TUESDAY, JULY 7, 18(J8. On Changes in Political Opinious. Wh lately took oooasion to say that while there re numbers of persons auoustomed to speak of lnoonsUtt-noies In politic, as if these were something extraordinary, a little reflection would show that political tergiversations hare been praotised by the greatest statarU!U in al' countries. When a well-known Kugltah de bater had inwrought into one of his elaborate Speeches a number of political changes which the late Sir Robert JVel bad made in the course of hu political career, he was answered with cutting satire by that ktatepman, that ''the gentleman had discharged the accuranlatioiH of ft yaoation !" Not long afterwards the learned and brilliant aocmar of Sir Robert Teel bo far recauted his former views as to deolare "the charge of apostasy is grossly un just. A man ought no more to bee tiled an apostate because his opinions alter with the opinions of the grea. body of his ooateinp va ries than he ought to be cillid au orieuttl traveller because he is always going round from west to east with the globe and every thing that is npon it." Kverybody knows that the tariff question, SO bitterly opposed by the South, nearly occa sioned a civil war during General Jacksou's Administration; yet bo late as 18 1G sooi-t of tho Southern statesmen (and among them was Mr. Calhoun himself, who even advocated the tuiaimum provision then for the first time in troduced into a tariff bill), with the Southern and New Eogland States went together against a tariff, while the Middle aud Western States Went for protection ! In a meeting of Boston merchants wa; held in Faueuil Hall in favor of free trade ! They sent Mr. Webster to Congress t represent thit interest, and those of our readers who may desire it will find a powerful free trade speech, delivered by Mr. Webster in 1824. As a strange con trast to this, some gool natured writer, not many years ago, raked up a report and resolutions adopted in Tammany Hall, in 1819, by Democratic politicians. This report was in favor of protection 1 If we retraoe our Steps a little backwards wa will lind that the dootrine of consolidation was likewise used by both the contending parties. It was used by the Demoorats against the Federal administra tion of John Adams, in opposition to which the Democrats got np the famous Virginia resolu tions, in 1798. When the Democrats tavored the war which afterwards took place with Great Britain, the cry of consolidation was raised by the Whigs, who got up the Hartford Convention. The same course was pursue! in the United States Bank controversy. Wheu the late Mr. Webster was on oue oecasiou twitted by the late Mr. McDuiUe, of South Carolina, for having changed his opinions oa this question, he replied, very justly, "A man may change hi? opinions, and yet ba an honest man." The slavery question furnishes another in stance. Without wishing to detract in the Slightest degree the merit justly due to Mr. Antony Benezet, of our State, it must, in jus tioe to Mr. Jefferson, be said that withiu a Very few years of the time of Mr. Banezet's appeal, he attempted, during his first fitting in the Virginia House of Burgesses, in lTtJK, to get a bill passed to allow owners to manu mit slaves, the laws then in existence not allowing them that privilege. Geueral Wash ington, though a Southern man, would Live manumitted his slaves during his lifetime, and was only prevented because they were the property of his wife. His opinions on Blavery even then are well known from one Of his letters addressed to General Lafayette. ''If you attempt to pass the Catholic disa. bilities bill, there is an end of the English Con stitution," said the Duke of Wellington, and both be and Sir Robert l'eel declared that they sever, never could be induoed to support such a measure, and both afterwards did support it. One of the most powerful opponents when the repeal of the corn lawa was proposed, was this Same Sir Robert Peel, mid yet he afterwards not only gave their repeal his bupport, but with that manliness and generosity which Were never wanting to his character, he pub lioly declared that the glory and fame of haviug achieved this happy victory belonged to Mr. Cobden. If we turn to France, the same lesson is repeated. "Think of Thiers and Guizot," somewhere exclaims Mr. l'eudeuuis in Mr. Thackeray's masterly novel, "and then talk to jne of your principles." We might easily manufacture a chapter, and a pretty long oue too, from French politi cal history aloue. Perhaps the example O, the present ruler is enough. Of all the exam ples we have brought forward, he is the most notable Fpfciuieu; fur all his professions, all bis pretended love of freed im we know wtre insinoere, fioiu the lime when he addressed himself to the uiemVrs of the Assembly in 1850, in which he said-. "The noblest objwet, and the mo3t worthy of au exalted mind, is not to setk when in power how to perpetuate it, but to labor inseparably to fortify, for the benefit of all, those principles of authority and morality which dfy the passions of m.n kind and the instability of laws." We all know What this moralist did in lc-51. No, it is not to Louis Napoleon that we would look for jus tification of change of opinions, or for example Of any kind. If mouarchs, even of the class known as despotic, such as Hmiry VIII aud Queen Elizabeth, have yielded to the public f lr-.rn.pr, nud withdrawn measures which they had set their minds on, rather than risk a doubtfnl contest with the people and Parlia ment, they aoted wisely, and with prudential motives. Want of space prevents our illus trating their positions, as we should like to do. But enough, we think, has ben shown to satisfy politicians that on the questions of the present day they need not fear on either side to be reproached with inconsistency. On the questions of banking, the currency, the tariff, etc., both the great political parties are now divided. Eminent examples might be produoed from either side in support of this view. Thus, to take only one instance : The Democratio party at one time was conspicuous for its op position to banking. That opposition ceased long bince. Whatever the future