A MIRACULOUS CONVERSION
•
The Democratic party is shedding its
grub form, and begins to flit around a
prettily Parti-colored moth. 'The trans
formation has beetkat last fairly inaugural
ed in Chid and Virginia,un another week
will witness its success in our own State.
Democracy forsweass its traditional hate
to the negro, and opens wide its no.longer
reluctant arme e, to receive a :lace which it
has always reviled to the fullest com
munion of political rights. The "dead
issues" of the late civil war, to which the
opposition have so long clang, and which
have weighed them down, down beyond
the possibility but not the hope of resur
-1 rection; are hereafter to be abandoned,
the "white man's party" is scattered to
the four winds t never again to be t allied
under that standard of defeat, the pledges,
resolutions and protests of ten years of
disaster are recanted and swallowed with
an eager galp, and the Democ
racy of '69' plant themselves squarely
upon the platforin of - the equality of all
men under the law. The atone which
the builders rejected, at New York be
comes at last the head of the corner. New
principles, new measures, new men and
new hopes are henceforth the guiding
stars of Wei political future. Through
many arid disastrous tribulations, the
Bourbons of the opp mition have come to a
wiser policy at last: - This change of base
wis attempted last year, in the Conven
tion which ultimately nominated Say
nous and B ',mu; defeated then,its friendi
were strengthened by theirEfall, and the
chastened and repentant Democracy of
'69 every Where bow submissively, and
kiss the rod which has humUlated them..
Henceforth, -the hopes of the "white
:man's party" are reposed in the colored
Democracy of the South, and in the
broadest declarations of personal freedom
and political liberty, wiltout regard to
race or color.
Abandoning the old issues, the old
leaders are thrust to the wall. The Ran-,
nays, Cusses, ifelandightuns, Packers,
the old fogies of the party who are found
• to be-immrably inoculated with all its
ancient proidiees, as they are hopeless

but less honest. Let the discarded vet

.plation of the defeats still more disas
trous which neither_ a change of the
party base nor of it; leaders can avert!
The Ohio Democracy, in accepting the
new dispensation, do nothing by halves.

