Koiae journals of lioeral tendencies and indepeiulent professions cry out for :i new party organization, to take the place of the Democracy, preteiul ine; to believe that tit party has be come, irretrievably unpopular. Our friend's of uncertain persuasion, those journals which are neither fish nor liesh, yet who presume to counsel a great, healthy, masculine, l!es'h and blood party to melt, thaw, ami re solve itself into dew, should know that their gratuitous counsel is not baed upon facts. They assert that the Democratic iartv is without in fluence and odious to the general mass of the people. The causes as signed for this alleged loss of popu Vii'ityaro the cotuM' uf the party during the war and its opposition to tin recount rue iion mc;is.tires. iut w lien these Ciiuscs were still freidi ami reet'nt, v.heii thev were most uer:i tive, Chioi' .Tnsticc Chase, the; ablest of the old Republican loaders, was willing, nay anxious, to ae icce;t a regular Democratic nomination lor President. The glowing coals of Lliose then burning but now defunct controversies had not gathered cind ers to cover them; and yet a Republi can statesman who stood high in public contideiice was ready to iden tify himself with the Democratic or ganization and bear its banner to victory. There could not be a more solid or a more elocpieut refutation of the pretence that the Demoeoatie party sinned away its day of grace by its course during; and immediatly after the war. When the time came round for the next Residential elec tion, there was not merely one but several old and trusty RtpubJican statesman who were willing to com mit their political fortunes and their reputation to an association with tips odious, moribund Democratic party. Mr. G ret ley did accept, and half a do.en other distinguished Republi cans would have accepted, the l)em- J oe ratio nomination tor Firsidcjit.

It is pleasant to observe the re markable unanimity with which the leading Radical orpins denounce the salary-steal and the salary -stealers. They are never weary of pouring out the Vials of virtuous wrath upon the j Leads of those who voted tor the in ! iquitous bill, upon the heads of I those who dodged the vole, and upon i the heads of those who took the j money and did not give it back, or gave it back private! v instead of pub licly. The aforesaid organs publish lists where the names of t acn salary stoaler, vote-dodger and salary keeper are printed in indignant italics and every now and then v.e have brief oditot-ials inquiring" why Lion.

When Tou lon was to bo reduced during the earlier wars of the French revolution it will be remembered that the key of the position was found by tiie veiling Napoleon iu a fort placed at the1 extremity ef the promonterv whicli shuts in the lesser harbor eif that e-ity, insomuch that the strategic question "Where is Toulon V re quired to be settled as th" indispens able condition of jil 1 sound military operations for the conquest of the place, and. considered with reference to practical purposes, this was cer tainly a question vastly more impor tant than a catalogue of the probable consequences that would ensue from not getting Toulon at all. As tne Dritish licet made haste to evacuate Toulon as soon as the "Lit tle Gibraltar" of Fort Eguillette had fallen into the hands of" the besieg ing forces, so we believe that Radi calism would lie dislodged from the high places of its power at Washing ton and throughout the land if the "Gibraltar" of its Strength in the present corrupting tariff were wrest ed from the hands of the monopolists who now use their monev jiowor to consolidate and support the politi cal e.rganization which upholds the Administration fi President Grant. And this belief is strengthened in our minds by the line analysis tf tiie Pica if h ue in tracing the relation of cause ami tfleet between the existing tarilt' and the evils that flow from it in a natural and logical sequence. What is the genesis of these evils, and what is their natural order as por trayed by the New Orleans journal ?
