'(JALVANIZINO THE DEMOCKACY. 'Wrt policy ought the Domoeratio party to pursue to obtain control of the General and State GoTernmonts ?" This lively topio wah discuwod at the rooma of the Detnocrntio AflHooiation in Arch street, on last Saturday eToning, by John Campbell. The condition of the organization makes the query specially pertinent and important. We are told by the poet that when "the Devil got sick the Dovil a monk would be," and as the Democracy hare been kept out of power in the State Rad nation for the last ten years, in spite of their most vigorous efforts, we do not wonder at their disposition to inscribe new watchwords on their banners, and to assume virtues which they do not pos sess. The force of habit, however, is a serious obstacle to the successful assump tion of a new character. When the Dovil donned the garb of a monk he wore his un accustomed robes awkwardly, and tho Demo cratic speaker of to-day w ho soeks to pro mote the triumph of his party unconsciously Rives utterance to some of the stereotyped doctrines by which it alienated tho affections and confidence of the people. Even Mr. Campbell, while acknowledging that the "policy adopted by the Democratic leaders has been extremely disastrous," proclaims his Hdhorenco to some of their unpopular idoas, and he favors, as a whole, a platform which would sink the organization deeper than plummet ever sounded. Ho is especially hostile to what he terms the "swindling tariff." More honest, but less discreet than the Democratic leaders of this State, he advocates free trade as boldly as it is advocated by the bulk of his fellow partisans residing beyond the boundaries of this Commonwealth. And not satisfied with robbing diversified American industry of tho protection which is absolutely essential to its existence in Pennsylvania and Philadelphia, he also proposes to abolish free schools, for this is the logical result of his proposition that the Democratic party has nothing to do with ' giving the citizen an education. Then he wants the party to "keep the Government poor, "to pay off the publio debt in green backs, and to exalt into a dogma the doctrine that " a national crime was perpe trated Vj tho murder of Mrs. Snrratt." Tho utterance of sentiments like these by a spoaker whose avowed object is to open up a new path for the party, illustrates more forcibly than columns of comment how hopelessly tho Democracy are committed to old heresies, and how surely they would abuse any new grant of power by placing portions of their , ancient creed on the statute-books. liut the speaker really was dispoaod to adopt a few new ideas. lie advocated the nomination of honest men, exclusively, as candidates for office, and the selection of a Presidential nominee who would aid his pro posed efforts to win recruits for the Demo cratic party from the newly-enfranchised colored voters. The gist of his new galvan izing process is expressed in the concluding paragraph of his speech, viz. : "How shall the Deraooracy poll, on next Presi dential election day, a majority of tins vote' Ilnw stisUl we bridge the chasm that separates tint neirro vote from us 1 There Is only one architect that, emi build this bridge there Is only one man who c.-tn pull this vote and that man is Salmon P. (.'hum." If Mr. Campbell is authority on any sub ject it ought to be about tho Democratic policy with reference to the negro. He hm Studied that subject very thoroughly, and if we remember aright he published a book a few years ago which was designed lnninly to prove that the African race was so difl'e- ! renlly constituted, pnysicaiiy ana mentally, from the whites, and that they belonged to uch an inferior order of beings, that it was quite right to perpetuate ' slavery, and totally wrong to pretond that they were endowod with the feelings appertaining to humanity. Extracts from this work might serve an ad mirable purpose as campaign docuinouts con veying "true knowledge" to the new voters whom he expects to enlist as supporters of the Democratic tioket. There is a refreshing coolness in the idea of a man who but yester day classified the negro as but one grade Above an ourang-outang counting the negro to-day as a welcome ally of the Democracy. And if the future hopes of the party are to be founded on this scheme, its fortunes must be indeed desperate. Even the use of Mr. Chase cannot save his new frionds from a worse defeat than they encountered in 18(18. THE DO UDTFUL PLATS OF SIIAKE SrEAEE. In all the editions of Shakespeare's works thirty-five plays are given as assuredly his, and to these are usually added Perielen and Titu Andronicu, the authenticity of which many of the early editors and commentators were disposed to dispute. It is now generally admitted, however, on reasonably reliable evidence that these are genuine but early works written before the poet became a master of his art, and they are seldom excludod from any of the collections of Shakespeare's writings published at this day. Resides these works there are a number of dramas and dramatic sketches attributed to Shakespeare, but which all the English editors have agreed to discard as spurious or doubtful. These have seldom been printed, so that no opportunity has been given for the majority of readers to form any judgment of their merits or to decide from internal evidence as to the probability of their being genuine. It is singular that, while the English students of Shake- lra have unanimously agroed to considor those plnys as spurious, the Germans, w'"- ,ive