GGREVIVENG.,,

The Banner in its persistent adherence
to the Independent movement in this
Congressional district, which was the most
successful failure of the age, accuses the
UNION AND AMERICAN of disposition to
revive the controversy about the CoLgres-
sional election Not so. The issue of the
Banner, which has not by editorial OF
quotation, too direct 10 be overlooked,
referred TO that election, is heexceptiop,
not the rule. Our duty TO the Democratic
ticket and The Democratic people has de-
manded that the UNION AND AMERICAN
should reply tothose frequent articles, writ,
ten evidently and Enthusiastically IN condem
nation of the voice of that great major
ity of the Democracy of The Fifth Dis
trict which cSst their votes for the nOmi-
naes of the Convention, from John {.
Brown, for Governor, to VIM. Moore,
for Foater. Although We scarcely know
some of them personally, we know them
all as Representatives of the Nationsl
Democracy, and rejoice in the election of
each and sll of them alike-Brown, Col
laday, Merritt Vaughn, Taylor and
Moore. We say a hearty "God bless
you" to each, to all Of them.
Not because of the personal name
that either bears; not because of
the relation of eli her or all TO this
or that old party, but simply and purely
because each is representative Of the
great principles which the people Of the
South worship next to that Divinity who
is the medium of the souls salvation.
Again and again, We say three times
three 10 the National Democracy aud lis
ticket, here and everywhere. The TIL
umph of one is the triumph of all.
The defeat Of one would have been TO
that extent the defeat Of all.

Ave yesterday received q letter from our

President of the United States, who in
forms us that ''the UNION AND AMERICAN
is daily read by me cousin Ulisses, Bridget
and the howl Cabinet" He says that sit
has caused many laugh for the other
Numbers of the Cabinet, and an angry
growl from me respected cousin Ulisses,
the President of the United States. Me
cousin Ulisses had niver seen before me
confidential letthers, written in the haste
of business TO Misther PummeTy, because
he refuses TO take Misther Pumnery's pa
per upon the ground that Misther Pun
merry is accused of belonging to the tee
towtle society, which il it were thrue,
would not only lose him the patronage Of
me cousin Ulisses, but also of meself and
| Bridget and the other numbers of the
Cabinet He further says that 'sthe
Honorable Attorney G;neral, being the
only mimber of the Cabinet from
the Southern States, insists that
me little confidential communications, be
cause of their great popularity in the
South or the UNION AND AMERICAN
would not have published them---shall be

net mating, but as me cousin Ulisses ant
ali the Cabinet, except Bridget and me
self, were candidates for PRESIDENT anC
United States Senator, 1t was voted that
they should be published, me cousin
Ulisses carrying his pint that they should
not be sent free, but sowld at $3.50 {

mating that B. Butler, not your Butler,

accompany the funny places. /"
Terence writes rather an indifferent

his orthography, butwe have translated il
according TO the best Of cur ability. We
know from what we can decipher thai
these inimitable letters will be published
in book form in two or three weeks, illus

THE New York Stn says, in discussing
the Wanted reduction of the national
debt: Secretary Boutwell, takes the
money wrung from an excessively taxed
nation, and applies it to the eXtinguish-
ment of liabilities not YET due, while
Grant looks on, smokes his everlasting
cigar, and complacently asks the Republi-
cans to renomiIate him because he has
been paying off the public Indictment

can not be surpassed by any professional

AMONG the political reforms of the day,
il has been suggested, and, in some quar-
tiers, urged, with considerable zeal, that
our Cabinet Ministers should be invested
by law. with the duty and privilege of
holding seats in the lower House of Con-
press, from whence they might have an
onnortunity to make personal explanations
and statements touching the operations OF
their several Departments.

The New York Herald, in an editorial
upon the political outlook for 1872, il
which the present Generalization of the
Radical party is plainly set forth, says :
The outlook to-day is with the Demo
crazy. New York has advocated, strength
ened, disciplined, regenerated the party.
As New York goes, so viii go the Union;
and unless the influences which have led
to this contamination, through so many
dangers and trials and disappointments,
are checked by similar action on the par
of Gen. Grant and his friends, it is MOI
difficult to see a Democratic victory in
1872 as decided as that which made Mr.
Buchanan President in 1856"

The Philadelphia ArguS says: Judge
Cadwalader, in charging "a Jury in the
District Court, has asserted very ancicn,
and familiar principle, viz: That before q
lnan is convicted of criminal offeuse,
there must be some proof that he has com
mitted if. Our Radical contemporary,
contest this time-hOnorcd and self-eyidcnI
principle, because, they say, it was ALTERED
by an act of Congress THIS reminds u'
of the quack doctor in Molicre's play
when told that the heart of the patienr
must be on the left side, he replied ooh
we have changed all that nous GroRs
c6onoe 5out celia. There are some
things. however, which, the constitution
of man and the Constitution Of the United
States, prevent Radical quacks from
changing. Among them, we hope, is this
ancient principle of law"

The Warrington Patriot asserts there
is no doubt that the English mission was
rendered 10 Congressman Schenck at the
earnest solicitation of Senator Morton.
Mr.. Schsnck, like Senator Frelinghuysen
and others, hesilates about accepting 1t,
because the signs of the times indicate
that whoever shall accept that position
will enjoy but brief sojourn abroad.
The certainty that the present term is all
there is 10 be of the Grant Administra-
ton moi make the English mission desir-
able, Grants successor will come IN TWO
wears. and whether political foe or pollti-
cal friend, a new representative will be
sent TO the Court of st. James. The sac
riice, therefore, on the part OF any man.
of sufficient capacity TO represent the
Government abroad, is more than equal
10 the compensation. The duration OF
the mission will be so brief that it must
be utterly proftless, either in point OF
reputation or money. Few RADICALS are
willing to accep; it on these accounts
