c THE NEW YORK PRESS. EDITORIAL OPINIONS OF THE LEADING JOURNALS UPON CURRENT TOPICS COMPILED EVEHT DAT POK THE EVENING TELKUKAPU. leiioui from Connecticut, ty Horace urciy( From the Independent. Tho Democratic party carried Connecticut at her State election on the 1st instant by nearly 1000 majority. She is the first of the former free States carried by that party since November, lSu'l, when it cave the electoral Tote of New Jersey to General McClellan. Very natnrally, the Tictors are signally elated, and regard this as initiating a long series of triumphs. And there -is not an unchanged Rebel, in any part of the world, who does not exult over this victory of Ids Connecticut friends as his triumph a triumph of his principles, and a presage of his early restora tion to all of which the adverse fortunes of war have bereft him. To him, it is Vicksburg recovered, with Atlanta, Savannah, Richmond, and Appomattox about to follow. Let us con Eider what this victory is, and what it por tends: I. It is not the fruit of accident, reckless ness, or surprise. It was hoped for on one Me, jipprt bfiided on the other; and the cou test juft Hosed was unusually vigorous. The State was well canvassed for either party; the vote polled is heavy beyond precedent con siderably move than 00,000. If the Republi cans failed to do their very best, they cer tainly did very well. Rarely or never has the poll been so full at any other-than a .Presiden tial electieu. II. Nor does it result from a confusion or misconception of issues. True, the Demo crats did not nominate their most obnoxious ' men, nor proclaim their most obnoxious senti ments. They acted wisely, prudently, but sot deceptively. If Toueey, Katon, and T. II. Seymour were not placed in the foreground, it was well known and understood that they were on hand. They did not speak, but their spirit animated some of those who did. Hos tility to Congress, in all that it has done and all that it has purposed, was the key-note ot the struggle. Hatred of the blacks, with repugnance to their enfranchisement, though less pronounced and less vociferous than it has been, was the primary impulse of three fourths of the triumphant party. If, there fore, there be those who, in full view of this result, shall still insist that the Democratic party is dea3, they must mean that its ideas and aims are necessarily transformed not that its partisans are so few as to be power less, or no longer devoted to its fortunes. III. Nor was the triumph won by direct hribcry. To say that it was is to impeach unjustly the character of our voting popula tion. True, the leading Democratic candi dates were mainly rich men, and their expen ditures in the canvass were exceedingly lavish ; but they were devoted to making votes rather than buying thsm. Everything was naturalized that could or would " swear through." The State was carefully searched for raw material out of which to fabricate elec tors. Whoever could be put on the poll-lists was put on ; whoso could vote iu Connecti cut was sent for, though ever so distant ; whoso could vote and would vote the Demo cratic ticket, was sought out and brought to the polls. Most of the winning candidates were decidedly popular; the wealthier of them were profusely liberal; they made some votes by professing peculiar devotion to the inter ests of Labor and the further limitation of tho day's work ; but there are very few Republi cans in the State who were or could be cor rupted with money. IV. The Democrats unquestionably made votes out of their well-known, if not plainly avowed, hostility to the negroes and to impar tial sulliage. The coarse, the vile, the repro bate, are generally Democrats on instinct; but, if one of them chanced to be deflected the other way by kinship or past association with better men, it was only needful to cry "Nigger !" to win him over to English & Co. Clearly, if there had been no action of Con gress looking to the concession of equal right to blacks, it would not have been possible to poll any such Democratic aggregate as was polled. The Republicans were subjected to the odium of wishing and seeking negro en franchisement without the counterbiilanciiig advantage of securing the buck vote. V. To say that the recent acts ot Congress looking to Southern reconstruction were odious would be grossly to err. Could u vote have lwen taken distinctly on the .jiiesi.ion, a ma jority would have approved and sustained those acts. What Congress did was not un popular; its hesitation to do it wan. Had the great measure known as the Military Recon struction act been passed in January, rather than in March, the Republican ascendancy in Connecticut would have been maintained. But Congress hesitated so long, aud debated so ex haustively, that tho cry, "They don't mean to let the South be reorganized and readmitted till the uext Presidential election, if ever," was reiterated with effect; aud the early assemblage of the Fortieth Congress neu tralized the good effect of the passage of the Reconstruction act. A general im patience of delay and anomaly had been sedulously fostered, and was widely prevalent; and the calling of the Fortieth Congress was represented as reopening and indefinitely pro longing agitation and alienation. "Admit that what has been done is just and right, Why not stop doing ? Is there never to be an end of legislation about the Rebel States 1 If the Reconstruction act, already passed, is wise and just, what need cau there be of another (" such were the queries and cavils which neutralized the legitimate effect of what Con gress had actually done. "All that has been uone looks well enough; but what may not Stevens, and Butler, and Chandler do next ? Will they ever be done with reconstructing till admonished by the people to quit it Huspicion that something might be done, or left undone, as it should not be, neutralized the good effect of what actually had been done and palpably wM done. ' VI. Of course, the Johnsonized Republicans, who enjoy the Federal oilices, did what harm they could. They gave money, and got up meetings, and so nmnv f 1mim m ril(i. mmlx speeches to prove that the party which had uu uonoied them made therein a ' -i i ke The demonstration was irre ibuuib, uut mey carried over very few votes V , i, lUM tue Democrats are still a .V V T I 1.