examined them and the evidence upon which rest thoir claims to be considered bh really the writings of Shakespeare, oontend earnestly that all or most of them are un doubtedly genuine, and that several are enti tled to rank with his best and most mature efforts. Tho appreciative critical spirit in which the Germans havo considered this sub ject entitle their opinion to a rospootful hearing; and with regard to some of tho doubtful plays, at lonst, most thoughtful atid unprejudiced readers will be inclined to agree with them on the strength of the internal evidence alone. One ominent German critic says truly that all the dramatio writers of Shakespeare's dny are well known, and that before throwing out a work attributed to him on moderately reasonable grounds, his editors ought to bo able to show who tho roal authors were. We do not inlond to disonas the points of this controversy, and our only idoa in allud ing to the subject at all is to suggest to the publishers of Shakespearian works the pro priety of giving these doubtful plays in future editions. This the students of the great poet have a right to domand, and at a time when efforts are being mado to preserve every sorap of verse, good, bad, and indifferent, of poet far inferior to Shakospeare, it is certainly re markable that these doubtful plays should be allowed to remain unknown to the majority of readers. The German publisher Tauch nitz has made an important move in the right direction by issuing six of these plays in a supplementary volume to his edition of Shakespeare, and it is to be hoped that other publishers will follow his good example, so that in future we may be cortain of procuring everything of Shakespeare's that has beoa preserved. Admitting that many of these plnys are inferior to the acknowledged writ ings of Shakespeare, if they are really his, they will enable the studont to trace his artistio development in a more perfect manner than heretofore, and will bhow every phase of his genius from his crudest attempts to his grandest inspirations. Some of them are evidently early works, others appear to be hnrriod adaptations of older plays, while one at least, Edward III, is, in our opinion, equal to the average of his dramas from English history. This play is eminently Shakespearian in style, while it resembles in no respects that of any known English dra matist. We cannot agree with Sohlegol that it is entitled to rank among his best and most mature works, but that Shakespeare wrote at least a large part of it can scarcely be doubted by an unprejudiced reader. The evidence of the genuineness of these dramas must of course always be open to question, but there is enough to be said in their favor to warrant their publication under the head of "doubt ful" along with Shakespeare's other writings; and the day is at hand when no edition of the poet's works will be considered as complete without them. WE IR18H LAND QUESTION. In the House of Commons, this evening, Mr. Gladstone's Irish Land bill, which was intro duced on the 1.1th of February, will be passod to the second reading, and the struggle over a question of even greater importance than that affecting the Irish Church will be fully inaugurated. The bill, according to the synopsis sent by the cable at the time of its presentation, provides for the seonrity of the tenure of tenants, for facilitating the purchase and transfer of land, for granting loans to tenants who desire to purchase or landlords who wish to reclaim and improve waste land, and for the recognition of the custom prevail ing in Ulster. It also requires the landlord to pay for improvements which increase the value of land, and bars all claims for rent against tenants who are evicted for its non-payment. The "custom of Ulster," which will figure so prominently in the debate upon the bill, em braces the right of the tenant to undisturbed occupancy so long as the rent is paid, and the privilege of making improvements with out being subject to an arbitrary inoreaso in the amount of rent because of such improve ments. It will thus be seen that although the moa sure is quite comprehensive in its scope, some of the sorest grievances to which the Irish tenants are subjected are not touohed by it. The larger number of the Irish land lords, especially those owning land in the sections of the country whore the greatest dis tress and discontent prevail, reside perma nently outside of the island, leaving their estates under the superintendence and con trol of agents who are disposed to be even more exacting and merciless than the land lords themselves. For this great evil of ab senteeism the bill attempts to apply no remedy; and for another, even more oppres sive in its operation, the exaction of exces sive rents, no provision is made. The large measure of justice which it proposes to mete out, however, has satisfied the more rational journals and statesmen of Ireland that the Government is disposed to inaugurate in good faith a radical reform, and hence the bill has been received, as a whole, with favor by the organs of both the Liberal and Con servative parties; while the Irish members of Parliament, at a private meeting held a few days ago, resolved to propose amendments to the bill instead of opposing it in toto. But with the masses of the people and the so-called national or Fenian organs, the proposed measure finds no favor. Such papers as the Irishman and the Nation denounce the bill in unmeasured terms, and strive to increase its unpopularity with tho masses. This is in