the Denmark Of Northern Democracy We
present one additional fact to the thous-
anls which are daily obtruding themselves
upon public notice. A few weeks ago We
took up one Of our exchanges, the Law
renee. Massachusetts. Sentinel. a profess
cdly Democratic paper, one Of purely
northern type, aud in its editorial columns
VIC read fulsomc eulogy Of Salmon p.
Chase, rs the mex, Democratic candidate
for the Presidency, in ls72. 1t was ur-
gcd in the Sentinel, in support Of the
claims Of Mr.. Chase to the favorable con-
sidcration Of the Democratic party. tina,
he was one Of the earlies, agitators Of sla-
very, and the Ajax Of the Lincoln Admin
istration, on whose broad shoulders that
Administration leaned more than upon
any other, and tina, i, was Mr.. Chase who
gave to the emancipation proclamation Of
President Lincoln its finishing touches,
that proclamation by which great nation
al robbery was pcrprtrated Mr.. Lincoln
had long been urged to ,ha. act by the
hnrpies Of Northern fana,icism, but he fall
tered and hesitatei, until Salmon p Chase
ncrved his arm and guided lis pen to do
the deed. And this man is urged as a
proper candidate Of the Democratic party
in 1872! Can the mind conceive Of q
condition Of deeper political degradation
than this: Can plummct sound the depth
of deeper debasemcnt We think not.
And these are the new departure" Dem
ocrats who assume TO lead the Democratic
party Of the year Of grace 1871, and whom
we, Of the Middle States. are expected
TO follow. We reject their leadership,
spi. upon their ''ncw departure" dospisc
that political debauchery which would
prompt them to coin their souls for
drachms and sell their birth-right for a
mess Of po,,agc. The spols Of office are
all they want They care not groat for
principle and would bctray their party
With the same readiness that Judas be-
trayed his master. What fellowship can
honorable men have with political bawds
like these? lie, them depart" il they

purely white basis. For JciTersonian and
Jacksouian Democrats to act in harmony
with men who hold not single principle
in common with them, is simply impossi-
bic. Let the North make its nominations
upon its new departure platform. and
let it ignore tho existence Of older Demo-
cratic principle in other sections Of the
Union, and il will either have to elect its
ticket by its own Inherent strength, or
submit to ignomnious defeat. The true
Democracy of the Middle and Southern
States will have nothing to do with them,
and they nigh, as we'll understand i. a,

are determined to foist this new depart
grc" upon the party. lie, us be equally
determined that We will not follow where
they lead. The responsibility Of throwing
this apple Of discord into the Democratic
party is with them; and with them also
will be the responsibility Of any sntoward
result. No Democrat, worthy of the
