A New Political Party.

Editor Rutlaad Globe The "machne"
men of the republican party are in great
fear that unless the wishes of the Ere
formers" are carried out at Cincinnati, the
latter will call convention of their own
and put third candidate for president in
The field. The Baltimore american, speak,
ing in behalf of the psrtisans of the party,
says
If Mr. Schurz and his friends nominate
candidate for president, all the votes that
he will receive will be drawn from the re-
publican party. Should he receive re-
| spectacle vote in Two or three states, the
election of the democratic candidate will
| be the inevitable result. Probably this is
what these gentlemen intend.
| The bugaboo of democratic success in
case conscientious republicans, like the con-
scentious whig, in the days Of the decad-
ence of the old wing party, refuse to wear
the party yoke frightens nobody. If the |
convention about to meet in Cincinnati ex- |
poet, that the dissatisfied element of the |
republican party will be dragooned into the
support of an obnoxious nomination by the
fear OF the success of the democratic party
through their detection, they will be I'M
deceived long before the November cleo
ton. The responsibility for the success of
the democratic party, should it come either
through a third nomination or through the
accession to the democratic ranks of the
entire BODY of independent voters will be
placed right where it belongs, namely, with
vho 40 ho f,npt n of bo ~,
cry of the republican party. If they are
equal to the occasion Gas | believe they will
be) no such misfortune as the return to
7 power of such class OF men as now CON-
i | prise tie majority OF the lower house of
g the national legislature will befal the
It country. But any failure of the Cincin-
e natl convention to comprehend the situa-
II ton, aud to act accordingly, will result in
# an abandonment Of the republican party
by the same element that went out of the
old whig party when its condition became
moribund, and which caused its dea h.
= This element was willing to assume the
. responsibility of killing that party then
:. it will not shrink from similar RESPONSE

- well put IN the following words of the
New York Public, in commenting on the
= address of the Independent conference, a:
70 New York. lately issued to the country:
re For four years the elections have shown
in that the people want better government,
SC and mean 10 have ii, party or no party
~ Belknap and Babcock may escape ant
r. America may hide her face with shame
but this election is the. last in which such &
republican party as we have seen vii
al confront such democratic party as We
ne have seen. If either accepts as its owl
It. this appeal to the conscience of the people
of it will win. If neither makes reform it
IN first duty, party with that object will eI
a ist within ninety days. 1t may not sue
= coed in the coming election, but it vii
d. make that the last election in which twt
nj conspiraces OF spoils-huntere shall confron
n. each other. The political protestant
d. have altered the decisive word which will
lis put an end to the worship of parties in
stead of the objects for which parties wer
w created. That species of idolatry has no
:. many months to live in one party at least
~ l; is not strange that this appeal is ad
-. dressed especially to republicans. TIL
40 men who created that party from sens
on of duty are the very men who, when it re
Ter tuses to satisfy their convictions will crt
on ate another If the republican party choose
,ar to resent the appeal of men who helped t
make it strong and resolves to do wron
because they beg it to do right, it will onl
prove that ii ought not to exist any Longer
ne The appeal has been made in the best poi
its sible spirit 10y men who represent in a pr
ior ouiGr degree those conscientious convit
En- tions which gave that party being, and
,rv will touch an answering chord in the hear
Ike of honest men all over the land.
re- The Baltimore american may resi- a
surcd that the terrors of democratic succe
are gone. If the country is to be bad
hia goyerned-for there is no prospect of r
ate form from the democratic party-we pr
ro ter it 10 be so governed by that party. III
A0 disgrace of misgovernment will not be on
ses then, as it is now. 0. NJ. B.
