ATTITUDE OF TIE DEMOCRACY.
For thirty years tho democratic party
was virtually supreme in the United
States. In the main, itput up and put
down whom it would. II did mofe.-
Il changed both lis measures and its prin.
ciples as its listed. What it denounced
one year as uusound, dangerous, and in.
lolerablc, it accepted ten years later as
most wise, benidcent and desirable.-
These mutations continued until ceased,
altogether 10 be what il was. and became
entirely what it had previously despised,
Amid all its changes and vagaries it man
aged so to pauder to the prejudices and
passions, the animosities and halreds of
the hour, as 10 maintain an assured and
augmeuting majority. In this sense it
was the people, 1t was the mony. A
long career of prosperity inflated its pride
it became arrogant, naughty, imperious.
In the plenIi'ude gifts power, it thought
/; might do what it would, and that none
could successfully call it to account, or
dispute its right to govern much less
degrade it from its high eminence into the
lowly condition Of a powerless and abject
minority. This infaluation was its ruin
Believing that it had a charmed life,
which no arrows Of Fate could pierce, and
that there was a sorcery in its name that
would continue to enahant its followers
when the substance had totally Oxhaled
and Aoatcd away into the receptacle oil
departed things, it entered into con-
spiracy, first with Slavery and afterwards
with Treason, confined in the expocta-
ton Of substituting It's behest in the place
of Conscience, and of giving its decree
the force Of public law.
1t would naturally be inferred that the
events of the last few years would have
abated to q large and wholesome degree
this insuiIorabe cgotism. Never was a
party more absolutely abashed and repro.
bNted by az outraged and indignant pCo-
pie. Not only have its measures been
discarded and its principles been con-
temned, but lis real leaders resting under
a weigh. Of popular odium altogether un.
matched in this county, il in any other,
Successive appeals to the ballot.box
have disclosed no Indications Of reyer-
sal Of the great and solemn verdict rem
dered in 1860. On the contrary, there
are multiplying signs tina! the judgment
pronounced in the autumn OF that year
will be repeated 10 1868 with increased
emphasis.
Sill, tho democratic journals and or
ators rOtoin their old habit, and swaggor
away as il actually under the conCoit that
they are the people, whose rights in the
government have been temporarily uSur-
pod, but will be speedily vindicIod,-

tensions for which they have nothing to
show but tho names of ancestors they

There was once Jew who was particu iarly fond of pork, and who used to go out of town te&eat 1t at favorite tavern. One day he had just cut slice when Q fearful clap of thunder and Q dazzling flash o5 lightning illuminated his room. Conscience stricken and trembling, he dropped his knife and fork. By degrees, however, his courage returned, the weather cleared little, and he had swallowed Q few mouth fuls, when another clap and another flash, ten times worse than the first, renewed his terrors.

 2. Prayer meetings; their importance and tho best mode of conducting them.
 3. How can we most successfully devel ope the lay element in our Churches?
 4. How shall we best reach with the pow CT of the Gospel, those who neglect th' means of grace?
 The discussions were in tho highest de gree interesting and practical, and the ex ercises such as to produce happy impres sion on all present.

The Situation.

The situation at Washington has not un- dergone material change during the past week. No further removals arc yet an- nounced, although Washington correspon- dents of the New York papers aver that Gems. Howard and Pope must soon follow Sickles.
 The feeling in favor of impeachment grows daily; and unless the President de- sists from the incorporate action of the past few weeks, it is evident that the first business of the House, on reassembling in November will be to frame articles for his impeachment.
 Rabid Conservative papers incite the President to attempt a revolution and the forcible dissolution of Congress; but the more moderate advise conciliatory policy. Any removals made now would, they say, be too late to help either the South or the Democracy
 Gen. Grant, on his side, is using all tho authority given him to prevent further mischief. He has issued an order forbid ding the reappointment, by the new Dis trict Commanders, of officials whom thei predecessors have removed. His position as General-in-chie of the armies is ons from which he cannot be removed without the consent of CongYss While therefore, the country is greatly excited and cxasper ated by the violent course of Mir. Johnson, we do not imagine there is longer any real danger of revolution. The President lacks the power. not the inclination.
