There is nothing so effec'; ;u bring ing a man up to the sorntch >.. i healthy und high-spirited flea. Why vve Honor the Parly. Wo arc suspicions of the-nian who is continually boasting of his noble ancestry. To know a man, wo mast know what ho is, not what.his futlicr WaR. Noble descent is weil enough in its place, hut when a man has nothing bi tter to boast of than his pedigree, be has reached the bottom, and is little better than tho snail that looks up with envy at the stroug-wingod esgbj iu its lofty flight. It is nobler trrascend than descend ; to improve on the family stock rather than deteriorate. To fall back upon the reputation of our great-great grandfather to sustain our owu, is little better than robbing a grave to secure tlic jewels buried in it. So with parties; we honor them for what they are, not what they were iu days gone by. We see nothing iu Democracy but the shadow of a great name. When we ask what it has to commend it to our con fidence, its Tweeds and Gnrveys and Waruiouth, with their party plunder concealed from view, point us to its honorable past, before slavery corrupted its honor, or trer.s?n destroyed i'.s political virtue. Not so with tjae KspuD lican party ! **'? o glory in its past achievements, because out of them have grown its^rcscnt strength and nobility. What it was yesterday it is to-day, n liviug, moving power, exertingau?in fluence for good ; defending the nation from its enemies at home and abroad ; protecting tho liberties of the people; establishing schools for popiflar educa tion; reaching nit iu ar.u to restrain monopolies from < iicroachin? upuu the rights ol tliL" people; holding tho scales of justice between capi'al in ! labor ; organizing moans to to icyt tho pro duccrs of the West and the consumer. of the East, nud exact ing frtira iu ser vants an hottest at J econorr^iat adihlu iqtrution Oi'.tbc t-overnight Jfe-irjjiesv gunU aud Sufficient; rcn?'!);- wc honor'! he llepublicau party.

