TURNING BACK.
Nay /, 1873.

The leading organs of the democratic
party are turning back to the principles
which they abandoned last year. Then
they dropped State Rights. Free Trade,
and the negro question, and accepted
Horace Greeley as candidate for Presi-
dent. Now they are again advocating
Free Trade. the doctrine of Stie Rights,
and in Louisiana are abetting II not actu.
ally carving on a war Of races. The
Tribune and World have waged a SHARP
contest OF words over the rctrograde
movement, the Tribune denouncing it a:
a breach OF faith with the Liberal Repub
licans and destructive to the combination
made last year, while the World insists
that the salvation of the democracy con
sists in getting back to the old ground al
fast as possible. The greater part of thu
leading democratic newspapers are on the
side Of the World in the dispute, leaving
the Tribune and other liberal organs to
sustain themselves as best they can.
This is a pretty state of affairs to exist
so soon after the alliance of 1872, with
''Uncle Horaces as the admired of the
democracy. But "business is business"
and the World evidently 'means business"
in sounding the recall to its strayed le-
gions. The Tribune and the Liberal Re-
publicans. according to appearance, IS will
soon be without n yestige of platform to
stand upon that will be consistent with
their past record. Unless they abandon
the leadership now set up for them they
are very certain of being carried into the
arms of jefferson Davis in the next Presi-
DENTAL campaign Although we antici-
pated strife and separation between the
incongruous elements which made up the
party that voted for Mr.. Greeley, we
scarcely expected it so early as this after
the election Or in the radical shape which
it assumes. The World is entirely right
in holding that the party must stand on
its own distinctive principles. Just as it
was right last year when it opposed the
nomination of Greeley by the democrats
and warned them of the defeat that would
follow. However il is their own family
concern. and whatever way they settle it
is Of no consequence to the republicans.

who was interviewed Saturday, expresses the
opinion that the Polaris was unfit for service,
that there was no discipline on board of her,
but that Capt. Hall has proved that Smiths
Sound is navigable and is the true passage to
the Polar Sea, which he seems to have
reached, though driven back by drifting ice
fields or gales of wind. DIR. Hayes cannot
understand why the ship, when so near
Northumberland Island, should have been
driven upon it. He thinks that there was
| diasensiou on board and that it looks as
though the party, cut off from the ship, had
determined to leave her, but Capt. Hall has
done glorious thing. He has gone further
north with ship than any human being ever
did before, although others have gone as far
in sledges, and the Polaris was 2l9 miles fur
Their north than Ksne's ship.
DIR. Hayes says it almost looks as if Mr..
Hall was killed by one of his men in a mutiny,
for he had never known of any one dying in
that section from apoplexy and Capt. Hall
did not look like an apoplectric man. DR..
Hayes believes that the rest of the crew are
yet alive and that the Polaris will return here
by September. Prof. Baird, of the Smith
sonian Institution, thinks the expedition is far
from a failure, and has no doubt realized
