The fact tbat the orpoMtion to the Republi cans is not in any proper Fe me oui party In comes more proniiuetit atii irrepreB&ible every day. Great efforts are making to reoonoil the conflicting elements, bo that the discord may not be ruinous to the Convention of Baturday next; but the pro.-pect is certainly dim. The diuerenoes bo wren the extreme factions that are rapidly taking form within the Democratic organization are too wide to be comprehended under any platform, how ever general, and too important to be consis tently represented by any candidate, how ever obscure. The men with whom policy and the desire to win are stronger than the traditional pas sions Of old paity warfare, want to bury the past and take a new start, with a view to liv ing questions. Couless openly what everybody knows, they say; that government by the people in all the States is a fixed fact, and take up the cry of State rights in a practical form, adapted to the present couditioa of the South as well aa the borth. But these who in 1800 led the party, and in 18(il lerf the Rebellion, are everywhere iu the reconstructed States couiiug to the surface again; and are bent on seuiug up the eld oligarchy which the war destroyed. Ueneral Buckner, in Keutuck?, and Udmund Rhett, in South Carolina, supported by almost every man of former importance as a Democrat from Mason and Dixon's liue to the (Julf, and by all that is left of the Vallandigham band of brothers in the North, demand that the central idea of the campaign shall be a white man'a government. They even threaten that the Convention shall be repudiated by the rank and file, which they pro.ess to control, unless it shall adopt the Dred Scott decision as its platform. And the latest manifesto of the La Crosse Democrat, which is unquestionably the most oharacteristio orgau of what may be called the "ring and rowdy" Ddinosrats throughout the country, lobks us if this threat might mean something. The fight is eo complicated with tlaancial Issues that the result is doubtful. If the poli tical question stood alone, the moderate men would doubtless succeed iu carrying general resolutions which mean nothing or anything concerning negro suffrage. But East and West are at war on the greenback question. Now the Southern extreme faction are trying to win by courting the alliance of the Western repudiators. Denouuce the negroes bitterly, they cry, and we will join you for universal greenbacks. On the other hand, those of the party who care something for the national good faith are generally the same men who object to fighting again iu a political campaign over the questions of the war. Their case looks hopeless now. The platform seems most likely to be dictated by the friends of Mr. Pendleton, whoever the candidate may be. That is to say, the D-moor.uij duotrinjs are to be anarchy and repudiation. Anarchy for this is the meaning of the proposition to treat as unconstitutional ami void all that has been done by Congress in governing and re organizing the Southern States lor three years past. Repudiation for no reader of the Evening Post doubts that this will be the Speedy and inevitable result of casing irre deemable paper a legal tender for the public dent. What will the thinking men of the party do f What will the Democratic press of the Eastern States do ? What course will be taken by suoh papers as the World, which have re peatedly and urgently advocated, as the two fundamental principles of publio policy at this time, the acceptance of the suppression of the Rebellion, and the maintenance of the national honor f Finding, as in the result now most likely they must find, that on the really im portant and practical issues of the day the Republican party stands just where they stand and the Democratio party stands in direot opposition to them, what can they do but sup port General Grant f Unless, indeed, they follow tne precedent set by tnemselves in 1S4S, and again by the now ruling faction in 18(50. and seoede to support, say Chase and Adams upon a platform of their own. Congressional Extravagance and Cor ruption. Prom the Washington National Jnlclligenoer. When the record of the aots of the present Congress comes to be shown, it will be found to have surpassed any conception of plain honest men in wasteful extravagance, in fos tering startling frauds, and promoting corrupt eobemes of special legislation for the benefit of a few favored individuals at the public expense. While making loud pretensions of economy in small things, it has been unstinted in lavishing extraordinary appropriations upon simple par tisan projects, and in giving subsidies and en dowments with princely generosity to various Schemes of private and individual speculation. As yet, since the beginning of the Fortieth Congress, not one single measure has been