The honest Ohio Democracy looked for.
their customary denunciations of negro
equality; see what they get instead of it!
They asked for the ;wholesome political
bread on which they' have habitually di
eted for years, and the Convention in,
sults them with the hardest of stones.
The experiment is a bold one, and we
doubt if its results will pay expenses. But
there it is! The Ohio Democracy has
Made a square turn at the shortest of cor
ners, and pledges itself to universal
equality and brotherhood, palpably em
bracing therein thei . reviled African race.
So far, the politicians win.
The Pennsylvania DeMocracy, meeting
in Convention next week, are expected
to go
.and do . likewise. They will Wive
no use for old principles or old candidates.
Messrs. Cass, Packer and McCandless
may hang up their fiddles. Gen. HAN
COCK it the coming man of the party.
11 the old•tlme talk of a "white man's
:overnment" will "dry up," and the pub
lic utterances of the party, for the cam
paign of '69, are to be in the most catho-
lie spirit or petiee, good will, equality
and fraternity for all men, irrespective of
ace or color, who will unite "in rescuing
the government from unworthy hands."
We are on the eve - of the Democratic
millenium, and all good. Pennsylvania
Democrats are affectionately admonished
to emulate the wise forecast of their Ohio
brethren, and prepare themselves for the
change which Welcomes to Democracy
"a man *nd a brother."
As little as we respect the sincerity of
theDemocratie motives, in this apparent
conversion from au odious faith in pro
scriptici to the broad and generous doe-,
trkne of human equality, we must gladly
recognize it as a mark of national pro
gress onward and upward. When even
Democracy if fain to subscribe at last,
with whatever reservations, to the only
true reading of American liberty, we must
regard it as a triumph, as substantial as It
le final, for the great principle which un
derlies all the institutions of the Republic.
Welcome, then, to the reconstructed
Democracy upon the platform of the Con
stitution as it is! For the present, they
must be content to find 'virtue Its own re
ward, and await, on back seats, the pro
motion which can only come when their
faith shall be proved by works.
Good bye! "white man's government!"
AFUSTOCRATIC pEIISOCRACY.
Observation and experience, running
thtough the life-time of a generation of
men, hive sonfirmed us in the conviction
that the Dimocratie leaders of the. United
States, are without any just conception of
the equality - and inalienability of hu
man rights, but are'at, bottom thoroughly
in favor of an aristocratic, if not amon
archleal, form of government—, Here was
our neighbor, the Poal, the other day, ar
guing strenuously from certain mental,
1 physical and social inequalities, that Just
:the same diversities must exist as to Po
litical rights, and, - consequently,- that
'either Tuouee JEFFERSON, in tram
' ing the Deciaratidn of Independence,
and the Continental Congress, in adopting
and proclaiming it, have been strangely
misunderstood, or else had no definite
'and correct idea of what they weie assert
hig.t. Take a sample of Its logic, thus:
_ ' , Races of men are not born equal; in
dividuals ofthe same race are not born
equal; children of the; same family are
not born equal; nor do the men who pro
pagate the doctrine of equality. believe
in it. Greeley does not believe his boot,-
black was born his equal; nor does Sum
nee believe Andy Johnson, or any other
man, was born his equal; it is all the un
meaning prattle of demagogues, to play
upon kind feelings and carry out -a vile
scheme for partisan success." • '
Now, it must be admitted that in
weight To TM71113 is not equal to Dais
TEL Lelinsmr; that in strength &imam
was decidedly superior to ordinary men;
that in learning and understanding ford
Bacon has no equal among the Demo
cratic editors of this country; and that in
- social rank a boot-black ie not on a level
with a Prince of the royal blood: All
this signifies nothing. Some small men,
for all the practical purposes of life, have
'indubitable advantages over thee balky
'Competitors.. :We have - encountered be

