About l'ubllc Measures' nml Men.
Wo regard It as nn ovll of tlio first
niRRnltudo that In this country tlio
public men, ond tlio nowsimnors which
discuss public concerns, seldom juilEu
measures by their intrinsic merit or
demerit, but denounco whatever Is pro-
posed by tho opposlto party. It Is un
dignified, unmanly, ungenerous, doura-
ding, contemptible- nnd slavish, yet it Is
nlmost a universal custom, rolltlcnl
opponents sharo tho fato of measures,
anil tho greatest nnd purest Statesmen
nro denounced in tho somo vulgar terms
that oto applied to tho most corrupt and
basest of demagogues. It need not bo
argued that this is all wrong, for every
body knows that. Yet it is In vain to
appeal to our public men or to tho
newspapers to stop tho abuse. High
toned nnd ablo papora at Washington,
Philadelphia nnd Now York could
correct It without much difficulty n
few ablo men In Congross might do, tho
satno thing, but not so perfectly but
there seems to bo nono that nro not con
trolled by sheer rancor and passion.
Even the onco grnvo and dignified U. S.
Senate, scorns to bo composed almost If
not nl together of men who nro governed
by no higher mollvo of action than op
position to tho rival party, or by per
sonul spleen, or local ad vantago without
regard to general propriety.
Tho ovll complained of could not eslst
ns to tho Congress and high officers of
government, If tho peoplo would pay
proper regard to tho elections and clce
nono but ablo and fit men or nt least
insist on thoso qualifications being re
gurded by thoso who manipulate nom
inations. Nor would tho city newspa
pers (who lead becauso of their position)
indulgo tho error If tho peoplo did not
best patronlzo thoso that nro guilty of
tho very wrong complained of. Tho
fault, then, lies with tho people, and
must.bo corrected (If over) from that
stand-point.
Public men will reform whenever
they sco that pubic approbation will
follow. They nro all senslllvo to that
vory point, and for tho most part would
rather court popularity by correct action,
If that will gain it, than any other.
But they look to tho newspapers ns tho
barometers of public opinion, nnd there
fore that Is tho place where reformation
is most practical. Wo hopo to sco tho
country press commenco tho reform nnd
add to their own weight and lmportanco
by refusing for tho futuro to follow in
tho wako of tho city dallies and by
forming their own opinions and pursu
ing tho courso of action that propriety
may dictate. As preliminary they
must always judgo measures nnd men,
after thoughtful examination, solely by
their merits, and express opinions only
In accordance with such judgment.
It will bo a sort of mlllcnum when
measures and public men nro discussed
tipon their merits nml mcro cavilling bo
Bet asido as unworthy and discreditable,
when personal abuse nnd unwarranted
denunciation shall cease, nnd when
editors and politicians respsct them
selves too much to bo mado vulgar and
shameless political pettifoggers char
latans and tools, panderers to error or
demagogues. Whether this millenlum
s to occur or not is for tho futuro to de
termlhe. Tho newspapers can accom
plish it if thoy will. The U. S. Senators
would accomplish it if they wcro really
great men.

Tho Now Hampshlro election ha3
thrown tho wholo editorial corps of tho

of Justice Listen tothownillngl Wo
extract from tho Peess of the lOlh :
Brnvo New Hampshire: calls upon onr public
servants nt Washington to halt In their mod en
reer. Her voice, llko n grout bell sounding from
somo high tower on n wintry night, shonts forth
thoway tosafetr, and in so many words tells
theso gentlemen that that way is not theirs.
Wo had hoped thoy would overlook
.the personal errors of Administration. Wo
wore mistaken, ... inero must
bo a more magnanimous spirit in our public
councils. Abandon tho wholo
Ban Iomlngo scheme. There is no publlo opin
ion to support It. It Is cloudod with doubts. It
has been followed by evil omens from tho first.
The temper ol Congress hi such ns to lnsuro Its
delent. To persevere In It In
thefacoof all these warnings, Is to perscvcroln
ruin. It would be a most gracious act to with
draw the project, and It would bo crowned with
the favor of the whole people.
Wo plead In tho Interest of our great cause.
Pennsylvania has no griefs. She never com
plained when her best and trnost men chief
among tho architects of the great victory of 18M
were set aside for confessed incapable. Hho
has asked nothing of the Trrsldont but a falrnil
ministration. But It would bo folly to deny that
tho cause that wrought the mischief In New
Hampshire nro at work in her bosom, and. will
bo succeeded by a like result unless they are
remedied. . ,
Wo plead therefore In no man's Interest, In no
spirit of retaliation for a great State Ignored nnd
neglected, when wo nsk General Grant to send
the message of "Peace" to tho great party that
elected him. Ho has tho power to do It. He de
clared In his Inaugural that he would have no
policy versus tlio popular will.
We plead In the Interests of our great
party and Us army of gaUaut ndvocates. Is It
right that our young nnd deserving Republicans
should bo mado victims on tho altar of popular
distrust t Tlio candidates who wero defeated In
New Hampshire fell, not because they had sup
ported the Ban Domingo policy nnd proscription
but becauso the people feared their success
would bo so construed. Shall wo add to these
sacrifices in other States by a persevcrenco In
this Ill-starred policy r Wo pray that President
Grant will reconsider the question lit season. It
is never too Into to retreat from a mistake. It is
never too lalo to do good.
Dut It Is too lalo for Radical repent
ance! True, "whllo tho lamp holds
out to burn tho vilest sinner may ro
turn,'' but in the caso of tho Radicals
the lamp has gone out I There is no re