perfected for the public benefit. All of its acts have been devoted to partisan or special legislation. While professing great concern for the interests of the working classes of the people, it has imposed upon the labor of the country enormously increased burthens for the benefit of the capitalists and bondholders. While refusing the poor pittance of twenty per cent, increase of pay to the department employes, it has nearly doubled the pay of its own members, and the salaries of its own par ticular servants. While, for the sake of seem ing to be economical, it cuts down the regular and indispensable appropriations, so as to render unavoidable hereafter a tremendous deficiency bill in every department of the Gov ernment, it is squandering hundreds of mil lions in aid of private speculations, in the way of subsidies and laud grants, aud special privileges, whereby a few favorites are en abled to realize almost fabulous fortunes at the expense of the Uovernmeut and the tax burthened people. It used to be that the manipulation of such Schemes ot private profit was confined to the lobby, and that they were warily brought for ward, aud at long intervals. Now it appears that these speculations upon special Congres sional legislation are nnblushingly presented by hundred, and it is said that the quondam business of the lobby has been transferred to the floors of the two Houses. The number of railroad and steamship en terprises of this character, demanding enor mous subsidies in Government bonds and laud grants, at a moment when the life of the nation itself is in imminent peril, aud when the people are absolutely staggering under the fearful load of debt, is incredible. Among these there are enumerated over twenty rail road bills, all providing for extraordinary subsidies in bonds and land, and five or six steamship bills conferring unprecedented privi leges and extravagant bonuses. One of the latter has already passed the House of Repre sentatives, giving to a hypothetical ' Tuw VArfr nnmnanv 41inf. Iiau rt 'ur of cjftiTOy. puni , up, nor a single ulick afloat, an enormous bonus, to gether with the exclusive monopaly of the transportation of all our foreign mails. ThU immense pioject of private spesulation, so uu jmt to all our existing steamship lines, an ! so wildly extravagant in imposing additional bur thens of public debt upon the manses of the people, is, we believe, still pending in the Senate, awaiting a favorable opportunity ta In presfed through that boriy. This sohmii of public plunder has never been approached in extravagance and exclusiveness sinoe the ex position and wiping out by a Demooratio ad ministration and a Democrat o Congress of the great Collins subsidy for similar purposes. It is due to the people that their attention should be called to these transactions in Con gress, and that their outrageous character should be mercilessly exposed. Mr. Longfellow in England. fYom the A. Y. World. It must have been very gratifying to the roet Laureate of England to learn from the London J clfjraph, (the most widely circulated daily journal of the British metropolis), that the poem of "Enoch Arden," which he has for some time enjoyed the credit of compos ing, was really written hy oar own American bard, Mr. Longfellow, now LL. D., of Cam i bridge, England. if an American newspaper had announced that Mr. Greeley in his address to Mr. Dickens at the Fress Dinner, in New York, had felici tated the illustrious guest upou those admi rable works of his, "The Pickwick Papers." "The Scarlet Letter," and "David Copper- field," how very much amused our British brethren would have been by the perform ance 1 And here comes a leading London journal with this amazing information: In a few well-rounded Lntln sentences, the public orator recited the claims of tne Ulstin- tulKlitd vlHltor to the prlvelexe of an honorary iltgrte. Ttie names ol 'Hiawatha' and 'Knocli Alien' aud 'Kvnugellne' sounded ntratigely amid the sonorous periods of the Latin ora tion." If the Telerank's correspondent really heard the name of "Enoch Arden" on this ampicious occasion, it certainly cannot have sounded more "strangely" to him "amid the sonorous periods of the Latin oration," than it will to all the rest ol the world "amid" his own ef fusion. Literary fame is commonly believed to be the most genuine aud enduring form of that potent delusion, the "bubble reputation." lut if it be the soldier s late, dying for his country on the field of glory, as Byron cyni cally tells us that it is, to have his name "mis spelled in the gazette," how much pleasauter can it be for living poets to find that those who travel a hundred miles to record their tiinmphs have the most utterly indefinite notions of them aud of their works? Reconstruction and Restoration of the De mocratic Party Voice of -New