Specimen OF Democracy.

Mr.. GREELEY's next friend" and cores
pendent. the illustrious Col. PAT. DOMAIN,
the patriotic gentleman whom the philoso-
pher has undertaken to advise how to defeat
the Republican party, is growing daily more
rampant. The distinguished consideration of
Mr.. GREELEY showed by this proof OF conf
dence has greatly emboldened him. From de-
nouncing the whole Republican party as
thieves, vagabonds, scaIlawags, mlrderers,
and all that sort Of thing, and negroes as all
apes or barbarians, he has adopted the political
code of JUNIUs BRUTUs BooTH, and now pro-
posed to dispose of the Republican party by
assassinating President GRANT merely. His
plan, in plain terms, if the combined sore
head and rebel Copperhead forces fail to elect
their ticket, is to begin in advance to prepare
the public mind for murder, by constantly
dwelling upon its necessity, SO that the peo-
pie will be less shocked by the assassination
of the President than they would otherwise
be. We have no doubt but this reckless
demagogue would rejoice if some rebel fanatic
would act upon his advice, and initiate the
example of BOOTH. But, as Mr.. GREELEY
undoubtedly has not yet reached that point,
we advise him to exert whatever influence he
may have over his friend DOMAIN, to restrain
him from such ruffianly and bloody ranting
as we quote below. The case of the sore
head boilers is desperate enough without in-
creasing the public odium against them by
those brutal and blood thirsty exhibitions:
A pERRISGER RESORT
If-after the oppressed people of this coun-
try shall have done all in their power to pre-
vent the reelection of the coOl-blooded
Ulysses 5. Grant, he shall, by the use of
corrupt means, reinstall himself and his army
OF hungry vampires;
1.-THE hope of victory for the Democratic
party shall disappear by the failure of passive
resistance strategy, and the pursuit of plum
der shall again bind together the apparently
dissOlving elements of hellish radicalism;
If-upon full and final struggle with the
enemies of state sovereignty and white SUI
premacy in America, the low-born scum from
hell's bubbling broth-pot shall triumph over
the people in the great campaign at hand;
If-pcculation, and theft, and defalcation,
and frauds, and tyranny, and niggerism, and
mongrelism shall receive popular Endorsement
in the dominant section, through the means
resorted to through the past decade of ma
tIonal nightmare;
Then there still remains a hope--a last but
sure and final resort--a derner resort. The
Jewish high priest Caiphas expressed that
last resort 1900 years ago, in these beautiful
and patriotic words: II is erpedient for us
that one man should die for the people, and that
the rhole nation perish not"
And not only one man, but thousand, if
! necessary. Liberty is worth more to the
world than 10000 radical parties, or the lives
OF all the cOrmOrants who have swarmed into
official position during the Great Villains adj
minstratOn.
1t is needless now or here to explain how
this work can be done eiectually. 1t is
sufficient unto the day" to familiarize the
patriotic mind with the bare thought, leaving
the means, mode, and details to future and
more active period. We merely strike the
keynote. To accomplish any great work the
public mind must needs be educated up to
the desired standard. OF the course of in
struction here designed this endeth the first
lesson
