"Lel the other wing of the Opposition name the

1t is quite Indifferent whether tho Republicans
are classed as monkeys or hycnas, If it can only

GOING ! GOING DOG CHEAP

The New York Tribune would be nice paper
for small party. Keep it i'll hopeless minority,
and its principles would be as firm as the rock !;
but let political success appear almost withi1 it's
grasp, and it begins to peel" for the fight by lay
ing aside the principles under which it has been
trained to high condition. 1t seems to regard
political principles as convenient for small party
but Il. dead weight in race for success. The
Tribune of the 9th has an article on the question
whether there can be a substantial union Of the
Opposition to the bogus Democracy in 1860, and
it's idea of what the Republicans would generally
be willing to concede for the sake Of harmoniz.
ing:
I'VE propose that the Republicans. ms the larg.
er section Of the Opposition oc permitted to name
one Of their number for President, to be sustained
by the entire Opposition, while the American and
National wings propose the Vice-President. The
ticket thus formed shall be supported by the entire
Opposition, each party and each State making it,
own platform. and none being committed to any
but his own doctrines or propositions, and the
United Opposition to be designated" Republicans,
"Amei icans," "Unions," peoples party" oil
whatever else its voters in any locality may
choose"
But il this offer is not accepted. the Tribune il

there was no vacancy, he asked il tn, President

THE TRUE TEST.

There is only one effective way to treat OF
these moral questions. Take for Instance the sla.
very question. You must bring the matter home
to men. You must insist that men be rs true to
theif fellows rs they are to themselves. Whatev.
er man claims for himself he should claim for
every other member of the brotherhood man
may look from his own selfish stand point and saw
he is no. an aLoiticnist. The sting Of slavery he
has never felt--the chain gals not, neither does
the iron hurt No impious villain lclaims him as
his property. His wife and children share his
harvest and homc--they are his own-no tyrants
grasp has plucked them from him, the former to
be the forced victim of miscellaneous and in.
carnate lust, the latter to drag out live, Of hope
less cnattelhood. And SO he is no fanatic-Ae is
not an abolitonist. But grapple that man--hurl
him from manhood to chattehood put shackles
on him herd him with beasts /; drive him in the
cofie gangs; let him understand that he is hing
not a mau let his wife be given to the sensual
embrace of another let his children be sold from
his sight forevcr--each to different Legree, and
can any one doubt that that man will be very
radical and fanatical' abolitonist ! But millions
in this country arc just precisely in the condition
described above--they are chattel slaves. They
havo natures, affections longings, feelings and
desires just like the rest Of the race. Their
rights are as precious to them as ours to us. This
then, is the ,est~-.the only true test. Are we
willing to be slaves oufselceS? that settles the
question. Oh. the GOLDEN Rule, that most beau.
tful rule Of right which Heaven ever gave to men
how admirably it measures all these things
How can q mans dishonesty Withstand it's search.
ing application How hardly could sin thrive
and violence prevail were it the rule that governs
all mems lives2 We would bring the entire af
fairs of the world to its tribunal. 1t should govern
not only our religious and social but also (stsri
not partizan and demagogue.) our political action
1t is only in the light of this blessed Rule that
men are rational to themselves and each other
that they touch bottom and know their wherea
bouts. 1t tears off the detestable garb Of preten
sion and sends men in search after their owl
hearts---their unused and forgotten hearts, which
have long been covered up and smothed up by tn;
false seeming OF a self deceiving and superfcia
life. SO we like to bring everything to this glo
rious and never.failing test " hen q man, then
says he is not abolitionist. we have good req
son to believe that he lies. We know that he 4
an aboltionist for himself at least since the low
of liberty is inherent in all men. Our fret sug
gsstion is-grab that man instanter, bring tn
hand cuff, the auction block and the hammer, sci
him to the highest bidder, send his children to
southern market and put him in the rice he
under the lash That man would find his where
abouts to dead certainty. The treatment ca
never fail. 1t brings to the surface the commo
sense that is in every man.-Irue american

as still rising slowly. This rise cannst proceed from
any gorge below, as the river is doubtless open to
Goose Island, about four miles above Cairo.
at last accounts the river closed from Cairo up

therefore, proceeds from swell in one of the upper
streams. The Missouri and Illinois rivers are both
tightly gorged-the one at St. Charles and the other
at the mouth, so that no considerable swell could
come from either OF these streams. The rise there
FORE can come from other than the upper nj Ssls.

swell of fully one foot at Alton and cham mel of
five and q half feet between Alton and st, Louis
This Is good water for boating, but the channel is
very crooked and much interrupted by gorges and
sunken ice at various points, All the packets down
yesterday, and there were fonr. agree that there is
hye and half feet of water, and that the river is
rising. This rise doubtless proceeds from local
causes--the two or three days Of thawing weather,

the wind came strong from the northeast, with every
indication Of growing still colder.
