In common' with the inassos of the people of Michigan wo havo been taught to beliove that ex-Gov.

The Graxt Kepublicans horeaboutn, as well as geuerally throughout the oountry, labor etronuously to promote discord in the Democracy, and a favorite method is by the sheddiug of raany "eroOodilo teara " over the sad fute oí the " noble, good, old Democrotic party " - about to bo swallowed by Greeley and his sinall band of Liberal Republicana, and bo known no m re forever. ïho vory faot that they should mourn rather thim rejoice over the fate they predict should open tho oyes of thoso hard-shell Demócrata who are unwilling to believe that any good can come out of Nazareth, and who havo, with tho Kepublicana, a holy horror of boing raade viotims of tho cannibal propeniities of Geekley & Oo.

It don't read very much like an obituary of tho Democratie party : " If the Ropublican party is defeated it will be mainly by the concentration of the Democratie votos, North and South. The Domooratic elomont will prepomltr ate to suoh an extent, that it will bo impossiblo to carry on "the Goveruniout cïcept by its political and moral influence. In six nionths thcro will not be a shadow of a doubt that the Democratie party has swallowod and digested all the Rudical Kepublic.ins that helped it, and it will stand forth, no new ereation bom out of the past strugglos, with regeneratod genius to lead on a now era, but frora inovititblo inward necessity it will be tho old Democratie party.
