We speak of parties, of course, not of individuals. Now intelligence mad coo science may be apparently invisible for a time in public affairs, but they are the great forces, and they will heave the whole frame of society until they ac quire their natural ascendency. It the principles of the Republican party were thrown out of power they would do exactly what they did before, they would shake us until they returned to power. Displace them now, and what have we gained ? Will the hereditary apologist and ally of Slavery secure equal civil rights? Will the traditional assertor cf State Sovereignty develop a noble sen timent of nationality? Wit the pander to the grossest and most prejudiced ig norance stimulate general intelligence ? And as for the details of administration, will the disciple of Floyd and Toucey and Cobb and Thompson teach us po litical honor, or the manage of the New York chy Kin* common honesty ? " Cet us have Faith that Right makes Might; and in that Faith let ds, totbe end, date tojlo our duty as we understand it"*»r A - LINCOLN SUTLER, BUTLER COUNTY, PENN'A, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER £ ISGT- A party in power, like the dominant parly of the country, is embarrassed by its sense of seeurity. "It will have whirn seys and fancies. But its members should look staightat the greatcommand ing common cause, the paeification of the country Upon the principles of the war and of the Government. The quarrels of leaders, the issues of prohibition, or of whatever special projects, should be sternly disregarded in vi#w of the nec cessity of the hour. Kvery good citizen should feel, as after the shot at Siimpter that every consideration must ue subor dinated to the salvation of the country \ that salvation can be secured only by rigorous organization, and that it can not be intrusted to those who first caused and then palliated that criminal assault. —Harper's Weekly. Keep Away From Temptation. The ODly safe course for a young man who would retain his virtue and his cor rect principles, is to keep away from temptation. How many have fallen who merely ventured to look at vice in her gaudy colors. Her temptation was too strong for them to resist. They partook of the fatal glass,snatch ed the gilded treasure,or gave themselves up to uncleanliness. None are secure who run in the way* of sin; who see how neer they can ven ture on the threshold of vice, without entrangling their feet in the net of the adversary. Have you never heard the story of a gentleman who advertised for a coachs man ? If not, we will repeat it. Three applicants were admitted to his room.— He pointed out to them a precipice, re, marking, "how near the edge of this can you drive me, without any danger of an upset." The first applicant replied, "within a hair's breadth." "Hownear can you drive me?" in* quired the gentleman of a second ap plicant, "Within a hair's breadth," he re plied. As the third was about leaving the room, supposing that he had no chance of competing with the other two. the gentleman stopped him. "Let me hear what you have to say," said he. "Why, sir, I cannot compete with either of these: if 1 were to drive you, I would keep as far off- as I possibly could." "You are the very man for me;" said the gentleman, and he engaged him im mediately. In regard fo vice, he is only safe who keeps away from temptation. Those who venture near are often upset and destroy ed. We can point to individuals who are lost to virtue, who, when they took the first wrong step, resolved never to take another. It was the voioe of a pre tended friend, it may be, which urged them on, only for once ; but it proved their destruction- Ye who are now safe, whose hearts are uncontaminated, listen to the voice of wisdom, aud go not where there are strong alurements to vice. Keep away from the gaming table, the grog shops, and the mid-night party. "Keep as far off as possible," and a lile of integrity and virtue will assuredly be yours. GUN'. SHERIDAN'S indorsment of General Garnt is emphatic and perfectly unreserv ed. "lie is all right—have no duubtof that— you can trust hiin to the fullest extent— you dou't know him ull through yet, but you run no risk in extending to him perfect confidence." The hero of Winchester has established his credit with the people to such ait extent that if there were any need of an indorser of Gen. Grant, nothing more would be necessary. There is something bordering on chivalry in the warmth of the friendship exhisting between these two men scarely le-s trusted for their mnnagment of grave civil affairs gaowing out of the war than for their heroism in fighting it down. Neither speaks of himself, but each praises the other, and with a sincerity so genuine that the nation can do nothing but admire them both. And here is a good place to record a remark made by Sheridan, while in St- Louis a few days a ago. He said he "regarded bis administration of affairs at New Orleans as comparatively mild, and coming short of the standard required of him by Gen. Grant, who, he said favored the exeersises of far greater severity, and if he (Gen. Grant) had been filing the posi tion himself, he would have adt.pted more stringent and rigorous measures." COUNSELS TO YOUTII. —Let youth ever remember that the jonrney of life pre sents but few, if any obstacles in its path which faith and perseverance