THE YOUNG DEMOCRACY OF NEW YORK
AND THE TAaMANY sACHEMs.

With the beginning of the new year the
Dem ocracy of New York came into posses
sion Of the entire State government, IRON
the chief executive to every appoinuVe
office At that time we stated that New
York exerts an influence over the national
sen,iment such as no other State in the
Union, and the people outside of New York
will watch with uncommon solicitude the
use made of their newly acquired power. If
these rulers use their power for local and
personal advantage, public disappointment
and disapprobation will certainly follow"
Less than three months have proven our
prediction true. The Democracy of the
country have for years borne the odium and
sneers of Republicans in regard to the cor
ruptiops in the city Of New York, and they
confidently expected that with the
entire management given into the
hands of Democrats these corrup-
lions in the government of New York
city, in ell of its branches, and in the State
Legislature would be wiped out. But in
stead, the old Tsmmsny Sachems, or the
Ring, as they are better known, are showing
themselves worse thieve than the most &C.
com plished Radicals u. Washington, and
BY their system of plundering are not only
bringing disgrace upon the New York
Democracy, but are having most disaster
GUS effect upon the Democracy OF the entire
country and when we find the young Dem
oeracy of the State, ably backed up by the
New York World, giving these old thievs
a hand to hand fight with the same deter
miuation that they fight Radical thieving
and corruptions, we cannot but say with the
great mass of rightly thinking Democrats of
the entire west, down with corruption, with
piundering Rings wherever found.
This is no local quarrel between trading
politicians local Rings, but, in
view of the influence upon the entire ma
tional sentiment, it becomes matter of in.
terest to the great body of Democrats in
other States, who in every way stand ready
to encourage the young Democracy Of New
York, 10 mark war 20 the knife, and never
yield until they shall establish that grand
Democratic principle-the right of the PEG
pie to manage their own affairs. Let the
Democrats OF New York well considered the
importance of the work they have under
taken and not rest until it is accomplished
Space will not permit US to enter into the de-
tails of what the young Democracy aretrying
to accomplish, but it may be summed up IL
these words, ''the honest results from ar
honest ballot box" They have to deal with
On enemy most unscrupulous, powerful
dishonest and treacherous, bat we hope they
will not finch from the duty they owe tt
themselves, to New York, and TO every
State in the Union. What will it avail the
Democracy TO cry out against Padios
thieving and corruption when the State O.
New York, under Democratic rule, is gov
erned BY G ring 80 corrupt as put to blush
even the worst Radical cadetship broker ?
Hence our interest in this fight which day
by day is growing brighter for the Reform

ROME AND THE GovERNMENTs.-At ele-
gram from Berlin says that Nj. Theirs had
written to the Pope informing him that he
had advocated his canse at the Courts he
visited on his late diplomatic journey, and
that the courts were ready favorably to
consider his case. Whatever may be the
actual truth of the statement lin high pO-
litical quarters movements are necessarily
slow) by the intelligence which reaches us
from Rome, we believe that the Govern
ments of Europe refuse to recognize the
usurpation of Visitor Emmanuel. A letter
in the Journal de Brurelies says that very
serious remonstrances have been made by
several of tho Powers to the Cabinet of the
Italian King. Austria and Bavaria have
already protested; Prussia has also pro-
tested even more theoretically than they,
and has given the Italians to understand
that, on behalf of the German Catholics,
she means to have a voice in the European
Congress, or by whatever agency the rights
OF the Sovereign Pontiff are to be regulated,
and that she will take care that the re-
ligious interests of SO considerable a por-
ton of her people suffer no pref udice. ALL
such declarations have, it is needless TO
observe, an important bearing on the sub
ject of the Pope's restoration. A writer in
u UniUers says, az make the statement
with mn gled grief and admiration, the
principal movement in behalf of the Roman
restoration comes from Germany, from
those very people who are making such a
bitter war against US. Aud yet France
was the country towards which the Pope
had shown SO many preferences. What do
we do in return We take as our com !.
rade in arms the miserable braggart who
described the Papacy as the cancer
of Italy" We learn from the continent
that In Germany an energetic movement
has been set on foot in favor of the Holy
See, and a collective and personal applica-
ton (demarche) by the German Episcopate
to the King of Prussia has been decided on.
And an article in the Norddeutscher Zeitung,
non Catholic paper and the semi official or
gan of Count Bismarck, gives US reason for
believing that it will be tavorably received.
The article says: The GaSetta OfiSiale
publishes decree by which the City of
Rome and the Pontifical States are declared
integral parts of Italy. A Geographic dis
patch adds that the arrangements by which
the free exercise of his spiritual authority
will be secured to the Pope will be fixed
by legislation, that is to say, by arbitrary
decisions passed by the Government and
legislature of the Italian Kingdom. Bat it
must be observed here that decision
about what the Catholic Church and It's
visible Head recognize as sufficient securi-
ties for abe free exercise of the Pope's
spiritual authority, is a Watter that cannot
possibly be regarded as purely internal to
any Catholic State. The Holy Father has
been firm hitherto in his protest against
the acts of the Italian Government.
