Their pertinacity, and the el rctJvenenH of their HVKlein of orirtinixntlnn, make XhelrproHpects of hiicci'sh of Interest to the country.'' All that the World professed to do in the nrtielo to which tho J'oxt takes exception, was to enumerate some of the recent siirns of the times favorable to the Democratic party. A mer rhant may employ himself usefully in looking into his books to ascertain the Rains of the pre ceding month; and It would be ridiculous to represent the result of such an examination as a fomplete statement of his assets nud the solidity of his credit. For the first two or three months nftcr tho Presidential elcetiou there was a lull, a port of political torpor; both parties waitint: and TvatehiiiEf with bullied curiosity, speculating upon the policy of Ccneral Grant and the composition of his Cabinet. The President elect was BueU an inscrutable sphinx, and the politics of the immediate future depended bo muck upon what sort of a bird m'mbt tie .hatched from the unehipped eir, that the public judgment was kept in a state ot su-pense until after the inauguration. It is absurd to pretend that the Republican party had not a heavy stuke in the success of the new administration. When the first two months had developed nothing but a succession of blunders blunders so egregious that honest Republican journals.like the Chicago ZTribune were constrained to cry aloud in tones iif deprecation and warning it seemed natural to post tho new entries into the political ledger ynd estimate their eff ect on the balance as it tood at the date of the last settlement. The ,1Vorld accordingly collected and summed up several of tho new items, and made it apparent enough that they were favorable to the future Success of the Democratic party. Thus far, General (irant has disappointed the hopes and belied all promises and predictions of those who advo cated his election. His mistakes and weakness lire fatally damaging the party by which he was chosen. "The discredit into which the new ad ministration is falling is an advantage to the Democratic party, because it will cure multi tudes of honest" citizens of the hallucination under which they have been laboring, and open their minds for a candid examination of Democra tic principles. It is, of course, on the soundness and value of itsprinelples that the party rest all its hopes. Hut the Evening Post has the assu rance to assert that the Democratic party has uo positive principles. It winds up its arraignment iind invective In the following strain: "Tho misfortune of the Democratic party is that it lias fallen to be a party of negations. It 'hates the HlKKcr,' It hates the Republicans, It hated the war, It hates the debt; and the summit of statesmau Hhtp In the Democratic party nowadays consists of tilmse of the Republicans and decrying the blacks. J'hey have been doing this ever since the Republican party was formed, In 1850; they managed to retain power by this policy for some years ; but we do not Jiclleve they will ever be again trusted by the Ameri can people, unless they show themselves capable of eomething IxHter than this. "Before they are likely to carry the country in a general election, with their war record and their .history since the war, they will have to grow llrst Into a formidable and respectable opposition. At present the Democrats have not able debaters enough In Congress even to put the Republicans on their mettle; they have not tho means to attract at tention to their principles even if they had any principles; and, so far as we can see. they are agreed upon no political principles or policy even if they Jiacl orators to state them." The Democratic party is not a partv of mere negations; and even if it were, that would not necessarily be a reproach. It is the chief func tion of an opposition party to take the negative eide and bring into clear exposure the mistakes and mismanagement of the party in power. All parties which assail abuses, uproot errors, ex pose dishonesty, or act as checks on insolent and usurping authority, are, 60 far, parties of negation. The Bible itself is perhaps the most negative and denunciatory book in the world. The ten commandment are a series of prohibi tions, containing eight "thou-shalt-nots" and only two "thou-shalts." Magna Cbarta was a lrandle of restraints upon the abuse of authority. Tho American Revolution was, in its origin, a movement of pure negation and denial. All the great humanitarian and benevolent reformers, from Wilberforee down to -Mr. Jtergu, have been mere negationists and assail ants. Government, it has been smartly said, is, like clothing, a' badge of lost innocence. Its object is to hold human rapacity and violence in check; and as rulers are also human beings, with far greater powers to plunder and oppress, one of the most Important and useful spheres of politicaljactivity is opposition. It is the con stant tendency of power to encroach upon liberty; and while the world lasts the most im portant service which patriots can render to their country will consist in restraining gov ernments within proper bounds. It is an old Democratic motto that "the world is governed too much;" and the Evening Post itself, when a disingenuous partisanship does not get the better of its Judgment, gives its prac tical assent to this maxim. The greater part of its editorial writing is habitually on the nega tive side; its opposition