"SPECTACLES."
Charles r. Buckalew.

The many friends and admirers Of this
gentleman are pleased to learn that he has
returned to his home in Columbia county,
after representing the United States in Eq-
uador with his health re. established. We
know Of no man in the State of Pennsylvania
who is better entitled to the designation Of
STATESMAN than Charles r. Buckalew-
and we use the term in the highest and
best sense as distinguished from the nero
politician, manager or intriguer. He is =
man who recalls tho former and better
days of the republic, when individual mcr-
it and capacity were the only recognised
passports to public position-bofore politi-
cal schcmcrs made tr afic of politics by
introducing the debasing and corrupting
practices through which inferior men have
literally purchased stations for which they
are totally untitled by nature, character
or education. AS member of the Senate
of Pennsylvania, Mr.. Buckalew dis
played capacity of the highest order, and
was recognized as the leading mind of that
body when it contained men of whom the
State had reason to be proud. Always
cool and dispassionate, he brought vigo.
rous intellect to bear upon every public
question, and invariably commanded tho
respect and attention of his opponents, if
he did not succeed in convincing their
Judgement The readiness and thorough
ness with which he discussed every subjccs
no matter how suddenly sprung upon his
attention, excited remark and admiration
and so exhaustive were his arguments that
they always bore to observers the iIupre,1
of careful study and preparation. In the
midst Of the most exciting debates his per-
tt ct GOODNESS and the cnt re absence of per.
sonal feeling were conspicuous character
istics. During seven years service in the
Senate, though he took a leading part in
every important debate, we doubt whether
he ever said word calculated to wound
the feeling, of any of his antagonists, or to
excite personal animosity towards himself
thus showing the temper as well as the
intellect Of st statesman.
Mr.. Buckalcw is not the style of man to
intrigue and form combinations for the pur-
pose of attaining public position. lie will
be recommended by nothing but merit of
the highest order; and if the Democratic
party should ever have the opportunity of
sending him to the United States Senate
we trust that they will not neglect it, for
he would take a foremost position in any
deliberate body in the world, and be a
credit to tho State and the nation.

The "No-Party' Party

The most hypocritical of the Republi-
can press quote from Judge Douglas last
speech, with varied marks of femphasis the
following:
"Whocver is not prepared to sacrifice
party organizations and platforms on the
altar of his country, does not deserve the
support and countcnancc of honest people,
Whose platform does the preservation of
the altar Of our country require to be sac
riiced Not the Democratic plato rm
certainly, for on and by that it has been
preserved from the commencement of the
Government down. "ihe Union and the
Constitution, they must be preserved, has
ever been the foundation of the Democrat
ic organization and platform. Did the
preservation of our country require it tc
be sacrificed, it would be most chcerfully
DONE
But who is it that is not prepared tc
sacrifice their party platform on the altar
of their country? 1t is those who have
declared their party platform "a law" to
thcm-who have declared their party plat.
form "more sacred than fifty Unions"
This is the party and these are the per-
sons whom Mr.. Douglas declared Gun
worthy the support and countenance OF
honest people" The democracy have no
political power and therefore nothing tc
sacrifice that would be of any practica
effect 1t is the President and his party
who are in position, and who are callct
upon by their country to come forward ant
Sacrifice their party organization ant
platform upon the altar of their country.

John A. Die.
These are the sentiments of the Hon.
John A. Dix, member of Mr.. Buchan-
ans Cabinet and now Major General in
the army of the United States. They arc
the sentiments of the eEtire Democratic
party Of the North. That party will now,
as it always has done, stand by the Union,
and fight for the Union, SO long as there
remains single enemy to assail it. Tho
bitter partizans, who are so blinded by
prjudicc that they can see no good thing
in a Democrat, let him be ever SO true a
patriot, cannot drive the Democracy from
their loyalty by calling them ORATORS
much as they would like to do it. If they
would allow us to give them a word of ad'
vice, we would say give up calling hard
names. The country needs the aid and
corporation of all the loyal citizens, in
putting down this rebellion. Iu the issue
between the Government and the seOcss'

Government, the Constitution and the u

blind that they aeemt see, may find them,
and here they will stand until the war is

to look over the battle-felds and see who,

The same paper urges the Republicans o

that the experiment of a purely sectiona

North, VIC will thank you for your argu-
mcnt. In talking with Greeley, the writer
said have been subscriber to your
paper for ten years, and have done all
could to increase its circulation" "I have
lived 50 years in this county," &C., 60.
That we believe to be true, and conse-
qucntly, no evil can come of it. 1t is wise
in him to inform Greeley on that subject.
The editor of The Tribune might have
waited many years for that information
from some one else. 1t might have been
well for the Captain to have added, the
time and place of his birth, his vocation
and some other matters Of that SORT They
are perfectly harmless. No one would
doubt them, and the public mind would be
greatly enlightened by their insertion.
We trust next time we hear from Stahy
8, TO-, such important items will not be
overlooked.
