"Free Soil, Free Speech, Free
Trade and Free Men,

This as everybody will remember used
to be the Republican platform.
1t now turns out that this PLATFORM does
Dot mean what was generally supposed by
the people.
According to the practices aud interpre-
tation of Republican authorities, free soil
means deSpotisms under Provost Marshals.
Free speech means spouting Abolition
ism exclusively, if this be not done, place
in some Government prison.
Their free trade turns out to be the in
famous Morrell tariff, that taxes everything
eOnsummed BY the poor man one hundred

In this connection We may be allowed to
say that Capt. Harrington's friends are

Knowing him to be fully compe tent. q

The Heroism Displayed in America.

The London Daily News praises the
heroism which is displayed in America
during the war, and regrets the lack Of
sympathy which is shown abroad for that
heroism and patriotism. 1t admires the
good spirit and courage which prevails in
the north, and sncers Mt those who queru-
lously wonder what the Americans mean
by not being miserable The News says
Looking at the genuine Americans
at the sons Of the Pilgrims and the sons
of the founders of the rcpublic-we find,
as happens everywhere, manifestations of
the same courage under two distinct forms.
Our readers have seen what the New
York Evening Post says of the Quakers,
and their share in the events and influence
fthe times. No doubt there are Quakers,
akin in spirit to him who advised the cap
tain in IL sea.fght to 'lufl Il little, and to
him who, marlingspke in hand, requested
the boarding enemy to keep to his own
ship, and showed him the way overheard.
So long ago as the beginning Of 1861,
when the pro-Slayery interest had still q
disturbing power in the New ENGLAND
cities, there were Quakers among the life
guards of the leading abolitionists, walk
ing with locked AIMS and reyolvers in
their pockets, and standing sentry all
night, with every intention OF using physi-
cal force rather than let II hair OF II eiti-
zens head he touched, for u matter Of
opinion and Tree speech. If the northern
dash (Which was never exceeded by the
southern) carries away the very Quahers,
it must be very strong, and very strong it
| is.
''Ths is one form Of the heroism. All
the hale men Of many families are in the
field. When some of our ncighbors were
supposing all lost because the large boun-
ties offered did not I'LL the recruiting re
turns, citizens ON the spot We're pointing
out that the high bountics were a mistake,
were stopping the enlistment There
were plenty Of cnlistmcnts before and
there have been plenty again since the or
der for drafting went forth, removing the
sort of disgrace which attached to enlist
ing under high bOunties. But the dash
found expression in these same bounties.
The citizens have poured out their wealth
as if getting their money had never caused
them toll and anxiety The Quakcrs shed
forth their treasure with ms much magnili-

powder and ball, nor for substitutes, but
they spend freely for hospital nceessarics
and comforts, and for the support of the
families of soldiers What the exhilara-
ton Of the camp is and the courage of the
battle field, we need not tell. Some oi
the exploits and staunch endurances o
this conflict are worthy Of comparison Will

retaliate they have never gone from bed
to bed in the hospitals to taunt PROSTATE
prisoners with their wounds and tell them
that their pain served them right. This
is the dash of women who have been ac-
customed to vent their passions on slaves.
The DASH of their northern contrywO-
men is shown in their sending their bride
grooms and their sons to the war, and in
giving all they have to anybody who
needs it. 1t is unnecessary to explain to
those who have hearts that the brave and
devoted are intensely happy.
'"Ihe other form Of courage abounds no

self regards and they fit out other peo-
pies sons for the camp, or go to meet the
manned and the sick, and bring them
home and tend them. They toll in the
field, when the men are all gone; they
grow food for the many hungry who will
be wanting it. They earn money hardly,
to spend it in day. Where pillage and
burning are going ON, they look on, as

-the good Old dlys
OF the Catiph Haroun Alraschil,


The late advices from China inform us,
through the medium of private letters, of
the unprecedented career in that country
of young American of this State, who,
though but twenty nine years of age, has
reached position which reminds one of
the dim legends of Prester John, Here
is brief reeountal of the story of adven-
ture
About twelve years ago Edward For
county in this State, decided like great
many other boys, to go to sea. His
friends opposed the idea, but, of course,
the love of ocean life was too stong to be
resisted, and young Forester joined those
who "go down to the sea in ships" He
was successful, and soon became the mate
of a whaling ship, though then scarcely
beyond his majority.
In Honolulu Forester made the ac-
quaintance of a merchant of Hakodadi,
and went with him to Japan. Here he
remained two or three years engaged in
commercial pursuits Thence he went to
China, where he was taken into the I'M
perial service. He became popular both
with the foreigners and native authorities
at Shanghai, and was finally made second
in command to General Ward, in place of
Colonel Murgiven, who was severely
wounded in some recent engagement.
In this capacity the quondam sailor
continued to be much liked, and now ell
Joys the confidence of all the Mandarins
in the province, and is admitted to their
confidence, as well as to the highest and
most exclusive Chinese society. AT one
time FORESTER led band of two hundred
men against the rebels, only nine of them
returning, the rest having been all killed.
He has now twenty thousand troops un
der his command
For his services he has been made a
Mandarin of the Blue Button, and his
name stands high in Pekin His rank
obliges him to keep at least twelve SER
wants. The latest letters received from
him Ito May y states that he is in COM
mand of the city Of Sounkaing; sleeps
with the city keys under his pillow. while
not one of the 200,0 900 inhabitants of the
place-not even the highest Mandarin
can enter or leave without his permission,
anu uL u NuIu llOuA Hllll ttily lilulNlluitl
out Of thot 100000 may lose his head.
Mr., Forester enjoys also the friendship
of Admiral Hope, General Michel and
the other English and French officers in
China. Admiral Hope he reports as Sc
verely wounded in recent fight.
On the LIST of May the English, French
and Impcrialist troops were preparing to
attack Chingfoo, of which Forester will
be made Military Governor. He predicts
the removal or deposing of the so called
Heavenly Emperor within year
Such is the brief and brilliant career in
the East of a genuine specimen of Young
America. The American Mandarin has
friends and relatives living in this city, rs
well as in the nothern part of the State,
who will learn with astonishment and
pleasure of his influence and power in far
off landS,-N. Y. Post.
