LITERATURE,
Thi Lifb or Kobfrt Owen. FUlaflelphla! Ash-
mead A Evans, N. 724 Chesnut street 1868.
Few biographies can be ao warmly commended
to general popular taror as the work announced
abare, and which has boon thrown Into the book
market during the past week. It is what It pro
fesses to be, In the truest sense of the title,
jnoet blographlds are Indiscriminate eutopics,
and many rise no higher than the unqualified,
fulsome panegyric This is a Life ; and it seems
to be strictly true to Ufa, to its virtues and to its
faults. A faithful biographer should be both.
Sculptors and pmntctj may immortalize the bad
as well as the good qualities of subjects the vice
of Clropatra, or the virtue of Elizabeth of Hun
gary 5 the bloody Mary, or Lady Jane Gray. The
highest merit or art is fidelity; so the chief merit
of biography istruthlulues. A biographer, what
ever his partialities, must be faithful to the life of
bis subject and faithful to the demands of pure
morality. In the work before us we have a good
illustration of such fidelity. This, indeed, con
stitutes one of its many attractions.
Robert Owen, the subicct of the work, was
undoubtedly oue of tho most notable men of his
generation. He was naturally endowed with
every romarkable talent. Those talents he im
proved by assiduous and commendable self-culture;
such culture as Is made possible by the
learning and labors of diligent scholars, who
rarolj got credit for being what all truly great
men are self-made men. To these intellectual
qualities he added an unquenchable ardor ot
temperament, if ot a glowing warmth of heart,
kindled and kept alive by enthusiastic humani
tarian" benevolence, or a reQnfid, indomitable
ambition, or an incongruous, yet inseparable
mixture of both. Under the pressure of such
' stimulants bo prosecuted business with untiring
energy; and, after amassing a handsome com
petence for private comfort, devoted the sur
plus gains with lavish prodigality to tho execu
tion of favorite schemes of universal social and
moral refvrm.
Thenceforth his life was wholly absorbed in the
prosecution of these schemes, in efforts to com
mend them to others, and to secure influential
aid In their general adoption. To describe
these sohemes, therefore, to analyze tho
principles on which they rested, to show
thcr excellence or their defects, to follow
up and report the various experiments
made with them, and point out the causes which
wrought the utter failure of thoso experiments
,Iu New Lanark, in Harmony, and in other
places, was the biographer's proper work. And,
as already intimated, he has very faithfully, yet
kindly, performed the duty. His sympathies for
the poor, neglected, and otten oppressed laboring
classes are manifestly as warm and sincere as
th3e of Mr. Owen, He' exhibits, also, as keen
a discernment of existing social evils, and as
benevolent a desire to have thoso evils alleviated.
But, on the other band, Lis judgment is not
warped by those prejudices which oncrql and
distorted tho opinions and schemes t the New
Lanark socialist.
To all socialists, therefore, and to such
as are disposed to look with some favor
upon modern Fourlerlsm, humanitarianism, or
spiiituallsm; to all progressive reform assocla'
tiot.u and friends of radical agrarian movements;
this book may be safely and warmly com
mended. They would find It a most interesting
and profitable book written in a stylo which
makes the perusal ot it like gliding along a
smooth, swift current. The publishers,, too,'
have produced the bock In the best style of
their art, and have made it, m every material
respect, a volume of which the American press
may be proud.
Bit 13 desirable that a cheaper form might be
published, which would place the work within
the easy reach of those who huve but few dimes
to spare for literary investments. We hope the
publ shcrs will find themselves encouraged to
issue such an edition. 'ty, ,

Il the newspapers reflect faithfully the condi
tion of aflairs In the Soutbfthe process ot recu
peration is going on 'steadily and surely. Even
thotc Journals which have from the first refused
to believe in the possibility of cultivating cotton
without negro labor slave labor at that not
only confess that white labor may be made
available, but that the "demoralized" slaves
themselves are inclined to return to work with
a will since they are satlbfied that their freedom
is a reality,
. From the Southwest the reports are particu
larly ei couraging. In Texas labor was perhaps
less disorganized than in auy of the Cotton
States, ana lor this very reason the transition to
the new status was in some respects mora dilli-
cult. The planters had not experienced so lully
the sullcriugs of war, and therefore found it
harder to make up their minds to the final ?acrl
rice which wus submitted to elsewhere- as a Bheer
necessity; but under the jud cious inauaseuieut
of General Crepory the crisis has been met and
safely patsed. A letter troni our special corres
pondent, published a day or two since, made
vorne Interesting statements upon this point,
which the Texas journals lully sustain. Letters
from the interior ot the State, published in tho
Houston and Galveston papers, give positive
proof that everywhere the planters are accom
plishing far more than they had anticipated
umlt-r the new system. ,
The negroes are working more cheerfully than
ever bbtore, and tnoae planters whose foolish
prejudices led them to ret use to have anything
10 no with their emancipated slaves, have'ioriu
nately succeeded, to a reat extent, In securing
white labor from the jmtnir'uiU who have been
moving down from Missouri, from Arkansas,
aurt trom the eastward Southern Slates. All
through tho tertile Brazos Valley new lands are
beiue opened, lor nearly every acre of old land
is under cultivation, and cotton U being planted
on a larerer scale than ever before. In fact, such
a Lreaoth of land has been given to tho staple
tbut tears ie expressed in some quarters lest
the corn planted may not produce a sufficient
supply lor Immediate wants.
