good one, as every young man should

The Doom of The Democratic Party,
The Democratic party is doomed. The
Federal party fifty years ago opposed a
popular war and disappeared. The Dem
ocratic party opposed vital and inevita-
BILE and glorious war, and it is perishing
before our eyes. In the State of New
York it processes to hope for little lon
ger life. But it is the profession Of dis
pair. No well informed man believes for
an instant in tho recovery Of so exhaust
ed and worthless frame aud its own
hope is based upon the fact that it has
formally recanted eaten its own words,
and confessed its own disgrace and defeat.
1t is only right that, the rebellion hav-
ing been defeated, its great ally should be
annihilated; and. the character of the
American people is shown as proud in
their steady union for the overthrow OF a
false party as it was in the destruction Of
foul conspiracy.

the people conquered, could turn round
