We entirely ngrte with the Hnrrlsbtitg sPatrfetnml ether reputable Democratic newspapers of the Blate In their resent aent of the nllemptfl made In syme quitters te atlr up Btrlfe In the Demo cratic party by representing that lb Is pervaded by fuctlennl feeling at this tine when, ns n matter et diet, it was never freer from it. There nre two ohwacsef selt-Blyled Independent news papers diligently engaged in this task. The one belongs te n sensational order of journals which, when they have no news, are never at n less te manufacture It for the purpose of pointing a moral wlileh they may have some motive in Impress ing upon their readers. Some of these at present are be vindictive and unscru puleus lu their hostility te the state ad ministration that they never scruple te ascribe te It all sorts of factional designs and fictitious machinations te diserga.ii Ize the party which brought It into power, and without the confidence and united uppert of which It would be bereft of Us best elements et strength. The zeal of this class of journals has se far entrun their discretion that they have defeated their own purposes by forfeiting popular confidence In their geed judg ment and honesty. Mere dangerous and still nnre tin sirupulem Is another class of news .pipers, indepjndent "for revenue only " andmerrupt as they are Irrespeusi blewh'ch, professing te be friendly te the state administration, dauiage it mere by their friendship than they could by their hostility, and insidiously seek te injure It by misrepresenting the Democracy of the state en every possible occasion. It is net true, as this and ether superservicpable newsp iper lackeys have been freely assarting of lute, that there are factional disturbaucea in the Domecratlo party In this state arising out of the " selfish lutrlguing " of fleme of llspremlueut men ng.ilnst the state administration, ami th.it the failure of apportionment and the failure et the party te carry the late elections were due te any such causes, which are charged without a BCintllla of proof te sustain them. Upen the question of the necessity and right of an honest, just and true reapportionment the Democratic party was united ; in his call of an extra ses sion te secure It the governor received the hearty endorsement of his party ; as te the continuance of the Legislature in Bissien beyond the time when it was ap parent the Senate would uever consent ti an apportionment, and when the Heuse failed te enforce the attendance of its members there was au honest dif ference of opinion. The Democratic state con vmtien had ceunselled the rep resentatives of Its party te continue te insist upon a fair apportionment ; but waeu they failed iu their insisMince by i ef using te Keep a constitutional mijorltyef their fellows in attendance, taey laid themselves epe1, te reproach aul made It Impossible for their party te defend their action. The governor, him self, was of the opinion that the Legisla. turu had better, adjourn than suutlnue the farce of remaining in session when the majority et the Heuse neg'ected te empalthu attendance of its membeis Se, tei, with the preposition tli.tt the Democrats should have accepted the McCracken bill or some equally unfair measure rather than have apportionment fall. That would have been au ignemin. ieus Burrcnderaud an act of telf-stultifi. catien. The governor was in sympathy with Iho lepugnauce of his paity te any such submissive makeshift. Duilng the campaign the apportion ment issue was kept steadily te the front ; it was discussed by every Demo cratic speaker en the stump, and the most eloquent defendeis of the exi.ru session were pub lu the fore. T lere a3 harmony In the organization, generous co-operation en all hands, free confer ence with all element! and due regard for every Interest. Who says differently speaks ignorantly or mendaciously. Aud there will continue te be liatmeny in the Democratic orgauizitieu et tins state. Its rank and lile are sick of strife, aud its leaders, tee, whoever they are under steed te be. There must be freedom of opinion and toleration. Every man who litis the interests of lite patty at heart has a right te by heard and no one nor any small clique has a tight te nssiime dictatorship. There is no ecca Blen for Intrigue, there is no prelit iu ex cluslveness, there will be no following for arrogant assumption. Auy one who disturbs this harmony will be suppressed and any ene who works by secret plot or noisy wrangle te promote faotien will be tossed aside. Tiiu Democratic party in Pennsylvania proposes te have peace within Its ranks ; aud peace with honor, tee. The Queen has made Alfred Tenny son a baron, aud it is assumed that he will aocept the proffer, and that probably he wanted the honor. It is recalled that he once said mean things about titles and wrote thus about the nobility of goednuis exclusively : " llewe'er it l, it senilis te me. 'TIS only nellw te uu geed. Klmt neat is are mere than coronets. Ana sluiple lullti tlun Nomina bleed." It is net apparent te Berne et the crit ics of this transaction en this side of the water hew the authorship of the geed, bad and indifferent poetry ascribed te Tennyson, qualified him te sit among hereditary law makers et his native land ; nor what he lui3 written et late years te swell his fame and iucreasehls claims te the peerage. But a seat in the Heuse of Lords, like a tomb in West minster Abbey, lias se long been shorn of Its distinction well by what it holds as by what it does net.that the rauk just conferred upon Tennyson new scarcely adds te nor detracts from nu established fame. It is the Tennyson of poetry net of politics whom the world knows aud will keep in mind. Oaiil Sciiujiz's retirement from all business aud editorial connection with tha New Yerk ScenUvj Pest adds an other te the signal failures which this brilliant man has scored. The paper which he has jtut quit seems te have been everweighted with gurilus. Either Mr. Schurz, Mr. Herace While or 12. L.
