The Democratic Party.

The New York World has long leader
which declares in the first paragraph athat
the chances for a revival of Democratic
principles, and the victorious re-establish-
ment of the Democratic party have not
been so promising at any time within the
last fifteen years as they are at present.
Its concluding paragraph is as follows
1T would seem to follow from this state
of facts and these prospects, that the best
thing TO be done now is not to insist much
on mere names or shibboleths, but seek to
interest the public MUD in the great prin-
ciples which all former Democrats held in
common. II, as seems certain, the politics
of the country are to be reconstructed on
financial and commercial issues, what is
most needed is fervent apostleship for
sound principles 1t must be our purpose
in the new era to bring those who think alike
to act together Wemust rebuild the Dem
oeratie edi6ce by bringing back the stones
carried transiently into other structures.
Or in plain language, We must reunite all
who held Democratic doctrines before the
Republican party was formed, aud reinforce
them by the numerous recent converts to
the same order of economic and political
ideas. To accomplish this we must drop
mere partisanship and discuss principles.
First the quarrymen, then the architect
first believers then the church
The first thing TO be considered is. that
a republican form Of government cannot
exist without two parties, no matter by
what name they are called. The moment
We Lose balance of power in the body po-
little, then farewell to human liberty as en-
joyed in free institutions. Monarchy, an
archy, despotism, Capitalization and every
evil attendant thereon must ensue. This,
all history yerifes.
( We contend, therefore, it is for our sal
walton as republican absolute necessity
Ito maintain and encourage opposition
in political or partizan form, to the domi-
nant power There is duty devolyins
upon all good citizens as well for their own
as the public good.
We hold, therefore, to the momentous
duty of sustaining and fostering either the
Democratic party or some organization an
tagonistic to that now denominated repub-
licanism and in control of the government
As, therefore, there must be two parties.
we see no use in deyolving or abandoning
so strong, so respectable, so time honored
50 gallant an organization as exists in De
moeraey. BY uniting with it, men really
do more for the protection and good of the
country, the maintaining of their unaliean-
able rights, than il they were on the strong
side. They thus, combined, become po-
tential conservative check, preventing ex-
tremes leading to danger. and sooner or
later must triumph

The Press on the Death of Mr.. Greeley.

The comments of the press upon the
death of Horace Greeley, in the main I'M
exceptional in tone and feeling, afford Gu
rious reading, in some instances at least.
Liberal Republicanism did it, exclaims
the Nes0 York Times, the leading Radical
paper Of that city a0verwork did it,
says another; while third speculates up
ON what might have been" had Mr..
Greeley survived and been elected Presi-
dent, vaguely limiting at his eccentricities
and nervous exeitability, as unfsyorable for
the important work Of practicable admins
tration and stable government. Mr.. Gree
ley had his peculiarities, as well as other
men he had his strong and weak points (;
his virtues and excellencies; his foibles
and frailties. His leading traits Of char
acter, over all Of which an honest purpose
is believed to have predOminated, were
calculated to inspire among his fellow men
strong friendships and enmities His
friends sorrow over his loss; his enemies,
if he had any, should cast the mantle of
charity over the past, and say: Thou art
dead, Alonzo, and so Is our enmity.n He
has nothing more to do with the affairs Of
men. His course is run; his work is fin
ished. His name and fame are impressed
upon the records of the times in which he
lived. He lives no more in the flesh, but
in history. Let no harsh Judgment or il
liberal criticism be passed upon his career,
since the grave is now closed over him.

This eminent journalist died ON Friday
evening, the Goth Of November, in the
house Of DR.. George Choate, near Pleas
antville, n. Y. in the 62d year Of his age,
Of nervous prostitution, brought on by con
slant watching at the bed Of his sick wife
Mr.. Greeleys remains were inferred on
"Wednesday last, from the Church Of the
Divine Paternity, Rev DR., Chapin's. 1t
i announced that the Tribune Associa-
ton, some years ago, insured Mr.. Greeley's
life for 100000, for the benefit Of the
Tribune, While they lose the head and
founder Of the Tfsbuse, his death puts QUE
hundred thousand dollars into the Golfers
Of the Association.
New York journalism has been remark
able, for years, for having some Of the
most distinguished men at its head, ever
known to the profession, Noah, Webb,
Bennett, Bryant and Greeley. All have
passed away, except MIR. Bryant, distin-
guished both as a journalist and poet,
Although an octogenariaD, he still fingers
amongst his New York contemporaries,
the only remaining link between the pres
ent and the past. Mr. Webb is also living
but is not now connected with the press.
Few cities can boast names of higher
eminenee in any profession, than those
we have mentioned at the head of the
metropolitan press Mr.. Greeleys dealt
has elected the most extended notice and
the most varied commentary from hi
brethren of the press, of any that hai
occurred for long time. He survived
his wife only thirty days, and they
now lie side by side in the same cemetery
Two daughters are all Of their family VIII

AFRICAN CoLoSIzArIoN.--Fresh in
terest has been awakened among the col
ored people in this country in this subject.
The Liberian Government gives twenty
Eve acres Of land to each family, and the
American Colonization Society pays for
the passage from New York and provides
for the colonists until such time as their
crops can be harvested. The cost of trans
portation from New York to Liberia is
fifty dollars per head for adults and one
half that amount for children. This in
cludes provisions. Let the colored people
avail themselves, as far as possible, of the
aid thus afforded them, to reach the land
Of their fathers, where their condition win
be far preferable to what il is here.

The statistics continue to come in. The
Democratic detection rolled up heaviest in
Pennsylvania, making 10l ,34l less votes
than in 1868. The actual decrease in the
Democratic vote in six States Maine,
Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, IL
linois, and Ohio, is l66,S49, making no
allowance for natural increase; while the
Republican vote in those States gains l2,-
32S, which is about the natural increase
The South Carolina vote falls off fifty per
cent. and the Georgia vote about the same
Kentucky, Tennessee, New jersey and
West Virginia show the same sort of feel
ing. 1t is evident that the Democrats
threw away the election.

had been paid for, would have yielded the
sum of s3,500,O00. Nine-tenths, proba-

Grant members; the opposition party do
ing but very little of it, as it is notorious
that they had very few documents for dis

and house servants. Twenty-Five girls
