SATUUDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1867. Tin Tutur? of the ltepublicrtn Tarty. Tue Republican party is a tro wliioh has planted its roots eo deep as not to fear the blasts of adverse wind. If destruction con es, it will he the result of iuternal decay, sot external violence. If, then, there ia any sign of weakr.ops evident, it is the duty of the rueii.hers to look within, and see what has caused it. So far aa the principles of oar pftiiy are concerned, they are its towers of slrength. It is the first and only party w hich has seized on the great progressive ideas of the age, and made them its own. ' It is the only party which is of the people and for the people; and when we talk of its overthrow, we confess ourselves skeptical as to the ulti mate success of right. Despite the jers of the enemy and the dolorous wailings of our would-be friends, the trunk of the tree, to keep up our simile, i3 sound; it is only the tranches which have been weakened by a diminution of the vital forces. A brilliant and successful future is yet iu store for us, and those wh predict its early dissolution forget on what it bases its claim to popular support. The Republican party is emphatically the party of labor. Its heart has ever beat iu unison with the workman. It is his cham pion and friend. Not only U it the advocate of that great safeguard of the interests of our labor, protection, but it is the only party which is in favor of that gieat principle. Were it overcome, the wall which separates the indi gent and starving poor of Europe from the thrifty and comfortable laborer in America would be broken down. By competition all wages would be reduced to a universal level; and it requires no knowledge to know whether European labor would be elevated or our on degraded. The success of the Democracy would mean free trade, pauper competition, and a heavy fall of wages. ' When the comfort of millions depends on our success, when the future progress and development of our mighty cation rects on. the decision of the contest, who can doubt but that we will suoceed ? The country could not spare the Republican party now. The country could not afford to see the prinoiplee for which we contend defeated. Those, then, who talk about defeat, unless we defeat ourselves, are prophets of evil, and their dis couraging predictions pass by unheeded. Again, the great doctrine of our party, de clared by Jefferson nearly a century ago, that all men are created . free and equal, is one which day by day Is gaining ground. Five years ago it was the law that if a man was black his testimony could not be received in a conit of justice as if morality depended ou the color of the akin. Who would favor such a doctrine to-day ? Five years ago a Wack man could not invest his savings in a lot of ground, because no black could hold real estate, lias that doctrine an advocate to day? Ten years ago all who opposed even the extension of slavery, much less its con tinuance; were looked upon with oontempt, as fanatics. What man, North or South, would have it renewed now ? If, therefore, by the most deoided proof of which the mind is capable, we nee' from experience that prejudioe may be overcome by education, why should we deem it impossible or improba ble that what the people are not educated up to to-day will be favorably reoeivod by them ten years hence f It is well, then, for the Re publican party, after nailing to its mast the motto "Equal and exact Justice to all men," to bide its time and wait until the people are ready for its views. As we deem the time certain, to come, it is no abandonment of our principles, no pusillanimity, but only wise discretion to avoid forcing issues when unprepared, rather than wait until time shall have done for us what enlightenment cannot accomplish. Of the great magnitude of the question there can be no doubt. Can we, then, expect that the nation will be thrown Kick half a century in its prosperity by the defeat of the Repub lican party ? We will not believe it. Again, the permanence and security of our national debt demands that we should continue in power. It is a saored duty imposed upon the nation to pay its indebtedness, and the Democracy are already conjuring up their brains to see how actual, if not open, repudia tion can bo accomplished. The honor of Ame rica, therefore, demands that we have the ascendancy. Can those who have watched the progress of our nation believe that such an eternal stain will be allowed to soil our na tional honor ? The great principles, therefore, which are bound up In our party, and which are of such Vital importance to the future greatness of our country, are bulwarks on which we build up our abiding faith in the continued life 0f the Republican party. All that i9 requisite for viotory is wisdom. When, therefore, we criticize the policy of our party leaders, we say not a word against the party. With it, good or bad, in victory or defeat, our lot is irrevocably cast. But believing as we do that a correction of internal evils will leave us nothing to fear from external foes, we have spoken with frankness and not with despon dency. It is because we are so sure that we can win, that we do not hesitate to point out the evils which have crept into our organization, and which are the only means of endangering its life. There has been too much .dovotion to side issues, too much corruption, tao much headlong advocacy of principles Which, altbortgh true, It is indiscreet to foroo, without preparation, ou the people. What we want is to oorreot