PHIL have tarried it iu 18f5, has now subjected their party to defeat and mortification. Tluse weak brethren doubtless regarded the concession of the right of suffrage to blacks as an act of justice at the expense of popularity a sacrifice of interest and public faVorto compassion and Bentiment. Such a sacrifice might be expected from "fanatics," "men of one idea," "dreamers," abstractionists; but not of practical, politic men like themselves. Rut the "whirligig of time" has spt?t'dily demonstrated the superi ority of justice to policy, of principle to in terest. The practical politicians have led their party into a bog whence the "fanatics" and "theorists" would have preserved it. There was not one vote cast for the Republican ticket last week that would not have lieen so cast had impartial suffrage triumphed at the special election in 18(if; while that triumph would have averted disaster and secured victorv in 18(57. Men and brethren ! shall we not all profit by the lesson read us by Connecticut in her re cent election f The Proposition for American Mediation In Mexico A Policy Wanted. From the Times, A proposition for mediation between the belligerents in Mexico was recently made by Mr. Reverdy Johnson before the Senate in Executive session. According to such ac counts as we have, it was vigorously opposed, and on Thursday last was withdrawn. It was shamefully remiss in Congress, at its late session, to take no notice of the hor rible state of things in Mexico. By menace and argument we had expelled the French army and broken down the intervention. We had practically assumed the right of regulat ing the affairs of Mexico, guarding her inte rests and sustaining her republican institu tions. We had rendered ourselves liable to war, on her account, with the foremost mili tary nation of the world. We had, by the arrest of Ortega and the restraint of Santa Anna, done something in the way of sup pressing factious leaders. In fact, we hal carried our interference, our our gardianshin, so far, without remonstrance from the Mexi cans or from foreign powers, that there seemed no limit to our action except our own will. We stopped short, however, just at the worst time just at the most critical and peri lous moment for Mexico. We stormed short with abolishing one form of government, and without doing anything to establish another. We upset the French plans for reducing Mexico to order, and did nothing in the way of setting up order under any other authority. Jt our eiiorts in Uehait ot Mexico began when she was in war, they ended when she was in anarchy, and even more helpless anarchy than ever before. There is no doubt as to the duties that re mained for our Government after the expul sion of the French. After notifying Maximi lian to leave the country, or at least to cease making war upon it, we had positive duties towards Juarez and the Republic. It was im perative upon us to give eilective assistance in the erection and consolidation of the re publican system. If the foreigners had left everything in confusion and ruin, it was but fit and in keeping with what we had already done that we should lend a hand in rebuild ing the civil order. If moral aid promised to ue as successtul against taction as it iiaa been against intervention, all our moral power should have been directly and instantly brought to bear. If diplomacy had any re sources, they should have been promptly put forth to their full extent. If the republican Government, rising from its ruins, needed a pecuniary guarantee for which proper security could have been given, that also it was in our province, as it was our interest to furnish. And even if a corps of American troops were re quired to put a stop to the horrors of anarchy and secure the establishment of a vigorous Re public, our Government would have been jus tified in despatching them to Mexican soil. That one or another of these means would have been successful in putting an end to the greatest scandal of the nineteenth century a scandal for which we shall not be held entirely irresponsible is quite certain. That without our moral or material assistance Mexico will ever be other than she has been during the last half century, is not within the range even of the most sanguine hope. Our correspond ence and other information from time to time give too certain proof that even the exit of Maximilian will not secure the suppression of faction and fighting, or the supremacy of tho Constitution and its legitimate adminis trators. Half-a-dozen of the most prominent Mexican leaders are ready, even after the Em pire and Emperor have disappeared, to con tinue the war against Juarez, in behalf of the Church and themselves. In the Republican camp itself there are dissension, disaffection, and turbulence; and without mentioning the Imperialist officers we have no doubt that every Liberal general now fighting for Juarez has a pronunciamiento in his pocket ready to be stuck up on the walls of the