From the liarrburg Slat Journal,
We are not of thMt who regard the mis
si on of tbe Republican party as fulfilled; nor
do we accept the theory that it must re8ort to
hollow, clap-trap expedients But two years
ago it developed its greatest strength, and
called General Qraut to the Presidency by the
largest popular vote ever plled for a na
tion l candidate. It bad selected its standard-bearer
with great nnauimity, and the
wisdom of that ohoico has not bean
cpiestiobed. 11 Lad given the country
what it reeded most iu its sorest trial
complete victory to the Union armies,
and lie was bailed as the threat captain
of the age. In the civil convulsions which
followed civil strife, he had always been wise
in council and patriotic in his actions, and his
election to the first civil honor of the Gov
ernment was regarded as alike a national ne
cessity and a just recognition of -the public
services cf General Grant. He had ended
wBr by. victory, and he wai selected to heal
the ghastly wounds of fraternal estrange
ment by a wise and generous administration
of the laws. The warrior was demanded as
the pacificator, and when his election was at
tained, the country felt assured of peace and
prosperity.
Nor has President Grant failed in giving to
the nation the great results sought for by bis
election. The people desired suooessful re
construction, established public credit, ho
nesty and strict accountability in official,
and peace.- All these great blessings have bean
attained, and the substantial fruits of his
election have been gathered iu their fullness.
Repudiation is a discarded heresy, without
defenders. Reconstruction is complete
marred somewhat by the natural results of
perpetuated hale for the Government, but,
nevertheless, it is an accomplished fact, and
will correct its own informalities. The reve
nue has been honestly collected, aud it has
been as honestly applied, as is evidenced in
the rapid reduction of the public debt, and
there is peace throughout the land.
- With such a reoord for the Republican ad
ministration, it seems anomalous to reoord
Democratic triumphs such as the elections
of. 1870 have given us. Two-thirds of the
Republican majority in Congress is lost, and
enough of the States which voted for Graut,
in 18(18, to change the electoral college to a
Democratic majority, have apparently con
demned the President. It is idle to impute
these disasters to local causes. The im
mediate issues may have been more or
leBs local in their character, but if the ad
ministration was as stiong as it should be,
and, as from its public reoord, it deserves to
be, local causes could not disintegrate the
friends of the President and reverse Con
gressional districts by platoons, and States,
in every section of the Union. The syco
phants, who ever swarm around power, are
ever ready to explain that defeat means vic
tory; but the independent Republican press
and independent statesmen acoept the plain
teachings of stubborn results, and seek for
the evil and the remedy.
That the Republican party is wanting in
harmony of organization and unity of pur
pose to an- alarming degree, is a truth too
palpable not to be appreciated by the adminis
tration and its sincere friends. Such journals
as the New York Post and Ummercial Ad
vertiser, tie Cincinnati Gazette and Commer
cial, the Philadelphia Inquirer and Tele
rajyi, the Pittsburg Commercial, the Chicago
Tribune . and Republican, the St. Louis
Deitccrat, and scores of other able
Republican papers of lesser note, have
criticized the policy of the President
with grrat rigor, and clearly foreshadowed
the discomfiture the parly has suffered. A
number of the leading statesmen who sup
ported the election of President Grant have
taken ii-tiie with him on vital questions of
political policy. Senators Sumner and Ferry,
of New England; Fenton, of New York;
Trumbull, Carpenter, and Schnrz, of the
West, and others less conspicuous in the first
council of the nation have not concealed
j their disapproval of administration mea
sures, and given the moral foroe of their
great names to widen and deepen the disoord
that now prevails in the ranks of the admin
istration party.
