Our POLITICAL BULL RUN. look upon Mr.
Johnson said Senator Wilson in his speech at
Saratoga, "as look upon Bull run. 1t was a
great lesson to the country. Andrew Johnson
stands right there, and every time he undertakes
to do anything against the cause of liberty and
justice, the country rallies and goes further than
1t ever would have gone before" Mr.. Wilson's
speech, which we give ON our first page, is a
very good one; full of kind, cheering, and noble
words. He tells us how excellent the effect Of
the overthrow of the Presidents policy has
been upon the South, which, persuaded at last
that it is thoroughly and fairly beaten, is begin
ming to submit with very good grace He
predicts that the reconstructed States are
destined to become in very short time the
stronghold of ra1icalism, and assures us that
among the advocates of "equal rights for all
men," of suffrage for the blacks, North as well
as South, are Grant, and Sheridan, and Thomas,
and nearly every general who has made a
reputation.

TIE DooM OF DEMoCRAoY.-Says the New York
7r7bune:-"Democracy everywhere is a contra
diction, and new proof ofits absurdities is gwen
by the recent Democratic Convention of Marion
county, Indiana. The Indiana Democrats are,
firstly, opposed to negro suffrage secondly,
they think legislation should be in the interests
and for the benefit OF the laborng men. We do
not see how these propositions can be recon
ciled, and probably there is no desire on the
part of their sponsors that they should be. If
negroes cannot vote, what security have they
that legislation will protect them? The Demo-
Gratis, however, have an easy escape from their
dilemma; it is part of their creed that the
neg1o, in state of freedom, is not laboring
man, and the reports of the Freedmen's Bureau,
the industrial returns of the South are INSULT
cient to convince them of their mistake"

TIE RECENT PUBLIC BREAKEAsr IN LONDON TO
Mr.. LLOYD GABBIsoN.-The London Nonoonfor-
1ls referring editorially to the public breakfast
at 81. James Hall, London, given In honor Of Mr..
Lloyd Garrison, thus speaks in regard to that
gentlemsn:-"To the untiring zeal, self-sacri-
ice, and moral courage of this noble man, the
overthrow of American slavery is mainly due.
In MIR. Bright, the chairman of the meeting,
Mr.. Garrison found an eloquent and fitting
eulogist. The story oil Mr.. Garrison's life is one
which should again and again be read by the
young, and indeed by all classes in this age Of
unbelet II affords a vivid illustration Of the
immense power for good that may be welded
by man possessed of a vital principle and
thoroughly in earnest. We rejoice that Mr..
Garrison has received this tribute of approba-
tlon from our foremost statesmen and philsu-
thropists-not that he needed such honors to
enhance the value of the great work he has
performed, but in order that his example may
be more eflectually commended TO the English
people. An unforeseen accident has prevented
us from commenting on this interesting event
at the length we proposed, and we must for the
present reserve further remarks on theme
pregnant with instruction to all who desire to
promote the amelioration of their fellow-men,
and whose faith in the ultimate triumph of true
principles needs to be strengthened aud con-

THE ADVICE OF REBEL SHEEr.-Many of the
planters of Tennessee, acting upon the advice of
the Memphis Avalanche, threaten the colored
people whom they employ with dismissal unless
they consent to vote the conservative ticket.
This injustice is the greater, as in numerous
ca: es the colored men have been working for
share in the crops. The matter was brought
before General Carlin, who directs the Sub-Com-
missIoners to instruct the freedmen to vote as
they please, and to keep an exact record OF all
cases of dismissal

in his convictions. We believe that he was
perfectly conscientious in his views then ex-
pressed, and we believe him able enough not
to form his views without deliberation. We
would not insult him by imagining that he
has since changed his sentiments. We believe
that, had he the power to-day, he would de-
eide the same as he did then, and that he
desires to see his decree made the deoi-
sion of the Courts of the United States. In
other words, the gentleman who is now in
nomination for the high position Of Supreme
Judge, desires an opportunity to declare
waste paper all ''greenbacks' and national
bank" notes we hold in our hands. The
laborers' wages, saved with industrious care,
would, If he could prevail, be declared roll Of
worthless paper It the bankers capital be
transformed by legal magic from thousands
INTO pieces Of green-colored paper. From the
millionaire to the poorest mechanic, every citi-
zen of Pennsylvania would be a loser by the
success of Judge Sharswood's views. The
credit of the nation would totter. The prices
of everything would ascend in fabulous ratio
Labor would be useless, for there would be no
medium wherewith it could be reeompensed,
and penury and ruin would overtake thousands
We do not overdraw the picture. Judge
Sharswood declared that he did not consider
'greenbacls" legal tenders, and he considered
the issue of all "bills of credit" or all notes
to be used as circulating medium, "unconsti-
tutional." These are his own words; yet in
the face of them and their consequences, we
are told that politics ought not to enter into
judicial contest, and that we ignore justice
when we oppose Judge Sharswood because of
his political views