the mistakes to out free from side questious to purify the party to make energy be tempered with common sense. If these be accomplished and we see no reason why they should not be we consider the victory of our party next year as certain as the day of election arrives. There is no cause for despondeuoy. On the contrary, we are far stronger to-day than we have been for years. We are strongnr in that we know where we are weak. We seo the wrong, and can correct it. Let, then, all of the party keep of good heart. A little exertion will place us on that road, broad and straight, which leads to power. A little exercise of energy, a little effort to cast out corruption, and a little caution to the Hotspurs of our party," will make our army invincible. EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE. ' From Pittsburg t Chicago Impirt. nee of this Line of Koad io Philadel phiaConnecting Link for the Pacific Unllroart Commerce Manufacturing Villa gee In Ohio-Sleeping. Care Venti lation and Heating A Railroad 8mah Vp, Etc. C'Iiicauo, Tsov. 23. I left Pittsburg yesterday afternoon, by the Pittsburg, Tort Wayne, aud Chlctigo lit. Ur oud. This road. In connection with (lie Pennsylvania Central, U a favorite route from Chicago lo tbe East. It Is very direct, there are few charjges, the roads ara well managed, and good time is made without excessive rates of speed. The "Fast" line, having Philadelphia at 12 o'clock noon, makes tbe run to Chicago In thirty-three hours, a dis tance of 8:;:j miles. The route is also a desirable one for shippers, goods bolDg forwarded with out delay and in good time. I wus told In Pitts burg, by one of her business men, that tbe Pllibburg, Fort Wayue, and Culoago ltoad under tbe eOli'lent lnntmgemeut of its President, General cat?, is piiylng regularly a dividend of ten per cent, pur annum on its stock. In thee days of tlie depreHiloii of rail road stocks, and of imi.ulur unbelief In their value as an Investment, this fuel is worth men tioulng. ThW road is oho til great Importance to Philadelphia, as it Is her only direct routo to Chicago, tue great tmpo Kim "f the Ytsf, and this impcrtance is much enhanced when we look at tbo probable development of the com. mercc of thu fu'ure, coiiseqiieiit tijiou tbo com pletion of the Pat 1113 lUtlro.uI. Trains arc uov running regularly from Chicago, by way of Omaha, lo Chejenuc, at the foul of the K'Uy M(untulus. The route is very direct, being In an almost duoeast and wtslllne. At the same time, Chicago, not content with this ensy ai sure monopoly of the busluesi of tli'j main line of tho Puclflo Itoad, Is sirelcbliist out her arms to control, or at least divide, tbe business of the Kansas Pariflo Uond. By a road Just com pleted from Cameron, mi the Hannibal and St. JoHorh Railroad, lo Kansas City, the eastern terminus of tbe Kansas Puclflo Road, Chicago I? placed in dlreot connection with (he latter road. Two immense bridges are being built, the one over tbe Missis sippi at Quincy.tbe other over the Missouri at Kansas City, and when these shall have been completed, loaded cms can ruu without break or transshipment from Chicago to the western terminus of tbe Kansas brunch of the Puclflo Rutin ad. Chicago thus grasps tbe eastern terminus of oaod of these great lines of road, which are so rapidly pushing beyond the west tin frontier. This fuel cauuol fail io give her great influence over the commerce of these roads, and to muke her the virtual point of distribution for it. In this view of the subject, tbe Flllsburg and Chicago line becomes one ot great Interest to Philadelphia, for It enables her to compete for a business which, otherwise must pass unchallenged to New York and Boston by tbe more northerly and easterly lines. The run from PUlsburg through Western Pennsylvania and Ohio was a pleasant one. The air was peculiarly soft and balmy, bo that we sat with open windows, while the mollow bazeof the Indian summer atmosphere gave a subdued and quiet aspect to the ever-changing landscape. This section of the country was suffering greatly from drouth-, the fields look ing brown and bare, and tbe roads deeply en cumbered with dust. I was gratified, however, to observe that the iall wheat was looking finely In most places, though the breadth sown does not seem to be large. Fine villages of from five to eight and ten thousand Inhabitants are growing np all along this road, such as Alliance, Mansfield, Masslllon, Fort Wayne, Crestline, etc. All or them have, more or less, a manufacturing basis. The mak ing of agricultural Implements seems to be a specialty. All through the West tbe use of new and Improved maohlnery In conducting farm ing operations has Increased wonderfully dur ing the past few years. As a consequence, an Immense demand has grown np for reapers, mowcrr, threshers, separator--, horse bay-forks, and tbe like, which has stimulated this branch ol manulacturcs Into activity iu many even of the smaller towns. MoCormlck, of this city, has made a inllllonare' fortune out of his reapers, and others have mad a great deal of money in the business, The farming opera tions of the Wot could not be carried on at all, on their preset scale, without the aid of Improved. mabluery. And yet tbe demand hasnot been satisfied. The prairies will never yield their full product nntil the team plough shall be brought to such perfec tion as to Insure Its general tsse. This great State of Illinois does not cultivate, as yet, ouu lifth of tbe area of her arable land and yet the aggregateorheraRrlcultural productions exceeds