paper "publicly advises Democrats to press
"seryative Republicans like Trumbull and
"Fessenden, and to promise him the support
"of the Democracy for his administration"
"The support of the Democracy" is only a
figure of speech for the support of the Blair
family. The mention of Fessenden and Irum-
bull as the two gentlemen who are to harmon
ize and consolidate the new Administration, to
bring Mr. Wendell Phillips and Mr.. Nallandig-
ham. Mr. Sumner and Mr.. Garrett Davis, together
around the national freside, is quiet piece OF
irony The offer of the Support OF the Demo
cratic party to President Grant If he VIII only
bow down and worship the Blars is Only
eaualled by an offer Of similar character
which we find recorded in sacred history. PrO-
fame history gives an interesting Illustration.
When Andrew johnson became President he
was welcomed by the Blairs and the Washington
Politicians, who brought him assurances OF the
Support" OF the Democratic party, called HIM Il
"second Jackson" promised him unanimous re-
nomination. and iourneyed to Philadelphia to in
dorse him. They so preyed upon the vanity ana
the ambition of the poor man that they dragged
him over the country like a travelling circus. NO
man ever demeaned himself more than Presl-
dent johnson No man ever kept bargain
with more sincerity; and if any President ever
deserved the Support of the Democracy" Mr..
johnson did, in return for his ''support" OF tho
Blair family But the Convention met, and in
stead of receiving the Kingdoms of the world
"and the glory of Them" the cOniiding second
Jackson was curttly dismissed with sort OF
cold, sliyeIing, cOntempuous support, and the
honors were divided between the unpopular
Seymour and a hungry Blair.
Mr.. JohnsOn's difficulty was that he sold out
too cheaply. He really imagined that these men
had "plnciples.' They only wanted bread and
butter. If President Grant wants to buy
the Blair family and the Democratic party
combined, with the Rebel army thrown in, he
can do it with one custOm-hOuse and twenty
post offices and they will support" him, even
if he transccnds in his policy the extreme doc
trines of Mr. Wendell Phillips. The cheapest
articles in the political market to-day are the
Washington politicians - and the cheapest
Of the lot are the members Of the House OF
Blair. If Grant thinks they are worth purchas-
ing, there can be no objection to his making the
trade. We only trust he will take warning
from President Johnson, and, instead OF buying
dearly, take the gang at the lowest figure
This, after due dickcring, he will find to be
extremely small
