THE DAILY EaiiNG TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, FK1DAY; AUGUST U, 1868, THE 1MPESMS0 CRISIS. Vy Wllllatn Lloyd aarrleoa, from the Independent Up to the Lour of the late Rebellion at the South, the Democratic party had, for half a century, nbown a readiness to comply with every demand of the slave oligarouy to aucment and perpetuate their power, Indicative of a uUr reoreancy to th cause of liberty and equal rights. A crouobing vassal, It had only to hear the crack of the overseer's whip to perform any service, however revolting to the feelings of humanity or violative of every principle and doctrine of genuine Democracy. Other parties were subservient, in the same direc tion, to a very criminal extent; yet not Without evincing some sen3e of shame aui a considerable division of sentiment in their ranks. They were more or less troubled by conscientious scruples, by personal Indepen dence of mind and action, by patriotic and liberty-loving impulses too strong for party trammels: and po could not be relied upon with the same certainty. But the Deinooratio party never had any virtue to be tempted, any integrity to be tried, any patriotism to be shocked, any regard for justice to be outraged on the question of negro slavery. Hence, it was in the hands of the slave power as clay in the hands of the potter; and, "as a vessel of dishonor," was constantly used for the vilest purposes. During the Rebellion, it left nothing unsaid or undone to enoourage the Rebel forces, short of rising en masse aud joining tbem on the battle-field. It bitterly opposed every measure of the Government for suppressing the Rebellion; it was for giving carle llanche to the South to secede or stay in the Union, as she pleased; it never raised a cheer over loyal victories, but grew hopeful and satisfied in proportion to successes; it had no tears to shed over the perpetration of that awful deed which shocked the civilized world, the assassination of President Lincoln for the assassin stood in sympathy with its policy, and removed a hated object out of the way. Neither the horrid massacre at Fort Tillow, nor the findish treatment of Northern prisoners at Audersonville and in other Southern prison-hells, could extort from it a word of sympathy for the victims, or a single indignant protest against such un paralleled atrocities. Its heart was as hard as adamant. Hy its factious course it greatly pro longed the bloody struggle, at the cost cf tens of thousands of lives aud hundreds of mil lions of dollars. Since the Rebellion was sup pressed, the Demooratio party has denounced and resisted every act of Congress impera tively called for to give unity to the Repub lic, stability to free institutions, protection to Southern loyalty, inspiration to all industrial interests, repose and security to the Govern ment. Its representatives in the national Legislature have, on all matters relating to Southern reconstruction, voted exaotly in accordance with the wishes of the Southern Rebels, audaciously pretending all the while to be actuated by the highest patriotio consi derations and the most sacred regard for the integrity of the Constitution. It has had nothing but unmeasured obloquy to bestow upon the Republican party, because of the embodiment in that party of the loyal feelings and purposes of the country; while its treat ment of those who treacherously rose up in arms against the Government has been charac terized by an ardent fraternity. It is as lack ing in vision as it is in understanding; it is wise to do evil, but to do good it has no knowledge. Its tongue is as an arrow shot out; it epeaketh deceit. There is no end to its falsifications concerning the party it is endea voring to supplant, and the expenses una voidably incurred to preserve the Union on the basis of universal freedom. Its recent national convention at New York constitutes its crowning infamy. There and then every mask was laid aside. Treason was hailed as loyalty, anl loyalty branded as treason; trea son shaped the platform; treason nominated the candidates; treason boldly announced the determination of the party, if success ful at the coming struggle, to Mullif'y all that has been done by Congress in regard to the South, to disfranchise the entire colored population and give them over to the tender mercies of their former owners, to inaugurate a reign of terror in that section as against all who maintain a loyal