The Political Piospcct.
Jfon tlio next seven months the State of
rcnnsylvania will continue to be excited over
the political conflict which will take place In
October next. The party leaders will ba
marshalling their torces, and .their ranks will
be gradually filling with the good citizens of
tie Commonwealth. There can be no half
way measures, no compromise. Each must
be either with us or against us ; and now, at
the very outset of the contest, It Is well that
the doctrines for which each , light should be
distinctly, enunciated. We know that ,' our
opponents have no desire to show their hands.
We know lull well that the dubious position
in which they stand is such as would be
strengthened by a doubt. But what the peo
ple want Is not idle manifestoes or wild decla
rations, but principles, and principles they shall
have." The rules of the Republican party
rre clearly enunciated in a prolix and spacifla
f cries of resolutions. There can be no mis
taking them. The opposition have also given
us a clear sight of their avowed doctrines,
but the past has a record which need exa
mining. Let us look at their platform and their
history. They declare ' admiration for, 'and
taith in, "that patriot at the head of our Gov
mcnU" They flatter, tawn, and cringe before
the executive leet, hoping to get soma of the ,
crumbs which fall from the rich man's table.
But Akdukw Johnson cannot forget the
past. Ills mind reverts with, to them, most '
unwelcome clearness to the declarations of
II bist b Cltmeb made in 1803. Ha re
members well the title of "dirty demagogue,"
''coarse and grovelling b.ute," and the "man
whose course in Tennessee Is a blot on Ame
rican civilization." lib memory is too 'good to
pass over the ; accusation then made of the
man whose honesty they now laud, that;
"La was bought with power or love of pelf."
Wfco can wonder, whsn such were Clymeb's
words, and when his vote and that of his col-,
leagues spurned Andiuvt Johnson from the
State Capuol, that this same Axdeew John
son should to day spurn with contempt the
sycophants who came to tell him ot Cly
jiee's nomination, and advise them to go
home and change their man. What wild ln
latuatlon ever , Induced the Convention
Beekjng the President's' sympathy to noinl-'
nata a man who had thus sptfken of the Presi
dent, is to us unknown. It would, indeed,
seem "that whom the gods wish to destroy
they first make mad."

13 mat me uaiuuviaim wgaui aicc-uuuy iuu-
endoes and darkly mysterious hints, that
ho once did something in some obscure
skirmish, which they could, if thy would,
give to the world. But the cause which must
base 1U claims for support upon vague accu
sations, with possibly a grain of truth, and the
root a moss ol lalsity, must be most weak and
tottering. Let the people remember that
"A lio which is port the truin, is uvor the blacken of
ilOB.
Tiiat a lie which is all a lie, can be met and fough .
with outright; . . 1
13u: a he which m i artlv the tiuttj, la a harder taai-
for to lijjht."
What we want are facts, and we defy the
bitterest political enemy of the General to
adduce a single instance in which he has so
acted as to bring a blush to his cheek if pub
lit Led abroad. It i the contrast of the re
cords of the two men which show so fear
fully the laults of the Democratic candidate.
One has been since the first trump of war In
the foremost of the fight, winning honors
which no one doubts, and risking his life in
the cause of his State and country. The
oilier has remained at home, occupying a
scat in the State Senate, and using his official
influence to secure the defeat of all supplies
for our soldiers in the field. One proved that
he adored and loved the life and deeds of a
soldier by placing himself among the first in
the foremost part of tha contest. The other
cost Ignominy and shame upon the defenders
of our land by voting to deny them the rtjrht
of suflrage when on the field ot battle. One
has a long record of patriotic deeds ;, the
other has a compendium of semi-secession
votes, and these actions and these votes are
the index of the hearts of the two claimants
for the political honors.
' The Chicago Republican pretty well puts
the case, and utters a prophesy in an article
on the "Signs in Pennsylvania," when it says :
"But the great difficulty is with the ppople.
Thuy have no personal uulmotiity against the
- Copperhead candidate, but they cherish an im
placable antagonism to his principles. Tne
signs of this are already so conclusive that, as
we have (aid, his withdrawal by his friends is
' juHtly Tf gardea as alraoat indispensable. They
will naturally pretend that the Btep Is taken in
older to please the President, but in fact it is
Imperatively dictated by the public sentiment
of I'ennsjlvanla. To run him is not only to
encounter a crushing and incurable overthrow
in October, but to demoralize the party and
break it down belore the flrht month of the oam
n'ttiKn ht ended. Therefore he will be got out of
the way if possible, and some one who is not so
odious to the people will bo put in his place."
We hope that the statement of the Republi
can Is' an error, At the time of the solecplon
of Mr. Clymkb we said that his choice gave
as much pleasure'-to the Union as it did to
the Democratic party v 18 tbe maQ of aU
others whom we would have wished to have
been nominated; the 'man' of all othors in
whose record the most flaws can be detected ;
the most vulnerable of any leading Demo
crat,; and we hope that we will have ' tha
voices of all the citizens oi our State on the
taut between him find tlenoral, Geabt. ! We
have watched with, care1 the reception which
the choice of our nominee has met With
among the newspapers of the interior, and we
can say with truth that we have never socn
such ' universal enthusiasm; and now, seven
months before the election, we venture to.
prophesy Unit, should the two candidates re
main in the field, tho majority for the Republi
can nominee will bo the largest over rolled up
for any Governor of the Keystone State.
The New Dictionaby of Congress.
We are glad to perceive that tho Unit -d
States Senate has adopted a resolution order
ing the printing of a pew: edition of the
'Dictionary of Congress." The last appeared
in 1S03,, since which time great changes
have occurred in the lives ot many of our
public men. . The overthrow of the Rebellion,
the fate of its leaders, and tho records of those
who are now aspiring to seats as Represen
tatives of the rebellious States, all combine
to make a succinct history of their lives
matters of Interest. The addition to the list
of public men of many who, for aught we
know, maybe the guides to the future, or the
destruction of our land, makes it not only
1 roper, but causes the publication from time
10 time of a revised record to be a matter of
necessity. We have also a selfish reason in
its favor. It , was remarked by one ol( the
Senators (himself a newspaper man), that the
wcrk had heretofore been an indispensable
bcok of reference in all the leading editorial
sanctums of the coui.try ; and that, whenever
any of our public men happened to die, this
book was at once referred to for the leading
particulars ot their lives. It has grown to be
a work of daily reference; for there are but
few leaders of the people who have not at
some time in their lives held scats as mem
bers either ot the Upper or Lower House.
We are therefore glad to see the action of the
Senate, and hope that it will be made as full
and as thorough as the space and appropria
tion will allow; If all public money expended
on documents were spent in producing works
as valuable as tho "Dictionary," there would
be no cause for complaint because of waste.

