LIBERIA.

In the last Colonization Herald Of this city we find
an interesting paper cons sting Of message from
the Governor of Liberia TO the Legislative Council
which is a remarkably sensible and well written
State paper, showing the actual condition, the means
of Improvement, and the actual wants of the Colony
The Message speaks earnestly of the necessity Of
establishing permanent schools for the education If
youth, the few schools established being under the
patronage and control OF religious Institutions In
America, which may be discontinued al any time
The vice of drunkenness is severely reprobaleJ
and additional measures recommended 10 prevent
the demoralizing inhutnc tipping shops. Though
a temperate people than those of Liberia do
not exist the Governor still wishes to eXpel the eyll
entirely. lie recommends that the duty on ardent
spirits &c be considerably increased, and that the
special cense to retailers be not less than Lu.
dred dollars.
The commerce ofihe Colony is steadily increasing
During The past year three new vessels have been
launched at Monroyia, one al Bassa Cove two Of
which were foreign built, purchased by the Colous.
and there the stocks. TO be launched soon
three others; at Edna, and one at Greenylc

TYLEaIsM.-The Washington Globe, in recea,
article Tyler and his Administration speaks as
follows:
"The adm instraton of apostates, utterly abiured
by the honest men of both parties, without having a
solitary friend returned yet TO either branch Cfhc
next Congress-having no principle 10 build up a
party upon--no system Of measures but that which
the country has marked with It's reprobation--now
addresses itself altogether to the cupidy of the mt +
cenary, to enlist body of Swiss for followers"
1t is said TO be very safe rule TO Judge men by the
company they keep. Let us try these g honest mcu
of both parties" We take it for granted the ser, ant,
will claim aspire to be better than their mas
tiers. Henry Clay, the leader Of wing of the all
lied forces, presents his claim to the character Of
honesty resting upon the fact, that the representa-
tive Of Kentucky he voted for J q Adams during
the tendency Of an adjourned question Of yeracy IN
opposition TO the known wishes Of his State an OPP
position engendered by himself in charging it as a
fact, that the SAID Adams at Client did propose 10
surrender the free Of the Mississippi 10 England
which charge was fatty denied OF one
will, in view OF such facts, hesitate 10 admit II,
Ciays honesty. Ehc great Globe, at the head oftIc
other wing, rests its claim TO honesty upon less equ-
vocal evidence 10 wit the bribery Of clerk IN the

One would suppose by the tempests in all the fami-
" teapots, in Mobile, Richmond Washington, New
York aud elsewhere, that we had been writing blank
verse, invoked Ate and LET loose the Florida Blood
hounds upon the aboriginal Democrats IN their i'm

between Mr. Van Buren's and Mr. CalhounS letters

the highest degreen-and accordingly the edtor,s

mllted the first offence IN this mattcrand whether

lion taken in MIR Cahoun's letter. or whether he
took u for granted from the remarks of the press il

"FAN THE EMBERS.n

This was the advice OF certain Federal poll
tician, about the time of the last war, 10 a bro.
ther politician and editor. His plan was, where
yer the embers of dissatisfaction were found in
the Democratic party, TO fan them into fame
if possible. The advice seems not to have been
lost upon subsequent politicians, judging from
the course which they pursue.
We have, within the last few days, noticed
how eagerly certain journals have seized upon
certain expressions used by the editor Of III,
" Harrisburg Argus" paper exhibiting consi
derable talent, which was expressly established
TO aid the election of General Cass to the Presi
dency, in which he speaks Of what he suppose
are the opinions, or rather what not TIT
opinions of the Governor of Pennsylvania, il
relation to the Presidency
The journals in question call the Argus thu
organ of the State Administration. The edito
himself does not claim or assume that title, al
though the paper, like most of the genuine De
mocralic papers in Pennsylvania, is decided,
friendly TO Gov. Porter. The editor neilhe
speaks nor Processes to speak by authority TIL,
Governor, we suppose, does not choose TO bring
his official influence 10 bear upon the Presiden
tial question at this time, which he has an un
doubted right 10 do; but no one, we .hint. owe

There are various ways Of raising rumor,
about changes and proposed changes. Perhaps
a man wants situation, for which no one, ex.
cept himself, ever thought Of him, and he mo
destly gets some friendly editor TO say in his
paper, that il is rumored he is TO be appointed to
the situation in question. This is the begin
ming and often the whole of the affair." and
hence our friends at a distance should be eau

Iumors

COL RICHARD NJ. JOHNSON.

