Tbe Dividing Line Between Demo cracy" trnd llepublicnnisro. Before the war, tbe Democratic party managed to maintain almost uninterrupted oontrol o tbe Government, through ita alliance with the Blare power. So long aa it could maintain its hold upon the slaveholding aristooraey of the South, it cared but little for the publio senti ment of the North. From point to point it : followed the wild lead of ita fanatioal pro- ! slavery leaders, losing State after State by the ! fray, until in 18C0 it lost control of the Gov- eminent. The Rebellion which followed waa 1 rebellion of the leaders of the Demooratio j party. j The history of the Demooratio party, as an 1 Organisation, from the breaking ont of the war down to the present time, has been the ; history of a series of efforts looking to the great end of renewing its old alliance with the sriatooratio element of the South. Daring the war it opposed all vigorous and decisive mea sures for the suppression of the Rebellion, and maintained a constant bond of Bympathy and J union with the armed traitors who were seek- J ing the nation's life, looking to political action With them in the future. It opposed the abolition oi slavery, because that measure . would not only tend to diminish the power of the Rebels at the time, but jilao to weaken their power of association in the future. When the war was over the Democratic party urged the immediate admission into the Union of the Rebel States, with their traitorous and unconstitutional State organizations; not heoauBe it was anxious foMhe reiiatalilishment Of the Union, but because such a procedure would restore the Southern oligarchy to full power in each ot the Southern States, aud would pave the way for the renewal of the old politioal alliance through which it had pre rioualy ruled the country. So throughout this whole fight upon reconstruction, the De mooratio party has steadily contended for such terms as should recognize and establish a Southern oligarchy. All ita declamation about the "rights" of the South has simply meant the exclusive privileges of its proposed oligarchy. An oligarchy, by ita very nature, Is bound together in an unity of interests. It Is a close corporation. , To maintain ita status, it must aot in cenoert. The possession of ex clusive privileges beoomes ita bond of connec tion. The oligarchy which the Demooratio party is endeavoring to establish at the South, is to be founded upon the exclusive possession of po . litioal power in the Rebel States. This will Constitute a bond of union alnost as firm as that formerly made by slavery. With this Southern oligarchy, wielding the tremendous power of Statea in the Union, the Demooratio party expects to form a politioal partnership, like that of old between itself and the slave power, and thus to regain control of the Gov ernment. All of ita efforts tend to this con Summation. It cares nothing for principle, nothing for Justice to those whom the nation Las emancipated, nothing for the permanent peace and stability of tbe country its only ambition is to get power through an oligarohy whose very existence would be a perpetual anomaly and disgrace to our free institutions. Hence the resistance of the Demooratio party to the Republican plan of reconstruction. That plan is founded upon the essential American prinoiple of equal rights. Under it the South is daily being reconstructed after the model of free republican Statea, in which oligarchical rule is impossible. If that plan shall succeed, the Demooratio party Will have to enter the field at the South on equal terms with all other political organiza tions. It will possess no special advantages over other parties. It will find no compact and thorough organization, bound together by exclusive class interests, with whioh it can affiliate, and through whioh it can climb into power. It will have to depend alone upon the power of the principles it shall advocate and upon the record it has made in the past. Every day is bringing out more distinctly the features of this last great contest between the principles" of aristocracy and republican ism in our country. The Demooratio party is laboring to reconstruct the South upon the basis of oligarohy; the Republican party, upon that of true democracy. The success of the Demooratio party involves the disfranchise ment of large masses of citizens, and the con centration of all political power in the hands Of the few. It means the triumph of aristo cracy and the overthrow of republicanism in all the Rebel States. It means the creation of a political balance of power in the nation to be wielded by a few hundred Southern lead ers, whioh shall dictate terms to the whole people. It means a repetition of the old con flicts which agitated the country when this same oligarohy, bound together thenoe by slavery, Lad possession of the Government. These are the aspects of the great contest of the next Presidential campaign, which ia already looming up in the politioal horizon. It is the same question, at bottom, which has