Reunion Of the Northern and Southern De-
mocracy-The Party or the Future.
It was hardly within the limit Of possibility
that the democracy could triumph in the pend
ing canvass, for, in the very nature Of the case,
their position was such as to awaken the mis-
givings Of the people. They necessarily stood
before the country in an attitude of hostility to
the party that could with some show of justice
claim the conduct of the war as a portion of it's
record; and the popular intellect which gene
points, coul1 see no difference between oppo-
sition to the party Of the war and opposition
to the war itself. This was made worse by the
impenetrable stupidity Of democratic writer's
themselves confounding the same things and
arguing as If the best way to expose the follies
and blunders Of the Northern war party was to
glorify the Southern armies and dcpreciate the
courage of the national soldiers and the abili-
ties Of national generals. Thus, by the popular
view and by the coppery instinct Of its own
writers, the democratic party was at once
debarred from assuming that attitude in which
alone there was possible victory for an oppo-
sition party-the attitude, namely, Of q party
that, acknowledging and accepting the result
of the war, wages Its strife against the abuses
and shortcomings Of o political organization
corrupted by the possession of too much
power Thus debarred from that only sure
course, the democracy was from the beginning
doomed TO defeat
Certain Of the democratic leaders saw this
not the Northern ones, for they are fellows
rich in bully and braggadocio and the mean
cunning of jobbery, just in proportion as they
are poor in that true capital of party-edu-
Gated thought applied to the solution of politi-
cal problems. Northern democratic leaders
were summing mp the total Of spoils they would
gather when they won, az the bcggar of Bag
dad counted the price of the chickens that
were In his basket of eggs and while they
were thus busy the Southern leaders--the same
men who ruled our system by superior sagacty
in days gone by-were weighing the chances
of the conflict and devising the means by
| which victory was ~ he secured sooner or

but OF course were wise enough not TO give
battle, while at the same time, being alarmed
at the display Of force, they were cunning
enough to see that the hands Of the govern
ment were free to send any number Of troops
against them; and hence, with the additional
persuasions Of Father De Smet, the Indian
missionary, the treaties were brought about.
But our Commissioners committed the error
Of not debating the terms. They were too
conciliatory and liberal too prolific Of
promises, too prolx in their peace talks, too
generous Of gifts and too extravagant in their
appropriations. The Indians were led to be-
leve that we were over anxious for peace.
General Sheridan has expressed the opinion
that they began their present depredations
with the idea and hope Of forcing us TO give
more presents and make further appropriations
for their benefit in order to maintain the peace.
IL is already evident to them that they have
made mistake. II is now apparent that the
new policy which must be pursued against
them il to he one Of war, and not Cancellation.
II IL to be directed by the War and not the In
terror Department. and to be executed by
sherman and sheridan. and not the Indian
agents and traders. The Indians must he
forced back TO their reservations and kept
there. and General Sherman may accomplish
ibis before the snow falls. One thing is quite
certsin-the Western Settlers and Indians can
not live in peace in the same Territories; the
Pacific Railroad track cannot forever run
parallel with the Indian warpsth.
