"DRAW OUT OF THAT CROWD."
The lion. Charles Francis Adams sailed
for Europe on Wednesday last. Before
he left a '•liberal" Republican interested
in the Cincinnati Convention, and desiring
that Mr. Adams should become its candi
date, wrote to him requesting his views of
the movement which it represents, and
suggested that there be some one in attend
ance who could speak for him. To this
letter there was received the following re
ply, with no restrictions as to its publicity :
" 'BOSTON, April 18, 1872
"'MY DEAR Mn. WELT,. : I have received
your letter and will answer it frankly. Ido eat
want the nomination, and could only be induced to
consider it by the circumstances under which it
might possibly be made. If the call upon me were
an aucquivocal one, based upon confidence in my
character earned iu public !de, and a belief that I
would carry out in practice the principles which
professed, then, ind,ed, would come a test of ni;t
courrige in the emergency.
•••Rit it I am to be otgotiatad for, and have on
suralieve given that late hottest. you will be s“
kin .I AS to draw out of that cr..wl. With regard
to what I understand to be the declaration of prin
ciples which has been um-de. it would be ridieu
loos in inc to stand haggling over them. IVith
the ai gle exception of ambiguity. I see nothing
which any hottest Republican or Democrat would
pot accept, Indeed, 1 should wonder at any one
who denied them. The difficulty is not in pro
fessions. It lies everywhere only in the manner in
which they are carried into practice,
" .1f I hate succeeded in making myself under
stood you will preceive that I eon give no authori
ty to any one to act or sp , ok for me in the pre
noises. I never had a moment's belief that when
it came to the point any one, so entirely isolated
from any political associations of any kind, could
he made acceptable as a canddiate toe public of
fice.
"'Bat I am so unlucky as to value that inde
pendence more highly than the elevation which is
bought by a sacrifice of it. This is not inconsist
ent with a sense of grateful recognition of the very
Battering estimates made of any services in many
and high quartore ; but I cannot consent to ped
dle with them for power. If the good people who
meet at Cineinnati really believe that they need
an anomalous being as /am,(which 'do not,) they
must express it in a manner to convinpe sue of it,
or all their labor wiU be thrown away,
" am, with great respect, yours, &c.,
" •Cummus FRA , CiS ADAMS,
"'David A. Welles, Eq., Norwich, Conn ' "
The above is one of the most destructive
bombshells that has yet been thrown into
the "liberal" camp, or "crowd" as Mr.
Adams has it. The "liberal" soreheads
have boasted that their decl iration of
principles was broad enough for all who
wished to get upon it, and so Mr. Adams
sees it, and sarcastically says : '•With the
single exception of ambiguity, I see noth
ing which any honest Republican or Dem
ocrat would not accept," fur the simple
reason that the "ambiguity" is so carefully
used as to make the platform mean free
trade, revenue reform or protection, or
anything else. Read fur example the
Pennsylvania call of delegates for Cincin
nati. "Draw out of that crowd."
Set" That "thank the Lord we are not
as other men are" sheet, the Bedford in
quirer, undertakes to charge those who
have objected to the conduct of the "ring"
in nominating the State ticket with sinis
ter motives. It is our fortune to be
intimately acquainted with the nickel-penny
individual who controls its editorial col
umns, and we have no hesitation in saying,
that in all our acquaintance, we do not
know an individual with whom a live cent
piece will go further than with this same
self-righteous editor. The love of money
is as distinctly impressed upon his face as
it was upon the face of Judas Iscariot, and
it is extremely doubtful whether be would
not do as vile an act for less money.
WI- "I will go to Cincinnati and burn
the bridges behind me." tragically ex
claimed Senator 3l'Clure to a Tribune
correspondent a few days since. "That's
just the way," says the Scranton Republi
can, "and at the next session of the Legis
lature he will ask for an appropriation to
pay for those bridges. The gallant. Colonel
learned the trick of 'burning bridges be
hind him" in 1864, when the rebel General
M'Causland approached Chambersburg."
This is a little hard on the hero of Ruth
erford's lane.
The Somerset Herald, after stating
that its chief editor was a candidate before
the recent State Convention for Auditor
General, concludes with the following
manly utterance :
_ .
