Thts movement has created consid erable stir amongst politicians, and is bringing out a ereat deal ol discussion in the newspapers. The Republican, in a recent issue, speaks of the matter ss follows: Our suggestion of a passive poli cy on lb part of the Democracy in toe Presidential contest of 1872, has had and is having the effect we in tended. It bas provoked an earn est and interesting discussion of the subject in all its bearings by the opposition to President Grant's ad ministration. . Tbis discussion will ?o to ti e bottoiu of our political recondition. It wdi - reveal the whoU truth about that condi tion as disclosed lrom a point of vicwabeve tbe present parlies, and whatever tbe result of this calm and ispusdionate review muy be. u can not but be sV.ulary. At the very threshold of lbs dis cussion stands tbe fact that Presi- ent Grant is a disturbing element in the Republican parly, and that Urge and influent:! element in that party who will certainly either vote lor him as againet a Demo cratic nominee, or not - vole at all, ould wek-ome an opportunity to oppose and defeat tit nr., it they could uo so without placing their life lotz opuononts in power. As bolweeo Grant and a Democratic nominee, tbey would reluctantly opport Grant. As between Grant and any other possible Republican candidate, they would gladly sup port the latter, lhia malcontent- unli-Grant element of Republican ism is no HidigniUcnnt power. It is represented by Senators Schurz, f Missouri, bttDiDvr and Wilson, ol Massachusetts, Fenton, of New York, West, of Louisiana, Horace Groclyand Cassias il. Clay, Gov Geary, of Pennsylvania, Cox and Noyes, of Ohio, Trumbull and Lo gan, of Illinois, the Chicago Tri bune, tho Cincinnati Commercial the New York Tribune, and the New York Evening Post. In Has sachnsells, New York, and Ohio it embodies the better part of the Re publican party ; In Missouri, and, ndeeu. the wuolo W est, it embraces tha Germans and the liberals who euipoit--d Brown in 1870, SDd if it doei not inciudo the better part ol Republican parly in Louisiana, Al abamn, and Arkansas, it embraces tvn there a portion which, in point of numbers, at loast, discon touted with the iuidj proscrip tion ot tne JttepuDJican party, a lurmed at its progress toward cen' tralizution, and dissatisfied with the personal usurpations of tbo Prcsi dent, has not been able, thus far, to asEert its independence; it is held in Ibruildcru by a power which gives it tne narrow cnoice ot sup porting Grant, or "going over to tho Democracy; and while an honest Doom-ratio part:sao would easily solve the difficulty for them by tell ing tbem to cast their lortunes with the Democracy, it should bo re membered that au honest Republi can muy not nna it so easy to ac cept such u solution. Party alleg lauce is a powenui sentiment in this country ; and while independ ent tna conscientious men are ever ready to oppose the policy of their own party, tbey do not readily es pouse tho policy oi its opponent. A passive altitude by the Deni ocracy tn tne next Presidential cam puign would ti 7e to Lib-ral Kcpub licaup tbe ireet.om tvbicu tbey can not secute for themso'.vcs. They could assort their own poitcy, pro claim tbeir own platform, and nom mate thir own candidt, without any violation of their pnr!y oblign- tious ; and in appealing lo tho peo pie lor support, they would have an immense nigral aJ vriitiiv'o over the administration party, whose ad verso appeal would be rieycv.aarily limited to the Presidents partisans It, is true, this passive attitude culd invulvo a sacrifice on the part of the Democracy which tbey audit find it hard to make. Deni ocrala have a rizht to say that, their pritiCtplesaro worth onytlung. Ihey are worth struggling for, even in the face of deteat; and to with draw, as a patty, from a great na 1 1 opal contest, might argue a lack of t!ovotioo to their prindt'iles, and willini? to see their party disband But in answer to this may be ad duced the universal conviction a' rmng Democrats that our constitu tional polity can not surrive a re election of Grant and the four years of increased centralization that would follow. It is tbe Democrats opposition and the fear of a possible Democratic Inumpn mat causa tne administration party to resolve that lbo Democratic party shall not trt umrb. and induce it to resort to violent leeislatun and still more violent acts to prevent such an e vent. As ion z as the adminietra' tion party id confronted with Democratic opposition which is strong enough lo alarm it, so long will it resort to near schemes ofun consliulioual lcgislntoc, and so long will it uphold tbe Executive in violent measures of interference 10 muintniu itself in powor, and thus, even though undeniable facts prove that the Democracy are majority of the people, there is no assurance that tho party in power would yiold place to tbem. Undor these circumstances mtv not th.s highest