Mr.. Groesbeck and his proposition to
disband the old Democratic party are
receiving adverse criticism from most
of the Democratic papers. The burden
of their argument is: We tried the
new departure and coalition business
last year, and it dismally failed. Why
should we repeat the experiment? To
this Groesbeck and his friends might
well reply: We tried fighting under
the old banners, weighted down by the
heavy burden of the pro-slavery and
war record of the Democratic party, in
1864 and 1868, and met with only mel
ancholy failure. What reason have we
to expect success now IL We take up
again those old banners and the same
obnoxious burden after having thrown
them down in the mud at Baltimore
and tramped upon them? 1t would be
difficult for the Bourbons to answer
that. There can be no question as to
the fact that all the distinctive tenets
of the Democracy, including even free
trade, were surrendered when they
adopted the Cincinnati Liberal Repub-
lican platform, and accepted Greeley,
the most aggressive of Republicans
and Protectionists, for their standard
bearer. Nothing but the name was
left. 1t is amusing to note the haugh-
ty pride with which the Democratic
organs which last year supported Gree
ley on Republican platform now cry
out "No surrender" as though they
had got back again, or could get back,
what they surrendered unconditional

THE ARCTIC REGIONS.
A Wonderful Narrative Brought from
the Land Of Ice and Snow.

The New York Star, edited by Joseph
Howard, Esq gives currency to re
markahly sensational narrative, portions
of which we publish, merely as curios-
iiy in its way Howard was the author
of bogus proclamatious during the re
bellion to which he attached the name Of
President Lincoln piece of enter
prise which cost him brief stay in Fort
Lafayette. The story he now publishes
has in it some of the elements that char
acterized the celebrated moon hoax
We give it for what it is worth
"a letter has been received from Will
liam North, one of the Arctic explorers
who accompanied Sir John Franklin on
his memorable expedition from England
in 1854. North is still in the Arctic
regions, ard, according to his statement,
a great continent exists beyond the sea
of ice. His narrative. if true, will be
of the utmost importance to scientists
and explorers. 1t was written On the
white side of pieces of skin. laced to-
getber with siuews and enclosed in a
morticed log and sent adrift. 1t was
picked up in Hudson Bay. Washington
Territory, and by him forwarded here.
The following extracts are taken from
North letter
"In May, 1854. being desirous of leav-
ing England, l shipped before the mast
on the Erebus, under command of Sir
John Franklin, on an Arctic voyage.
Before winter VIC reached latitude n
deg. north, in Wellington Channel. This
was the highest the ships ever got. Cap
tain Franklin died of brain fever in
1857. We abandoned the ships in April
1858 Captain Crozier decided to go 80
degrees south, hoping to reach Hudson
Bay. Our provisions becoming e1haus-
ted, all but myself perished. lay Oh
the snow insensible, when l was rescued
by some Esquimaux and lived with them
several years. From my observation
became convinced that there was habit
able land father north. The birds and
animals often came in large numbers
from that direction, and then suddenly
returned. The Indians all had super
stitious fear of going far in that direc'
ton, and none who did SO were ever ever
seen again. 1t was supposed they per
isbed Cf cold and starvation, or were kiii'
ed by inhabitants beyond the mountains
1 concluded to push on to the north ano