to Government iuter ierence with trade and industry being the most conspicuous example. For such a paper to ob ject to the Democratic party that it freely prac tises negative criticism is self-stultifying. For any journal to find fault with a strenuous nega tive in politics evinces a misconception of the prpcr sphere of governmental action. When governments become so self-restrained that there is no need of political opposition, the world will be In the millennium, and govern ments no longer be necessary. In the Democratic organization, there is as much unanimity in leading principles and as much fidelity to long-cherished convictions as is ever possible among large bodies of men When the freedom of Individual judgment is re spected. The Democratic party is the strenuous advocate of local self-government; and under our mixed political system, It lias always been the champion of tho right of the States to con trol their internal affairs. The Pout cannot say that this principle is unimportant, or that it docs not form a conspicuous and perfectly well-marked dividing lino between the two great political parties in this country. In the great battle that is yet to bo fouglit between the advocates of State rights and tho abettors of Federal en croachment, nobody can doubt that the success of tho former will be a great Dem ocratic victory. The Democratic party has, in recent years, been unfortunate In the fact that the just abhorrence of African slavery strength ened the nartv of Federal encroachment and con solidation. But the Democratic party no longer Tests under that incubus. It will hcrcalter fight its battle on more equal terms. And no mind V'hich is unwarped by prejudice can doubt that relief from that heavy load is lavorauie to nit triumph of tho Democratic principle of local tol f.irriwriimfMit. Tim nemocnitle nartv. both by its instincts nnd Its' antecedents, is on the progressive and winning bide in all tho industrial and financial questions which are likely to bo tho chief topics of political debate for the ensuing tour vears Both the Morrill tariff and the still more Absurd- and oppressive tariff under which tho trade and industry of Die country now fcroail 'were passed by a Republican Congress. Nino-tunths of all tho Republican papers in tho i'.,i.,wi stntea ii r suiiDorters of protection. while there is hardly a Democratic journal which has not always twix ft etc iiUvwuto of. Irw trade. It is self-evident, thereforo, that tho I spread of free trade principles which is now In ( progress, and the fresh interest and activity with which tho question is discussed, are cmi- i aii.j n,wfiiirnrrn tlio lump rif thn I iii'iii.ily inn.ii ,i.vwm. - - - i - Democratic party. - It is trud that our representation in Congress is small and out of all proportion to the numbers of tho Democratic party; but we labored under the same disadvantage last year, when a politi cian so experienced and sagacious as Chief Justice Chase desired to be our candidate for President, in full faith a faith shared bv many Republicans that ho could be elected, lie may have been mistaken: but his willingness to bo the Democratic candidate, and the desire of many Republicans to vote for him as such, prove how little the party is damaged in public. estima tion by what tho 'Post calls its "war record." And as the war recedes more and more into the past, the misrepresentations and obloquy with which the party was loaded during the content will rapidly fade out of the public mind. Had the Democratic National Convention made no mistakes last year, the party would either have elected its candidate for President, or have come very near electing him: and surely its prospects are every wav brighter now than ihev were four years auro. BARON BOZ. pniii flu1 .V. Y. Tribune, "My dear friend," once said Charles Lamb, full of mystification, to a learned but simple-minded gentleman, "it is whispered that you are to be made u peer." "O dear, no: I " hope not; it would not suit me at all," was the reply. "Well, I suppose," stuttered Lamb, "that yon cannot help yourself: they will make youapeerwhether you wish or not." And olf went poor George Dyer, devising ways and means to keep himself from being made "a peer! We trust that Mr. Charles Dickens is not in a similar dilemma; but it is whispered that he Is to be created one of the nfw life Peerage. Men of letters in England have been made belted knight or baronets; but although titular distinctions of a higher order have been bestowed upon writers and scholars, it has been for political services, as in tho well known cases ot Bacon, Brougham, Bulwer. and Macaulay. Upon the whole, we think that a writer whose claim is on the public affection, and wlioe throne is in the public heart and of whom is this more eminently true than of Mr. Dickens? can 111 afford to discard the cheery and familiar name which has been uttered by so many lips with admiration or affection. When we would express the one, we use plain "Mr.;" but when wc arc governed by the other, we drop even this. We presume that nobody has said or written "Mr. Burns" since that great man died: yet it-is noticeable that we almost always say "Mr. Carlyle," as if Thomas were a person by no means to be trilled with. Goldsmith happened to be a sort of doctor of medicine, and Johnson was made an LL. D., and so both arc known as "Doctors" to this day; although we relieve