Tho same hopeful story is told of the South
western Cotton Sttites euit of the. Mississippi.
TlQ New Orleans Frice Current, which was re
cognized before the war as the authority upon
the cotton question, clung lor somo months,
with all the tenacity of an old prejudice, to the
belief that the cultivation of cotton without
elave labor would be virtually an impossibility,
and that for the present season, at least, tUe
world must be content with an1miculficautcrop
from tho South. In its issue of the 10th inot.
this theet con eases that the year has opened
much more auspiciously than it d 11 rod anticipate
a few weeks since, liiasin itch a the neirroes in
Louisiana and the neifcliboru.g States have lately
f xbiMtod a general disposition to obtain homes
on plantations, and to return to labor. 80 mo

Interest in the crop. v
Tbe Mlcstislppt papers tells substantially tbe
same stoiy. From the northern part of the State
the planters almost unanimously report them
selves inpgulne of making fair crops with the
freedmcn they have employed; and th Colum
bus (Mlfs.) Index, as an illustration of what may
be done by moral suasion, tells of one planter
who,' "by treating his freedmen with kindness
and forbearance, has kept with him fifty or sixty
hand since Christmas;'' not one of them show
ing any desire to leave the plantation for a day.
From Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, and
North Carolina, such ravorable reports as these
could hardly bfl expected, since those States
have comparatively but recently boon dollvcred
from the presence of our armies, and yet the
accounts which come to us from that section are
quite encouraging.
Let it be remembered, moreover, that these
statements are not from oorrespondents who are
travelling rapidly from point to point, and who
can observe at the best but superficially, while
various influences ot which they may themselves
be unconscious are operating to color their
account. The reports that we have hastily
summed up are made by journals most of whioh
have aealn cowo unddr tho control of their
former proprietors and editors, who are, at tho
best, unwilling witnesses, and who write as they
do because the facts cannot be any longer
denied. To be sure, some of tbese papers tell us
that there are manv sections of the country that
have lost halt or three-fourths' of their negro
population, but they acKnowledgo that, in ac
cordance with the Inevitable operations of th
law of supplv and demand, white laborers are
gradually finding their way to these points, and
in time will more than make good every defi
ciency. It will not do to infer, however,' because this
recuperative procc-l is'progressing so satisfacto
rily, that the yield of cotton will at once equal
that of the prosperous years before the war.
Ibis could not reasonably be anticipated. Be
sides the reduced amount of labor, there are
very many contiucencles, which may almost be
called certainties, that will prevent this.
Northern men who have gone Soutb, sancuine
of making themselvs rich in a single season,
will piobabl.y plant three or lour rimes a much
cotton as they can cultivate or pick. Then, as
the New Orleans Price Current says, tho negroes
may ctop labor at one or at another critical
period, and thus neutralize entirely all that
they have accomplrshod. But wnetber the crop
finally gathered sha.l be one million or two
million bales, there is now every reason to be
lieve that the Soutn will pass safely throuchthe
terrible crisis that it so suddenly precipitated
upon itself, and tbat a second or third season at
the latest will see its labor system reorganized
upon tbe free basis, with the negroes steadily
gaining a consciousness of the fact that thev are
no longer slaves, but men, while here and there
all through the South there will bo little com
munities of white laborers and ol Northern men,
which shall infuse a more vigorous element into
the povlety of which they are to becomo a com
ponent part, .
The Russian Telegraph and the Russian
Alliance.
