Wo rcfjrot to boo fomo of our Homo
crollo cotcinporarlra opposing tlio pro
posed nmendment to tlio Constitution
to limit tlio sessions of tho liOgtslntttro
to ono In two yenrs. Wo tnko It for
grnntod thnt tho Convention vtW l'ut
an eternnt atop to nil prlvnlo nd spec
ial togWatlnn. Then no other will bo
needed except for mnklnrf provision for
tho support of government nnd amend
ing present general Jaws perhaps un
occasional now one. Onco In two years
would ho ollen enough for this purpose,
and wouhl not only s.ivotho oxpenso of
ono election ana ono session, nut woum
break nit nil combinations nnd.rlngs.
Of course Iho Governor would still bo
nilthorl-ed, as at prcso.itto conveno
the Legislature at onyjlmo for extra
ordinary emergencies.
Tho Luzcrno Union brings forward a
decidedly radical proposition' raado
long ago by our old friend S. 1. Col
linos, well known In this county n.3 a
prominent politician In days gono b'.
Thcro Is merit In tho proposition, nrul
wo would llko to sco It adopted, to wit :
"An Amendment or the ConstitU'
TION AllOLtSIIING IiEOISLiTIVi: As
BEMI1LIF.S IN THIS C'OMMllN WKAT.Tir,
AN1 WTAIIMSHIXa AN. EXECUTl VJ!
Council wiui'ir, Tociutiier with
THE OoVEKNOn, BIIAI.I, FltAMIi ALL
LAW3 TO HE SU11MITTED l'Olt THE
Adoption on Rejection or the
People." This plan nlao proposed
that such laws should bo submitted to
tho people for ndptlon or rfjectlou nt n
general election onco In flvo years. Mr.
Collinos also proposed, In connection
therewith to mako It a penal ofTcnco for
any man to nccept an ofllco ho was not
qualified to fill, making tho ofTcnco In
dictable, tho culprit to bo tried by Court
Bnd Jury In tho usual way, and If found
guilty to bo forever debarred Iroin hold
ing ofllco and to bo subject to Imprison
ment to tho extent of natural life! We
havo no doubt that such nmendmont
would havo a salutary effect upon ofllce
hunters and wguld turn many a chap's
ambition from ofllco-huntlng to a more
reputable mode of making an honest
living I
Many papers of all parties aro advo
cating tho election of tho very ablest
men In every county or district as dele
gates to tho Constitutional Convention.
This Idea will commend lUelf to the
common senso of every man: A consti
tutional convention Is no placo for
blockheads or demagogues.
I'roiiaseil Surrender.
Certain vagabond politicians, with
the Ulaius nt their head, havo tho ef
frontery to ask tho Democratic party to
disband, to mnko no nomination for
President, to nomlnato a Radical, Ac.
Wo believe that In no promlncnt caso
lins any recognized Democrat watlo
either of theso proposltlons-but It comes
froui tho30 who havo come over tn us
since the war from such as tho Bt.Ains,
Chase, Andy John-eon, Caul Suuum
tho Now York World, and others who
can scarcely swear to their own political
Identity. Gentlcmon, go whoro you
will, but you shall neither corrupt or
cpwer tho Dsmocracy. Do what you
will, n Democratic candldato will bo In
tho field for Prcsldont, and no power on
earth can prevent it. Conventions nnd
politicians may bo bought up but tho
peOplo cannot be.
What dlffercnco to tho Democracy
which Republican leader shall bo Pres
ident ? Whother it bo Grant, or Sum
ner, or Butler, or Chase, or Gree
ly, is of no consenuenco whatovcr, and
if a selection is to bo mado from amongst
theso, few Democrats will cara a straw
which shall bo successful. Tlio Dcmo
cratlc opposition is to a Republican be
ing President not moro to Genornl
Grant occupying that position than lo
any other Republican occupying It. It
Is to tho politics and practlcos of Re
publicans that tho Democrats olject
their principles aro destructive to tho
. best interests of tho country, nnd this
is why Gen. Grant Is objected to.
Tho wiseacres wo refer to emphatically
calcul&to without their ho3t. The Dem
ocratic party cannot be transferred lo the
tupport of a Jlepublicun. If such at
tempt wcro mado by tho National Con
ventlon, Immense numbers would refuse
to ratify thoactlon.and very large, mini
bcrs.to express their liorror of tho action
and prevent It In future, would voto
directly for Grant. . Aro man but a
Democrat can beat Gen. Grant, and
the sooner tho trndlng politicians como
to this conclusion tho better it will bo
for all concerned. But they say "sue
cess" must beobtalned no inntter what
Is trampled under foot, success above
all things! Well, gentlemen, if that Is
all It is easy to bo obtained nominate
Grant! Then thcro'wlll bo no opposl.
tloii nnd Heaven Itself will not prevent
"success I" In fact you will bo kucccsi
ful unanimously I
But, cowards 1 to yn'ur tents to your
beds! President making is tho hnslncsn
of men men who can not only faco do
feat hut brao nny danger. Bravo
men will never yield their principle.
Thcro Is but ono conclusion, and lli..t Is
irreversible, viz: Democrats will not
voto for any man who does not repre
sent, their principles, and thcroforo the
Democratic candldato for President
must bo a Democrat If success Is ituira
Blo.utlierwlso it la not possible except
uuant uo nominated I
It would be Interesting lo know who
"irnuisiieu uepubllcana upon
wnora tho Dcmucracy Is bulldlug Its
bopea in the noxl Presidential cam
palgn. The existence of this clement,
which many would havo tho opposition
disband their organization or chango
their colors to win over. Is mythical.
Wo seo no ovidenco of them or their
votes iu tho elections or tho venr. Tho
party in every Stnto of tho 'Union was
intact and undlvidpd. J'Mla. iVeu.
If tho gamblers who want to sell out
the Democratic" party, and who proba
bly crawled into it for that rmrnoao.
bcllovo their own assertions let them
Inform tho public who will como to
Uteir aid ir thoy succeed In their pur
poses. What" clement is it? What
would bo Its purposes? Who aro its
Icadors ? You aro daily defied to men.
tlon them, why don't you answer?
Tho fact Is, tho men who proposo this
suicidal nnd Infamous coutso aro leaders
without followers, patriots without
principle, Generals without a causo or
an army, charlatans who want to prey
. upon tho public, wiso men without
sense, busy bodies with desperate po
lltlcal fortunes, whoso wisdom nud pa
triotism nro dictated by their want.
"Patent OaWilen."
Wn reirret to sco bo resiicclnblo and
nhlo n paper as tho Northumberland
Omnly Democrat adopting tlio "patent
otiMilo" plnn-tlmt , obtaining sheets
of paper with the first and fourth pages
already printed, fiom publlsiung esinu-
llxhiiionts in tno cities which supply
perhaps a thousand other papers with
tho samo matter, As IhU matter mint
netwarlly bo of a character that will
not gtvoolfonco to nny locality, party,
sect, opinion or prejudice, It Is of courso
Insipid, moatilnglox, wjrlhlon, with
out prlnclploor Information Hat stalo
and often vulgir and abounding In
(alsohooil nnd pernicious follies. Tlio
conscientious and honest editor feels alt
tho responsibility aud anxiuty for mat
Ing every page of his paper Interesting
nnd worthy of patronngo ns ho docs any

