Does Peter 81. Clark Advise
Delay?

My friend Peter H. Clark, of Cincinnati,
is a fair subject for friendly criticism. The
burden of an idea given by him at a meeting
held on the 10th instant, in the Fifteenth
Street Presbyterian Church Of this city, as I
understood him, was that we should be sat
isfied to wait contentedly nearly three years
longer for action by Congress to secure to us
our rights. I understood him to substan-
tally affirm that the matter properly belongs
to the next Congress, which assemblies a
year hence, and has for its term of action
two years; that it is not prudent to urge ac-
ton now. Ifthe gentleman's position is the
correct one, then we should wait content
edly," under degrading outrages the men,
toned time. 1 am bold, however, to affirm
to the contrary that it is the duty of the
present Congress to act. First, because the
act desired is just and is needed nop; second,
because it is competent for this Congress to
act in the premises, and because Congress
is elected to, and it is presumed will, make
laws in accordance with the known wish of
the people. A late National Convention,
which represented a majority Of the people,
as proved by the Presidential election, told
this Congress to act and secure Us IN our
rights.
The Republican members Of this Congress,
which members are largely in the majority,
have declared by their vote that this Con-
gress should act in the matter. 1t was de-
clared before the pointed expression of the
people, which have referred to, was made,
before the Democratic party had affirmed
that we should be protected in our civil
rights, and it is passing strange that when
Democratic Senator was expected, but re-
fused to interpose an objection to action by
this Congress, that Senator Morrill, did in
terpose an objection, which is surpassed in
wonder by the fact that one Of the outraged
can argue for delay in the face of the above
facts, as do those who would not secure us
in our rights.

II any member needs q coat or other article
OF clothing, -four, sugar, or tobacco. he can
! get whatever he wants, without paving for it
at the store - in the same way he procures
meat from the butcher and bread from the
baker; spirits are forbidden except in case OF
sickness. The doctor also appoints the oc-
cupation OK each member, so as to contribute
20 the best welfare OF the colony-whether no
snail be a farmer, mechanic, a common la
borer, or whatever ho can be most usefullv
employed in; and the time and talents of
each are regarded as belonging to the whole
community, subject only to the doctors judg-
ment. If a member marries, separate
dWel!ing-hOuse and certain amount of land
are assigned him, so that the families of the
settlement are scattered about on farms.
The elders of the colony support the doctor
in the duties Of his ofs1ce by counsel and as
sistance.
The lands Of the colony are collectively
recorded in DR.. Keil's name, in order, as he
says, to avoid intricate and complicated law
papers. 1t would, however, be for the inter-
est of the colonists to make speedy change
in this respect, SO that the members of the
community, in case Of the doctors death,
might obtain each his share of the lands with
out litigation. Should the Doctors decease
occur soon. before this alteration ia made.
hrs natural heirs could claim the whole prop
crty OF the colony, and the members would
be left in the lurch. He does not appear,
however, to be in great haste to effect this
change, though it ought to have been done
long ago. 1t is always said among the colo
nists, naturally enough, that all the ground
is the common property Of the community.
Whether the doctor fully subscribes' to this |
opinion in his secret heart might be a CUES |
ton.
Doctor Keil is at the same time the reli- |
gious head and the unlimited secular ruler of |
the colony of Aurora, and can ordain, with |
the consent of the elders, (who very naturally |
uphold his authority,) what he pleases. A |
life free from care and responsibility, such as
the members of the community (who, for the |
most part, belong to the lower and unculti-
waited CLASSY lead-a life in regard to which |
no one but the doctor has the trouble of |
thinking-is the main ground OF the undis-
turbed continuance Of the colony. The pre-
eminent talent for organization, combined |
with the unlimited powers of command, which
the doctor-justly named "king of Aurora"-
possesses, together with the Unborn industry
peculiar to Germans, is the cause of the pros
perity Of the settlement, which calls itself
communistic, but is certainly nothing more
than vast farm belonging to it's talented
founder. 1t has its schools, It's churches.

