The New Orleans Commercial Bulletin
says that the Southern planters, prodting
by free labor, have now discovered that more
money can be made out of frcedman's labor
than from that of slave" For more than
twenty-five years the simple truth that slavery
was uaproftaJle, as well as immoral and un-
just, has been most earnestly enforced upon
the Shareholders of the South We rejoice
that they are at last opening their eyes to the
fact. Let them but accept it in its full scope

RIGmr ABouT FACE The Boston Adrer-
tiSer says it has some curiosity to see how
" Brick Pomeroy and his amiabe sheet, the
La Cross Democrat, will /" to the right-about-
face and support the democratic nominees.
1t is doubtless true that the Democrat, vile
and INSCRIPTIONS as it is, has an immense
circulation among the faithful and unterrfed,
and yields a great influence in the ranks of
its party. No later than in its issue of July
9th, it discourses of Seymour and Blair in
language as bad as if they were republicans.
1t speaks Of Seymour's characteristic soph-
istry;' of the fearful consequences of fol-
lowing Gov. Seymour's advice, Of his leaving
" the ploughholders to sweat and stagger and
starve under the load of taxation" of his be-
ing false and deceptive" of his no: having
the " courage to graphic with the question
Iof finance like statesman and patriot :"
md after speaking of Seymour's views, says,
can any man be honest who advises such a
policy as this2" In fact for long time
= Brick has aimed his missiles at Seymour
md Blair, all the Blairs come under like
condemnation. He says that for one of
hat pestilent Blair family" to talk about
he affairs of the democratic party, q" is the
most impudent thing of the day. " What
nave the Blairs in common with the demo-
cratic party4" "The young Blairs have been
ready and active co-workers with their father
in feeding his hate and minstering to his
thirst and vengeance against the democratic
party" OF the candidate for the vice-presi-
dency, he evidently has a poor opinion, and
INDUCES in maledictions in his usual elegant
style, but his two columns of vituperation
would be Improbable reading here. He in
dignantly asks, " has the democratic party
fallen so low 2"-and the inevitable echo an

From the Springfield Republican.
Another Victim.

The pitiabo condition in which the news Of
Thursday leaves Chief Justice Chase is anoth-
or illustration Of the folly and ruin which
political ambition produces. Had any man
predicted twelve months ago, that Mr.. Chase
would desert his old friends, his principles,
his reputation Of Il quarter Of a century, and
be found in the noisy vendue of democratic
convention, bidding for votes aud compliments
ing the men and the doctrines which he has
spent his life in opposing, who would have be-
leved it2 And yet, as we look back now, We
see how gradual have been the steps which
led him to this disgrace. Before the Ohio
election he was the champion Of negro suif-
rago--but no sooner did the populace Of his
state declare against equal rights for the col
ored man, than Judge Chase authorized some
newspaper TO announce that he did not regard
that as an important question at all. 1t was
the act of tmid and selfish schemer for
high place, and it gave his friends the first
warning of what they might expect Then
came the events of the winter-at first, the
bold course of Grant in opposition to the
president, by which he made it evident that
the republicans would and could depend upon
him as their leader in the presidential cam
paign This made it clear to Mr. Chase that
he could not receive the nomination of the re-
pubIicans, and so he resolved to divide the
party. Taking advantage of his position in
the trial for impeachment, he threw his whole
weight against the purpose Of the party, and
the good Of his country. He stood, from the
first, as we now perceive, as the champion Of
Andrew johnson, and we owe it to him, main
ly, that impeachment failed. But with it
failed also Mr. Chase's hope Of organizing a
third party which should hold the balance be-
tween republicans and democrats and of which
he was to be the chief After that nothing
was left for him but to join the enemy openly,
and this he made haste to do. But he did
not then expect to be dragged through the
mire Of reputation, and to abjure all his for
mcr political creed. He lanced that he could
influence his new allies to accept some Of his
former views and thus practically put himself
at the head of new party. This fancy also
proved false, and at last he was compelled to
fellowship Pcndleton and Morrissey, and to
hawk about his principles, cheapening them
till they could find takers, and thon-unspeak-
able shame the qaceless democrats desert
ed him and gave the nomination to Seymour
and Blair; Ct punishment in its terrible
humiliation, for the man who permitted his
ambition to take away his reason.

against the war; and against the principles

Gen. Grant does not make speeches. and
some consider oratory Indispensable to states
manship. But they demand entirely different
qualities. One requires the power to per-
suade, the other the power to rule. The build
er Of sentences is often far other than the
builder of States. A man may for years at
tack and defend various public measures with
vast learning and dexterty he will overflow
with language in showing show not to do it .
but is dumb when compelled to achieve an
immediate, wise, and possible result. Men Of
executive power, in all countries, have often
been preferred by the people to brilliant writers
and speakers. Washington, Jackson, Taylor
and Harrison were neither Of them orators
but their contemporaries and rivals were
among the most eloquent men of whom Amer
lea can boast. at is the nature of party in
England" says Lord John Russell, "to ask
the assistance or men Of genius, but to follow
the guidance of men of character" Cares
literary men and philosophers said Napoleon;
"but do not take them into your counsels"
But Gen. Grant acts eloquence; the
brave words Of other men he puts into deeds
what orators splendidly sag, he silently does.
Speech is silver" says the proved "but ST.

MEN OF Our TINES BY Mrs. Harrie
Beecher Stowe.

MEN OF Our TINES: BY Mrs Harriet
Beecher Stowe.
The above is the title of a new and elegant
work of nearly six hundred pages, written by
this popular author, and upon examination
we are convinced that it merits all the rich
encomiums pronounced upon it by the critic
and the press. 1t is first class work in ev-
cry respect, and embraces, in the clear and
graphic style of the author who is Sc well
nown in this country the lives and deeds of
the leading men of the day, including Grant,
Colfax and Henry Ward Beecher, (brother
of Mrs. Beecher Stowe,) with an accurate and
beautiful steel portrait of each. The por-
traits are admirable, and with the life of
Beecher, (which is the only one of him that
has ever been wrtten,) we should consider
them alone well worth the price Of the book.
4 A young student is about to canvass this
an opportunity of purchasing this work, which
is sold only by subscription. We make these
comments, not alone because we love, as we
always do, to help those who try to help them
selves, but because we find this rare excep-
ton to the many, and we might almost add
icorthleSs books that are scattered abroad in
this way, and can heartily recommend it as
an ornament to the parlor and valuable adj
dition to the library. We trust our young
friend will be successful.