"By heavens I This is a more exquisite
joke than the other." For a paper calling
itself a sound metropolitan journal to treat
the sarcastic little episode of Mr. Stevess as
though it were truth, is really richer than the
speech itself. The World insults the Demo
cratic party in faying that It will misguide
them into the belief that the address was a

who will acknowledge himself a Democrat
when the organ of the party thus doubts his
reason and denies him common sense.

ot which he now seeks restitution on the part of tue

It iiaa been stated that the Government would not

Gonaales thinks, as a oit'ien of a lorelen country ,
that so di atory and Injurious course would not oe In

moreover, is so fully able to protect and oorrospond
to tho losses to those, who, in consequence of its

ana,alo, it seems to your humble servant.iuai as our

to a reciprocal friendiiusss and even protecting care,
on the part of the United Mates Government, denied
to tbe Southern States the acknowludctmont of
their beli igeieuco that protection aud prompt set
tlement against loss is duo to the o liions of that

I beg leave to add that the claims of foreign coun

' The Baca Canal.
A writer In the CornMU Magazine, who has
lately visited the 8ue Canal, la filled with d.s
Dial torehodinits. French enterprh, French
nionej, French science ' have brg;im a frreat
niaritujne highway lrom west toeaai; a FreJnoh
colony has been founded by prlvit capita) ; ' bat
If ever again the terrtflc game ol war to slatted
between France and England, Euvpt 4 fore
doomed to be once more a bamo-beld; and this
being so, His but natural that England should soo
witn aiBatis'action her rival snatching a point of
vantage beforehand." This is the conclusion
arrived at by some jealous Englishman, who is
angry and discontented tist as all England was
an try and discontented when Franco emerged
from the struggle in the Crimea crowned with
those honor oi well-'oiifiht fields which fortune
denied to her ally. Now, as then, Frauce boats
England. ' ,
But Ihis Engliph wrttcr's Jealousy, which ho
finds a k'twiuR EnRlieh maprazino ready to ex
pices lor him, is really very ridiculous. Tho
successful progress oi a great scientific and com
mercial enUrprlse. intended to extend com
merce, and to brine distant lamia into close
cotiimunion, should enlLst general sympathy.
We are indebted to tbe same writer, howovrr,
for the lol'owing rc.ount of the present condi
tion ot Suez and the canal to which it gives its
name:
'1 be town of Sties has much changed during the
laft lew years. Former! . it was a petty collection
ol Arab hovels, whien ouco a wock used to be soared
lrom its ropiloty by an irruption ot noisy Euglish
Dion on tboir way to or lrom India Ana no other
buropeans ere ever seon. Now it Is an important
town, in which the French play quite as prominont
a part as the Knvlish. lhen tliore was no drinking
water except what was painfully fetched on camels'
backs lrom tho fountain ot Ghnrkudeh on the
oih' r sioo of tho rordn Maw the French canal has
brouyht tho Niloitsuif to Suez In tbe harbor we
lotird thice stt amors of the Aletsagcrici Imjierirt'et
and but two of tbe l'enmsu ar and Oriental Com
pany, the former in size and power of upeed looking
at least the equals of the laiter - By their side lay a
transport oi tho Imperial Government, waitmg to
take l iencli troops to Cochin, t hlnaj lor Saiiron,
be it understood, recoives all Its rcin'orcemonts
through Kgjpt, while not even the crisis ol the In
dian mutiny has suflicod to tempt England's sol