to its natural and nendelogOnonilualdn,
would entirety
all Political
rights and powers . in the hands of com
paratively few individuals. It would be
gin by excluding from'all direct partici
pation in public concerns, those classes
which are in certain particulars con
fessedly at the low,er end of the physical,
mental and social seal es, and so least able
to•assert their rights and maintain them.
Having done that, the end would not be
reached„but only a beginning made. An
irresistible impulse would carry it on to
excind the classes next above. .Eventu
ally, this process would leave only the
upper •circle, and: this would be narrowed
down and. weeded out, until it should
constitute an aristocracy a monarchy, or
an autocracy, according as sh?uld
be desired.
- "Races of men are
.not beim eqinil,"
quoth the •Pod. Well, the English have
said so these three hundred yearsj tind
pointed to the Irish 'as the readiest Icon
' firmation of the averment Do the Irish
believe this dogma, as applied to them
selves, because the English maintain, it?
They will doubtless confess that the Eng.
lish haYe most money and power. , All
history bears consentient testimony to
that effect, but does this possession of
more cash and force qualify and abate the
pretensions of the Irish to equal political
rights with their English neighbors? This
is a plain quesfion,nd there is no need
of circumlocutin N answering it. If
what our neighbor nowNikvers 'is true, in
any legitimate sense, Ike Irish have been
falsely giumliling for tlifeeclies about
tyrannies that were 'not \ t,,aniiles, but
only wholesome exercises oPauthority by
a superior race, over an inferiiir one, in.
virtue of that headship which larger nat
ural endowments, of one sort, or another,
communicates and sanctifies.
This aristocratic Democracy is not at
all to our liking. It is spurious. not sim
ply in outlying and immaterial pectiliari
ties, but in all that is central, primary,
intrinsic and vital. It is rotten at the
heart, and no medication can restore it to
heilth, or inspire farther confidence in it.
Some races of men are' born superior
to others in certain particulars. This is
demonstrated in the differing degrees of
civilization to which they have attained.
On one hand is a race that has never
emerged from a. condition of barbarism,
or something akin thereto. Ages have
come and gone; cycle after cycle has
revolved; and it still hugs its degradation,
making no efforts to escape into the upper
and purer atmosphere of enlightenment.
On the other hand is a race that took, in
the earliest dawn of time, instinctively to
scientific development, and has steadily.
pursued it, though with the varying suc
cess which attends all great anff . protracted
enterprises. Between these two anti
podal races are ranged all the rest, in the
positions assigned them by their respec.
live elective affinities. •
Has the superior rice the right to ex
ploit the others? to put the sane in
terrogation in anotier form—has an in_
ferior race no righti .except such as its
superior may be eased to allow and
respect? The ansizer• must be in the
affirmative, if thert is any substantial
basis for the conclusion that the individual
who possesses most bodily strength or
mental power has a right, by reason'of
it,•to exalt himself, to a supremacy over
hiti fellows.
Nature is not piodigal of great men,
In thia(whole nation of thirty odd mil
lions there are riot a dozen men who loom
up with,distinct, peculiar, and permanent
elements of genuine greatness. All the
rest are common 'Teeple, distinguished,
indeed, , by this or that,, but destitute of
the prime faculties of a tree and overshad
owing conspiculty. Getting rid of the
impressions produced upon us by the stir
and turmoil of the present time —looking
back.intO expired egea through' the light
of history—and gathering from the wreck
and waste the few names that remain—
we see how meagre is the roll of the im
mortal names. Examining the preten
sions of these with precision, we find
that many of them owe their prestige
mi t e to fortuitous circumstances titan to
their own native nobility of soni.
How are the superior ones of_ any race
bound to use their powers. Clearly, for
the public welfare; that Is, for the well
being of those who are below them, not
in nature, but in point . of special qualifi
cations. This rule, obligatory on indi
viduals, attaches with like invincibility to
rases.
But, when all these differences of: en
dowment • are admitted, there. remain
facts In which all individuals and races
touch each other, blend into a common
brotherhood, and hence rest upon a per
fect and anchangable equality. Rights
and responsibilities are the same in each ,
individual and race. .1. In these respects,
there are no higher and lower. The boot
black, or the humblest menial on earth,
la the peer of the profoundest philoso
pher or the astutest statesman. Before
the law, all distinctions which are re
cognised elsewhere, fade out and disap
pear. At the tribunal of public justice,
as at the bar of God; 'in all the places
from whence political power emenates,
and In all the ends to which it reaches,
men are all units, equal in rank and po
tentiality. This is . a Democracy of, which
the Post and' its party know nothing, be
cause there is no realDfigtocracy in them.

DIRECT TRADE - WITH LAKE SU-
PERIOR.
EDITORS GAZETTE: I l'ead with plea
sure your editorial remarks upon the im
portance of a ship canal to Lake Erie, in,
the GAZETTE of this morning. .:In a
series of articles furnished for your:paper
last October, I endeavored to urge' this
iinportant subject. It seems to me one of
vital importance to our manufacturers in
general, and especially so to our iron and
coal interests.
I have in my possession a little map of
the iron ore producing region, of Marl
qnette county, Michigan, know as the
"Lake Superior Iron Region; from a
glance at this map it-will be seen that the
developed iron district embraces a strip of
territory about tour miles broad and sir
teen miles long, running from the town
of Negaune to Lake Michigamine,reached
by the Ontonagon and Bay de Noquet
R. R. and the Peninsula Branch of the-
C. &N.W.R. R. The lake- terminus of
the roads is at Marquette, on Lake Supe
rior and Green Bay. The importance of
the trade is understood by your cOtres
pondent "H." From the - Marquette
Mining Journal, I find that the, shipments
of iron ore and pig iron for 1868 were as
follows:
(iron tons of 65 per gent. iron ore 536 em
*arose tons of ehercoat plg Iron --. 40,0001
This would represent an aggregate
equal to :61,000 tons of pig,iron,or about
"Onefiffli of the; entire product of the United
Stated for 1868.' The, importance of this
little spot will be better underatood from,
reference td these authentic figures.
Bituminous coal is shipped from Buf
falo, Brie and Cleveland ,to this iron r&
gion, in limited quantities; if our immense
cool interests had a „ship , canal to Erie,
and lake vessels at our docks, capable of
carrying 600 to, 1,000 tons, hence to Es=
canabs or Marquette, what possibilities
wonid such a future foreshadow,- to our
manufacturing and,. mining interests.
Cincinnati builds a iailroad . to Chattanoo
ga, to secure an enlargedHouthern trade,
at a cost to the city of $10;000,000. Pitts
burgh can bring lake vessels to her docks
for about $2,600,000. Is it not - worth
thinking of ? Would not such = under
taking, which would develop several of,
the beat counties in the State, be worthy'
the attention of our State Legislatois?.
The "unexpended balance" in our State
Treasury would repay a better , rate of in ,
terest if invested in such a work, than in
any shape I can think of. , R.

