Ii is noticeable tina; two Democratic Senators,
Hendricks AID Nesmilh, endorse this call, as
they hal reason to DO. L. does not follow,
however, that the Democratic party will give
the johnson party any strength. Doolittle and
Hendricks arc playing INTO each others hands
II the matter, the former intending to draw
off from the Republican party-to be Ultimate
ly swallowed up 10 the Democratic party
enough Republicans to give the Democrats
the political supremacy in those states and con-
gfessional districts which wete nearly evenly
balanced in the last election, while
Hendricks lends his name to encourage
the spoils-seeking Johnsonites that the
party will receive sufficient aid
from the Democrats to make their en-
terprise SUCCESS. Undoubtedly this little
game will be further played, in the progress OF
the fall elections, by mosaic tickets compo- ed
partly of Democrats and partly of Johnsonites,
in proportions varying according to localities
but all having one party shIbbo!eth viz the
restoration Of rebels to power, and the division
OF government patronage among the Doohttles,
Hendricks, R.ndaIls and Nssmiths of the new
political coDglomerate-
We have no apprehension of the success Of
this political scheming. In localities where
parties are nearly evenly divided, enough cor
rupt Republicans may join the new movement
u give the Democrats temporary successful
generally it will be an utter failure. The con
vention when it meets in Philadelphia will rep
resent nobody, and will have no hackers except
tee rebels OF the southern states. 1t will be Z
hybrid to which will own relatio nshp-
Those who getting it up understand this
as well as anybody, and know that lis real
purpose Is to weaken the Republican party,and
thus d the Democrats bur they hope 10 an
pose upon The simplicity of enough credulous
persons to effect their design. In this they
" /. und oubtedly fail. But they viii not fail Ia
one other thing, and that is in finding them
selves, one and all, acting shortly openly, az
