THE New YORK HERALD ON THE NOMINAL
TloNs.-The Herald will soon get over the
correct feeling and truthfulness which gave
rise to the following paragraph, but it is en-
titled to credit for what it says during its lu-
cid intervals;
We can give no countenance to this retro
grade movement of the Democratic party
The successful movements of the age are pro-
gressive, and we must go with them. All the
world is going forward except the Democrat
c party. 1t is behind Austria, Russia Tur-
key and China; for they all recognize the
necessity of shaping their policy 10 the
pressure OF living events. Seymour is behind
tn age, and Blair, as a soldier, pinned TO
his ticket makes mockery of the combina-
ton. Grant and Colfax against such a
ticket will sweep the country from the Attain
tic to the Pacific, because the blockheads of
the Democratic party will have it that we
are still living under the regime of poor
Pierce and Buchanan.

A SPECIMEN CoPPERHEAD.-We notice that
the Democrats Of this State, not content with
presenting the gentleman from Kingfield a
third time as a candidate for Governor, have
also retained on their State Committee as chair
man Paul S. Merrill of Piscataquis county.
AT the risk of finding ourselves arraigned for
personal vituperation" we venture to reprint
a certain little epistle written by this ST. Paul
of the Democracy in 1861
SHIRLEY, January 28, 1861.
DEAR SIR,-You ask about the Republican
times, if they suit.me. AS to that, the times
are of their own making When we plainly
stated to them in every speech that the tri-
umph Of their principles would lead to dis
solution OF the Union, they laughed at us and
tauntingly replied that the South could notbe
driven from the Union, and now when the
South ask for permission to peaceably retire
from the Union, every Republican Governor
and legislature is rendering the resources of
their States in men and money to cOerce q few
Sontherners and their niggers to stay in the
Union.
Damn EN-. When the Republican army
march to South Carolina mag they be met en-
mosse by the Whole South and hare a Southern
,oelcOme.
| have no patience in the matter-if the
Union is worth keeping, it is worth preserving,
even at the sacrifice of cherished Northern
principles. p. S. MERRILL
Here is a letter tbs authenticity of which
has never been denied. The writer is the man
to whom the Democracy have entrusted the
organization of their forces to meet the party
of liberty, justice and equal rights 1t is for
telling the truth about such men that q morn
contemporary threatens to treat us as social
and political brutes." Very well, we shall try
to endure the infiction, replying only in
Shakspearian phrase, Et tn, Brute, without the
Interrogation point.
