q 'REPUBLICANIsNf' LOSING THE BEST SPOKE IN
lis WHEEIL

The New York Times has been the best spoke in
the republican wheel since the organization of that
party, because il has been the fairest as well as
ablest, 1t has recently been giving the free-State
men in Kansas wholesome and valuable advice. 1t
has just announced that its locality in the city is to
be changed, next fall to new, well-arranged, and
superior building being erected on the Brickchurch
lot. In connexion with this intelligence it takes
casion to make the following announcement, which
shows that il is no longer to be chained to the car of
the disunion republicans fighting in their party
ranks. 1t says;
''It [the Times will be hereafter in its political con-
duct entirely independent of all political partiesudg
ing all events and all upon their merits and giving
praise and censue support and opposition where either
may be deserved by strict and impartial regard to the
public welfare 1t will not be reckless independent Of
principle in its political discussions but win aim to con-
duct them always with dignity, discretion, and a due
Of responsibility But it will receive its guidance
inspiration from the dictates of any political party
consult the fortunes of any political aspants in prefer
ence to the requirements of the public good.
1T will appeal always to the great body of the people
against party projects and fctious schemes and will
seek constantly represent and to advocate the welfare
the rather than promote the designs of those who
seek to use them for their ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. While
know that it is by this alone that success is
be deserved believe that it is only thus also that it
can be attained"
