took new party and men of different
ideas in France to pull down from the
public buildings the inscription of
"Egalite, Fraternite, Liberte," and put
in its place "Infanteric, Cavalerie, Ar
tillerie;" but in our war politics, our
statesman, Mr.. Greeley, in the course of
few weeks, passed from under the
wings of the dove of peace and mercy.
and bounded into the military saddle,
where zone blast from his busle was
worth thousand men,
Now is the very time to think of and
discuss fully and frankly all these ques-
tons. Our Convention will soon meet
to decide them, and, just here, pause
to lmplore Democrats and all lovers of
the Constitution who will act with
them, to be spre to send their truest and
wisest men to this Convention, Mean
time, let the press and the people speak
out, and let their delegates, who are
only their servants, know what their
wishes are. That done, let the Conyen-
ton determine, in the light of patriot
ism, and under high sense of duty.
what is best to be done, and then let the
Democratic masses, the rank and file,
bone and sinew, go solid in support of
that decision. Under all cfrcumstan-
ces, the integrity Of the Democratic
party must be preserved. The country
still has use for it's services, and con-
stitutional liberty cannot afford to
lose them.

The Risk Of Supporting Greeley.

Now that the first burst of laughter
over the Cincinnati nomination for til,
Presidency has subsidized, Republican,
are beginning to reflect over the sig
nlficance of the Democratic rejoicing
which has hailed the, candidature Of
Horace !GreeleJ. Throughout il i {
political career Mr.. Greeley has been
justly celebrated as disorgauizer
Throughout the period that covers his
adhesion to Republican principles he
has repeatedly failed the party at most
critical junctures. His silly egotism
has let him, times enumerable, to set
his personal crotchets above the har-
monlous development of the destiny
OF great party. Ever since he at
talned the character of a public man,
he has had a restless itch for Office, and
his political affiliations have been
mainly determined by the comparative
chances they afforded of satisfying an
ignoble ambition. For years, Mr..
Greeley has been trying to secure such
a nomination as that which he has
just got at Cincinnati. He has schem-
ed and plotted, slandered good men
and screened rascals, outraged every
principle of political consistency, and
spurned every obligation of public
virtue, in the attempt to attract such
following of trading politicians as
would bargain with him for the divi-
sion of the spoils of power, in return
for the honor of a nomination for the
Presidency. That he is entitled to
such distinction-no man can be so
confident as the candidate himself;
that he would, if elected, be equal to
the responsibilities of the high position,
Horace Greeley, at least, has no mis-
givings. On one side, are tile great
issues which loyal men have sealed
with their blood, the safety of Repub-
lican principles and the continuance
of Republican supremacy; on the other,
are the personal vanity of Mr.. Gree
ley and the corrupt schemes of his i'm
political following. On such
an alternative, the Cincinnati nominee
takes his stand, and on one desperate
cast stakes his party, his principles
aDlhis political future, in the purblind
expectation of possible election.

Life is to n great extent inst uh.

" Life is to great extent just what
we make it; aud to make ourselves
wretched is no great task. To this
end, man need not put on sackcloth,
or destroy his property, or shut him
self up in a dungeon. He need not
even change, in the least, his outward
circumstances. But let him view life
on its darkest side, and think that no
evil befalls others so great as himself;
let him attribute to men the worst
motives in every action, and regard
none as worthy of his confidence, and
he will need little more to make his
misery complete.

30 WE'LL sMS.-The Secretary
claims to have reduced the amount of
Government bonds some hundreds OF
millions; but he omits to add that in
order to accomplish this he has steadily
pursued a policy which has caused the
country to run in debt to the foreignet
some two thousand millions of dollars,
the interest on which, at compound in
terest, before this debt will mature
and be paid, will amount to thirty
thousand millions of dollars. That is
to say, like spendthrift, to get few
hundred millions now to pay some
favorites, he will leave a post obit for
posterity of thirty two thousand mil
lions Of dollars to redeem the securities
given the foreigner. to raise the duties
with which to pay the pitiful few hun
dred millions. Laws, the South Sea
bubble, and all other bubbles of ant
iquity, pale before this almost infinite
blunder, we might say ini1uity, of Mr..
Boutwell,.
If Mr.. Boutwell, can show an increas-
ed production and export, an augment
ing shipping and full employment to
Industrious, willing labor, that would
be something benefcient upan which,
he might plume himself,
All that he does show, is his ability
to extort the largest amount of revenue
upon the most ruinous policy conceiva-
bic. To pay off some three or four
hundred millions he has literally run
the country in debt to the foreigner,
principal and interest of which will
amount to thirty-two thousand millions