front, espe cially the so-called "carpet baggers" from the North, who may hope lor no mercy at the hands of the victorious Rebels, who are never so jubilant as when burning negroes alive by a slow fire, or barbarously lynching Northern advocates of equal rights. Even now, stimu lated beyond control by what they aohieved in Convention at New York, and before their triumph is assured in the success of the Democratio ticket, those red-handed Rebels are busy in shooting down the "carpet-baggers" aforesaid as legitimate game, and massacreing the helpless freed men on the right hand and on the left. Witness the recent slaughter of more than sixty of this suffering class in Texas, because they had the presumption to hold a political fathering, animated by the spirit of loyalty I f these things are done in the green tree, what will be done in the dry f Every mail from the South extends the catalogue of bloody deeds of this nature, and the murderers walk abroad not only with impunity, bat with pride and exaltation ! All other parts of the world are open to Northern men to visit, and reside therein, without personal opprobrium or peril, excepting the South. In that sec tion they are not to be tolerated if they are seen to possess any manhood, or avow any faith in the world-reconciling doctrine of "liberty, equality, fraternity." They may remain, how ever, on one condition that they will curse the Republican party, vote for the Democratio nominees, and be in all things as servile to rebel domination as the plantation slaves were to tneir overseers ana drivers. And this is American citizenship, forsooth ! Outlawry in one-half of the country, or a padlock upon the lips I "When or where has the liberty of Southern men been restrained on Northern soil in regard to any of their views, however distasteful f When or where have they ever been compelled to choose between death or conformity to Northern opinion f What claim have they to go where they please, reside where they please, speak as they please, East or West, North or South, that Northern citizens do not possess under the national Hag and by virtue of the Ameri can Constitution ? What if the tables should be turned upon tUdin f What if they should be huuted down on nuking their appearance amoDg us, as they hunt down those who come from the North with loyal hearts aud manly spirits ? Bat that Is impos sible. We are neither dastards nor barba rians. We are believers in the "Higher Law," not in lynch law. We claim no right for our selves that we do not accord to others. This weowe to our educational trainiug and our free institutions. In all our Northern domains there is no enmity cherished toward the people of the South; but a sincere doaire is fBu by those whom they regard with aversion, to ad vance their interests, and extricate them from the miserable condition which slavery and the Rebellion have reduced them. They need the means of popular education; and we are send ing them, at our own expense, teachers well qualified for the task, and worthy of their respect and confidence, but who are treated with scorn aui iusuH. They nw Northern capital; aul that capital is ready, to any extent, the mo ment it is settled that it can be as safely in vested at the Sonth as at the North. They need Northern enterprise, industry, inventiou, skill; and these are ready to go to their aid in developing the hidden resources of the South, lust as soon as the possession of a carpet-bag is no crime in that section, and the appearance of a Northern freeman is not the occasion for outrage and outlawry. But, alas I they are still cursed and bliulei by their slaveholding training, so that they are both intellectually and morally incapable of perceiviDg or under standing the philanthropic and magnanimous spirit of the North, and perversely construe its efforts for Southern en lightenment and elevation as designed lor tueir injury. Tula is a state or lunacy, rendering all appeals to reason abortive, and all presentation of facts labor lost. "They are mad upon their idols;" and this madness has been intensified by th action of the Demo cratio party, until their fury knows no bounds. With them the shedding of innocent blood is a daily pastime, as though they were slaying dragons. The Governor of Louisiana apprizes the President of the United States that not less than one hundred and fifty persons have been murdered in that State, with impunity, within the