THE TWO ORAI1ONS.
From tho boston Herald ]

Boston has yindcated her ancient name and fame.
The two public addresses to which the citizens listened
on Monday-of Mr.. Choate and Mr. Holmes-were
worthy of the occasion. Compared with what we have
had to endure for the past few independence Days they
in all respects and at all points most refreshing
Mr. Choate's address before the Young Mems Demo
cratic Club we have given at great length already
limited space allowed /; and upon production of
such character 1t is unnecessary that should impose
any remark Those who heard it at the time will have
afterwards to congratulate themselves the
good fortune of having been present; and those who
not present to listen will fail to discharge high
duty and secure lasting pleasure they do not read the
same while the haowed associations Of the day hang
ing about them.
The Grafton Of Mr.. John j. Holmes before the city
government was, in certain passages bold and manly
defence of this Union under whose sacred pledges
allowed to nurture oil hopes for the Future and for
Man, and Embodied some very proper and wholesome ad
vice TO those tumultuous Union sliers which they will
greatly regret If they fail to heed it scasonably This
time the city got patriotic orator not man. as Mr..
Choate expressed it in his address, with incapacity
to combine ideas anti great capacity to ovcrwork single
one 1t Is not strange that people who heard 1t
read it wriggled, 1t like heavy tread of the
heel into nest of creatures very much given to squ
ing.
Mr. Holmes said well what he had to saw by way of
rebuke to the who get their living Of politics bis
severity well merjted and is therefore not strange
at all that it excited dsavor in certain quarters What
ever planks put hereafter" said the orator. into
those platforms RATS by which cndeavor to escape
from asinkng party, devoutly hope these may be firmly
nailedthat no mere politician Is worthy any Office and
that who cannot and does not earn an honest
living outside of politics and party have honest
mans vote for any place of public trust, profit.
power
We glad that Boston has put herself right again
and that she has, need better testimony than the
fact that the same people who appauded the perform
ance of the orator Of last year whine If they could
not endure it the manly and sensible and patriotic
address of this We trust that the city will countenance
more dsunion orators whose philanthropc de-
sires require them to preach of anything higher for
than Amerien philanthropy

GEN. WILLIAM WALKER.

This mysterious and inevitable individual, who
seems to be regarded by class Of our felIowciti-
zens as kind of special Dispensation and as hold
ing the key to all future progress the part of the
good people of the United States appeared again,
few days ago, at New Orleans, and gravely told his
listeners that Mr.. Buchanan, through his Secretary
Of War, sent ambassador to him (Gen. Walker)
saying that if he would forego the Nicaragua enter
prise and engage in the service Of Mexico and while
iu that service do act, such tearing dozen the
flag of SPAIN rendering between Spain and
Mexico inevitable, he tWalker) would receive the
support Of the administration"
1T is, perhaps, hardly worth while to say that the
President never authorized the Secretary of War or
any other person, to speak for him to Gen. Walker
personally, or through an ambassador" on the sub
ject referred to has the Secretary of War held
any conversation with Gen. Walker, or through an
ambassador, speaking for or representing the views
of the President, the administration as declared
in the report of Gen. Walkers speech.

the opposition, beg to remind the Herald Of the
events running through the eight years preceding the
election of Mr.. Buchanan, when the slavery ques-
ton was not only open but absorbed every other,
and to ask, now that negroism seems to be fairly
crushed out upon what principle our contemporary is
able to anticipate union Of the forces of the oppo
sition for the great contest of 1902 The Herald
refers to the money question" taking its lessons
from the universal prostration of 1910, when every
branch Of business depressed, and about three
fourths of the mercantile community clamorous
for the Intervention of the government to relieve
them of their obligations, and thinks ii is possible
that the opposition may open the canvass of 1860
upon that issue AT least there should be par
allel between the condition of the country and
in 184O in order to justify the Herads conclusions.
Besides, in 1s40 under the leadership of the gallant
Clay, and supported by powerful and patriotic or
ganization, equally credited in the North and South
the opposition presented widely different appear
ance from that which aboltioniss exhibit at this day
They claimed to be the national, Union-loving,
servative men of the country. They embraced a
large portion Of the commercial and wealthy classes
and were successful in fixing the impression upon
the country that they were more orderly lawabiding
and respectable than the democratic party. But,
above all, they were people-they were not made
up Of abolitionsts anti-slavery men, native Ameri.
cans, socialists, Mormons, women's-rights people
in short the odds and ends of every old brokendow
political enterprise Of the past the opposition
present themselves. To bring such materials to-
gether would create another bedlam; they would
boil up like the two powders of the scidlitz and their
effervcscence would last about as durable

A CHILLING RESPONSE.