accordance with the traditional policy of the national party, which aims, not at a reform of English rule in the island, but its entire sub version, and accepts no programme, however liberal and promising, short of independence. The ridioulous Fenian fiasco, which has been the legitimate result of this policy, has shown Ireland its utter folly, and demonstrated that the only hope of the country lies in a gradual reform of the abuses to which the islan has been subjected for centuries. As the first instalment of this reform, the Land bill of Mr. Gladstone is therefore reooived with favor and confidence by all true friends of Ireland, both at home and in England. The fate of the bill, in view of the diversity of opinion with which it has been received, is uncertain in its present nhapoj but Mr. Glad stone's Government is thoroughly convincod of the necessity of reform, and honostly dis posed to grant it, -and full justice to the Irish tenant, withheld for centuries, is certain to be meted out in the end. 7 HE LATEST FIIOM I'AIUS. Tub New York World of yosterdny published a letter professedly written in Paris under the date of February 21, which makes the startling, if true, revelation that tho Emporor Napoleon III died on tho 8th of August last from a stirgical operation, and that since thon he has been personated by a "dummy," while the Empress has been ruling in the meantimo as Regent. The writor is very circumstantial, but in every sontonce he shows that ho knows nothing whatever about tho affairs of the Imperial family, and the story has the ap pearance of having beou manufactured out of the whole cloth, and with very littlo ingonuity at that. If this was the first time that some penny-a-liner hard up for a subject had at tempted to hoax the publio by slaughtering an emporor or prince of renown, there might be some hope that even such a clumsy inven tion as that published by the World wonld ereato some sensation. But when not only the ministers, but also tho prinoipal ambassa dors of foreign powers and some of the lead ing English journals are represented as being implicated in the fraud, an entirely too largo demand is mado upon the imagination; and while the bloodthirsty yarn of the World correspondent may sell a few extra copies of the paper, it will scarcely have any very docided effeot in retarding tho fall in tho price of gold, or create any great commotion in commercial, financial, or diplomatic circles. TUT. XKVT HAMPSHIRE HIKCTIOX. Tub spring political campaign opens with the State election in New Hampshire to-morrow; anil, as matters now stand, the result Is Involved lu con siderable doubt. Ai Indicative of the relative strength of the two great national parties In the State, we present the following tigures, showing the result of the annual elections since 1961, tho votes marked thus () Including all scattering votes. In 1963 there were two Kcnultllcun candidates for Gov ernor, and, as the Constitution requires a majority of all the voles cast to duct, there was no election by the people: Yrar. Wyi. It,m. It'.

S.'i, 77 32,00t 3773 " Congress M,05 31,93 397 In view of these figures, If the issue presented were a fair and square one between the two parties, thero could be little doubt of the result. The ma jority, although it has at times been cut down to a low figure, has been so uniformly on the Republican side during the past ten years, that there could be no doubt of another triumph under ordinary circum stances. Rut there are four tickets In the Held, and as tho Constitution requires a majority of all the votes oast to ensure an election, tho result Is not as certain as It might be. A Railroad Commissioner as well as a Governor Is to be elected, the candidates for the two ofllces being as follows: (jovfmirr. J, IS. Cmmiioiitr. Republican.... Onslow Hteartw. Charles P. Gage. Democratic... John Iiedel. MlchaelT. Uonohoe. Temperance. . . U O. Harrows. H. O. Pelrce. Labor Reform, bamuel Flint. Geo, Roberts. Governor t teams, the present Incumbent, was nominated by acclamation nt the Republican State Convention held on tho 7th or January, the platform adopted by the convention expressing a hearty ap proval of the administration or President Grant, de nouncing all direct or indirect repudiation of tho national debt, commending economy and Integrity in the affairs of the General Government, favoring the abolition of the franking privilege, urging the enforcement by Congress of the conditions of recon struction in the caso of Georgia, denouncing tne rescinding or the ratification or the fifteenth amend mens by tho Democratic Legislature of New York, hailing the revival of tho temperance causo In the State as a good omen, pledging support to tho Indus trial classes, advising that railroads and other cor porations be managed in the Interest of the public as well as the stockholders, and favoring the re newal or eirorts to develop the resouroes or the State. Tho Democratic State Convention was held on January ft, and In the report of its proceedings, now before us, we find tint each of the candidates who received its Indorsement is styled a "General." The platform adopted on the occasion is one of the good old-fashioned sort, expressing an abiding faith In the principles of the party, opposing cen tralization in the General Government, denounc ing the aotlon of Congress In relation to Georgia, declaring that the present system or national taxa tion under the revenue and tariff laws throws the burden upon the laboring classes and is unjust and