tlio outsldo only bocauso ho hopes
(against reason) that tho articles will bo
passably goodj'but mainly bcrauso ho
can buy the paper thus printed cheaper
limn ho can buy tho blank sheets. Wo
know that many nro Imposed upon nnd
am compelled to pay more, but others
buy for'less than tho valuo of tho blank
paper, hecnuso tho producer of tho
"patent outsldo" reserves tho right to
put In several columns of nds-ortlse
mcnts for which ho receives tho pay.
Tho editor Is In every respect ns re
sponsible for tho extracts his paper con
tains a? ho is for what ho writes. Most
readers read tlio selections with ns much
Interest as tho editorial, If mado with
earo and Judgment. It Is a blunder for
nny editor to supposa that tho popular
ltyof his paper depends upon lilsown
writing nlono tho Intelligent reader
takes tho cntlro contents Into consider.
ation. Suppose n paper wcro Issued
hero In IJIoomsburg tho wholoof which
was known to ha printed and edited In
Now York, by persons who wero cntlro
strangers to this community, how much
Interest could our people feel In It, or
how much respect would it command ?
It would bo Justly esteemed nsan at
tempted Impusltlon on tho c immunity.
If ono half the paper Is printed in that
way, then It U open to condemnation as
so far a swindle. How any respectable
editor can thus mako himself a party to
a fraud, tho peddler of other men's
opinions without the privilege of exam
Inlngand rejecting them, It Is dilllcult
to comprehend.
Ability Is as fully shown In selections
as In editorials llioy m ly be mndo
equally ns interesting If not mine so
every editor finds himself to his sub
scribers to do the beil he cm to servo
them well, but hu defrauds them when
ho Imposes upon Ilium thohhllly-slmlly
refuso of city publishing houses. Jf
editors will not itspcct themselves po
far as lo control and edit their own pa
pers, how cm tho public havo respect
for them V A man might bo excused
for burrowing bowels if ho had nono of
his own, but when ho agrees to glvo tho
puhlle thj best efforts of Ills own brains
ho Is In honor bound to slick to his bar
gain. Wo very much doubt thu logalltv of

