Parties, and their Servants.


The object of the organization of political
parties, and Of their perpetuation is, or should
be, the good Of the country, and the further
ance of policy, the primary object Of which
is the establishment of our form of govern
ment on permanent basis, and for the spread
of her free institutions. Whenever a party
ceases to do this, and directs it's every ener-
gy to the advancement OF personal and sel-
fish ends, then do politics become a miseru-
BILE farce, and nothing but dfsgfaceful scram-
BILE for spois. Arrived at this point, the
sooner the party is dissolved the better for
all concerned, for it is not only utterly use-
less, but subversive of good government.
Then do our legislative Halls present one
continual scene of strategy, and intrigue for
ofiice--a general pell-mell scramble for spoils,
and nothing more.
For some years past our legislative ha lis,
both State and National, have presented
scenes at once humiliating and disgraceful.
More especially our Congress. 1t would seem
that tap-room branchers had asurped she pla-
ces of Statesmen and patriots, and instead of
the hiGhminded, and disinterested patriotism
that should characterize such stations, we
find too frequently bandyng of rbsld jests
| and blasphemous witticisms. There are those,
however, who look upen, and speak of such
characters with the contempt they deserve
but, alas, virtue seems to be the exception,
and vice and insincerity the rule.
When the result Of On election is known,
representatives should forget that they be-
long to this or to that party, but should strive
to do right, unbiased by fear or favor. When
this state Of things is arrived at then will
parties he what they should be, and not as
they are at present, mere ladders whereon
political jugglers can mount into office, and
thereby enrich themselves by impoverishing
the country. ..a.
1t is, undoubtedly, the people that are to
blame for great part of this kind of proceed
ing. AS long as they elect men to office who
will act thus, and then stand by and cheer
them on, no improvement can be effected
Let them but elect good men to office, and on
the least indication of a departure from the
direct line of their duty, speak out and let
them know that such course will not be
tolerated. This 10 the only course to purge
the Congressional halls, and put stop to the
disgraceful, gladiatorial striving for the
crumbs that fall from the White House table

The following extract is from the speech OF
Mr.. Reemelin, of Gin. late Dem. M. C. upon
the Nebraska bill He takes the correct view
Of the matter; '.'
"Icannot close without exposing the hy-
poerisy Of the Southern Senators. who have
spoken upon this hill mean Badger Of
North Carolina, Hsntsr Of Virginia, and But
lsr Of South Csrollnsi the two latter re-
spect and cherish highly. I regret that I
must use harsh terms towards them. But by
what name shall I call their course upon this
question, when compared to that they pursued
upon the California question?
The people Of the golden empire had met
| n convention-had adopted, as is ct and pro.
per, a government, of their own-they did not
even consult Congress. II was and is a
republican constitution, and it was the first
practical assertion Of the doctrine, that the
people had the right TO start their own gov
ernment, and that Congress had no control in
it. These Senators voted against that con-
stitution, and now they vote for Douglass
bill, under the plea upon their lips, that it
gives to the peoplein the territories the pow
er to determine their own domestic institu-
tions. Can falsehood, hypocrisy and humbug
be carried any further!

New Hampshire Election,

From the mountains of the old Granite
State there comes a deafening alarm, carry
ing dsmay into the ranks Of the "unterrifed'
O Democracy. The telegraphic dispatches
thus far show a sad falling of from the old
figures. Polk's majority over Clay was 1874;
Cass's majority over Taylor was 1889;
Pierces majority over Scott was 1850. Ba-
ker's majority, for Governor, will be between
2 and seOo. Oh, what a falling off is there!

ANTl-NEBRAsKA A MEETING.

The meeting in the Court House on Satur.
day passed off remarkably WE'LL the utmolt
good feeling prevailed, and the resolstions
which appear in another column, were adop-
ted without dissenting voice. The venera-
BILE President ofthe meeting, Hon. Benz.
Raggles, addressed the meeting for short
time. The rem arks, coming, as they did,
from an individual who was for eighteen
years member of the United StatesSenate
and amember at the time the Missouri Com
promise was passed, were unusually Impress
ive.-He spoke of the feeling in Congress at
the time of the passage Of that compromise
it was thought by all persons, North and
South, that it was made in good faith, and
that it would be final settlement of that Ter
ritory on the sla very question, At the end
ofthirty four years and after the South had
reaped the benefit OF that compact il was GER
tainly violation OF faith 70 seek to set aside
any part of it sad to deprive the North of all
benefit thersfrom. s -
: G: C. Carroll, Esq, addressed the NEE
ting at some length, and int happy vein,
speaking very strongly in opposition to the
repeal Of the Compromise of 1920, and say
ing that should that take place, he would
consider himself absolved from the Comprom-
ise of 1850, including the Fugitive Slave act.
He spoke Of the agressions of the South, and
of Southern Statesman in no hon led terms;
regarded them as keeping THAR thoughts con-
tiHuany fixed upon tbs sxtentson Of slave ter
ritory, and the vanquishing Of the North.

very willing abettors who aid in giving cur
rency to his atroeious defamations. While
penning his studied falsehood, he knep that

report OF that committee FULLY ACQUITTED

as an officer. He eAnep that at that investiga.

whom the prosecution Of Gardiner has been
conducted from the beginning, was PLACED
upon the stand and testified before the com.
mittee as follows:
Question:--Has the Executive Depa rtmen
OF the Government exhibited promptness ant
diligence In the investigation of this matte
ofGardner since there was suspicion O
fraud, and in prosecuting measures to save
the Treasury from loss!
"AnSwer:-Yes, cir. 1t is impossible tina
the executive branch OF the government coul,

to have this matter investigated, the cause o
public justice vindcated, and the public trca
sury protected. The President throughou
has acted in the spirit orthe instructions whicl
as nave stated he gave me at the begin

jects has been given by every officer of tn,

We have had occasion before this, to de.
monstrate that the Dayton man accepts his
opinions and his principles all ready made; !;
and cannot, therefore, hold him responsible
for copying and endorsing calumnes of this

with which he instinctively seizes upon vii.