past month, by Rebel hands, and military aid ia invoked for the protection of the lives ot loyal citizens, lleaven only knows what scenes of cruelty and blood will be witnessed at the South between now and the Presidential election in November 1 The infatuated whites seem bent on re-enacting the horrors of St. Domingo, after the manner of the French in vaders. When they threaten vengeance, they mean all that they say. They will not shrink from committing any crimes, however mon strous. They glory in having been traitors, unfurl afresh, their Confederate Hag, and trample the stars and stripes beneath their feet. Their "lost cause," they exultingly proclaim, is to be saved and glorified by the success of the Democratic party in November; and then prepare for a jubilee in hell I "They all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net; the day of their visita tion cometh." "Forewarned, forearmed." Those who love their country, cheribh her free institutions, and mean to leave no evil inheritance to their children, have a mighty work to perform in reference to the coming Presidential eleotion. Tbe lines are drawn as between the living and the dead, between Christ and Belial; and the issue is as clear as it is tremendous. As the Democratic platform and theory of rebellion receive the Rebel yell of approval, every vote cast for the Democratic candidates will be in condemnation of all that was done by Presi dent Lincoln to preserve the Union, and all that has since been enacted by a loyal Con gress to make it possible for every man to Bit under his own vine aud fig-tree, with none to molest or make afraid, and clothed will the rights and immunities of an American citizen. It will be a treasonable expression in fact, whatever may be the intention of the voter. TEE WHITE MOUNTAINS. A Trip Over tit Mount Washtagtoa Railroad. A correspondent of tho Boston Transcript, writing horn the White Mountains, describes a trip over ihe aiou-jt W ushingiou Railway : ' This roinl is built under a. charter granted in 18.18 to the 'Mount Washington bteam Railway Comi-anj,' giving them the exclusive right lor twenty year to run a steam railway to the summits of Mounts Washington aud Lafayette, witn tbe privilege of locating anywhere except upon tho castcru or northeustcrn eido. A roud leading to the base of the mountain was com menced in April, lSGti, and in May of the same joar work upon the railway ocean. The roitd starts at a point seven miles from Iirabrook's the depot being 2700 feet above tho level of the sea aud is to be, when complete, 2 13-16 miles in length, rising iu that dUtanco 3GU0 feet to the Tip-Top House, which is C3dii ieet above the sea level. The average grale of Ihe track is 13U0 feet to the mile, but in plucks this grade is increased to 1700 feet, or one foot in three. If jou want to know how fcteip that is, put a pile ot books one loot high upon the table; then take a yard stick und put Due. end upon the table and allow the other end to rest on the edge of jour pile, and you have the grade oi me ruuroau at some oi luo steepest pans. Now place your railway, or imagine it placed, upon a trestle-work thny feet high, as at Jacob's Ladder, aud expect men to work about upon it. lilting heavy rails ami timber, e c, and you am tee that the progress made must be iu sucU parts very sIoa and so indeed it was; the men, liariul ot tliding back in spite ot thup spikes in their shoes, uud obliged to move about with extreme cautiou Ict they should bedashed on the rocks below, were only able to buiU twenty-five feet n day, whereas they arc lio.v easily laying eeveuty-nve feet a day. "Tlie rails are tliree iu number the two outer onej being mere Hit strip laid upjn lon gitudinal Mils, which rest upon cross-ties tue central aud important oue being a co-rail or ratchet, u.ade of wrought iron, wii.li very elrong cogs or pins, against which the testh of tbe duving wheel ot tue engine work iu ascend, iug and descending the road. These rails cost the eomnnnv three dollars Der foot in Uomon. and lour dollars deli i ere d at tho depot at the base of the mountain, "The locomotive is very peculiar in its con Ftruction; and it would be very dillieult, without drawings, to give an i lea oi its bhupe. Photo graphs huve, however, been taken ot the engine and car, aud cau undoubtedly be bought in Boston. I can only tell you thai it weighs four ton, and is of about iturty-ove horse power. The boiler is upright, and kuixz iu such a manner as to be at a level on all grades. Tue driving wheel is au eightcc u-iueli cog wheel running iu the con rail already described. The tender aud tue car are provided wru a Muiilar wheel, each sufficient iu iti-elf tj h ild ihe entire traiu, so that unless all three wheels should break al ouce, which is au utter imp'jesib'.lity, 'here cau be no danger ot hs running back without the content ot the engineer and brakesruuu.

