Democracy Taking = New Departure.

From the Cleveland Herald.
The Plain Dealer announces,-what
we all knew beiore-that in 1861 a
large number Of Democrats conceived it
to be their duty to abandon the Dem
ocratic organization and join the Union
party, then organized for the avowed
purpose OF restoring the Union" That
paper admits that large majority Of
the number who then left the Demo
cracy still stay away, but asserts that
many old "ENar Democrats" and Con
servatives are anxious 10 resume con
nection with the Democratic party, and
TO accomplish that enc, the p. -. un-
derstands that q correspondence has
been entered into, having III view a con-
ference between some OF the War Dem
ocrats and the ieadir 6 Democrats of this
State.
As KEY note 10 q new departure for
the Democracy, tne Plain Dealer avOws
that 1.-The old Issues of the rebellion
the question of negro suffrage and other
matters-are now settled, and our
political battles in the future are TO he
waged upon new issues, PARTICULARLY
upon the questions Of finance and
tariff
This is another attempt - get the
Democratic party upon loyal ground.
These efforts always succeed admirably
In advance o: conventions, but when
the Democracy gather i'll cOnciave, the
traitor sympathiZers take the reinS AND
drive the Democratic coach to the devil.
The effort now making is, We imagine,
not between former Democrats now
within the Republican organization and
Democrts who retain their party fealty,
but it is the old story of the minority
in the Democratic ranks, who know
that the only salvation for the Demo-
cratic party is by forcing its present
managers to the rear, by accepting the
situation, by grasping live issues, and
by making an effort 10 win over to that
party the negro vote. That is wins the
pretended new movement IS; it is the
application OF the "movement cure, 5"
by which health and vigoF may lie
restored TO the Democratic party. It
comes from within its own organization,
and is another spaSmodic effort to stuff
off the dead flesh hat weighs down the
party. The effort, however, cannot
prove successful until the present gen
Grafton OF Democratic traitors and rebel
sympathizers. and negro haters, either
voluntarily surrender conti"l of the
party, or pass off the stage of politics.
