Democratic party, being the older of the two,, we shall speak of it first. Founded as it woe upon the great doe-. trine of Justice, and equality 'to all, it rapidly grew into a great and powerful organization. : Fol. many years, the his tory of -the country-Was but the history of 'the dominant party. Trusted, loved and cherished by, many of our . greatest and aqylest. statesman, it fuinished us with' Repreeentatives, Senators, Gover nors and PresidentS. , Constant and al mosthirivarielsucoess gave it:a discipline and enthusiasm which bred confidence throughout its, entire organization, and. sent a thrill4ef despairliroughout r,the ranks orits - oppoitents:. But long ao ciustomed power and undisputed sway gave birth to corruption and false doc trine. Its - princiPleh changed from those of the Declaration of Independence to those of g feudalism founded upon a worse than European serfdom, the absolute and Testa"al enelavA if nn ~•••• perpetual eicridavement of - an entire race. The slaireiokigarchy became the dictators of its platforms and the founders of its rtew • creed. Oppression. and bondage, not lib erty and equality, became its rallying cry. A few great men with great souls imbued with the spirit and geniut . of our institu tions, endeavored to stem,the downward current.' Their 'courage failed_ them ; they compromised and were swept• away ! Freedom became seotiorial, and - slavery national. Southern statesmen never .be- tiering in the equality of men, saw in the future a . great pro-slavery empire, and northern demagogues in the hope of gain and position joined with them in the un holy crusade against the principle upon which our system of GyVerninent. is founded. ' Th 9 history of the Democrat ic' party became simply the-history of the , slavery. Unjust 'compromises and- -hu-, miliatlng concessions weremade. Still more • were demanded, nntil at length the passage of the iniquitous and barbarous Fugitive Slave Law, and the border-ruf fian outragesiinflioted_upon the-free-stato men of Kansas, awakened the moral sensibilities of the Northern people. •,A new party, almost in the twinklitig of an eye, sprang into existenoni. In its first great struggle in 1856, under the lead of the gallant Fremont, it Buffered defeat. Nevertheless it,grew and flourished until in 'lB6O, under the banner of Lincoln, and Hamlin it marched to a glorious vie _ tory. The Democracy, long in power and unaccustomed to defeatovpre unwilling to abide by the , result. They appealed to arms in support of the —heresy of State rights, which had become their car dinal principle as a political organization. State after State seceded; rebellion be came organized in the veryhousehold of the last Democratic Preaide, t. The Re publican party came into power in tho midst of Denlooratio involution. It took up the cause of the 'distracted country, enlisted armies and furnished means. to prosecute tire war for theUnion:'.'That portienyf the Northern Democracy which did. 'not unite with their Southern broth. ern, with' but few honorable exceptions gave them , aid and noinfort.

The TVar does Bravely On.- The 'Democratic commitie in eT)mpli: - misee — with tlfe call of the dissenter 4 met at the Arbitration chamber on oaturday last. What actually transpired, we, of course, do 'not fully - knew: -- put fronithe setup of 'information that we have been able to Pick up — Ve are satisfied that an- Barnues"llappy Family," the ani mals were by no means friendly. Sitting at a distance off,' we could distinctly hear the snapping arid roaring of the larger beasts, and, at one time, we feared a,dirc and — ln iy conflict. The presence of their trainers on , the outside of the cage, however,' seemed - to have a sufficiently kiiiralltiug influence to prevent blood shed. 'The object-of the Meeting,. as we un deratand it, Was to issue the call for their county convention: That is, such was the object of these in the interest of the nomination of certain parties for Congress. In this their friends most signally failed and 'we are told,by those who pretend to know, that this failure effectually shelves them,.and throws all the proba. bilities - and prospects in favor of another party of aspirants. In the oction.of the 'committee, the Chairman seems io have been fully Sustained, mid, the dissenters consequently; rebuked. But 4his means settles-the - fieree-quarrel that ,is going%-on among the different candidates and their friends. Even should the re sult of last Saturday's meeting effectually dispose of the two teen in whose interest it was called, theii is a sufficient number ofr.6tmdidatesAeft to keep - up tlue.light, in its Bitterest and most violent shape. We hear all sorts of imputations east uphn flit , manner in which certain candi dates are conducting the contest. We are told that "whiskey and money," the great seducers of the Democratic masses, •arc, being-freely ' distributed by certain • parties, and that by this means alone do they hope to Clutch the notidnation. It certainly is too bad to use ate common means of buying votes in a preliminary oonl©i between themselves, and - may be of injury to them in the • greater conflicts with the Republican party, for, doubtless, some of them will become so disgusted that they will hesitate to use it hereafter. All we would say to them is, gentle men fight on, malign and slander each other all you can. But the hone of contention in a very worthless one.• 111 r.

Was it not Secretary Floyd, - and Senator Slidell, and. Vice President 13reckinridge, and Senators Davis, Toombs, Mason, Wig. fall, and others of the same class? In a word-was not every man whose,'nnine has sincolgeome most prominent in causingAnO devastation of half a continent, on confiden tial terms with Mr. James Buchanan and a wielder of his power? Did he consult with Douglass? 01., did he not persecute and fl-• riskily ruin, by wholesale bribery,- coercion and perjury, that greatest and most faithful of patriotic Democrats,-the,only man who if elected PreAdent, coul ifve_ayl3rted all our late calamities; and who must have been elected, just so surely as t e • sun-will shine to-morrow, haddt not been that all the.pat romp, and all the bribery, d every agen cy of - coercion and corruption at his com mand, were put in operation by the late Old Public Funstionary, to break up the NatiOn al Convention of the Democratic party in 1860, thereby "aiding and sueuring the tri .umph,of.Secession," as the Southern lenders thought4lhoped and believed. If the late Mr. Buchanan had "virtues public and pri vate," as sot forth in Judge Woodward's resolutions-or, if he Was "an illustrious sago '•atid. statesman," as certified by the .same high and always 'hitherto roapected authority,- , ---we can only say, "Heaven long protect this country from ‘publie virtuosi' of a similar chase . ; and may God, in His infi nite wisdom end mercy, henceforth and for ever spare us any Illustrious *sageness and statt3tmansblp' of do foul, so . cowardly, and 'so ruinous a character!".

What 'Mr. Colfax utters kr: fact worthy of the careful 000sidertition of every patriot in the land, be hie polities what they may. A DemooratiO victory was everywhere hailed by, the rebels as a victory for them. On the chntrary a Republican victory was always regarded as a triumph for the cause of the Union. Perhaps, this ex plains the anxiety of the Pemooraoy of this day to have the issues of the past buried and forgotten.

With the students of Dickinson College, as far back as fifty years ago, Jim was a great favorite, and did as much in the way of " polishing their under standings"\ as did perhaps "tv y of the Pro fessors of that venerable Instit lion.
