of hemp will BE-
very effective IN checking the growth and
spread of the disease which Is proving
upon the flesh, bones and vitals of De-
mocracy, and has rendered it f-culen:
mass OF corruption. The efficacy of the
mode resorted to by the Government for
the publication Of the Democracy is az
tested by New Orleans, Nilksburg, Mtm-
phis, Nashville, Norfolk, and other iormer

Nallandigham wants the Demo :ratic

will be grauted in that respect, TOO. The

'plete-so complete and etfectual that not
vestige of the old corrupt d2moralized,
perverted organization will remain-ro:

vile.
Nallandigham says the Democratic
party must be consolidated And so j:
will be. The great marty's wishes will b,
gratihed in this respect, also. The puri-
ned and reorganized Democratic Earty
must and will be joined to and consolida-
ted with the party which is loyal to the
Government, and bound to it as with
bands OF iron. That is the sort OF consoi-
idation which is now taking place. Soon
the people of Arkansas, Louisiana, Ton
ncSsee and other old Democratic States
will give in their formal adhesion 10 the
Government, yield TO it tn:ire obedience,
and b. consolidated with the loyal people
of the Nation. If thi: is the sort of con-
solidation the traitor-martyr is after, he'll
get it to his hearts content.
Perhaps, however, Nallandigham de-
sircs some other sort of consolidation

That day will never come. The truth Is,
there is really no such party in existence
