in inducing the democrats to change
their platforms, by copying those
which the republicans used when
they were favored leaders IN that
party.
Still another circle is composed Of
local politicians, who reside in neigh
borhoods where the democrats are
in the ascendant, and who are in
position to continue themselves in
Office year after year. The forma-
ton Of new party would disturb
the existing order of affairs, in such
localities, bring other men to the
surface, and render insecure their
hold on power; hence, they wish
matters to remain as they are. There
is yet another class, found in local.
tiles where their party is in the mi
nority. They have been beaten so
often and SO badly by the republi-
cans, that they have come to hate
every man who belongs to that Or
ganization. The formation of new
party involves the necessity of their
associating with some Of these, and
sooner than do this, they would al
low the whole country to 60 to ruin.
These are governed by hate alone.
The above classes, then, are those
who maintain the democratic organ
ization. Amongst them all there is
not single patriotic impulse. They
are prompted by avarice, vanity,
lust for Office, sel6shness and hate,
and are the most dangerous men to
whom the people can entrustt their
affairs. The masses of the party,
who follow the lead of these, are
honest, true men, who earnestly de-
sire reform, and are willing to do what
ever lies in their power to bring
it about. They hardly expect to &C.
complish it by means of the demo-
cratic party. and the recently expos
ed corruption Of republican party
leaders discourages them from look
ing for it in. that direction. They
did hope that the anti-monopoly
party would afford means for bring
ing it about, but when that organi-
cation was captured by the demo-
Gratis and their ex-republlcan allies,
they were shut off from this avenue
of relief and naturally settled back
into the old ruts.
Like the democratic party, the
republican organization is, to some
extent, controlled by the moneyed
class and by corrupt politicians; but
its leadership, likewise, comprises a
good many men who are not Alto
gether selfish. These are intelligent
enough to perceive that the people
will not much longer endure the ru.
nous extravaganza, waste and dis
honesty which have so sadly marred
the history Of the past ten years, and
having no desire to participate in
such neutrality-suspicious. themselves,
while being solicitous to attain hon.
orable positions, they use their in
huence to correct the abuses com
planned of, which are at the same
time destroying the future prospect:
Of the party and their own chances
for speedy political promotion. II
: their influence is due the recent in
vestigations, which have condemned
to private life many who were fol-
merly honored party leaders an

that it is powerless to do good:
They know very we'll that, if it were
even successful, the moneyed class
hold it in their grip SO completely
that they would use it wholly to ad-
vance their schemes.
Another circle is composed of ex-
republican politicians, such as
Messrs. Donnelly and Wilkinson,
who, having fallen into distavor with
their own party, and full Of ambi-
ton to continue to be political lead
ers, have attached themselves to
the democratic party, with the
vain expectation that it will recover
power and float them into lucra-
tive positions. These men would
have gone into a new party move
ment, but that they perceived that
the multitudes of intelligent, thought
full men with whom they would there
have to compete would make it
doubtful whether they could main
tain themselves in the leadership.
Hence, they attached themselves to
the democratic. party and succeeded
in inducing the democrats to change

which the republicans used when

JOHN MoRRIssEy.-An enthusiastic
Saratoga correspondent of the Cincinna-
ii Commercial thus grows eloquent about
Johr Morrissey: Such a headswas new
err planted on Shoulders. 1t is like a
helmet enclosing another face. I have
heard it said that his mother could whip
an able bodied man. Su civ this is the
most singular of all prize-f fighters. All
his generation is in the grave-Hyer of
liquor, Poole of murder, Sullivan of
suicide, Savers of success. This man
survives all of them. Once he was the
most unpopular man in America-when
he bet against Heepan in the ring in
England. He has plenty of people who
like him now, but it is hard to draw
close to him, for there is too much of
the Ogre about Morrissey to compre-
bend him within human lines. A SOL
id driving business man without a law
bone in his body, passionate, but not
voluptuous, kind to his interiors, indie
pendent with his superiors, diplomatic
but not overbearing too, he ALWAYS re-
minds me of the docile giant Of the
than he ate one of the little Jacks. He
has one or two sprees year-no more
when he walks against awning-posts
and they fall down, shakes hands with
friends who go lame forever, aud exhib.
its dreadful picture of the grandeur
and Impotence of an enraged Achilles.
If this man had lived in Rome, and had
been matched in the arena against the
early Christians, he would have sup
pressed the entire sect. He would have
given more joy in the Coliseum thananv
man of that age. His physique and
head are his excuse for pugilism, be-
cause no such form was ever created
for any other known purpose than to
be punched; like some great Thracian bar
barian he is surrounded with all the do
nestle virtues, while battling with every
physical and moral element. His wife
trained him for his great fight with
Heenau. He went TO Congress by trav-
cling from door to door. aud saving to
his constituents that he had been born
so poor and ignorant that the only way
he had to get up in the world was BY
his fist, and now he wanted to wash
out the record for his sons sake, by
going to Congress. Go he did twice.
While there he performed honestly.
There are real elements in him, as in
the Siberian bloodhound, but with all
his fascination he is still scarcely do
mestication. The great point about
the man is that he is never mean, cra-
ven, nor fawniug. If you gamble in
his house you gamble with your mas
ter.

