NosPagty Papers.

The Tribune. III ri able article on this
subject says
The simple truth that no one who Is
thoroughly conversant with public affairs
is really neutraI-that no partyism is on
lv possible to those whose ignorance or
mental abstraction renders them inditier-
ent to the most important facts and CON
siderations affecting the National we'll be-

ism. 1t is the proper task Of an lntelIcc-
tual Blondn-notof one who says right
out what he thinks and believes.
What little consideration ATTACHES to
the sclf-styled Independent press is based
on n radically false idea Of the position
aud conduct Of party journal. 10 e>li-
tor fit for his post, imagines that he must
or should defend and justify everything
done or attomp tied in the name and oston-
sible behoof Of lis paIty-muca less all

Even if he were actuated by no other and
higher impulse than partisanship, he
knows that great cause must often be
served by exposing aud rebnkinG the err
rors OF those who enjoy and abuse its
confidence. lie serves his party best
who saves it from most errors. But be-
tween blind advocacy ofwhateyer may be
done or profcssel in the Hame Of q great
party and affected incapacity to discern
which party is, on the whole, most deser-
wing Of appreciation and support, there is
scope for n just and manly assertion Of
cardinal principles and a hearty devotion
to that which is, on the whole, the side Of
Justice, Humanity and Freedom.

@ The editor of the Democrat, in

egates to that Convention; wisdom, and
not passion will direct its councils; and
victory will crown the efforts of the sons

stitutions from the vandaI hands offanati-

The case was argued before Judge Fuller,
and according to the Chronicle his decis-

The tendency OF such articles IS unnlis-
taxable. They are productive of nooth-,
err consequences than bitterness, alienation,
discord, and injury to the cause they pro-
fess to advance. The inevitable result or
such a course, is to stir anew any previ-
onsly existing personal antipathies, or To-
cal jealousies; thus widening the gulf that
separates the Republican party from even
tual success. In scenes of excitement,
and amid the struggles ofpolitical conten-
ton, the men who show the least toler-
ancc, and use the most violent words,
damage whatever cause they adopt; and
the truth which their falsehoods have
violated will finally assert itself. The ed
itor of the Transcript, seems to be alar-
mingly ignorant in regard to tho worth
and strength of moderation and temper
ance in speech. He uses words as though
he were unacquaiuted with their essential
meaning; thus ambittering political friends
wounding personal feeling, and lowering
the dignity of his position, regardless Of
just cause.
Now this should not be. On the con-
trary, everything should be done both b.
those in exalted station and private life,
to soften the aspcritics, and settle the diff
culties that always predict defeat. The
Republicans, forgetful Of locality, should
meet and shake hands over past differen-
ces, renewing their pledges of allegiance
to those principles ~hieh are as great as
Humanity.

Cassigss W. Clay in danger.

4 letter from Cassius NJ. CLAY repre-
sents the recent fcray upon the abolition
lists who had temporarily returned to
Berea as more violent than the kentuc-
ky papers made it. The mob had threat
ened to attack him, and lie says his fami-
~ refuse to retreat, but say they will run
bullets, like the woman OF '7G, while he
defends them. Ho says he lies on his
arms waiting an attack, and if driven to
the woods shall hold his position rs long
as possible.
He has published an appeal to the peo-
pie of Madison county, Ky, against an
effort Of the ro-slayery people to drive
him from bis home. He SAYS lie had
advised Hanson and his associates, of the
Bercan colony, to leave, and had dis
countenanced the radical abolitionists,
but that if the republicans are attacked
they will defend themselves. DIR. Clay
concludes as follows:-
You may be strong enough to over
power me, but you cannot drive me from
the duty / owe to myself, to my friends,
and to my country. If L fail, | shall not
in vain; and it Will be enough for all
lohg-cher;shed associations, if perchauee
my blood shall atone for the wrongs Of
my race, anil these states shall at last be
