A DEMOCRATIC ORGAN WANTED.
 BUT WHAT FOR? a,e

Ine democracy or thlS State, It appears, 8 re ln want of an organ-an organ that they can rally upon and rely upon in de- feat and retreat, as we'll as in victory; an organ that will stand fire and stick to it's colors and crow till everything burns blue: an organ that will expend and expound the
 'tme-honored principles of the party" with some regard to the fact that party principles which are dead and buried it is useless to dig out of the ground. Cover. nor Hof nan and some others of the dem- ocratic nabobs of our State authorities re- gently issued begging letter in behalf of Mir. Alphabet Barlow's late organ as the very thing for the democracy. not only of the State, but of the whole Continent; but the great body of the faithful. remember ing the October bolt against Seymour and Blair, are not as enthusiastic as they might be In sending in their contributions. We infer that the begging letter aforesaid has failed from the fact that the democratic members of the late Legislature have issued an opposition begging letter to revive the Albany Argus as the proper democratic or- gan for the Empire State. And yet again, It IS said that Peter B. Sweeney and some other sachems of Tammany contemplate the experiment. of new concern in this city, and upon the idea that, as without the democratic vote of this city and the spells of Tammany the party in the State would be nowhere, Tammany Hall is the rlghtful successor of the Albany Regency and ought to rule the State. ss,.,-s '. In none of these movements for @ new party organ do we hear Brick Pomeroy mentioned; and yet among the unterrified Brick is held as preaching the gospel .ac- cording to Vallandigham, and holds among the hard-headed and hard-nanded of the rank and file the balance of the power. His style as teacher, however, IS too rough and rasping for the kid-gloved magnates of the inner temple, including the elite of the Manhattan Club; and 30 they cut him. and, heads up, pass by on the other side. It is the difference be- tMeen Western whiskey in 8 home made goblet and Manhattan champagne in Bohe

In any event, the New York managers of the party, city and state, have, as by common consent, agreed that Wisconsin democracy, as expounded by Pomeroy, is to fresh and hot from the still for the longitudes between Dunkirk and Montauk, and so Brick is to be left to look after the horses. He may do the rough work of the aristocracy of the party, and he may be admitted to snack in the kitch- en; but he must not presume to bring the smell of the stable among the invited guests in the parlor. Brick understands It; but if he does not make these high and mighty turtle soup democrats sweat for 1t We shall be disappointed. 5ad9
 But what do the democracy of this State, or any State, or of the United States, want with party organ? There was time, and It Tno- two or three little coterler of party man. agers, with an organ at Washington (the Gtobe), an organ at Richmond (the Eaquir- er) and an organ at Albany (the Argus), managed the candidates of the democracy, the order of succession and the govern ment of the United States. But when this sort of government under Van B1ren had abolished specie and solvent notes, and had substituted a general circulation of wild cat and red dog paper and irresponsi- bic shinpiasters in countless millions of such rubbish, the third estate began to be shifted and was soon removed from these managing party cliques and their. organs to the independent popular press With the fearful financial revulsion of 1887, the democratic regencies were thrown upon their beam ends, and in the sweeping po- litical revolution of 1840, they were cast ashore, high and dry. From that day down to this, cliques of party managers and party organs have been steadily losing ground, and the power which they have lost, has been settled round the indepen- dent press. @ f9 'sss -2 1s-l~ e3
 The dissolution of the old wlig party after its killing defeat by poor Pierce in 1852, the collapse of the old dictatorial de- mocratic party in the disastrous Charles ton Convention of 1860, the terrible re- bellion of Jeff Davis and his experimental sla7e-holding confederacy, and the tre- mendous revolution and reconstruction which have followed, from parties and par ty platforms up to the constituti tion itselt. through all this mighty chain of grand events, the American people have m0re and more learned to think and act for themselves, and to look with contempt mp. on party directors and party journals. What, then, do the democracy of New York want with new party organf Noth- ing that such @ drivelling machine can supply. They have been dragged through the mud and mire of twelve years of dis graceful defeats by their party managers and organs, and if the party would get ups on it's legs again, it must be through the help of the independent masses of the people and the indpendsnt press.
