With the assembling Of the Philadel-
phia Convention, the Democratic" party
ceases to even pretend to a National or
gauization under its ancient title. This Is
one of the most significant facts oil the
season. The very name democracy
as a party appella,ive, has become so
loathsome tina, the first opportunity is I'M
proved to remove it from sight. In sru'n'
i, NAV be said that democracy mas
long been dead. Instead Of decentiy IN
,erring it. when life had obviously become
sx,;pc,. the carcass-after the style IN Al
,;csn countries-was placed on q tail
bsmboo bier, and there it has been per-
ui,,ed 10 70, and fill the air with insutfer-
able eaauyia. for a, least two years. No.
,;ce ,s TO when the heshless bones are to be
taken down and properly laid under the
sod. will be received with quiet approval
by those who were not relatives of the
deceased, and the entombing, after the
manner OF civilization, prove a
great satisfaction to sensible though
mourning kindred, who have been disgust
ed with the heathenish exposure OF the
remains Of their dearly beloved.
Il makes no difference what the special
political, affirmative results OF the Philadel-
phia Convention are TO be; it's a funeral
for Democracy" whoever presides or
controls in its deliberations and marchings.
Tha, Convention may exhibit more merit
than we now anticipate; at present 1t
seems to US to only lack the attendance OF
one absent lord, to make 1t a perfectly
orbed political arrangement. II only he OF
the Chickahominy were present, even
George B. Mcclellan, the "harmonies'
would be complete.
We notice that the San Francisco Err
aminer speaks contemptuousy Of the
"smsll body Of men" who recently met in
San Francisco and styled themselves
National Union Men" The EzGm-
iner evidently considers tina, those "quon-
dam Black Republicans" as It calls them,
had no right to make nominations for the
Quaker City conclave of the Allsorts.
We are rather inclined to think the Ezam-
insr is right, in this as we are quite con-
6den, that our old-time comrades made q
mistake in appointing such men as Sena-
tor Cole for their representatives at the
gathering named. We are just in receipt
of a letter from Senator Cole. in which he
says:
II would rather see the traitors in HI
than at the head Of this Government again;
and so, l know, would you. The Presi-
dents feelings, and sympathies, and pre-
| iudices, aud education are all with his
section" They are all Southern :" and
mos, naturally so. That is what is the
matter. Shall we keep the old balance
between the North and South We
thought slavery when it was swept away
carried tina, with it; and there is no more
need for its being left or revived thanthere
is for having the same character Of dis
tinction between the East and West"
We Judge it safe to conclude that Sena-
tor Cole will no, accep, the commission
recently and gra,uisously. and without
consulting him, conferred upon him al
San Francisco !; and if the Philadelphia
Convention should prove true to the terms
Of its call, the Union people generally
will have great reason to wonder, and tc
reverse an opinion concerning it which
they have prophe,ically formed. Fo,
ourselves we would have neither part MOI
suspected lot with "Quondam Black Re
publicans," or others, who are now will
ing to bed and board with Vallandigham,
Wood, Forsyth and Company.
