/ November next promises to be memor
able epoch IN the political world on bott
sides OF the Atlantic. In that month We
elect, on this SIDE, d President and Vice
President of the United States for the reg
ular quadrennial period of office In tht
same month the british people elect
new House oil Commons. Peculiar circum
stances will render both these national
elections exceptional; but in each case the
struggle Tor victory between contending
parties will be substantially of the samt
kind. The struggle will be virtually one
OF progress against reaction In England
the Liberals represent the former Brinci
1 ple-the Tories che latter in this country
the Radicals so called, are the party OF
the future, with all its bright hopes-the
Democrats the representatives Of the dead
past, with all its sad memories. In both
cases an appeal is to be made to constltu-
encies greatly enlarged by the recent en-
| reimbursement of hundreds of thousands
1of loyal men from whom their birthright
has been hitherto unjustly withheld by
means Of class legislation, and in both
wicked attempts are being madeto defeat
the cause of right by the raising Of false
issues. In England the Tories have start
ed the No Popery cry, IN llie hope of
thereby misleading the ignorant and IN
thinking masses; here thcwretcheds slogan
of "a White Mans Government is the
WatchWord with which the Democracy
advance to BATTLE depending upon a mis-
cradle prejudice to achieve that from which
enlightened reason instinctiveIy recoils
But the friends of freedom, and Of equal
rights for all are eminently hopeful as to
the issue of the pending conflict, although
alive to the fact that the fight viii be
hard one. We published yesterday Dor
ton Of the powerful and telling speech
with which the distinguished leader of
the Liberal party in England has opened
the campaign there, and it will be felt by
every one VINO reads his utterances that
his trumpet has given forth no UNCERTAIN
sound. +" Dealing with the question of the
dlsestablishment and disendowment of
the Irish Church, and with reference to-
the charge which had been brought
against the party he leads,of having form
ca an unworthy alliance with the Roman
Catholics Of Ireland, Mr.. Gladstone con.
tends that 1t IS not for religious purposes
peculiar either to the one side or the other
mat the English Liberals have espoused
th9 cause OF their oppressed Irish fellow
su9Jects, but for purposes OF civil Justice. |
ana Tor the promotion off great national
common both to England and
ireland. The present Liberal movement |
N England is intended to serve not mar
rev sectional, but comprehensive national
e 81 which can only bepromoted through
she triumph Of justice. So with us here:
.he fepubhean party, the party oflIberty,
7 me natlonal party, and the policy we
support IS the policy which, by insuring
ne permanent tranquility of the South
.hrough the operation Of laws guarantee
lg clYil justice and equal political rights
q an classes, will most assuredly advance
'ur national well-being in the widest
'ense, Il IS painfully suggestive that the
MY post IN which the parallel fails is,
'AaF while across the waters the sons of
feland are found fighting side BY side