diery lo the overlaud route. 'Ihe hotel at Suez i
English, aud so is tbe steam mucin nor v belonging to
tho 1 ei.insalar and Uileutal Company ( but tu-e
count as nothing when compared with tho splen
did dry' dock now in courso ot construction by
the Messageriea Company, at an estimated cost of
i!i20 000.
. f'lbis dock, which will be ready for use next sum
mer, is built ol stone specially imported from France.
Its dimensions (tour hundred andtorty-two loetlong
by ninety-one broad, with 28 feet depth of water
when the caisson gates are opened) will allow the
largest ships, whether of war o of morcant lo
n armo, to be admitted tor repairs It is connected
with the shore by a railway ruuuing along an artifi
cial causeway nearly two miles long, auu if, aj ap
pears ikciy , a landing-quay bo added, ocean s eatners
will le enabled to disembark tlioir passengors and
goods without the piesont tioublosotne intervention
of a smaller steamer. Thus perteo'ly oquippod at
one end oi the line, and preparing "iu ilar arrange
n en's at Saigon, tbo Measageries Company seems
anxious to create for Franco a strong an interest in
Eastern watots as the Caua Conipanv na alroadv
fiven her m the Ittliuius ot Suez X either has tho
Mepsa genes Company been behind ihe other in en
deavoring to obtain their ends by spoiling the Egyp
tian. '1 bo l'asha bears tho whole exponso of the
docks, and all the works connected wi.n it, but tho
nse of it tor half tile ear is to be vested in the French
Company.
"The maritimo canal is to traverse thf
Imgth of the Bittot Lakes, but no works have yet
been begun in this vicinity, and the ground is still
untouched all the way from Serapcum to Shaloof.
Ihe boa ot the Brter Lake is twonty-six foot below
the low tide level oi the Red Sea; it is probable
tlierofore, that the French wd bave no difficulty in
filling the bas ns as soon as they can bting the water
of ibo Hed f-ea aoross the barrier at olmloof.
- "At the la t-mentioued point a ridge in which
and and shells from tbe lied Sea cover large manses
ol pure clay and a coniuorable quantity oi lime
stone faint traces of tbe future canal are again d
cormble Two mi es of shallow excavation bave
been accomplished, which, however, do not vet con
tain any water. Tho hardness ot the limestone fives
rife to much difficulty, ana apparently it boa been
found necessary to resort to blasting operations on a
large scalo. While we wero at Ismaiba two huso red
l iedmontese minora woie dai'y exoected to pa-s
tliroueh on their way to Shaloof, and to hundred
more were to tobow in a fortnight The last, or
8aez sect on ot the canal, comprises ten mi es of
lapoon, visited daily by the high t de of the lied Sea.
Tbe principal feature of tbe section is an island,
called Turtle Is and, chiefly composed of very hard
limestone. The canal is meant to cross this island."
The political and financial difficulties which
have lor some time clouded the prospects of this
undertaking are understood to have been re
moved by a new arrangement with the Viceroy
of Effjpt, who has bought some of the property
of the French company, and will probably co
operate henceforth in the completion of the
work.
The daughter of the keeper of an old cu
riosity shop in Paris has lust lost her leg trora a
singular accident. She was displaying a Malay
dagger to an amateur of arms, when the weapon
fell lrom the scabbard and sliirhtly crazed her
toot, which began to swell immediately. The
doctor at once tested the weapon, and found that
the point hud been dipped in one of those dire
poisons against which there isno antidote.