Tho Radical caucuses of tho Senate
and Houso each resolved that thero
should bo no legislature at this session
except somo moro stringent laws against
tho so-called Kuklux but In fact against
tho decent peoplo of tho South generally.
But when tho bill was offered in tho
House, treason appeared In thoir camp I
Tho Press correspondent tolls tho story
thus :
It appoars that Speaker BX-aine prepared n
resolution, which was subsequently offered by
Mr Peteks of Maine, postponing action on the
condition of tho South until next December, and
providing that in tlio meantlino n commltlco bo
appointed to lnvestlgato tho condition of affairs
In that section. Somo consultation was had be
tween Blaise, Dawks, nnd n few other gentle
men who are nuslous to adjourn, nnd It was Inti
mated to the Democrats that If they would accept
this they might get rid 'of the Kuklux bill, nt
least for the present. Tho Democrats or courso
accepted, nnd when the resolution was offered by
Mr. Peters It secured tho unanimous voto ol
tho Democrats nnd about twenty Republicans,
and was carried.
It is said tho extreme Radicals on this
committco will follow Butler's ex
amplo nnd refuse to serve. Tho resolu
tion is n complcto defeat of tho Radi
cals and is as much as to say that tho
Sonato committeo on that subject Is 1m
competent, or mat mo wnoio tiling is a
humbug! But for a full understanding
of tho subject, seo Butler's manifesto.
Two important facts nro established:

Jmt now there Is n terrible uproar
ovor tho circumstance of tho "Govern.
mcnt" having dismissed onoof ItsJiln-
Istors, in tho person of Charley Sumner.
Wo don't sco any reason, or necessity,
for nil this. Sumner without doubt, Is
griovod by tho slight put upon hlm,and
his friends In nsplrltof rovongoaro how
ling nt tho King with might nnd main.
Neither Charley nor his partisans havo
nuv cauio for cotnnlalnt. Did not tho
Seuato nnd Houso, tho Departments,
and tho wholo Radical party, Invest old
Abo with virtual kingly powers, and
did thoy not contend against tho wholo
Democratic party that ho waslho"UoV'
ernment?" To bo suro tliey did. It is
truo howovcr that when Andrew John
son succeeded his majesty tho "Govern
incut," that they attempted n chnngo
of base, und did iu a mcasuro succeed
But when his day was past, and tlio
Illustrious tanner of hides elected, did
not tho "Government" tako up its rcsi
donco in tlio new incumbent? Most
certainly it did ; and Its movements and
views nro by no means matter for com
mon criticism that is if Radical logic
bo correct. No man was stronger in tho
support of Lincoln than Charley Sum
tier, nnd no man of tho wholo infamous
herd went further to destroy personal
liberty, and to lniposo upon tho people
nn autocracy then he. And now that
Charley has taken Issuo with "IlioGoV'
ernment," nnd opposes his illustrious
sovereign In his schemoj for tho nggran
dlzement of himself and family, the
"Government" is certainly right upon
Radical grounds, in dismissing him.
Nay, wo think that Charley should bo
grateful that ho is not arrested and sent
off to ono of thoso comfortablo bastlies,
so much in voguo iu tho days of good
King Abe, to bo taken thenco nt tho
plcasuro of tho "Government," tried,
condemned, (of courso) and executed I
Somo of tho Radical nowspnpors, such
as tho Press, tlio Inquirer, und the
Evening Bulletin, Iu very bad tasto in
deed, openly attack tho "Government,"
and hint at a disruption of the Radical
party I But they don't mean it; thoy
know that tho party will hold together
whilst thero is a shred of flesh left upon
tho carcass of tho "Government," of
which they may expect a share. Break

