I [ ,
The falt that the - CECNtig6 Courie r,
which for the Past :eighteen months
has been an independentipaper, has
:throWn off the mask, and publishes a
double-leaded editorial embodying a
scathing -,_review of the Republican
party, and announces itself as hence
forth a represeUtative of the Opposi
tion, is the hipCrtant and distressing
anno:cmcement Made in the telegraphic
reports, To Our mind this is one of
the most proper and natural things
for . an Independent Journal to 'do,
vet a course which they seldom take,
as,the favorite plan seems to be, a
-1 der the cloak of neutrality orinde.
1 penderice, - to habitually ad persis
tently miSrepresent the !aims and ob.
sects of the Republican party, assail
and vilify its prominent men, and to
omit no .opportunity to damage and
break down the party which has pre
served the - integrity of -the Nation,
and accomplished all the ;refornis and
encouraged all the progresi the corn
try has made.
Independent! journaliim haS be
comei injt the synonym for the most
1 imbruiled license, for
, the exhibition
'of personal malignity ; for the gratifi
cation of the most selfish ambitions,'
1 while Clahning, to act frOm,disinter
ested and upright motives. The
_ln-.
dependent journalist stigmatizes the
partizan journal as wearing the . collar
• of party, as being, the slave of organ
! ization, Mid i incapable of fairness of
expression or- liberality of views.
! The Most prominent Independent
papers in the country are the. New
York - Tribune and the ;Philadelphia
Times. Perhaps it is unkind to judge
the rest by these two illustrioui ex,
amples, but they served to illustrate
the'morala andimotives.7hich actuate
! these pretentions• conservators of the
pubic interest ' . the New YOrk Tr&
bunt is said to be largely controlled

adventurer, whpse syinpathies are all
; in cOmmonlWith the Democracy: We
mayas wpll,e.onfess that the Tribune
1 has ,Wrouglit a u immense amount of
harm to the Republican party. The
latoand lamented HORACE GREELEY
' had made for Vie Tribune a wide
• reputation as in able and valuable
paper, and as a
.trite and reliable ex
ponent of free Principles. It , has a
1 circulation for its weekly edition
which goes into every neighborhood
;
in the country. -It is taken and read
largely by Re publicans, because it

party. It shoals neither truthfulness
; nor candor in I criticising the mess;
ures and men Of thelltepublican par
; ty, and it is impossible for it ~.to say
a kind word of ;either: : The Tii6itne
working for the success of the
•
Democratic party, and would throw',
• ;
off its mask of ;pretended independ
ence, if it did not serve better to ac
compliSh its deSires.
The Philadelphia Times is another
sample - of Independent journaliam.
Its owners are Democratsits editor
Ccil. l A. K. MbOLuilz; not unknown
in•the politics of the State. We will
not criticise 'the editor, because his
1 career is part of the legislative and
lipolitical history of the Common
' wealth. The Timers has I'm apparent
Mission except to drag down the Re
publican party to its own level, and
piOmote the suceetis of .the Democra3-...
It is notorious, that as these two
. papers we have mentioned are inimi
cal to the Repriblican party, and are
its constant and unfair assailants, so
with all . the papers that profess to
be above party. , It is also a fact that
the conductors of these papers have
the same political antecedents,. the
same personal grievances to redress,
the same . disappointed ambitions, the",
-same feelings:of tmappreciated worth 1
and importance. The Republican
party or the National Administration
have failed to set a proper value, upon
their services, and, soured and vindie- 1-
*ye, they seek to redress their per- I
soal grievance; by , breaking down
;
the Republican! party. It may be 1
unmanly to
! publish a partizan jour
nal, but it is a thousand times more
respectable and honorable than to
conduct a journal which is tint the 1
machine for the gratifieatOn of per:
sonal spleen, which has no ambition
except to tear dOwn, ino higher mo-.
tires than to alandexl. and misrepre- ,
sent. The sensational' (or i - ndepen&
ent) journalism of the present day is
a disgrace to the profession, and will
pass away like other pestiferous mor- I '
al evitiwhich have affected the coun- '
try., It has stolen a respectable ap- - ; '
pellation to cover the most unworthy I '
and base conduct, and to cloak the I
most slavish dependence, and utter I '
the foulest libehi. . .
IF OUR free schools are to be main
tained- against the. assaults of the
Romish hierarchY,the Democratic-par=
ty_must not be allowed to gain ascen- .
dewy in this country. A Democratic .
victory means the establishment of
sectarian and the overthrOw of our
free schools. •