Tl rrc is a slight difference of opinion between Democrats, North and South. The hard-shells of th -South insist on keeping Democracy on tho obi Calhouii platform, while their bri?thteii of the North ss strongly insist ou tearing up the old planks and rcplaoiug tli tin .vith timber stolen from the Republican ; reservat ions. To gain a m w I aso ol 1 power Northern Democrats sro willing to uriko any sacrifice. Tb support the family pride,and keep up the pol theory ot "a white, man's government" South ern Democrats refuse to yield their old pro-slavery priuci] les. 'I ho Southern i sentimeut is honoutly stated iu the fol lowing extract from the Memphis AvalancJtc, | Dem.): "In fact the old Democratic party managers have been forocd by tho inex urablo logio of events to surrender erory ' tbiug but the name. To this th >y still cling in input of tho States. Their plat form is labelod 'Demon .tic,' though in nil, or nearly all essentials it :s littlo else thau a paraphrase-of tho Republi can party platform of tho p >st few years. As a measure of policy no objection can be tnailo ; hut to deliberately smash ouo partisan croed, filch a new one from one's enemy, ami then insist that, be cause bearing the old name it is still the same | Id creed, is to Bpctk mildly, ar rant hypocrisy. The doctrine held by A. li. Stephen*, by Robert Toombs, by JefTerson Davis, enuueiated in the Dent oeratie platforms of lytil und Iritis, by Bluutuu Duncan's Bourbon Convention which nominated Char los O'Cohor for l'residcut lu?t year, is tho 'ancient Dem ocratio faith.' It ij the sitnon pure ar ticle. All other brands are spurious ; yet nut a ?Democratic' Convention, North or South, now ventures to incor porate it >u a platform, li the oi l par tisan creed?as is thu f.ict?hasbeeu utterly abandoned; if to maihtnin a struggle lor mere existence it has be come necessary?as is tho fact?to adopt, tu so great an extent, tho Repub lican party platform, why cling to tho old Democratic name, espoeially sinco that, name has become so unpopular a* to bring defeat to any organisation tint bears it 1 '1 his is nnsw.Te 1 by a low heroics ovur tho past career of the ol 1 party. Hut of what avnil % They can not chanjrc miuqritiea to majorities. Public eoufidenca in a political party once lost can never be restored:" The i'iltsbur", /W. (Dem.) publish cd in cooler latitude, differs slightly in opinion from the above extract. It a ays : ??'1 he Democratic party has been out of power for twelve years. During all lb it period it has boon gaining strength , and but for the uegro vote it wo tl 1 at this ui-jiuent hold possession of our Mate and General Government. Com pare it.-Thistoiy ItVrhT^-r^cWfrn-Wi-t? ot its oppouetits, und ho kl gl'iSaf, tiU 1 what proof it affords of the honest tenacity of tho SC.id Voting portion of the party, the rank and lile. The Dem ocratic party is replete with vitality in every bouo and sinew and nerve It never can die while there remains in existence even a portion of tho Constitu tion fur which it can oontend. Wh n tint glorious old political party dies it ?.. iil be proof that tho Constitution bus becu utterly destroyed, and that the la.it hope for man's self-government has perished from tho earth." ? MBU? ? - ? Fanics. Panics, like extensive conflagrations, | ha\c small beginnings. A spuk bus within it the power to lay in asl.es the largest city. If fed combustible tnati rial, it soon becomes . 'ante, before which ir ii melts and granite crumbles into dust. So with panics. Words of suspicion are the sparks that leads to financial conflagrations. Distrust is breathed Ir on one to another j iustead of being quieted by calm advice, it ia fed by popular excitcm >nt. Those wb > have least to lose are tho loudest in the'.: croaking* over eomiug failures. A ru>!i is made to sacrifl '3 si ? k that is both profitable aud safe j it is thrown upon ths market along with fancy und Werth? h ss stock. A sense of insee irity si izes tho buyer, and the result is, no sales, or I ruiir us sacrifices of stock th.it only neede 1 the rest r i io i of c >u i 1 u :c t ? be worth more than ever. When a tire hre: ks out, efforts nie made to uonGuo it I within its Oiiciual limits. 11 ut the breaking out of distrust in a community i is the signal, not for united effort! to ? fiQd it within its legitimate bounds, ! or its suppression, but for a getior.il rush to Iced thu flumes by gossip, ill omened prophocy, or groundless rumors of so.ne in lotiuible calamity. A rum >r startb. affecting the financial standing of some bunk official. It matters little whether it bo true or false ; the whisper is soon transformed into a storm. A ludden run is made upon the bauk ; thou upon other banks, until the whole eommuuity is iu a ferment. If the banks have facilities for prompt conver sion of securities iutu cash, tho storm may blow over ; but if distrust it wide spread, money is lucked up or h?ld tor celt protection, and banks that are perfectly sound arc driven by sheer necessity to suspend payment. No reasonable man can expect a banker to pay interest on deposits aud keep those deposits lucked in his safe, ready to be returned without a niomeut's notice , yet men who claim to be reasonable act at times as if tho thought this to bo the case, Rinks pay interest upou money, because they cati loau the money received fir a higher rate of interest than they pny. They take securities for moony loaned. T J convert these into money requires time ; and those having deposits should be consider: te enough to grant it. The best tank in the country may be forced to .suspend payment ia the faeo ofnu unexpected anil unreasonable demand, especially if popular excitement has so unsettled values as to rendor the conversion of securities into cash alwo?t imp issible'. Panics houlu be stooped at the moment of their inception. Men of ability and judgmont should unite to quiot popular distrust. Conlidcuue should bo strength ened l?y every legitimate means. Doposi tors, unless they have good reasohl for demanding payment^ should assist, rather tb ? n cripple, tiie bank whose 01 edit and standing they depend upon, exceptional cases of tailure miy pejour at any time, but a panic, suoh asrocept ly Kwopt over tho tinauci il centres of tho country, ought to be an impossibility.

To destroy tho Republican party becatiso u few dishonest men have crept into office through its power, would bt as wise as tho killing of a healthy indi vidual bocause a few boils trouble him. The p trty never was more healthy than at present. The few officials that are proven dishonest are, to tho great body politic, what the spots on the sun are to the blaring orb that gives us 1 i_rHt aud warmth.

A good citizen will i euerally make a giod official. This is n simple rule which, if practice I iu the select ion of candidates, will greatly pro tect the public interests. Inquire iuto the private character of the mm who wants your vott*, and if you find him hontst, in Jusirioi?. charitable, a good neighbor, and n public spirited citizen, y? u cau snf Jy give him your vrto ail 1 support.

No act of disln ti-sty, or official guilty of crimo ; no questionable or iniquitous meusures have ever been condone 1 or protected by the Republican party. As sooa as known, an earnest protest has gone up a gainst them, and those involved have been culled to a strict acc^uut This is all that can be dotio. Individuals are liable to bo deceived.
