The annexed comments Of the
Detroit Post, on the distracted con-
dition Of the Democratic party, is
commended to the careful scrutiny
OF that class Of Democrats, in Ore
gon who believe that union and
harmony and principle Of the cold
Hickory stripe still cements the
party into one symmetrical whole:
The Democratic organs still con-
tinue to invent new departures.
The Washington Patriot nominates
Charles Sumner as Democratic can
didate for President The Cincin-
natl Inquirer. goes for Colonel
Scott, who was Stanton's assistant
during the war. The st. Louis
Republican, is willing to take any
body that any clique of dissatisfied
Republicans may nominate. The
Chicago Times indicates that Gov
ernor Palmer will be its choice. 1t
only remains for the Boston Post to
nominate Wendell Phillips, the
New York Horl1 to nominate
Fred. Douglass, and the Richmond
Enquirer to nominate General
Grant, to make the Democratic
new departure complete. AS for
the Democrats of Michigan, the
Free Press seems to be preparing
to nominate Boss Tweed, and
Tweed is preparing to run away.
Those who do not like this, but,
like the Democrats III other States,
are bound to run a Republican, can
so for Senator Jrumbull or Chief
Justice Chase, each Of whom has
been nominated by Democratic jour
nails heretofore.

Dispatches of the Sth inst. from
New ork, state that the Board of
i'olIce Commissioners adopted a
resolution islstr,,cting the Supcrin-
tendent ofPolice to notify the Off
GERS OF the various sc;eties of that
city, that the proposed parade of
societies on the Sunday following
would not be tolerated. They
would not permit the parade to &C.
eur on Sunday. The ,>upcril.tend-
ent was directed to arrest all pei
sons who attempted parading. We
are glad that New York has taken
this resorinatory step. Iniidel soci-
cites and others, whose cardinal
principles are at war with the sacred
and devotional observance Of the
Sabbath, SO universally recognized
as day of rest from secular labor
and of devotion to Almighty, God
by all civilized nations and colnmu-
mites, have no business to interrupt
their quiet and peacefulness and
worship OF this honored and revered
institution, by the noise and con
fusion and reyel which arc the natu-
raj concomitants OF public parades
and celebrations. There are six
days i'll which these parades can be
held, without infringing upon the
rights of any.

ton of a parent out OF existence.
We suppose this journal intended
to say that Democracy is still paren-
tai. because still III existence. We
agree with the Journal that old
father Democracy still lives; but
his i,tirmit;es are SO numerous, that
it seems impossible for him to sur
vive long. The Missouri Re1atbfi-
casa wells in the old mars deafears
to be %passive," and get we'll that
way; but that Journal might as
we'll try to make hole in water
with its fiEger, as to prevent the
childish old man from having his
departure" attacks, and every new
che weakens him all the more. He
is too old aud feeble aud childish,
and his record is too bad for him to
entertain the thoughts of ever be-
coming tie father OF q new family.
Some OF his children already be-
l;eve him to be dead aud when he
is entirely gone, and buried deep,
freedom and justice and truth will
breathe much easier.

Die iza ts.e Hast Ditch.

The Oregon City Enterprise is
down on TIE ''passiye" policy Of
the Missouri Repubiiean, like a
thousand Of brick. It says that
never since the New York World
advised the Democratic party, just
OH the eve Of the last Presidential
election, to throw one ofthe regular
nominees ofthe party overheard, has
there been $50 suicidal policy
recommended by any one outside
of a mad-house,o as the "Do nomi-
nating'' scheme Of the Republican.
We agree with the Enterprise, and
think it is most humiliating prop
osition. The Re3,eeblicasa ought to
be ashamed Of itself. The Enter
prise justly argues and proves by
analogy that tie editor of the Rep
gasJlicu5a is "either fool or mad
man." The idea of Democracy be-
coming a mere dough-man or in
diarubber-man. it's awful. Why
not determine ''to die in the last
ditch . with the good old Demo-
cratic armoron? Alas, alas! good
old Democratic armor has been long
since misplaced, lost; and the gar
ments worn nowadays in place Of
it, all claiming to be Democratic,
differ So widely in cut and charac-
ter, that it confuses one to look at
them. Democracy, like Joseph's
coat, has many colors. It is ring
streaked and striped, and the policy
of allowing some headed Re-
publican to work it into Presiden-
tial hash, will not help the matter.
Suppose the movement prevails
and it seems now as if it would
and suppose Sumner is nominated !;
would not the ghost Of Brooks rise
up and scare the Democratic part of
the amalgamation into catnip fits
with that cane with which he
pounded Sumner over the head in
the Senate i'll the days Of Democrat
ic glory? Suppose they take Fred.
Douglas to their arms, and make
him their Presidential standard
bearer-we are awfully afaid they
will-wouldn't their lonely hours
Of night, and their dreams, be filed
with innumerable ghastly forms of
martyred negroes, whom Southern
Democracy had made such !? 'Twon't
do. This passive policy has al
ready developed great many luna
tics, as the Enterprise justly thinks,
in the Democratic party. Scores
of journals in the country have ia
vored it, and it is horrible to think
of the result if they all adopt it.
stDie III the last ditch," Democracy,
die in the last ditch.
