erly remarks
The last session of Congress was engaged
in making a President, and the present in
framing his policy. And as the last failed
to influence the people in the choice of a
ruler, so the present is likely to fail in Civ
Ing that ruler policy We may, therefore,
with proprlety and truth, say that two ses-
sions of Congress resulted in oathing. Now,
it is time that Congress should work. In
triguing for party triunlphs and personal pro-
motions, requires that the public business
great national interests--should be neglect
cd. This j. rather a heavy sacrifice, and the
ends gained do not compensate for it.

1.-THE New York Journal of Commerce
enunciates the true American Republican doc
trine, when it says, ssthe policy which seeks
in a generous rivalry with the nations of the
earth, TO develop the industry Of our citizens,
their skill in navigation and in the arts, and
the real wealth and greatness of the country
requires neither army nor navy except what
is necessary as a decipline, and to maintain
the police Of nations The large army of the
Romans, established as part of Their system Of
conquest and invasion, was ultimately turned
upon themselves. The desire to conquer and
control others introduced them to final sub
lection and overthrow. America would
quickly repeat this example, if the heated
minds of few short-sighted politicians could
chalk out the policy of the country " 1t is
wonderful that every citizen of the United
States does not see, at once, that the aggres-
siye, ''progressive" schemes of the modern
politicians, are destro ying the principles laid
down and enforced, by the fathers of the Re-
publican party
