The Democracy and tho Next Presidency-

in battling with the heather nations around
them or in fighting among themselves, they
were always in hot water. They were fire.
quently, in punishment for their manifold sins
and transgressions, driven to "the last ditch;"
but in this extremity, in calling humbly upon
the Lord, they were as frequently saved by
some great miracle, or by some inspired prophet
commissioned to designate their leader and to
tell them what to do. The democratic party of
the United States barring the miracles and the
saving interventions of the Lord, has gone, in q
small way, through similar experience. 1t

factions have nearly destroyed the party-the
ten tribes have revolted; but still remnant of
Israel survives, and still prophet, now and

John Van Buren,, as the latest of these pro-
phets, has just passed before us. AT our great
Union celebration on Monday last, in the
guarded language Of an oracle, he spoke as a
prophet. Judge DAILY gave the cue in his reso-
luton declaring that "the holiness, CELEBRITY
and certainty which have marked the recent
campaigns of General Sherman afford lesson in
the military art which will place the officer who
accomplished 1t in the foremost rank Of dis
tinguished generals" but John the Prophet
brought this "officer" out in bold relief as the
champion for the democracy. Thus we md
him endorsed in Johns suggestive speech as
.the architect Of his own fortune" who
governs his own movements" who stakes
direction from the circumstances that exist
around him." who "has shown great enterprise
in sustaining his troops upon the country
through which he has passed." and who has
proved himself a. . soldier zone of the mos'
distinguished In the military annals Of the
world" But, further, says Mr.. Van Buren,
'You will also bear in mind the humanity o.
his movements-(mark that)--the extreme
saving, not only Of ammunition, but Of human
life, BY which great and important points were
conquered and occupied almost without the
loss Of human life. In my humble judgment
victories like these are what call forth the loud
toned gratitude Of the American people"
