A DEspIcABLE AND DEsPIsED PARrY.-The ST.
Louis Democrat alludes to the Democratic party in
the following terms The Northern Democracy
since its defeat begins to hear the truth of itself
from its late allies. Before election, President
Johnson, all his bread-and-butter brigade, the
Southern rebels and everybody else who hates the
Republican cause, treated the Northern Democracy
with great condescension. But now Johnson
says, '' 1t is too dead to be worth much courting.
Raymond pronounces it an Infamous party, and
the Southern papers charge to its incompetence
and treachery the failure of the Presidents pol
icy. 1t must be pleasant to the Democrats to
read such encomiums as the following from the
Norfolk old Dominion:

nothing less than big political humbug Their
trade has been that of asood miserable pretenses sop
istry based upon selfish purposes destitute Of principle
OF honor truth or Justice Why trust them longer The
Democracy of the North (our dear rends and deceit

1t is precisely for this reason that the Demo-
cracy of the North has failed. Not that they
have not been sufficiently subseryient to the
South, for their toadyism has known no limits.
But they have been insincere and false in every

were, had earnestness and sincerity, and pluck
enough TO make struggle for their errors. The
Northern people saved the nation in war, and
now will it in the work of reconstruction.
But these Northern Democrats are trusted by no.

They sink beneath a load of nfamy, and the
very men to whom they have been most sub
servient, and for whom they have done the most
disgraceful things, the first to taunt them
with their treachery and their failure. 1t is cru

Mason looked ut it moment, then folding the
