.rhe seoFgeaisa:Isno Of the Dcmocratic
Party.
Our amisbls contemporary down street
brought forth, some ten days ago, an ar,
ticle entitled A Few Plain Questions"
demonstrating to his own exclusive sat-
isfaction that the Democratic party ought
not to be reorganized in West Virginia
Ee has been eaclling over this produc-
ton as complacently as pullet over her
first egg. and hasIbrought forward the
little bautling, for exhibition to the pub
lie, three times since it was Matched.
We have no doubt at all that our
friend, and several other office-helders In
this county and State, think that the re-
organization of the Democratic party is
rather inexpedient and may prove seri-
ously detrimental to the personal int
rests and comfort OF the faction which
has rnled the State since its creation
We are very well satisfied that the radi-
cal clique who desire TO stiae the voice
ofthe majority of the people in order
that they may continue to enjoy the pow
er they have abused are very bit
terly opposed to the reorganization of
the Democratic party. We knew per-
fectly well before our neighbor pro-
duced and published three times that
wonderful efusion which Sc highly
tckles his editorial fancy, that the party
which is endeavoring If. this State to
thvars and nullify the liberal policy of
the Federal administration dreaded
nothing so much IS the reorganization
OF tho Democracy and tho triumph OF the
people.
Nevertheless, reluctant as we are to
controvert ths wishes OF this interesting
class ofpatriots, "sO-called," and notwith-
standing our neighbor has three times
fled his objections, we must insist that,
in the language of the preamble to the
Triadelphia resolutions, "Ths history of
the past few years demonstrates the
necessity for the reorganization and per-
petuation of the Democratic party
That history is still fresh IN the minds of
The people, and the crimes of tho Repub-
lican party are remembered no less dis
tinotly than those which the South has

been subdued; and now the people in
tend, at the ballot box, TO subdue thu
foes of constitutional liberty. They in
tend to GET the seal of disapprobation up4
on tho tyranny which is written all over
The past history Of the Republican party,
in this state and elsewhere, ........
But ii is not necessary to look ONLY TO
the past for proof Of the necessity of the
reorganization OF the Democratic EartyJ
The present attitude Of the Republican
party in this State and its schemes for
the future, are sufficient to show that it
shouid be oysrthrown. 1T Is trampIinp
upon the constitution OF The State, and
violating some of its most sacred provis-
ions 1t seeks to keep alive in this State
the pa7gions and prJudices besotten by
the civil war, and stndiously endeavors

ing its willingness to fatally stab the
prosperity of Tho Ststa rather than re-.
linqnlsh its power. Its whole policy is
in opposition to that Exaggerated by the
Federal government and IL calculated,
should it succeed, to plses the people of
this State under more and heayier disa-
blities than the nfesideat has seen fit to
Impose upon South Carolina or any other
southern State. s...i ss..s'
These are few CT the reasons that call
for the reorganization of the Democratic
party, and while we are entirely cogni-
zant that tho triumph of the Democracy
will prove very distasteful to our Quincy
Street Deighbor and the beautiful circle
lie represents, we are just as well satisfied
that the interests of the people demand
it, and by their votes il will be won.
