THE NEW REPUBLIC.

Napoleon sought to destroy Ger
man unity and fastcn Imperialism
more strongly upon France. He
has failed and is q prisoner, and the
French Empire is destroyed, and
from the ruins Of the Empire rises a
Republic. Already our government
has recognized tie new Republic,
and American sympathy is strongly
with the new Republic This brings
about new state Of affairs, and
shows that the war should now end,
as Napoleon and Imperialism of the
worst kind can trouble Europe no
more Whether France will DE able
20 keep up the Republic remains to
he seen. The best citizens Of Frsnce
are on the side Of the Republic. We
hope the effort may be, successful
And we hope that the movements
now going on In Spain and Italy
will result in giving to those coun-
tries Republics. Germany herself
may thus be led into the same path
way. King William could now add
a GROWING glory to his name by
leading Germany towards a Rcpup-
lie. AT all events. the war should
now close in an honorable manner.
1t will be hard for the Democratic
party to now sympathize with the
Red Republicans of France, Victor
Hugo, Ledru RolliA, Louis Blanc,
Jules Favre, and the rest, whom that
party has so long hated and de.
nounced. But the Democratic party
will probably give a half way en-
dorsement to the new Republic. and
continue to denounce the Red Re
pVblicans. Perhaps the "best minds
in the Democratic party have gore
over to the side of King William of
Prussia, hoping that lie will make
war against the French Republic
We believe that the preservation of
German unity against Napoleon is
a good thing, but wedo most hearth
ly rejoice that from the fall of the
French Empire has arisen Repub
lie. Long may it live!

REPUBLICAN CONVENTIONS

The Republican State Convention
of Illinois, held August 3lst, was a
splendid success in every respect.
Every county in the state was repre-
scented, and NIL are enthusiastic for
the platform and nominees. The
state of Michigan had its Republi-
can state convention Sep TENDER LIST,
and with the same unity and enthusi-
asm. These two states stand high
in prosperity, and are strongly Re
publican. Bot h conventions adopt
ed the same political principles, and
did not declare "the war failure"
or fill up their resolution with
''Dead Sea apples"-fair on the ont.
side, and all ashes within. The plat
forms declare the party in favor Of a
'srevenue tariff" but against enact
ing "revenue laws for the special
advantage of one branch of bust
ness at the expense of another"
Both conventions adopted strong
resolutions Of sympathy with the
brave efforts of the German people
against invasion and spOliation by
the imperial despot Napoleon. The
platforms refer to the past history
Of the Republican party, and in par
ticular to the administration of Pres
ident Grant, and present facts and
figures that are the pride and glory
of every true hearted, progressive
citizen of the country. The Michi-
gan conv ention pointed with honor
to the fact that more than one mil
lion and half of the state. debt has
been paid. and that the taxes have
been reduced since 1867 nearly five
hundred thousand dollars. We read
such resolutions, containing facts
and figures, with a supreme con-
tempt for the platitudes and moth
ings" presented in resolutions Of
the defunct Democratic party. The
great states of Illinois and Michigan
are progressive, and. hence grandly
Republican. With these States now
stands Indiana, progressive, free
from debt, and rising with a pure
reputation and noble history duling
a Republican administration of af
fairs. The campaign throughout
the west is now one Of earnest con-
test. Let the state of Indiana move
with her sister states of Illinois and
Michigan. May the dark days of
.'Copperhead" rule never settle
down upon these states. We do
not believe they will.

RInSTER

The Democratic "riDg" of Marshall
county has undertaken to carry the coun-
ty by buster. They brag and boast and
claim marvellous majority, and attempt
to make the rank and fill believe that the
Republican party is everywhere smashed
10 pieces by discussions, and that there Is
an immense turning over to the Demo
cratic party going on throughout the
county. This lie a game that tells with a
certain class of people, the class that
makes up the greater part of the Democ-
racy of this county. or course the lead
crs know better--but they will resort 10
any trick that they think will win. We
have listened in vain to hear a solid argu-
n,cnt or valid reason in favor of the con-
tiauance of the dominant party in power.
We have heard nothing but buster. We
have read the editorials OF the Democrat
but have found noiEing but buster from
beginning TO end. The game seems TO be
to carry the county, if possible, by "blow
and buster TO buster all people In the
county into perfect obedience to the in
satiate "clique." We hope that those
who are at heart in favor of a reform in
this comfy will thoroughly understand
this game of the "ring," and expose il at
every point. The decrease in the num-
Der of Republicans in this county by re-
movals, of course makes our strength less;
but while Republic: . leave this region
of" the plains" there are conservatives
and Democrats who are deeply sensible of
necessity of change nithe adminislra-
ton OF affairs, and with the proper unity
and effort on our part we can defeat the
".brags' game by circulating documents
and Increasing intelligence. We regret
that so many earnest Republicans come TO
the conclusion that they cannot stand the
political miasma of this county and leave
it-but this fact makes our work greater
and Notwithstanding all the efforts of the
corrupt clique " to put on q bold front,
they well know thatI. victory.,is by no
means theirs.

The last official deliverance of the Den

The last official deliverancc of the Dem
ocratIc party on the tariff is contained in
the following, from the National Demo
cratic platform framed in the city of New
York, in July 1868.
"a tariff for revenue upon foreign i'm
potts, and such equal taxation under the
Internal Revenue law, as sOiU afford
incidental protection to domestic
manufactures, and, as will, xithout i'm
pairing the revenue impose the least
burden upon, and best prone te and en-
courage, the great industrial interest Of
the country.
This is declaration for high tariff.
1t was framed Oh purpose for the ''protec-
ton" Democrats of Pennsylvania. The
fact is. the Democratic party is simply a
party with no consistency, and merely a
party fer fault finding and grumbling.
