THE CoLIEoIAN.-We gladly welcome into
the world of journalism the periodical that
bears this name. It is a semi-monthly, eight
page sheet, published at Washington College,
Virginia, by the students and alumni. There
are similar papers published in various North
.ern colleges, and the advent.o this, the first
enterprise of the sort in the South, we are glad
to notice. Here is what the editors say for
themselves in their salutatory:
The development of literary talent among the
students isfhe main object of its publication. An
effort also will be made TO make il medium of
communication between the college and its alum
INTO strengthen the tie that binds them together,
and TO promote the interests of both. We wish,
also, as students, To communicate with the stu
dents of other colleges throughout the United
States. Ignoring sectional controversy. we wish
to Join with them as fellow stu1 Tents in the peace
ful walks Of science and literature. We wish to
know what IL being done In the educational world;
what ,men, what ideas. what systems now bear
sway. and what is the direction of educational
progress throughout our country.
This paper will undoubtedly be one full of
interest to literary men all over the country
Some of the articles in the first number bear
the stamp of merit; We shall look for its
future appearance with much pleasure. The
terms are 50 so per year, single copies 10

The Republican continues to grow humor-
ously il sensed, and angrily humorous, be-
cause the Louisiana electors did not supple
ment their duties with an oath of Office The
Republican, like its party, seems to have a
particular fondness for oaths. 1t regards
them as the necessary part of official exist
ence; tie Summum bonilm of official action;
the only safeguard of the State against that
treason which is supposed to be reconcile in
every Democratic bosom, and that {" dis
loilty which is presumed to be inherent in
the Democratic nature. Now, there is
nothing more nonsensical than an oath,
except the importance which the "trooly
loil" Radicals attach to it. Oaths of Office
are'well enough as ferns; but they are forms
which, when they are invested with any pecu-
liar signifcancy, mean only that one part of
the community shall swear itself out OF coun-
tenance, or be sworn out of Office by another.
But the whole discussion as to the electors,
and the oath which they did not take, and
which they are accused of contumaciously
and "disloilly" declining to take, is entirely
superfuous. There is no necessity for them
to take an oath, because no law provides for
the manner of administering, or for the person
by whom it shall be administered. Unless
these vicarious gentlemen should fall to
work swearing at each other as terribly as
Uncle Tobys army in Flanders, they would
find it difficult to fulfil the Republicans idea
of their duties.

WHAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
HAS DONE.

We are in favor of giving the Democratic
party credit for all it hos ever done Nor
is it hard to do this for the facts of its ca
reer are spread over history as are the ca
lamities which it induced now felt by every
man, woman and child in the country.
Glenni w. Schofeld, affords the testimony
of what the Democratic party has done, and
takes four years of Democratic career under
James Buchanan to show up It's record.
He points to the gallows upon which they
inundated old John Brown, a brave but
daring enthusiast of human freedoms bat
its victim is more honored to-day than its
cruel architects. Just beyond is the Dred
Scott decision, rendered in violation of pre-
cedent, law, and Constitution for the bru.
talization Of four million Christian people.
1t has no friends now. Further on you be-
hold the Missouri compromise-our fathers
bond of Union-tbe peace offering of its
day, repudiated, broken, and trampled un-
der foot that the inhumanity of the hour
might be without restraint Standing
around it, as fit witnesses of the wrong, are
the border rufian war, the ''Lecompton
viliany, and the small tyrannies Of Pierce
and Buchanan. Still further down this
dreary history stands the fugitive slave
law, to which every Democratic knee was
wont to bow. Its manacles are broken.
It's bloodhounds no longer bay upon the
track of its victims No garlands crown
its ugly brow. 1t has no worshippers, no
admirers, no defenders, no apologist even.
All have sneaked away. These are the
monuments of their administrations. Du-
ring all these weary years rothing was done
by the predominant party to elevate and
honor labor, to educate the poor, to lift up
the fallen, to endow the landless, or to soft
en- the cruelties OF bondage You cannot
point to single act that anybody will cele-
brate, that anybody willhonor, that anybody
will remember ever except with regret or
shame. lScuto Guard.

THE whole country will be rejoiced to
learn that Commissioner Rollins of the In
ternal Revenue Department is now likely to
continue in office until the close of the pres
ent Presidential term. The copperheads
have been making desperate efforts to have
him removed so that the patronage of the
Department might be used by them for cleo
tioneering purposes. This nice little game
seems at last to be permanently blocked,
thanks to the sensible and honest opinions
of Attorney General Eyarts. Commissioner
Rollins has filed his present position with
probably more aceeptableness to the whole
country than any other Of the Department
officers, not breath Of suspicion having ever
been attached to his name either in the way
of dishonesty, nor What is now so very COM
mon, making political use of his position,
May so hOnored and deserving an officer
long be continued in the responsible position
he now occupies His emoval was sought
alone for political reasons and the effort has
met the failure it so justly merited