The news from Alabama is most cheer
ing. The Republicans Urd-e, in very excel-
lent condition, and the prospect of a great
triumph at the election on the first Mon
day in August could not be better.
The attempt to revive the, old National
Intelligencer has failed, and the partiea
who:proposed purchasing the establish=
ment will start a new paper In the fall,
with the. Hon. Edmund Burke,- of New
Hampshire, at the head of the editorial
Corps.
Senator Cameron and Wayne McVeigh,
of West Chester, bad an interview with
the President Wednesday morning, when
the former presented objections against
the appointment of Benjamin Harris
Bremner .as Attorney General, which, it
was fnmored, was the President's irate•
lion in case of the resignation of Attor
ney General Hoar. It is understood that
Senator Cameron recommended Mr.Me-
Velgh as a suitable man for this position.
At the Cabinet meeting on Wednesday
it is well understood that the Cuban ques
tion =was disculsed at length. All • the
members present coincided with the Pies
ident in his opinion that the attifgade of
our relations With Great Britain renders
it necessart fo r our Government to'inain: ,
tain a stric ~neut- a lity,. and particu'arly
to avoid any
,o9mplication regarding the
belligerent rights question, which ,would
give England an opportunity to offset our
complaintsagainst the Queen's proclama
tion acknowledging the belligerency of
the rebels daring our late;war. Such, I
have good reason to believe, are the
views of the Cabinet unanimously.

proceeds from their perversion and miss,
management morethan anything else.'
There . are teachers. who think that they

any more, nor •do they want anybody

Too'often the lectures and eiterCises of
such meetings are not catculated to
edify teachers and aid them in their
work. Popular teachers, who 'have
great reputation, are generally chosen for
the performances. And these can often.'
er exult more in their 'own success than
they can,instruct others how to attain the
same degree of prcitiblency. More than
once have I known a respectable audi
ence to be bored by dull and prosy ad
dresses from such persons. And there
are teachers-who fear that they will lose •
caste by associating with others.
' The legitimate, design of institutes is
to prepare teaahers for efficiency and
thoroughness in their vocation ; to. give
chances for 'manifesting professional
courtesy; and to,show the public
(parents and guardiansespecially) what
the teacher's position is—to enlist their
sympathies, and Cooperation, and to en
gage every influence that will promote
the success and- respectability of the
work of education. This is to be accoin
plished by lectures, descriptions, clan
drills (model lessons) and such other
exercises as the ingenuity of true and live
teachers may contrive. puch perions
always regard it as a labor of love to en
gage in any enterprise that contemplates
this design. A true teacher is always a
16.rner, and always rejoices in the sac
cesiof his fellow, laborers In the profes
sion. He, is in his- right element when
he has a chancel.° give them' some aid

I hope for the credit of the city and
for the general success of public educa
