MANY DEMOCRATS. The Skies Brighten. A few months ago the great National Democratic party was nppaiently falling to piocos under tho weight of intei-tino feuds. To careless observers their coun cils wore seemingly so distracted that thorough re-union was impossible, and many predicted that thu old party that was eo-oxistent with our government, and that had bravely fought and triumphant ly cori'iuored all ils enemies from tho tnrice of tho Revolution to tho enemies of Con stitutional Liberty that bear the black flag of Abolitionism, was about to go to wreck. But, as the great l'resideulial contest approaches thu apples of discord are buim; thrown away, the clouds thai overshadowed ns aro beinij dispelled and tho soldiers of the great Democratic army arc dressing their lines to fight for the principles that they and thoir fathers have ever so bravely maintained. Tho Democratic; party stands upon, contends for and upholds groat cardinal principles. On some gieat questions there aro necessarily different constructions, otid matters of littlo moment to bo sottled. It is tho settlement of these minor mat ters that excite Democrats to contention among themselves. Tho dressing up of great questions sometimes causes the e eitemetit to run hiijh, but when these ques tions are attacked by tho opsilion it is then that tho less important matters are dropp.id and Democrat war tho enemy in-dead of each other. Democrats in talking about a eniiili dalo" for an important olliin never ask whether an enemy or a f.icndof Demo-! cratie'pi iuciples will ho the stronger can diilati) they never get into the important and unenviable position that tho lb-publicans are now in of din ushii.g whether representative of t'.i.ir pi iuciples, or noiiibwctipt will be thu most likely .to be elected they never 1 iicrafii:e their princi ples for the i-poibi of olii. e a 1 many Ilo- publicans are now talking ol'iloing t li.'y resort to no such hoggaily, chiblish policy ns thi ", but they mid know that h.i is Democrat from piiu.i.le, and ready and wiMiiv' to defend and carry out tho gicut principles of tho party. It is this tenacity to priti'-iples that cause Democrat to quarrel among tlieui selvos; and is this I '.ml unites them when the war wages hottest and their pi iuciples aro endangered.

Statesman. The Bates Movement. a aro tho go all as to his ho ar rangements Or leans. The an of a at tempted a Tho last tly Tho movement of the black republican party in fovorof Edward Bates ofMissonri for tho Presidency, led by the New York Tribune, shows how much more essential tho men engaged in tho movoruent deem mere success, with no matter who as a candidate, than the triumph of principlo which they havo heretofore hold up as car dinal. In other words it shows how much greater importance they attach to tho possession of tho spoils of power than to tho establishment of anti-slavery doo trinos. A principle of the black republi can party, embraced in the Philadelphia platlorm, ana held to bo cardinal, is "No more slave States." From the St. Louis Democrat, which urges tho nomination of Mr. Bates at Chicago, we learn as follows: "But Mr. Bates rejects tho motto, 'No moro slavo States.' Uo argues that nei ther public policy, precodent, nor tho Con stitution authorizes Congress or tho Ex ocutivo to discriminate between free and slavo Statos, in thoir application for ad mission into tlio Union; and in this wo fully concur with him. Tho policy which received tlio sanction of tho founders of tho Republic, and which fras carried out by Jefferson himself, noon's no defenco, and may dispense with eulogy." It is thus soon how completeloly the New York Tribune stultifies itself in tho advocacy of Mr. Hates' nominrtion, it having formerly cried of evey body who would not put his hand and seal to tho doctrine of No moro Slave States, "Cruci fy him! Crucify him!" What the men of whom the Trihuneia tho organ want, is power at any cost. They want it at the cost of an nati-slavo-ry war, if that will bring it; or of aban donment of cardinal anti-slavery doctrines if that will bring it. Havo such hypocrites and knaves cvor beforo boen known in tlie history of poli ties in any country or in any ago? Tho movement indicates ono thing, which is n glorious sign of the times; that those men feel tho necessity of succumbing to tho consorvativo sontiment of tho coun try. It was ut about the same time Sew ard announced the "irrepressible conflict" at Rochester that Bates wroto a letter to a committee in New York in which ho denounced tho slavery agitation as "pos tilent." It is now not impossible that tho pestilent agitator may bo set asido for tho gentleman who "rejects the motto of "No more Slave States I What a party is tho black republican to bo tine.