patriotism demand of- th Democracy the sacrifice ndiooted Tbev would waive the possibility ot a Democratic triumph, indeed, but they would securo, in exchange, the almost certainty of a Radica Rerjablican defeat. They would save the constitution by overthrow iriz those who constantly violate i Tbey would preserve to the Stales their right of local self-government, by overwhelming the party of cen tralisation. They would release tbe Southern States from the bondage which they are held, secure to them the privilsge of being repre sented in congress by their fairly chosen delegates, abolish tbe semi- mtlitary rule in that region, iasug- rate universal amnesty, and effect the abrogation of all su:h measures as tbe Ha HI ox act. - Tbis certain- would be an immeasurable im provement on the present condition of things, and would rcscuo us from tbe danger of the still worse condi tion which another four years' reign of the dominant party would lead to. The question for the Democra- y to decide, then, is wnetnor so great an achievement isnotwortb so great sacrifice ; whether the mere possibility of a complete Dem ocratic victory may not be wisely exchanged for the certainty of some thing scarcely less satisfactory ; whether the destruction of tbe pro scriptive Republican policy may not be more safely intrusted to tbe ntuiagsm,4Bt of liberal Republicans, ith such conclusive and effective aid as Democrats will be sure to render. Many Southern papers, and such prominent Democrats as Frank P. Blair bave come out :n favor of the movement inaugurated by tbe Republican, and should the Democ racy be defeated in Now York, as t is probable they will be, it is pretty cortain that there will not be a regular Democratic nominee for tho Presidency. DEPARTURE MOVEMENT. The Bugbear of the New York Tribune. Connecticut Temperance Reform trs are threatening to imitate the miscbiovous tactics of their breth ren :n some parts of Ohio in form- ng a toirci and distinct organiza tion, with an almost certain pros pect ot turning tbe Mate into the hands of their most violent oppo nents. It is notorious that, if the Derrocratic party ol Connecticut secure tho Legislature, one of their first acts would be to repeul tbe Prohibitory law. In' the last Gen eral Assembly tbe Republican Sen ate passed a stringent bill, which was continued to tbo next session by Democratic votes in the lower bouse. It is tolerably certain that the only hope of tho Connecticut Temperance Reformers is with the Ropuhlican party; when they cut away from tbat they are ready to bo racrinced Dy tbo blindness cf over-ze: l?U3 men. We clip the above from the Trib une as referring to tbe action of tem perance men at iueriden, and in re ply we would inform tho Tribune that the Democratic party has ceas ed to be a scare crow to Prohibt tiocists in this Stato. Wo are well awaro that tbe Republican party has been kept in power sometime, not for what is meritorious in its pres ent issues, but out of fear of the Democratic party. Tho Republi can party has been nastcmus so fast to get riJ ol her principles, and bas roduccd herself so nearly to the level of the Democratic party, that truly honest men have httle to choose. Admitting tbo Democratic party is corrupt, is tbe Republican parly free from corruption ? Is the one rum party tho o'.hcr is very far from being an anti-rum party; aud since tho Democratic "new depart' ure" we can retlly discover noicaue of any importance to weigh-against Prohibition. But, we are told, tbe Democrat ic party, if in power, will repeal the present law. it was in tbe majon ly in the JUcgislaturo, two years ugo, but though pledged to do so before election did not dare to -do it. The Republican party, last Spring, would have done it if durcd. It it not true that tbe Tru mmi Smith bill was laid over by Democratic voles any more thttn by Republican votes. Wo have only to say that if, .be Tribune declares, "the only hor of Counecti'sat Temperance Reform ers is with tbe Republican party," then the Connecticut Temperance Reformers are w itbout hope. Con necticut Temperance Jovrnal. The Future—Work and be Hopeful. The Rev. Gilbert Haven, editor Zlon't Herald, Boston, lecently wrote an article for the New York Independ ent on Prohibition and political action. He look forward witn encouragement and confidence to tho future, and says of the Prohibition party : "Itwilput a Presidential nomina tion in the field next year, snd begin to be. That party demands State and Xrlional prohibition. It demands the extirpa ion oi tne aram-saup, me awi- isnment of tbe sale or liquor as a bev erage. It will invade Congress, as has the State legislatures. It will preach, Pray, labor, vote for prohibi tion, as it has for abolition. It will extinguish this curse from tbe law and the world. - - "Meantime, let politicians fight over tbe spoils. Wings and Democrats tore each other's throats in the meaningless squabbles of thirty