"Well—he wasn't nominated, but General Allen
was. It would be sheer affectation in him to as
sert that he did not wish it otherwise, but hie duty
to himself, to the nominee, and to bin party, impel
him not only to acquiesce in the result, but to urge
all hie friends to work heartily for the success of
the Republican State ticket from now until it is
elected in October."
i He that would knowingly pay one
party as much for one thousand circulars, to
advertise his wares, as he would have to
pay another party fcit two thousand, would
ba considered a very stupid fellow amongst
business men, and yet he would only be in
the same category with the man who will
advertise in a newspaper with half the cir
culation, for the same money he would
ply one with double the circulation. tf
THE CINCINNATI CONVENTION
When Cardinal Wolsey felt that sting
of disappointment which resulted from his
own deeds, he remorsefully exclaimed.
"Fling away ambition—
By that ein fell the angele."
His own experience truly enabled him to
advise against the inordinate desire for
personal aggrandizement which is a char
acteristic of selfishness,.and which is ready
to sacrifice country and probity to itself-
Wherever a man of this nature is found,
his motto is "rule or ruin ;" and if his or
ganization is treacherous and ignoble he
will inevitably be an inherent conspirator
and an unsafe coadjutor. It is impossible
that men of this disposition should long
remain in any associati•,n or party whose
principles are placed before persons, and
where the good of the country is the great
law which animates and conducts it. As
the Rev. Dr. South said, "Sinners in heav
en would feel like hogs in a parlor ;" so
such schemers would never be naturalized
in the Republican party, but would con
stitute themselves "foreigners by profes
sion."
The Republicans have for twelve years
been pursuing a course calculated to exas
perate men of this complexion, and finally
to drive them to desperation. Eminent
merit has been made the requisite for lion
or and trust, as shown in the elevation of
Lincoln and Grant to the Presidency.—
Love of country shone forth when traitors
would have divided this Union; love of
liberty when slavery was abolished; love
of equal rights when suffrage was bestow
ed irrespective of color; love of the work
ingmen in acts fur education, agriculture,
commerce, homesteads, hours of labor,
peace. security, and good government;
love of justice in punishing fraud and dis
honesty ; love of national comity, in set
tling disputes with foreign nations without
bloodshed and by appealing to reason ;
love of iietegrity in paying the national
indebtedness with a promptitule such as
the world has never before witnessed; love of
c urage and patriotism, in the pensions to
our surviving soldiers, and the honors and
gratitude extended to those who are no
more.
A party like this, aevoted to public in
terests, ..reat measures and permanent
good, would not, and could not be one to
which selfish schemers and machivellian
aspirants would feel attachment. The
moment their individual greed was disap
pointed they would cabal, and plot, and
finally recede, if they could not rule. This
explains the defection of Schurz, Trum
bull, Tipton, and their equally sore-headed
compeers. President Grant has made them
"raormers," as S:r Robert Walpole said
he used to make self styled pitriots, by
denying their nnreas..nable requests, and
by relusing tr give offices either to un
worthy or incompetent men. Then the
conspirators start up in the shape of a pre
;ended reformer, as Satan asumed his own
shape and likeness when touched by the
spear of Ithuriel. Aspirants who are
"Full of distemper'd, discontented thoughts,
Vain hopes, vain aims, inordinate desires,
Blown uj with high conceits, engendering pride,"
like their rebel predecessors, the Southern
slave-mongers, find secession to be their fit
ting action.
Well, let them go. No Republican will
injure their skirts by endeavoring to hold
them back. On the contrary the disposi
tion will be to expedite their retrocession,
and to spud the parting guests, to whom
it may be said, "stand not upon the order
of your going. but go at once." We wish
the party who gets them joy of their ac
quisition. The Republicans pan only re
gard the departure, in the words of the
old proverb, as "good riddance to bad rub
bish." If. however, we cast an eye on
the constituents which will make up the
Cincinnati Convention, we shall be re
minded of the pictures we see in the illus
trated bibles representing the animals on
their way to Noah's Ark—lion and lamb,
fox and goose, dog and hare, ass and mon
key, cat and mouse, peacock and skunk,
and all the compliment of hyenas, wolves,
bears, and other hungry and carnivorous
animals. Who is to play Van Amburgh
and Barman in this able Iliblage, time will
determine. But it will be curious to see
Protectionist Greeley cheek by jowl with
Free Trade Delmar, of former statistical
eminence and fame, and to behold every
where couples equally ill-assorted, and
more ring-streaked, and speckled, and spot
ted, than the flocks which were raised by
Jacob.
