THE New York HERALD's VIEws.-lh
New York Herald of Saturday has leading
political article, from which we make the
following extract with reference to the " dead
Democracy" 1t says:
ut is utterly impossible to revive the
the dead democracy, and it has alre ldy been
clearly demonstrated that the liberal coalition
is a failure. Ii can never again make so
respectable a show even as it has made in the
recent canvass. If a national convention
should ever again assemble who are to be Its
leaders and its shining lights? Clearly not the
men who deserted the camp and carried over
their cOlOrs to the enemy. The Bourbon
element which remained true to copperhead
doctrines and pinned its faith to OConor.
would insist upon being regarded as the only
genuine democracy. AS It's numbers are too
small to command control of the Convention,
while, as has been shown, amply large enough
for mischief and az it would refuse to follow
Hoffman, Tildcn, Hendricks or any OF the
promoters of the Greeley movement as reso-
lutely as it refused to swallow Mr. Greeley
himself, the parry would be troken and scat
tared IN a future campaign even more dI>aS-
trously than il has been broken aud scattered
| in the battle which has just been fought. The
| liberal party as the Cincinnati COnventlonlSts
call themselves, would Oe equally p0werles+ in
a future national c0nventOn Its standard
bearer has already deserted the platform upon
which he stood for temporary purposes alnnc,
and it's members are embttered against the
democrats for their failure 10 give an efficient
support to its Pre~idrnra ticket. Does it
expect that it could ever again induce demo
Gratis To repeat the farce OF 1872! What
strength has il now got in or out of Congress
to compare with thai it boa-ted last May
| With almost every one of its leader consigned
to private life, can it ever again offer 4 single
lndncement TO any party To- suffer it TO take the
cad in popu ar contest.