From the lit raid.
We are glad to psreeive that the House reso
lution Sttroducod by Mr. Banks Instructing the
Secretary of tbe Navy to detail a steam vessel to
assist in the construction of the Russo-Amencan
telegraph by way ot Behrlng's Strait lias been
adopted by the Senate. It is of material interest
to this country that we should have telegraphic
communication with Europe, and inasmuch as
the Itussian scheme of Mr. Collins is the .most
likely to be immediately carried out, it is mani
testly.due to the Russian Government, which haj
Illiberally sustained It, that the United States
should afford every facility for its accomplish
ment. There exists also a st ong political rea
son why Russia should have our co-operation in
this project.
Russia, of all nations in Europe, is the most
consistent friend ot this country; we may say the
only oue that in our hour of trial stood firm aud
eteadlast, tbe most honest observer of inter
national law without permitting kinks or quib
bles to interfere with its lair Interpretation. , We
gave material aid to the Atlantic telegraph enter
prise by sending the Niagara to assist in laying
the first cablewhich was designed to connect
this country with England a nation which we
have no reason to recard as over friendly to us
during our late war. In tnis view we do not see -
but that it Is vastly more to our advantage to
have a telegraphic connection established
through Russia than through either England or
France.
The late demonstration in Moscow, whore the
American Minister and Secretary of Legation
were entertained at a great banquet by tbe
Corporation ot Merchant, was but an incidental
expression ot real sentiment's entertained by the
Russian people towards this country; and the
language used on that occasion Is all the more
significant because it comes from the representa
tives of the commercial element of the central
mercantile city of the Russian empire.
Mutual commercial interests, as well as the
political analogy ' which in a measure exists
between the two countries, are tho lluks that
biad them together, aud have created a seem
ingly anomalous unlou between a republic and
an autocracy, at which the London Turns sneers
as a curious evidence of extremes meeting, but
which one of tho speakers at the Moscow ban
quet very aptly explains by the trulun that the
love of the strong tor the strong is both natural
and profitable; a tentiment which our Minister,
Mr. Clay, adopts whsrn he sa.y'3 of Russia and
America "that both of . us have jiothinsr to be
ashamed ot in the past, and nothing to fear ia
the future."
A variety or circumstances have drawn the
great Russian empire very closely into alliance
w ith, our people, and the establifhrnent of tele
graphic communication will tend greatly to
strengthen tho' connection. Tbe Czar should
not loose an opportunity of still mote firmly
cementing this epoutaneotio alliance by the exer
cise ot better judgment m selecting the repre
bcntatives ot his Government in this couutry.
He has boon untortunate heretofore in ttie class
ot men wbo have represented Russian interests
here. It is not because R isela has to bear t5e
traditionary reputation of barbarism that she
snouia oe represented auroaa oy ourbarmus.
Society, which recognizes tne force of such sen-
siments as we rind embraced in some ot the
toasts at tbe Moscow banquet such as "The
progress of educacion and enlightenment in
c.ir commercial classes," and "Tho improve
ment of the moral and lntel'ectunl condition of
tbe mill bunds" cannot be regarded as one ot'
tbe elements of a barbarous nation.
The Tress and Politicians of the Soutb A
Word ol Advice.
From the Herald, ,
Loyalty. This is the word which we would
now commend to the earnest consideration of
the press and politicians ot the South. The
recent suspension of the Richmond JOkaminer by
order of General Grant was a timely warning
agalnbt a mischievous movement to turn the
elements of the Rebellion into a social combina
tion against "Yankees" and Unionists of all sorts
in any way identified with the Union - cause in
the ute war. Tbe inevitable results of such a
Southern social organization, if tolerated, would
Meat all attempts at political reconciliation and
harmony between the North and the South be
tween the Government and the Southern States
and between the Unionists and Rubols, and
the whites and blacks, from Virginia to Texas.
Tbe fire-eating journals and politicians 01 the
South, with very few exceptions, have yet to
learn that their Southern Confederacy hits been
destroyed; that ah honest submission to the con
sequences of the war requires an honest reoog
iiitiou of tho Union, tbe powers that bo, and the
new order of things; and that a social war
against Union soldiers, citizens, visitors, or eml
cran's, is a foolish and suicidal game to any
Southern community.
