Tho anxiety Of the TribMns to hide its fears In

more man fest. 1t Is too uneasy to bs patiept-too

PORTLAND HARBOR NOT .
FRESH WATER BASIN.

The Military and Naval Board, General
ALEXANDER, President,) ordered to report
whether Portland (Maine) harbor is a suita-
BILE place for fresh water basin for IRON
clads, reports adversely, and considers it
proper to express the hope that some other
place may be found, not far from q navy
yard, where an abundance Of fresh water can
be commanded without resorting to expens-
i've structures, and the position Of which shall
not only be within speedy reach Of our great
coal fields, numerous iron mills, steel works,
and various naval supplies required, but also

High Du,i,. for Political Eject.

The only journal in this city which advocates the
sacrifice Of general interests for the benefit Of
special interests, yesterday printed ths-smOng its
Washington dispatches:
"The Hon John Covode arrived TO. night to look
after the interests Of Pennsylvania In the tariff bill
lie Ia sanguine that, II Psnnsyvania coal and iron
works are kept In full blast by protection, Union
men can carry every congressional district In the
State except three or four"
Is It not mopstrOus hat the votes Of members
upon the tariff are to be Influenced by other con.
slider atoms than those directly relating to the
duties to be imposed' 10 It not dngraceful that
the interests Of the great consuming public arc to
be openly sacrificed that q particular set OF poll
ticians may be strengthened In their respective dis
triesf 1t is bad enough that " Pennsylyania coal
aud iron works are to be kept In full blast by pro-
lection. and thai this protection Is accomplished
by lobbying and iog.rollingi but at least let the
prstsnes be kept up that protection 10 desired upon

Democrat q Copperhead. That there are
Democrats who sympathised with the rebel
lion we very well know. That they deserved
to be called Copperheads for the aid they
rendered the rattlesnakes we very freely con-
cede. But Notwithstanding that, there
were tens Of thousands Of other Democrats
who were Just as loyal to the Government
during the war rs any other persons in the
country. And need we do more than to
mention the names Of such Democrats as
STANTON, DIX, HoLr, WALKER, DICKINSON,
BANCROFT, SroKLEs, CusuSo, McRroS
BRouGH, GRANT, BUTLER, SHERMAN, SHER-
rpAS, and HANCOCK to verify the statement
None of those eminent men were ever Re-
publicans. They will be represented at Phil
adelphia.
And there is another class Of Democrats
who despise VALANprouAN and all his tribe
scarcely less, who are just now inquiring
what they must do to be saved" Some Of
those will be likely to go to Philadelphia.
If the radicals stay away from there we are
inclined to think the representation from
this class will be large. Involved more or
less in the neshwork Of their old party, they
have never hitherto seen way to emerge
from the thraldom which has been resting
upon them. Accepting the results Of the
war as satisfactory they do not desire any
longer to be yoked with VALLASDIoHAM's
corpse. They will go to Philadelphia and
unite under the call Of the National Union
Club, because there is no other place to
which they can go with any prospect of sue
cess. They will all come under the Igis Of
the existing National Union organization.
1t remains to be seen whether the radicals
will persist in their insane delusion Of carry
ing the rank and file of the Union party of
to the fanatics, or whether they will come to
themselves and return TO the fold. ltseems
to us that some of them have sense enough
yet remaining to bring them back before the
door shall be closed upon them forever. II
they will go of, we have only to say, as Bod
KrSs said to his runaway wife, "GoD be with
thee, but we can't"

" NV WRITINGS IN MY TWO
NEWSPAPERS, BOTH DAILY"


