- "Be Temperate in AH Things."
For the next twelve months it is oertain that
the country will be convulsed with politioal
exoitement. The number and magnitude of
the elections, the might issues at stake, and
the extreme bitterness felt by each party
.gainst its opponent, demand that all the
caution possible should be exercised by gen
tlemen on both sides to prevent the contest
leing disgraced by gross personalities. For
years we have had the cry of "traitors," "Cop
perheads," and the like, on one side, and the
response of "Abolitionists," "amalgama
tionlsts," "nigger-lovers," on the other. If
in comparatively calm times such terms have
been resorted to, how much more violently
will they be applied when the passions are
inflamed to white heat by reason of a bitter
battle I We therefore greatly fear that we
will see the members of each party disgrace
our country and themselves by a violence
utterly opposed to courtesy and, we may add,
decency.
It has long been a standard parody on the
Amerioan people, held up by foreign players
and writers, of representing us engaged In po
litical discussion and using language which,
even in it Pickwickian sense, is hardly fit for
ears polite. The arrival of Mr. Dickens at
the present time and his stay in the United
States will, we fear, give some ground for be
lieving that twenty-five years of experience
have not improved the temper of our citi
zens. From all indications we anticipate
a violenoe of denunciation during the
campaign which it behooves all those
who respect our national character to try to
mitigate. We would earnestly ask the gen
tlemen of both parties to throw their influence
In the scale of politics, and seek to bring order
and courtesy out of chaos. Of course, it is of
no use to expect 'that the pot-house politician
will be a Chesterfield in manners, but we would
have the men in high position, and who re
present our people in the eyes of Europe, so
comport themselves as not to bring us into dis
grace. This warning is not unnecessary.
We have read speeches from gentlemen
holding offices of national trust and honor
which contain sentiments much more Apropos
to a resident of Billingsgate than to a Senator
of the United States. It is with such orators
that this influence should be especially ex
erted. Any dereliction on their part exposes
US to ridicule and abuse, while the ravings of
the small politician only disgust the few
who hear him, and are never known by the
great mass of the public. There is an ample
field for all the exertion of influenoe in thus
Seeking to tone down the asperity of politics.
At the best, a discussion between two men
who differ on every subject under the sun, can
not be a very courteous affair. When the
statements of one are met with a flat denial by
the other, there can never be an excess of
politeness.
If we could but impress on all our speakers
that by exhibiting a regard for the feelings of
their opponents they would make a much
stronger address than if they indulged in in
vective, we think that a great reform might be
anticipated. We would furnish every partisan
oratorwiththe oldmottothat "Sound argument
and not a loud voice, brings conviction." The
class of speeches which do the most good are
not those which abound in denunciation. To
be assured that your opponent has broken all
the commands of the Deoalogue rather tends
to make you defend him as an abused and
traduced man, than it does to fire your
indignation to enthusiasm. A man will
work ten times as hard by being thoroughly
convinced that his cause is right, than by
being told that hi 8 opponent is in the wrong.
Negative conviction is a poor incentive to
action. If half the time and energy spent in
abuse would be devoted to argument sound,
dignified argument a much larger harvest
would be secured to the worker. We earnestly
hope that this fact will be more generally
recognized, and we will have a chance to more
frequently hear the remark, "That is a sensi
ble speech," made by those who oome from a
political meeting. The judgment too often,
with thinking men, is that the speaker ex
hausted all his ability in abuse rather than
discussion.
The Boriptural command to be temperate in
all things applies with as much force to speak
ing as it does to eating and drinking. Any
exoess, either mental or physical, is always
injurious. We think it is undeniably
true that the mind suffers as much by a
violent harangue, such as is generally heard
on our politioal stumps, as the body does by
an over-indulgence in liquor, or by playing
the gourmand at the table. Let us, then, hope
that our leading men, daring the coming year,
will exhibit a marked improvement in the
tone of their discussions. It does not dete
riorate from the strength of an address be
cause in it your adversary is not attacked as
though you were a very shrew. Let us, then,
have courteous, dignified, argumentative
Speakers, who, while they possess all the fire
of energy and vehemence of declamation neces
sary to excite enthusiasm, will at the same
time always keep ttrictly within the bounds
of politeness, and never shock all courtesy by
such glaring exhibitions as we have witnessed
will regret.in times past.
Practical Progress of ICecoastrnctioB.
Thb returns from the late emotion in Virginia
are still fragmentary and incomplete, but it is
known that the vote in favor of a Constitu
tional Convention has prevailed by a deolded
