The REPUBLICAN, PARTY AS IT Is.-Hon.
John Quincy Adams, in recent letter, ac-
cepting the Democratic nomination for Gov.
ernor of Massachusetts, makes the following
pertinent comments upon the condition and
and claims of the Republican, party. He
says:
'Thc only real claim of the Republican
party, of late, to public confidence, is by
parade Of trophies. Without head, or sys,
tem, or principles, it is held together only by
the life of decay-corruption Its system of
taxation is the most burdensome and the least
democratic in the world; its currency is the
robbery of the poor, while its vaunted reduc.
tion of the debt has only been accomplished
by cruel taxation, which doubles the burden
by taking two dollars from the people for each
dollar paid the public creditor.
"This scheme of imposts is deliberately
and craftily organized in the interests Of asso.
ciated capital alone, anu is ao ~. .-:-l,, :s -.
as papably, violation of every principle of
equal democratic government as was the cog
nate policy Of the same party, by which two
hundred millions of acres of the peoples
homestead lands have been given away to
railroad corporations. Thiscunningly devised
scheme will this year take FIVE or six hundred
millions of dollars from the people, and pay it
over to the capitalists who own your mines
and mills and furnaces and salt works, to al.
leviate their Improbable labors, as certainly
as if the tax was openly levied and bounty
avowedy paid. Under the same system our
ocean shipping is broken up and our ship
yards are closed, and the farming lands Of
New England no longer fetchcs the cost of the
buildings upon it. And that its conspicuous
merit in affordng protection to the American
workman from the pauper labor of Europe may
be apparent to the meanest capacity, almost
the only article which it admits duty free is
an unlimited supply Of cheap Chinese, i'm
ported in lots to suit capitalists"
EFFECT OF GOODNESS IN ACTIoN.-In
speaking Of the necessity for GOODNESS during
action, Colonel Woseley give an instance Of
staff officer who produced most excellent
effect on whole column of men under fire
BY carrying an order quietly through hot
bombardmont with cigar between his lips.
A similar story is told Of German officer in
one Of the battles before Metz. His men
we're suffering horribly, and he knew not how
to steady them till he saw one private soldier
smoking. The Colonel was struck by the ef.
feot produced on his own mind, and was wise
enough to walk up to the man and ask if he
would give him light for his cigar, Courageis,
nearly as Infectious as fear, and it is not only
the bravery Of excitemcnt but tho oalm self.
possession Of strong man, that holds men
firmly together at critical moment. ~'
