SINCERITY.

II has often been asserted that the
only object The Democrats had In their
efforts TO Dust the radical party from
power and place, was to secure and en-
10y the emolumentS OF Office. This WAS
Indignantly denied by us. The LibCr-
ais have helped us out Of ascrape and
presented an opportunity OF testing our
sincerity; and we trust the Democrats
may Ne generous, and give to the libsr.

Gently generous individual means, uu.
less he Is limiting at the organization Of

very much like Artemus Ward, who
was willing to shed the blood OF all his

are II decided minority In each House,
We fall to perceive what Offices are with
In their gift. Seeing further that the
liberal wing OF the Republicans hold
the balance ofpower between the other
wing and the Democrats, they are
In a position to grant, not accept,
favors. OF course tho liberals are
masters OF the situation and able to
dictate their own terms In tho organi-

aglne that In such matters az that they

ofthelr Republican brethren; much less,
We imagine, will they put themselves
In the attitude Of receiving favors from

Will receive them, we presume, 10 far