On all Bides the perils seam to be recog
nized. Butler, the special champion of the
administration in the House, comes before
the country with a confession that the great
purposes of the Republican party have been
accomplished, and a demand that it Bhall de
scend to mere political expedients, without
regard to past achievements, and make cause
less war, if necessary, to carry popular elec
tions; and the mousing politician, who have
. been flung into place by aooident, or even less
creditably, crowd the balls of the White House
and demand publio plunder as the price of
Republican success. It were needless to say
that both are unprincipled, and the worst
foes of the Republioan organization. But
ler's war policy would consign the party to a
dishonored tomb. He forgets that he is not
now addressing himself to the Democracy;
. but to an organization of independent free
thinkers, who will not purchase political suc
cess at the cost of national honor or national
Eeace; and the petty, venal politicians, who
ope to disgrace the administration by pres-
tituting its power, could not redeem the dis
asters if they would, and they would not do
so if they could profit more by the ntter de
struction of the party.
The men who nave the confidence of the
people, and wbo could be potential in restor
ing harmony in the party and preparing it
for future triumphs, are net the men who
ruth unbidden to advise with power. They
do not crowd the White House and the de
pertinents to procure contracts and appoint
luenta, nor do they rush into the public
Drinta to assume the role of leadership. The
atatesmen and the non-omoe-hunting leaders
of the Republioan party are the
men in whom the people confide, and
they have been but little known, and
less felt, in the counsels whioU dictated
the political policy of the administration.
In a single sentence, the misfortunes of
the Republican party may be thus stunmed
up, and we have geod reason to believe that
no one now has a better appreciation of the
tiuth of it than President Grant himself. He
has the power, and he alone has the power,
to restore the party to unity and success, and
he must know that he cannot do it with the
ablest and most disinterested Senators, Con
cressmen, and presses of the party arrayed
. against him. They do not deoaand honors
or plunder they can maintain tueuiselves
without either; but they do demand a just
respect for themselves and for the upright
and independent masses they represent, aud
no administration can snstuiu itself that is
not sustained by them.
We aie gratified tolinow t'uat a more rig
oas and acceptable politioal policy is about to
be inaugurated by the President. If he shall
carry it out in the manner he is now aiming
to do it, he will necessarily offend the petty
traders in politics, but the great leaders of
the people, and the people themselves, will
rally to the snpport of the patriotic President
of their choice, and make his re-election in
1872 as decisive as was his triumph in 13rt.
THE PARTIES.
From llarptr't WttVy.
Those who speculate upon the formation of
a new party, or gravely propose it, seeua to
suppose that a great party is organized as a
corporation is chartered. But that does not
seem to us to be the way iu which a pirty
arues. In our own history parly divisions
began dnrirg (he aduiiuistratioa of Washiog
toi), and the Federal and the National Repub
lican parties continued until the former dis
appeared, leaving, in the Monroe era of good
feeling, no immediate successor. The next
great patty division was that of the Whigs
and the Democrats. It turned philosophi
cally upon the question of the fu notions of
government, aud practically upon the just
and constitutional policy in regard to iaternal
improvements, a national bank, tariffs,
etc. Thd Whigs contended for a liberal, fos
tering, protecting, and developing Govern
ment. The Democrats declared that it was
by the enterprise of the people, and not by
the action of the Government, that the ends
sought were to be obtained. But gradually
the increase of slavery, and the development
by machinery of the products of slave labor,
mode slavery the controlling element in poli
tics. . The intensity of the moral agitation of
the subject, with the fanaticism of the slave
interest, which used the Government for its
own purposes, and absolutely denominated
the Democratic party, with which it allied
itself, and, upon the other hand, the economic
ssgacily which perceived the material im
policy of slavery, all concentrated political
intere&t upon the subject.
The Democratio party made an abject al
liance with slavery. Its policy proceeded en
tirely from the slave leaders, and their pur
pose was made evident had it been doubted
by the repeal of the Missouri Compromise.