majority, and that a majority of the members
elected are Republicans. This result, in face
of the depressing effect of the October elections,
and of the pressure brought to bear by the
Democracy of the North to prevent if possible
the holding of a Convention, is more favorable
than was generally anticipated. It shows that
there is a powerful current in favor of recon
struction prevailing in the late Rebel States,
and that the do-nothing policy is not indorsed
by the people. Three States Louisiana, Ala
bama, and Virginia hare now voted to hold
Constitutional Conventions, and have elected
delegates to them. Every State, so far, that has
voted upon the question has voted in its favor;
and in Virginia, at least, the result oannot
by any means be ascribed solely to the votes
of the citizens of African descent, for the white
voters are in a large majority in the State. The
influence of Virginia has always been very
large over the other Southern States, and the
fact that she has voted to hold a Convention will
now have a salutary effeot. If the do nothings
could not hold their own in Virginia, where
they had so many things in their favor, they
can hardly hope to control the action of any
other of the Rebel States. "
Thus far the reconstruction plan has worked
admirably. Three States are already on the
high road to complete restoration. We
have no doubt that each of them will adopt a
Constitution republican in form, such an one
as will command the assent not only of Con
gress, but also of the loyal people of the
country generally, and will be admitted with
it into the Union.
The Louisiana Convention meets on the l!)th
of November, and will immediately prooeed
to frame a Constitution and State Govern
ment. With the Constitutions of the several
States of the Union as patterns and guides,
the Convention will doubtless make a quick
job of it, so that we should not be at all sur
prised to see Louisiana admitted to the Union
before next March. A similar result may be
looked for in the cases of Alabama and Vir
ginia, and also of such others of the Rebel
States as shall vote to hold Conventions.
Indeed, it would not be very wonderful if thi3
whole work of reconstruction should be prao
tically finished during the next session of Con
gress. Such a result would be most fortunate
for the country, and would be a happy termi
nation of the great struggle which has cost us
all so much.
Imperial Affection for a Brother.
Fbakcis Joseph is paying a visit to Napoleon,
and we are told that he was received with a
wild welcome by the Parisians, in sympathy
for the loss of his brother. It seems to us, with
our views of what is due to personal dignity,
that It la riillior an nnoallod-for and humiliating
act on the part of the Emperor of Austria to
leave his kingdom in order to visit the man who,
by his desertion and deception, caused the death
of his brother. It seeuu.s to us rather in oppo
sition to fraternal affection for such an excess
of courtesy to be bestowed, and gives ground
for the old story that Francis Joseph, jealous
of Maximilian, was not so sorry to get him
out of the way. Publio policy may demand
that such exhibitions of friendship be as
sumed, but we really cannot believe that(
after all, the grief of the Austrian Court is
of the unassuageable kind.
Thb Roman Question. The reports which
come to us from Rome are so conflicting that
no accurate idea of the real oondition of
affairs can be gained from them. The only
reason we have for believing that the move
ment of Garibaldi has not yet been crushed is
the absence of information. Of course the
Pontifical Government holds the wires and
regulates all the despatches sent. In such
a case, no news is good news for the revolu
tionists. That the Pope does not announoe to
all Europe his success in crushing the insur
rection is proof positive that he has not as yet
succeeded in doing so. If, however, it is true
that France has prevailed on Victor Emanuel
to enforce the September treaty, the hopes of
the Garibaldians are thwarted, for with both
Italy and France in active opposition, and
without any aid from the other great powers,
what can a small body of men, however deter
mined, hope to accomplish ?
Tub Book Tbade. The book trade, which
has been languishing during the summer, now
begins to revive. We notice a number of new
publications from those stores which are con
tinually supplying the wants of the reading
publio. With the advance of winter and the
approach of Christmas, we may expect to see
the whole fraternity of publishers having their
presses moving as of old, and replenishing
the shelves of the libraries with a choice supply
of reading matter for the long winter eve
nings. On the assembling of Congress a de
termined effort is to be made to secure an "in
ternational copyright" law, which will at onoe
settle the vexed question of tariff on foreign
publications, and be of great advantage to
both readers and authors, while, in the
long run, the publishers will also be benefited.
A Handsome Gift. An English paper says:
"A gentleman well known in commercial
circles has recently invested, in the names of
trustees, the princely sum of 250,000, for the
purpose of founding a convalescent hospital in
the metropolis. "
Tub Jesuits The Jesuits have very much
increased in numbers in France since 1848,
and the prints have now more influenoe over
the people.