Mr. N. Sargent's Crittenden letter is having wide
circulation. Democratic papers publish it to ex-
pose the manner in which the new party is to be or
ganized to overthrow the ancient democracy repub.
ican papers, to rdicule and disavow the movement
while few of the old-fashioned tariff journals main
tain ominous silence, as if they were bordering
carefully the present situation of political affairs.
Take it altogether, the public response to Mr. sar-
gents programme is anything but encouraging to the
success of the movement. What the private re-
sponses may be, we, of course, have no means of
knowing. It is probable that the result will illus
trate the maxim in politics. that parties cannot be
manufactured to order, or moulded by individual
effort to accomplish individual purpose Parties
grow up little by little and acquire strength by pro
ceeding from and resting upon the masses Those
who appear to be leaders are in fact but the expo
nents Of the public wishes are the followers of pub
lie sentiment rather than its controllers Parties
build up men; men cannot make parties II we
compare Mr.. Sargent movement by the standard Of
sound political philosophy it is easy perceive that
it is destined to BIO a failure. AS specimen of
what the republican papers say of it, we append the
comments of the Ohio State Journal, which in most
things speaks for Governor Chase:
Sin another part of this paper will be found Mr. Ma
than Sagents programme to destroy the republican par
y and aid the Buchanan democracy reeect him to the
Presidency The ostensibe purpose il is true does not
contemplate this but the result will be the defeat of the
republicans party is to be formed the effect of
which will be TO divide the republicans and TINS
another triumph of the prosavery democracy Against
this new movement entef protest The republi-
party is national partynational It's principles
and it is only its enemies who charge IL with being any
thing else

THE SEARCH QUESTION AGAIN.

We gave the other daya full report of the debates
in Parliament the subject of search in order to
enable our readers to see what language the minis
try of the Earl of Derby would employ in announc-
ing to the British people and the world their sub
subject Of the equality of the nations upon the high
seas maintained by the American government, which
submission, in tho most explicit and satisfactory
terms, had been officially communicated to General
Cass by the Earl of Malmesbury We had pre-
viously stated the decision of her Maestys govern
ment on the strength of dispatches communicated
to the Department of State through Lord Napier,
spatches, which frank, manly, and unequivocal,
and we may add all that this government could ask
We find, notwithstanding these announcements,
and think, the equally satisfactory oral dec
larations in the House of Commons on the same sub
ject that our enterprising and usually well-nformed
contemporary, the New York Herald, continues to
express its doubts whether after ALL the government
of England has abandoned its ancient claim Of vista
ton or point Of fact has made any substantial CON
cession on this important subject. The Herald
to regard notices of this matter as having
been based wholly upon the report of the parliament
tary debate. In truth, we noted the satisfactory
decision of the British ministry long before the ar
rival in this country of the discussion in the Com.
mons, and on the credit wholly of the correspond
ence between the two governments.
The Herald has been one of tho ablest, most con-
sisent and powerful advocates of the American con-
struction of the law of nations on the subject Of
search and visitation; but we venture to say that
journal would be quite as easily satisfied with disa-
vowals on the part of England Of tho claim distinctly
laid down by Lord Aberdeen in 1912 in reference to
this matter as the present
SO as the question came before the country this time
on the strength of the offensive exercise Of the claim
by British cruisers in our own seas.
We repeat again that England has utterly aban.
doned the assumed right, and thus closed the con
troversy.

NATIONAL ARMORIES.

An impression exists in many parts of the coun-
try that Congress- at its late session made provision
for the construction of additional armories, under
the direction of the War Department Mr.. Secre-
tay Floyd is fairly deluged with letters recommend
ing proper Sites Of which there doubtless many
very desirable ones but it appears that no action
by the late Congress was taken on the subject and
the Secretary is therefore without any additional au
thority. 1t viii be time to consider the fitness of
places when the department shall be authorized to
make selections from them.