Cincinnati Gazette, who has, il is fair to pre-
sume, been virtuously and piously brought
up and educated, utters, in his correspond
ence to the potential radical sheet Of Cincin-
natl. fb that would choke anybody except
an ASAxIAs and SAPPHIRA, or a jealous poll
tcan Of the radical school, which is just now
teaching that all things are justifable in
those who seek their own advancement
through the radical party. This young man
may have been deceived by his informant,
but he lies like FoRNEY when he says:
"This Mr.. johnson has done, by furnish
ing the letter written to him by Mr.. Forney,
and marked private and confidential for
publication. The President not only fur
nished this letter, but he revised the editorial
which accompanied it." -.
The letter alluded to was not marked
"private and confidential" and Tue PREsI-
DENT did not see the editorial accompanying
its exposure until after its publication in the
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,. This same lie-the
work of radicals--was repeated in the Boston
Commonwealth and other radical prints.
We will now repeat what we have before
published for the benefit of the enlightened
correspondents who are sent here to state
facts and not falsehoods, that the DANA and
FoRSEY letters were not "private" letters in
any sense Of the word; they were written ap-
plications for public Office, and placed on
file in the Executive Department as public
record for reference. II they had been marked
"private and confidential" as the Gazette
correspondent falsely asserts that they were,
they would not have been SO received or con-
sidered. .
We hope that this lying mode to get up
sympathy for FoRNEY by his radical friends
among the correspondents will cease. 1t is
done, evidently, to save FoRSEY from the
deeper disgrace which hangs over him in
consequence of asserting very boldly one
day in my writings" in "my two news
papers," that The president is now at lib
erty to print any Of his (FoRSEYs) letters,
marked private and confidential" that he
THE PREsrDESr) may possess. FoRSEY
wrote those words in a moment Of forge!fa-
ness, else he would never have penned them.
He and his paid hirelings (paid by the Gov
ernment) are now running to the correspond
ents of oil the radical newspapers in the
country urging them to assail THE PREsT-
DENT for publishing "priuate" letters. No
such letters having yet been published, it is
evident that FoRSEY breads what is to come,
for he publicly releases The President from
all obligation of secrecy. The specimen Of
"my writings" yet unpublished, endorsing
fully the restoration policy of ANDREW JOHN
SON, and hailing him as the coming chief of
the Democratic party, and expressing joy at
the defeat, at Baltimore, Of HAxLIS, &C., &C.,
is the sweetest specimen of villainy that ever
emanated from the pen of FoRSEY, not even
excepting his FORREST and Customhouse
letters He is now trying to prevent its
publication by getting up cry against pub
fishing private and confidential 4" letters.

UNPLEAsANr INFERENCE.

On the subjectof the proposed National
Union Convention, to be holden q Philadel.
phia on the l4th Of August the Richmond
Enquirer says: ~ " ~ E
"WIth all that the convention seeks to ac-
complish the people of the South heartily
concur. But there are some points on which
we are left in doubt, nay, as to which we are
at present left only to unpleasant inferences.
These obscurities must be solved before we
can know ,oho among Us are invited to act,
and Uhat We are expected to do.
We appeal to papers representing the
various shades Of opinion which have con-
Cured in the call, to give Us the information
for the sake Of our people, that they may
know how to act. A perfectly frank under
standing becomes apatriotic movement such
as the present, and is necessary to its har-
mony and its success. Thus fur we Of the
South have not had the necessary erptana-
ttons." ....
It seems y us that the FIRST sentence Of the
above paragraph does not admit Of "unpleas.
ant inferences," or Of unsolved "obscurities. .
But, in all kindness, we must say that we
think that any person who could read and
employ the English language with the fa-
ciity that the editor Of the Enquirer did
during the rebellion to destroy the Union,
can easily understand ",oho" 'are invited" to
the National Convention, and "what they are
expected to do" by carefully reading the
call in another column. We also ask the
Enqmrer's attention to the highly patriotic
and antipartisan address, on the subject
signed by Messrs. JOHNSON, NIBLAck, and
others, and also to the leading article in to.
days REPUBLICAN. With such light before
him, the editor Of the Enquirer cannot go
astray unless he is determined to do SO. .r
