POLITICAL.

Political advices from Indiana say that the
Republicans and the Democracy are quarrel
ling.
The German element at the Cincinnati Con
vention will, it is said, demand an unequivo.
cal free trade platform, and failing to get it,
will "bolt," no matter who is nominated for
President.

one of the Managers of the National Soldiers

The Cincinnati Commercial which lends q
quasi support to the modern Babel, probably
anticipating the difficulty which will beset il
at the outset, says: "We want very little
platform and very few declarations of any
sort. Political campaign literature is held
in general contempt anyhow"
The Chicago Post has scathing criticism
on the course of Governor Palmer, showing
him guilty of glazing hypocrisy and the most
detestable double dealing, and closing in these
words: ave consign him to the tender mer-
cies of the Cincinnati malcontents, in the
hope that they will show themselve sufficient
ly fools to nominate him for. Governor, or
sufficiently lunatics to nominate him fol-
President The only documents needed to
beat him out of sight are the documents
giving the utterances of his own mouth
Palmer contrasted with Palmer will be the
most effective electioneering tracts ever pro-
duced in political campaign"

the democracy. '.Mr. Thurman" says
the Herald, lis one of the hardshell dem
ocrats, who look with little favor on the
giving away of their party to the recalci-
trant republicans, aud he showed his old
fashioned democracy while the deficiency
bill was under consideration by denounc-
ing the appropriation for carrying the four
teenth amendment into effect, declaring
that the democratic party always was and
always would be opposed to that amend
ment. This brought up Edmunds. who not
only tainted Thurman with the affiliations
Of his party with the soreheads, but said
the Senator from Ohio had not yet been
taught the lessons he would be called up
on to expouud. There was more interest
felt in this little discussion than in any
thing that has been said in the Senate
since the close of the debate of the French
arms business. Its Importance cannot be
magnified in view of the policy likely TO
be adopted by the old line democrats in
the coming canvass, the bitter words OF
Mr.. Thurman showing that they still cling
to dead issues, and are not more willing
to give them up now than when the new
departure line of action was first adopted"
There is no prospect that the democrats
will sustain the Cincinnati nominations.
Some of the more sanguine of the sorehead
republicans, also some of the democrats,
have believed in the possibility and feast
bility Of such result, but they have near
ly all abandoned it.
The only thing which the opposition to
Grant can do, will be to run their separate
tickets, carry as many votes as they can,
and get things under way for the election
in 1876. That is planning long way in
advance, however, and in the changes of
politics their labor is all likely to be lost.

HALLS ARCTIC EXPEDITION.

Advices are received from the Arctic expe-
dition under Captain Hall to March l. The
Polaris had been two days at Disco, Green
land, undergoing repairs andprocuring a fresh
supply of provisions. On the afternoon OF
February s, she encountered very heavy
weather and by repeated collisions with what
Captain Hall termed "icy snags" sprung a
leak SO that she was obliged to bear up for
Disco. The men and even the officers and
professional attaches of the expedition sus-
tanned an unremitting working of the pumps
until the harbor was reached, and then the
hold was so water-logged and the men so ex-
hausted that Captain Hall announced that an
other day at sea would have caused them to
abandon the vessel. 1t was necessary to
throw over large quantity of provisions.
Several strange discoveries have been made
which led to the conviction that in the ex-
treme undiscovered North there is at times a
genial atmosphere and open seas. Plants
were detected in the ice which are indigenous
to southern climates, and the examination of
floating stick of wood found on Saturday
January IA, proved it to be a limb of some
huge birch. Throughout the whole month of
January very little ice was seen, and each
night the sky on all sides glittered with me-
teors of the most gorgeous description, which
flashed so brightly and wildly across the fir
manent as to dazzle the strongest eyesight.
The most important clew to the existence of a
polar passage is the fact that the crew of the
Polaris had seen, followed and killed whale
having in one of its fins a harpoon similar to
those used in the south Pacific, and this hap
pened in region where, Captain Hall says,
''the sail of an American or European YES
sci had never been given to the wind before"
In May Captain Hall hopes to make clear
passage to the undiscovered pole, and learn
all necessary information concerning that re-
gion about which SO much has been coniec-
tured, and for which so many noble lives
have been sacrificed. Captain Hall asserts
tnat II there be any habitable land in the Vi
clnity OF the north-pole, it will be a ne plps
ultra OF salubrious climates, and his only
fear is that he and his men may have to en-
counter before landing new and formidable
race OF human beings. After the Polaris had
been thoroughly caulked and prepared for
sea- wfsch 1t NTas thought would be about
wednesday, the 9th of March last, she was
70 start upon the original course, and the
captain proposed to carry an abundance of
coal so that he may make all possible head
way during this available season. Captain
Han expects to be at home in September.

Only a few months ago Mr.. Greeley
wrote of President Grant as follows
"fhe republicans are generally satisfied
with General Grants Administration, and
inclined to renew his lease of power.
There is very general conviction that he
is safe and prudent Executive. General
Grant has been not quite two years in
power, During those two years many
war-clouds have doomed on the horizon,
yet peace with foreign nations and with
Indian tribes have been happily preserved.
The taxes have been largely reduced, yet
two hundred millions of the national debt
have been paid off and cancelled, though
we are paying twenty millions per annum
q interest, and thirty millions per annum
Aer pensions to the widows and orphans
o0f great struggle. We doubt wheth-
ef any Government ever before devoted
SO large proportion of its annual income
10 the payment of debt. He m,sunder
stands human nature who fancies tina,
these facts win not tell in Presidential
contest"

h The democratic organ at Washington,
inspired by the recent democratic confer.
ence in that city, repudiates the idea thai
the Cincinnati convention will make nom
nations which viii be accepted by the
democrats. 1t says: 'If the idea is en-
tertained that any nominations made at
Cincinnati will be adopted by the national
democracy it cannot be dismissed too soon,
for it is doomed to certain and bitter dis
appointment.
