Duty of Democrats.

IF we could counsel Democrats in the
present sad emergeney-we mean those that
on principle are Democrats of the old jeff
ersOnian type, we would say: Your pres
ent duty is plain Act with those that least
differ withyou.
But, while acting with these avoid being
absorbed in their organization. OF course
mere ofice-seekers will go over, here or
there. Let them go But if those now, an
yet who are Democrats on Jeffersonian
principles, will but organize, the day is not
far off when old things may be restored 1t
is not numbers but, determination and prin-
ciple that will win. In every township
throughout the States, there should be for
med compact or Union, or Common, of
sincere Democrats. Ifyou can't get hun
dred true and trusty men, get fifty If you
can get fifty, get twenty. If not twenty,
get ten, or else begin with FIVE, or with two,
and make converts-add to your numbers I
fDemocrats will go to work in this practi-
cal and common-sense way, the hour will
soon come, when on the explosion of present
errors, politicians casting about for some
other thing to fasten to, will be but too glad
to find an organization founded on our an
cient American system, and resolute in its
maintenance. So after years of preparation
for the recovery. in few months-success
the glorious success of our traditional
principles-may come in full fruition.
IL L
cabals, but openly, write down the cardinal
principles of Jeffersonian Democracy, and,
in numbers great or small-even if it be but
two or three of you in place, swear to each
other that you will hold to them, and seek
to propagate them Do this, and you are
sure to win the day at last Freeman

SION i. said to have ensued, In which, If the

himself m very decided and emphatic terms,
AGAINST the plan of the committee and IN
fsyor If fhe immediate admission of loyal
Representatives from the lately rebellious
Statos Secretary McCulloch was as posi-
tive as the Secretary Of State in his opposi-
Ann to the ulan recommended by the COM
mittee, and expressed himself as strong in
favor Of an immediate consumstion Of the
President 5 restoration policy, by the adnis-
mon into Congress of loyal men from the

equally decided in his opposition to thecom-

to the policy which had been agreed upon
and consistently pursued by the administra-
ton and he was grati6ed that the President
had brought the subjectto consideration
of the Cabinet Secretary Wells was unequiy-
acally against the committees scheme, and
was earnest in his support of the Presidents
policy, comprehending the instant admission
into Congress Of the loyal representatives
from the States lately in rebellion. Secre-
tary Harlan was rather reticent, and dexpress-
ed no opinion. Postmaster-General DENIM
son was in favor Of carrying outthe restora-
ton policy Of the President, but expressed
some doubts as to the precise time at which
loyal representatives from the Southern
States should be admitted to seats in Con-
gress. Attorney General Speed was not
present at the meeting, being on visit to
his home in Kentucky. The President was
earnest in his oppositionto the report of the
committee, and declared himself against all
conditions precedent to the admission ofloy-
al representatives from the Southern States,
in the shape of amendments to the Consti-
tuition, or by the passage of laws. He IL
sisted that under the Constitution no Sta.e
could be deprived ofits equal suffrage in the
Senate, and that Senator's and Representa-
tives ought to be at once admitted into the
respective House, as presented by law and
the Constitution as it is, and remarked that
having sustained ourselves under it, during
terrible rebellion, hethought that the gov
ernment could be restored withouta resort
to amendments. He remarked, in general
terms, that if the organic law is to be chang
ed at all, it should be at a time when all the
States and all the people can participate in
the alteration.