may give forth, we of the present day can say this much, in justice to the present party in power, that it accomplished two great works for which it deserves to be remembered, it put down the Rebellion, and it destroyed slavery. The Two- Ihiril It ill. The Democratic National Convention at New Yoik adopted the report of the Committee on Organization, recommending the adoption of the rules which governed the National Convention of 1864. Subsequently the ques. tion arose whether this action made the two thiid rnle binding, and no less an authority than the notorious Vallandigham declared that it undoubtedly had such an effect. The Presi. dent of the Convention announced that he would investigate this question, but he ap pears to have arrived at no decision before the adjournment yesterday, and meanwhile it seems to be understood that if the two-third rule has not been already adopted, in the manner indicated, il will be passed as a distinct proposition, for the discussion to which we have referred arose on a motion made by Mr. George W. Brewer, of this State, that "no gentleman shall be de clared the nominee of this Convention for President of the United States uuless he shall receive two-thirds of all the votes cast," which was temporarily withdrawn for the purpose of enabling the presiding officer to ascertaiu whether it was not unnecessary. The nearest approach to a rejection of this old "landmark of Democracy" was a proposition offered by one of the delegates, that the opinion should be expressed that no future Convention should adopt it. The real reason for the two-third rnle has been substantially destroyed. It was invented and sustaiued mainly to enable the Southern Democrats to prevent the nomina tion of any candidate supposed to be unsound on the slavery question, and it admirably served this purpose by perpetually warning all Democratic aspirants to high nationa1 honors that the conciliation of the South was an indispensable requisite of success. The ground on which the two-third rule was openly advocated was that it was inherently wrong to permit the States in which the Democratic party was in a clear minority, united with a few States that usually chose Democratio elec tors, to dictate a nominee to the Democratio States, and that the most certain and just method to prevent the latter from being bur. thened with an obnoxious candidatel was to enable one-third of the members of every National Convention to interpose a virtual veto npon the decisions of their associates. This rnle has surrounded the nominations of Democratio conventions with great uncer tainty. It is difficult enough for a prominent candidate to obtain a majority of votes, and almost impossible to secure a two-third en dorsement. The rule has already led to the nomination and election of two candidates, Polk aud Pierce, who had never been se riously sustained as Presidential aspirants prior to the assemblage of the Conventions which gave an unexpected stamp to their ob scure claims. But on the other hand it prompted Van Buren, smarting under a sense of injustice, to resort to the Free-soil movement of 1848 which defeated Geueral Cass, and it gave the bolters at Charles ton in IS (JO a fair pretext for their continued opposition to Stephen A. Douglas, which led to the election of Abraham Lincoln, and thus, while the Democracy won two victories by the two-third rule, it was equally powerful, indi. rectly if not directly, in causing their over throw on two memorable occasions, and in changiDg the whole current of American poli tics. Its tendency to bring to the surface ob scure ami undeserving men has had a damaging influence upon the welfare of the country. It has practically disseminated the lesson far and wide that true services and ependid abilities are rather an obstacle than an aid to the attainment of the highest honors of the Republic, and that Presidents may be chosen not for what they have done or are capable of doing, but on account of the obscurity of their records, and because they have mingled so little in the turmoils of pub lic life as to have awakened no jealousies, and to have made no active enemies From present indications the Convention now in session in New York will be guided in its selection of a nominee by this narrow rule It is probable that, after passing over the few candidates who have been prominently named, it will finally descend to the low level of medi ocrity in search of some accidental personage who is in no respeoi better or worse than thousands of his fellow-Democrats. The ao tiou ot the Republican Convention at Chicago presents a proud contrast with this system. Although it was bound by no two-third rule, it found a candidate worthy of unanimous sup port, because he had centred upon himself the allections of the nation by resplendent ser vices. General Grant and the Republican party were alike honored by this nomination, the former by the magnificent endorsement from the patriotio men of the country it im plied, and the latter because its aims and purposes were such that the great deliverer of the nation from the assaults of the Rebellion could wt worthily and appropriately enforoe and repre sent them. The Democratic party can find no similar representative of its views and princi ples, and its meagre prospects of suocess are based rather on schemes designed to blind the Amerioan people in reference to its true oharaoter and purposes than on the choloe of a representative candidate and a truthful platform. I'ercpicuous Telegram. It would require persons with far greater penetration than any of the general reading publio of the United States possesses to un derstand the despatches received over the cable in regard to the assassination of the Prinoe of Servia. All that we can definitely make out is that the reigniug Prince, name not given, was shot in his garden. The next information is that contained in the following paragraph: "A dm pa toll from Paris or June 21, Hays: After 11, e hccuhhUouh brotiittit agalusi I'll oca KarH-UenrgevlLCU C' n;-erulii the axHaniliiitt.loti hi. llelgiude, an aconuul ! ine muiiinr lu wnlou the uttwa of ibe evtnl was reo-ive'l oy iilm t-tof iuteieM.

