And while these acts Of the Republican party
have excited discontent the speeches, me-
naces and loose talk of many of its most I'm,
fuential members have done still more in the
same direction. The threat constantly held
over the South that, if it does not take this it
shall be forced to take something worse:-the
menaces of confscation;-the bullying inso-
lence which such men as Wade, Chandler,
Nye, Ashley, and men of their stamp, mistake
for statesmanship, and the COARSE vulgar,
and offensive tone they habitually adopt
towards all who differ from them in opinion;
the evident purpose of leading political mana
gers to perpetuate their own power by exolud-
ing the South from all share in the Presiden-
tial election;-the fulsome laudation and ser
vile syoophancy displayed on every occasion
and in every relation, towards the negro, and
the open, undisguised contempt with which
the pretensions of white men, even to an
equality of faculties, privileges, and rights,
are treated by some of the fanatics who claim
TO be Republican leaders-these are among
the things which have helped to disgust thou
sands of the calmer and more consderate
members of the party, and to hold them
aloof from the political contests of the day.
These are faults that ought never to have
been committed. If the party had not been so
strong in numbers and in position, its leaders
never would have ventured upon such expert
ments. 1t has been betrayed by overconf-
dence into arrogance and injustice. Its temper
has been harsh, overbearing, and cruel, in
stead of generous, liberal, and magnanimous;
and, as always happens in such cases, it has
been quite as timid and subservient in regard
to its self-assumed leaders, as it has been
remorseless towards those who were in its
power. The party in the French Revolution
which was most ferocious in its dealings with
the helpless victims of its fury, trembled and
covered beneath the lash Of Marat, Danton,
and Robespierre. Political human nature is
not changed by lapse of space or time.
What is wanted, therefore, to give the Re-
publican party its old strength, is not any
change in its fundamental principles or aims,
but better temper and calmer mindless
intolerance and greater moderation. 1t is the
party, and the only party, which represents
the advancing sentiment of the age-which
aids the cause of political progress and re-
spends to the higher aspirations and nobler
aims of each successive political generation.
This is it's strength, and if wisely used, this
will give it permanent hold on the confidence
and support of the people. The Democratic
party has made no progress in either. 1t is
the party of reaction-of reaction not only
against the mistakes and needless imprudences
of the Republicans, but against the principles
and ideas which have become an essential
part of the very framework and substance OF
the nation. Nothing can give such party
even temporary triumph but the blunders
ard wrongs into which too great success may
betray its opponents. All that is needed now
is that these be promptly and thoroughly re-
deemed.

which the whole Republican press of the
country have ignored and denied to exist up
to last week. We would gladly be told what
symptoms of the reaction existed last winter
clear enough to convince the Ohio Legislature
eight months in advance Of the facts, while all
other Republicans yield with difficulty to the
evidence of the facts themselves. But this
wonderful foresight is implied in the ITibune'S
claim of self-sacrifcing political virtue; for if
they saw no danger, they of course ran no
voluntary risk.
In good TRUTH so far from its being any
merit in the Republican party to have sub
mitted the negro suffrage question anywhere,
it is an indelible disgrace to them that they
did not submit it eUerywhere. Negro suffrage
is the hinge of the whole Republican policy; it
is what they most value in the Reconstruction
laws; it is the vital breath of the party. 1t is
a gross absurdity and a monstrous injustice to
force this measure upon the South where
negroes are numerous, and refuse it at home
where they are few, and its adoption would be
comparatively harmless. If my family insists
that for my neighbours good, to disinfect his
house and purify the air of the neighbOrhood
they will explode ton of gunpowder in his
dwelling, it does not become them to run
screaming about the room when it is proposed
to explode few thimblefuls to perfume their
own home. The rejection of negro suffrage in
the North is a virtual Remuneration of the
principle, and exposes the attempt to force it
on the South as piece of hypocritical tyranny.
The Tribune finds satisfaction in the fact
that so large portion of its party voted for
negro suffrage in Ohio. Will it give us some
good reason why it should not be satisfied with
hope of the future adoption of negro suffrage
at some distant day in the South, as well as
with distant hope in the North

italy md Rome.