bo said to b3 printed In tho country, nor

The earnest Intensity with which
winter begins Its carosr this year Is
severely felt iu moro ways than ono.
Not only do tho poor, who aro always
uuprepared for emorgoncies, suffer from
Insufllclent shelter, clothing, and food,
but tho rich havo received a sharp cut
from tho indlscrlmlnatlng soason. A
large number of canal-boats havo boon
suddenly stopped on tho way from tho
West by tho closing iu of tho ice, and
many millions of bushels of grain nro
thereby kept from tho market. Some
of tho vosrcls havo been damaged and
portions of tho cargoes lost. On tho
lakes, too, somo losses havo occurred.
It Ij a fact worthy of note that on tho
other sldo of tho Atlantic tho winter
has tct in slIIL;carlIer than here, and
with greater severity. Tliero Is every
reason to autlclpatoa moro than usually
sevcro season, and whatever can bo

allevlato tho sufferings that It -will
cause should bo douo quickly.
Xo Surrender In Ohio.
Oa Friday last, Iho Domocratic Stato
Central Commlttco of Ohio met nt Co
lumbus. Messrs. Pendleton, Morgan,
McCook, and other leading Democrats,
wcro present. Tho Committee dlscussod
tho nencral political situation. It was
determined not to name Iho dato or
placo of holding tho next Stato Conven
tlou, and another meeting of tho Com
mlttco will bo held on tho 2il of Feb
ruary, to decide Ihejo points. Oa ac
count of other cnjugome'itii, Hon. A.
G. Thurman felt himself compollod to
resign tho Chairmanship of tlio Com
mittee. Tho Commlttco report that tho
Democracy of tho Stato aro not con
quered, panic stricken, or demoralized,
but aro willing, In 1872, to mako another
effort, Stalo nnd National, to securo the
triumph of Djmocratlc principle;.
Montgomery Blair. John Q.
Ad.uis and other disgusted Republic
ans who wont swallow Radicalism,
want tho Democracy to mako no nom
ination for President and como over to
them I Would It not bo equally modest
for theso gentry to como over to tho
Democracy? We havo read that Mo.
hammed onco commanded a mountain
to como to him, but r.s It continued to
stand still In deflanco of his command,
ho settled tho question by going to tho
mountain I Disgusted Republic tns may
profit by tho cxamplo.
The Dfinocratlc leaders of tho Stalo
of Now York did not hcsltato as to
what was tholr duty when tho frauds of
Tweed & Co. camo to thu surface. Thoy
at onco commenced prosecution against
them for malfjasanco In oQlco. In
straugo contrast with this Is tho conduct
of tho lenders of tho Radical party.
With astounding frauds turning up
overy day, they form closer alllanco
with tho plunderers, and If thoy do not
actually assist them in tholr specula
tions, sfileld thorn from punishment.
More Rascality to he Covered
up iiy Martial Law. Thcro is a
strong cry for martial law coining up
from Georgia. Tho necessity for it will
bo fully approclatod whon wo say that
It comes exclusively from tho Ilullock
gang of plunders. If they can got tho
civil courts closed thoy will feci perfect
ly safo. No doubt Oraut nnd Akcrman
will soothe tholr porturbed souls by
declaring martial law as soon as proso
cutlons nro commonccd against them.
Tlio Opening of Congress
Both Houses of Congress convened In
annual session on Monday last. Tho
Senate mot nt noon with nearly a full
atlcndanco of Senators and well filled
galleries. In (he ltonso two hundred
and onq members nnswercd to tholr
names. Tho third nunual message of
President Grant was sent In and read
In both Houses. The nicssago roaches
us Just as wo aro going to press and too
lata for us even to mako a synopsis of
It. Tho nbsenco of tho editor from
town Is our excuso for having noedltor
lal remarks o:i this important docu
ment. ' Soniilorl.il Scuts to lie. Contested.
Sir. 1'limJlt, tho Democratic candi
date, will contest tho seat of Weakly,
Republican, declared elected to tho
Stato Sennto from tho Cumberland and
Franklin district. Wo Infer that Mr.
Pepper does not expect to obtain tho
seat himself, but by making proof that
Weakly was cloctod by bribery and
fraud, hnvo a now election ordered.
Tlio Philadelphia Press nnnounccs that
Parrisu, of Luzerne, will contest tho
election of Collins, who had about
1000 majority. Having failed to brlbo
n sufllcicnt number of votes to elect him,
tho rascal now expects to succood by
brlblngScnntorj I Tho iowalso threat
ons thnt another attempt will bo mado
to steal tho seat of Col. Dechert, al
though ho had 1300 majority at tho clcc
tlon. Tho fact that a Democrat hns a
majority nt an election Is no Indication
that ho will bo permitted to servo In a
Legislative position If tho Radicals want
It badly. Tho history of tho last ten
years, bith In Congress nud tho Stato
Legislature, provo) that majorities aro
of noaccount In Radical eyes, that oaths
of ulllco have no binding force, and that
they will admit their own candidates
when necessary to their Interests, with
out nny regard whatuver to tho voles of
tho people
A Proposition.
Hon. Daniel W. Vooriieks, of In
diana has published n letter proposing
that thoNutlonnl Executive Commlttco
shall call n National Convention, to
meet on a day not later than tho 22 J of
February next ; that this Convention
shall ho composed of delegates I'hoscn
by Stato and District Conventions, and
that It shall ngreo upon a definite de
claration of principles upon all matters
affecting our political institutions. The
declaration umc, tho Convention
should ndtourn to a day fixed for tho
nomination of a Presidential candldato
In tho mean tlmo tho people can discuss
nnd nppiovo or disapprove of what has
been done. Mr. Vooriieeh concludes
by iiaylng that It would bo tho duty of
nil Democrats to submit lo the decision
of tho msjorlty. He argues that If the
Democratic voto cin bo consolidated,
Inspired with enthusiasm and brought