York. From the ft. Y. JJtruld. The approaching Democratio Convention will be the most important general council ef the party since that of Charleston, in ISliO, when the national organization of that day on the slavery question was broken up aud scat tered to the winds. That Convention was one of Democratic disruption and dissolution; this is appointed for the task of Democratio recon struction and restoration. In 1SC0 the party, having fallen behind the progressive ideas of the age, was thrown aside and went down; in 18G8, after eight long years of penance in sackcloth and ashes, of fasting, humiliation and prayer, in rising to its feet again, it has a fair prospect, on the living issues of the day, of regaining the White House and another lease of power. A brief glance behind us will enable us to understand the battle before us. We know nothiog of what is to come, and iu all human affairs we can only provide for the future from the teachings of the past. There was but one political party, we may say, although many factions existed in the country, under Washington's administration. The old Republican party, which blossomed as an opposition party under the elder Adams, came into power in 1800 with Jefferson. It was the tree upon which the later Demooratio party was engrafted under General Jackson. The Virginia State rights resolutions of " "JS and "99" were the groundwork of the old Re publican party, but its organization was largely due to the leading Jell'ersonian politi cians of New York. In 1824 the old Federal party having been entirely wiped out, the dividing lines between it and the Republican party also disappeared, and so the peo ple at that day were desoribed as "all Republicans and all Federalists. The consequences were, first, a Presidential scrub race between Jackson, J. Q. Adams, Craw ford, and Clay; seoond, a failure to elect by the people; and, third, the election of Adams by the House .of representatives by a ooali tion with Clay. Against this coalition of what John Randolph styled "the Puritan and the Blackleg" the Demooratio party under Jaok son was organized, as the lineal successor of the old republican party against the elder Adams. In 1828, Jackson's first eleotion, New Y'oik gave him her vote by only some five thousand majority; but from that day for twenty years the organization and the policy of the Democratio party and its Presidential nominations were mainly controlled by Martin Van Buren and his associates of the Albany Recency, speaking for the Empire state. We come now to a very important epoch the Presidential election of 1848. In that con test (Martin Van Buren, against his preten sions to a second term, having been for the second time overslaughed in the regular L)& mocratic convention by the Southern oligarchy. because they disliked him on the slavery ques tion) there was a regular split of the Naw York Democracy. Van Bureu having resolved to be trifled with eo longer, boldly took the field as an independent candidate. lie was nomi nated by the famous Buffalo Free Soil Con vention, of which the present Chief Justice Chase was the ruling spirit, aud the result was the defeat of Cass, the regular Democratio nominee, and the election of Taylor. This was in 1848, and upon this very Van Bureu Chase free soil platlorm "no further extension of slavery" Seward became the great apostle of the Republican party, organized six years later, and upon this identical platform Abraham Lincoln was first elected in 1800. Here the remaikable fact appears that Sal mon P. Chase, of all living men, is entitled to the distinction of the founder of the Republi can party in providing the platform and in opening the way for its advancement to the possesion of the Government. But the main thing to be remembered is this, that this breaking up of the old Southern slaveholding oligarchy and of the Demooratio party as it was began with Van Buren, the right hand man of Jackson, and with the elite of the Jaok ponian democracy of New York. The vote of New York in 1848 was: For Lewis Cat8, regular Pemonrnt 111.118 ForManlu Van Buren, free soil JJeiu UU.OIO Total Democratic and Free Soil vote. ..2.1! 