A National Party.
Tbo following tribute to tbo Democratic
party .tbo only National party tbat has
bad an organized existenoo sinco tbo old
Whig party bocamo extinct is takon from
an editorial in a lato number of tbo Now
York Times, a Republican journal :
'Tho lifo aud strength of tbo old Dem
ocratic party was i is national spirit. From
its earliest history this never failed to as
cort itnolf clearly, fervently, wo may say,
Indeed, fiercely, on every question in
7olving,tho preservation, or tljo onlargo
lncnt, or tbo honor and glory of tho couu
try. In our great controversies with
England .with Franco with Mexico, it
was peculiarly tlio war party most opt to
plant itself on high pretensions and ex
treme claims. In our domestic affairs, it
was tho party tbat always labored most
earnestly to put down sectional discord,
and to strengthen the bonds of the Union
Tho above tributo is simply just. His
tory verifies it, on almost every pago.
Whilo tho Democratic party bold power,
tho honor and greatness of our whole
country woro jealously guarded, and the
Union stood intact year by year extend
ing its territorial boundaries and enlarging
itsrcsouroe3 as a power upon earth. The
secret of this snccoss is no secret ; for it
consisted only in tho fact that the Demo
cratio party so administered affairs as not
to disturb, but to harmonizo, tho proper
'onstitutional relationskbctwcen the Fcder
nl Government and tho States. Whilo
assorting, with decision, tho supremacy of
the former, in all things whero sovereign
power was, clearly ceded to it, tho reser
ved rights and tlomcstio institutions of the
latter wero novor invaded. And thus the
attachment of tho pconlo .to tho Union
. was preserved, beoauso they saw and felt
its operation as that of a tolerant and
mighty protector, instead of that of a
stern, usurping, oppressive master. When
nil other ties that held tho Union togclh.
or, had been snapped asunder by tbo vio
lence of tbat scotional strifo against whioh
Washington warned his countrymen with
the most solemn adu ouitions of which
language is capablo, tbo Democratic party
stood fast, tho only shield of the Union
against tbo assaults of both sections. It
was not until tho only loss than treason
ablo work of destroying its notional or-
gamzation had been accomplished at
Charleston, that seoession dared to show
itself in every acts. True, somo of tho
lcidcrs oftho rebellion wero once promi
nent Democrats. But they becamo se
cessionists, not becauso of their Democra
cy for, be it always remembered, that
thoy wero "first obliged to betray tho par
ty that had trusted thorn," -before thoy un
dertook to turn traitors to tho Union.
This'istho truth of history ,and it will over
romain a triumphant vindication of tho
Democratio party against tho oft-alleged
and foully libellious charge of sympathy
with treason1

al spirit" which was and is tho vital air
of Democracy, is now, by tho Providence
of God,at the head of our national affairs. 1
How much of that spirit ho still cherishes 1
in his heart, we do not know ; but tho'
mpro olosoly he suffers himself to bo guid
ed by it in his administration of the gov

he accomplish tho groat work of restoring
tho' Union to, its pristino harmony and

Somo of the radical abolition papers are
calling upon President Johnson to confer
the right of suffrage upon thentsw nomi

tho President to do with conferring the
right of suffrage upon any ouo, white or
black ? These fanatio fools and knaves

thcrcforo will employ a Military personal

that was accomplished for wo know it was
not legally doup) and thcreforo bis object
was to conciliate all parties North and

we arc-confident would havo greatly aided

office very popular, or sccuro a nomina

the first, and possibly the only man, who
ever oecupicd tlio Presidential chair a
third limo. It would scorn that his tho'ts
inolined in thii direction or his friends
would not in any oaso have bet money
tbat he would bo nominated and re-elected
in 18G8.
Personally, I suppose tho Abolitionists
do not mourn the dcaih of Abraham Lin
coln any more than that of thousands of
other men who lost their lives in this war",
and whoso families are left muoh moro des
titute than his. In tbh wo might agree
with them, bat it is to bo romcmbercd that

do much for reconstruction and tbo futuro