The DUTY OF DEMOCRATS TO THEIR
STATE TIcKET.-Though no well-in-
formed person entertains serious appre-
tensions, or apprehensions Of any kind,
from threatened independent movements
or Radical opposition against democrat
ic supremacy in our State, still it would
be well, We think, for certain of our
democratic contemporaries to quit COM
planning for the present about rings and
their supposed connection with the ma
king of orr State Ticket and go to work
As it is admitted that the ticket is unex-
oeptional in all personal regards, and as
any change Of front by our party is now
out OF the question, no good but only
hurt can come out Of discussions which
assail the manner in which our State
Ticket was put in the field. There
is said to be time for all things, and
the time it impresses us for democrats
to quit caviling and go to work is
now and here. IL the nominees were
personally unworthy, different ques-
ton would be presented, but this
has never been charged, even by the
opposition. Besides. after careful read
ing of the proceedings and debates
of the late Baltimore Convention,
we have been able to discover nothing
either of mfairness or injustice to any
body concerned. The majority outvoted
the minority-the big ring, if rings
there were, beat the little one-and
that's the whole of it. Let us have
done with this nonsense about rings, es-
peclally in face Of the enemy, or ad-
journ what we have to saw about them
until Mcssrs Carroll, WooIford and
Gwynn shall have been elected.

DEATH or GEs. PIcKErr.-The Viz
einia Sentina pays just and feeling
tribute to this distinguished soldier in
the following:
Throughout the State of Virginia
there goes a pang of genuine sorrow
this day, as the sad news spreads that
General George Z. Pickett has succum-
bed to the last enemy, and closed his
kindly ewes in death. He died last
night, at Norfolk, where he was taken
sick only few days before, while visit
| ing his friends in that city.
There is no true soldier on earth, sd
no one who adrnires the qualities which
make one, who win not share this SEN
timent of sorrow. We are ready to dis
miss and forget all the bitterness Of our
late strife-nay, we hare wiped away
all that from the tablet Of memory
But the remembrance of the noble quail
tiles it brought to light, of the deeds Of
valor and devotion it inspired, and Of
the heroic men who gave it glory and
honor, though not success, shall live
while honor and valor and faith are ad-
mired on earth. And in the grand ar
raw which Virginia marshals, ''oh fame
eternal camping ground" and points to
with strickenfpride, Ss~ilhstsafing all
that was chivalrous and true in warfare,
the flower of her youth aud the strength
of her manhood, there stands no nobler,
truer or more gallant son than was
George Z. Pickett-'no prouder name,
even in her own proud Cline" Gentle
and kind and generous and honorable
and true, he was to his friends the en-
bodimeLt of all that was lovable and at
traetiye, and vet was this modest gen.
| tleman a very lion in the fight, and the
firmest of all the chieftains of Lee to
hold his men to dangerous duty, or
stem the tide of an adverse battle. The
charge of Pickett at Gettysburg stands
alone in the history of our war, and with
that of Macdonald at Wagram, and
Ney at Waterloo, will go down to fame,
among the most sublime instances OF
courage and devotion in the bloody re-
cord of wars
Soldier rest thy warfare DER
Sleep the sleep that knows no waking,
Dream OF betted fields no more;
Days of danger, nights ofwsking.
No rrde sound shall reach thine ear,
Armors clang of WAT -steed champing.
Trump nor pibioch summon here;
Mastering c!an, or squadron tramping.
The sound of contending arms is no
more heard, let us trust, forever, and
Virginia decorates in peace the graves
of the beroes who made her glorious in
war. There, on thy loving mother 5
breast, will thine he found. among the
most honorcd and illustyious of her
shrines to which her pilgrim sons shall
GO to gather the inspiration of manhood
and her gentle daughters, tending with
watchful care, shall bring their tributes
of love, while the amaranth, twining
with the cypress, keeps thy memory in
our hearts forever!
