TUESDAY. JANUARY 30, 1872.
Democratic Policy.

Three policies are urged by leading
Democrats One class propose an entire
passive policy, making no nomination
themselves but quietly voting for the
candidate Of the anti-Grant Republicans.
Another element urges rabid partisan
policy suffering defeat maniully if neces-
sary at all. A third element proposes
concessions 10 ant.Grant Republicans
which will result in consolidation and the
virtual formation Of a new party. Their
theory and practice hardly agree. OF
this coalition Of things the Springfield
RepuJlicau well says: Theoretically,
the democrats OF the country seem to be
against the passive" policy so strongly
urged upon them from Missouri, yet prac-
tically they will be forced 10 take it, and
practically they are preparing to take 1t.
That is to say, their convention will not
be held until that OF the republicans is
past, aud its nominations will be very
much determined by those of the latter
body. II Gen. Grant is renomnated, the
Democratic convention will unquestiona-
bly, make great effort to put itself IN
sympathy with the anti-Grant republic
cans, and present such platform and
su,h u ticket as will seduce as many as
possible of them to their support.
But their danger is that they will fail
to 20 ar enough to make any decided
impression upon the Republican party, or
to revolutionizc the country. Only a
small proportion of their leaders as yet
have full perception of the opportunity
and the bolduess to seize it. 1t will not
be enough to simply pick up the ragged
edges Of the republican party they must
in order to make their movement effective,
fairly break into its center, and seize its
body.guard and reserves They must
in fact, so resolve and SO nominate as to
revolutionze both parties, to force SINH
lar results, now, to those that would have
been effected by Judge Chaso's nomina-
ton in 1868.
Neither Groesbeck nor Gratz Brown
worthy men as they are, will prove potent
enough for this service; nor, indeed
would Charles Francis Adams now seem
n sufficient solvent ofrepublican partisan
ship. Neither Of these names is such a
departure 10 itself or would create such
departure in politics. as that Of Judge
Chase would have done three years ago
Trumbul or Sumner would answer more
-~--i, - .h~ Choea nomination in 1865
Such selection as either of these men &c
run against Grant would b. something
worthy OF the country's grave attention
and be quite sure 10 command the dis
ruption and the reorganization ofpoitica
parties.
But for such forward movement a
this, the democracy at present show nj
signs that they are prepared, or tina
they will be even if June bring. thu
opportunity in Gen. Grants renomna
ton by the republican convention. Tn
most promising field yet offered for re
form is in the republican party. There
at present, the reform spirit is the strong
est; the moral inspiration the deepes
and the hope of success tn, most iuvit
ing.
