c,ut OF the 2Gth ult. This paper, as
well as almost every other Democrat
&c journal In the country, is laboring
with great zeal to organize what
some Of them call new party. They
would like to create the belief that
all former political ties and doctrines
and leaders are to be honestly laid
aside, and that the new party Is to be
all pure, guided by right, justice,
honor, brothcrly love, good Will,
forbearance, honesty, economy, and
every other virtue, and that there is
to lie no deception, no wish or strife
for office, no wire pulling, no cliques
or rings, no party machinery or hum
busgery; that farmers and laboring
men are to be INDUCED In every
thing they want, ETC., etc.
But the Democrat draws the cur
tain aslittle too far to one side, and
says that the Changers have banded
themselves together with Demo.