capital as soon as it shall be taken. In fact, every sigu will fail if the expulsion of the foreign usurper do not furnish the opportunity for twenty do mestic usurpers to renew the scenes of up roar which rise like the cactus on Mexican "And yet, though time has demonstrated that republican order or political regeneration cannot be brought about by the Mexicans themselves, we do not believe that these things are impossible of accomplishment, or even difficult. By the help of a strong and friendly hand, this wretched Mexico may be rescued. Not such assistance as the French pretended to give when they overthrew the republic, for that was the assistance of an enemy, and left the nation worse than it was found, but such am as one repuuuc, an yun- erful and generous, may oiler to anoiner in its hour of distress, ani which, by raising one, elevates and glorifies both. Jt must be remembered that, after all, the factious ele ment of the Mexican population is compara tively small in numbers, lhe inaian element, which comprises seven-eighius oi tue wuurtj nation, is, in the main, of a peaceful chanac- ter, and would easily be kept m oraer. i tie commercinl classes are, of course, desirous for me establishment of order above all things, as ' strikingly proven by the way they have ad hered to Maximilian, notwithstanding his ob noxious politics. .

Knights, to the Kcicnil From the Tribune. The Richmond Dispatch is pleased, yet alarmed, to hear that Senator Wilson is com ing to Virginia. That a Northern radical should be allowed to talk political heterodoxy on the sacred soil itself, is at ouce a sad com mentary on the departed glories of the chivalry, and an omen of approaching social chaos. Yet, even in this dismal scene, the prophetic editorial eye discerns a glimmer of gladuess. Why not meet Wilson with his own weapons, and make him share the stump with the orthodox leaders in whom the South has long put her trust? What a chance for reviving the old-time barbacues, and pole-raisings, and the political jousts, resonaut with lofty flights of Southern eloquence and withering denunciations of Yankee baseness, which used to delight the Virginia people. The Dispatch calls aloud for the political champions of the Old Dominion to buckle on their harness, and come out and have a tilt with the radical knight, lest the negroes think this Wilson indomitable. Wise, and Smith, and Flournoy, and Goggin, and Montague, and the great Letcher himself, it cries; have we not all these with us t and could not either of them, with one hand tied behind him, de molish any Yankee Senator in a quarter of an hour ? "They cannot condescend to enter the arena with such men as Hunnicutt, who, born in the South, have sought to subject us to humiliation and degradation. But they can, without any compromise of principle or sacri fice of self-respect, meet upon the stump the chosen leaders of the Republican party of the North." So let us have public discussions, says the Dispatch; let us stand up and fight these issues squarely before the niggers. "It may be an unpleasant task, but it is one that has to be performed." fjEs3 By all means, we say, let us have the ;de bates. There is nothing the Republican party desires so earnestly as that the great ques tions of the day may be exposed fully and clearly to the Southern people, and discussed iu all their bearings. We have been trying to get the truth before them for the last quarter of a century; and there is no way more effec tual for coming at the truth than a good, free, open debate. We believe that an oratorical tourney between Senator Wilson and the much-resounding Wise would do more good to the Republican party in Virginia than the Richmond Dispatch could undo in the whole remainder of its existence. Keen Eyesight from Under Wool. hom the Ti-iOune. At a recent radical meeting at Chattanooga, Tennessee, Thomas Kane, a negro, spoke at length, and with signal pertinence and force. Here is an extract from his remarks, as re ported for the Cincinnati Commercial: "Our friend here says to speak of little things or bin things. 1 have no education; I can tliiulv big things, but I can only speak little MiIokh. Shci iuuu'b bill suits me very well, according to my understanding. My frieuds, so tarasl know them, suit me very well, and I think I know who they are. I think Urownlow is one of them. I have seen how they worked for us, and what they luive dune for us. Stierman Is a iriend lo ux. I know that my people ml over the Southern States have been deprived of the privileges or education, ana ot meeting as we do Biid SHying, I am ruy own man.' When, we stop and tnink where we were a few yours ago, picking iu the cotton row, or hoeing lu the corn row, ploughing among the btumps, wiui a driver and an overseer; and old master sitting in the house, and saying, 'Drive 'em, mid what weare now, I hardly know what we shull do. We are free, and, more than that. we are allowed to vote. Lki we know what we are going