agitated the oountry for the last thirty yeara. It is the old "irrepressible conflict," only in a new phase. Upon its settlement will depend the peace and prosperity of the country for long years to come. If we are ever to have permanent peace, we must get rid of this perpetual antagonism between oppos ing principles of government. Aristooraoy and r-publicanism oannot flourish together. The bitter experience of the past should have taught us this truth; but, if it has net, the no less bitter experience of the future will surely do it. Unless the whole foundation upon which the great struoture of free society and republican government rests is a fallacy and a deceit unless the vital principles of true demo cracy are vagaries and falsehoods, fitted only to lure mankind on to disappointment and sor row, we are bound to see this experiment throngh, and to establish equal rights in this nation as the inalienable inheritance of ita lowliest citizen I Resumption. Wk doubt not that the reports of the Seoretary of the Treasury, Commissioner of Internal revenue, Controller of the Currency, and cthera required by law to be made to Congress, have been very carefully perused by our readers. We have had, also, Senator Morrill's bill for resumption ot specie payments in 18(31); Hon. R.J. Walker's project of gold-interest bonds to be sold abroad at par, together with pana ceas of all sorts to cure financial disease the existence of which we begin to doubt. If a merchant with ample means had been forced, by circumstances of an extraordinary character, into a suspension, and had laid before his creditors a careful exhibit of hij liabilities- and assets, showing conclusively his really solvent condition, depending upon time and careful handling to realize dollar for dol lar to each and every creditor, asking only a needed extension, what would be thought of that creditor who should propose an imme diate conversion of the debtor's assets, at a loss of fifty per cent, to every creditor, leaving the debtor in a condition almost beyond hope, when, by granting the asked-for extension, no creditor would be embarrassed, nor any one of their sumber suffer so much aa by imme diate conversion of the assets ? Careful handling of what we have got is all tliat the people ask at this time. They do not de sire that Uncle Sam shall convert his assets into each at the risk of losing his income. He now has rents and interests coming in. lie might part with the principal at a heavy sacrifice for gold, but his dividends, interests, and rents are surely and safely lifting him out of hia "difficulty." All he has got to do is to curtail his expenditures to the closest limit of his needed business operations. Meantime, his cotton lands, his grain fields, hia gold, silver, copper, lead, coal, and Iron mines are yielding large retuma every year, and will surely aid him in the payment of his debts, provided he is not persuaded to deal too largely at those English, French, and German StaUs, which are fitted with such sightly merchandise. lie has now a good deal of paper out, besides his endorsements for the National Ranks. New, the two parties are so closely identified in their money operations that an injury to one would very materially affect the other. It follows, therefore, that United States and National Banks should have the kind indul gence of their oreditors; and just so surely aa the people will cooperate with them, by re fusing to deal at those English, French, and German stores, and buying and wearing home spun instead, digging in Uncle Sam's mines, ploughing in his cotton and grain fields, and making up hia materials for exchange, the whole financial question will find an easy solution always practising economy as well as preaching it. It is true that he has contracted some ugly debts at those English, French, and German stores, but they are too anxious to retain his custom to undertake to em barrass him. Besides, they can't very well use their money to any better advantage than by letting the debt remain at interest, because they are well aware of their deb'or's posses sions and the vigor with which he pushes what ever he undertakes, and, therefore, rest satisfied with the security. Some of his sons are rather too talka tive those of them that were not brought up to business and have created a little nervous ness about his intentions, but no one who knows the sturdy character of the mer chant has a doubt about his word. On the whole, we think the prospeot is very cheery. His Secretary ia pretty careful some queer notions of converting mines and fields into movable property but, in the main, a pretty good manager. With tact and discretion our nation oan, like the business man to whom we have ventured a homely comparison, easily weather the storm. AU that ia needed is common sense and economy. The problem then will settle itself. The Fenian Demonstration. To-mobkow our city will witness a demonstra tion on the part of the various Fenian organi zations, which will, doubtless, be imposing. A number