" Could auything be more intensely vague than this despatch ? Who is the Prinoe of the Black Mountain t Who is the old Prince, and what is there in his saying that is creditable to him f But to keep up the folly we have this morning the following: J'.Ki.oKADK, July 6U. Nemolovle, brothor-lu law of Princi Kara Gcn-go liui been executed lor iarllciiailou In the receut consul racy. As we never heard of C. Nemolovie's arrest, or of his trial, or any suspicions directed against him, we must confess to a vague sur prise at his untimely execution. If the mind of the Associated Press agent was a logical one, he would know that it adds greatly to the interest of the conclusion if we are given the prtmibes. Woman's Itights. Mkh. Susah B. Antuoky communicated with the Democratic Convention yesterday, and was not treated with that deference which an cient knights would have been gratified with. Her commnnication was greeted with great laughter, and no small derision. If a woman so far forgets her sphere, so far unsexes her self as to appear before a body of six hundred men, she cannot expect to be treated with that regard which is her due. So long as she behaves modestly, and by her very helpless ness has a claim to attention and respect, we find few cases in America in which she has any cause to complain of any waut of defer ence. But when once she becomes the strong minded champion of what are inappropriately called "woman's rights," she forfeits all claims to respectful attention. She comes among men priding herself on her capability to take care of herself, and the New York Convention, in receiving with jeers Mrs. Anthony's letter, acted only towards her as she had every reason to justly anticipate. We hope that we will soon hear the end of this indelicate and obtru sive style of females forcing themselves into public notice. The Sanhedrim in Session. The Democratic Convention spent the day in silly arguments over petty questions of Par. liamentary tactics. A more profitless day for a national convention could not have been imagined. It was completely barren, and in dicates a willingness to fritter away time, which does not put the leaders in a very en viable light. The selection of Iforatio Sey mour as President effectually proves that his declination of the nomination is real. Had he been playing CVsar, and throwing away the crown only to secure it, he would never have occupied the position he doe3. It is antici pated that no less than thirty or forty ballot3 will be necessary before a nomination is made. As spoils, not principles, are the objects aimed at, there is no danger of any lack of harmony as soon as the selection is made. Consistent. Tub Democracy favor retrenchment. That is their constant cry. Next to "death to the nigger" there is none so popular as "econ omy." To carry out effectually these views Mr. Samuel J. Randall, of our city, offered a tesolutionin "favor of increasing tho pensions of soldiers and Bailors by paying them in gold or its equivalent." As this would just about cost the Government half as much again annually as is now paid for pensions the gross hypoerisy of the "retrenchment" cry is appa rent. The resolution of Mr. Randall was a transparent bid for the soldiers' votes, and is so self-evident that none can be deceived thereby. A Deinocrutic Speech. Genkbal Thomas Ewino was called upon to address the Democratic Convention yesterday, and did so amid much applause. Comment on Lis speech is unnecessary, as the text speaks for itself : "Since our meet tun here we have had tho pluiNUieof friendly lntercourso with many of the must prominent (ii nera's of trie CVnfcJ eia'.e aru.y. (Applause.) Knowing them to bo men of honor, comuiiilnii vIcwn with them, and feeling that their views and our views as to the pieoenl an J future policy of the Government coincide, we will take thorn, bi the hund as bioihers, (uppiause)." The great Vaux delivered a characteristic speech in New York. Being in a cheerful frame of mind, he declared "We have sur vived our Constitution and our country;" and proceeded to recommend that the "Fifth of July be hereafter celebrated as the anniversary of the downfall of negro rule and radical ty ranny." As the fifth was a singularly hot Sun day, in which nothing was done for or against negro rule, we cannot imagine why it is selected. SPECIAL NOTICES.
