We do not know when the prospects of the Democracy were brighter than they are to-day ; when there was more encourage ment for those who cling to the faith of their fathers, to go to work, with the ,certainty of success to cheer them on. Surely, then, when the " current of events" runs so strongly in our favor, we who believe in the doctrines of Jeffer son, of Jackson, and Monroe—who be lieve that the hopes, of the country are based upon 'the triumph of democratic principles, will not fail to do our duty.

Reverdy Johnson, United States Senator from Maryland, from appearing in the case as counsel for one of the ac cused parties. The objection was based on the ground that Mr. Johnson was not a strictly `loyal' man, and did not regard the sanctity of an oath. Thissontempt ible and infamous charge against one of the able.;Land best Men in the country, was made by a shoulder-strapped individ ual from New York, one Harris, who officiates as a " jigadier brindle," and who happens to be an officer of the ills, gal tribunal now sitting in judgment upon these persons.

This gave rice to some correspon dence between the generals, which did not lead to the best understanding in the .world, and when Sherman was in Rich mond lately, on the occasion of the pas sage of his army throukh that city on its return house, he utterly refused to see Halleck, or to hold any communication with him whatever. It is beginning to leak out now that Sherman's arrange ment with Johnston was made in pursu ance of the intfbruerimes of President Lincoln, delivered to him at the time of the interview between the President, 'General Grant, and himself.' This looks like"pretty high authority for Sherman's ,proceeding, and when Ralleck found this out he called - on "Old Tecumseh" to apologize for the language he had used, but General Sherman refused to see him, and very properly, we think, too.

AN ABNER Or 160,000 MEN TO BR MAINTAIN' En.—lt is said, in Washington circles, that the army is only to be reduoed td fowl' corps of 40,000 men each, aud that two of the corps are to be negroes. That would leave the country burthened with a standing army of 80,000 white soldieri, and 80,000 negrocti. It is estimated that every - soldier costs the Government $l,OOO 'per annum to maintain him. Not in depreciated currency but at gold - rates. To maintain an army of 100,- 000 men would involve, therefore, an annual expipditure of one nikundred and sixty million donors in gold. Is there any reason wby the - people ebbuld be expo:nett to continue tabear snot an enor mous burthent We do not believe there is need of one-fourth of the proposed:army. A wise and conciliatory policy would bring every Southern State into the Union within less than three months, and so firmly estab lish all relations between them and the Fed eral Government that we should not need any larger army than we had before the rebel ion began To carry out the grand schemes the radioallanatios, who are raving about Wended punishment and sweeping confis cation, would necessitate the employment of large and expensive armies; but the govern ment cannot possibly derive anything but detriment from each a course.

To eonserva Is to prettres. Widener define, a conservative, "One who aims to preserve front rifle, innova tion, pr radical change." Radicalism bit de fines' "The doctrin or principle of 'Wahl radi cal reform in government, by overtrain" or changing the existing state of thing's.' "Conservative Deinporat" is, therefore, preservative Democrat, or one ho seeks to preserve the time-honored recorthrhndprip ciplea of the party. A "'radical' Democrat" Is, properly speaking, one who 'incilinits to wards the revolutionary radicalise' of the. Republican molt sufficiently to give aid and support to Its war. A radical Democrat is more or less a Lincolnised Democrat. The nearer he 'approximates to the extreme .the• ory of the right of the federal servant to wage war upon his sovereign masters, the States, the more radiealbe is. The more-he is like Liticoltt, litunner, Wade Reward, and. all that cabal of war-begattipg and war-sup porting vagabOnds ; the more 'he is to be coned, and to the called radical. On thp other hand, the Indio wide)y he departs 'from all sympathy with this class; and the more firmly he adheres to the old ; doctrines of the Democratlo party, the more conserva tive he is. Ile is aprenerrer of Democracy —a supporter of its old landmarks—a de fender of the fundamental principles or self government, on which the party was first organized, and on which it rested in every captipaigu DI 1800 to 1860. These prin ciples were ever clearly defined. They , were never brought into controversy - in any' 'general convention of the ;tarty. They af firmed the unimpaired sovereignty of the States, and the ponsequent subcirdination of the federal government, and its restrictions within the limits bf the Constitut him, strictly interpreted. Under such an interpretation of, the limits of federal power, and of the sovereignty of the States, no war like this could ever have °inured. It is the quality of sovereignty (lilt it can have no master. It may have many servants—many agents of Its will—but It has no master. The conserva tive Democrat add hoLd'Unlo__Unamtgrand `pritiotF en. ' he war is based upon an ex actly opposite theory or upon the anti-Dem ocratic theory that the States are the sub jects of the federal government, and may be coerced by it, the same colonies of .11 mo narchical or despotic government may be subjugated to the imperial will. The radi cal Democrat, If he does not hold these pre posterous notions of monarchism, suppints a war waged in their defense. The most ; decent thing for this ltupporter of a war against everfprinciple orDemooracy would be to drop the name of Democrat altogether, and to go. over in name where he,has gone in sympathy and acts, to .the enemy . of De mooraey. -The radical Republican and the radical Democrat are one in 'action. They agree in the despotic principle which seeks to overthrow the right of self-government and of State sovereignty, by the power of armies. The conservative Democrat denies this right. Ile still adheres to the old Democratic thaory of the founders of the Union, that the federal government is the , subject or the agent of the joint sovereign ties of the States and can-lawfully employ no coercion, except that of laws, against the States. The conservative Democrat af firms the Resolutions of 1708, which have been the creed of the party ever since their adoption; indeed the party, as a political organizatition, grew out of those resolutions. The radical, or the partially tincolnized Democrat, throws those \resolutions over board as inexpedient, or, perhaps, as in compatible wild the revolutionary notions of the hour. The conservative Democrat is sn admirer and a supporter of the tunas mental principles of government on which the federal system was based. The radical Democrat is a wanderer from those safe and wellprovielt paths, and an adventurer into the regions opened by the agitation and the sword of abolitionism. The conservative Democrat keeps company with the counsels of Washington. Jeffereon, Madison, and all the fathers of our country. The radical Democrat keeps such company as Sumner, Lincoln, Seward, and old John Brown: or, if he does not keep their company, he lends a helping hand to their principles. The cousermative Democrat is a believer in truth honesty, and manhood. "The radical Dem ocrat is a believer only in cunning, trickery policy. The conservative Demoorat is a man of coinage. The radical Democrat is a coward. In a word, the conservative is a Democrat ; the radical is something else— wore or less Lincolnized, or abolitionlsed. To use a phrase not altogether original, the radical Republicans and the radical Demo crits are links of the cane sausage,' made out of the same , dog. They agree hi the right of State-coercion. They agree in the virtue J r necessity of thb Wst.

