The WHITE MANS PARTY.-The white
working men of the courtry should not fail
to note the recent action of the Republicans
in Congress in preserving the public lands
as home for free white men, and that their
first act on fe-assembling in Congress was
to re-enact the Homestead Bill. This law is
but an earnest and instalment OF that legis>
lation which shall protect and bless the free
labor of the country by giving every indus
trious and willing man an opportunity to
make himself and his children independent
and comfortable. This sort of legislation is
better than talking about slavery and making
new laws for its extension, sording to the
habit of the Southern Democracy.

A Democratic Oninion.

The editor of a Democratic paper, the New
York Sunday Atlas, says there is but enc
word in the language strong enough and
plain enough to give a name to those mem
bers of our National Government v no are
I" resigning," or in other words, deserting, at
his crisis. Be they Secretaries, clerks, or In
any other responsible capacity connected
with the admiration cf the government, they
are towards, and deserve the pointing finger
of national scorn, when they run away from
their responsibilities at the moment of dam
ger and darkness, after having enjoyed hon.
ors and emoluments through the period OF
ease and sunshine. What would be thought
of the military officers who :" resigned" at
the moment of entering battle, after having
figured proudly at parade or review Tor OF
the naval commander who skulked under
matches in a storm, under the excuse that
6 be could no longer consistently hold his
command" when he had been the most glow
ing and gallant of fair weather sailors I? Nc
man is too low or significant, if be holds any
power or authority, to be amendable to this
sharp epithet, when he deserts duty which
grows always more honorable when wei
done, as it becomes more dangerous or more
difficult. No man is too high for the same
bo'ioni ooio0, "uOH hO ptofoo i0oAs''

cial position in the government-better fol

history yet to be wrtten-better than to bea'
] the recorded shame of this cowardlce OF de-
