It aet forth the opinioo that the name “Democracy, ” had not only be come a synonym of disaster, but au offensive uuiaauoe with the manned. Not only waa the name oheolcte, and therefore defseMve; hut ihe pxinoiplee aud isenee whereon the name waa wout to rest, wore res judicata settled, effete, oUiduio, dead and beiougiug to a former *poch in American history. Gratified at this •videnoo of awakening to the roulitiue of the prsotical things of life, and stimulated by the 1h1|m* that bcuceforth one “Democratic” paper in U. orgin would have tho inonlimas aud iu- dcpettJoiice to deal with Boituj issue*, we hasteutnl to offer our oougratnhaiona, and to give words of genuine encouragement. But what waa our surprise when, iu the very next issue of the paper above referred to, was a second editorial explaining away the only |xiiut made in the first; and wiuding up with a couiplaiut that the Kka had tnisappruhciuled i(H meaning, aud expressing Ihu hope that the matter would be set right by ns! And lest we ahould misinterpret this last editorial expla nation of political position, (as wo did tho first), it was distinctly asserted that it really de signed to abandon nothing of the ‘ ‘Democracy" bat the namei The old issues - those res judicata aud all were to be rigdly adhered to; but the n.itue “Democratic,"—aud the name only— was to be abandoned; and that for uo better r.Nison tli iu that there seemd to be a “puerile prejudice" against it! Well, wu hasteued U> make the correction as desired. Aud uow comes another “Demo cratic" paper of still greutcr protrusions— published iu another State, aud which, if nistuke not, is recognized as the. l>enio- ■ organ of the Mississippi Valley - with a two column editorial bearing upon the same subject wherein it asserted that — “ It (Democracy) embraces au organization that is splendid in discipline and in numbers; but it bus uo common ground to stuiid on that is distinctly its own. It has no national policy which it pretends to set up as the rule and principle of its action iu every part of the ooantry.” Such is the opinion of the Louisville Courier- Journal, as given in words cf its choosing. How it and our neighbor of the Constitution will be able to reooucile the differences be tween • Democracy” iu Kentucky (as ex pound ud by the Courier-Journal), and Demo- in Georgia (us explained and taught by tho Constitution) is a matter wherein we propose not to meddle. We only uote the fact that, according to the teachings of the representative organs of the “party” in each State, Democracy means nothing in Kentucky, and quite another and a difficult thing in Georgiu ; and the same is true, according to similar authorities, with reference to any other two States of the Union. And yet, we btliuvu it claims to be a national party! The truth is, there never was a political party iu such sad need of repairs 1 It needs somuthiug like a dozen first-class funerals to begin with- even the Courier-Journal admits this. Then it needs new issues, a new set ol principles, a new organization uud a new pol icy. Lastly, it needs a new uutue ! In other words, like the Welshman's shoo, which had boon so worn down ns to hnvo neither vamp, sole or lied piece in entirety, “it used* a new everything”—men, leaders, issues, principles, platform, organization, editors, even name itseli!

More hearts pine away in secret anguish from unkindness than auy other cause. iih be just to all men and unkind to non*'. ill Kgo—Impel allfjr of llir We iiuiiot say that we aru gratified at the position of tin* Louisville Courier-Journal, in its ehdorsiueut of tho views long held by the Era, respecting the impersonality of the press; hec.iUMc our vo ws are right whether so en dorsed or not. But we are pleased to know that til*' disgustingly puerile habit of some editorial writers, in their use of “wo" where “1" is meant, is attracting the attention and eliciting the criticism of some of the leading journals of the Honth and West. The Courier-Journal, Speaking ou this point, ■ays : 1 Im most rigid impersonality should be ducted of writers using tho word ‘ we," which is plural as well hs impersonsl. It does not refer to the editor or to the writer, but to tho audience, groat or small, which the paper is supposed to*represent. Hence its impressiveness. If it referred to ouly one man, and wero even sitniily s tnodeat way ol saying “I," it would lie no belter than the first person slngnlar. Tho principle here laid down is so plain, and addrosse* itself so foroibly and |*oiut«Mlly to tbs common sense of every rational mind, that it does seem strange that sven the most inexperienced members of the editorial pro- ssion should be unable to comprehend it. The paper just quoted from closes its ad* iruhly written nrticle in these words, which we Ixg leave to commend to Urn prayerful consideration of all concerned ; That which thorough journalism demands of its sevants is that they shall not mix up their piivale transactions with it« concerns. - Iu like manner society demands of them that they leave tliuir shop behind them when they go abroad. They must stand on their own merit*. A fair practice of these simple prin ciples will save the public and the press a ( ;ood deal of awkward coo/usiou and not a ittle absurd misconception. A reform in the matter hereinabove indica ted, seems as necessary with certain journals and editorial writers in the Booth and West, as in their too frequent use of mere slang and denunciation. The fact that a man happens to be on editor of some paper, does not, in Unelf, mako him a man of sufficient impor tance to be constantly paraded before hia readers in hie own projrrium.

