A PoLITICAL CHANGE OF BASE.

A PoLITICAL CHANGE OF BASE
J. Brooks, editor of the New York Express
and member Of Congress, in letter from
Washington, says " Slavery carries with it
is own punishment. 1t is dead drag to the
body polite. 1t is impossible fer any con-,
munity to prosper with it on its bosom. The
atiiiction bears as heavily upon the master as
upon the slave 1t endangers the peace and
happiness of the master, and robs the slave
of his birthright and his freedom. As to
prosperity and accumulation of property, il
keeps the master in the rear of others in a
like situation exempt from this evil, and thus
depresses him when it depresses his servant.
It is demonstrated in my opinion that that
community of whites, taken as whole,
must be happier, more prosperous, and richer
where sSa-crv j. prohibited, than where it is
.itcyel.

doesn't fool those of US who have been ac-

The grand meeting and torchllght process
eiOn tonight promis, to eclipse any previous
demonstration Of the kind ever witnessed in
our city. From every ward and precinct
che liberty-loving freemsn of Philaiel-
phia will pour forth TO pledge each to
Che other an earnest support Of the national
cause. The day ltselfis auspicious. The bracing
breezes from the northwest are stimulating
and invigorating. Our National Banner,
from mast and house-top, floats proudly
20 the breeze, as IL in sympathy with the holy
cause that's thrilling mems hearts and nervng
eheir arms. Strangers are thronglng into the
city, 10 witness the marshaling Of the hosts OF
The friends of the Union.
We hold it to be the duty of every lover o
his country to take part in the proceedings
eo-night. The moral effect will be sublime
let it go forth TO the world, that while our
city has sent her tens of thousands to the war,
d vast majority OF our people are jealous
an favor Of sustaining the Government. We
trust that those who are unable to march in
che procession will be present in Independence
Square, where glorious meeting will assem-
BILE, and be addressed by distinguished
speakers. The effect from the State House
viii be magnificent. 1t is arranged that the
-pEaAs will move around three sides OF the
Square, and that q continuous display of fire.
works will be made. 1t will be literally sea
ef fire, overhung with darting meteors and
lhe flashing flights of a thousand hues.

above reproach, OF suspicion at least, have
affected to laugh at the familiar phrase used
recently by the President In one Of his off-hand
and good-natured letters, to the effect that It
is "not safe TO swap horses while crossing q
stream" But those qucrulous critics who are
never pleased with anything that emanates
nom Mr.. Lincoln, but are inclined TO find
fault with all his acts and saying, wh5thcr
they are really deserving OF censure or praise,
have pretended to find in that apo'hegn as
quoted by him in his lettcr accepting the
nomination Of the Blitimore Convention, an
occasion for unboundad ridiculc and animal
version. Well, they may have their fun and
indulge Themselves without stint, In all that
sort ofhypocritcll derision.
The people at last will sec moro earnest
patriotism and sound practical philosophy in
MIR. LrNCoLN's jokes, than Is TO be distilled
from the most sober and decorou5 enuucia-
tions of the Democratic speakers aud editors.
There was "method" In "ITamlo's" mad
ness, and there is philosophy substantial
and profound practical philos)phy-in the
Presidents humor and bon mOtS.
There is danger 10 swapping horses in the
midst OF a swollen river, whose violent and
angry current will admit Of no such inoppor-
tune temporizing. Aud this nation is now
crossing the turbulent and boiling waters of
revolution. The winds Of passion are roaring
loud and strong, and the waves are la5hing
the opposing shores with terrible fury. The
Government, in passing through the tempest
and the pillows of rebellion to the sure land
ing ofpeace and security, has crossed very
nearly TO the solid footing that has to be
pained in order TO save itself from being
swept away by this surging food. If 1t is
stopped In its course at this crisis 1t is lost
inevitably. To change the figure of speech
from horse 10 a boat, we are constrained to
say, that if the pilot who is now at the helm,
and who is steering the nation across the
stream, is suddenly changed, the bArque and
all its precious freight will be lost.

THE WAR NEWS.

The speech OF Mr.. JEFFERSON DAVIS at
Macon, which we published yesterday, gives Just
such an idea of the true weakness of the Re-
bellion as we have been endeavoring to por.
tray in his newspaper for some months past; (;
and, taken in connection with the news
gathered by our Washington correspondent
from time to time, clearly proves that the
Rebellion Is tottering to its fall. Indeed, Mr..
DAVIS betrays o weakness we were unpre-
pared to receive. He is a very jocose fellow.
and notoriously given to lying; but we cannot
think thai he could have the presumption to
stand upon a platform made of the cofflns o.
his countrymen, and mock their widows and
orphan children for mourning their loss in
battle This he did, and was so ashamed of it
afterwards that he ordered the speech to be
suppressed.
But JEFFERSON DAVIS says that SHER-
MAN must and will be crushed. he has tried
TO crush him with the corps Of HARDE g,
FRENCH, FORREST. and WHEELER, and has
failed most signaIly in the attempt. Accord
ing to his own showing, all is now lost in the
Southwest TO the Confederacy.
Tut add TO this the terrible dual defeat Of
EARLY in the Shenandoah valley, an we find
chat the Rebel prospects in Eastern Virginia
are as nebulous as those in Georgia. The
Gordon around Richmond, which he (Mr.
DAvIs) pretends TO fear so much, is now
placed In such manner that it cannot be cut.
Beyond this surety OF military success on
our part, In the course Of the next sixty days,
we have even more solid promise Of peace
pf the right sort in few months through the
utter exhaustion of the small crops raised Ia
the South this year. Competent thinkers
basing their opinions upon actual observation
say the Rebels cannot hope to carry on th'
war beyond the 1st Of February without a
victory which will give them vast quantit!
Ofstores.
Let us remember. then, that though error
have been made, yet the Rebellion has bee
laid at our feet by Mr.. LINCOLN and hi
advisers; and it is our duty to support him
consequenee. He alone can give us perma
nent and honorable peace, and his Admins
tra,ion ought TO receive the blessings OF th
peOrle for 1t.
