The LOUISVILLE Oourier-Jomnal, in the

The LOUISVILLE Courier Journal, in the
following paragraph, makes an open con-
fession of the real difference between the
two great political parties of the day. 1t
reminds us of the candor of the late Mike
Walsh, who said the grogshops were the
chief nurseries of Democracy: "The great
instrumentality through which Radicallsm
attains place and power is Mind, with
Aittle assistance from Money; the great in
strumentality through which Democracy
attains the same ends is Ignorance
Wherever Radicalsm prevails, there Learn
ing lifts her classic head, and from her
ambrosial locks scatters intellectual light
and loveliness abroad; wherever DEM
ocracy obtains the foothold, there Ignorance
erects her shrines and her altars, before
which her blind and ragged votarles
PROSTATE themselves in the dust and sing
paans in her praise. 1t is not strange
then, that the Democrat who is true to his
principles and his party never approaches
a school-house without instinctively feel
ing in his pockets to see if he has such a
thing about him as box of matches or
can of nitro-glycerine. 1t is to the Dem
ocratic party the English poet refers when
he tells us that where ignorance is bliss 1t
is folly to be wise" Which of these
pictures is most attractive? Every Amer
ican citizen can take his choice.

THE CHICAGO Republican says the cha
grin of the St. Louis Democrat over the
election of Frank Blair to the Senate-an
event which is but the natural result of its
own political engineering-is strongly sug-
gestive of little story which Mr. Lincoln
used to tell when he wanted to illustrate a
marked case of parental Reputation. at
was that of Bill Reynolds mare. This
animal had just passed through the pains
and perils of maternity, and was about to
indulge its joys and its hopes, when, look
ing round, she beheld in her offspring the
unsightly form Of mule colt. She pricked
up her ears, ran off, and was never after
ward seen or heard of; but her owner was
heard to remark that she alone was to
blame for it. We leave the Democrat to
make the application"
