The Political Field.

Il
The recent elections have given much
food for reflection. There Is hiah'te'' ".
great degree Of independence OF 'eenns'
The old PARTIES are very closely matcheo.
The battle in the principal States IS very
mrch drawn one. The Democrats, WIFI
oil their follies, have come SO near sehe'"'
triumph that their advcrsaries cannon heip

hereafter by correcting their mistakes. we

changes. New isaues are being hatcheu'
new wants Of both commercial and aSricul'
tural communities are suggesting ne" pom.
cies and provoking new differences amongst
the sections. The party ties are slackenihS'
and the drill and discipline of party are
losing their efficacy.
These things indicate the transition state
between the anti-war politics and the pas
sions and parties of the war on the one sac,
and the new condition of the supremacy oil
the Federal power and the compact ana
solid force of the body of the American peo-
ple on the other. This transition state will
be brief. The nation is entering upon the
grand period of its greatest power ana re-
nown amongst peoples. 1t is entirely IN
compatible with that grand state that, III
the public character Of the natlon, there
should be confined the old issues and the old
Tancors. They must all pass away, and
they are passing away. 1t matters not, IN
considering these great national tendencies,
what men and what parties there are, ana
who triumphs and who does not. The over
ruling forces will compel them to conform
to the new political conditions of the nation.
We cannot shut our eyes to the fact that
these forces are at work, and will surely
bring the public action into entire con-
fo.mity with them.
1t is an interesting condition in which
Virginia is placed at this time. She has no
party alliances which can for moment EN-

the promotion Of the national welfare and
her own prosperity and happiness. A wise
forecast and a calm sclf-poSseSsiOn will keep
her in this condition until the happy mo-
Incnt arrives when she can throw her weight
on that side that promises the greatest good
for the nation, be it with the President or
any party that is or may be formed in the
Union.

The Poor Indian.

The Friends have prepared their report
on the condition Of the Indians and the
means by which they propose to make them
civilized. sell-supporting, and good citizens.
Chiefly, these are to discontinue the removal
of the Indians to new "hunting-grounds"
TO secure them in their present possessions
bv giving to each Indian certain quantity
Of land instead Of giving vast domain to
the tribe to prohibit sales for time to any
but Indians, and at the end of that time
to allow none but good and proper person
to buy and settle amongst them, for which
purpose commission should be appointed
to establish schools, educate the children.
teach the women TO sew and COOK ana do
al household work supply the men with
"tools and teams to break up prairie land,
"to haul lumber, build houses, and to per-
form other duties of similar character,
"under the supervision Of competent
and judicious person to encourage ana
" instruct them"
This ought to make civilized people out
of the Indians, if that be possible. But the
extensive and minute character Of these de-
tails is itself suggestive. Can people who
have lived on the borders of civilization for
so long a time become civilized when all
this is deemed, at this late day, necessary to
civilize themS We regret to say we be-
lieve not. We predict that all this effort.
al these appliances, will only result in in
creasing the woes of the red man, who is
essentially a "wld man." While failing to
l.; bor 70 q ,nrpha,
of sinecures and innumerable opportunities
TO profit by taking advantage of the Indian
and cllltching many Of the Government be-
nefces intended for his good. Need we say
that the rush to get the positions holding
out these advantages would be great In this
nation? The whole process would be only
placing the Indians, like cartridges, in
coop, where they could be used as wanted.
Thus conditioned. the things intended for
them would be intercepted by the cunning
ones without mourning the danger of losing
their scalps or having their throats cut, or
poisoned arrows shot into their backs-all
Of which threaten them when cheating
the Indians in their camps upon the wild
plains.
Without doubling the sincerity of the
friendly philanthropists, We consider their
well-meant policies as only helping to illus
trate the Darwinian theory of the gradual
disappearance of the inferior races before
the superior. The Indian will succumb and
die when brought within the area of civiliza-
ton. To place him there is but to hasten
his doom. He will live longer OIL the plains.
The only dignity of his nature appears as
he roams his hunting-grounds, in battle and
chase. Imprisoned within the bounds OF
civilization, he sinks into stupor and imbe-
cility.

AMERICAN ENGLISH. - Archbishop
Trench, in speaking of American Eng
lish," declares truly that it is "often old
English rather than bad English" and
this opinion, under various forms of ex-
preston, he several times repeats. He
even takes care to thank his American
cousins for preserving "freshet, snag,
bluff, kedge, slick, to whittle, to cave
in, to rile, to snarl, all of which he
finds in old English literature.
Most people have taken "slick" as n
pure Yankee invention; but Trench
quotes Fuller, who describes the New
Jerusalem as "fairer, finer, slicker,
smoother, more exact than any fabric
the earth afforded" Lowell cites
Chapman and Johnson for the same
word.
Even Yankee pronunciation is shown
TO be mainly that OF English some CEN
turtles ago. The Yankee preterites "riz"
LOT rose, give" for gave, "shet" for
smut, and "thriv," quit" "hetn and
pied, are proved to be very good ar.
chaic English.