years ago, only turniug aside occasionally to strike blow at the equally contemed and hated party of abolition. Tbe Tem perance parry win grow, lor its te cause is of God; and when these pres ent quarrels are as forgotten as those of 18i8, when the revolutionary work was fully done, or those of 1850. when the Clay and Webster conflicts bad turned into there natural nothingness, then sha'l it shine forth triumphant over a land redeemed from its worst enemy ; when no foreign lrquor shall enter our ports, or native distillations burn soul and bod; in hell- "To this future may everv Ch istian arm himself. Let the potsherds strive with th-i potsherds, while the lovers tbeir fellowmen ana own aear una band themselves togather for the re demption from this national curse. Under Gerritt Smith, or William Dodee. orJude I'iiman, orWillinra B. Sttooner. or Wendeil Phillips, them enter the next Presidential field. never to leave it untill universal Pro hibition shall stand by universal abol ition, the law and the state of the merican jicople." [From the New York Sun.] BRANDS FROM THE BURNING! THRILLING STORY OF THE THRILLING STORY OF THE NORTH-WEST CALAMITY. Roused from Slumber by the Roaring, Flames—A Terrible Ride in the Bark—Scorched, Blistered, and Maimed by the Drifted Brands—Swept off by the Flood. Yesterday there arrived in this city by tbo Erie Railway train a number of persons direct lrom tne scenes ot the great loreet fire in Wisconsin and Michigan. . There were nine in the party James W. Hunter, Mrs Sarah Hunter, George Marti ne, of Flushing, It. I , Henry Porter, Srmuel llillman, Charles Myers, of Freehold, N. J , Margaret McGovern, Edward Wallace, and George Blakeslce ot this city. All were suffering iron having inhaled tbe smoke, fumes, and ashes of tbe fire. Mrs. Ilanior'e bair (which she says flowed to her waiat) was com' pletely burned on ; ono aide oi ner race and ber neckband shoulders were fearfully injured, three deep boles having been made by the glowing cinders in the flesh. Ilrr hands also were covered witii mis ers. . Mr, Hunter's face, neck, and hands were badly burned. Mr, Martin's face was a hideous tpecta- cie. Une cneet was iiterany raw, and great blotches pitted bis left arm, shoulder, and pack. One eye is hopelessly ruined, and the othtr nnarocd to an ominous aegree. were scarred, especially on the face. nck, bands, and feet. Aa they al: eav. no tongue can U their agony tf mind, pain, anguish, and terror, nor can language or pencil portray the dreadful scenes through which they have passed. A TERRIBLE STORY. Mr. Hunter s story is at onee graphic and thrilling. 11 resided at Peshtogo with his wife and little child seven vonrs of age. Their house was about three miles irom the town, just at the edge of a strip of forest. There had been ores Mi tho woods and priwnc? for a week ureviouslr. and nigbt after night they bad lo sit at tne windows gaz 02 upon the gorgeoux panorama oi flame, smoke, and eparsling cinders as it moved along the horizon Very little if any fear was enter tained, as the course CT the fire seemed away from town. On San- day niht thor attended church in the villago. They and Martine, the hired man. retired to rest early, wholly unexDfctinsr tbe tvarful peril tbat was soon to overwhelm tbem At about midnight they were arous ed by the roar and crackling Df tbo flumes. At first they were almost petrified with amazement and fet.r The blazing woods seemed march lDir upoh them. A brisk breeze1 was stirring, but tbe strong currents of hot air raged to and fro with a bor rid Howling sound. Quickly dress in, they rushed to the yard. The sky was thick with smoke, and showers ot sparks were hurled hither and thither, assai.ing their faces, eyes, and cioihing. From the barn came a piteous chorus o) neighs, bellowmgs and screams from the terrified cattle, horses and Other animals.

With great difficulty and haste tbey were barnossed and at tached to a long lumber box wag on. into which a few articles were thrown, and the party mounted and drove off. An eighth of a mile had been traversed at a rapid rato when a sudden gust of wind drove a mass ot red-hot cinders upon them, filling the air with stifling smoke.

Tbe air ror a moment was black, and breathing was almost impossible. The horses staggered backed and reared with lunous fccroams, and then, with a plunge that unseated those in tbe wagon madly rushed down the road at al most lightning speed. All control oi thorn was lost, and tbe party clang to the sides of the vehicle keep in. On tbey flew, the wheels striking fire against the stones, and the wagon swaying to and fro from one aids of the road to the other.

The dread ful agony of those who bad loss children and other relatives, as well as tbo awful anguish from barns, was beyond discription. People, neighbors, were so scarred and blackened as not to know each oth er. Earned and drowned bodies lay here and there.