will not overcome. No talents, however great, will be of much vatue to the owner with out careful using; many a youth has failed of doing any benefit to himself or others solely because he made no efforts to improve the talents that might have enable 1 him to become a blessing to others, have turned their course down ward, and by drinEing, smoking, ling, licentiousness or self-Sbuse, have sunk in everlasting night. Youth, re member that it is in your power to be long to either of these classes, and on yourself rests happiness or misery con sequent on your decision. —"My daughter," said a fond and affectionate mother, as she gave the part ing kiss to her child, who was leaving the home of her childhood, togo among strangers as a teacher; "Let Virtue be thy priceless jewel; Truth, thy firm friend; Piety, thy daily counsellor; Modesty, thy bosom companion ; Kind ness, * welcome visitor; and Nee.nesa an every day associate. With sueh friends to advise and guide, thy path through life will b« strewed with no re grets" THE PRESIDENTS INTENTIONS- The conduot of the President justifies the alarm which we have expressed. He Cleans mischief, and he will be restrain ed only by his fears. A man in his po sition, who simultaneously defies his op ponents and surrounds himself with those who are known to be his devoted adhe rents, it t> man who intends to resist.— His word, evea if he gave it, oould not be trusted. The law does not restrain him, for he denies the authority which makos it. The real situation at present is that the President asserts his will against the will of the people in Cong ress, and will probably try forcible con clusions with them. The steps are easily seen. Congress passes a reconstruction law. It IB full of holes, and the Attorney-General drives a six-columned opinion through it.- Cong ress reassembles, and, although it has had the fullest experience of the tieacbery of the President and ol its own inaccu racy, mends its law and then ties up its own hands for four months, as if there could be no defect in its supplementary law and the President were now to be th* most long-suffering of saints. The mo ment Congress is gone and safely out of the way for the,third of a year, the Pres ident and his accomplices discover the weakness of the law. This once plain ly seen, the President acts. The Secre tary of War is suspended. The Depart ment General dearest to the people is re moved and sent to fight the Indians.— A proclamation, enjoining obedience to the civil authority, follows, and theu conies the amnesty. The civil authority proclamation was incomplete without the amnesty. The amnesty is pointless with out a farther measuro. This measure, of course, is the reopen ing of the registry for all the amnestied class. The amnestied persons indeed can be registered only in direct contravention of the act of Congress. But what is easier than for a Commander to look at the amnesty, and at the proclamation, and to say that he can not exclude from the registry those who are eligible ? The President will have done nothing about it. The Commander will simply have exercised the discretion which Gen eral Grant advised General Sheridan to use. The State Conventian will be held the Constitution framed, and t'ongress will decline to receive it. The President will insist, and upon the persisteuce of Congress will in turn decline to recog nize that body. Or, again, suppose that the President directs the reopening of the registries, and tho adaiission of those whom his am. nesty festores. That would be a viola tion of the law of Congress. The Pres ident would be at once impeached and removed. But he knows that as well as any one, and, if he issued an order to reopen the lists, the conclusion would be inevitable either that he did not mean to permit Congress to meet at the Capitol to impeach him, or that he meant to re sist the process. If he means nothing at all. why does he invite impeachment ? If he invites impeachment, it is merely that he may be removed from office ? In what precise way actual violence might arise it is, however, idle to won der. The point is to see that violence is, under the circumstances, highly prob able, and that the country should be pre pared for it. The time finds the Presi dent desperate and surrounded with evil counselors. The elections are interpre ted id favor of his hostility to Congress. The Democrats carry California ; the Re publican vote is reduced in Maine ; a Republican delegate to Congress is de feated in Montana. "It is approval of your policy," shouts the chorus to tha President. And if equal suffrage should bo defeated in Ohio; if the Copperhead candidate should be elected in PesnsyU vania; if New York should faltor at the polls, and even in Massachusetts the is sue of prohibition should confuse our ranks—the same chorus would shout to the President that the people had re pented, and that any extreme action upon his part would be supported by them. Meanwhile we have no more doubt that the loyal people of the United States intend to secure the results of the war than we have that they fought it uncon' ditionally to the end. The President will no more balk them than Beauregard's shot at Sumter balked them, or the Dem ocratic shout for surrender at Chicago dissouraged them. Let us only fully understand the situation. Let us see that the President deliberately defies Congress, and assumes to make his arbi trary will, which he calls the Constitus tion, the government of the country,and he will learn, as he did a year ago, what the people really think and feel. It is useless, therefore, to snpposo that bo "would hardly dare" ta go so far. He will dare any thing if his courage is sus tained, and that is sustained by Demo cratic successes. The Democratic party despises him. but it gtadly uses him.