Willi a blendy motion no janum or rockiu?, but merely a slight trembling like that of a Memner unJer tbe stroke of its t ii'fiiies step by step, oue 'pe' atutiu'.c, we moved v.p the mountain, at the rate ol about two in les au hour, straight to Wfirds the Tip-top House. Our first Mop was naile at (lie hekilit of two thousand feet, at a house occupied by the workmen ou the road, ai d cnllcd tlie 'Wiiuiubek J uueiion,' this bsiu the point where the bridle-path from btilliug's, ou the tohi lrorn (iorhaui to Jell'crcou, comes out on the lailroml. lljie we took in water at the well-known 'Culd iSpilng,1 and then went VA to the ibuvud 'UUvi,' ut tlie frot of 'Jutvh'u Ladder,' and two thousand six huilred fret above the oepol. At this point tlie road, for the first time, diverges considerably from IM direct course, n skinc a turn to the lett 1o Hvotd the itcepf-t part of 'the Ladder,' and ytt rmviu to overcome the sharp erade of one iu three n'rea 1y mentioned. The ascent lrorn the depot to the Ftcond station, includrng two stoopao tor water, occupied one hour and twenty riiinut'sj the descent, upon the lolloping day, only thirty eight minutes. "Thus steadily and surely, In the face of croasiogs una prophesies of thoe hostile to the nndcrtakii g that its completion would require two or three years more; utth a perseverance and nergy worthy of all pralie; promising little, but in reply to tn'.crrosH'ijm quietly say ing that be hoped at such a time to reach a eirlain nolrit. and al wavs doing i Air. Sanborn. with his corps of thirtvOve to forty men, has pushed on the woTk until now he Is ablj to say to us that in another week he will have reached a point whence the Tip-Top House can be seen, and whence it is an eaywalkof half a rail; to tlie summit that then he will be pist all the terp grades, will have no more trestle-work to build, but can go on laying his tra?k upon tho solid foundation of the mountain itself at the rate of ono hnndred aud twenly-five feet a diy, and that fifty days, If the wcathT Is good, will completo the road, and trains will run from the depot to the front door of the hotel. Then,' paid he to me triumphantly, 'the day wlH soon come when a man can breakfast In Uoton. dine at Plymouth, and take tea on the top of Mount Washington !' "In a day or two the company wl'l have noon the track a paeenger car cnpahle of seating fifty pntsngers, and nevt week it is expected that a regular train will commence running once a day from the depot to the end of the road, no'.iceof which will be given to tho public thiough the papers, together' with particulars as to ' fares, etc., not yet known. It maybe that the runuing of trains will be inaugurated by a little 'celebration.' " THE HISTORY OF fLOUDILKLS. A Ilciort of Illuatrloua VUltara. "Echoes from the Continent," in the London Itera'd, contains the following sketchy account Ot Mom Meres: "Parallel to the Schwarz-Wald, on the oppo site side of the Rhine, is the chain ot the Vosges, the French Alps. If those mountains are less f'rand and terrible than the icebergs ot hwitzer aud and Savoy, they are much more sympathetic to man. Tbe Vosges abound in rural beiuties, while the air is wonderfully bracing. Hero are detlles impenetrable to tbe sun, there gentle declivities as verdant and soft to the feet as the beet of our English lawns; here fresh valleys, there high peaks crowned with luxuriant trees and doited with towers and other leudal ruins. Nothing Is more pleading than to wander through those niossy paths, under tho,-e arches of verdure, along those limpid rivulets streamini; on the rocks, some ot them tributaries ot the Meditei ranean throuph the baonc and the Khone, and others mixing tbeir waters with the Rhine and the- North Sea through the Mcurthe aud the Moselle. "Well, In a nook of those enchanted regions lies Plomhieies with its sixteen hundred inhabi tant?. There is no villa-re that has received so many royal and illustrious visitors. Iu the six teenth century Montaigne wrote, 'The people of Plombiercs arc a bravo nation, free aul officious.' Later, Mar.