The organization known as the Grand Army of
the Republic, seems to have been perverted from
its original and avowed object, which was that of
benevolent and patriotic order, to secret politi
cal organization. Secret societies organized to
secure public Offices, contrary to the genius of
our institutions. They rarely hold together more
than two or three years. Public opinion keeps
up constant attrition against them,the members
get to quarrelliug amongst themselves, and finally
they fan to pieces and are heard of no This
will be the case with the Grand Army of the Re-
public if its main purpose continues to be polft-
cal-Chicago Tribune.
1t was not started for any other purpose
than "a secret political organization" We
are glad to see the Tribune, even at this late
day, acknowledge the truth in regard to Sc,
crel political organizations of all kinds-no
matter of what party.

mean that it has originated the proverb which
expresses the uttermost extent OF meanness,

The decision of the supreme court that
people may employ such minister to preach
to them, such teacher to instruct their chill
dren, and such attorneys to transact their
business, as they shall deem most capable
and worthy of their confidence, without inter-
ference, is so entirely in accordance with the
primary rights of citizens proclaimed in the
Declaration of Independence, secured by the
Constitution, and exercised by every commu-
nifty of freemen in our republic since it was
established, that any surprise at the decision
only indicates an ignorance of the first prin-
ciples of the liberty enjoyed by the people of
this nation, or perfect Indifference to them.
The wonder is, that, in the plain face of the
constitution, these rights should ever have
been. disputed, or any attempt made to
abridge them. The assumptions Of unlicensed
authority growing ont of the war, are being
corrected and it is hoped, for the peace of
the country and the welfare of all, that law

DEMOCRATIC LECTURES.

Finding to their cost how futile thing it is to
give up the field TO the enemy without something
of a fair fight for it, and realizing what a power
full influence the lecture system has had from the
first in favor of fanaticism, by Systematically SOW
ing the seed broadcast and carefully tending its
growth, the Democratic Young Mems Assocla-
ton have come to the wise determination, late In
the day as it is, cultivate that same field IN the
future themselves. They think the radicals have
had it unchallenged a little too long. According
lv, series of lectures have been arranged by the
managers of the association, to be delivered IN
this city by distinguished democrats and conserya-
tives, who will promugate sounder doctrines reia-
tive TO the constitution live under, and impress
upon the more youthful minds of the community
sentiments more in accord with the spirit OF the
fathers, which nobody in his sober senses can de
nv SHOULD be the spirit of the age" Much good
is anticipated from this experiment. The general
wonder is, as is always the case with the stable
after the horse has been stolen why the thing was
not attempted before.
The course of lectures thus laid out in
cludes some of the finest intellects in this
country, and it wouldn't hurt the Y. NJ. l.. A
of Rock Island to invite some of the speakers
here.