to vote for? Some men any, The negro uhh nis leirat vote; out l can uuy his vote with a drink of whisky or a chew of tobacco.' Fellow.cili7.enH, before any man shall buy my vole witli a drink of whisky or a chew of tobacco, 1 will miller this body to be sacrillced. (Applause ) When 1 was iu Selma, on electiou day, 1 saw the while men go down into their cellars and bring out their jugs of whisky, and usk men in, and suy, 'Who are you going to vote lor r auu i nave seen me votes ot the Anglo-Saxon race bought for a drink of whisky. (Great applause.) Now. here are col ored men who never saw a church or a school house until lately, and you needn't tulk to me auout uuviug tueir votes; while there aie white men, raised in the lap of education, that would sell their votes. Unless I know, my friends, who I am going to vote lor, I shall not vote ut all. Don't, when you go to vote, let any man come up and Ray: Who are you going lo vole lorY 'Why, so and so?' 'Why. he ain't the right man. You dou't know. How should you? Your hair iu short and kinky. Let me tell you; so aud so is the ninu to vote lor;' and the hrst luinu you know vou will be voting to cut your own in mat. Now, I don't know much about political allalrs, but 1 believe urowniow is tne rigiit man iu tne rinlit nlHce. and it we have got to vote, I shall vote for him, because I see that lie has worked for us.

We must learn to use this great blessing." The Indiana Shall AVe Have an Indian Wart From the Herald. If Cleopatra's nose had been shorter, said Pascal, the face of the world might have been different. That epigram is the epitome of many histories. To the greater or less length of a nose or a chin to the greater or less cir cumference of some skull we may trace war or peace, the destruction or preservation of nations, the happiness or obliteration of whole branches of the human race. We are likely to have an immediate application of this prac tical paraphrase in the war now perhaps already raging between our troops and cer tain Indian tribes. There is good reason to believe that the present state of Indian rela tions was brought on by the acts of blunder ing incompetence. A war whose least result will be the spending of some millions, that will cost many lives, and arrest for two or three years the magnificent trans-Mississippi march of American progress, may come upon us, having no better or greater cause than that most common fact a bad appointment made at the national capital the appointment of a man of rather less than average discre tion to a post that indeed did not seem to the authorities of great importance. We had agreements with the Indians, in virtue of which we were able to live on tole rable terms as neighbors. In pursuance of such agreements certain parties were authorized to sell them ammunition. If it is a bad policy to sell powder and ball to the red men, we ought not to agree to do so, or we ought to annul the agreement in a proper manner, and as becomes a people respecting law-at least laws of their own making. Somel ,dy thought it was a bad vooy and, dressed in his brief authority, ready enoug' , lay magna U and dictator, ordered in p ,aste the discon tinuance of such sale, bo the Indians had no means to kill buffalo, and were distressed and exasperated, and the cause ot trouble was an encroachment on their hunting grounds by the new rente to Virginia City. They did not, however, plunge into war. So many Midship man Easys could not have been more disposed to argue the points in a pauifiu way. Argu ment, explanation, good temper would have AD EL Pill A, MONDAY, settled all the trouble. Argument could not be i.-j. j . "... . . nu, nMi temper was not to be wasted on "savages." Parties eager to be heard for their rights showed themselves in sight of Fort Phil Kearny and held up their blankets as signals. They were shelled and driven away. Soldiers went out shooting at them 'on their own iiuun., """iiover nipy came near. They hov ered around, however; they assembled in larger numbers three hundred, it is said; three thousand, others say and Indians present in the party, of tribes that have always been friendly and boast they never slew a white man such Indians declare most firmly that the intention was not hostile. But there was a pauic. A party was out cutting wood the Indians might destroy it ! Another narty was sent to see to its safety. This latter party saw Indians and opened fire. The Indians retreated, the soldiers pursued, were drawn into an ambuscade and slaughtered to a man. Such is the plain story on the judg ment of experts of the Fort Phil Kearny mas sacreall, there is too much reason to fear a most terrible blunder. ' Shall we expiate this blunder by a war with all the Indians we can force to light us f Shall we save the pride of the author of this blunder at the expense of the equipment of an army ? We hope not. There was a time when war was the only possible result of accidental col lision. If two or three men