' Tbe magnanimous policy of Southern restora-
Hon adopted by Fresldent Johnson calls for
sotnethintr bettor than noisy professions of up-
Sort and active movement of. hostility trom
outhern journals and political leadors. Since
tbe war, as before the war, they have been, as a
rule, playing into tbe bands ot the radical revo
lutionary faction of the North, in their efforts to
kep alive the embers of the Rebellion. Now, if
tbese leaders and organs of Southern pubi c
opinion wish to help themselves, their neigh
bors, and their respective States In getting back
into Congress, they will prova by their works
and their counsels honcolorward tbat they are
entitled to that generous forbearance and con
fidence manifested towards them by the A mi ti
tration. Tho masses of tho Southern people
must no lonrer be misrepresented and piaoed in
a false position by their leading orators and
newspaper organs. These Southern leaders and
orcar.s must chanie their tactics, and cease to
furnioh political capital to Thaddeus Stevens, if
iney are honest in ineir proiessions 01 grauuiae
tovsrds l'resident Johnson. The wasroner who
prayed to Hercules to help htm out of the mud
was required first to put his own shoulder to tne
wncci.
Tbe Irrepressible Conflict.
From the Tribune,
The essence of the late Rebellion was an as
sumption that one race of men are born booted
and spurred by the grace of God to ride, and
another with bent backs and hoof-like hands' to
be ridden that the wise and strong, because of
their wisdom and strength, have a right to do
as they will with the w eak and simple. As A.
II. Stephens well said, slavery, the incldont or
accident of other Scales, was the corner-stone
of the Southern Confederacy that but for which
tbat Confederacy had never been. Hence, every
Torv. evcrv Reactionist, in either hemisphere
every upuo'Oer of the divine right of kingcraft
or or pnestcrait was a Rebel sympathizer oy
instinct: while every republican, every socialist.
in tbe Old World, was a cuampion of tho Union
cause. Men ao not wait to reason out such alt-
feiences the Kintr of Dahomey, bad be beeu
seasonably apprized of our quarrel, would have
iovliilly spared bis brother Jeff, a legion or His
most bloodthirsty Amazons to fight for
their common cause, though he detests and sup
presses all secessions and rebellions In his own
domain. Tbe higher law of elective affinity
would make nim tolerant ot treason and revolu
tlon. when their aim is the conservation of the
topple and the auction-block tor beings made in
tne imaee 01 uoo.
It is impossible not to see in the recent utter
ancts of our President a doirrmination to make
war on tho advocates of humaa equality belore
tbe law. It be had said to the black delegation.
"Your people must wait. Educate your children;
seek knowledge; be industrious; be frugal; be
thrifty, and you will ultimately attsln all you
desire; but prejudice is strong, and you must
n6t expect everything done at once" we should
nave leit mat what tie said was reasonapie, and
counselled acquiescence. So, it ho bad said to
Congress, "There are some provisions in your
treedmen s Uureau Dtn wntcn seem tome un
warranted and pernicious: allow me to desie
nate them, and to solicit their modification"
we should have urgd compliance with his re
quirements, even though we could not deem
them Intrinsically sound.
But h's veto mepsaaffis a declaration of war-
it can mean nothing else. It was not intended
to convince out to doty coneress. There wa
not a Ci pperhead, not a Rebel in America who
did not, on reading it, say, "This is the man for
us he taiKs just as we imas. and icei." we are
con bdent that it will evoke letters of approba
tion from Rebel fugutives in Europe, Mexico.
and Biasul that some of them will even offer to
return whenever assured tnnt "the President's
policy" is destined to prevail. John Surratt may
not et lie ready to condescend bo l&r; but he
will surelv feel that he has not perilled life and
incurred the pains of eile in vain.
When we ask the right of suffrage for the
blflckp, we are told that they are too ignorant
and oearaaea to vote; wncn we asK that provi
slon be made for educatlns tbem, the reply Is.
that we surely cannot deem them in uch crying
need of education, since we consider them quali
fied to vote. Such is the vicious circle wherein
their rights are denied and their prayers for
justice derided.
Aeain: let us suppose the people of the United
States to be thirty-ono millions, whereof sixteen
millions side with us, and fifteen millions with
the negro-haters. They stifle the voice of three
to four millions ot us, and say, "Don't you see
that you are a weak minority? You have
scarcely a party in ten or twelve States" tbe
fact boins that we are a maioritv in most of
them; and tbat most of us are suppressed and
nuinneo. Ana tnis in tne aousea nam or de
'mocracv!