The Whig party, unwilling to take any po
sition upon the one absorbing and para
mount question of tho time, wa virtually
annihilated in,lS.")2,and the new parly divisiou
of Republicans and Democrats appeared,
which still centinues. But does it seem to
any one who ppeaks of a new party that the
organization which to-day controls the ad
ministration, and hold') a great majority of
the L fates, and which at tho intermediate
election, when every administration party
is weakest, has carried forty or fifty majority
in Congress, is in the condition of the
Federal parly or the Whig party when they
were superseded? The war of 1812 finally
destroyed the Federal party, aud the slavery
question, which was supreme, and which it
evaded, destroyed the Whig party in 18")2.
What issiae is there to-day so overshadowing
and absorbing that it will probably and pro
perly overthrow the Republican party '( If
the Republican revenue reformers, as we
have said, should desert in a body to the
Democratic party, they might do a great
deal of mischief. But they will not do it.
That reform is, an important question; but
in the first place it is not paramount to all
others, and in the second, if it were, it is by
no means evident that the reform is more
practicable under Democratio ascendency.
There will be no new party until there is a
general feeling that the policy whioh is essen
tial for the national welfare is more probable
with a Democratio than a Republican admi
nistration. And that feeling does not exist.
Those who hope for a reform of the oivil ser
vice, for revenue reform, for a wise foreign,
policy, for maintenance of the settlements
of the Union, for honest and economical ad
ministration, and for reform of electoral cor
ruption, do not expect them from the Demo
cratic party. But they do expect them from
the Republican party, and they expect them
because they are harmonious with
the principles, the spirit, and the
composition of that party. Some Republi
cans will, of course, leave the party. Mr.
Gratz Brown, of Missouri, wbo has been a
faithful Republican hitherto, designs, if we
read bis late serenade speech correctly, to act
with the Democratio party hereafter. But
Senator Sohurz, his coadjutor in the late
election, has expiessed no such intention.
Mr. Brown sees that he has brought the
Democratic party into power in his State,
snd he naturally withes to make the best of
the situation. lint Mr. bcuurz declines to
believe that there are not great national issues
upon which he must be a Republican, lucre
are many revenue reformers in New England
also, and a strong party for the civil service
reform, but they act within and not without
the Republican lines.
The Chicago Iribun e, therefore, seems to
us mistaken in supposing that there can be
'a reconstruction and reorganization of par
ties" in other words, a new party; and when
it speaks, among others, of Mr. Garrison,
Mr. Beecher, Mr. Schnrz, and Mr. Sumuer
as favoring such an attempt, we are very
sure that it is mistaken. Mr. bcuurz and Mr
Sumner at leaBt, have distinctly denied syrn
pathy with any effort to destroy the Repub
lican party. Upon some questions they differ
with the President, but they do not allow
their difeppioval of certain executive
measures to paralyze their fidelity to the
party. The proposal for a new organizt
tion, under tne circumstances, is, tnere
fore, a declaration in favor of Domocratio
ascendency. That party is certainly very
unlikely to commit hari-kari if it should see
its opponent engaged in that operation. In
deed, it is already inviting the Chicago
Tribune and Mr. Sohurz to walk into . its
parlor. It announces that the revenue re
formers belong with the Democracy, not
that Democratio revenue reformers will
secede and join a new organization. And
when the Chicago Tribune speaks of revenue
rt form and civil service reform as objects
equally desirable, it would be interesting to
know how lively a hope it has of reform of
the civil servioe from the Democracy.
In the present situation of the country,
when the Republican party is neither dis
banding sor likely to disband, the Republi
can who aeks whether a new party is not de
sirable, merely asks whether it is desirable
that the Democratio party should be success
ful. If, indeed, the party had gone to pieces,
like the Federal in 1812 and the Whig iu
lt.2, he might wisely ask whether be should
vote with the Democrats or try for a new or
conization. He will not forget that the
country was so ready for the R9publioan
reitv that, in 18.t, it polled 1,200,00:) out
of lef stfcan',3,000,000 votes eaot.'.elected and its
President in 100. Is there any oorresponJ-
irjc situation now ine career aaa cnarao
ttr and leadership and necessities of the Da-
mocratio party are known of all men. Who
believes that great and salutary reform of
political corruption and official systems are
to proceed from it? Who supposes that
greater order, progress, and economy would
follow tho debtructiou of tbe lieimWIoau

A THIRD TARTT NONSENSE.
trmn tkt Jv. T. Sun.