-hal Ricbelieu cave a re spite to the town of Nancy, which he was besieging, to go and spent a few days In that watering-place. Some chroniclers will have it that the Puke came expressly to Plombleres to wash there io the Crucifix well his hand stained With Chalais' blood. "The King ot the Sceptics, Voltaire, pro ceeded also to the Vosges; he wrote: -I will batl.e in the Plombleres waters, though I don't believe in their properties; I will take them in the same way that I read the fathers of the Church.' He has left of the place a rhvmed description, of which this is the gist: 'From the depth of this stony den, between two horned mountains; under a black and rainy sky, where the stormy thunders ale curriud on thick clouds; clo e to a hot bath always dirty, tilled up with fuming aud boiling water; patients in ilaunel, wrapt-up or block-headed hypochon driacs, bathe and smoke themselves to torture for the sake ot health all tho while disputing and arguing on their disorders,' etc. "In 1770 the despoiled sovereign of PolaDJ, reduced to the simple 'Good Duke Stanislaus,' look to Plombieres two of Ins graud-dauglitcrs, Mesdames Adelaide and Victoire of Prance. Under Louis XV adulation was as fuls ime as ever. At Epinal, when the Princesses crossed the bridgo spanning the Moselle, they had a lancy lor fishing for gudgeons. At once the King s carriages were stopped, and his d-iuifhters alighted, dressed in lalbalas, very ample, and with trains prodigiouMy lone, while their coiffure a la Vathedraie he mode has becu re vived uownduys had thrown in amazement and puzzle the bystanders. A line was handed to each ol them; thy let it drop in the silvery stream, and in less than a minute they caught a full baket of pink trout and big pike. "Ibe Empress Jo-ephiue visited Plombleres in 18U8, but she lived there almost in seclusion. Perchance flic passed her time in dolefully musing ou the repudiation in store for her. "En revanche, the Princess Paulina Borgbese. who passed there the season of 1811, lived with ectat. the entered the little town dressed a tit 8(af, almost buried m cushions, muslins, and cashmeres, and on a palanquin carried by twelve negroes, wearing the Kastern costume. Behind her rode a legion ol aides-de-camp and five officers of the staff. "Madame Duchess of ngouleme resided at Plombieres In 1821). One year later she was at no iv rood i ft was on the 31 of July, 1842; the little town had put on its best atours; the houses were decked with flags and flowers, and the entire nooulation lined the streets. Prautic ucclama'ions suddenly rent the air. The Duke and Duchesi ot Orleans were in sight. Ihre days alter, the Prince, who was the hope of t rance, lett tue uucuess at rioniDieres to return to Paris on public duty, snyiug tt tho people who saluted him ou his departure, 'I Miall soou comeback. 1 coudde to you those who are deurcst to me.' At six o'clock on the eveniug I of the 14th the Duchess returned to town lrorn her usual drive. Her soil physiognomy, her kind regard seemea to ten tue people crowaru ! ou her way, 'I am hppay amoncst you.' Alas, ! during that drive a courier had arrived from Nancy. Tbe first impression was that he was but preceding the Duke ot Oilcans; but soou after the consternation of the household ot the i Princess led to the idea ihat a great uiUfomiiu 1 had happened. Was it the King? Was it the l'rtnce Koval r you cau coniccure now paiu tul it was to seethe PriucebS returning- home calm and happy, as when she weut oui three hours ai;e. "The Priucess bad a few guests to dinner, and she was on the point of entering the dialing- loom, when the prelect ot tee Vosires took upon himself the dolclul tatkoi break iug the sadness to her; onlv he commuted a pious he; he said tliut 1 lie Prince wai dangerously ill. It would be impossible ever to forget what di I p ihs then. On the one hand the puncess, full of terror and anguish, scanned iu luru the pretended de.