The established character of this road running as

Let JEFF. Davis Alone

If, III its cXultation over the general
Democratic acceptance OF lis new de
parture" notion OF platform, the New
York World has a particle of common
sense left, (says the Mobile Regi&teJ' it
will let JEFF. Davis alone. The Southern
Democracy have expressed their wiling
ness to leave the Northern and Western
section of the party TO shape the plan OF
battle for 1872, but they have not consent
ed to give up any of their own leaders
to immolatation under the pl;nlls Of that
platform. We are always prepared to
find Mr.. Davis and his colleagues calum-
mated in the Radical paper. 1t is their
vocation. But it is simply indecent in
Democratic papers like the World. 1t
may be very polite for the North, and
perhaps will tickle here and there Il Re-
publican voter; but VIC warn the World
and the Chicago Times that abuse Of Il
man who is no politician, processes to be-
long to no party, who is without a politi-
cal aspiration, and who is simply an cX-
Southern leader, in misfortune, is the
very reverse of polite in this section OF
the DEMOCRATIC vineyard. II is a sword
with double edge. II it cuts ole way
i'll the North, it cuts.keenly and deeply
in the South. While our Northern friends
are constantly enioining prudence upon
us of the South, lest we furnish capital
for Radical c:lmnnies, would it not he

If we have not many rights left us, we
certainly have some feelings. What is

4 Great Day in Berlin.

To-day, Tuesday 2Oth June, is taking
place the grand formal entry OF the vic
torious German army into Berlin-one OF
the grandest displays of the age. Cable
kilograms give vivid ideas of the pre-
parations which have been made TO grace
the entry Of the conquerors OF the war.
A route has beed chosen which admits OF
au enormous number OF spectators. Some
days ago English and American sight
seers had already arrived in great num-
bers-a sure sign that the spectacle in
preparation would be worth seeing. The
march is through the Inter den Linden,
the great thoroughfare of Berlin, an ave-
nue. sixty yards broad, and mile and
n half in length. Triumphal arches
adorned with notices and statues en-
blematic of the war are constructed along
the whole route. All the sovereigns of
Germany are there. This gorgeous mill
tary spectacle is meant for something
more than a snowy display. 1t is in
tended to commemorate the union in
arms and in heart Of all the sons and ma
tons Of Germany.
And France-poor France-lies. low
and bleeding!