No vagary ever entered the brain of mtn
more futile and preposterous than the ides
of forming a third part in a country .where
the entire ground is occupied by two oppos
icg organizations. The term itself is a
mif ncmer. Discontent end disaffection may
become bo geneaal in a party as to raenaoe
i's integrity and presage disintegration to
ruinous extent. Aud this is the present con
dition of tbe Republicans. The offioial bead
of tbe organization has not that informing
and controlling mini without whioh disci
pline, harmony, and effective corporation
are impossible. The party is not wanting in
able and enlightenad statesmen; but they
have no universal recognition as leaders, and
hence are comparatively without influence in
shaping its policy. And then they are
divide J upon some of the most important
qncKtiocs of tbe day.
Many Republicans in the Northwest diffor
ith some Republicans of New England aud
Pennsylvania on tbe tariff, the finances, aud
cognate topics, including the method and
tioeof extinguishing tLe publio indebtment.
The interest of the produoer is believed to be
in conflict with the interest of the consumer.
Iowa and Illinois have little sympathy with
Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and the
bonds of material interest are strongor than
any ties growing out of political afnaity.
These things will have their effect in en
feebling and demoralizing the Republi
cs organization to what extent, it
is now impossible to estimate or
predict with much confidence. Simi
lar causes are also at work, though
to a If fs extent, to weaken the Democracy.
But the notion that a third party can be con
structed of dimensions sufficient to Accom
plish anything affirmatively is the greatest
fallacy imaginable. Such a thiag is simply
impossible. One might as well expect to see
the deserters from two hostile armies consti
tute a force strong enough t j overcome them
both, or a man standing on a railway with
stand two locomotives approaching each other
utder a full hoad of steam. No intrigues or
n niieeement of any kind ever achieved any
thing in the' way of such organization. The
experiment has frequently been tried, and al
ways with a similar result.
ibe two most noticeable instancas were in
the cases of John Tyler aud Andrew John
Eon. Millard Fillmore attempted to avail
himself of Ihe Know-Nothing folly, but he
had notLicg to do with organizing the party.
Tjler supposed it practicable tore-elect him
self by forming a third party, the banis of
which should be the patronage and power of
the rederal Government. The failure of the
scheme was utter and .ridiculous, covering
everybody concerned in it with universal de
rision. Johnson's exhibition of himsoif was
more pitiablo still. '
Parties spring up RpsntaneouBly when new
issues are presented, or new questions. arise.
A party maybe divided and temporarily pros
trated, as was the case with the Democracy in
1818, by the introduction of an element so
potent as to override discipline and break
down the lines of demarcation. But it is
difficult to conceive a condition of things
wherein the malcontents could muster in
force enough to make headway against sub
sisting organizations. And there is nothing
enomalons or unusual in the present condi
tion of parties in this country. For nearly
ten years past Republioan supremacy has
been so absolute and resistless that the Demo
crats have not been able to oppose force suffi
cient to operate as a wholesome check upon
the action of tbe Government or poli ical
movements. The Republicans have been too
strong for their own welfare. There has not
been external pressure enough upon them to
compel discipline or circumspection in the
administration. The adversary was feeble in
numbern, and distracted by intestine divi
sions. And now we see the inevitable conse
quences of these untoward circumstances in
a broken and demoralized organization. And
these embarrassments are increased and ex
asperated by the imbecility of Graut, his
prostitution of the patronage of tho Govern
ment to promote his own selfish schemes and
to reward unworthy favorites. The best men
of his party are so disaffected and disgusted
that bis renemination two years hence is
quite out of the question.
ibe power of a President wita a strong
supporting party measurably satisfied with
the course of bis administration, is irre
sistible in the early part of dis term; but it
becomes feeble and dwindles away to nothing
as the years roll round and the means of
rewarding partisan service become exhausted.