of men in the line of march, keeping step to muffled drums and following three hearses, cannot fail to convey a feeling of solemnity to allwno watch its progress. - Bat while a natural awe will be felt for this display of sorrow, we" cannot but think of the recent character of the Fenian efforts at indepen dence; and remembering their latest policy, we cannot but lose, to a great extent, our sympathy for the executed, whose death the procession is intended to commemorate. The plan of action now being followed by the Fenians in Great Britain is not too strongly named when we characterize it aa murderous. Every day brings us some fresh item of how the ingenuity of the leaders is exerting itself in efforts to devise some new means whereby leading Englishmen may be murdered, but which, cannot result in aiding their Indepen dence. First an attempt is made to blow up a prison, which, although it failed to seoure its object, yet a score of innocent lives were heedlessly sacrificed, the absurdity aa well aa the criminality of whioh ia well characterized by the New York Post, whioh says: , i'Xliftt some Fonlans, being Irian men, should attempt to liberate an imprisoned brother by trowing up the prlxon In which he wm con nnd. la no more mirprlalng than that Teronoe O Uonohno cut on Ii In own heml with tne aryt hp hanttlnn over h in tinr-lc, while attempt ing to kill a toad with tbe handle." Then, again, explosive materials are placed in letters, which, when opened, ignite and tend to destroy the one who opens them. Again, oombustible matter ia placed in the mails, so - that the correspondence of private citizens, letters from dear relatives and anxious friends, may be burned; while it is quite a common occurrence to hear of powder mills being blown up and a dozen killed, through the anxiety of the Fenians to injure their foes. Such a polioy as this demands the severest reprobation by all elvilized, much less Chris tian people. It is opposed to the doctrines of our enlightened age. It savors of the Italian assassin rather than the Celtic patritt. We daily lose our sympathy when we see Innocent Uvea sacrificed, policemen shot down in the discharge of their duty, and a recklessness and madress characterizing the whole course of the Brotherhood whioh cause us to doubt their sanity. We may feel regret at the execution of Allen, Larkin, and Gould, but we cannot feel surprise or indignation. After all the ttiala to which the British Government haa been subjected, and the plots and schemes not to overthrow it, but to murder its citizens, we would be much more surprised if it did not send to the gallowa any of the distnrbera of ita peace whom it might detect. While, there fore, the imposing display to-morrow will be viewed with reverence, yet the recent course of the Brotherhood is such as to reverse ra tional sympathy, and, if persisted in, will turn the tide of popular feeling against an organ ization which is sacrificing so many unoffend ing lives. We do not view the present exhibition of mourning, however, in the light of a simple tribute to the memory of the dead. We fear it is an attempt to secure a tribute, more sub stantial than a sigh, for the benefit of the living. An appeal will, in all probability, be made to the liberality and patriotism of the Irish people for aid to avenge the departed. We hope most earnestly that not a cent will be given. We are sick of these begging appeals of men who desire the money for their own ends and for a cause which ia hopeless. Every cent given to-morrow makes the givet an accessory to the deaUi of some brave though rash Fenian, who will be encouraged by it to attempt what must end in failure. Let all remember this, and, while mourning the dead, be careful not to lend their aid to send other victims to the soaffold. In this connection, we call the attention of all true Irishmen to . the following from the London Times of the 18th; "On Saturday, December H, a meeting of the Liverpool County MagUtrutt s whh held, to take into consideration tne subject of tbe pro posed Feniuu proceHslou to occur on , the morrow.

"Telegrams sent from different parts of tbe Kingdom, yesterday, nnnouuoe that no attempt wan made to form tbe intended procession." "A Swindle." The Journal of the Telegraph tella the story of an odd telegraphlo blander: "A merchant who was absent from his home received a telegram informing him of his wife's safe delivery ot a little girl; at the same time a letter from hia partner advised him that a draft had been preaeted for $5000, and the signature seemed rather doubtful. The mer chant replied to both despatches, but mis directed them. The astonishment of the wife may be imagined when sh read: "I know nothing about it; it's a swindle." The part ner received hearty congratulations upon his safe deliverance." f?VJ UNIVERSAL EXPOSITION, Paris, 1867 STEIN WAY A SONS TRIUMPHANT, Having been awarded the First Grand Gold Medal for American Nraud, bqoare and Upright Pianos, by the unanimous veidlcl ol the International Jury.
