Thoughts
for the Thougntmi Among
Conservatives.
Oub of the BtroDgest arguments in favor of
the liberal doctrines maintained In thia coun
Uj ly the Republican parly, and by the pro
gressive parties of other countries, la the
uniform favorable results which have every
where followed the carrying out of those doo
trinos. In the days of the pro-slavery and
anti-slavery discussions in this country, the
wrongs and outrages of the slave system
formed the staple of the arguments against the
Institution. They were, doubtless, effective In
reaching the sympathies and moral sense of
the people but It may well be doubted
whether the positive beneficial effects of freedom,
as daily displayed in the intel
ligence, culture, wealth, and power of
-or ' -
the nation itself, were not the strongest possi
ble arguments against slavery. So, in advo
cating the fullest realization of the great prin
ciples of political equality which lie at the
basis of our system of government, we can
constantly appeaf to the fact, demonstrated
over and over again, that the extension of
political rights and privileges works so well in
praotioe, that no retrograde movement has
ever been attempted In our country, or could
be attempted with any chance of suocess. For
instanoe, in the earlier history of the country a
property qualification for suffrage was almost
universally required. It has sinoe been
abolished, we believe, in every State. 'This
involved a vast extension of the right of suf
frage, yet no evil results followed. Nobody
now proposes to eo back to the policy of
restricted suffrage in that respect. The liberal
policy has worked well in practice. It has vin
dicated itself by its results.
If we take those States in the Union which
have adopted the most liberal ideas in regard
to the equality of political rights those
Indeed, which place no restriction whatever
upon the right of manhood suffrage, do we find
any evil results following f On the contrary,
In what other States will we find better
schools, intelligence more widely diffused
among the masses, wiser laws for the protec
tion of person and property, publio and pri
vate works of charity better sustained; in a
word, where else will we find that organiza
tion of society which we call government
more wisely or beneficently performing it3
funotions f Now it is universally conceded
that one fact is worth whole volumes of theory
Soientifio savans demonstrated theoretically
that no. steamship could ever cross the
Atlantic; yet the first one that did orosa scat
tered their theories to the winds. When the
plan of a Faoifio Railroad was broached, a dis
tinguished Senator brought forward the objec
tion that the immense herds of buffaloes
roaming over the plains would destroy the
track.
The road has already been built straight
through the great buffalo range, and not a
ross-fie'or ayauTias ever been disturbed by
them. So those theorists who always pro
phesy evil against the people, who doubt their
capacity for self-government, who go into
spasms at every proposal to widen the base
of the great pyramid of social organization,
we point to the admitted and potent fact that
the people do know how to govern them
selves, that they are doing it, and that they
are doing it most successfully where tha great
principle of equal rights is moat thoroughly
carried out into practioal results. We point
to the successful voyage of the ship of state
upon the sea of Democracy, as the triumphant
reply to those who prophesied disaster and
otter failure. , a
In view of what liberal principles have done
for our country of their acknowledged suo
oess of their beneficial results where most
fully carried out, we would like to ask intelli
gent conservatives, who still hesitate and hold
back, whether, after all, if we were te close
this great struggle of thirty years' standing
by the authoritative and definite settlement
that, hereafter, in the United States, absolute
political equality should prevail among all
classes of citizens, whether, we say, it would
not be the wisest possible course for all parties
to pursue ? The final settlement of this
question is most desirable, in whatever
aspect we view it. The grounds of citizen
Bhipand the status of the citizen should be
fixed. So Ions: as they remain unsettled.
pollUos In this country must remain in an
abnormal and unnatural condition. We oan
ot move forward to the consideration of true
political issues, suoh as finance, taxation, pub
lio Improvements, etc, until we get these
fundamental questions affeoting the rights o
. citizenship settled upon a definite and endur
ng basis. The moment this shall be done
tlier will be a great reorganization of parties.
Questions of the policy of conducting the Gov
ernment, instead of these exoiting and funda
mental issues as to its real character, will
then command the publio attention. Once
settle it that the character of this Govern
ment ifl that of equal rights for all its citi
jens ; let all parties recognize that aa
a definite finality of slavery and all the ques
tions growing out of it, and we then give oc
casion for true politioal issuos that is, issues
Of polioy instead of issues of fundamental
form or organiocharacter to arise and form