ourselves sometimes by saying "fioor Goldy," and sometimes by writing "fain Johnson." What a blessing it is that the fashion of making literarv lords has come in so late! Otherwise we would have had Baron Bolteourt or Sir Oliver Goldsmith. That would not have suited us at all. We have always thought the "fir" before Richard Steele's name an imperti nent superfluity. It is impossible to forget that in making Mr. Dickens a nobleman all tho honor and glory would be on the side of the Government. The fame of that gentleman is established. lie has already an estate in every generous mind, and not even in the days of chivalry could the most powerful lord boast such a band of retainers. His are achievements as treat as any which ever won spurs or a coronet; his have been blwodless triumphs over cruel wrongs and panoplied in justice: his battles have been waged against out rage and oppression with the 'pen, and why should he be called to honors which are oftcnest associated in men's minds with the butchery of the sword, or with revolting subserviency to the crown? The credit of tho installation is car ried to the side of Government. It does not make the genius of Mr. Dickens one whit greater, but it chows Its own wonderful appreciation of genius in general. It trades in popularity upon his brains. It claims a share which docs not in the least belong to it of his hardly-earned laurels. It calls upon the world to ndmire Us magnani mity in bestowing such unexampled honors upon a writer of romances, who has neither conquered armies nor captured fleets, nor even made a monstrous fortune upon the Stock Exchange. It cannot be forgotten, either, that the honor offered is a cheap one. Admission to a life peerage, while a great hereditary nobility con tinues to exist in England, will bring but little social consideration, and the real princes will look down upon the mock princes, as baronets have always looked down upon " knights. A nobleman whose patent dates from the Conquest will regard a novel-writing peer much as the Duke of Norfolk might look upon a Scotch Judge; and will "My Lord" him as the grandees of fDain used to "Mv Lord" the new dukes and marquises, while they addressed each other with careless familiarity. Succession is the root and essence of nobility. A peerage without a pedigree, or the prospect of creating one, 1b a substantial solecism. While it brings no special social consideration, it involves an increased ex penditure in keeping up a barren dignity. It does not found a family. It does not mako a man an ancestor. He is lower in tho pages of Jiurke or of JJebrctt, lor all Ms peerages, than the poorest baronet. Finally, we must be allowed as American Re publicans to put in our protest. Mr. Dickens Lharies Dickens Dickens belongs to us. lie has been more generally read and more popu larly admired here than even In England. If we may be allowed to speak with a certain rough sincerity, it shall be to affirm that upon this side ol the water we Hon t tike Lords at all. If the Queen would but ask Mr. Dickens to din ner, or buwrlte him a half-familiar note to say how much enjoyment his last book had given her, we should be pleased if we thought that tho attention gratified him. But we give notice that we shall call him plain Dickens to the end, whatever may be tho augmentat ions of his escutcheon. CUBA AND THE NEW CAPTAIN GENERAL. Frvm the ,V. J', llmraUX. Our recent advices from Spain state that Gene ral Dulee's urgent telegrams to be relieved of his government of Cuba have been acceded to. Ho has probably been compelled to take this step by the condition of his health, which is very far Iron) being good; but no doubt the situation of Spanish affairs there lias much Intlueuce in augmenting the urgency of his request. The Captain Generalcy of that Spanish colony has ceased to be the easy and profitable position which it was up to a recent date. Three years Is the established term for holding tho office, but a shorter period has been the usual practice for many years past; and yet of the many captain generals who have been sent out from Spain since the time of Vivcs, who governed forty years ago, every one, excepting only General Ezpeleta, has the public reputation ot'haviug returned a mil lionaire to the peninsul.i. Events which have tr.mspired during the last six months have materially changed the value of tho office. Revolution has overthrown tho Spanish authority In one-half of the island and made Its tenure very precarious in tho other. The. Cuban leaders have decreed the abolition of tlavory. and with tins decree the African slave trade, which was the gre iter source of emolu ment to the Captain-General, lias disappeared. J he war of reprisals, a, carried on there against both person and property, is destroying inJustry and trade and driving the wealth of both parties to seek safety elsewhere. With these the revenues of the government are naturally disappcarinir, while its difficulties daily in crease. I bus little profit and lew laurels are to be gathered by Spanish commanders, and tho hope of succor from Spaiu is us remote os it was to the old governors sent to the Spanish main. With this chango of circumstances it is uot surprising that tho once coveted office goes a begging. Months sineo General Dulco scut his resignation to Madrid, and tho place was ten dered to (ieueral Prim. It was thought to bo a good chance to get