SOMETHING WORTH FIGHTING FOR.


Although the great mass of Revenue Re-
formers have accepted the decision of the
Cincinnati Convention in good faith, and
have gone resolutely to work for its nominees,
few of them, who are unable to digest their
personal disappointments there, continue their
sulky and pOuting charges Of fraud and cor
ruption, and refuse to support ticket tainted,
as they say, with dishonesty in its very origin.
The discomfort of these gentlemen arises
from a very simple cause. Their minds have
been 80 full for the last few years of the
subject of Free Trade, that they are unable to
conceive that any other question can be equally
important. They wenttO Cincinnati thoroughly
convinced that the salvation of the country
depended upon the immediate abolition of the
Tariff on Pig Iron. But they found they were
not alone in the Convention. A large number
of representative men had come together in
the hope of some effectual measures of reform
They had come not merely from Nassau-st,
but from every State and every district in
the United States. The evils of which Ithey
complained infested every department of
public life But the most earnest in their
assertions of wrong, and the most vociferous
in their claims for redress, were the
people of the Southern States, who
hailed the Cincinnati movement as their
only chance for the recovery of the peace and
the franchises which had been forfeited by
rebellion and which the party in power in
duced by selfish considerations of expediency,
still refused to restore to them. 1t was impos-
sible to make these people believe and feel
that a mere economic question, question of
detail for the consideration of a Ways and
Means Committee, was as important to them
as the great issue, whether the sword should
| devOur forever, or whether Law should be re-
| stored once more as a rule of civic life.
! 1t was with a feeling of CONSERVATION that
the gentlemen of the Free Trade League OBJ
served the manifestation of this powerful ten
dency. The most significant proof of it was
the storm of applause which followed the in
PRODUCTION of the resolution which remanded
these questions of finance to the consideration
Of the Congress districts, and left the Con-
vention and the Liberal party free to address
! themselves TO the wider work of national re-
form. The Free Traders accepted this arrange

moving 30 jauntily In the traces of the Adj
ministration chariot seem to have an idea
that they were made to be driven, and that
all mankind is like them but that is not, we
are inclined to believe, the general German
opinion.

Well, we know what they are not going to

mind, The World will hardly Censure them for

Recent political events have a good deal
cleared the political atmosphere. The tyranny
of party organizations has received a blow
from which it will not soon recover; and this
Presidential contest is to be fought out upon
principles of personal independence which
mere politicians have not heretofore been COM

1t is no part of our duty to interfere in the
squabblcs which are continually occurring
within the sacred circle of the Administration.
Still it would be nicer if the brethren would
dwell together in unity, and, if that is not
possible, it would at least be becoming for
them to do their wrangling in private. Their
party is not large enough to stand much more
splitting. 1t is, therefore, with real pain that
we read the following savage attack of Mr..
Bancroft Davis upon the Presidents organ in
this city, which seems so much to Mr. Fish's
taste that he has hurried it into print The
indignant Agent says: "SOme of the leading
"journals in America were controlled by Brit
"ish writers, whose articles in favor of En-
"gland were quoted as evidence Of American
"opinion, although American rights and in
"terests were of little account with persons of
"such hermaphrOdte natiOnalities. Leading
"prOprietOrs in the cable between England and
"America hurried to Washington to save their
"property from the depreciation which would
"follow rupture between the two countries,
"however remote and improbable. All these
"sayings were repeated in London and here,
"and served to consolidate opinion in En-
"gland, and to lead the public TO think that
"there is a division in America
The Times is certainly not leading jour
"nal in any sense, but it is Controlled by
British writer's" and it did recommend
retreat from the American Case as soon as
England objected to it. Still no one ever at
tributed this to any national prejudice. 1t
doubtless came from mere ignorance, and
desire to smooth things over before the cleo
ton by surrendering all causes of dispute. As
to the charges OF Mr.. Davis that distinguished
projectors and shareholders and those panicky
patriots of Wall Street who instructed the Adj
mnistration in its duty, were influenced by
anything but the most Spartan virtue, the
thought is too audaciOus to dwell npon. But
if all that he says is true, it does not clear his
skirts nor those o. his chief for their due re-
sponsibility for the Numbered negotiations. 1t
was for them to cOnduct the affair with such
straightforward discretion that there would
have been no public scandal and excitement,
which should give occasion to the British
writer's" the peripitetic saviors of the country,
and the frightened Dives of Wall Street, to
buzz the Administration into surrender and
disgrace.

ton went on in the way it had begun. There
was an instructive impression that the vital

the rule of the sword remains, as long
as the power of one man is permitted az

less TO strive for improved and honest govern

of corruption in republics and constitutional

without being clearly expressed by the Con-
vention at Cincinnati, that the crying want Oh

from power of the representative OF arDl-

adopt a candidate whose name was Identified

been innexibly on the side of freedom and

1t was this which nominated Mr.. Greeley; it
was this which associated Gov. Brown with

which is to elect them. Already there are few
who do not recognize the importance OF the

The most signal proof of panic we have lately seen
among those who have staked their all upon the re-
election of Gen. Grant is a table of Election Proph-
eces published to counterfeit the damaging effect of
certain recent estimates published by independent
papers. In this curious document, New-York, Penn
syyania, Ohio, and Illinois given to Gen. Grant,
for no assignable reason unless because they are
large and count well in the totals, and Delaware,
Florida Maryland, and Texas are kindly allowed to
Mr. Greeley for the equally satisfactory reason that
the sum of their electoral votes is not imposing.
By virtue of this ingenious process of selection, Gen.
Grant is to receive nearly all the votes of the Elec-
toral College To show his impartiality, the prophet
throws in half dozen States which he calls doubt
full among which he places Missouri. We have
great confidence in this prophets ignorance, but we
lind it difficult to believe that even he thinks Mis-
souri, doubtful State.

As the Wilson-and- Grant meeting in Boston has
been declared one of the largest and most enthusi
astic of the century we may copy the account Of 1T
given by The Boston Courier, which says:
"Tbe Graptand- Wilson ratification meeting in Faneu
Hall last evening, rather melancholy affair. Tue
attendance very thin Notwithstanding that eide-
orrs were brought in by scOres and the enthusiasm
Of an exceedingly mild and easily controlled deserlp-
tlon The report OF the meeting printed elsewhere al
columns much longer than the real character OF the
rally would call for"
The meeting, it is further reported, was so dull
that an express was sent for Gen. Wilson himself to
come and enliven his supporters. He came and
made short speech about nothing in particular,
which does not seem TO have had the desired effect
