Yes, we are once more in position.
kind reader, and in spite of the pleas
ure experienced in being again SO in
timately associated with you, We can
not help feeling deep regret that the
gentleman who has so ably ministered
unto You editorially, has now retired
to the quiet communings of his home.
His is facile pen, and to write with
him was the naturalist thing imagina-
bic. and We honestly confess and fear,
that the chair vacated by him having
been so highly honored, so intelligent
ly and we'll filed, that in its new found
pride it's venerable arms will not enfold
US so lovingly as in the time before.
We humbly trust that he will yet give
you the benefit of some Of his thoughts,
and not suffer his light, which so re-
Gently Illuminated the darkness, to 90
entirely out. We tender him our SIN
ccre Acknowledgements for the kindness
which prompted him to afford US re-
lief, and our readers so large share
Of his experience.
If he has trod upon auybody's corns,
it was done innocently, for an honest
cr, kinder gentleman, does not exist,
nor one who has keener appreciation
Of the amenities Of life. If any ones
corn has been hunt, and disposition
is manifested to raise nuss, we beg
that our friend be not disturbed, and

they be carried elsewhere. Again do
We tender him our warmest thanks.

things have passed away ana that al
things have becomc new. The Union
was reconstructed not festVrcd; a
! vast and wonderful difference which
men have not yet learned to realize,
From the beginning there vas con-
fict between two parties, the Federal
or consolidation party: the Democratic:
(then called Republican,: or State
Rights party. That contest culmina-
ted at last in the late war, but even
then if the Democrats North had been
tr>.e to their principles the Union
might have been saved, and at its
close the old Federal party Was found
to be completely triumphant and their
shouts of victory were raised over the
ruins of the Union. Then followed
the work of. Reconstruction. The
idea of Restoration was secuted by the
winning party because they said if
we restore the Union We have lost all
the fruits Of the war, and victory has
cost too much to be thus thrown away
aud abandoned. For the same reason
the Republican party triumphed in
1868, and again in 1872, because the
success of the so-called Democratic
party would have been equivalent to
the success of the doctrine Of State
Rights, the triumph Of Secession and
the Restoration Of the Union to its
old foundations once more. So We
may we'll conclude that the old State
Rights party, the Democratic party
has ceased to exist, and that it can
never be revived; and that any resist
ance to the Supremacy Of the Govern
ment at Washington, either by the
so-called States or by individuals,
would be rebellion nou whatever it
may have been in 1860.
Now, we cannot tell which is best.
It may be that the success Of the
Federal party and the consolidation
of the Union, will insure a far greater
degree Of prosperity and happiness to
the people than could otherwise have
been. This may be. In Gods hands
are the issues of all events and actions.
We only know that, moved by sense
of duty, We took the side Of Secession,
and would at any time have cheerfully
given our life for the success Of that
cause which We believed to be RIGHT
And often, since the close of the con-
Hict, when We have seen the wrong
and misgorernment and corruption
with which the land is filed, We have
thought aud felt that the most pleas
ant sound we could hear would be the
call to arms once more. But doubt
less it is best so. Let US do our duty
leaving the event with God.

The State OF Parties i'm the Uni.
ted States.

Were it not too serious a subject
We might be amused at the demorali-
zation that has existed in the Demo-
cratic ranks ever since the war, and
the perolexity that occupies mems
minds as to the causes thereof. New
Departures have been sought for, new
combinations have been tried, SO that
Roadway might be made, if possible,
against the power ruling at Washing
tn, and swaying the destinies Of the
country. Time and again the cry Of
Reform" has been raised but in vain.
Why is the Democratic party SO bro
ken, and why is it no longer an effect
i've working power? And why can it
never be again! 1t seems to US that
these questions are not difficult of So
lntion, but that the answers are plain
and evidert and may be read by all
who look with open eyes.
The Democratic party as such no
longer exists, it has had no existence
since the war and can never raise it's
head again while the Republic en-
dures. It's platform was utterly de-
molished, torn into splinters by the
shot and shell of the war, and, at the
close of the war, there was not piece
of plank left in it as broad as your
hand.
Was the Union restored or was it re-
constructed? The answer to these ques-
tiouS will show you why the so-called
Democratic party has been inevitably
defeated in every contest Of late years.
1t had and it still has nothing to stand
upon, and it never can again.
New issues and new combinations en-
tirely must be made. and the old party
name with its party cries must be
dropped or defeat will follow forever.
The reason is obvious. The main
plank in the Democratic platform, the
central one about which all the others
clustered, and by which they were
firmly held, was the doctrine Of State
Rights, the Sovereignty and Indepen-
lence of the States. Now, it follows,
that, when the States themselves are
overthrown; when they cease to be
sources Of power; when they have
become the mere creatures Of the power
which they, in the beginning, called
into existence; the party which was
founded upon this Sovereignty ceases
also to exist. The Democratic party
was that party, and therefore the Dem
ocratic party is dead because the Union
is dead. For this result we have to
thank the Democrats Of the North.

purposes 4 Republican, called in old