The Republicans are accused by their
adversaries of being a party which is gov
erned by office-holders, an accusation of
which it is difficult to say whether it is
most false or most ridiculous. But if we
cast an eye on the Cincinnati delegates. so
far as known, we shall find them in an
extraordinary proportion, to be composed
of soreheaded office-holders, disappointed
and venomous office•seekers whom Presi
dent Grant was unwilling to take up even
with a pair of tongs, and ex-officeholders
who are by no means satisfied with the
one terns principle, but who would hold
on until the crack of doom, and like Oliver
are clamorously calling for "more." This is
the milk in the cocoa nut; this is the
cause of their abiding grief and execration.
They are men who are laid on the shelf—
who have been weighed in the balance and
found wanting—who have been ousted
from official station, or not selected for it,
and hence their virtuous indignation and
patriotic criticisifi. To reinstate them
selves no conglomeration is too foul, no
conspiracy too dark, no affiliation too
unnatural. Railing at office holders, they
are spiteful because dispossessed of office ;
pretending to disapprove of corruption
they are striking hands with plunderers;
claiming excessive patriotism, they hold out
their hands to unrepentent rebels; and
boasting of Republican ism par excellence,
they seek to coalese with Democrats who
can no more change their views than the
leopard his spots.
There is no one principle of national
importance on which the delegates to the
Cincinnati Convention can unite. If now
and then something of public utility has
been mentioned it will be seen that the
Republicans have stolen their thunder.—
They have left these reformers no chance
for reform. Such has been the wise fore
cast of President Grant and his Cabinet,
and his supporters, that provision is made
for all the great interests of the country.
Justice, economy, equal rights, reduction
of taxation, relief to the burdens of labor,
education, commerce, agriculture, progress
and liberty—all these are considered—,ll
these are advocated—all these are the aim
end object of the Republican party. This
party is expansive and far-seeing, and is
ever advancing to new issues and measures
calculated to benefit the workingmen and
to be of service to the country at large.—
It could not be superceded by the odds
and ends of Cincinnati, without evil and
disaster to the whole nation. Well do the
people know it; well are they satisfied
with the true, firm, discreet, and patriotic
man whom they have selected for their
executive ruler. From every side come
the tokens of approval, and while all Re
publicans should work, while all should
unceasingly remember that "eternal vigi
lance is the price of liberty," yet none
need be disheartened, or fear any harm
from the secession of Carl Schurz and his
compeers. An open enemy is better than
a treacherous friend, and the parting with
such men is surely for our good
la_ The following sensible bill has been
introduced into the Lower House of Con
gress, by our Representative, which we
hope will become a law :
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Repre
sentatires of the United States of America in Con
gress assembled, That no person who shall hereafter
unsuccessfully contest the election of a Senator or

United States shall receive any allowance whatever,
as costs, counsel fees, or expenses.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
Ho, For Cincinnati ! Congress— Consti
tutional Question—. Capt. Hall's Expe
dition— Service—The Investiga
tions—The New Comptroller.
WASHMTON, D. C., April 29, 1972.
TUE PILGIIIMAGE.
Cincinnati, just now, seems to be the
political Mecca towards which every sore
head politician is wending his way. Re
duced rate tares and free lunch at the
terminus, will be mighty inducements to
the crowd of hungry pilgrims who have
already packed their carpet bags fir this
attractive centre of porkdom. Horace
Greeley .proclaims this movement as the
uprising of the people and the non-office
holders' council. Just so. But how many
of these delegates expect to be left out in
the cold, if this movement should be suc
cessful ? Not one ! From Trumbull,
Schurz and Greeley, all the way down to
the one.horse politician who will go on a
free pass and dine on the ••liberal's" crack
ers and cheese, every. delegate expects
office. Some of these disinterested gentle
men have already picked out the post
offices which they will take, just to help
along "reform." They don't want offices:
but for the good of the Republic they will
accept them. Trumbull has already taken
the dimensions of the White House, and
Horace has become so familiar with the
post office that he will experience no diffi
culty in finding the seat vacated by Cren
well. Schurz has already settled a few
fat offices, in prospective, on his distant
relations, and has lately taken to smoking
good segars en the strength of his future
Influence. These gentlemen are a fair
sample of the entire "crowd," as Charles
Francis Adams designates them, of disin
terested "reformers." If the hand of des
tiny could write over Cincinnati, "Who
enters here leaves all hope of office be
hind," not one of these "reformers" would
ever enter Porkopolis. They want office.
They must have office. They will perish
without office. They oink of office by
day; they dream of it by night; and un
less they institute a "reform" that shall
give them office they are done for corn
pletely.