Of course, the natural presumption is that all
who would sell tbeir souls to keep aud thoio
who would sell them to get office, piling upon
one hunery party, can secure it a present pre
dominance. What if they do? With power
conies responsibility. With action, differ
ence. A blended Copperhead and Rebel ascen
dancy, thinly veneered wtlr otiice holding and
oiuce-Boeking unionism, could not beip assail
Ine the national debt, disturbing the Safeguards
ot our national Industry, and many otker things
cnuully provocative of resistance. Ihe new
alliance, now being solemnized by salvos of
artillery, can have but a short and stormy life
at best; but give it power, and it cannot lail to
explode nV force ot inherent repulsion.
We are of those who would gladly have ac
cepted an installment 01 justice lor the ireed-
men, and waited for more to a more favorable
season. But, since we are driven to the alterna
tive, we choose to claim full justice rather than
acquiesce m its absolute, flat denial. It has
been proved, at a tearful cost, that slavery and
libeitv cannot peacefully co-exist that oao or
the other must give way. It is now to be proved
that tbe systematic degradation ot a race pre
cludes tho general education of any race, and
involves tne perpetuation 01 indolence, untunrt,
and barbarism lor all. If we. as a people, need
more lessons to make us wholly and nobly just,
we snail receive tnein nno pay lor tuem.
Dark hours are probably at hand; let none for-
sret ne way was cleared lor the policy ot eman
cipation by the want of hert and uusuccess of
McClellan, Buell, aud their kind, rather than by
the. courage, ability, devotion, and triumphs ot
Grunt, Sherman, and Sheridau. So, though
whatever of disaster and discouragement may
no Before us, let us never doubt tbat the Re
public is movinor maiestically forward to uni
versal luhtice and universal freedom. '
' Party Aspects of the Veto.
Fron the Wor d.
The veto of the Freedirien'j Bureau bill has in
fact though probably not in intention given
the coup de grace to tho Kepublicun party. Pre
sident Johnson was elected by that party, but he
never belonged to it. In 1850 he supported Mr.
Buchanan. ' In 1860 he acted with the extreme
opponents of Mr. Lincoln. When the South
seceded, be recanted no principle be had ever
held, but avouched the robmt sincerity with
which, as a vigorous opponent of ihe Republican
party, be had averred his supreme attachment
to the Union. At the callod session, in the sum
mer of 1861, he put himself on record in respect
born to the objects ot the warauu to rue rights
and position ot the seceding State after its close;
a record of the most deliberate formality. He
oflered, in the Senate, and persiitently pressed
to a yote, a resolution declaring "that in this
nsHonal f-mergeucy, Cougress, banishing all
feelings of mere passion or resntmut, will re
collect only its duty to the whole country; that
this w ar is not waged In any spirit ol oppression,
or for any purpose of couauorft or subiueation.
or any purpose ot overthrowing or interfering
witn tne rigncs or estaoiisnea msiitnuoni ot
those States, but to defend and Viaintaln tbe
supremacy ot the Constitution, and to preserve
the Union with all the dignity, equality, and
rignis oi tue several utaies unimpaired."
-Witn this record, Mr. joauun was, at an
earlv stSBH of tho war. nupoiutcd Military Gov
ernor or Tennessee; and, while in the exercise
of that olliee. b superintended a process of re-
cocstructln precisely similar to that which he
has foftefed In other Stales since bis elevation
to the Presidency. Ho was still Military Gov
ernor, with that consistent record, when he was
selected by the Baltimore Convention as its can
didate tor Yloe President. The news of his
nomination being immediately, transmitted to
Nasbville bv telexrapb, Mr. Johoson, in response
to congratulations, naiio a speecn, 01 which tbe
main point was that, by bis nomination, the
Baltimore Convention had recognized Tennessee
as a State in the Union, whose culzons remained
eligiblo to tbe mo-t important office in the
National Government.
The mimosa of this recital Is to show tht if
the Republican party expocted President John
son, to pursue any different courso from that
wh en he has actually adopted, they imputed to
blm a servile suppleness, a degrading syco
phancy to party, inconsistent with the character
of an honrbt roan. Their journals and Congress
men talk as if,' by nominating blm to the Vice
Presidency, thy becamo ihe owners of his
soul. But tboy selected htm not for his advan
tage, but for theirs. ., As a stroke ot party taotics
thev iu deed it expedient to sirens then their
ticket by putting upon n a w hr uomocrat, as
a lure to Uemocratic votes n safe stratagem, a
they supposed, since the Vice-President is an
oflic'al cipher, without influeneo in tho Govern
ment. Mr. Johnson, as presiding officer of the
Senate, would have bad lews po cr than is pos
sessed by Mr, Koster, its President pro tempvre;
lor Air. ! outer bas a vote, and can participate in
me debates, but a v ice-t'residcnt cannot.
