The article signed "Cincinnatus,
from the Boston Post, which was
reproduced in our issue Of tho 18Th
inst, embodics an unanswcrublc ar
gumcnt in favor of q complete or
ganization of the Democratic party
and the domination OF n regula,

Grant administration has rendered

by its direct connivancc in, and en-
couragcmcnt of, the rascalitics per-
pctratcd in New Orlcans.-by the
unpunishcd dcfhlcations, and other
villainies of officials throughout the
country, and by the general odor OF
corrhptlon =. which eminatcs from
every department. Of the govern
ment, it does seem strange that any
man claiming to be n Democrat,
should object to the raising of the
old banner of that party to which
the people naturally look for res
cuing the country from the degra-
dation and ruin into which it has
been brought by tho radicals.
1t is morally certain that the ar
my of Office holders, backed by the
unscrupulous exercise of all the
power of tho administration, will
succeed in their object of rcnomina-
ting Grant, and it is equally certain
that he will lie defca ted by a Dem
ocratic nominee, whose ability, pu-
rity of character, and war record,
combine to rondcR, him acceptable
to the people. Nothing can pro
vent so dasifabo consammation
bnt the Neglect or supincness ofthe
nompcracy. Republicans by the
hundreds of thousands will vote for
an uncxceptionablo Democrat rath-
or than for Grant, and it is nothing
shor! of criminal for the National
Executive Committee to postpone
the prompt action requisite for the
organization of the Democratic
forces in all the States ofthc Union.
Tho friends of tho administration
are active in preparations for the
contest, and the disaflucted Repub-
Leans are engaged i'll pattecting
their plans to circumvont Grant.

not u meeting held and it is begin
ing to be suspected that the Chair
man, Mr.. Belmont, with other mem
bers, is party to somH political
intrigue which has for its object
tho betrayal ofthc Democratic party
into the hands of its enemies. That
there is good reason for the belief
that sinister Influences are at work
to prevent the success of.the De-
mocracy, is evil acd by The fact that

zation, not the first step has yet
been taken by the men to whom
has been committed the duties Of
calling n National Convention, and
of preparations for the campaign.
Now is the time for that Commit
tee to fl ,od the country with docu-
meiits contSiii!ng the official evi-
dencc of the deep and damning cor
ruption which pcrmeates the bodr
politics under radical rule, accom-
panied by fcrvent appeals to honest
mch of all political sentiments, to
unite with the old Constitutional
party in driving from power and
from place, the hordcs Of thieves
and sycophants who are fattening
upon tho public plundcr. We have
looked in vain for some such de-
monstrations ofvitality on the part
OF the Committoc. They continue
silent as tie grave. Meantime the
months are rapidly passing away,
and the period for efficient and sue
cessful action will soon be over.
Let us not listen to the suggestions,
that we should wait until the anti
GrantRepublicans have shown their
hands. We have at present nothing
to do with them as an organization,
and if in the future negotiations are
to be opened, better for the party
and the country, Qlat they should
proceed on our sitfe, from a disci
plined and powerful host, ready,
should tho contingency arise, to
fight the battle successfully without
allies, than that we delay until the
time has elapsed wherein to perfect
our organization.
