THE NECESSITY For oRGANIzA.

During the past eight ycars-cvcr since
the disastrous results of the presidential
canvass of ls6S crushed the hopes Of anti
Republicans. North and South-thc Dem
Ocratic party OF Illinois has been I'm dis
organized condition. Following upon
the heels Of the SeymOur-Biair blunder,
came to tho party the conviction that 1t
must make departure from the policies
of before-the-war times. and that, being
the party OF the minority, in order
to obtain success, it must cease to
act with the arrogance OF majority
party-must open its doors and invite to
enter all displeased with the Republican
party. ltattempted to do this, and soon
ascertained that the Democrats who had
come down from a former gen
Grafton. were unwilling TO pull
in the traces with what they
called Reformed Radicals. The con-
sequence was. other defeats and an abso-
lutte falling to pieces of the party organi-
cation. That this result has been alto
gethcr lamentable we do not believe. In
deed. out of this Nazareth Of Democratic
confusion has come the good Of aore
liberal disposition on the part of those
Democrats who take pride in calling
themselves the uncomprOmising men,
bers Of the party. These have soGened
somewhat have concluded to not look
back with yearning regret to the
past--have eschewed the belief that hos
tility to the negro and an inordinate de-
votion to the doctrine of extreme State
rightsism constitutes tine gospel Of True
Democracy have fallen into line with
the enlightened sentiment Of to-day.
There Is therefore no reason why the
party should continue to be disorganized;
and we suggest that those whose duty 1t is
shall at once proceed to the work Of rcor-
ganizing it-of putting ii Into the field this
Fall in formidable array. Al least. let this
be done in Lower Egypt. andwilhoul I'M
necessary delay. In every county we
hope TO see this suggested work
done. Ia each county we
hope TO see tbs Democratic party
recognized and ticket nominated.
Let u. go up OF down in a gallant fight
with the Radicals, and that we ma, have
advantage Of all our resources let us or
ganize- organize the Democratic party
thoroughly and without delay.

A. WE SAlD.

We corrected the misapprchcnsion OF
the language of the 'arbondale Democrat
into which number Of papers have fall
len. by say Ing that when the Democrat
declared that the people were grooming
under taxes paid in a ianatical war it did
not mean the war for tie Union. The
Democrat says:
That is our position exactly. and We
are surprised to think that the BuLLLrIN
is the only organ in the district. so far as
we have ,ccn that has not misapprchcncd
il. In our language quoted by the BrL-
LrIIN We had 10 reference to the mighty
plialanX Of Democrats an1 Republicans
who she'd their blood IN the late war for
the Union. nor 10 the cost. incident Ia
carrying forward the sanguinary strug.
gle. When We pcnncd the sentence we
only had in our minds eye the long list
OF federal aggrc.siOns wagcd against the
rights and liberties of the South since
the war. and the enormous wantor
senseless expenditures necessary to car
ry them on.
