Is 1T A RAILUREl

0ftentimes, during the past ten years,
the thoughtful citizen has caught himself
asking-Is the Am ericsn system Of self
government after all a failure? The
truth is, every form of human govern
ment has its drawbacks as well as bene-
fits. Ours is no exception. OF late
years we have had an excess of the draw
backs. A republic is based on the wis
dom of the masses; when the masses run
mad il makes an Indifferent sort of gov
eminent. This, however, argues moth.
ing against the form. Nor is it any ex-
cuse for yearning towards consolidation.
The body polite is liable to distempers
like the body physical. A democracy,
however, possesses more Uis nature,
more recuperative powers, than mon
arohy. As simpler organism, it is
more readily adjusted. A vicious mon
arch is an evil of indefinite duration. A
vicious administration of republic has
bat limited term of power. The least
sAngnine among US recognizes the posi-
biliiy of total change of administration
within the coming two years. A despot
might be removed by assassination, or a
monarch by revolution, with the certainty
of anarchy until a successor is scknowl-
edged, who may prove, after ALL to be
little better. But an obnoxious repubii-
can executive may be duly supplanted,
without invoking bloodshed or anarchy.
To preserve good government under
any form, its blessings must be appre-
cisted. With our fathers, the full reali-
cation of republication was possible,
because they had purchased it through
suffering and blood. They knew its cost
and held it dear. The present rulers
came after, receiving it without knowing
its worth. The sons repeated like par
rots the truths that had been engrsven on
their fathers hearts with fire and sword.
Receiving freedom as gift, they
knew not its value. Now, through sad
experience, they do appreciate it. When
fully regSined, it will be priced as it
never could before.
The American system is not failure.
The experience of this generation has
proven the wisdom of the statesmen who
devised it-hss proven that we cannot
be satisfactorily governed on any other
system.

THE CINCINNATI MANIFESTO.


In another column we publish The plat
form of principles adopted by number
of the leading Republicans of Gin.
cinnati, among whom are Hon. ].
d. Cox, Judge Stanley Matthews, Judge
Hoadly and Gen. Burnett. A special
from Cincinnati to the Chicago Re
publican says of this movement:
The leaders were Col. Stanley Mat
thews and Judge Hoadly; two prominent
lawyers and politicians Gen. II. L.
Burnett, the law partner of ex-Secreiary
Cox, was also present, and Mr. Thomson,
ex-Prosecuting Attorney of the county.
Assurance 9oGs gigea that similar organ
cation acdS being effected IN Neio York
and other cities, and that the increment
so0uld deUelop itself into a National one
before long. Az present fdgored the NOM
inGtiOn Of er-SecretGTy Coz for President.
Whenit was objected that Mr.. Cox was not
eligible, on account of nativity, it was
announced that, although born in Mon
treal, his parents, at the time, were citi-
zens and residents of New York, and on
ly temporarily sojouTning in Canada.
This, it was said, removed all objections
under the constitution, and made him, to
all intents and purposes, native of the
United States. Others who were present
disclsimed any intention of forcing the
nomination of any particular individual.
Judge Matthews said it was evident that
the Republican party, as political or
ganizstion, has seen its best days, and
could no longer control the country.
Other speakers abused Grant, in unquali-
fed terms, as the cause of all the trouble.
1t is understood that the Tribune in Chi
csgo, the Commercial in Cincinnati, the
Democrat in st. Louis will support the
new movement.
The Republican says editorially:
We print this morning, in a special
dispatch from Cincinnati, some important
information concerning the organization
Of q new political party. AL ne kRotO
about it Is that our authority IS entire
" reliable. The Republican last fall
suggested Gen. Cox as the best candidate
for the Republican party.
The Cincinnati Chronicle Grant
RsdicsD attaches emo great political i'm
portance to this enunciation of principles.
Practically, ithas no marked significance"
The Cincinnati Gazette (Republicsn)
says:
For our part, we look upon this as
movement for revival in the Republican
party, by bringing ideas and principles
into greater prominence, and by evolving
definite principles from the rather vague
condition which was left in the party by
the accomplishment of the great object
of the party organization, and by the sg-
gregation of other patriotic elements to
put down the attempt to destroy the re
public.
If this effort of leading Republicans
shall have the effect contemplated by the
Gazette, it will certainly accomplish
great good, and in that respect we wish it
decided success.

