TIE Democracy has no other hope now
of success than dividing the Republican
party on local issues. In this they will
utterly fail, as the Republican party is uni
ted, and has principles to support, Demo-
cratic principles which our fathers took
great pride in advocating-the principles
of Jefferson and Jackson. When every
mans civil and personal rights were made
secure, and so long as these are at stake,
there can be poor hopes of the modern
leaders of Democracy to cause our forces
to scatter. The Republicans have first to
to accomplish in carrying out its projected
work, which was commenced by our fore
fathers and make this country the paradise
of the world; and not until then can those
leaders hope for aid to convey them into
office, not for the sake of principles, but
for the spoils. We agree with our cOtem-
porary the Miners Journal, that the Re-
publican party is yet young; it has not lived
long, but it has lived well; it has done n
gigantic and glorious work; it has rescued
a nation from weakness and obliteration;
it has put out the fires which traitors kim
died to destroy the fair temple of Freedom.
1t has given new life to the friends of Free
Government in all the lands of the Garth.
England heeds the warning, and gives
Ireland new concession in the interest
of religious freedom. Napoleon hastcns to
grant the people larger share in the gov
ernment of the Empire. SPAN cuts adritt
its imperious, sensual and imbecilc Bour-
bons; and struggling Cuba earnestly de-
mands her independence. In every laud
| of the earth, the influence of the Republi-
can rarty ofthe United States is acknow-
lodged. Struggling humanity feels that in
fluencc as q lifc-giving inspiration, and ty-
rants and oppressors read with terror the
warning written by its hand on the walls
ofall their banquetting chambers. 1t in
creases justly every mans self respect to
reflect that he belongs to such n party; il
will be one of the consultations of a good
mans death to look back ON his connec-
! ton with party having its record; and a
| legacy ofno mean value for man to leave
his children that he was partakcr in its
labors and warfare, and was sharcr in
its triumphs for humanity.

TIE DEMOCRACY.

When the Democratic party started up
on its career, it had the cooperation, and
sympathy, of not only the laboring masses,
but of the most intellectual minds in the
country. They advocated popular form
of government, frequent elections, lber-
al terms of naturalization and warm at
tachment to national union. The present
leaders of that party have, however proved
themselves rccreant to all these principles
except to the foreign population, which
have formed the bulk of their support, and
to-day the party stands without any fixed
principles, and like castle upon the desert
ready to fall to pieces, struggling to avert
its impending doom with a desperation
which impels parties as well as human be-
ings to cling to life. Were the fathers of
the old Democratic party now in existence
they would no doubt be Republican-the
true Democratic party of the country. Ger
tainly there is no inducement for any good
citizen to be attached to the modern Demo-
cracy. They have forsakcn the true prin-
ciples and now the leaders care nothing for
piliIlpSS, put iiC uSlbS SNcIS StlalSSy
to keep together enough to elect themto Of
fee, when they desire them.
Modern Democracy is destitute of any
moral principles. In Indiana and Ken
lucky it recommends itself to the support
ofthe negotiating clement by opposing
the Fifteenth Amendment; in Virginia
and Tennessee it supports the Amend
ment, invites negro orators to its platforms,
and elects them to Congress and the State
Legislature. In the North it asks support
because it hates the negro; in the South it
asks votes because it loves the negro and
promises to be his friend and protector.
In this State it nominates a millionaire,
destitute of any powers of craftsmanship,
because he can give his check for cool
hundred thousand to help in the canvass.
In Ohio it nominated Il fighting General
who subsequently saved his reputation by
declining ng-who hated and denounced with
great bitterness all such men as figure at
the head of the party in this State. In
the West it is fierce for taxing bonds and
more than hints at reputation of both
principle and interest of the public debt.
In the East it is in the special charge of
brokers, stock-gamblers and bond-holdcrs.
Can any good honest citizen, actuated by
principle, support such party?

COAL TRADE.-The .Ninors Joural OF

The trade is dull caused by purchasers
abroad holding OF in hope that prices will
be lower as the seasonadvancCs. The hope
we believe to be futile. With the difficult
ties in the LchiSh Region and the continu-
ed inactivity Of the Lackawanna cOmpa-
nies, with no immediate prospect of rcsum-
ing, the supply ofthe season with its natu-
raj increase, promises to be curtailcd. The
best plan for dealers abroad to adopt is to
lay in their supplies at once, for if by hold
ing of they greatly limit the supply the
market will require, prices must inevitably
reach a higher figure than they have yet
attained. Papers abroad which are pro.
foundly Ignorant ofthc trade, may counsel
n different course, but we believe that pur-
chascrs will 6e wise by adopting our advice

SUPREME COURT REsIGNATIoN.--It is
understood that Justice Robert G. Grier,
of Pennsylvania, one of the Justices of the
Supreme Court of the United States. is
about to send in his resignation. He is
seventy-fve years of age, and though his
mental faculties are not much impaired,
he has become physically enfeebled so as
to be incapacitated for discharging the
high functions of the office. Agreeably to
wise act of Congress, which became a
law last year, all Judges of the National
Court on arriving at the age of seventy,
can retire, and the salary, six thousand a
year, continued to them during life. Judge
Nelson, it is supposed, will probably soon

WHAT Is SAID or THE CHINESE. The
Baltimore Sun epitomizes what Spanish
Minister to Pekin says of the Chinese, as
follows:
In Cuba some hundreds of the Chinese
have got few thousand dollars capital +;
five or six about $500, 600, and one is worth
100000, though ii is only few years
since the Chinese colonizations began. In
In the Philippine Islands, where it is older,
the Chinese and their race are mixed they
are proprietors of most of the lands in the
country, and the natives, less intelligent,
sinking into the working population. The
Chinese usually marry when and where
they can find wives. In the East Indies
they have intermarricd with the Maays
and the Tagals, and in the Sandwich
Islands they wed with the Kanakas, though
the latter are proieSsed Christians. In
Peru they are settling in considerable
numbers, and well were it for the State of
South America if the Chinese would come
with their industry and love of order If
they find their way into the Southern states,
either the negroes will have toquit work or
become more capable and industrious.
