WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 25.
Tne Democratic PaRTy.—The faction
_ which rallied in. the last contest under the .
‘name of Democrats die ‘hard. Ong would
think that-afver.the signsl defeat they suffer~ ed in that contest; alt who avowed and sus“ jlnahaeiaeiaien so execrated by the Amer.
~ jgam people, would hide their heads in.
éhame. “Witli 2 desperation only found
when hope is lost; the copperheads persist~ently foree their hateful tenets upon the loyle. We now hear of an effort to re"organize that party upon a platform declaring the right of a State to secede from the
Union. The dissolution of the Union is the
only hépe upon which copperheads can rely
for success. After “they had entered the
contest under the guise ofloyalty and-been
utterly routed, many supposed: that the hatred ‘which was displayed during-the contest for everything loyal would no longer be
shown. How opposite has beea the copperhead course. The journals from one end to
the other teem with abuse of our soldiers ;
~~ gut-wemen are slandered ; and men of high
standing defamed, for no other reason in the
Since the jeanguretion of the war scores
of officers have been removed from. their.
commands for Various reasons. and many of .
them are now idle b
salaries. The pay of these unemployed officers amounts to several millions of dollars
annually, Under the impression that a stop . an
should be put to this dead-head-system, a
[bill tins passed the House of.
providing that all Generals who shall not,
on acertain day in Februafy, be in actual
service, shall cease to be connected with the
army. Following is a list of the Is
whose names will probably be dropped from
the pay-roll in the event of the passage of
the bill. All of them are at present unemployed. Major-Generals David Hunter,
Ambrose E. Burnside, Franz Sigel, Samuel .

desire the overthrow of treason. We know
that there are.many men whe acted with the
heads who frown upon these. things,
‘but the leaders, the men whose ends can be
secured only by a preservation of the Demoeratic organization, pursue this coiirss. As
~ tarthe last contest, so now are copperhead
hopes ‘built upon Union defeats. They
. trembleatthe triumphs of Unionarms, The
thovement for reorganization originated in
” New York, and the call-has been sounded
_ Zach. Montgomery of this State.
The prospect of these men is certainly
dark for the future. They are blind and
exnnot discern the sigus of the times. The
day when such a party as that proposed to
be orgahized can meet.with success in the
United States is. forever past. The large
majority of the people of this country detest
thé doctrine of State rights. Itis losing
ground every day and many men who voted
for McClellan could never be induced to
join such 'a party. The men who promulgate this doctrine and sustain -such 4 party
will be despised by the mass of the people,
Such is the condition, of feeling in the North .
to-day. Does any sane man believe that after the South returns to the Union after the
rebellion is crushed, that the people of that
section will ever elevate to power a man who .
holds this doctrine which has been the cause
ofall the-wee of the South? The time is
at hand when State Rights, as interpreted .

populax:imthe South as they aré now in the
Nerth. As State Constitutions are amendod in time, the paramount authority of the
‘General Government will be declared, and