PRIMARY PRfNCIPLEs AND or
q GAEEZATrONs. -l q

The UNION AND AMERICAN very prop
erly urges upon the people to adopt some
method of arousing and fixing the public
attention upon The deyiaiions of those in
power from the right line of constitu-
lional government. 1t suggests that or
CARNATIONS be formed in every county
and civil district of Tennessee, TO meet
monthly, and at least have read the
Declaration of Independence and the
Constitution of 1857, with its first twelve
amendments.
We heartily approve of the suggestion.
If familiarity with the true principles OF
our government was ever an imperative
necessity, now is the time. The Radical
party has drifted so far away from cor
rect Interpretation of our Constitution,
that our people are in actual danger of
forgetting what kind of government
they once lived under, and our children
as they grow up will form no just concep-
ton of that grand chart of human liberty
left us by our ancestors -Fra,lkLin Re
viea0.
We are pleased TO have the co-opera-
ton of our contemporary in arousing the
public to the importance of reverling to
the primary principles of our govern
ment. Ii is project in which we think
good men OF all political parties may
unite. II the political doctrines of the
trainers of the Constitution have in them
that wisdom for which they are univer-
sally applauded, there can certainly be
no objection to constant recurrence to
them. This is especially desirable now
while so many of our young men are
growing up without having had the ben
eft of those public discussions by which
the people of Tennessee previous to the
war were instructed, not only in the gen.
ersl prlciples of government but as to the
good and i'll of every measure of each
administration. If we can get the gen.
eral principles properly ingrafted in the
popular mind, we can never be ruinously
wrong in administrative measures. We
would like to have our readers discuss the
proposition, and We would be especially
gratifed to have our young men take
hold of it, if to them it should seem ad-
ylsable.

A FULL insight into the change which
has taken place in New Hampshire, can
best be obtained by considering the vic
tory in the Legislature. The State had
been UNANIMOUSLY gerrymsudered by the
Radicals, in order to hold the law making
power, no matter Whist might be the re-
suit on the popular vote. The counties
have been cut up into three hundred and
twenty Assembly districts. By this ex-
quisite cutting up of districts, it was be-
IeSed, by the party of intolerance, that it
could carry the Commonwealth, as to the
Legislature, no matter how the State
might go on the aggregate vote. The re-
turns show that the Legislature itself is
Democratic. No other event could show
30 thoroughly the change that has been
wrought in the individual citizens of each
petty district. 1t emphasizes, most for
cibly, the thoroughness of the revolution
in sentiment.

POLITICS FOR THE PEOPLE

1t is becoming quite the fashion to
charge that the masses waste too much
time and attention on politics; and this
charge is often directed specially against
the South. 1t is remarkable how many
of these decidedly unrepublican notions
have come in vogue with our big national
debt and centralizing tendencies. In
every age it has been the study Of despots
to divert the attention of the people from
public affairs, while military prestige,
mercantile prominence, or material pros
perity is pointed to as the Astounding
proof that all goes well. But constant
vigilance is the only security for liberty.
To ensure the continuance of our free
institutions, we know of no better means
than those by which we received them.
Indeed, as the affairs of government bI-
come more extended, and It's patronage
and expenditures larger, the need for the
constant check of enlightened public
scrutiny becomes more imperative.
As compared with the past, there
is occasion for increased concern
in the public veal, on the part Of
all good citizens. In the South we
are happily passing that stage when ex-
cuse was found for inaction. Henceforth
all our efforts will be efficient, and in the
pending struggle against consolidation we
should give our Northern brethren no
niggardly aid. Unless our people choose
To remit politics to the professional office
seekers, they must continue the old inter-
est. 1t is in times of public indifference
that the low and unworthy climb into
high places To fird worthy, intelligent
citizens peglecting the polls, when we
know that whisky and mcney will bring
up the last sponge or loafer in the CON-
munity, is not healthy sign. Our gov
eminent depends on the people for its
purity and permanency. Every citizen
has his interest in it and his duty. The
intelligent, industrious man who neg
lects ii, is doing positive mischief by his
example of Indifference, in proportion TO
his influence as worthy, estimabie citi-
zen in other respects.

SENATOR SHERMAN, of Ohio, recently
declared in,the United States Senate that
'fa eleven Southern States the public
condition at the present time is one of
unparalleled horror and snarchy." At
the same time, in the STATES FAMED, thou
sands of Northern men and women are
enjoying the hospitality of Southern
friends, as free from molestation as they
would in ShermaA's own State. What
confidence can they have in any statement

very sensibly remarks:

upon public sentiment depends the due
enforcement of the laws, and it might
have added that if the laws are them

they are odious in themselves and Cypress
the people, public sentiment will not in