828 For senary Taylor, Whig M.WS Majority against Taylor lit,2J j But Taylor's plurality gave him the eleo toral vote of New York and elected him. Iu 1844 the boot was on the other leg; for, Henry Clay was then defeated by the diversion cf some fifteen .thousand New York AVhlg Abolitionists over to Barney, when, if they had voted the Clay ticket, they would have given Clay New York by ten thousand majority and made him President. In 1852, on Clay's great compromise measures on the slavery question, the No v York and national Democracy were set right side up, as it was supposed, in the election of poor Heme. Unfortunately, however, poor Pierce, tinderthe influence of Jeff. Davis, Mason and Slidell, and the other leaders of the South ern oligarchy, forgot his pledges of neutrality, and became an active slavery propagandist in the repeal of the Missouri compromise. The disruption and dissolution of the obi Demo cratic patty began from that hour, audit began in New York. The crime of that act is written in all the horrors of the la'e Southe n rebellion, and the blunder is recorded in every Dm oratio defeat from that day to this. But the elections of 1807 brought some gleams of Demo cratic daylight. New York, indeed, with her fifty thousand Democratio majority, came up with a blaze of sunshine. Iu behalf of this majoiity her leading Democratic stateainm and politicians, and the rank and file of the party ask for the nomination of Mr. Chase. Twenty years ago, in New York, and in the Van Buren free soil movement, ai we have shown, he laid the foundations of the present Republican paUy. That work is done, and to-day, on the new constitutional fouudition of universal liberty and civil equality, Mr. Chase is free, aud be is needed to reconstruct the Democratio party. On the bais of the new Constitutional amendment, which may be regarded a fixed fact, he can restore the De mocracy to power. On any other tack, and with any other candidate, they are gone. Our past elections show that New York is a progressive State and is a power in the land. Her vote secured is a good basis to build upou her vote lost is the loss of the battle to the Democracy. If they would seenre it from the start Chase is their man, and the recognition of the anti-slavery deluge aud its uhaugesis their platform. How will the Soldiers Vote ! From the Jf. Y. Tribune, Throughout the war for the Union, the party which received the vote of every oppo nent of that war every one who deemed it a war of invasion and aggression on the part of the North stoutly claimed the rauk and file of our volunteer "Bos in Blue," as recruited from its ranks, and devoted to its principles. A majority of the officers, it asserted, might be upholders of the "Lincoln despotism," but the men without shoulder-strap? were Democrats, as their votes would prove. "Then," we suggested "let U3 unite in so alteiiufc our laws, and our Constitutions, too, where that shall be necessary, as to enable every citizen who, during war, shall be ueoes earily absent from home, whether in camp or hospital, as a soldier of the Union, to vote as though he were at homo." Not one single Democratio Legislature closed with this proposition. New Jersey, Indiana, Illinois, chose Democratio Legislatures iu 1302; to their soldiers were not allowed to vote for President in 1SG4. Nearly every Republican State, with Kentucky and Maryland, then ruled by earnest Unionists, enabled their soldiers to vote in the field. General McClel lan was the Demooratio nominee for President. He long commanded the largest of our armies, and was for a time General-in-Chief; he studied to ingratiate himself with his soldiers, was kind to and popular with them. If he could not secure their votes, no other mau of his party could. In this State, the soldiers' votes were so cast tbat no one could say how they voted; in most States, it was otherwise. Here is the aggiegate vote of the soldiers, in every State Iroiu which we have returns: litatft.

In no year of the war, was the Repub lican vote less than three-fourths of all that cast by volunteers in service. Such being the recorded facts, we subnvt that the pretense of getting up a Convention of Union soldiers to oppose the eleotion of Grant and Colfax surpasses all reoognized bounds of partisan imposture. Not that there are so good soldiers who dislike and oppose him we know there are such; but they are scarce as white blackbirds. The bulk of the soldier vote against Grant will be cast by Con federate, not Union, soldiers by the men whom he defeated, captured, and paroled, and who have personal reasons for preferring such antagonists as Buell, Franklin, Fitzjohn Porter, aud McClellan. If Robert K. Lee could be Induced to unite in the anti-Grant call and preside oertlu Convention when assembled, lie would give it lespectability and force; but a Convention of Union toldiers to oppose General Grant is too broad a joke for the seatou. It was wise to hold it in this bounty jumping city, where all sorts of meetings cau be got up to order if the proper appliances are used; but the honorably discharged Union volunteers are almost solid for Grant, as ihe returns of next. November will prove. A Convention in 17&7 of Revolu tionary soldiers to oppose tbe election of General Washington to the Presidency, or of delenders of New Orleans in 1323 to defeat the election of Old Hickory, would not have been more preposterous than is the attempt in 1808 to muster an army of Union soldiers