of Megara mur dered an Athenian in a drunken bout, the Athenians murdered any Magarean they could lay hands on; and so from murder to murder men drifted into war. It is the advantage of higher civilization that we act less blindly. W e single out particular delinquents and do not retort indiscriminately on a race the crimes even of certain of its members. Let us not give way to passions and prejudices, but pause and inquire calmly whether there is not a better way for the settlement of our Indian dilliculties than the costly one of extirpation; whether, indeed, a properly established system of stocked reservations may not make the savage his own antidote, and make him even contribute towards our progress across the plains. War News from Europe, From the Herald. Our latest news from Europe, both by cable and mail, is unmistakably warlike. The Lux embourg affair, small at first sight and insig nificant, threatens to become a muuh more serious matter for Europe than the long-talked- ot Eastern question. The situation to all lovers of peace is truly alarming. No one who has the slightest knowledge of the state of feeling in France and Germany can for a moment doubt that it is the Paris Exhibition, and that only, which hinders the French troops from crossing the frontier and plunging into the very heart of Prussia. We say this not because we are at an certain that in a con test between France and Prussia victory would be ultimately on the side ot the former power. but because we are satisiied that the first blow must be struck by France. Prussia will not make herself responsible for the actual conx mencement of hostilities; nor is it necessary she should, tor sue is already in actual pos session of the fortress regarding which the dnhcultyhas arisen. Pity it is that a matter of this sort could not be settled by peaceful means. Should war break out, it is impossible to predict where or how it may end. The flame once lit, the con flagration, it is all but certain, will sweep with devastating force over the length and breadth of Europe, destroying property, cramping the springs of industry, cutting down the Mower of the population by thousands, and forever extinguishing ancient and cherished laud marks. Heavy will be the responsibility of that power which shall take the initiative in such a war. Yet it is not easy to determine who is to blame for matters as they now stand. Prussia, perhaps, exceeded her rights when she garrisoned the fortress of Luxem bourg during the late German war; but it would not be difficult to discover reasons numerous and important enough to justify such a step. Abstractly she may be wrong in maintaining her occupation, now that the war has been ended; but abstract rights have never been allowed to rule when the game of poli tics or of war has run high. No oue can blame France for seeking to acquire by honorable purchase a trontier tortress ot so much im portance. The chief vice in the whole allair, to our mind, consists in the cool and impudent determination of the King of Holland to barter away his duchy without regard to the wishes of the population; as if in this nineteenth century the inhabitants of an ancient and highly civilized European province were to be bought and sold like so many cattle. It is a little .too much for a grand duke or even a king to attempt in this age of public opinion. Efforts in all likelihood will be luade to make the question a sub ject for European intervention. This seema to be the desire of Russia. The duchy of Luxembourg was confirmed in the possession of the King of Holland by the treaties of 183!), when the kingdom of the Netherlands was split up, and the separate kingdoms of Hol land and Belgium were established. Were it not that for some time past we have been in the habit of seeing European treaties made of but little account, we should certainly say that the great powers who signed these treaties should be again consulted before any future disposition is made. If they be consulted, we should not be surprised to find that war had been averted by an agreement to the effect that the duchy of Luxembourg should he pro claimed neutral territory. If some such arrangement is not come to war is inevitable. The collision, if it do take place, will be fearful. If war alliances, as is by no means impossible, be formed on both sides, Europe will present to the world a spec tacle such as she has not presented since the days of the first Napoleon, and another and more lasting peace may date from another and grander Waterloo. If, however, France and Prussia are allowed to light it out alone, it will be one of the briefest and most brilliant, one ot the shortest, sharpest, and most decisive wars which the world has yet seen. Seward'a Policy Toward Canada. Vom the World. When out of office t .I-removod from the immediate temptations of ignorant and self seeking followers, Mr. Seward advocated towards Canada precisely that course of policy which we and the