treme and bitter radicalism. We, at
least of the South, cannot with wisdom
essay new party. Let wise, moderate
and progressive Democracy be put be-
fore the country. Here we stand--others
stand elsewhere. Let the country Judge

following item from the New York Neps:
RECONSTRUCTION OF PARTIES
is manifest tendency to the reconstruc.
ton of parties. A division among the
Republicans, which has been growing
wider and wider since the beginning of
the present session Of Congress, and has
now reached the point of permanent Sc
paration of the moderate Republicans
from the extreme radicals, has prepared
the way for a coalition between the for
mer and the Democracy, which may, and
doubtless will, be effected without any
compromise OF principle. Indications
of this tendency are apparent every.
where, and are very significantly embo-
died in the following resolution, passed
by the State Democratic Committee of
Connecticut, on the 18th ult.
"Resoloed, That all the electors of this
State, without regard to past political
differences, who are in favor of the rights
of the States, the Constitution and the
Union, who are opposed to the central
izing doctrines of the p.rty now in
power, and who agree with that Republi-
can organ, the New York Eoening Posi-,
that we cannot serve the Union by per-
petuating diennion, are cordially invited
to act with the Democratic party in the
present canvass"

most important points this week.

meut of the same, a prompt payment OF
every debt Of The nation, reduction OF

the county will admit, the reduction OF
the taxation TO be so arranged as to afford
the greatest relief to The greater number,

that State, knowing this rebel element
too well, were in favor of their remaining
on the back seat while longer, but the
democrats andvery sympathetic, humans
tartan republicans united and carried the
election.
The democratic press, and among
them, the OXFORD Register, is devoting
much time and space to show that the
republican party is falling to pieces aud
that the RereAwe RcfoY1RerS are bound to
succeed. Yet they evidently distrust this
new movement. They would like to
have an entering wedge to split the re-
publican party inserted. but they don't
wish 10 9 their fingers too near the cleft
pieces for fear of crash!
For instance. the Register in its last
issue, attacks that old sound democratic
organ, the World, aud calls it all sorts OF
names, for coming out in favor of The
NEW PARTY, and saving it will sweep the
West in 1872. The trouble with the
Register seems to be, il wants 10 see the
old democratic party succeed, and not a
new reform party. 1t is old .togyish. with
its supcranuated editor, and don't want
the old things to pass away, any more
than it desired TO see the old hunkers OF
the party >hullled of the political stage to
give way to the young democracy, in its
State Convention last Summer!
But it Is of no use to resist. Anything
for success" will bring them TO it.

AN UNCERTAIN LAw.-We publish on the
outside Of to-day's paper an act in relation to
the Treasurer paying certain outstanding
warrants against the county. 1t has passed
both branches Of the Legislature and is in the
Governors hands. 1t is intended by this Act
to apply the unappropriated money in the
treasury to the payment Of General Fund
Warrants. but from the manner in which it is
worded, there is question as to what war
rants are to be paid, as there are several funds
upon which they are drawn, and this bill re-
quires the payment of warrants in general
terms against Tuolumne County, without
specifying what kind or upon what fund
drawn. Under it, Current Expense Warrants
may be paid with as much prepriety as those
drawn upon the General Fund. If the copy
of the bill furnished us be correct, it is GER
ta;nly obscure and indefinite, and may fail to
svoid litigation before any appropriation of
money is made.