rid of this factious and men tally insignificant element in Spanish politics; but'Prim was too keen to tako the bait. Cabal loro do Roda wuu tUtiU IwliCil tQ s tk military leader best ablo to cope with tho difllcnltle of the situation, and it was announced that ho would be sent. But tho situation of Spain her self is too critical to spare for a colony a man who, from all the. signs evident In tho flel 1 of view, might soon bo a necessity for tho preser vation of the homo government. A chango In the Spanish government of Cuba Is a necessity, however, and tho Spanish Ministry have ap pointed probably their best soldier to cope with the difficulties of the situation. The a;mroaeh ing change of command, combined wltu'tho ad vi nt of the rainy season, will have the efto t to prevent much activity In military operations on the part of tho Spanish forces, nnd the new Captain-Genera! will find plenty of work on his hands when he arrives at his po'-d. IMPORTANT FROM PERU THE RECOGNI TION OF CUBA. Fnmi the. X. )'. llrrald. We have the important intelligence that "Peru has recognized the Cuban patriots as bellige rents, and has decided to urant them all the privileges attendant on that character." This solves the mystery of those two Peruvian iron clads bought in this country and at present iiuvcimg wiiiuii animus sicaining oi Havana. Peru, in short, means in this declaration of bel ligerent rights the reopening of her war with Spain, and Chill and Ecuador will back Peru. Tho opportunity is inviting for a decisive settle ment on their part with Spain, and iu serving Cuba they will serve themselves. Whether those two iron-dads will be sold to the Cubans or held in reserve for a crack at the Spanish fleet before Havana, the tact will shortly be made known. That those two Peruvian war ships in the West Indian waters are intended for a deadly blow at Spain cannot be doubted, and Peru has had suffi cient provocation to justify it. As lor the Peace Conference proposed bv the United States, and agreed upon by Spain, Peru, Chili, and Ecuador, it may be considered as dis missed; and if so we may have a declaration of the renewal ol hostilities from those Peruvian ships in front of Morro Castle. The cause of the Cubans is wonderfully brightening. Several de tachments of warlike filibusters from the United States, with valuable supplies of artillery, sm ill arms, and ammunition, etc., have got into tho island. And tncy have already turned the tide of the war to active and successful offensive operations. Now, with Peru following tho ex ample of Mexico iu the matter of belligerent rights, the Cabinet at Washington ought to feel ashamed ot us timidity and delay, especially with the encouraging nnd emphatic resolution of the House of Representatives in behalf of deci sive action on this subject. A proclamation of belligerent rights to the Cubans from President Grunt would now settle the question in Cuba in less than a month. In fact, the Peruvians may settle it within that time: but what a sorry settlement this would be for the United States! We expect the annexa tion of the island of Cuba; we want it, and we ought not to depend upon the unaided efforts of other mends ot liberty to secure the prize. We sav that General Grant ought to be ashamed of this sort of American dignity and decorum. It is nonsense, it is stupid old fogy ism. and we nave had enough ot it. Dignity, the fitness ot things, and the cause of peace and humanity call for the intervention of the United States in this business iu some decisive form. To avoid the complications and entanglements which other wise may follow, General Grant should at once in behalf of the Cubans, issue his proclamation of belligerent rights; for, from present indica tions, this is tho form which, after all, our reparation tor English belligerent rights will have to take. A DIFFERENCE. From the X. Y. Sun. The English papers are loud in their com plaints about the neglect of the graves of Briti-h soldiers in the Crimea and at Scutari. Our an nual floral festivals, which commemorate the victims of our war, must convince the world that in this particular we are more fortunate than the "mother country." Not that we are any more given to mere thoughtless emotion than the English, but our people are more demonstrative and more liberal in the display of their sympathies. Moreover, the genius of our institutions impels us to pay that homage to the rank and file of our army and navy which in Europe is reserved only for a few great captains. And then the surviving relatives of the men who fell in the service of their country feel gratified by the posthumous honors paid to their kindred, while, at the same time, this annual tribute ac quires more and more a national significance, and cements a love of peace by periodically re minding the country of the ravages of war. At the International Congress assembled in lb07 at Geneva, to provide for the better treat ment of soldiers wounded in battle, the wise men congregated there incredulously listened, as if to a story of Haronn-el-Rashid, to the narrative of the marvels of humanity achieved by our Sanitary Commissions and the indefati gable charity of American women. Now they will learn that, after having taken care of our wounded soldiers with a tenderness unknown outside the realms of romance, we surround the graves of the dead with a panoply of reve rence and love