Six successive Presidents, ending with Mr.
Buchanan, vainly tried to compass a renomi-
nation by tbe free use of r-xeouuve favors.
They were all men of large civil experience,
familiar with tho popular wants and expecta
tions, and not inexpert in political manage
ment; and yet every one of them failed igno
ruinously in tbo work be had set himself to
perform. Is Grant a raw, crude man of
defective culture, untutored in the ways of
politicians, with no policy, no experience, no
power of appreciation, iuiperfeot knowledge
of men, selfish and egotistical, caring more
to give fat offices to his family than to pro
mote the welfare of his party is he likely to
win a came in which such men as we have
named were baffled and overthrown ?
SNOOKS t. CLAY.
From the .V. 1. Tribune.
The World, habitually unjust to the memory
of Henry Clay, is especially so in likening
bis course in supporting the compromise
tariff of 1833 with that of the Hon. J.
Snooks, wbo insisting that a duty on im
ported wares or metals makes our consumers
pay so much more, not only lor the articles
thus taxed, but for all domestic produots
which are sold in competition therewith
does nevertheless support a duty of $3 per
ton on pig iron, whereby $7,500,000 (acoord
ing to Lis assumptions, not ours) is taken
from our consumers in order to get $1,500,000
of it into tbe treasurythe other $(;,ooo,ooo
being legally coerced (be says) into the
Sockets of '-greedy, grasping monopolists."
Ir. Clay never so stultified himself as to sop-
port a measure which he held to be ol this
character never never 1 In his deliberate
judgment, the necessary effect of protective
duties was to cheapen the artiole on which
they were imposed, by substituting domestic
for foreign production, inus bringing me
producer nearer the consumer, and reducing
the cost ol eneotmgexenanges between tnem
What Mr. Clay mistakenly did was to saori
flee a future whereof be, for the moment,
teems to have despaired, to secure a reprieve
from Immediate calamity a mistake watch,
we are confident, will not be repeated by the
protectionists of to-day. Mr. Clay, seeing
that General Jackson had just been re-elected
and invested with powers virtually dictato
rial, and that the protective professions by
which he bad won the powerful support of
Pennsylvania and kindred interests were
about to be whistled down the wind, in obe
dience to the stronger will of the cotton
growing oligarchy, entered into a oapitula
tiou. whereby a present crash was averted
ne did what seemed for tbe best; but time
proved bim in error. Had li only given the
free-traders rope, they would have sojo run
it out, and he, i -.stead of Van Baren, would
Lave been chosen President in lV.tl, oa the
square Issue of restoring the policy of pro
tection subverted in K. by Jackson an De
mocracy, in obedience to the bullyiag of
Calhoun nullification.
Mr. Clay's positiou in was that of the
gallant leader of a beaten, hopeless, demo
ralized army, making the best terms for it
that be can secure. Snooks represents au
aggressive, triumphant host, who are able to
dictate terms, not aeemingiy coustrained to
accept Mich as the conqueror will concede.
Tbe World invents an isuo wi'.h us as to
tbe great revulsisu of 1H:'.7. We have said
nothing of that. But we do say thnt it was
because of the "Revenue Tariff,'-' then just
getting into fnll effect, that tbe Fedjral
Tieasniy was empty, tbe Federal credit dis
honored, and the national industry paralyzed,
in 1840-1-2, until the stress of our necessi
ties compelled a return to protection in 1812.
Thenceforward, everything wore a brighter
aspect, and we did not need to send agents
to Enroix, in a time of profound psace, to
beg bankers to lend us money to carry on our
Government. That is our position.
