POLITICAL mETAMoRPHosEs

The Mechiavelian and time-serring char
aeter of the leaders Of the former Democratic
party, and Its legitimate offspring. the Con
perhead party Of the present day, has re-
quired Of the subscribers to their political
creed some Of the qucerest tergiyersations
ever known to political history. 1t was an
old and well known trick Of Democratic
leaders to advocate protection in one section
Of the country and free trade in another
during rne same caurpaigu, asfd pledge tneIT
candidates to both, though they invariably
turned out free traders when elected. Even
one short year ago it was no uncommon
thing to hear Gopperhead speakers demon

followers that the negro was not only of an
inferior race, but that be was utterly unit
to exercise the right Of suffrage, and it was
even doubtful If he had an immortal soul.

who had been for several wears confined in
the loathsome dungeon in the citadel of Oh
mutz,
Ii will, said Washington, readily oc-
cur to your Majesty that occasions NAV some
times exist on which official considerations
would constrain the chief of nation to be
silent aud passive in relation even 10 objects
which affect his sensibility and claim his in-
terposltion rs a man. Finding myself pre-
cisely in this situation at present., | take the
liberty at writing this private letter to your
Majesty, being persuaded that my motives
win also he my apology for it. = for
bear to enlarge on this delicate subject.
Permit me to only submit to your Majesty :
consideration whether his long imprison.
ment, aud the con6scation of his estates,
and the lndlgcnce and dispersion of his family
and the painful anxieties incident to all
these circumstances, do not form an assem-
blage OF suiferings, which recommend him
10 the meditation ofhumanity? Allow me,
sir, on this OCCASION to be its organ; aud to
entreat that he may be permitted to come to
this country, on such conditions and under
such restrictions, as your Majesty may think
1t expedlent to prescribe.
The request of our chief magistrate was
not 50 much as replied to, being treated on
the other hand with contemptuous indiffer-
ence. Lately, as is well known, the present
Emperor OF Austria, the successor of fFrancis
IL, appealed TO our Government in behalf
ofhis brother Maximiian, the Emperor of
Mexico, who was in imminent peril of losing
his life at the hand of his subjects. Our
Secretary Of State promptly sent messengers
to beg Juarez to spare the life of the Mexi-
can Emperor. We find no fault, as some
have done, with the humane action Of
Secretary Seward, for America can well
afford to heap Goals of fire upon even the
crowned heads of Europe. We prove to the
world that republics, such as this, are able
to forget injuries and to be always gener-

SO il happens that, With all the other mat

AProhihitorr L.innor I.a,r.

The State Temperance Convention which
assembled lately at Harrisburg, made proyi-
sion for drafting bill aiming ct the sup
preston Of the liquor traffic in Pennsylvania
At the time Of the session of the Convention,
it was conceded impolitic to ask for legisla-
tive action. Ii was deemed best 10 await
the working results Of the amended laws on
the subject of license to traffic in liquor If
these sesults show a reform and decrease
Of crime and suffering which usually and
unavoidably flow from the use of liquor,
then the temperance men would postpone
agitation, satisfied to await future changes
in public sentiment entirely to abolish this
usfarious trade. But it was proposed in
this Convention that a committee should be
appointed, which, in the meantime, should
prepare bill, to be presented to the Lsgis-
lature, the provisions Of which are to be
drawn with view to prohibitory objects.
Hon. John Cessna is the chairman Of this
committee, and, we understand, is engaged
in preparing this BILL He is an able lawyer,
and has had extensive practice as a legisla-
cor. No other man in the State could do
this subject greater justice II would be
judicious If nr. Cessna made his biz public
as soon as II is drawn, that the people may
have an opportunity to consider Its proYis-
ions before they elect legislators to give it

who kept them religiously, until he had

dred oaths heaped upon the head of the
