FIRMLY by his republican principIes-recommend such
measures only in his deliberate judgment the best
Interests of the country may to require and let
those who choose take the responsibility of going
against them. iactious opposition will not long be
tolerated. The People have too much discernmenI
not to discover and too strong sense OF justice not to
rebuke policy purely selfish and nt-patriotic; and
If the President occupies the impregnabe ground OF
RIGHT, those who oppose him, must Of necessity, take
up an ndefensbIe position, and every effort TO main
tain it will only render their situation exposed
and defenceless. 1t would be treason to doubt the
result of such contest Already is the public mind
rapidly awaking to the true condition of things at
Washington.
1t has been made reproach to the President that
he is without party' Passing over the charge,
which Is undeserving single grave remark, 1t may
with truth be asserted that he enerrans opinions on
most of the important questions of national policy In
accordance with vast majority of his fellow citizens
He ID an-Bank: a majority of the People. he
is against distribution Of the proceeds of the public

again, believe majority of the People with him

selfprotecton would be exploded as one unworthy Of
civilization and in conflict with all liberal and

the shackles with which her policy has long

THE ARMY AND NAVY.

Every day brings and more evidence that
proposal to cut down small military force the
most unpopular of the many unpopular things at
tempted by the present Congress There is mis-
taking the national feeling upon this subject. We
do not believe that under present circumstances any
material increase of the army or navy would be toll
Grated Nobody asks this; nobody expects it. We
are all opposed to large standing army or to an UNI
necessarily expensive navy. But there is a fair and
proper scale upon which these establishments should
be kept and we believe that almost the universal
sentiment of the people is that they are now about
what they ought to be. We must in the nature of
things as we heretofore pointed out have good deal
of work for small army and navy in time of
peace and should the world become again involved
in hostilities, shall find forces none too large
for neucleus around which to gather our strength.
There should be no factous party feeling upon this
subject. 1t demands and enlarged an liberal of
the great interests of whole country. If examin
ed in such spirit, do not believe that it will be
consider ed necessary expedien to vary materially
in any way present military and naval establish
ments as to the amount of force. They are Just
about respectable in point of strength nothing more
All efforts at reform should be directed to their or
ganizaton, discipline and management.

slow action is confessedly not to be found 10 the
sluggishness of the committees, but in the tor
pidity of the House.
What is the cause Of the inactivity? Mr..
Morris has given what he deems 10 be the true
one, but because his views are not very palatable
TO certain party leaders and asprants-his rec
titude and modesty cannot save him from de-
nuncation-and he hardly escapes the complete
disagreement Of accommodation.
4, the King, am the Government, says TO-
reign Autocrat, and we the leaders who obtain
all the benefits of success in party conflicts.
are the party say Wing demsagogues, in
free America. Who will submit to the dicta-
ton? Mr.. Morris, for one, it appears will not.
He will adhere TO a party, and vote with party,
as long as its principles and measures are such
as his conscience will approve. He is not
singular. No man of intelligence, indepen-
dence, and honesty, will suffer himself TO be
metamorphosed from member of party into
serfof its leaders. AS long as leaders assume
the tone of inerrancy, and endeavor to centralize
not only the power but the opinions of the party
within their own narrow circle-they must anti
cipate the resistance of recusants. An Auto
crat or an aristocracy may arrogate the govern
ment of party for time, but the authority Of
either must necessarily, in free country, be al
ways short-lived. When party has ceased to
enjoy distinct existence as party, and is mar
rowed into the support of few file-leaders we
naturally expect speedy disruption between
the privales and the commander.
The period is rapidly approaching when the
great ultra leaders, whose aspirations are now
so strong, will be left to Bentonise and Man
gumise without any interruption Of their solitary
| schemes.

From the ". Y. Courie, q. ENQUIRE

From The n. Y. Courie1 + Enquirer
The President seems to have thought better of his
threats of turning out of office all those avoraby
disposed to himself He has even failed thus far to
prosecute his attempt the Custom House in Phila-
delpha. Did not say that he dared not carry into
execution his threatened schemes of vengeance2
The President never threatened to turn out
all not favorably disposed to himself. He never
threatened any schemes of vengeance. But he
resolved to do JUSTICE, and it will be done.
Whether he dare perform his duty or no, will
be seen. Whether he will change his mind or
no, after it is his determination to dismiss an
unworthy officer, be he high or low, in the fear
Of ultra Wing vengeance, is by no means de-
cded by the above haunting paragraph.