This war-worn hero, the slayer Of Tecum-
sch, has fully as many sincere friends in the
West, If not elsewhere, as any other man. We
are sure he has as few enemies as any other
candidate for the Presidency And we attri-
butte this to the fact that neither himself nor
his friends ever wantonly assail the present
Chief Magistrate-who slew the monster Bank
One or more Of Col Johnson's rivals-cer-
tainly one-bas an incalculsble advantage over
the baitle-scsued veteran, inasmuch as the
machinery Of the party seems to have been re-
tanned by him after the Waterloo disaster OF
1910. We cannot tell why il is--for we have
never thought that any particular individual had
an exclusive right to monopolze the columns
of the Democratic journals-but il seems. new.
erheless, to be true, that the Coils pretensions
are not so ardently advocated in the North, and
in some other sections, by the Republican
presses, as are those Of Mr.. Van Buren,.
But il is undenable that the Col is greeted
most rsp,urously by the unsophisticated yeo.
many wherever he makes his appearance
The aged farmers, who fought through the wal
with him, their children, and their neig bors. to
whom the gallant Colonel's exploits have often
been narrated all crowd around the aged sol
dier and manifest then grateful admiration OF
one Of the few remaining distinguished defen-
ders of their county.
Whether or not Col Johnson will ever attain
10 the Presidency, we do not venture prediction
but such an event would by 70 means a,tonish
us. Should he be President, we vouch for il
that he will be an honest one, and not antine
in true patriotism.
No man will deny that he has served his
country long and weIl-n the capacity Of war
rior and legislator. And we think be has done
more to deserpe the Presidency than some who
assume to dictate to The Republican party.

From The Springfield Independent Democrat
NATIONAL CONVENTION

1t seems to be pretty well settled that the month
of May, 1874 shall be the tine for holding the De-
mocratic National Convention for the nomination Of
candidates for the Presidency and Vice PRESIDENCY
TO be supported cordially by the Great Democratic
Repu lican family of the Union. Eleven Statcs
namely Massachusetts Louisiana South Carolina
Alabama, Mississippi, Kentucky, Mary land, fennsyl
vanla, New Hampshire Maine, and Michigan, have
already designated that period the appropriate
time. A very large and respectable meeting Of the
Democrats of New York held at Tammany Hall,
have approved that designation. ven Missouri
which had at first named November lSi3 retract,d
the procet ding, AMI thus evnced her preference Tor
another On the other hand two States only, VIZ 80
New York and Virginia, have recommended Noyem-
Der, lS43.
There can be no doubt that May, 1874, is the most
proper period and the most likely 10 secure fair
presentation of the wishes Of The great mass of the
party. Then, whoever gets the nomination. will most
surely be elected.

REPUBLICANS IN THE ASCENDANT.

REPUBLICANS IN THE ascendant
If land we doubt not il viii be done,) the
Tariff question is disposed Of before the Presi-
d ntial campaign opens, aud Mr. Clay should
be Withdrawn from The field, (and all the indi-
cations point thai way, since majority OF The
Wing, consider the Bank an obsolete idea, }
then, with the exception OF an inconsiderable
faction which has sworn TO "vote for Clay, can
didate or no candidate, hiring or dead," the
whole American People will once more stand
on common ground, shoulder to shoulder, IN
rolilics, as in The days of Monroe.
The Bank and Tariff questions disposed Of,
what then remains to keep the Wings and Dem
ocrats asunder? If they agree in every mea'
sure of public policy, what, we ask, shall keep
them apart in IS442 They are all Americans,
at least, aud we cannot see what right any ultra
politician has to drive down stakes in their
midst, and partition them, at pleasur", for the
benefit of this or that politician. Nor do we be-
lieve they will submit to it.
There will be battle in 1884, nevertheless.
The spirit of Moderation will contend against
and overcome the evil spirit of Ultrasm. The
Spragues, Rives', and McDufiies, will be ar
rayed against the violent Bentons, Banows, and
Huntingdons The conflict will be between
Republicans, who go for principles, and Rsput-
licans who attach too much importance TO men.
God defend the right.