Without (he aid of legUlatiOtf, the oourte of events hoe so shaped itself ae to simplify the task of the legislator, in his attempts to solve the finan cial problems of the day. In spite of the great disadvantages of a fisotusHug ourrenoy, aud iu spite of high Uxoe, the prosperity of the oouutry has increased very greatly during the past year. This is partly due to the in nate energy of our people, partly to the re pose and confidence incident to tho election of a Republican Fresident, and the oouse- quenl settlement of disturbing political ques tions, and largely to the bounty of nature her self in bleasiug u* this year with abundant bat vests. Then the management of the rev enues and expenditures of the Government under the new Administration has infused new hope and spirit iuto the pooplo by show- fug them that eoouowy is not cue of Ibe de- parted virtues, that taxes can be honestly collected, and that it is not only possible to meet our curreut expenses without crushing iudustry by excessive burdens, but also to ap ply a considerable amount out of our present revenues to tho reduction of our debt and ol our annual interest We have been groping iu a cavern, aud could acsreely tell whether we wero approach ing it* eutruuco or getting deeper uud doepor iu. What We liavs learned MM tho new Ad- luiuiatraticn came iuto power is that we uro ou Lin* right way out, for we can uow aee day light. This is u great point gained. It is the best safeguard against tho numerous pro jects of dishouor now beiug agitated, for wheu the people sue that the relief they keek can bo found without resorting to repudia tion or other disbouorsble schemes, they will willingly consent to travel toward visible laud of promise upon the hard high way of honesty. Iu tho midst of darkness ami eouiuHiou, with the terminus of road upon which they are invited to walk wrnpu. d in a common obscurity, it might bo i>oo»iblo to entice them iuto the wroug path, but with the coming of light the opportunity ot tho tempter vanishes. In the fact that light bus come, we have much for which to thunk the present Beorelnry of the Treasury and the CoiumisKiouer of Internal Revenue. Under the administration of Andrew Johnson, b it our pockets drained for tuxes uutil duatry was paralyzed, yet wo saw uo adequate results. The tmmoy which was takeu away from us did not seoin to reach the Govern ment coffers How many dishonest officials aud kwiudliug manufacturers, distillers, tto , were enriched wo shall never kuow; but it is at least consoling to have learned that the evil, firmly intrenched as it acemed to be, was not iuourablo. Now it will depend upon Congress, at ita next session, to take advantugc ot the favor ing circumstances which uow exist, uud turu them tojhe best possible use. Two things may justly be regarded as imperative. One is to provide for the funding of the debt at a lowdr rate of interest. This probably depends chiefly upon the vigorous prosecution of Sec retary Boutwell’s policy of paying it off, and upon the adoption of some scheme of Annual payment which shall limit the time for ita ul timate extinguishment. But it also depends partly upon skill iu tho selection of classes of securities likely to prove acceptable or to meet existing wants; aud it depends still further upon the stern and indignant repression of every movement calculated to impair the na tional crodit. We regret that there are Borne men, even in the Republican ranks, iu Con gress who have been guilty iu this particular. It will be the duty of the Republican mem bers generally to show that the counsels ol such men cou huvu uo weight iu uatioual legislation. Fortunately it was proved by test votes last winter that there was n large majority in Cougress in favor of an honest policy. It only remains for that majority to net with vigor ami show the world its power. Tho other essential thing is the establish ment of a hound carreucy. If auy argument wan wanting upon this point, it has been fur nished by the experieuce of the laid few mouths. Tho property of tho uation is dis tributed generally among tho people. Tin exchanges of property are of hourly occur rence, aud occur in every locality. Yet tin medium ol exchange, which above ul! thing* should be unimpeded in its movements and universal iu its services to the people, is very large degree subject to the control of stunll cliques of men, who lock up o wise inauage for their own advantage large musses of tho currency. Tlieir ability to do this is a result of the vices of the system. Tin evil cannot be remedied until the system is chungcd. There will ho strong and resolute resistance on the part of those who are inter ested in the present order of thiugs, and there is danger that this resistance will pri ceoslul. But the evil is a crying ou*<. It is felt by every honest business mau iu tl land, and every mechanic and laborer soffe fiom it, whether he understands or not what it is from which he Ktifler*. Thu demand for a remedy is peremptory. Wo must have ■ currency which will serve the ends of the homst and the industrious; which will facili tate production and legitimate exchanges stead of ministering to speculation, nud which will subserve the interests of the people at largo instead of pandering to speculators and usurers. The Republican party has it in its p afford the uoeded relief, and next winter will bo its golden opportunity. By using this op portunity, it can remove the financial qm tion from the arena of politics, and at the same time, make the country its debtor for vast advance in general prosperity. By neg lecting it, or by yielding to the temptations which those who profit by existing evils will throw iu its way, it will not only court it* own destruction, but will open the door for finan cial rogues and charlatans to come in and ad minister the business of the nation. There thus on ono aide a glorious future for the par ty and the nation; on the other, disaster, ruin uud dishonor to both alike. It is impor tant to understand, too, that it is uot ouly the right action which i* required, but prompt, vigorous and speedy action. Delay will be dangerous as tho udoptiou of a wroug course. We trust, therefore, (hat members of Con gress will come here, when they do come, prepared to deal with this subject according to the exigency of the occasion.— \\’ishhi<jlon (hnmlcle.
