PRONUNCIAMIENTO OF THE DEMO
CRATIC PARTY.

From the NJ o. Republican.
The last public declaration of the Demo-
cratic party, signed by members of Congress,
is most extraordinary one, all things con-
sidered. In the first place it is extraordinary
because it is addressed 'to our fellow citizens
of the United States, friends of constitutional,
economical and honest government" This is
very remarkable inasmuch as the history of
the Democratic party for the last ten years
has been in opposition to the best interests of
''our fellow citizens of the United States who
desire a constitutional economical and
honest government" That thus is the case.
and that "our fellow-citizens of the United
States" have so regarded the acts of the De-
mocratic party, is most clearly demonstrated
by the fact that that party has been shorn
of all political power by the people since
the memorable year of 1860, when it allowed
the enemies of constitutional, economical,
and honest government to plot and attempt
its destruction. Though the Democrats were
then in power, we will not now attempt to deny
that up to the time of Mr.. Lincoln first elec-
tion to the Presidency we had constitutional
economical, and honest Governments; nor do
we believe the Democrats will be disposed to
gainsay this, though now, by implication
they deny it and assert that we have ''re-
volutionary, extrayagant, and wasteful parti-
san rule" And why do they say this?
Simply because important elections take
place this year that will determine the COM
plexion of the next Congress, and their oo-
ject is to get possession of that branch of the
Government and pave the way to possession
of the entire Government in the next Presi-
Dental election.
Considering what this country has passed
through during the last ten years to preserve
its integrity and the liberties of the people,
the question of who shall control the Coy
ernment is still most important one There
is nothing in the history of the Democratic
party the past ten years that has received the
sanction of the people of this country; on the
contrary, its course has been antagonistic to
the popular will and interest in all matters
of legislation growing out of the late war,
and if it has policy it is one that it dare not
yet give utterance to, as it is undoubtedly in
opposition to all of those great measures aud
principles OF government adopted by the
people since the termination of the war, and
held by them to be permanently settled. AS
the Democratic party opposed tho pro osecution
of the war to a successful termination on
the part of the Government, so it now op-
poses all of those measures that have been

THE DESTINY OF CANADA.
Form. the N. Y. Herald.

rCTTH Hle NJ H. Herald.
The very interesting and exhaustive article
we published on Wednesday, in the form of
communication from our correspondent at
Montreal, on thesubject of Canadian independ-
ence and annexation, points out the inevita-
bic destiny of Canada, as we'll as of all the
colonial possessions of Great Britain on this
continent. 1t appears that, in addition to
other agencies and movements which have
been at work more or less for half century
to annex Canada to the United States, and the
fires of which are still burning silently, new
movement has been organized, with the appro-
pirate title of the Union League" that may
exercise powerful influence on the question.
From the details of this organization, as far as
they are given, we think the ''Union League"
may become the most compact as well as the
most extensive political body that ever existed
in the colonies. The Canadians understand
working in this way. The great movement
for independence in Canada, with a view to
annexation afterwards, thirty years ago. when
Papineau was the prominent leader, and when
so many Americans as we'll as Canadians were
convicted and transported to the penal settle
ments in Australia, was intimately connected
with similar secret political organization on
both sides of the border. This, however, APP
pears to be dlscreetly worked up for the pur-
pose of bringing about the Independence and
annexation of Canada by moral power or in-

Trial by Jury and Cards.

A New Orleans jury, unable to arrive
at unanimity in their opinions, is said to
have substituted chance for justice. The
case was Clay vs.. Blandin, for the office
of State Tax Collectorship of the Third
District Eleven of them favored Blan-
din, one of the eleven, a colored citizen,
declaring that he would sit there until
his hair turned white before he would
find for Clay. But Clay's sole supporter
was equally immovable. At length it
was conceded by the latter that a game
of "seyen-dp" between him and a Blan-
din man should secure three more votes
for Clay; but if he-the Clay man-lost
it, he would yield his opinion to that of
the eleven. Cards were sent for, the
game was watched with intense interest
and when it was announced that the
Blandin eleven won, a yell of triumph
went up from their juridical throats that
shook the Courthouse and astonished
the waiting court.