majority of the Democratic party have pursued with unwavering con sistency. In his letter written in 1857 near the coast of Labrador, lie said: "The policy of the United States is to prop!, tlate and secure the alliance of Canada while it Is yet young and Incurious of its future but. on theotuer hau. , the policy which the United States actually pursues is the lufatuutod oue of rejecting aud spurning vigorous, perennial, and ever growing Canada, while seeking to establish feeble Klutes out of decaying Spaulsh province on the coast and in tue islands in the Gulf of Mexico. I shall not live to see It, but the man U now living wVo will see the United States mourn over this atupendoue folly, which it only preparing the way for ultimate danger and downfall, Ail tiouthem political star uumi net, AlTtlL 22, 18GT. though h many tlmrs thev rmengaln with dimln i splendor, ltut those wtnoti itlrtinlimte i he remain forever shining, forever Jncreusiug isbed l'ole re In splendor." It is plain to every candid mind that the way to the only desirable annexation is in.n.u.,i tnturi'mimn. Instead of following this course, Mr. Seward seconded Morrill and his coadjutars in mo " " policy of rejecting and spuming vigorous, nfiru Tin lot nnd ver-crowiug Canad.l. 11(5 sent Potter, then i;onsui-ueiieriu u direct from Washington to Detroit to urge the commercial convention to refrain from culti vating friendly relations with banana, ami place the annexation ot the province oeiore its people in a ngui muui m.-. regard as insulting putting a price upon tne loyalty and sense of patriotism which are natural to every honorable man. We see its results in a more intense feeling of loyalty and aversion to annexation than ever before existed in the provinces. Equitable and really recip rocal commercial relations would necessarily pave the way to "more intimate political union," as, indeed, was frankly avowed by Earl Russell when he occupied one oi tne highest official positions in the British Empire. The prophecy of Mr. Seward as to the per manence of an independent nation formed from the provinces will follow the same fate as other vaticinations from the same oracle, although hitherto his official influence has tended to confirm his unofficial soothsayings and promote alienation. The best step towards the annexation of Canada is such a thorough and careful revi sion of our fiscal and financial affairs as will be best for our own interests, and thus make a partnership desirable. When that is accom plished, the Northern palace of confederation, now strengthened by alienating cold, will thaw like ice before the sun of summer. The PUpoeltlon of the Peabody Fund. Jfrom the World. From the circular of Rev. Dr. Sears, general agent of the Peabody Educa tional Fund, it will be seen that the money consigned to the distinguished trustees is to be almost wholly expended in the rehabilitation of schools already existing in the South. To the many would-be founders of new schools in many cases charlatans, with whom the "cause of popular education" is greatly overstocked this preference ac corded to the institutions that but need assistance again to control the patronage as they possess the attachment of the bouth, will come up with force destructive of various little schemes in the line of "public learning" and "general enlightenment," sol ii i 1 1 i , .1. . j. i . ii a . .i r caueu. uut au tne true lrieuua ui iuo buuuuu which Mr. Peabody's bounty is designed to serve will applaud such disposition of the fund. Large as the sum is, the com parative extent of the reconstructing States, and the educational needs of the maturing generation that is to shape their future, render the money only adequately beneficial in assisting, not creating, schools throughout the whole domain. Now, too, that by general laws the btates have trrown or are about to throw open tho schools for the admission of all, irrespective of color, this application of Mr. Peabody's gift will not go a hair's width towards tho encouragement of those caste es tablishments, "Freedmen's schools," wherein black crowd out white, and which Boston de lights to honor. The respect and co-operation of the Southern people can best bo won by extending to the schools, and to the instructors that are of and among themselves, the aid which the mer chant philanthropist has contributed. To upbuild what already exists, even though in a lapsed condition, is better than to force, in the name of charity, the innovation of "bran new" schools, and the officious presence of self-seeking Yankee "professors" that stand as ready now to take advantage of the desti tution of the South as they were in other days to denounce her, when she was abundantly able to do without them, and felt never so happy as in their absence. Mr. Peabody's fund cannot do everything. We are gratified to learn that the much it can do is to be thus wisely directed. PAPER HANGINGS, SHADES, ETC fJEW SPRING STYLES Philadelphia TVnll Papers! !
