TIE NEW DEMocRATIC oRGAN

The Hon Mark NJ. PomeroY, the great DEM
ocratc editor and statesman of the West has
honored ms with copy Of his new national
" daily paper" The DrmV,tut Wo arc clad 10
have an opportunity of congratulating Mr.. Til
den and his friends that they are about to have
An organ that will "force the fighting" We have
been convinced that the disgust which the pure
Democracy Of New York felt for The Herald
and The World would take expression in this
form. It was impossible for great party, q
party of lusty, jealous, and bold men, to for
ever follow the uncertain leadership of The
Herald, or TO Gnd comfort in the endless
columns of twaddle which the hangers-on Of
the Manhattan Club daily distill into The Neo-
York World. They have yearned for leader
like Pomeroy; and now Pomeroy comes among
them Saul among Democratic prophets, and
raises the banner of true Democracy in New
York.
Mr.. POmerOy informs MS that his paper will
be "red hot :" that it will he "A true reliable,
" out-and out Democratic daily paper :" that it
will be "the sharpest, planest, most readable,
"best edited. and most interesting daily paper
"ever issued In America and that ~ wil per-
"sistenty and unfinchingIy adrOedte the equality
chat in arranging this platform, it is with
"ful knowledge of the wants of the people,
"their sentiments and demands The difference
between Mr.. PomerOy and the other Demo
cratic editors is, that he is sincere. lie claims
to be q Democrat, and nothing else. A period
cal writer recently made sensation by pub
fishing the history of 1.-THE Wickedest Man in
New York"-Mr John Allen of Water-st What
Mr.. Allen is TO New York society Mr.. POmer0y
is to American journalism He is the Wick
"edestn Editor in the country, and doesn't claim
to be anything else. Mr.. Allen makes his liv-
ing by harbOring prostitutes, selling "red-hot'
liquOr, having "red-hot" dances, and gen.
orally furnishing his guests with "red-
"hot" entertainment. The consequence is
that Mr. Allen is beloved denizen
of Water-st., and on the high rond to fortune.
Mr.. Pomeroy proposes to publish red-hot
newspaper He will do justice to the virtues
of Wilkes Booth lie will tell us of the loves of
Grant among the Digger Indians, and about
Buffers enormoha larceny of spoons, md will
illustrate the torrents of the gorilla Lincoln
as he "roasts In the lowest hell" Mr. John Allen,
If he were TO start newspaper to rival
Pomeroy, could not more aptly suit The Demo-
cratic taste. 1t Is all very well for these curled
darlings of the Manhattan Club, sodden with
the fumes of Mr.. BarlOws champagne, to write
their rhetorical frbbles about the Constitution
and the laws but the rue-hearted Democrat,
the Democrat who goes to the polls and assists
In swelling the great Democratic majority of
New-York, wants just such teaching as Mr..
Pomeroy proposes TO give him.
The only difficulty with Mr.. PomerOy's enter
prise is, that about Dine-tenths of the Demo
cratic party cannot read. He is, therefore, very
much in the position of Goldsmith, who went
to Holland to teach English, and upon arriv-
Ing there found he could not talk Dutch, This
Is one reason for the confidential circulation of
The World, although another il that even II
the masses of the Democracy could read The
World they would not be able to understand
1t. Mr.. PomerOy will meet this difficulty by
printing abundant illustrations. We shall have
pictures of Grant in every stage OF intoxca-
ton; Of Butler a. 1.-THE Lowell Shyster"
spoon-thief" and bank robber;T OF the
gentleman Booth In all the glory OF his
patriotic virtue; and of ABE Lincoln III all
the merlted agony Of eternal punishment.
There are few Democrats 10 ignorant tlt.t they
cannot understand picture and by ths means
the Wickedest Editor In America viii succeed
