W notice that soine of the rcpublican papers have already gone into the funeral business, and have all arrangements made for burying out of sight forever, the democratie party. This is all well enough for campaign Ulk, but it isn't best to put too much confidunce in that way of doing busiMK Whatever clse the domocratic party tuay be remarkable fcrwe must admit that it possesses wondorful elements of vitality. lt has suffered dcfeat after defeat, year in and year out, and yet at the next election we fiad the sauie old party confronting us, plucky and gamey as before, clothed in grave clothes of adverse majoiities, which to any other organizatiou would prove fatal. So we say, do not rely upon burying the democratie party, thinking it will stay buried any length of time, for it has proven a lively corp'se upon too inany occasions in the past. Furthermore, do not relax your energy because of the prospecto. Our foe is a w-ily one, and if there be a gate open, a bar down, or a fence rail missing, you may be sure it will be seen and taken advantage of, however small the opening may be. The solid south will eventually kill that party if it remains solid, but do not flatter yourselves, brother republicans, that the organization has been fatally injured by the Ohio tunible or the Indiana fall. It will be at the polls on the 2d of November, and every nerve must be strained in order to give it a final overthrow.