ride all others.' It must be so. I may favor a
tariff or I may favor protection, but my Inte
rest In the question whether this country Is to
be a true democracy, based on equal rights, or
some modified form of aristocracy, based on
class privileges, overrides toy Interest In free
trade or tariff; and until that funrtameniai
question Is definitely settled, must continue to
do 80.
We commend this view of the case to
thoughtful men in the Democratio party. It
seems to us that the present course of that
party tends to keep alive these fundamental
Issues, and to prevout true questions of poli
tics from dividing our political organizations.
We urge a settlement of fundamental ques
tions upon the basis of equal rights, not be
cause Buch a Battlement is absolutely free from
danger, but beoause we believe it to be the
biet and safest attainable settlement. We
have gone too far with tb democratic-republican
experiment to halt with it unfinished;
and our actual experience thus far points to
equal rights as the safest and surest basis for
our political structure.
That "Flaunting Lie."
A Democratic journal, in the fullness of its
Ignorance, and while laboring under the
necessity of saying something extremely bril
liant, prints the following:
"Advice to ourraulcal contemporaries. C py
as a campaign document that stlrrlne radl.ial
1 r!c, wlilou appeared In tbe New York
Tribune:
' 'Tear down the flaunting He!
Half-mast the Marry flag;
Insult no sunny sky,
With Hate's polluted rag 1' "
The poem referred to did appear in the New
York Tribune several years ago, and created
no little sensation at the time; although it was
printed merely as a literary production of
more than ordinary merit, and without any
editorial endorsement or comment. The poem
in question was descriptive of the return of a
fugitive from slavery, on board a United
States vessel, under circumstances of peculiar
hardship and unnecessary cruelty, even to a
strict and liberal enforcement of the most ob
noxious provisions of the Fugitive Slave law
of 1S50. About the same time there appeared
in other journals two or three poems upon
kindred subjects, written in the same strain,
and by the same hand; and the author ha?
since, by his own confession, been proven to
be General Charles ?. llalpine, the "Miles
O'Reilly" of the New York Citizen. General
llalpine, both before and since the war, has been
an unyielding Demoorat, and has never
voted or acted with the Republican party. Ills
Democracy is now of the most orthodox stripe,
and at the last municipal election in New York
his services to the party were rewarded by his
election to the office of Register of Wills of
that city, one of the most iniluential and pro
fitable in the metropolis. Ue is, moreover,
and has always been, an earnest suppoiter of
Andrew Johnson, and has even been admitted
to long consultations with that eccentric per
sonage, the substance of the conversations
between the twain being subsequently dished
up in the Citizen in the most elaborate fashion.
When, under such circumstances, the Demo
cratic press still persist in casting reproach
upon the Republican party for this "stirring
radical lyrio," even if there is any reproach
properly attached to it, their ingenuity is
about on a par with their ignorance, and both
are entitled to our sinoere commiseration.
The Base-Ball Excitement to be
Checked.
We understand that the merchants of New
York have determined, by concerted action, to
put a stop to the enormous waste of time of
which their clubs and employ6s are guilty, by
preventing entirely the indulgence in base
ball. That such a pass has been reached that
the Utal prohibition of the game is necessary
is due entirely to those who are its devotees,
and they have no one to thank but themselves
that they will be entirely deprived of the
pleasures of the game. We have again and
again deprecated the dissipation and the
gambling which have now grown to be natu
ral incidents to every match game, and warned
the players against the inevitable result. And
now it is probable that our warning is about
to be realized.
The recent visit of the Athletio Club of this
city to New York, in which they were most
disgracefully and utterly beaten in every game
they played, is a type of the result of such
contests. Betting was the universal order of
the day, and it is as much as a man's reputa
tion for gentility is worth to be seen in such a
crowd as always attends these matches. It Is
time that this excess be stopped; and we hope,
now that the club which has boasted of its
invincibility has been badly beaten, that we
will see the fever relax, and the employers of
our city cease to be cheated out of so much
time for which they pay their employes. A
healthful exercise has degenerated into a diss!
pation, and as a dissipation, it should be
chtcked.
Sheridan Coming.
A despatch from the West tells us that Gene
ral Sheridan will shortly arrive in this city,
on his way to Washington. This is good news
to loyal Philadelphia. We have been earn
estly wishing, ever sinoe the news of the
removal of that gallant officer came to ns, that
we might have an opportunity of showing
him ourrespeot and heartfelt approval; and
also of giving publio proof of tho disgust and
indignation which the people feel towards
Andrew Johnson. The wished-for chance has
now arrived, and in the reception meted out
to Sheridan we can speak in thunder tones of
welcome and of condemnation. We are glad
to nee that Counolls have taken steps towards
tendering to that officer the freedom of our
city, and the motion met with no opposition,
as we cannot count the nays of Messrs. Dillon,
lietzoll, ana Mitton as of any aooount. Let
our people rouse themselves, and show by the
enthusiasm of the reception how great is their
love for Bherilan, and how great their hatred
for hia persecutor.

These Fafes were purchased, with the exception of
Sanborn's Improvement, from the stores of the re
spective makers, with tbe guarantee that they were
of the best of their respective manufactures.
In tbe test or bnrntng, the fire was applied at
O'clock, on tbe morning ot tbe 14th, and was extin
guished at 1 o'clock P. 11. The wood consumed In
the burning was sixteen cords, and was equally dis
tributed among tbe respective safes.
The Commlltee Inspected the condition and the
contents (which were equal) of the respective safes
before burning, saw tbat all were properly closed,
and a portion ot the Committee was present during
the burning.
After the burning, and on opening the safes, tbe re
sults were as follows;
C S.ltalser's, contents totally destroyed.
Llllie A Son's, contents totally destroyed.
Amerioan Steam Fire-Proof Hale Company's Steam
Fire-Proof Safe, contents in perect condition.
Steam Fire-Proof Trunk (Sanborn's Patent), con
tents discolored and damaged.
Marvin & Co.'s, contents totally destroyed.
Evans A Watson's, with Sanborn's Patent Improve
ment, contents In perfect condition.
Farrel, Herring A Co.'s seemed to resist the Are
longer tban either of the safes of the old make, but Its
eontentt were totally destroyed,
E. Hassenfbrder's, coutents totally destroyed.
Evans A Watson's, old make, contents totally de
stroyed. In view of this result, and Inasmuch as no premium
has been offered by the Society for this Interesting

tbat a GOLD Ms DAL be awarded to the Sanborn Im
provement, aa shown in the Safe manufactured by
EVANS A WATSON, or Philadelphia, and In that
made by the American Steam Fire-Proof Safe Com
any. An examination of the Safes after they had entirely
cooled, showed tbat the matter coutalned lu the tubes
of the Safes made after the Sanborn Patent had not
been more tban bait exhausted.