Jfcw Hampshire Election.
The unexpected result of tho New
Hampshire election and tho overwhelm
ing Democratic victory thero, has fright
ened .tho Radicals terribly and they
seora to see in it tho hand writing upon
tho wall. Sumneh nnd his friends have
tho impudence to attompt to brenk the
forco of tho victory by declaring tlint
his disgrace by tho Senato was tho causo
of it ! Preposterous lmpudenco, truly I
Why such effect? Tho Now Hamp
shire Senators both sustained Sumner
and both opposed San Domingo both
wero on tho stump and using all their
influence. Would It sustain Sumner
to defeat them, his friends? Would
any man voto to defeat Sumner candl-
dates In order to provo friendship for
him ? If so. it would bo on tho princi
pie of interpreting Irish dreams, by
contraries.
But why set up this absurd theory
when tho Radical party has been on tho
decline for years? Thoy succeeded at
tho last Presidential election only by
tno great military popularity and sup
posed non-partisan character of Qen,
Grant, and by tho gross blundering of
tho Deinocaatlc National Convention.
Ever sinco that tlmo their downward
courso has been more rapid than over,
Every step they havo taken sinco to ro-
cover strength has disgusted people
more. Their tyranny, their oppres
sion, their corruption, their extrava
gance, their Incompetency, their debate
ment of tho ballot, their contempt for
tho truo principles of tho government,
their mockery of Instirn nnd thn rights
of tho people theso aro tho millstones
around their necks that aro dragging
them down to perdition. All tho elec.
tlons that havo occurred sinco 18G0 to n
greater or less extent lllustrato this fact.
Tho Democratic strength in tho present
Congress Is moro than double what it
was in tho last, nnd theso heavy gains
wero mado beforo Sumner's disgrace.
Tho overwhclmlnc result of tho elec.
Hon in the first Senatorial district of
this Stnto was a powerful indication of
tno storm mat is approaching, and tho
result in now Hampshlro was only un
looked for becauso It Is a yankeo State,

A violent discussion on Butler's
manifesto occurred in tho Houso on the
17th. Speaker Blaine denounced him
ns a falsifier and slanderer, nnd in this
ho was sustained by n number of tho
leading Republicans In tho House, in
eluding Dawes, Kelly nnd others.
It nppcars that C8 Republicans voted
with tho Democrats In favor of
Blaine's resolution, and only CO
against it, Butler stated in his card
that only 20 or 80 Republicans voted
with tlio Demccrats. Tho discussion
proved that Butler's card abounds In
falsehood, ns his speeches always do.