Deaths by Itallro.nl.
Unless tho accident Is ono that do
stroyssevcralllvcsor occurs near a town,
deaths upon railroads aro rarely report
ed to tlio public, nud especially is this
tho caso when employees ou freight
trains aro killed.
Tlio for York Herald suggests as
tlio best remedy to pruvent railway ac
cidents, that tlio porsons injured, or
relatives of thosokillcd by them, should
always promptly suo for damages. If
this wero done, thcro would bo greater
regard lor human life ou tho part of tho
corporatlous interested, because Juries
almost Invariably award verdicts In
favor of tho plaintiff. But very often
pcoplo who oro hurt in such accidents
do not think of tho legal redress nt their
command, whilo tho friends of tho do-
ceased aro frequently without thomcaus
orthocourago to begin a suit against
tho companies. As for tho killed, wo
havo tlio authority of Artomus Ward
that "dead men don't suo; thoy alnt ou
it."

Tho Savannah Jlepublicun, comment

Tlio lllcclloii Trials Ihnlcil.
(irand mztE.
These contested election cases which
wcro commenced some four weeks ago,
with a sweeping vjrry of charges of
frauds In Democratic districts, havo
como to nsudilcn termination. Com
missioner A. A. Chase, Esq., who was
appointed two weeks ago to tako testi
mony In theso casos, and to mako his
report on tho 27lh Instant, appeared In
court at that date, and stated that tho
contestants had not appeared before him
for tho purpose of taking ovidenco to
03tnbllsh their complaint, although
thoy had been duly notified of his sit
tings and of his readiness to proceed
with tho duties of his appointment, nnd
as a matter of courso could mako no
further report for tho consideration of
tho court.
Mr.' Rhone, as attorney for tho re
spondents, then asked that tho cases bo
dismissed and the costs to follow tho
suits.
Mr. Palmer, as attorney for tho con
testants, explained tho causo for their
failure to appear before tho commiss
ioner as required to do, and assigned
tho delay totho inability of Mr. Ketch
um, tho chief counsel, to glvo his at
tcntlou to tho business.
Without waiting for further excuses
or arguments Hon, Thomas Collins, ono
of tho associates, rem irked, that tho
court would disposoof tho cases by dls
missing them and directing tho contes
tants to pay the costs; nnd handed tho
clerk tho following papor for flllug

