The People Moving.

A movement is being develOped-perhapS It
is vet only an impulse-that gives considerable
uneasiness to Administration circles in Wash
ington. 1t can be stated in two words The
leaders of the Democracy, satisfied by late
elections that it is hopeless to contend with the
Republican organization, and that by such con-
test they only tasten upon the people for four
years aud perhaps forever, a corrupt Admin
istration, are disposed to leave the field to the
betfer class of Republicans so far as nomlna-
| tions for President and Vice President are con-
/ cerned.
It is fact that the Republican party has re-
solved itself into great army of othceho!ders,
with camp followers p the shape OF subsi,
aizad press, so selfish, greedy, imheclle, and
-. that were the outside pressure, kno"l
corfu. - -ssty, Withdrawn the great
as the Democrat. "ass Withdrew
mass OF honest voters wouiu d.
their support and let the miserable concer,
to pieces.
Well may these creatures trembla at the
thought of their machine being broken. Conld
1t be known to the country that the Democracy
had withdrawn from the field, this vast army
would fail to plecesln night. And we believe
this will be done. When two feel alike on any
grave question there Is an organization The
honest voters OF the Democratic party feel with
the honest voters Of the Republican organiza-
tlon, and nothing but an old worn-out prejudice
keeps them apart
Let not history repeat in our chronicles here
after the oft-told tale Of how, in the bitter war
OF factions, tyranny triumphed and corruption
took the place Of justice. We are in grave
danger. The reasons, if We may use such a term,
for the reelection of Grant now will be as
good, indeed BETTER for third term By that
time the office will not be worth contending for.
Senator Blair told US that Grant, if elected,
would never leave the Executive mansion alive
1t was prophecy, and like all prophecies so
blindly given that few believed He said it
would be because of the mans intellect and
ambition. 1t is because of his stupidity and
greed. A tool in the hands of the designing
Is more dangerous to our liberties than mas

which broke upon the Polaris on the evening which
they left Fscanoes the voyage pleasant The
Swedish expedition brought highly important news from
Upernavlk. The season for Arctic navigation is
ported better than any for several years. ice,
occasional bergs between Hostenberg and Disco, aud
between the latter place and Upernayik, had been
seen for several weeks Gov Eberg of the Holsenberg
District has provided Capt Hall with all the aid he can
give.
The Polaris was, at the date OF Capt Halls report,
awaiting the arrival Of the transport Congress. If she
did not arrive by the 9th inst the POars would weigh
anchor for Good Haven, whence Capt Hall would mako
arrangements for raising enough coal TO last until the
transport should reach them. Capt Hall expected to
get supply OF reindeer furs at Hostenberg, but none
could be found the reindeer OF late years having been
nearly all killed off in that neghborhood. They must,
therefore, depend Discoupermoik and Smith Sound
for their Winter furs and sledge dogs