Fronl The N. Y. Tribune
Garibaldi, the Government of Italy, and the
Court of Rome entertain hopes widely different
on the issue of the present revolution, and the
dispatches emanating from the three different
parties of the Italian people accordingly vary.
There is the usual discrepancy with regard to
many facts. On the whole, however, we are
better informed on the actual condition of
affairs in Italy than we are on most of the
other great complications in Europe. One
great fact towers above all the discrepant
statements of details, and is more or less ad-
mitted by all parties: the insuficiency of the
Papacy to save the temporal power without
foreign aid. The Italian Government expresses
no less than Garibaldi the ardent desire to
consummate the national unity by the anneXa-
tion of Rome; the representatives of the peO-
pie, in Parliament assembled, have for many
years been almost unit on this question; the
Papal forces, compared with the army and the
militia of Italy, are insgnifcantly small and
the result, therefore, of conflict between the
Italian and the Papal Governments could not
for day be doubtful
The temporal power to-day still exists only
because it receives the support of France. No
other Government OF Europe could be of equal
service, should the supper of France be with
therefore, depends in the first place on the
attitude of France, and in the second on the
continuing Difference of the Italian Govern
ment to the behests of France.
We have had during the past few DAYS seve-
raj cable dispatches on the Intentions of Louis
Napoleon. 1t was first stated that the rela
tions between Italy and France were of an up
friendly character that Italy had appealed to
the great powers of Europe against the Sep
tember Convention, and that this appeal would
have the support of Prussia. later despatch
informed us that the conferences of the
Italian Ambassador with the Emperor at
Biarritz had led to important concessions on
the part OF France, that Italy would be allowed
to take possession of the Papal provinces, and
that the city of Rome should remain under
the temporal rule OF the Pope only until
the death of Plus TX, when the temporal
power was to cease altogether. Too little
Is thus far known of the negotiations between
Italy and France TO allow us to form a
definite opinion of the accuracy OF these state
menta. II is, however, probable, from the

,,eIl- known sNspoleonic ideas" Of Louis Napo
leon. that he will not be found nnexlDle es
regards the union with italy OF the county,
distriots of the Papal States, but that, on the
other hand he will interpose an absolute veto
a. tbe annexation of the city of Rome. The
Fmperor has, on more than on one occasion,
admitted the maadministra6on of the Papal
states, and expressed his own wish for the
seoularization of the Roman Government. But
he has been equally emphatic in expressing
his desire that the Pope shall not become the
subject of the King of Italy, aud that his
entire independence shall be guaranteed by all
the Roman Catholic Governments. In the
Napoleonic theory of government, the Church
holds an important place as one of the most
powerful agencies which the chief of State
can use for the consolidation of his power,
and it must therefore be expected that Louis
Napoleon will cling with great tenaoity to the
maintenance of some kind of independent
domain for the Pope. We, therefore, doubt
that he has consented to the adjustment of
the temporal power on the death of Plus TX.
The Italian Government, notwithstanding
its despicable servility, chafes against the can
tinuance of its bondage. It is sure to make
the utmost exertions to extort from Napoleon
some concessions. But it will hardly 90
further. Nothing in its conduct encourages
the hope that it will dare to make manly
and open stand for the rights of the Italian
udllOus we uOuDJ Jn6 news announced In
cable despatch published yesterday, that Victor
Emanuel will soon pass the Roman frontier,
and proclaim Rome as part of the kingdom.
He may, with the permission of France, annex
the country districts, but he will STOP we
believe, before the gates of Rome.
In the meanwhile the immense excitement
which has again seized the Italian nation can
not fail to promote the political education of
the people. Even journals which are not

the enthusiasm for him spreads like wildfre,
and is irrepressible. General Cialdini is said
to have reported to the Government that SEN

the widest circulation in the army. This pro-
motion of liberal sentiments, we are sure, will
be found to be one of the lasting results of the
present revolution.
