The Democratic Party.—The Louisville Democrat, in an able article on the Democracy of the Union, makes the following truthful remarks:

"Whilst the contest rages between North and South, all is harmony and co-operation in the Democratic party from Maine to California. There is no quarrel between Democrats North and South, but the most cordial concert. When the platform was presented, involving the great sectional question, the democracy of Massachusetts said, unanimously, aye; and the Democracy of South Carolina responded unanimously, aye. Side by side, the Democratic party of those antagonistic States stand as their fathers did in '76. In one State of the Union there is a powerful Democratic party—not a faction with a Presidential candidate, but a party. It is doing its whole duty, under the responsibility of a patriotic party. Its voters are in the field for every State office in every Congressional and Legislative district. It does not abandon its duty to the State authorities nor hand over Congress to the control of Abolitionists, Fanatics and traitors. And, everywhere that they must encounter this same Democratic party. It is the opponent of the whole batch of them, and has the honor to be hated by them all."
