in fact, pretty much as member OF the genus

naturally feel some misgivings as TO the strange
bedfellows with which they may be called TO lie
down upon the platform OF the double-headed con-
vention, and seek to anoint Themselves SO
thoroughly in advance as to prevent all danger OF

turers in this new enterprise very carefully guard
ing themselves with the JUNCTION OF republicauiSn

along been sanguine OF success. The indications
are that 1t win be the largest national convention

refer to the leaders Of the new movement save in
terms OF reprOach, and continually accuse them Of
being governed by selfish purposes rather than
principle. They seem determined to drive out OF
the party those whom 1t might be wise policy to
concilate. The liberal movement Will rather gain
than lose by vigorous application OF the party
whip.

CHICAGO, April %, 1872.
The Cincinnati epidemic seems not to have spread
much during the past few days. The democrats
threaten to non-conform and to nominate sepa-
rate ticket. The Times Of this morning says :-"At
the present time it cannot be truly said that the
democratic party is dead. 1t is very sick; there is
hardly hope Of its recovery; and yet, Ike the VIC
tim of consumption, It may kick TIE bucket
within q month, it may linger on Ior
years. Whether death shall kindly put an
end to It's suferings sooner or later will
depend on the doctors. II is perfectly evident
to every intelligent observer Of facts that the
democratic party will not die of any prescription
which Doctors Schurz, Greeley Trumbu, Upton
ct al may choose to administer. 1t is tough and
uncommOny obstinate patient. 1t has very decided
preferences and preiudces concerning the arrange
ments for its funeral and unless the Cincinnati
doctors give due consideration and weight to this
unavoidable fact they will be certain to make
fatal mistake and instead of achieving the death OF
the democratic party, will reanimate this dying, but
not quite dead, democratic party, and give 1t new
lease Of life by causing 1t to continue the exercise
OF its organic functiOns.n
