The Issues of 1872.

The Pittsburg Gazette of April 9th says
that Senator Morton places the great issues
OF 1872 fairly before the public in his late
speech in the Senate. Shall reconstruction
be maintained? Shall Constitutional amend
ments be upheld? Shall colored people be
protected in the enjoyment of equal rights
Shall Republicans in the South he protected
in life, liberty and property? These, SEN
ator Morton thinks, will be the great issues
Of 1872, besides which all others will sink
into insigniicance Every day between this
and the campaign OF 1872, we believe these
issues will become more and N orc positively
defined. Every Democratic success will be
attended with a corresponding increase Of
confidence on the part OF the Southern men
in the policy of standing firmly to these is
sues. That they will retire one step from
the position assumed by Blair and Davis we
have not the least idea That they will take
bolder grounds than even those yet assumed
is far more probable. The remuneration of
Southern men for the loss of their slaves is
not an exploded idea. Men of all kinds
cling most ardently to monied demands, and
we are satisfied that this question must,
sooner or later, have a most positive bearing
on the formation of the two great parties of
the land. That the Northern Democracy
would to-day support such an issue is almost
unqpestionable. Even should policy indi
cate that such an issue would ensure defeat,
the position assumed by the Democratic
party in the North, forces them to make
thi, concession 20 the Democrats of the
South We think, as Senator Morton has
asserted, that the Issues OF 1872 viii be so
strictly defined that no collateral personal
issues will have the slightest weight with
the public. Believing this, We fully believe
also that in the coming Presidential cam
paign the Republican party will be ruit in
strength, and that every day and hour iIe
promise of Republican victory grows more
positive

SAN DoHuNGo.-The message of the
President, which accompanied the report of
the San Domingo Commissioners to Con-
gress, is freely spoken of in Washington as
the most popular document he has yet
written. Ii is calm, dignified, clear, and
bears upon its face the most unmistakable
evidence of honesty. His announced policy
of turning the whole thing over to Con
gress is regarded as particularly wise, and
as giving him the advantage of position.
He does not, by this, sink his individual
opinion but simply revows his original pur-
pose to have no policy as against the wishes
of the people. If there is any more fight
on the subject in Congress it viii be against
he people and not against the President.
So We are happily rid of perplexing ques-
ton, the President is really triumphant, and
Mr.. Summers thunder is empty sound. -

Republicanism Drifting"

The election In Connecticut on Tuesday,
April 4,h, resulted in a victory to the Re
publicans. Last year the Democrats car
red the State by a handsome majority, and
they were very certain of carrying 1t again
this year, but they have been sadly disap>
pointed in their anticipaUions-th Republi-
cans having elected Taylor, Lieut. Governor,
by 300 majority; Appleman, Secretary OF
State, by $50 maj Manning, Controller,
by 339 maj. and three out of the four
Congressmen. Neither Of the. candidates
Tor Governor receiving a majority Of all the
votes cast. the election deyolves upon the
Legislature, and as the Republicans have
majority in both houses, Jewen, Republi
can, will of course be. chosen. This is
grand triumph, and fair offset to the re-
cent result in New Hampshire. Besides it
shows which way the tide is drifting"
Rhode Island, on the same day, re elect
ed the present Republican State officers.
with the exception of Lieut. Governor, by
about $500 majority. The question of
abolishing trap fishing in the bay was made
the issue in the choice of Lieut. Governor.
third candidate being voted for by Re
publican boilers, an election was prevented :;
but the Legislature, which is largely nepub-
lican III both Houses, will no doubt select
the regular Republican candidate. This is
another Republican drift"
As some further evidence as to where Re
publicanism is drifting" we direct the at.
tentiOn of our readers to few facts relating
to municipal elections in various localities,
10 wit
On Monday, April Sd, the Republican
ticket in Cleveland, Ohio, was elected by
l,5OO majority, In 1869 the Democratic
Mayor was chosen by 2,6I7 majority a
Republican gain of over 1000. Not q
Democratic rooster has made its appearance
over that result, the drift being enor-
mousiy towards Republicanism
Wooster, Ohio, has gone Republican
against Democratic majority Of 200 last
tall.
In Maryland, the Republicans have elect
ed their tickets in towns heretofore Demo
cratic; and the Baltimore American, after
careful survey of the political field in
in that State, predicts that Maryland will
DRIFT into the Republican line in 1872.
1t Schenectady, New York. the Repub-
leans electedstheir Mayor by 200 majority,
being gain Of 6OO
In Palmer county, n. Y, the Board of
Supervisors stands three Republicans and
one Democrat-two of a Republican gain.
Lyons, Iowa, heretofore largely Demo
cratic, has elected full Republican ticket.
The elections in Harrodsburg and Dan.
vile, Kentucky, have resulted in favor of
the Republicans gain.
At Evansville, Indiana Republican
Mayor was elected by 500 of maiority-a
gair.
In Milwaukee, Ludingfon. Republican,
is elected by about l,OJG majority.
pirusr few of the drifts for nuni-
ciple officers, but they are significant
enough to show that drift" of which De
mocraey has been predicting so much of
late. Verify, Depublicanism is drifting"
onward to renewed victory.

Any unpraiuo;eed man may form his
opinion concerning the Sumner and Grant
difficulty, by observing the newspapers.
All of the Democratic papers and most OF
those known as boilers AMI revenue reform
ers support the doughty Genator, while all
of the thoraugh going Republican papers,
with the New York Tribune at their head,
support the President. Another curious
way of looking at it viii disclos, the fact
that there is scarcely free trade journal IN
the country that is not with Sumner, nor
protection journal that is not for Grant.

The Pittsburg Dispatch says With the
agitation in the Democratic party as to the
candidate most available for Presidential
nomination comes the somewhat startling
information that Mr.. Thurman. of Ohio,
drinks liquor, whether whisky. brandy or
gin, is not stated. Some one has said that
he was drunk at the Democratic National
Convention in New York. But Alexander
Delmar, the distinguished editor of the
National Entelligenaer, comes forward and
testifes that he was present when Thur
man declared his sentiments from the top
OF the table; and he says that the insinua-
ton that this distinguished statesman got
drunk was "a malignant lie,' for he was
there and knew how it was himself. But
the man who started the story alfrnls that
all who were present on the occasion refer
red TO we're drunk, which is entirely proba
bic. By the way, isn't it something new
for our Democratic friends to be looking NJ
the question of morals so carefully? ? While
Their hand is in, We suggest that they ex-
PeHment on Hoffman, Hendricks and Blair.
