delphia of the least importance to the world at lnrgu
is that he has, dui ing the last three eventful yelr'4'
had almost entire control cf one of the most impor•
taut instruments for the moulding of public ollai°l3
in this country ; and that the gentleman in Bina'
delphia who now acknowledges that he paid a Livn
for whole months to steal de3patches from another
newspaper office, to be used for his own pecuniol
6
benefit, was at the time he did it engaged in cc 11.
eating the party' up to higher moral ground about
the negro. Considering the kind of people scone
of the educators' of the party during the last five
years have been, the wonder is that it should to
even as decent and well-behaved as it 15
almost impossible to over-estimate the influence

erected by a daily paper on the fortunts of public
men and affairs, as the editor, by simple it.Jration,
can do more than talent, learning, and logic 011
undo. Even apart from his editorial will'
moots, iu supplying and arranging news be
makes or mars a politician's cireer, cor:signing
one to obscur;ty by silence, by treating his saying;
or doings as of slight importance, or, by inuenJo
about them, by spreading false reports or attribill•
inn base motives. On the other hand, he inly pn-11
a worthless adventurer into the place of an hone°
man. The character of the men who control snob
machinery is of the first importance to the compliv
nity, and ought to be taken from the hands of ate
who forfeit public confideno3, or the country s'll°

lose almost its sole remainiog instrument of re'

form. "The influence of all other agencie3 011
public affairs is comparatively slight. The period'
cal, and, above all, the daily press, is engrossla
more and more of public attention ; and unless 11°
morality grows with its strength, and the men Wll°
manage it, having so much to sell, are not respect:
able men, we might as well ask the knaves, withoub
more ado, to divide our substance between them.
Politicians nobody trusts;- the judiciary feyter
trust every day ; the pulpit has greatly declined is
influence ; and if the newspapers go over to the
enemy, and sit at his orgies, what is to become,
us ? It is therefore greatly to be regretted that
Mr. Young has not been able to deny the genuine'
ness of the letters, or else offer a satisfactory eJ(,"
planation of them. The bringing of a
against the Sun does not meet the difficulty, becallse
the libel suit cannot be tried for two years to coal°,
and because we observe by Mr. Young's affi lavlt'
on which the order of arrest was obtained, thlt b°
does not meet any of the serious points raised by 140
letters themselves."

The New York Citizen has another long leader 0°
impending Imperialism. The establishment of such
a paper as the Imperialist not only, without molests
tion, but almost without a remonstrance, the CitizJl
regards as a startling fact. On the contrary, lead"
ingßepublican journals have seized this opportuolti
to ventilate tLeir own views for a more centralizes
and stronger form of Government. " When a jourl3sl
like the Round Table," says the Citizen," gravely de:,
Glares that we are drifting into Imperialism, a°
the Cincinnati Commercial talks of the coning ucly
tralization which is to absorb and govern the Coo:
tiuent, we may well wake up to what seems near 0
hand." Some assert the impossibility of a c!tange to
the present form of Government, or even in its elo•
den and violent overthrow, bat the Citizen declurej
the Radicals have effected this change a'reacif:
having overturned States, robbed millions of th'it
right to representation, tore the national constatty
tion to pieces, and pasted it together with pail
patches, so that the fundamental law Ehauld
male to follow a party, and not the people made t"
conform to the law. These Radicals have been i
law to themselves, ruling the land with a rod °
iron, making it suffer the terrors of a despotism
without the paternal care such despotisms usuali
extend. After enumerating the unlawful nee °
the party it adds, "All this time, behind Congress'
we have seen the drawn sword." The road belulo
thus smoothed from such despotism to actual iult;
perialism is an easy step. The danger must not
disguised nor ignored, nor must the presumed WO'.
ness or incompetency of " the man on horseback' 13;
held in disdain. The Citizen points its remarl',
with a striking illustration. The Radical party bug
ins exhausted the means which placel it in po'veri
the issues which made it having passed awry, 119'
a dk..sperate resort to contilue in plwer having bei
come necessary, the Administration ‘% hieh started
with the cry, " Let us have peace," is enlisting fl
lorm:da!,le standing army to prop peace with uor
bayonets, and the military believe that all measures
,
must be conducted by mia try means. The
considers the most.alartning feature to be time utter
ep thy of the people, who, like the great taida.:6
class of France, want to make money, and to bb
let alone. " Our own quiet submission to a gr 3..
,
dual but persistent usurpation of what we once °lle
sidered sacred rights ; the growing love for 11-11°1.'
and extravagance so prevalent throughout t,''o
~
,
country ; the forced feeling everywhere that Repu;
licanistn, at least as Radicalism has administerea.l
and construed it, is a failure; and that fatal facibti
we have for change, and the ready acceptance °f
0
change, without considering whether it is a chalf,
for the better—these are the dangers of the day'
A respectable newspaper in New Jersey declare,
that the Imperialist, the organ established to ad.c19,0
cate Imperialism, is " edited under the ausl3ll;
and at the cost of the Secretary of the Navy, ":
Adolph Boric," and still further, that " Grant hiu.
self lends countenance to the scheme by aiding 111 th

MADLLE. ILMA DE MURSKA.—A promised great

date be the talk of the country circles as presented at the,-,5

country opera lovers are little preparsd. Dramatic singersl

admirable vocal actress and dramatic vocalist that has he'd
