WAIT OF STAMINA IL THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
The passage Of the Army bill, and the triumph
Of the Senate, which took place on Saturday last,
prove, what we Ill along conjectured that the
republican members OF Congress were deficient
in stamina. From Speaker Banks down to the
latest converts TO republ,canism, they all lack
courage and self-ceaGdence They can talk and
jabber and write By the hour or the day or the
week; but when it comes to action, they are
weak in the knees, and very slight contest
wears them out. The least noise or clamor
scares them ont Of their senses and they are
ready TO retreat, and wheel about and beg TO b.
be forgiven.
u il Wall understood that the event which
frightened them on this Army bill was the dis
charge of weyimen from certain L. s. armories
by order Of the President. They were afraid Of
the consequences what people light say-of
What responsibility they were assuming. and dis
gracefully backed out. Any man Of ordinary
judgment and firm courage would have known
perfectly well that by holding on for few days.
the questiea of the dismissal OF the wori.men
would have been laid before the country in its
true shape. and the responsibility for the deed
wosld have been laid where ii belongs, on the
shoulders OF the President But the republicans
had not the nerve TO wait for this. Their craven
hearts misgave them. and they surrendered
This is not the way to succeed either in politics
or anything else. Courage is as essential a re-
qusite 10 the politician a. to the soldier; the lat
ter is not more sure Of defeat than the former If
their hearts fail them We have watched the
course Of these republicans for some time. and
all along we have seen symptoms that they were
as body deficient In courage; whence we have
inferred that when the final tussle did come be-
tween themselves aud their opponents, they
would, unless they altered their character mate.
rally. inevitably go to the wall. Saturday de-
bate abundantly confirms our impression. Had
the republican leaders possessed as much courage
~ those Of the Southern party. they might have
carried their point. and thrown all the odium OF
the s;oppage OF work in the national armories
upon the imbecile administration Of Franklin
Pierce. Instead Of his they have given way al
the first onset aud by thus suffering defeat
have without question injured their prospects of
success in the greater contest that i at hand.
We have q misgyng that many OF the men
who flourish as republican leaders are not fitted
for the stormy life Of politics They are essay
lists, philosophers and literary men afraid Of
strife, and easily frightened. II these arc to be
the leaders Of the party throughout, ali ideas Of
success may b. abandoned Hitherto, the uni

look for sympathy and aid here, and they will re-
cciveit Srecuatorsstand ready to advance money
on Land, since Pierce set them the example in the
ten million purchase. The young, enterp.isns
and ambitious stand ready by thousands to en-
brace the shadow of an opening for advance, aad
every successful establishment. of a new and
stable government upon our theories, will meet
with the hearty appreciation of the country.
These are 10. new truths though some may
deem them SUCH and we shall not share the sur
prise OF Harvey when he discovered the circnla-
ton Of the blood, that no man over forty years
Of age would receive the new doctrine. Old
foges are proverbially obtuse in this respect, and
it is the new men, who are coming upon the stage,
who will be called npon to meet and solve these
questions. The old leaders that have lately
passed away-Calhoun, Clay, Webster and many
others-laid the foundations of their fame more
than thirty years ago, when new lights broke
upon the world from Mexico, Colombia and
Greece, in their struggles for freedom. The new
struggle Of these nations to slough their old and
dead social and political theories will bring for
ward new men, too, and the third and fourth rate
intellects that cleaned with feeble light in the
trains of jackson, Webster and Clay must give
way before the coming men that are to fulfil the
coming duty.
