The proprIetY Of a New Party.

10 a proposal to di.baDd both political
parties, aud form for the interests of the
country new Que, We should expect to
see favorable consideration at the hands Of
newspaper and partisans heretofore in the
interest of both. But 10 the list Of names
of gentlemen 10 this city who indemnity

Of the States, and in a large majority Of
the counties and cities Any new party
that might be formed would have to com

be doue through tho instrumeDlaliiy of q
new party better than that Of the existing
Democratic party?" There is hardly a
township or precinct in all the tbirty.seVen

machinery for new party even in Ohio,
with its Two thousand townships, would re.

far greater disadvantages than the Dem.

It's much easier to reform existing or
CARNATIONS, to adapt them to new issues,
and make them conform to the laws Of
modern progress, than it il two disband
them and build anew. The latter, in
fact, involves double labor-thas of tear
ing down and erecting Tho effort spent
in putting mp new party would be better
exercised in recognizing the old one
However it may be with the Republicans
it will be disputed by NJ intelligent person
the Democratic organization has been
greatly changed aud modified by the events
Of the last decade In making those
changes aud notifications We have done
our full part. We have been, in fact, so
far in advance as to be subjected to much
obIoqny from some gentlemen who would
now do that which We never proposed -
break up the Democratic party altogether
So far as mere names arc concerned, there
can be none better than Democratic and
Republican lfabaudonod, they would be
probably seized bold of by new party or
CARNATIONS. VIVA! is objected to is not
the name, or even the principles, but the
practice Of the Two partics Reform the
practice, but let the name and the prinCi-
pies stand. Those who on account Of their
proju'iccs against name you'll not rccOg
nzo the fact that it belonged to q new
party arc beyond the power Of conviction
either from their. want Of sense or want of
principle as party element. There iSno
demand for new party. Ninety.nine
men out of hundred are either satisfied
with those which exists, or propose to reform
them through their own medium of action
Iii for these reasons, which are absolute
uuauswerable, that we propose to oppose
anything which looks to the abandonment
of the Democratic party aud the establish
mcnt of a new one its place The best
place, as We have have said, for firm to
do business is at the old Democratic stand,
where We propose to be found 10 the pro.
sent as in the future and the paSt-al.
though We have articles to sell there which
we're formerly oontraband -Ealairer.