iu opposition to the election of General Giant. Secretary Mct'ullocli. From the N. Y. World. Will this gentleman relinquish his plane at the head of the Treasury Department f Under his own voluntary offer, made some time since, to place his resignation in the hand of the President whenever the administration could thereby be strengthened, and tbe known wish of Mr. Johnson to receive it now, It does not, indeed, appear how Mr. McCulloch can con tinue to hold the financial portfolio honorably to himself oy longer. Considering the length of time which has elapsed since he be came positively cognizant of the President's desire to have the post change bauds for press ing reasons referring to the public weal, it is not easy to understand his present delay in transmitting bis resignation; or his persistent asseverations that it is ready whenever the President is ready for its reception. He claims that his relations with Mr. Johnson are cor dial and harmonious, while the latter has in dicated to him, in the most unmistakable manner, that his presence in the Cabinet is a bar to the consummation of plans that he holds in contemplation. . That this officer can be iu any measure Ig norant of the precise views held by the Presi dent in regard to the matter can scarcely be possible after it, occnrrenc(,s which have trauppired during a fortnight past, that were conveyed straight to hs ear9 by those who caused their origin, and rUo ciaimd to b- directly acting in his interest at the time. Yet it is difficult to set side the belief that, there is a misunderstanding somewhere, an I that having been misled heretofore as to th President's real wishes be will, now tht h knows them correctlv. incur no further delav in relieving his official superior from the em barrassment atteudiug continuance in h'n olll cial household. The conviction that he will do fo is all tbe more strong from his frequent and warm proffers to aid the administration wi'h all tbe tneaus in his possession, his disinte rested wishes for the success of the President's policy, and his openly-ex pressed indignation at the late attempt of a Cabinet officer to re main in office iu opposition to the wishes of the Chief Fxicnlive. Though be has given the couvtry much cause to doubt his ability for the post he holds, we know of nothing which bilngs question of his honor as a man; and we are therefore unwilling at present to believe that his past professions were totally insincere, and that he intends to adopt the tao tics of the shameless Stanton, and follow the footsteps of that unprincipled trickster to an ignominious ejection from a post which it now lies in his power to vacate with honor to his sense of delicacy of feeling, however he may be blamed for maladministration of its affairs. The Modus Operandi. From the N, Y. Timet. Tbe injunction against oounting ohloknna before they are batched does not deter the opponents of reconstruction from discussing the manner of its overthrow. They consider victoiy so sure that they feel it incumbent ou them to determine how the fruits of victory may te most effectually seoured. The World remonstrates in vain. In vain it contends tbat when the process of reconstruction shall be completed, and the States reinvested with representation in Congress, the power of the Supreme Court to interfere will be at an end. Again and again it appeals to the decision in the Dorr case, and as a clincher, in reply to Mr. G. T. Curtis, reproduces the following passage from Chief Justice Taney's opinion: 'Under this article of the Constliution It r8tN wllb CoDKitKH to decide what Uovern ment is the established one In a State. For as the Unlit d Blales uuarHUtee to each Stale a rei ublk'Hn government. Congress must necei. neriiy declOe what, government Is established in th- Sla'e hefoie it cau determine whether it is established or not. Aud when the .Senator and Hei rehtntallves of a Htate are admitted It I he councils of ihe Union, the authority of the government under which they are apnoluted, aswtll as Its republican character, Is recng ip y,9.d by Mm proper rr nxMtu'ional authorliy. Ami its decision )S binding upon every ither t psrtment of iheOovt-r ineut, and could not be questioned in a Judicial tribunal." To any rational man this dictum of Taney wou.'d be conclusive against the expectation of help from the Supreme Court. But the Southerners who propose to dictate the Demo cratic platfoi in, and the Northerners who are willing to meet aid help them, are not ra tional. They take counsel of their passions, not their intelligence, and agree that in some manner, by tome means, the work of Con gress shall be undone. Through what arjen cis, and how f By white nerve and strength, say the iden t'cal fire-eaters who eight years ago broke up tbe Democratic party in Charleston. The war has