They acknowledge that, at least, we

actual damage to the . state and coon
try.,
DEMOCRACY and Darkness have
ways been intimately 'associated, and
especially in Virginia. HENRY A:
WISE once thanked God that no .newsi
paper ;.was printed in the district
which he represented. The same
tellectual . murkiness which was then
the boast of. its Congressman would
seem to retain its hold on portions of
the Old Dominion at least. For the
Valley Virginian , of a late date raises
this note of alarm concerning; the
clangers now threatening the public
Schools of that State. It says: "It
is very evident, from indications given
out :Almost daily in the press and on
the ''streets, that there is to be a de
termined effort to first impair and
then. crush the public schools in Vir
ginin. Those who are the most pro
nouCtsk in their oppsition to this be
nefleant system are weltaware that to
present the question tlirectly before.
the people the verdiet'would he un
mistakable, and the popular_ voice
would so : sternly rebuke the enmies
of the schools that they would not
again trust themselves before such a
tribtinal. The programme will be to
quietly return to the. Legislature men
in Sympathy with the purposes of
tho4e who desire to destroy the pub
spect, they will fitshion the legisla
tion: of the State 'so as to cripple the
operation, of the, schools, render them
inaoeqUate to the demands of the
people, and thus lay. the foundation
for z direct assult tipon them through
the disappointment of the friends. of
the system in the rural districts."
If these fears of the Valley Virgin
ian are realized the Mother'of Presi
dentS may not soon become. what she ,
should be, the leading State of the
South. But her " Democracy" will
be made— like her blight—eternal..
Is itnot-the best possible evidence
of the deep affection of the Ameri
cans: for popular education that its
foes . 4are not openly assail it? And
does not this patent fact bear heavi
ly on the cowards, in and out of tour
party, who shrink from an open and
manly advocacy and defense of that
institution which holds its place near
est the heart of every honest lover of .
his Country?
A :WASITINOTON dispatch says J.

and his unswerving integrity, entt

hardly know where the man could
be found to fill the chief clerkship
as acceptably as he has done.
` EVERY earnest Republican should
see to it that the people in his neigh

the principles of the party, and, the
contrast between Republicanism and
Denicicracy. Education is all that is
necessary to continue in the ascend

Tremont station four miles above

were throVin over—the forward one
completely, and everything in their .
was thrown into the greatest confuii
ion; the seats being all wrenched
from their places and falling in a
miscellaneous mass with the paisen

No persons were seriously injured,
although a good many passengers re ,
ceived bruises. and slight cuts. Via

Speaker Blaine, who was in the first
car, was thrown violently forward
and a seat or sofa falling upon him

ILEMIIfG TEE RAILROAD WAIL
NEW MILK 'June 11.—An impor
tant conference of railroad magnates
was held at the Fifth-avenue Hotel
to-night Colonel Thomas A. :,cott,
President ; Mr. Green, assistant prey ,
ident, and A. J. Cassatt, second vice
president of the Pennsylvania Cen
tral; and John King, Jr., ACC Presi
dent of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road, were present. The proceedings
were secret, but Mr. King states that
the points of difference, actual and
supposed to exist; between these com
panies were discussed. The meeting
was harmonious, and the basis for a
permanent arrangment between the
companies will .be submitted to the
respective board of directors within
the next ten days. Mr. King stated
that he was under' the impression that
Mr. Scott, immediately after the Egli
ferenee, left for' the purpose of calling
upon Commodore Vanderbilt and
Receiver Jewett, for the purpose of
apprising them of the result of the
consultation. This, however, he was
not sure of, and he could note s see how
it would in any *ay effect the steps
first taken. He could not explain or
understand the absence of the repre
setatives of. two of the trunk rail
roads, nor did be care much. The
probable basis of the arrangement
will be the giving back by the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company to the
Baltimore and Ohio Company the
terminal and road facilities enjoyed
prior to the railroad war, and the
re-establishment .of summer-freight
tariffs, such as prevailed last year,
and it is also probable that passenger
.rates will be fixed on the Saratoga
basis. „

