THE q DEMOCRATS

Hogarth has rendered himself immortal
by picturing, in graphic cartoons, the pro-
gress of Rake, from honor to infamy and
that Of an unfortunate female, from virtue,
to ruin and rags. There is such a thing
in politics as the progress Of a great party
Of principles, downward. in the path of ex-
pediency, from power and glory to de-
moralization, shame and utter disgrace.
And such has been the career of the De-
mocracy of this nation, and of our own
Commonwealth. aas.a.4e ...
True they have an eXcuse-that old one
Of our most ancient father The woman
beguiled me.o The seductive and fallen
Eve, in their case, was the old Wing party.
The ~strictest sect of the Democracy were
always those Of Virginia, and here their fall
has been greatest. From times long past,
the Wings of Virginia have been without
principles of political action, and the mercst
creatures of expediency. To the Whigparty
did the confding people of Virginia entrust
the fate of our State in 1861. In February
of that year they elected a convention to
pass upon the question of secession; elect
ing q body instructed two to one against Sc
ceding. But that convention, thus COM
posed and thus instructed, took the State
out of the Union, and embarked it in the
mad enterprise of secession. That apostacy
from the old Wing creed that violation Of
the popular trust that crime against con-
science principles, and plighted faith, has
been the Lfad Of our woes. The conse-
quences were not merely the physical ruin
and destruction which this fearful Wing
crime brought upon the State; but the utter
generalization which that wanton act of
political profigacy has entailcd upon the
politics of Virginia.
After such an apostacy, the Wings of
Virginia have never been able to pretend to
the possession of any principles. They
treat politics as a game. They resolve
themselves into professional gamblers in
politics. TO Via is the single end and aim
of their efforts and Vaccinations. The
Democrats have some old rusty ideas
about constitutional government left to
contend for; and they give a decrepid and
lettering support to those ideas. But the
Wings pooh-pooh the senile dwellings of
their partners in politics, and crowd them
along despite their protests and misgivings
IN whatever movement they make for sue
cess and power.
In 1869, the Wings 6ullied the Democrats
into their measures. They made them vote
almost to a man for the hated "Under-

In is argued by the Democrats that the
Republican party is breaking up because a
few men of easy virtue are forsaking it,
and that the success of the Democracy is
assured because these men have gone over
to the supporto of Greeley. We are told by
them that these menof easy virtue are OF
more Importance to a political party than at
first glance they SEEM" So they may be
to the Democracy, but the Republicans are
only too glad to be rid of them by their
joining the party of corruption, to which
they naturally belong and which they APP
propriately grace. o'fl sfmnlr9.la o..

THE New York Journal Of Commerce,
Dem.,) speaking of the folly of Democrats
trying to elect Greeley, says: Now the
best that can be done is to repair, as far as
can be, this great error, by ratifying at
Baltimore the Cincinnati platform, displae-
ing the Liberal Republican candidates, and
putting up a safe, acceptable ticket, such
as the Democrats would have nominated if
these marplots had not interfered with them.
The day is late, and the circumstances are
not the most suspicious, but it is still with
in the Democratic resources to elect the
next President of the United States"

WE see DO. reason why the Democratic
party should continue to lie unburicd. 1t
confcsses itself defunct it has not the
courage to affirm that it deserves to live.
Its principles, so-called, are so utterly hate
full and its life so bad, that it begs all the
world to forget both. 1t goes out from it
selfm hope Of finding a candidate not
tainted with its vilencss, and-here we can
but admire and wonder-it takes Horace
Greeley, the great and good abolitionist,
protectionist, etc., whose whole life has
been a vigorous protest against this very
party. 1t takes him to its bosom: it is a
lively and lovely corpse with the venerable
Horace on its breast. If it does not have
the dccency to call for the services of the
undertaken before November, the people
will be obliged to undertake for it. Horace
as a philosopher, q political economist, an
anti-slayery champion, a venerable temper
ance man, a delightful old fellow, a farmer,
is to be looked up to and vencrated /; as
the companion of Fernando Wood, Boss
Tweed, and John Molrissey, he is the fun
ny joker. ~ araI @ 8tE
The Democratic party, we submit, is not
in a condition to turn national clown and
to cuJ.up such antics in its moribund state.
We like fun, but do not think that a party
in a shroud, a party offensive to all n~ostrils,
a ghostly, unburied body of death, is ex-
actly the character to come on the stage to
hug our old friend Greeley just for the fun
of the thing. Greeley may well cry now,
as be has all his life: "Who shall deliver
me from the body of this death? 2"