wrought no change in them. They are the same self-opinionated, arrogant, reckless advocates of Southern supremacy who then demanded the surrender and subserviency of the rsorth. Jhus, commenting on an article of the Ivnes, one of the editors of the Charles ton Mereury, over his own signature, threatens negro disfranchisement by sheer force. Verily the Times and its compeers have stranpeiy forotten tbe o-tllhre of the Southern men they met in tbe lae war! Is it men like tht-xe. Hint are going to aland up dumo and passive, like yoked oxen to be driven at will by in cro slaves? To he dominated over by black bhiliarlans? to be leelsiattd out ot tholr pro perty by ignorant savagebT to submit lo an aimed negro militluT to negro publio olllcers aud jurors, and Judges, and all tne nameles horrors of mongrellzatlou and miscegenation? And, it may as well be said now. and may as well be realized now, aa at any future time, tbat Ihe people of the South don't intend tore main under negro domination. You vrlil nave to quadruple Ireiands for a hundred years to come, to bold down with tbe glbbot and the bayonet, befoie that people will pass under the yoke of negro slaves. The matter bad Just as well be looked In the face, squarely and calmly." This, however, is mere vaporing. It does not solve the problem, but on the contrary, darkens its complications. Mr. John Forsyth, in the Mobile lieuister, is a little more specific. Here is his statement of the question and his answer: "How can the white men of the South get con trol of their Slate Governments without dlvU- ing Ibe negro vote? We answer, by lguoring It as null and void, and 'a sum of villaotes' as you admit It to be Suck to your doctrine of Fede ral non Intervention; let us know that yoi will not, as the New Yom lime says vou will, send the army down lo settle our domestic disputes. i-iid turn Ibe scale in the ctnlestof tbe white nun wl'h blacK scalawags by tbe Federal sword.

As revolution, tvruui y, uud the twoii! nave over- lurutd our white governments, we will, by a bloi diths revolution and by the force of wnlte blood and wblte energy, reinstate them, and B"?id to your Congress the true and lawlul re- pr sent all ve of these Hiales The prce.-H mlgbt bd peisonally Inconvenient lo a few lulerloping foreign t-calau-HKB aud office holders under I be Omnibus wholesale manufacture of States, but li wi uld not cost ihe llfo of a h'aoa mau, or do ans hi but redound to his beoeOi..

There can be no misapprehending Mr. Forsv th's meaning. "Hands off" is the result he anticipates from Democratio success. He would have Mr. Buchanan's passive attitude repeated by the next President and sustained I v the roit House. Then, in his judgment. the course will be clear. The white men of the South will take the law into their own hands, overturn the new Governments, dis franchise the blacks, aud play havoc with re construction generally. A process of revolu tion, beginning with anarchy, is what the Southern extremists propose as a means of re saining control. Are the Northern Demoorats prepared to ratify tbe bargain ? Are they ready to help the Southern came by using the power of a Democratio administration on the side of another rebellion T The World avoids a com mittal on the subject, though declaring that a ter the withdrawal of federal troops the re. constructed governments will tumble to pieces. To satisfy the Southern temper, our contemporary ought to declare that they shall be violently upset a Democratio Administra tion looking on complacently. The leading Pendleton organ the Cincin nati inquirer does bo deolare, explicitly, in the subjoined propositions, upon which, it asserts,, "the Democracy are a complete unit:" "1.

The World protests that, "in case of a domestio insurrection against the Government of a State, the laws make it" the President's "duty to aid in Its suppression hy the employment of military force." But the Pendletons of the JJemocracy overcome tne objection by repudiating the doctrine of the bupreme Court, and promising to recognize only the governments which the Southern whites may set up by the means indicated. Says the inquirer: 'Kuril House of Consress Is the Ju Jee of tl qnahncHllon ol 18 owu members The nest ijemoei alio House ol Kepreseuiaiiven, iu c-e ol a content, will recuRUlzn, aud only lecoKUize, such members a come tbrre muter leval State Coiiblliulloi.8. aud tuat have been an opted by tbe frte couBtmi of the white people of the Slate." ' The programme, then, is tolerably well de fined. Northern Democrats and Southern Democrats are not very widely separated, after all.

Another rebellion is the price which the country is te be asked to pay for the privilege of electing a Democratio President 1 SPECIAL NOTICES. fly" OFFICE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD COMPANY.