oppressive, denouncing monopolies as unjust and prejudicial to national progress, declaring that all bonds and securities Bhould be taxed, and that debts not otherwise specified should be paid In currency. Against the last two planks In the platform one of the members of the convention, the Hon. Is. ao Adams, entered a protest; bat the representatives or tho Democracy were ao cnthiisi istlcully wedded to re pudiation that it was unheeded. Yet the Democracy, after all, have found their platform so shaky and their chances of success so hopeless that, at a secret session or the State Cen tral Committee, held February 24, it was resolved to abandon both platform and candidate, and unite In the support or the Labor Reform candidate. This action, however, has been repudiated by many of tho Democratic newspapers or the State, and It is likely that large numbers or tho party will cast their votes tor lledcl, In spite or the recommendation of the committee. Of the Temperance ticket but little has been heard, and It will receive but a small sup port, all or which, as a matter or course, will be drawn from the ranks or the Republicans. As there will probably bo no election by the people, the con test over the Legislature, npon which tho election will rail In default of a decisive popular vote, has be come exceedingly warm, the Democrats seeking to defeat as many Republican candidates as possible, without regard to tho particular aUUlutlons or their different opponents, or the final result, however, there can be but little doubt, and Governor Ntcarns Is sure or a re-election, either by the people or the Legislature. W i.karn from a Roman correspondent that Monslgnor Dupanloup has determined to bring be fore the council tho abuses and oppressions prac tised by tho temporal government of the Papacy. The Court of Rome will forbid the discussion, deny ing the right of the council to Interfere with Its temporal administration; but the Bishop insists that the Papacy is as much subject to the fathers in one asp .etas the other. As he is distinguished for his strenuous snpport of the principle or the temporal powpr, this assertion hss produced a deep impre- on ; and thongh the ultras arrirm that his motion will only haston the dogmatic proclamation or tho Popal sovereignty, the Vatican is more troublod than Is suffered to appear. Tn PaU MM'JiaxHt says: "It Is curious tool), serve how ready people are to Jump at any oocusloa for 'a controversy.' Probsbly as there Is a largo amount of mono? lying lrtlo at present, waiting lor Investment, so there la a vat qinntiiy ot controver sial spirit which requires a vent, and fastens npon any object, however trilling, which may happon to present Itself. In no other way can wo accojnt for the fearful excitement which has been caused by a Greek Archbishop having had tho goodness to bless soirio English Churchmen. The Archbishop of Byra and Tenng, when vlsltiug York Mlnstor, pronounced his benediction In Greek over the members of a de putation. Instead or everybody being rnuoh obliged to him for taking the trouble, the blessing hss led to an ngty uontrovergy as to whether the Greek Arch bishop has any right to bless us at alL Happily the Archbishop of York lias given his opinion that the prayorof an 'alien' maybe efficacious; In other words, that we need not be anxious as to the effect or a Greek blessing on an English deputation. This Is very satisfactory, and will, It is to be hoped, allay the panic and settle the question. In tho meantime we trust the Archbishop of Byra and Tenos will not lie deterred by thlg clamor from blessing English Churchmen, whether they Uko it or not. Many of them would be none the worse for a good blessing in any language, living or dead; and deputations are frequently so troublesomo that they may think them selves very fortunate to receive a blessing In Greek Instead of something the reverse In English, nothing but courtesy, indeed, prevents their being frequently addressed In the samo terms as those used to a sai lor by the boatswain In one of her Majesty's ships where strong language was rorbldden 'God bless you, you rascal ; you know what I mean!' " It is to sb i RAKKit that tho case or John Le Roy, the watchmaker at St. Hellers. Isle of Jersey, will lead to attempts being made to Imitate that gentle man's Ingenuity. In order to prevent Mrs. Le Roy from drinking more than was good for her, he mado an iron mask, fastened at the ba?k by a padlock, and weighing altogether about throe pounds, which he placed over tho lady's head; and this machine would no doubt have promoted sobriety, but for a slight fault In Its construction. It was mado rather too large, and consequently Mrs. Le Roy managed to turn It round on hor head and imbibe small glutses of liquor. No effort seems to have been spared by this thoughtful husband to cure his wife of her unhappy weakness. Resides the mask he had made a large box Into a species of cage with iron bars, into which he was lu the habit of occasionally placing her. It was by no nieuns an uncomfortaWo retreat, and was described as being roomy, but not exactly "the place for a woman to be In." Mr. Le Roy was Dned 10s. for this conduct, and there can be no doubt that lie laid himself open to the poualty ; but he seems to have been actuated by kindly and proper motives, and assuming Mrs. Le Roy's habits to be such us described, the wisest course she can pursue la to put on tho musk and get inside the cage of her own accord when she feels tempted to give way to Intern perance.
