The ''new departure" is not popular among
the German Democrats in Ohio. Indeed, the

Republican candidates. The New York

rhs Nov Yerk Bulletin speaks of the bust.

The New York Bulletin speaks Of the BUSH
ross outlook as follows "The second half
of the year opens with a more encouraging
lprospect for holders of goods, and the belief
is pretty general that before the close of 1871
business will have assumed healthier tone.
Since the first of January values have been
| gradually shrinking, and this has discouraged
buyers from operating to an extent exceeding
their most positive necessities, but appear
ances now seem to indicate that prices have
reached nearly the lowest points, and that in
vestments to a moderate extent are compare
lively safe. Provisions are somewhat slow
and doubtful as yet, but present holders are
not greatly inclined to yield, while all the
other leading staples, such as cotton, bread
stuffs, tobacco, ETC., are moving fairly and at
steady range of quotations, with occasion
ally some gain for the selling interest For
eign goods are also improving both in price
and activity, and as the long period of dull
ness has undoubtedly left the interior dealers
with greatly reduced supplies, a comparative
ly free distribution is looked for, especially
on the leading grades of groceries. 1t is not
improbable that the warm weather of the next
two months may have a tendency to check
operations to some extent, but this is expect
ed and discounted by the trade in general,
and will not be likely greatly to affect the posi-
ton except in a temporary way. The aggregate
of supplies available, both for domestic and
foreign, is fair and well assorted, though cot
the recent count of stocks hardly reaching
the figures Of previous estimates"

SFNA TOR NORTON ON TIE NEW
DEPARTING

A reporter of the New York Herald recent
ly interviewed Senator Morton, and gives tn,
following as the result of the conversation
upon the new departure
| "Whatdo you think of the new departure?
| asked.
"It is the beginning of the end"
END of what?"
'.Of the democracy"
The Senator said this with great seriousness
| and deliberation, and he looked at me with
some surprise as smiled ineredulously.
''Yeu think it will break them up?" said
81 do The democrats, that is, the masses
of them, won't stand it, They are not going
to stultify themselves by turning around and
accepting all of sudden that which they have
made bitter fight against for ten years. But
even supposing the Northern democracy did
do it, the Southern democrats have no idea OF
doing it,"
ats rather against them?''
Eyes, l should think it was. It's the most
bitter pill they have been called upon to swal-
low yet. 1t is worse than the Ku Klux bill
or any of the other measures about which so
much complaint has been made. The history
Of parties in this country shows that whenever
a peTty has attempted anything like what
some of the leaders of the democracy now
propose, it has gone to pieces. Take the old
whig party. In 1852 they attempted to get
upon the democratic platform and to outbid
the democracy in catering to the slave power.
What was the result? Their candidate for
the Presidency was beaten, and they were
never heard Of as a party Afterwards"
''Do you think the democratic leaders are
sincere in this new DEPARTURE"
ono, do not. All they want is to get into
power. They are hungry, and they are will
ing to do anything to succeed in obtaining
control of the government You cannot
make me believe that men who opposed the
war as bitterly as Vallandingham and that
class of men did are willing to accept the sit
uation. II they do it is because they see there
is no hope of getting into power in any other
way"
None whatever. The democratic pro-
gramme is too thin to deceive anybody in the
republican party. We understand it. You
can't maintain party without some common
moral sentiment or principle to keep it to-
gether. This new departure does not propose
anything except TO jump upon the republican
platform and to ask the people to place the
democratic party in power because it has
abandoned its own principles and stolen those
of somebody else. That's the whole of it.
Now, you can't rally party on that. The
old wing party died in the attempt"