So stands tho record of theso llirco
contested cases, and tho public will not
bo a llttlo surprised to learn that tho
petitioners or plaintiff's, havo hacked
square out of tho contest, and aro will
lug to pay a forfeit, to tlio amount of the
costs, rather than risk tho final Issuo of
a thorough test of tho rclativo rascality
between tho two political parties in tlio
county. Wo Intended to publish a gen
oral review of theso cases, nnd an im
partial contrast between tho frauds nnd
tricks of tlio loading Domocratic and
Republican politicians of this locality,
but tho trials havo closed so abruptly
that wo havo not tho testimony of wit
ncsses to mako good our expectations,
Ono thing Is settled, however, that tho
Radicals havo in somo way met with
disappointment. They cither intended
to play a bluff game.jnnd frightened
tho democrats Into a compromlso or a
division of tho offices, nnd to humbug
thopeoplo Into tho belief that all of tho
election frauds aro committed In demo

If ono or both of theso purposes, was

tho offer of tho respondents to provo

much like business nnd too truthful for

(fencral (irant.
Iu concluding an articlo on tlio uncer
tainty of President Qraut'.s ronomlna
tlon, tho jige says:
Military j-cnown Is a flno thing, but
reason should limit tho sacrifice mado
to it. Tho first Bonanarte hrouorht
Franco to ruin, and himself to Saint
Helena, though ho was a great soldier.
His namo was tho stock In trade on
which hi-, nephew went Into business.
and his military government oat the
very heat tout of Framv, aid left her
feeble and Imjioveiishi'd, an easy prey
to her cucmlt". Tho American people
may profit hy the example. Thoy glvo
Gonernl Grant tho Presidency, and n
great many other gifts. They havo
given him enough. Wo need not mako
him a present of tho liberties of our
country. Ills military claim to tho
Presidency in now played out, with all
iitoiiigent men. Thuunhlred Intellect
of Iho country Is heartily sick of him.
Ho has boon paid In full, Ho can now
retire with a full pocket, nnd live lux-
urlousln ono of his many houses. Tho
Mexican war mado General Taylor
president with a hurrah. But four years
after, n mnn of moro consplclous ser
vices, General Scott, was utterly touted
onthoHimo military platform. That
History will repeat Itself now, If tho
wholoof tho democratic nnd hnlft tho
republican parlies unite In support of a
candldato whoso character affords a
guarnntco of honest administration of
tho freo constitutional govermuont,
which is tho greatest and dearest right
of every Amcrlcau citizen worthy of
tho name. How to bring tocether tho
elcmonts of opposition to tho corrupt,
greedy, selfish cliquoof plunderers who
havo General Grant Iu their kcenlnc.
isnow tho only problem. Shall Mahom
et como to tho mountain, or tho moun
tain como to Mahomet? Either will
answer, as Mahomet said when ho son.
slbly solved that question. To solvo It
now, It Is only needed to mergo selfish
pretentions lit tho gonernl good. Tho
union of tho opposition to Grant.assures
his defeat, that is certain, certain "as
fate," certain as arithmetic. To that
great good.all minor considerations
ought to bo subordinated, and wo do
not think so 111 of the Intelligence of
tho American pcoplo, as to bollovothat
this groat good cannot bo attained. Tho
year that will olapso beforo thopresI.