IADY PHYSICIANS.
Frrm tht X. 1'. Timet.
Edinburgh has not generally been reckoned.
me mom "progressive place in the world,
unless, perhaps, in metaphysics tud moral
ftjiioBopny. JNevertneiess, there are seven
young ladies regularly enrolled at the medical
school there, who have had granted to them
Ihe privilfccs of study, and of matricula
tion, in due course, as circa of the Univer
sity. " "Mrs. Dr." will consequently become
as common a title in North Britain, at no
distent day, as it is fast getting to be in the
United States. In spite of this surprising
concession, however,-the conservative spirit
of a Scotch faculty has displayed itself in
tbe exclusion of the seven ladies from the
wards of the Infirmary. The inconvenience
to the clinical lecturers of treating certain
Eubjects before a mixed assembly of both
sexes is the reason assigned for shutting
the hospital doors against the female stu
dents; and five hundred of their male asso
ciates, in the most nngallant manner, have
petitioned the authorities to persist in en
forcing their rule of exclusion. The peti
tiorers assert that Lad they foreseen beincr
celled upon to walk the wards in conipsny
with young ladies they would have sought
another school. The ladiee say that the
medical school has no right, .having taken
theit fees aDd aceppted them as students, to
refoso them any of the prdinary rights or
privileges of students. Represented as they
are ty one ot tne ablest of living women,
Miss Sophia J ex uiuke, and having an arga
nient in itself by no means easy to answer,
tbe ladies cettainly occupy a strong position,
and one which it will be very hard to turn.
lte ailhcnlly must soouer or later have
been fairly met and disposed of, and it is well
thai a test cose has thus arisen wherein all
that can be said on both sides of the contro
versy is pretty snre to be Jogically and elo.
quently set forth. Most reasonable and deli
rate-minded persons will admit on first
thoughts tbe force of the adnerse argument
of the managers of the Infirmary and the
petitioning students. It would seem, in
truth, that only dmerentiy constituted peo
ple would wish to override so rational an ob
jection. Yet, as commonly occurs, the argu
merit of one side looks conclusive only until
tbe other is ' beard. Miss Jex Blake urges
tijttt
"A large proportion of trie patients In the Infirm
ary being women, and women belug present iu all
tbe wards as nurses, there t an be nothing excep
tional In our presence there as students. Iu oar
opinion, no objection can be raised to our attending
clinical teachlep, even iu the male wards, which
does not apply with at least equal fore. to the pre
sent instruction or ruuie students in the female
wards."
Shu further points out that among the sub
scribers and donors to the Infirmary there
are as many women as men; that the wishes
of a majority of the whole are In favor of
tho unrestricted admission of both sexes
upon a common platform, and that three of
the chief clinical lecturers, Drs. Balfour,
Watson, and Bennett, are willing to admit
the ladies, with male students, to all their
classes. These considerations are plainly
entitled to be carefully weighed, and the re
sult bids fair to be satisfactory to Miss Blake
and her enterprising companions.
It is clear that, u women are to be allowed
by law and publio opinion to practice medi
cine at all, it is highly irrational to exclude
them from any means open to tbe other sex
for obtaining professional knowledge. The
reasoning of those who maintain the inca
pacity of women to become good doctors,
may or may not be sound; but its practical
force must obviously bo increased by the ex
clusion of female students from any privi
leges enjoyed by the males. The less the
ability, tbe greater the need or culture, and
tbe greater tbo relative value of experience.
From tbe general drift and conduct of the
Edinburgh discussion, it seems probable that
the nice question touching tbe "delioany" of
women going through the usual clinical
course will be left ere long to the taste and
discretion of the candidates themselves.
Women who feel strongly drawn to the
medical profession are not likely to be
squeanmb, and the most simple and con
venient method of settling this csntroverty
will be apt in the sequel to prove the one
adopted.