those of any other Slate in the repuoiio. We took supper at Alliance, a smart, growing village at the intersection of the Pittsburg and Chicago and Cleveland and Pittsburg Rail roads. The fare was good, tbe charge reasons able, and a sudlclent time was given for eating tbe meal. I observe of late years, In travelling, a growing improvement la railroad eatiug bouses. Tbe meals are better, more abundant, and better cooked than they used lo be. Yet they might be better. You get no good cofl'ee. The decoction acid under that name is a vile imitation of the genuine article, and is made, I suppose, from some of the "esences" or "pre parations" wnloh tbe hUh prices of real cotlee curing the past lew years have brought Into Our railroad sleenlnu cars are a stranare mtx- Uireofgood and evil. As select and comfort, able oars durlrjg the day they are admirable, and quite worth tbe extra fare paid for thern. , ,lVin oar" 1 mt denounce them ai simply abomlnablo. and that for one cause-Vio la.- o ventilation. A the most of them are cons ructed. there ta not sufliolent means of ve ntilation and the faclim.. that are afforded ie almost universally discarded by the Ignorant persons In chargs or te car Ta9 consequence U that forty or ntif porsons are confined all night In a tight box. to breathe and breulne the corrupted air, exhausted of ita "xgrn, lo start with, by two s'oves. The iflVctH ii.nst be deadly In tho extie:ii, e.-peulally upon those who often uio ihom. Aul yet, strange lo say, you rarely hr-sr pisners complain. They seem lo sleep right Mi rough It all with th utmost unconcern, i did see one lady, how--ter, rn this train, wto gnve up her state room after she bad taken 1'. and changud for en open t-catlon, btouiise (he itt.ile-room was too confined. The fact seems to be that, tho mass of people who travel, and are able to sustain tbe extra expense ofsieoplug earn, re not sultl- clontly accustom d to pr-.pcr,y ventilated sleeping rooms ul homo to bo conscious of the terrible wa.t of ventilation la tho cars. Tne true rem. dy Is to so build tho cars that veutila ti( n snail bo Infallibly secure, iudepeudenl of t) e passengers or uttendants. Here is a cuanoe f r the Inventive gtnlus of Mr. Ieds, of our city, wbose admirable leceuros upon the venll lullroi of bouses ought to be more widely cir culated among tbe masses. If people lived in well-ventilated bouses, they could not en dure without a protest our Illy-ventilated cers. The present method of boating railroad cats is also lueUlcleut, and un philosophical to tbe last degree. A stove at each end of the car merely warms the air la the upper section of tbe car, about the passengers' ncads, while tbe floor Is left almost as cold as though there were no fire ut all. What is wautod is some method by which the floor, or the passengers' feet, shall bo healed. Until that is done, the beallog of rail road cars will have to bo put ou a pnr with their ventilation. I speak of these matters because there are no people who travel so much as Americans do, and Intelligent criticism Is what our railroad managers need. Our railroads have many ex cellent features, but In some respects they inlht bo vastly improved. We passed through a good part of Ohio in tho nlgbt.and should have made Fort Wayne, Ind., for bicakfast; but towards morning we came lo n prolonged and ominous bull. The uutisuat silliness, like that of a boat which has made her port while you were asleep, awoke the pas sengers, and in response to the usual buzz of inquiries as to what was tao matter, we were informed that there bad bovii u smash-up, caused by tbe collision of a couple of freight trains, and that lbs track was so obstructed that it would require several hours to remove the Oebr is so as to allo w us lo pass. A vUit to the wreck confirmed the s'ut niout. Tno accl oent bad occurred iu this wise: A frelg it train going East had stopped at n small station called. Monroc-vhle tj tu'ic ou u lot of hogs. The station, It seems, wis not a regular stopping place, but merely a swH'jil for taking ar.d Raving freight, ss occash n ml?ht require. Another freight ttv.lu following the llrst was not notified of this stoppage, and, running along at full spet-d, ran into the roar of the llrst. while it was taklug ou the stock, and made a Ir.miciK Ous wreck. .Several of the bogs were killed, cars were smashed, whirled uround ncrosB the track, tua into and ou top of one another, corn scattered for rodi along the road, uud a genulno tmu.-di-up made. Foitunutely no person was injured. The responsibility for the accident seemed to be divided between the telegraph opera!or at tbe action bick, who had ntglected to Inform tho following train of the stoppageof tho other at VJonrocviile, and the conductor of the train which stopped In omit tiutttoseiid backaflagmau to guard the rear. As the railroad company must have lost seve. ral thousand dollars Dy tne accident, I presume It will fix the rtsponslolllly somewhere. Had It been a passenger train thus run into, the loss of life would have been fearful, aud perhaps as horrible as that of a few dajs since on one of the r ads leading Into Cincinnati, where several persons were burned to deth. After about five hours' delay the tr ick was sulliolently cleared to allow us to pass, and we fped ou our way. We arrived In Chicago after all the buturday trains ou connectlug roads for points beyond bad left, much to thedistppotntment of some of our passengers, who had hoped to spend Ibe Sabbath with ibelr families, but were ob liged to stay over in Chicago.