a combination of tho honest, patriotic
and Intelligent elements of both polltl

want to keep themselves in power by

Wo mako no apology for publishing

whoso advocacy of proportional repre

nnd who thoroughly comprehends tho

clearly than wo could hopo to do, nnd
his statement and Illustrations will not
fall to Interest tho render :
Bi.ooMsnuna, Nov. 22, 1871,
Dear Governor t Your nrtlclo In
The Day of tho IStli Inst., on Equal
Representation Is well conceived and
worked nut, nnd Is directed to a point
of tho debate) upon reform which re
quires attention.
Tho term "Minority Representation,"
as applied to our reform, Is Inaccurate
and misleading. . Wo do not prop6so to
represent minorities nt all, but ccw
fre majorities In constituencies, In all
plural elections. Iu fact wo ndlicro to
and apply tho majority principle thor
oughly: woclvo to It moro extended
operation nnd effect than it hns over
nau in popular elections nnd causa it to
become, what it has never been, an In
strument ol Just and vory nearly com
plete representation of tho neonls.
Tako tho caso of n town of G30 voters
in which two assessors of taxes nro to
bo elected, nnd suppo'o a democratic
voto of .150 nnd n republican voloof 300.
Tho ratio of voters for an assessor will
of courso no uivi.
Then, .1.50 democratic voters, 1st mnj
U25 rnllo.
2.5 SOO republican voters,
scconei innjorny, and wo assign mo see
ond assessor to tills second majority.
Again, In tho election of threo town
auditors In thu samo town, on thn s uiin
vote, wo hnvo n ratio of 217 nearly, and

applied.
Now, although this computation of
successive majouies is not actually
made, It Is Involved in every applica
tion of tho freo vote, and It approxi
mates to Justice as nearly as possible.
Under thu old plan of voting in tho first

Those pcoplo then, who say "tho ma

The Co.minci Conciress. According
to General Butler, President-mnkiug Is
to be tho main business of thu coming
session of Congress. Unless tho gov
eminent has becomo practically nn oli
garchy, tho making of Presidents ought
to bo loft to tho people. That Is no
part In tho function of Congress, or, If
It Is, tho pcoplo have uo moro to do
with tho selection of their chief ruler
than the subjects of Europeau monarch
les. All they havo to do, at tho utmost,
Is to ratify a solectlon by an election
This was not tho design of tho founders
of tho government, nor consistent with
tho republican theory. Such aa assump
tion by Congress, besides oponing tho
door for corrupt appointments and
bribery, involves tho neglect of nil prac
tical business. Tho reduction of taxes
nnd tho llghtonlng of other public bur
thens aro objects anxiously desired by
tho country, and Iu which Congress
might find iv legitimate nnd nmplo field
for its energies. Another fact of ovll
omen Is mentioned by correspondents
when thoy Inform us that thoblrd3of
prey aro already docked to tho capital.
It Is predicted that overy old schomo
that has failed any tlmo thoso last ton
years will probably bo renewed, aud
now ones bo engendered hourly. Tho
corruptlonlsts gathered In Washington
do not so:m to havo taken to hoirt tho
lesson taught by tho fato of tho Now
York ring. Thoy seemed to bo lulled In
tho samo profound senso of security
that tho ring exhibited in Now York
Just boforo tlio reform earthquake shook
tho ground under them. It may bo
somo tlmo beforo tho national sentiment
against corruption lakes tho Washing-
tun rings in hand, and, being stronger
and worso than any other, they are
likely to dlo harder. But their day Is
coming, for tho people aro more power-
lul than Prcsldeu t-makers and lobby
ists, as tho national Tweeds may yet
discover when it is too lato to escape
tho public Indignation they havo arous
vil.Dall, &'un.
The Boston 1'osl pays of the presjnt
Radical campaign in South Carolina:
This trick has becomo too stalo to
work any longer. Everybody knows
that It Is what is professional styled a
put'tipjob. Hero Is an entire population
put to lllght by Federal troops, that
was living yo3terdy In ns quiet anil
contented a fellowship as characterizes
any other community. War has boon
practically declared against them by
tho Federal governmont. Not on nc-
count of nny crlmo on their part do
they Ilea but beeauso thoy aro invaded
by the troops of a government that hns
nothing to do with them. All this takes
placo under tho Infamous Ku-Klux law,
which was denounced ut tho tlmo of Its
passage, with such vigor, by Senators
ScHuitz and Tjiumiiull a statute
claiming Its origin In tlio Fourteenth
Amendment, which Is thus Interpreted
to mean tho ovorthrow Instead of tho
exteutloii of Republican liberty."
The "Now Departure" resolution did
moro Injury to tho Democratic party In
tho recent election than all tho frauds
committed hy tho rascals who havo
placed our party Indlsreputointho city
of Now York. Tho dovetailing of that
disastrous plank into tho Democratic
platform was tho causo of our discomfit
ure nnd defeat. Republicans that nro
disgusted with Radical rulo and who
voted for us last year nnd year before,
looked upon tho "Now Departure" as
tho material that closed up tho breach
between tho two contending parties on
tho negro question, nnd they considered
that no real reason existed why their
aid should bo given to us this year. Wo
attribute our defeats to this outrageous
picco of policy which was perpetrated
ou tho party against Its consent and In