IiEtTERS PBOM OTIB COBBESPOITDEITTS
SHOULD TEBBE BE A TEMPERANCE PARTY
,
Since slavery has ceased to exist there
can be no doubt that Intemperance is by
far the greateit evil existing in ourland:
Some .have believed that intemperance
wawa greater evil than slavery, because it
is confined to no particular section of the
country and to no particular 'race of men,
but destroys its victims; black and white,
North and South, East and, West. It is
not strange that some active and zealot s
temperance men, in view of the repeal of
the Local-Option law and the seeming re:
'action in public sentiment, should cow
to the erroneous conclusion that
.their
labors in the past have not been properly
directed, and that in order to secure legis
lation which they deem essential to sup
press intemperance' there - must be h third
party organized on strict'temperanco prin
ciples, with but the single idea of prohi
bition. There is no use in trying to de
ter these men from their purpose' by ridi
cule, or by holding them up before the
'public as office-seekers, . which they prob
ably are not; this would but stimulate
them to' renewed activity. There is but
one thing that,ffill be likely to deter these
men from organizing a Temperance par
ty, and that is, to convince them that by
so doing they will injure the cause they
desire to advance, and put farther Off into
the future the final triumph of the Tem-
Per.mce cause. We have not the vanity
to suppose that we, can do this better than
others, or that we are able to bring for-
Ward, arguments which have not already
been presented. .
We have no right to waste time, money
or votes in any undertaking that has not
a reasonable prospect of success. A Tem
perance Party is not a new 'thing.. The
experiment has been tried for a long time
in Mostorthe .New, „England and some of the !
Western States, and so far from exhibiting
the elements of vitality by a vigorous mid
steady growth at the polls, it has barely
maintained an existence in some States,
without any increase ; has fallen 'off, or
entirely disappeared in others. This fact
does not prove the apathy of temperance
men to the subject of prohibition, or that
they underrate the "moral suasion of the
ballot-box," but' it does prove that the
great body OP temperance voters 'do not
see any need - Of a third party to ebtain
tenqierance legishition •or to preserve it
on the statute books after it is obtained.
They well know that all the prohibitory
and local-option laws which have ever
been enacted in any of the States,- have
been enacted when the Republican party
was in power and had control of both
branches of the legislature, and that none
of these laws have ever been repealed un
til after. the Democratic party had obtain
ed the control Of One or both branches . of
the legishiture, and were able to point to
the returns of-the last election for proof
that_ the; roahuits.!_of _the _people_in the
repeal. If this is true, and we do net be
lieve it will be. disputed, then the plain
dictates of common-sense declare that, in
stead of weakening the Republican party
by withdrawing a part of its temperance
voters, we should endeavor to strengthen
it with all our might, and redouble our
prayers for its prosperity. 1
What is chiefly needed at the 'present
time is, nut more parties, but store union
in the Republican party. It was owing to
our divisions last fall, and the loss of faith
and enthusiasmhich _divisions always
produce, that caused a Democratic victory
and the repeal of the Local-Option law.
This misfortune can never be-remedied by
producing more divisions and more de
spondency. Prohibition cnii only be se
cured and maintained by- a more earnest
preaching of the Gospel of Temperance
and a more hearty, support by temperance
1 men of the the only political party that ever
did anything to promote their cause or
the - cause of human freedom. A good
man will not kick-ahorse that has served
him- well for many Years, and only failed
to' draw a heavy load from lack of strength.
None but crazy sailors ever deserted a
1 good ship because it conld not sail against
a head wind, or jumped overboard because
it had been driven by adveri;e storms!and
! currents, from its course. Temperance
Ifriends, ''before takin,g the important step
of forming a third party, yoh would do well
I to ask yourselv's the following questions:
i Could a third party enact laws before it
had obtained control of the State govern-,
'tient, or maintain! them on the statute
book after it had ;lost that condo!? In
this respect, how much better would it be
than the Republican party? .
I Judging the future by the past and the
1* success of the movement by the _trial it
1- has had in other States, .how many years
would 'it be likely to take before you
could seize the reins of government? .
' Having separated from your former
friends and made war on the Republican
party, you surely could not expect it to
aid you in your °flints to destroy it. The
law of self-defence.would compel it to re
, pel your attacks,:
,and its papers refuse to
print your temperance articles. Have you
counted: the Cost? To have any chance of
j succeeding with a third party iewould be
I necessary to suppoit a central organ and
a newspaper in each 'ceunty to advocate
; yont movement, besides sending out lee
' tunms and printing and distributing
.doctimerits without, number. • 'You are
aware that this would . require a good deal
of money from 'somebody. If you have
been liberal in the pdst you could -be lavish
in the future. If you have been generous
I in the devotion Of much - of your time to
i the cause heretofore, you might devote
the whole of it• to the new movement
without producing results to meet yonr
1 expectations. • • ' • : '. : • -
* Yon - refer us to the history of the! Abe- I
litionists in forming the - Liberal p i ety, as
an. example, of what a third party'didfor, 1
I freedom in the past; and as an illustration
of what a third party can do for temper
; ance in the future. ' There is no analogy
between the two atsett. The two great
parties of that day 'were wedded to slave
ry and 'bound handand - foot to the shive
power. Their platfOrms defended slavery
as constitutional and tight, and denouneed
anti-slavery men as ("incendiaries" and
disturbers of the - peace.. The party leaders
ofboth
parties were the willing champi
ons of the - institution; even ministers and
churches, as a rule; were either silent Or
tried, to justify' the ' abomination . from
Scripture. Behevhig "that slavery was
the sum of all villainies, " mobbed, penis-.
exited,. defamed, ridiculed and disowned
1 by both great parties, what else could the
Abolitionists consistently do but organize
a party of their own ? ' .
You blame Gov.' IlartrAlift ' for signing
the repeal of the Local-Option.law. There.
are three cases,, and Only three, in which .
