question now before the people is Reve-
nue. Reform And to bring about the
necessary reform in the collection and
disbursement of the revenue, Il new par.
ty, neither Democratic nor Republican,,
Is, in the opinion OF the Tribune necessa-
~. Other papers, and among the nnm-
Der the New York EOening Post, in favor
of Revenue Reform, think the reform can
be brought about better in the Republic
an party than by the formation OF a new
party. And such seems to be the gcner-
III opinion of the Revenue, Refnrmers.
The meeting in favor of the, formation of
new party was not generally attended
by those in favor of the reform, and those
who did attend failed to form . new par
Sy.
g There is q gain of Revenue Reformers
in Congress, but whether they will be in
the ascendancy in the House and be able
TO CONTROL legislation on the subject is
quite doubtful. Before another issue Of
the TELEGRAPH, Congress will convene,
and we may as well wait till the strength
of parties in favor of Revenue Reform on
the one hand, and of Protection on the
ether, is made manifest. That Revenue
Reform and Protection will be kept In
view by the friends OF each in the cleo
ton Of Speaker there can be no doubt.
But that it will divide either the Repub-
lican or the Democratic party in the
House is quite uncertain. And until one
party or both parties are divided in the
House there is but little prospect of the
formation of new party.
The Republican party being party of
progress, and having made rapid pro-
gress ever siuce it became distinctive
party, there is good reason to believe it
will continue to make rapid progress,
and will accomplish every desirable re-
form as speedily as is practicable and
desirable The Republican party has
controlled, as far as human power can
control the dcstinies Of the nation
through the most trying period of its ex-
istence.r And it has brought the country
safely through its trials. and now it
stands as nation far higher among the
nations of the earth than it has ever done
before. Having accomplished so much
in SO short a time, it would be neither
philosophical nor generous to suppose
that it's work was done and it's mission
ended On the contrary, it would be
more philosophical and more generous to
suppose that more noble work and q
more glorious mission await it. Having
been faithful with ten talents committe ed
TO its charge, it would be more philo-
sophlcal and generous to expect that the
Ruler of Nations. instead Of taking away
the ten talents, would entrust it with a
hundred or thousand, thereby prolong
ing its occupancy and increas
ing its usefulness ten or hundred
told. And we are inclined to receive
and act upon the philosophical and gen
erous view of the subject, Believing
that the work of the Republican party il
not done and that it's mission is not ended
we shall expect it to pursue the right az
it is given to see the right until, many
governmental abuses are removed and
many desirable reforms are accomplish
ed. And, in order to remove abuses and
secure reforms, we deem IT the duty OF
Republicans, not only to give credit
wherecredit is due, out to condemn wher-
ever wrong exists, even though in their
own party and by their own servants.
The Republican party right or wrong, is
not the Republican motto. The Repub-
lcan party when light, and when not
right TO make it right, should be the Re
publican motto. And with this motto,
carried into execution by the Republican
party, there is no need of new, party.