ing tho preHent "King" In power.
No Surrender.
Tho following from tho Erlo Observer
expresses our sentiments exactly :
Wo nro sorry to meet a Democrat oc
casionally whohdlscourgcd over defeat
and talks nbout giving up nil effort for
tho parly hcreaftor. This Is not tho
spirit which should actuate tho friends
ofajustnml patriotic causo. Cowards
and tlmo servcrs desert and falter whun
,tho enemy gain nn advantage; bravo
men, who are actuated by prlnclplo,
nover. For seven years our revolution
ary fathers waged tholr struggle with
England, nmld tho most dlshonrtonlng
circumstances, yot tluy c.tnn out tri
umphant at last, and received 'tho ad
miration of mankind for their endur
nnco and valor. Wo who hoist of a
direct descent from thrso noblo men nro
unworlhy rf their momorlos anil unfit
lo bear Iho namo of freemen If wo can
not pattern nftcr thulr Illustrious ex
nmplo. Defeat had no terrors for them,
lot It havo nono for us : r.s' their attach
ment to principle nerved them to duty,
let 11 mako us thu moro firm and de
termined ; as they profiled hy dlsister,
let us bo taught and benefited. "Tho
Old Guard never surrenders," was tho
reply of a' noted general when called
upon to lay down his arms. And we
reply to tho3o who talk of giving up
our party organization : "Tho Democ
racy never surrender." Wo nro fight
ing for principles, not for mere spoils,
nnd defeat docs not nfuku ono Indict
mcnt against tho traitors to republican
Institutions tho less (rue, ir ono plank
of our platform tho less valiuble. Tho
battle wo havo fought for trtnj.i years,
ngaiust sectionalism and fanaticism wa
aro ready to prolong as iinny mare,
should It bo necessary, und wo nro not
In tho least nfrald but that victory will
ultimately crown our btnnora.
General GraxtM Ws-hlnglon oi-
gan after alluding lo tho Into elections
In the Southern States, which resulted
adversely to Its ptrty says : "It will re
quire not less than ton thousand regular
troops, Judiciously distributed through
out the Southern Stales, toInuru n freo
and fair election In thosi States, In
1872. It may bo necessary that Congress
should increase tlio army." Such an
announcement us tills would stir the
people of France, nt this time, to a
perfect frenzy. Tlio uso of trojp) to
Insure a fair, freo election, in a tlmo of
profound peace! What eff-jt will it
havo in tho United Slates?
It has transpired what bec.tmo of a
portion, nt least, of tho money for
which nn action is commenced against
William Jf. Tweed. Judgo Noah Davis,
United States District Attorney, states
that ho has received Information entire
ly satisfactory to his mind that "tho
Now York charter was voted for by tho
Republicans pursuant to a caucus reso
lution of both branches of tho Leglsla
ture, but that the entire body of Jtepubll
cans were corrupted by immense sums of
money brought by Tweed from New
York, for which Identical money nn
action had been commenced against
him!"
bTARTLINel ITEMS. SOUIU of Ollf
taxation Items are startling. Fur In
stance, tho taxes collected for tho year
1871, from whiskey and tobacco .amount
cd to $SG,000,0(IO. In 16G0, beforo tho
war, under n Democratic Admlnlstia
tlon, this would havo paid tlio whulo
expenses of tho Government. V hat a
beautiful llttlo legacy, In tho way of
debt, will not Grant leave us cs eclally
if ho should succeed In a ro election
A London dispatch says : The condi
tion of tho I'rlnco of Wales Is no better,
Apprehensions of an uufavoreblo turn
aro expressed without dlsgui-e, as it Is
remembered that Princo Albert died of
a similar complaint after n sudden nt-
taclc and brief Illness. Rumors on
'Chango nro that tho casj is worso than
tho published bulletins represent,
Minister Suiiknck Is going to ro
sign. Ho can't llvo on seventeen thoiti

The passes of tho Vosges nro to bo

ground.
It is said that Orant wants ton thou
