WASHINGTON, June 4, 1871.
Despite the attempt Of the army Of Radi-
cal otfice-holders, of high and low degree,
iii this city TO appear perfectly complaccnt
under the decisive fact that the Democratic
party. acting in the spirit which animated
the memorable Virginia Committee OF mime
(Which worked so well, and did so much
Tor their State), have heartily endorsed the
principles embraced in the "NCw Depar-
turc y policy, it yet stands out in bold reliet
that there is more fear and trembling in the
Republican wigwams than there has been
nj any time since they attained power.
The uncaSincSs is manifest more thoroughly
among the otiice-holdng faction than else
where. In fact, it needs very little Obser-
walton to attest tho truth Of the statement
that the lukewarmucSs in the Republican
ranks Is widespread, and daily increasing.
The main point--the only one just now
which the politicians here representing the
dominant party have TO offer in their at
tempt to weaken the assertions of grow
ing Democratic strength, IS, that recent
speechcS-particularly referring to those of
lr. Davis and MIR. Johnson-wlll be taken
| bv the masses as evidence that the Demo-
! cratic party will not in good faith adopt tho
principles inculcated i'll the new departure
| policy. This kind Of talk is very common,
but ii is not even tiuged with the emphasis
of confidence in their own declarations.
| There is 4 tine exhibition now of parties in
office getting in rcadinessto stride the polit-
ical lcncc, and that fact of itself is indicative
OF the impression which is working in Rad.
ical circles of the turning Of the lane.
| 1t can be gathered from the conversations
and impromptu caucuSes of their politi-
clans, that the party will rely in the next
campaign almost mainly OH reports, which
they are lying in wait for, Of combined dis
orders in the South, and for just such cX.
presSions Of sentiment from prominent gen.
tlcmen who, although they represent not
| even the fragment of any party. are yet
| pushed forward by Radical politicians Il:
speaking the views Of the powerful organ
iZation Of progressive Democracy, which /:
about to sweep from its path all opposition
The principal points upon which the
| Radical party intends to rely outside O
false statements regarding the true condt
ton of Democratic sentiment will be tht
success of the present Administration IL
the reduction Of the public debt, for whicl
Grant Of course gets the credit, though
BoutwelES friends would be inclined to de
| feat that idea but for the sentiment which i
is said fills the breast Of the Secretary o
| the Treasury, and which prevents him from
allowing the use of his name rs candl
| date.
There are, however, recent evidences tina
the combined organization" in the Re
publican party against Grants rcnomina
ton is widening in its proportions, and W.
shall soon see some very practical llluStra
tions Of the fact. TlMoN.
