President Making.

In those good old times when the crack
of the slave-whip made music in the land,
and Southern DULLES found exercise for
their bludgeons upon the shoulders of
!" Yankee Abolitionists" in the very pre-
cincts of the Nations Capitol, amid the
vociferous plaudits of an admiring crowd
of spectators; when Congressman fear
lessly shot down waiter boys whose man
ner of serving did not please them, and
Mason and Dixon's line was barrier be-
yond which many Northern citizens could
pass only on paGit of their lives; when the
political DEGREES of slave-holding oligar-
chy were potential as the dread orders of
the Venetian Council of Ten, and Presi-
dental elections were decided within the
limits of Democratic conventiens-it was
an easy matter for the "old party" to OBJ
tain candidates for Office. Indeed, the
chief difficulty encountered in convention
in those days was the sup srfuity of appli.
cants; a man could scarcely throw brick
into a crowd around hotel or grocery
without knocking down Democratic
candidate for President. These were hal
cyon days for the Democracy, and there
are many even now whose memories fond

for the deserving and faithful. .
But times change, and people with them.
The old war-cry of Democracy no longer
rings so exultingly MS of yore; its banner
has been SO frequently trailed In disgrace
along the earth, that it no longer streams
upon the breeze with its wonted defiance.
Its prestige and power are gone, and the
party itself would have long since dissolved
in thin air and been seen no more of men
had not faitbless Executive restored to
them the old spoils of Office, and held
together nuclens sufficient to retain some
semblance of organization and activity by
the encouraging blandishments of official
patronage Thus has thealmost exhausted
frame of Democracy received feeble re-
newal of its health, just sufficient tc show
what small vitality now animates the
wasted form. Desperately tenacious of it's
slowly ebbing life cheating itself, as dying
men are wont to do, with delusive hopes OF
future strength and triumph, it proposes
once more to go through the forms of con-
vention, and endeavor to deceive men into
the belief that its final recovery is possible.
But candidates are not SO numerous as in
the days of Its power; it mo longer finds a

90 A letter from a prominent citizen
of Atlanta, received in New York, says
that new political movement based upon
the belief that reconstruction under the
laws of Congress is certain to be accom-
plished, and conceding impartial suffrage
as an irrevocable fact, has been started m
that State, and that it is designed to make
such liberal concessions to the colored
voters as to carry large portion of them
into the party, and thus secure the sub
stantial control of the State to the white
element They begin to see that this can
only be done by conceding all that Congress
has proclaimed. 4s3ga as.i ..f.,, to-.

,retful tone, although she had emptied

host Of gallant leaders eager to bear its
standard in the Presidential campaign !;
its old supporters are alienated; its former
guides dead, or living abroad in disgrace (;
the difficulty now Is not to choose from an
army Of aspiring candidates, but to find q
man 80 desperate as to undertake its leader
ship.
The sanhedrims of the party have had
frequent consultations. of late, over the
mournful case they have to treat. Demo
cratic doctors from the West have met in
grave council with their brethren from the
East and South, endeavoring to discover
whether there may not be some balm in the
political Gilead that will at least soothe the
departing agonies of their patient, or try
ing to galvaniZe into simulated life his
corpse-like figure for another campaign.
AT council a few days since, it was de-
termined to intrust the fortunes of the De-
mOcracy in the next Presidential contest
to General Steadman, it being considered
nessary to give the responsibility of mill.
tary title to their fortunes. For some rea-
son, however, this decision does not prove
entirely satisfactory to subsequent as
semblage, who consider themselves more
competent than others to direct q proper
course of treatment. 1t is now given out
that General Hancock is to lend his name
and prestige to the attempt to restore this
wasted Organization, and that he has all
ready commenced effecting the necessary
preliminaries in his administration at New
Orleans, having been detailed to this post
for the express purpose Of doing the work
he has now commenced. The official head
of the nation is said to have acquiesced in
this new treatment of the case, and surely
the counsels of Mr.. johnson should have
some weight with the supporters of an or
ganization which would have already been
decently buried had it not been for his sus-
tanning aid.
The country will watch with interest

deavor to ascertain how long q physical
organization can be made to show signs of

much to arrange and little time to do it in,