— Its revenge upon him for his vehement Unionism during the war is to try to make him the instrument to restore the spirit of the rebellion to power. The way to peace is now what it has been since the rebellion of the slave power against the Government, and that is the total defeat of the party whioh cherishes the traditions of that power.— And if peace has been for ttvo years de layed it is only because the treachery of the Executive has constantly stimulated the hopes of that party. Had the Presi deutjbecn faithful to the principle it would have reorganised the Union. He may still further delay, but ho can not defeat its final triumph.— Harper's Weekly. —Muoh passes for virtue that is but th* absence of temptation. MAINE AND CALIFORNIA. If the Republicans in California had #ol been notoriously divided, and if the Maine election had not fumed upon the prohibitory liquor question, the result in those States might fairly be claimed as the beginning oTa reaction. The Dem ocracy have indeed brought out their largest wooden gttns, and have announc ed with the utmost batisfa«tlou that the people at last begin to long for the good old glorious days of Pierce, Huchanan, and the Southern oligarchy. Hut their loud salvos over these elections are but an aqergetio kind of whistling to keep up courage For it is plaiu that if the ques(\ou of reconstruction is finally set tied Vy the party which believed in the war,and -brought it to a successful and the Democratic party will be wholly demor alized. We do not deuy thatthe result in Cal ifornia ischeeringto the Democrats and the unconstruoted rebels, while it gives us the disadvantages of the depression whioh always acoompanies defeat. Nor do we deny that parties petish from disv integration as well from open and tri umphant assault. If, as was undoubted ly the ease in California, corrupt in fluences succeed in nominating candi dates. no feeling of the necessity of par ty organization can save, or ought to save, a party. This is especially true of the Union Republican party, for its chief ends could not be secured by cor rupt agencies. Corruption, universal and profound, if it cxisrs in a party, is not one of the minor and episodical is sues which we claimed last week shuuld be sacrificed to the groat cause to which a party may be devoted. While, thero fore, every truly patriotic man must de plore tho result in California, which gratifies only virtual rebels and their al lies and apologists, let him not misuns derstand it. The responsibility of de feat rests with those leaders who served personal and corrupt interests instead of the general good of the cause. The heart of the people of that State is un ehanged; and, although the late elec tion makes success more difficult to the Union party at the next trial, there is no reason to doubt that in the serious crisis which has fallen upon us they will be as true as over. In Maine our friends evidently sup posed that they could indulge all kinds of private differences. The result has probably shown them that until they are ready to surrender to the united cneoiy in front they must fight only upon the great and real issues. It is unquestion ably true that eight if not nine tenths of the strictest temperance men ore also Republicans. Hut to make a prohibitory law the issue of a party campaign is to divide our own ranks and to do nothing else Prohibition is not a measure of the party. If it could be made such to-day the Republican Union party would in evitably dwindle, and the Democrats and the President would have their own way to-morrow. Governor Andrew, of Mas sachusetts, for instance, is not a prohibi tionist; but ia there any truer or more representative Republican in the coun try ? It is unwise, and it is certainly un generous, while the national interests demands as much as they ever did tho united action of all loyal, libertyloving men whether thqy are prohibitionists or not, to insist upon making prohibition a party issue. Would it be any saisfaction to any man in Maine who is as sincerely a Republican us he is prohibitionist, that his insistence upon his scheme might paralyze the party in every State, and bring into power not only the President with his perilous policy, but the party which is the sworn foo of any prohibito ry law ? The case is elear. If tho pro hibitionists hope to carry their point by the agency of any existing party, it must be by the Republican. If, howevor, they hope nothiog of present parties, do they think the necessity of carrying their point so paramount that to reach it the country may be abandoned to the party of Yallandingham, Fernando Wood, and Andrew Johnson? That is the practical question. Let every prohibitionist con template the situation of the country and answer.

Their political friendship is a farce, after the more earnest and sincere sympathy, for years shown, with the rebels and their cause No Union soldier should be deceived by it.