It should be known that Mensrs. Evans A Watson
sent to Mr. Hsdler a written agreement, accenting his
challenge on tbe very terms aud In the wofds ol the
challenge as be published it. but he declined ma illng
bis own terms. One reason which be gave was that'
be was not willing to submit the trial wholly to the
control of any committee. Why not, if he desires to
have a trial which the public can teei asm red Is a fair
oneT People who had read the notices were coming
on to the ground all day to witness the trial. HevernT
gentlemen were at the expense of coming hundreds

And as this was the time named by himself, why

We can only Infer one answer. His Hafe A'M brnn

put it into anr oml rual trial with ours. He was

the speedy failure ot bis. It is only natural, there

piIE GREAT SAFE CONTEST.
LILLIE'G SAFE
READY FOR RATTLE.
I notice the great splurge In the newspapers of tiia
24th Instant headed "Trial of BxfixHaAltr BactxdL
Out," etc., and signed Evana A Watson. Men who
will surreptitiously buy safet of the dlflerent safe
manufacturers, and burn them (with tba d jors un
fastened even), burn them Iu the night when tba inr
teretted parties otly ate present, may be expected to
make a great "flourish of trumpets," and pretend to
be very ready to burn safes, when they knew, by pub.
Ho announcement days previous, that the lest was
postponed, and for what reason, and it la not sur
prising that men doing thla will make false charges
also, ana say Sculler backs out, or anything else to
effect their object. When I waa a boy X was told
never to crow until I got out of the woods; aud I offer
this advice gratis to Messrs. Evans tt Watson.
The gkkat Safe Test win positively coma offai an
nounced, on Torrey and Twenty-first streets, between
Arch and Cherry, on tba sth of November next
weather permitting, and Llllle's Chilled Iron Safe will
be bnrned with Evans A Watson's, with the Boston
Steam Patent attached.
Tbe Safes will be bnrned In furnace equally, tho
roughly, and talrly, whether Evans & Watson respond
or not, In tba presence of tbe people.
Tbe burglar-proof test will also be most thorough.
Tbe two great leadlug principles of Llllle's and the
Steel Safe will be tested with drills, wedges, aud la
every way applicable to the burglar, that the people
may be able to Judge for themselves as to their merits.
M. O. SADLER, Agent,
No. 03 ARCH Street.
P. 8. The public will be quite aa well satisfied, no
doubt, to see Evans & Watson's Burglar Proof Safe
fairly tested with Llllle's on the ground, as to read
their yarns about pretended failures of safes In years
gone by.
I concede that Messrs. Evan A Watson may have a
great advantage in showing; the amount of losa in
safes by being robbed. Theirs are robbed so often and
so easily, that no prudent man dare leave them alone
with valuables that a burglar could use; while Llllle's
are left alone with large amounts all over tbe coantry,
the owners having lull confidence in them.
I concede, also, that Llllle's former safes are some
times robbed, and In tbe above trU propose to show
that bis present sate cannot be robbed by burglars.
Action, not words, Is my motto. M.C.B.. Agent
