The Democratic Party.

There is now no such thing as Il Demo.
cratic party, known and recognized by that
name. The party which did bear that name
is dead st. Louis ALoltton paper.
The Democratic party not only still lives,
but has vitality enough to poll majority of
the legitimate votes of the Union, which it
did on the Sth of November, 1864. A par
ty numbering eighteen hundred thousand
roters in the adhering States may well be
assumed to have an existence They rep
resent population of over nine millions,
and must at last be relied upon to save the
nation, to which duty they will be called
when the consequences Of their fraudulent
defeat at the polls shall be made more APP
parent by the inevitable miscries these must
entail upon the people. Day by day fanat-
icism is tearing off its own disguises-it will
soon stand nude before the nation. The
eyes of the people are even now partially
oponed-when they see clearly, a living
powerin the Democratic party will be among
the things now hidden that will then greet
their newly restored vision.

\ respectable farmer, though a violent
Republican, in southern Ohio, ascertained
that his daughter had become a practical
miscegenationist, by the astounding fact
that she gave birh to mulatto baby. The
author Of the misfortune was found to be a
strapping big uigger in the vicinity. He
was arrested, taken to a provost marshal
and disposed Of for the sum of 81, 900, and
sworn into the service of Uncle Sam. The
grandpa of the little contraband took
nine hundred dollars of the money, gave the
nigger a hundred dollars ''for his trouble,
and returned home feeling that the dark
prospect before his family was somewhat
frightened. d.-Erchangc.