Senator Ferry passes this severe
verdict on the Cincinnati candidate I:
''To intrust great interests to an ad-
ministratiOn made up and controlled
by Mr.. Greeley would be mere mid
summer Madness Judge Black
says: mo prominent man in the
country could be named more unfit to
be President than Horace Greeley"
The New York Nation calls his nom

says that 'iif he were elected his ad-
ministratiOn would be the most cor
rupt i'm the history Of the country"
Wendell Phillips wants to know
"what agreement was made between
JEFF. Davis and Horace Greeley" The
Detroit Free Press says che has sold
his principles for tie sake Of the pres
idency." Gen. MOsby calls him "the
fanatic whose teachings have been
the IIiad Of all our woes" But not
a man has pronounced n more harsh
condemnation Of Mr.. Greeley than
Greeley himself when he promised
that to get the presidency he was will
ling to surrender his dearest eOnvie-
tiOns and allow a tariff reform bill to
become a law when be had the moral,

vent it. No wonder the nation judg-

state me; but his poetic imagination
and elegant taste has given color to
my commonplace remarks which a
less gifted person would not put on
them. Besides, he is an ardent friend
of the Cincinnati nominee and most
"Liberal Republlcan"-sO extremely
liberal, indeed, that he thinks it mean
in the Democratic party not to sur
render their organization into the
hands of its enemies, and this gener-
GUS sentiment of his own has made
him miscOnceive my notion about the
duty OF the Democracy to stand firmly
together for Il ewhOle country. While
I am about it I may as well say
another word. The aggressive and
violent temper of the Cincinnati
movement is breaking the Democracy
to pieces. There are many thousands
of men in the party who will refuse
to be dragOOned or bullied into the
support of that ticket. The Greeley
men had better suspend their plan of

down, we appeal to the judgment of

that Mr.. Greeley was encouraged 10

I ton would be given him if he receiv-
ed the other, and that the Democratic
party is bound in good faith to carry
out this implied contract.
We mean something mere than q
I favor or gift by this. IT is . contract,
for which Mr.. Greeley has given COR
sideratiOns by heavy sacrifices These
considerations have been greatly ad-
ded to since Cincinnati convention.
Trusting to the Democratic faith, Mr..
1 Greeley turned the Tribune into the
course that he thought would most
help that party.
II was filled with attacks upon the
administration. 1t subdued its fierce
roar against the Tammany ring and
the corrupt Judges to the gentle note
of sucking dove. 1t ceased It's ex-
pOsures Of the Brooklyn ring-a thing
as corrupt as Tammany, ,andwhose ex-
pOsure the Tribune had made = speci-
ality Of-in the effort to recover the
pO2itiOn it had lost by the Times war
fare of Tammany. Aud 10! it turned
out by naive confession OF Mr.. Kim
sella, the editor OF the Brooklyn Eagle,
and the notorious head of the Book
lyn ring, that he had had an inter
view with Greeley-the first of his
life-and that, rs he says, 'Mr. Gree
ley left on his mind the conviction
that from the 4th of March next we
will have in the White House aPresi-
dent iutent on securing good feeling
between the still antagOnized sections
of our common country" And by q
eiasllar- coincidence the BROOKLYN
Eagle was hOtly advocating the Dem
Ocratic nomination of Greeley, and
the Tribune spoke no more OF the
Brooklyn ring, but praised Mr.. Kim
selia's patriotic course, and the eOur-
age and sagacity he displays"
For the same consideration Mr..
Greeley withdrew from the Tribune,
giving up profession by which he
had achieved fortune and fame, in
order that it might cooperate with
the Democratic party without the
neutraliziug effect of the open appear
anee Of his personal interest. For this
he sacrificed the Tribune by convert
ing it to tho organ OF his own bargain
for the betrayal OF his party for the
price of the Democratic nomination.
He sacrificed a great professional Tepu-
tatiOn, a great journal, and his own
character, and in the public fame,
like the ambitious Macbeth, he divest-
ed his life's autumn Ofall that SHOULD

treachery to man who has sacrificed
his all for them, even if it offered sue

fragable argument, that the pOmina-
tiOn of Greeley will invigOrate the

Sure Cure for Neuralgia.

The NOrwalk Gazette, says: A
friend of ours who suffered horrible
tortures from neuralgia, hearing Of a
noted physician in Germany who in
variably cured that disease, crossed
the ocean and visited Germany for
treatment. He was permanently cured
after a short sojOuIn, and the doctor
freely gave him the simple remedy
used, which was nothing but a pOul-
tiee and tea made from our common
field thistle.
The leaves are maeerated and used
on the parts affected as a pOultice,
while a small quantity Of the leaves
are boiled down in the proportion Of q
quartz to pint, and a small wine-gIass
of the decOctiOn drank before each
meal. Our friend says he has recon-
mended 1t far and near, and he has
never known it to fail Of giving relief,
while i'm almost every case it has
effected a cure. It is certainly worth
a trial.