When a Vlcc-Frc'idcnt thus selected because
poEC ot winn'ng to Mr. Lincoln tbe support of
war Democrats, is unexpectedly mane Presl
dent, what are his party obligations? Did the
Republican parly acquire the right to domineer
over nis judgment? to tamper witn bis con
science T to in.ult bis self-respect? to compel
him to turn his back upon himself and stultify
i'is wnoio por.ncai record 1 to matte mm a poli
tical puppet to dance as they nulled the wires?
knowing- what he was when they went out of
their party to nominate mm, they are bound to
respect nis convictions, ueiore inev ventured
to bandy insinuations of party treachery, it be
hooves them to show thnt be ever professed
party aiicctance. Mr. jonnson never nrstendnd
to be an thing but a Union Democrat. The
.residency is an omce the Republican party
never meant he should fill; and it the motive
01 the eiver is tne measure or gratitude, be owes
mem nine.
But supposing, to serve our areument. that
air. jonnson naa ever Deionged to the Republi
can party, and that it had voluntarily made him
President, how would the account stand between
him and it up to this time? A party President
Is a recocnized party chief, entitled to the cour
tesies, at least, it (not to the Influence, of that
posltym. As the bead or a party, he 1", at the
very lowest estimate, entitled to admission tp
the party councils, and may justly leel affronted
11 important steps are taken without the dolor
ence of consultation. A party chief may have
bis judgment overruled by his associates, but
they have no right to put upon him the slight
and indignity of ignoring his existence, or to
act in ostentatious oisrncrard or his wishes. But
how have the Republicans treated President
Johnson? They condemned him without a hear
ing. They held a caucus and decided on a line
of action opposed to wbat they suspected would
pe in nis message, witnout waiting to listen to it.
It bas been their chief aim to thwart him.
Bill after bill, on the most crabbed, ticklish, and
exciting questions, have been concocted, adopted
as party measures, and supported by a lull party
vote, without conferring with him at all, and
with an unconcealed design to frustrate his
policy, undo his work, and humiliate his pride,
Trrs is such treatment as no man of spirit would
patiently bear from a party ot which he was the
recoiraizea bead.
And now in relation to patronase. A party
President is under an implied obligation to till
all the offices in his eilt lrom tbe party that
elected him; but, in other respects, he is entitled
to the freest personal preferences. President
JobnEon, with unprecedented disinterestedness,
Has waived tbe privileges or bis position: be bas
tetained even Mr. Lincoln s conndentiai advi
sers; be has sotight no personal by-ends of any
description, xnc rcepu oilcan party, in making
him Vice-President, intended to sivo him no
patronage. Ie has exercised almost as little 89
they intended. On this score they bave no
giound of complaint, much leas any excuse for
tbe persistent indtgniry with, wnich they bave
treated him. They make a mighty awkward
ure when they foam and accuse him ol 1nti
ilelitv to their Tiartv.
it is a sufficient reply, that be never belonged
10 it. it is anotner Butncint leplv. that tliey
have steadily refused him the deference due to a
party chief, it is still another sulticient reply
that he has forborne all the vulgar perquisites of
bis position, wbicb be might nave takr-n con
sistently with party usage, un bis side, it is
purely a difference of principle, in which his
muit, 11 u ue a luuit, is not cnange, uut per
eistencv.
Cau the difference be reconciled ? To suppose
it, is to suppose the Republican party can con
tinue to exist after the public renunciation of its
principles. 11 tneie u a reconciliation, they will
Ido to nim, not ho to them. Such a surrender
would demoralize and break down their party
and W ipe it out of existence. But if thev adhere

the destruction 01 their paity is equally inevita
ble, xne same class ot voters to wnom they
appealed in nominaune him , tor Vice-President,
will follow his pohtlcaffortuues; and, as an effi
cient political organization, the Republican
party cannot survive their loss. When the
iiatronatre of the Government is used acam-t it,
instead of for it, the ditinteuration will proceed
upace. From a sectional party, It will be rapidly
reduced to a mere faction, held in contempt by
a majority ot tbe people in every pari ot tn
