MIA, always FOR sale in the market, has been
snapped up by an eager purchaser in the

and mistaken nominations in . third. Ali
the causes doubtless were acting; but the
primary and most efficient cause is that the
leaders OF the dominant party-the peoples
teachers-have never taught their followers
one single lesson of justice. From Mr.. Lin
coin down to the last canvass speaker, the
cry and the argument has been, Do thus
much to save the party. Dole out this and
this measure Of justice, not for its own sake.
but because we must. The party needs it. !"
A people dragged with such opiates, the mo.
ment the burden Of the war and the weight
Of the danger is taken of, springs back to
its old hatred. Hence the easy victory Of rebels
in Ohio and Pennsylvania. While large
portion of the people have been ready for
any measure of justice, and would have fol-
lowed Lincoln to any hight of national hon.
or, another portion, poisoned by bis in6delity
to principle, has remained in just that equiv :.
ocai state of mind that left them an easy prey
to the Pendletons aud Vallandighams. Wade
reaps TO day the harvest of that party athe-
ism which he has sometimes countenanced,
and which his later and general fidelity has
not sufficed to neutralize. What shall we do?
Press bravely on. Impeach the traitor of
the White House. Men with white lips, who
call themselves statesmen. cry "Oh, no; that
will create sympathy for him and wreck the
party. Utter want OF selfrespect has
wrecked the party, nothing else. To bear
blows INTERESTINGLY may be clear duty for an
individual; it is death to party. The na~
ton has gazed on and seen johnson insult
and defy Congress. Men conclude that Con.
gress is either TOO stupid to understand or
too pusillanimous to resent the insult The
paracta that Senators and Governors pro.
pose now Is that we go on and invite more
Presidential insult, in hope that 80 the peo-
pie will pity Congress and hate ] ohnson 1t
is a fatal policy. Such PITY passes soon into
contempt. The old Wing party marched to
its grave in the fond conceit that its patience
would win sympathy. 1t found too late that
the masses disrusted lis foes, but despised a
Wing. Nothing but daring. courage, gal
lantry will win back popular sympathy.
Hang out the banner OF impartial suffrage
and rebel Acknowledgement on the out most
wall. Throttle the President Clean out
that nest of uncean hifds-the Cabinet.
Rally patriotism to the front. The disheart,
ening OF Bull Run was never wholly cured
till Grant moved on Richmond. Teach men
to forget Ohio and Pennsylvania in the blaze
Of hercer onset. Every other policy is
death-slow death. Slave masters despised
the Wing because they saw he feared them.
They respected the Aboli,ionist because they
saw he de6ed them Republicans will find
that the same feelings are at work now. As
an eloquent Western man says, "We have
abolished the slave. We haye not abolished
the MASTER This terrible truth Senators
are forgetting. The same policy of defiance
which saved us heretofore is our only re-
source now. 1t will COW rebels alike in Car.
Dina and Ohio; and it will teach rally aud
unite the people. No man doubts that the
North really means to exact the full results of
its victory. Act today SO a. to convince the
South that this is truer now than ever before.
WENDELL PHILLIPS.
An ill-natured fellow quarreled with his
sweet-heart onsthe day they were to be mar
RED. After the ceremony had begun, he was
asked;
''Do you take this woman to be your welded
Wife etc.
He replied" No"
What is the reason ~ asked the minister.
.i've taken dislike TO her, and that Q
enough was the surly reply.
] he parties retred-the bride in tears
and, after much persuasion, the groom was
induced to have the marriage proceed. 1t
was now the lady's turn, and when the min
lister asked the all important question
"No = said she resoutely, tive taken a
dislike to him.
The groom, admiring her spunk, made the
matter up with her as soon as possible, and
a third time they presented themselves before
the minister, who began the ceremony by
asking the rnsual questions, which were
satisfactorily answered this time. But to the
establishment of the party, the minister con-
tinued.
"Well I'm glad to hear that Won are willing
to take each other for husband and wife, for
it's good thing to be of forgiving tempers.
You can go now and get married where you
will will not tie the knot, for have taken
dislike to beth of you"
SHAKESPEARE, it seems, is now credited with
the discovery of the law of gravtation
shout which there has been so much dispute
with reference TO Newton and Pascal. A
correspondent ofthe Pail Nall Gazette directs
attention to the following passage In "Troilus
and Cressida," which is certainly ramarka'
BILE:
'.Bnt tho strong base and building of my low,
Is as tie very center oil the earth
Drawing all things to it.
Aud the writer observes that in the same
play We find the expression, True as thu
earth to its center" So that II would really
seem as if Shakespeare had anticipated New
ton bs hundred years or so in the discover,
OF one Of the greatest of natural truths.