Your correspondent has met a number
of these "liberal" pilgrims, and he has
been astonished at the burden of grief
which sits astraddle their shoulders. One
poor fellow applied for the humble position
of justice of the peace. The President
could have given it to him, but Le did not;
so he has laid in a half-fare ticket to Cin
cinnati. If he had got the office Grant
would have been a model President; but
as he did not get it, why of course, Grant
is corrupt, and the country demands a
change. Another poor fellow who turned
prematurely gray over his sorrow, related
a more pitiful tale than our would-be Jus,
Lice. He only wanted a consulship to
Japan. He was endorsed by his post
master and six of his brothers already in
offlee. But the President appointed some
body else; and thus through this second
act of official corruption, he too is driven
to seek shelter under the wings of Horace,
at Cincinnati. Poor fellow ! To stagger
under such a load of disappointment, and
then think of reaching Cincinnati, seemed
almost beyond human endurance. Another
poor fellow had become slightly mixed
while an office-holder. He had a very
difficult berth—settled whisky accounts fur
the Internal Revenue Office; and just be
cause the whisky balance grew too much
for him, and settle him, before he could
settle the account on which he was en.
gaged, they dispensed with his services.
So he too has set his face toward Cincin
nati. He has been wronged—is a free
trader on whisky, and never did believe in
any protective tariff that would prevent a
man from getting drunk when he feels
like it. If Horace meets this man at the
convention he must swallow free trade, or
belt the ticket.
There will be a big "crowd" of these
suffering "reformers" at Cincinnati. They
want "reform," and with an office, fat or
lean, fur themselves, they will do their best
to bring about a "reform."
We should like to see the first disinter
ested "liberalite." Trumbull has his trou
bles : Somebody's brother was better than
h:s, and got an office that runs in his
fiunily. Schulz had more cousins than the
law allows, and grow indignant that some
body's cousin should be pretlffred to his
own. Horace has been mad as a March
hare, and has done some tall swearing ever
since he fitiled to he made pistmaster.
And so it goes to the end of the list.
The fight is between the "outs," with no
body to back them except Tipton ; and
the 'ins" with the loyal millions at their
elbow. Ho, for Cincinnati ! All ye that
want office, ho'
CONGRESSIONAL.
There is a general and growing desire
in both branches of Congress to close the
session on the 29th of May. Many of the
members are anxious to return home and
make their arrangements for going into
the Presidential campaign. The tariff is
the principal business not disposed of, and
that is receiving attention.
A CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION.
On Wednesday the Senate Committee
on Privileges and Elections submitted a
report on the constitutional question raised.
by the House as to the right of the Senate
to substitute a bill for the general revision
of taxation for the House bill which sim
ply abolished the duties on tea and coffee,
tikes the ground that the House bill abol
ishing these duties was not a bill for rais
ing the revenue within the meaning of the
constitution ; and therefore, while the
Senate might have amended it so as to
abolish duties altogether upon other arti
cles, the Senate had no right to engraft
upon it, as it did in substance, an amend
went providing that revenue should be
collected upon other articles. The com
mittee then argue that the Senate has the
right under this clause of the constitution
to alter or amend a general bill for raising
the revenue. The report concludes with
a resolution directing the secretary of the
Senate to deliver a copy of the report to
the House.
INDIAN TERRITORY.
Troops have been placed at the disposal
of Secretary Delano, who telegraphed from
Muskogee, Indian Territory, in regard to
the troubles which had occurred at Fort
Gibson. The order to remove the squat
ters from the Territory has been renewed
and is now being executed.
CAPT. HALL'S EXPEDITION IN TROUBLE.
A report has reached Washington, from
Newfoundland, that the steamship PeZan's,
with Captain Hall's Polar Expedition, has
put back to Greenland in consequence of
springing a leak, caused by a collision with
an iceberg. It required the cxertims of
the crew, officers, and all of the scientific
party to keep the vessel afloat. The d:s
ast,a• occurred in the middle of February.
THE NEW CIVIL SERVICE RULES.
Tits mutter is nearly settled at last, and
the new rules will go into op3ratien in all
the governme_lt deputments, throughout
the Union, in two or three weeks.
THE INVESTIGATIONS
are nearly all closed, and nondy has been
found guilty of dishonesty or neglect of
duty. We have had a winter of investi
gations, many of them on charges against
wovernment officials up to the President
himself: These men all come out or the
trial with their reputations for integrity
unsullied, and the Administration stands
higher, if possible, in the confidence of
the people, than before the charges were
preferred.
THE NEW COMPTROLLER.
John J. Knox, for very many years as
sistant controller, has been appointed by
the President and confirmed by the Senate
as assistant comptroller of the currency.