Those are the "extreme men" who have been drawn away from the time-honored principles of Demcoraey in the fiery *and bloody paths of RePublinan radicalism—into a support of its barbarizing war. Is ho "extreme" who stands fast, grounded upon the ancient and immutable principles of Democratic truth? is he "extreme" who can be neither drawn away nor driven away from the ancient landmarks of the party? Is he "extreme" who onn be neither bribed by office nor frightened by besides to for sake the fundamental doctrine of Democra cy? Men talk like fools when they call such men "extreme" and "radical." They are the true conservatives—the staunch pre elvers of the records and principles of the party. The fundamental principles .of government do not change. The policies, tricks, and cheatery of politicians clinge, demagogues and men of light moral weight change with them; but the true conservative idiliikvfast to the immutability of principle, and atande, like another Agamemnon,' in the midst of the battles Weed by the fiery spirit of radical madness.

Old Gerrit Smith has written a letter to the President, asking "mercy for the rebels," who, he thinks, will be sufficiently punffihed by the "abolition of slavery," and the ov erthrow of the State rights doctrine of Jef ferson, which, he says, must now give way to John Jay and Hamiltonian Federalism. ,As Andrew Johnson is a white man, and a representative of the southern masses, and has battled all laa life long against John Jay Federalism, this letter of Gerrit's is certainly refreshing, but the " Conserve , tive" journals are quite enchanted with It, and hold it up in honorable contrast with the clamors of the "radicals," Ben. Butler, Joe Holt, and others, irho demand utter ee -1 termination of the '• Rebels" at once. - Well, we must beg to differ tram these mild and gentle Conservatives, who ask for mercy, conciliation, and foEgiveness instead of scaffolds and immediate''extermination ; indeed. ,we regard the _hitter as infinitely preferable and cojigistehe , .Gem Smith is about the most atrocious and diabolical old barbarian of modern limes, not °Text except ing Nena Sahib. Thejivild Wrens, and other savage tribes were wont to torture their prisoners by burning them at slow fires &c., thus protracting their sufferings for days and weeks, instead of immediate slaugh ter, and surely this were vastly more cruel and diabolical than to knock out. their brains at ones. And as it would be infin itely better ter the ..ltebels" to be extermi nated at once than subjected to the lingering tortures of Gerrit Smith and his pbilan thropio" friends, we cannot endorse the spirit of his magnanimous letter. He only oaks that the State of South Cartlina be abolished and its people submit to the rule of Massachusetts; then that labor and produc tion shall be abolished from the Potomac to the Gulf, and with that, of course, all value in the laud, and filially. that. the white peo ple of the South "abolish" their natural su periority and go down, or try to go down, to a level with their negroisa. In a word, be asks that the people of the South shall cent mit social siiiicide, and he'will forgive them;' but Den. Butler ik.Co., in a spirit of mercy alt oat dttiue, prarmea to aavd them from these lingering and loathsome tortures by knocking them on the head at once. .

"It eaniiiit be denied that the debt of England upholds the English State, and that so firmly that the worst of devils can not break it down; but it pas also resulted in making of England one vast tread-mill, where the people must work night and day to fatten their creditors. It has made England old and gray with the dares of pay ment, and has banished from her every cheerful and every youthful feeling. 8. We have bought many victories— they were splendid and we ipit_ them at a bargain—they. were worth three or four times as much as we gays for them, as Lady Teazle says to her husband when she Quoins home-from buying—therewas much inquiry and a great demand for victories ; in abort, we could have done qothing more reasona ble thsitto supply ourselves st snob cheap raker with so great equantity of reputation.