equally unprecedented in the annals of mankind, and relieved from the taint of sentimentality by a vigorous national spirit that knows how to honor the manhood which shrank from no sacrifice, either of life or for tune, in order to preserve the integrity of the Republic. So such stories about the neglect of soldiers' graves us those which sadden the columns of tho London Times are to be found in American pa pers. We trust that the example exhibited by us will have an inspiring influence abroad, and relieve Europe from the hideous aspect of the neglected graves of those who have fallen on the Old-World battle-fields. GENERAL BUTLER'S POLICY. ' From they. Y. Times. General Butler's address at Gloucester on Saturday, at the meeting to decorate the graves of Union soldiers, was in the main appropriate and in good taste. Wo do not see the wisdom or policy of the exhortations with which it closed, to keep in memory the evil England did us dur ing our war, and to nurse a feeling of eternal resentment therefor. England's course, cer tainly, was not friendly to us but it was quite as friendly as was that of France or that of Spain; why, then, should she be singled out for such enduring resentment, while other nations equally culpable tire tacitly forgiven ? It is well established, as a historical fact, that duing the war the Emperor Napoleon proposed to recog nize the Confederate Government on condition that England would join him in so doing; and nothing but the peremptory refusal of tho Eng lish Government prevented his doing so. Vet General Butler has nothing to say of the un friendly action of France, and no exhortation for Americans to cherish undying resentment against the French for this act of her Govern ment. (ieueral Butler Is understood to be in favor of w ar with England, not only as a means oi punishing her for her hostile action during the war, but us a liieaus of promoting the growth and enhancing the prosperity of our own coun try. That question is certainly open to argu ment, and there is no reason why General But ler should not seek to make converts to his view of the case. Tho closing paragraphs of his Gloucester speech may be intended to accomplish that purpose. Wo are not greatly alarmed at his prospect of success. Past experience shows that the great body of the American people are accustomed to take moro calm and dispassionate views of exciting public questions than the English: and we have no doubt that they will decide this Issue wisely and with due regard to the public welfare. General Butler not only favors war with Eng land but tho harshest rigors of martial law towards the people of tho Southern States for the suppression of crime. We have no sympathy witli tho policy, or tho feeling which prompts it, in cither case. Tho paramount necessity of tho country is pence, and the growth which peace cannot fail to glvo us. And we have very little doubt that wo shall have It, In spite of (ieueral Butlor, if not with his help. Tho duty of tho hour, in our view, is rather to allay than to arouse resentments cither towards the people of tlio Southern autua or towards Englimd. ADVICE TO VIITLADELPIIIAN3 Frm the A. Y. World. j ! Tho Philadelphia papers exult over New York In their freedom from those disasters which mado week Monday such a Mun one for New York, but which also and this is the silver lining to the dismal cloud enliven the newspapers of a city nnd make them vendible. There is something like life In belonging to a town which can fur nish so many first-class horrors iu a single day. and which possesses newspapers capible of spreading them promptly before you in all their awful proportions, riuiaiieipni.ins escape inese horrors, but they escape them at the cost of undergoing another horror more frightful than thrm all -the horror of being Phil.ule.l pliinns. Surely, every righl-miiided man would rather come t ) New' York and be bliwn off a steam boat, or otherwise done to death in an exciting and expeditious manner, than to drag out a wretched and stagnant existence In Philadelphia. Think what Boric, for instance, would have been saved if he had only come to New York nnd been dubbed to death by a playful policeman n year or two ago. The Wurld, in that ease, would have had a neat and full obituary of him, giving the facts which were not to be had about bim when Grant came to make him a Cabinet officer. Come and be killed, O Philadulphlans ! and have yourselves written up in laudatory and sympathetic strain by the World corps of neuro logists. Die, and leap to everlasting fame. To be sure, you may get killed if vou stay in Phila delphia. But It will not do you any good. The Philadelphia papers would never find it out. When anything does happen in Philadelphia, say once in five years, those journals have nothing to say about it until they copy it from the World. Witness the case of Hester Vaughan. Witness the case of Twitchell. Witness the case of Forney. You had better see New York and die. You really had. You won't bo missed by anybody if you are the average Philadelphia-it. And if you should be, we will send a copy of the World, containing a full, true, and particular account of your last hours, to your bereaved friends, free of charge. And it is absurd to sup pose that they would not derive more comfort and consolation from that than from the pro longation of your existence. GAS LIGHT FOR THE COUNTRY. SAFE.
