their hands, and the latter by every
exertion of strength, endurance and
perseverance, to rescue their imprison-

not succeed, it WAS no fault of theirs.
They deserve the lasting gratitude Of
all, and will receive It.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

The Louisville Courier journal saws,
justly. that theDemocratic party OF to-
day, as compared with the past, is a
perfectly distinct organization. 1t
embraces no element of the old-line
Democracy that may not be acquesced
in By the stIrdIest oid-linc Wing. The
measures that produce the conflicts Of
the past were either deciGcd long ago,
or else they have disappeared from the
minds OF men. A wholly different
series OF issues has come upon the
country, and recognizing certain ext
gcncies of the present, il is the mission
of the Democratic party to address il
self to them. But for this it could not
combine, as it does. many OF the best
materials OF the parties. But for this
it could not represent as :t seeks to do.
the conservatism of the whole country.
which is simply consolidation OF all
peaceful elements against tie warlike
spirits OF a still progressing. revolution
airy and licenticus craving for agitation
and change.