-patch handed by the pre fee., and the prelect himself, to dotect the leant movemeut in his countenance; on the other side, the pre e.:t iu de-pair restrmnliiL' Ins tears, knowing tb'it the ralaoUuphe was Mid Greater than the knew, had coinage aud picccuce of mind enough to ati-wer the pressinc and numerous qu"sttous of the Piincfss, who insisted on being an rr red of the worst. An hour atterwardt the Princess was ready to leave. H was at that moment that her great and noble soul shone iu the fulness of its courage and kindness, fihe was a prey to funcs'e presentments; she she I abundant tears, aud she, neveitheles', 8tioi great resignation. Blie spoke to every oue; fche arranged for aft'onling more ns-.istmica to the poor, and the expressed the wish thai the good people of I lombieres should pray tho next morning lor the recovery of the Prince. Put on that morning the population cried and prated in the church ot I'lombieies lor the rcnose of the soul of tho beloved and valiant Prnco who had told them but ten days before. 'I shall soon come back; 1 confide tj you those who are deurest to me." "It was but Sunday last, a little after seven in tlie evening, an open cainae, drawn by to splendid hussian horses, entered I'lonibleres at u uU tiot.

As loni? aro as the davs when Jerusalem was in its power and might, if we are to believe tradition, there came a number of Jewish mer cliauts from the East, aud founded a colony In 1'rague. They did not deal iu cloths or clothes then, but trafficked extensively in slaves, the captives taken in the Jewish wars. So history cans this the oldest ueorew settlement in Eu rope. Co with us down to the liiver Moldati, which divides thecity Into two sections adark, sluggish stream, of little note in history. This Is the "Judcnstadt," or Jews' town. The streets are Darrow, dirty, and extremely unpleasant. The buildings are small, dingy, aud filthy, The whole section has a laige wall around it, and heavy gates. Within these narrow boundaries exist ten thousand people the "choseu people," if we may call them as they call themselves. Catholic intolerance has walled them in, and formerly locked the gates upon them at sunset. Tbey have been persecuted for centuries olteu been the victims of maasacre here in their poor hovels. Within the small enclosure they have ten synagogues. Singular people 1 They are the same here to day as thy were two thou sand years ago; living in the same faith, wor shipping in the same manner, eatiug the same food, observing tho same customs. Time chances everything but a Jew bim. never. Of all the peoples of the earth they alone main tain their nationality. Fortunately, it is Saturday, the nebrew Bab bath. In one corner of the ''quarter" stands a dilapidated-looking structure, sunk into the ground, tor it is so old that the streets have filled up almost lo its windows. It is a remark, able pile. The dust of eight centuries is upon its windows, aud the mold of years covers it. We enter. The dingy inteiior, lit by swinging lamps, is crowded to suffocation. It is the old Synagogue, the reveied spot of Jewish worship. There are a thousand voices mumbling prayers and hymns in unisoo, each person with a white mantle around bis neck, and head covered. The features aro the same that you have seen ia Chatham street, in the rag market, aud at the money changers. They have no more changed than have the customs of this peculiar people. Around the room are Hebrew iucriptions, and the books of the law are in the centre. It would be sacrilege to sweep the floor or to bruah down the cobwebs that have grown black and solemn through tue centuries. This is peihaps the oldest Jewish temple now need at the present day. It is surrounded by a small buryiug:ground, where the stones are piled one above the other. In this little square, scarce larger than the floor of a small house, ten thousand people have buried their dead lor eight hundred years: it is considered a sacred snot, and hither come thousands of Jewish pil- erims every year. Each stone bears the mark of the tribe to which the deceased belonged, and you can easily pick out the descendants of Levi aud Aaron. In the centre of the ground is a structure where tbe common grave clothes are kept. When a body is brought iu, be it that of a K'tbbin or of a lower class, it is laid out in the same cerements, and buried in the same com mon Held. But do not believe that the Jews of Prague are j oor, because they huddle together like ants aud live in filth and rags. It were a sal impeachment upon their race. It is cur rent in Prague that iu many a strong box iu the "Judenstadt" are hoarded millious of Austrian "guilders" aud precious stones of rare value. But like "Shylock," they never leave their house unguarded, and no "Launcelof remains long iu their service. LetUr lo Boston Journal.