Having been appointed ngnlnst my
wlshos, expressed both publicly nnd
prlvntcly, by tho Spenkor as chairman
of n committco to Invcstignto tho stato
of affairs in tho South, ordcicd to-dny
by Democratic votes, ngainst tho most
enrnest protest of moro than n two-thirds
majority of tho Republicans of tho
House, and certainly against tho nlmost
unanimous wish of tlio Republicans of
tho States whom It most specially con
ccrns, my self-respect nnd dofcronco to
your good opinion rcquiro mo to explain
to you, and through you to tho country
why Isliall notscrvoon that committee,
being convinced, ns I am, that no good,
but harm only, can como of It to tho
Republican party.
J'irst. Because this committeo was
forced upon tho Republicans by tho
nearly unanimous voto of tho Demo
cratic party in tho House, nldod by Homo
twenty or thirty Republicans only
alnst tho decision of n majority of
that party In a duly-called caucus of the
members of tho House.
(second, Becauso this committeo was
raised by n combination of tho high
tariff Republicans with tho Democracy,
tho ono class willing to permit tho
slaughter nnd extermination of their
political friends In the South if tlio tariff
could bo saved even for nlno mouths by
an early adjournment of Congress, nnd
tho Democracy inctlng with them In
pursuanco of a deliberate plan carefully
concocted, In my belief, to murder and
outrago enough Union men of tho South
to overcorao by fear, Intimidation, and
Injury tho Republican majority thero nt
tho next Prcsldental election, they well
knowing that this committeo can do
them no harm, nnd that It will furnish
nn excuso for tho tariff Republicans to
voto wit li them for an early adjourn
ment without legislation to protect Un
ion men In tho rebel States.
Third. Becauso such committco would
bo wholly powerless for any good pur
pose, anting in tlio vacation, it can
have, under parliamentary law, no
power to compel tlio attendance of a
singlo witness who does not choo30 to
como, or answer from ono when ho does
come, as tho only method by which a
wltucss can bo brought beforo a Con
grcsslonal committco and mndo to nn
swer when unwilling, is, tho Houso
being in session, by Its order of nrrest
nnd imprisonment for ills contempt
during tho session oply, so that any un
willing witucss cannot bo compelled to
testify to anything, nnd tho witnesses
willingly coming beforo tho committco
to testify to anything ngainst their Jvu
klux neighbors would bo killed on their
way homo from the commlttco-room. J
do not, therefore, proposo to mako my-
self accessory beforo tho fact to tho
murder of every faithful Union man in
tho South who shall bo brought beforo
tho committeo and givo truthful ovl
denco of tho stato of outrago and wrong
which I know to exist there.
Fourth. Becauso my servlco n3 chair
man of tlio committeo would lurnisli
the best electioneering document that
could bo placed In tho hands of tho Do
mocracy iu tlio coming contest, iu this
that tho report of tho committeo would
bo wholly nugatory, illusory, and uso
les3 to show tho exact stato of things at
tho South. Whenovcr and wherever
tho committco would go thero would bo
sunshine and peaco, nnd wo should bo
compelled so to report. AVhero wo wero
not and could not bo, banded murder,
robbery, and arson would stalk abroad
at night, to bo disbanded by tho rising
sun. Besides, I havo not tho slightest
doubt that while serving on your coin
mltteo in the Southern States I Bhould
bo treated with tho highest and most
distinguished consideration and respect
That would bo in tho farthest degree
politic, nnd Southern men understand
politics. I fully believe that I can go
anywhero through every portion of tho
South nlono and unattondod, nnd
fortiori, when nt tho head of a Cou
grcsslonal committeo of investiga-
tlon, without personnl harm or In

should claim iu tho canvass that it was
necessary, to maintain tho Republican
party in power, to havo peaco nt the
South nnd to protect our loyal friends
there, they would bonusweredou ovory

tho efficiency nnd powers of tho com
mltteo, my services would be useless
and I am not accustomed to undertake
to do that which I feel that I havo no
power successfully to accomplish j nnd
It Is n parliamentary practice which has
lately been Illustrated In a signal In
stance in tho Sonato, that tho chairman
of a committco should bo in harmony
with tho majority who coustltuto It.
Thero Is no element of harmoliy be
tween mo and that Democratic party,
largely composed of Secessionists, old
Whigs, nnd Know Nothings, who are
tho majority that constitute this com
mute. Sixth, Becauso this committeo was
brought into being by a lcglslatlvo
trick and not a crcditablo ono ut that
by which tho wishes of tho Republi
can majority of tho Houso havo been
thwarted by n Republican minority, by
the nld of Democratic votes, with
which proceeding, as n Republican, I
desiro most effectually to dlvorco myself.
Seventh, Becauso tho. very resolution
which authorized tho committco was
so framed, and in my belief purposely,
in tho interests of tho Democratic party,
that such committco cannot report, un
dcr tho rules of tho Houso, In tho fuco
of tho Democratic opposition, without
tlielr permission, M moro than n year
from tills tlmo, tlio usual power not be
ing Inserted in it to report nt any time,
nnd, being a special select committco,
It cannot, under tho rules of tho
Houso" bo called in Its turn until
ftcr nil tho standing committees
mva beon called which In tho last
Homo of Representatives look moro
than n year: so that, without tho
oavo of tho Democrnts, such com
mittco could not oven mako n re
port and havo it printed until nftci' tho
next Presidential canvass.
Eighth. Becauso tho pnssngo of tho
resolution Is n scorning discourtesy to
tho other branch yf tho Legislature, tho
Scnnto having taken tip nn Investiga
tion through Its o.vu committee, and
having proceeded to n very considera
ble extent In It, nnd mado a report in
iart which certainly, to every Republi
can mind, shows n stato of crlmo And
horror sufllciont to justify leglslnttvo
nction. Tho Houso Is made to say to
tho Senate, "You nro not compotcnt to
perform tho work you havo underta
ken, and wu will tako It out of your
hands," I havo no fear that you, my
Republican friends, will think for n
moment that nny considerations look-
ng to tho lnbor nud fatlguo of such nn
undertaking In tho heat of summer nnd
tho height of tho yellow-fever season

The Platform of Itnilical Imperialism,
Tho legislation of tho party in power
during tho last five years, nfford a fair
Index to tho vlows and purposes of tho
men who mould Its policy nnd control
Its organization. Tho nets of tho na
tional Congress and tho manner In
which thoso acts havo been enforced by
tho executive, furnish forth tho plat
form on which tho mis-called "Repub
Ilcan" party must stand In tho coming
Presidential campaign of 1872. The
varnish to bo laid upon this platform
by artfully drawn resolutions of nom
inating conventions cannot gl03i It over
sons to conceal tho rotten plauks of
which it is constructed. It is built
from tho decayed timbers of tho Euro
pcan system, and Its foundation is n
mosaic of tho deceit of Napoleon, tho
greed of Bismarck and tho absolutism
of Alexander II.
1. Tho party In power has given tho
central government unlimited control
of tho financial affairs of tho country
Tho Secretary of tho Treasury possesses
an electric battery which nt n singlo
touch of his hand may shock tho wholo
country Into n financial panic. His de
partment has been mado tho centre of
tho monetary system throughout tho
length and breadth of tho land.
2. That party has wrested from tho
States and tho peoplo tho power to
regulate popular elections and conferred
it upon tho central or federal authority,
3. It has subjeclod States and districts
to military rule in times of profound
peaco.
1. It has established a large standing
army, which is now used mainly by the
federal administration In tho suppress
Ion of freo elections.
5. It has fastened upon tho peoplo n
system of Internal taxation which au
thorizes tno federal administration to
pry into tho private business of ovory
citizen through tho agency of hordes of
useless officials paid out of tho national
treasury.
G. It has brought tho federal govern
ment Into conflict with tho States, in
granting charters to corporations, and
has .rendered so powerful the corpora
tions which It has thus created, by sub
sides in lands and moneys, as to onablo
them to overrldo and tramplo out thoso
created by tho States.
7. It has established a tariff which
enables tho federal power to subsidizo
local and special Interests nt tho ex
penso of a largo majority of tho pco
plo.
8, It has attempted to placo tho con
trol of tho railroads nnd tho telographs
of tho country In tho hands of tho fed
eral government.
9, It has proposed to rob tho States
and tho peoplo of tho power to regulato
their schools, and to vest It In tho fed
eral authority.
Sucli nro somo of tho materials of
which tho platform of tho Imperialists
is composed. It Is thoroughly uu
American, from beginning to end. It

Scnnto. By this plnn thoy hopo to
to roich tho end of tho session nnd ad
journ without making tho call. This Is
based upon tho hopo of getting control
of tho Sonato next fall, and then thoy
would havo things all their own way.
Under such a condition, of courso thoy
desiro no such restraints as n rovlscd
Constitution would certainly imposo;
thoy want to go on In tho "samo old

vantages of special legislation, which n
long oxpcrleuco has demonstrated, how
over Injurious to tho peoplo nt largo, to
bo highly profitable to tho ropresonta1
tlvos of tho nartv In nowcr.
Again, thoy hopo In this way to forco
upon tho Democrats tho odium of de
feating tho measure, nnd then make
tlio welkin ring noxt fall With peal af
ter peal from thostump about their own
honesty nnd dlshonosty of others. This
gnino is so ovldcnt that no Democrat
will bo deceived by it, and it is to be
hoped Hint members of their own par,
ty will not bo gulled by it to nny con
siderable extent. Tho convention
ought to bo called upon a fair basis,nnd
nny bill manifestly In tho Interest of
ono party nnd ngainst tho other, covers
a contemplated fraud iu ono shapo or
another. Clinton Democrat.

Tun Philadelphia Post declares tlint
tho disgraceful light between Ilim.Kit
and BLAINE Is full of danger to tholtc-
publlcan party. It comments upon tho
matter thus:
"Tho danger of tho recent troubles In
tho Republican party is tlmt the most
popular mid influential men In tho
country aro ut war with each other, and
differ in respect to our political policy.
It is useloss to say that General Hutckh
drops Into inalcnlficaneo when ho op
poses Speaker Ulai.ne, or that his pow
er would ho destroyed even If ho should
opposo the p.irty Itself. Such men
yield great Influence, and It Is tlio worst
element of our present political situa
tion that tho leading minds of tho nation
aro not In harmony with tho policy of
tho Administration"
The great election frauds practiced
by somo of tho leading lUdlcals of
Philadelphia may possibly bo checked
slightly In futuro In conscqucnco of tlio
conviction on Saturday last of John
Brill, a Radical return Judgo, provided
tho fellow gots a sentonco long enough
