a LESSON FROM HISTORY.

The speech of Governor Clifford at the
Massachusetts State Convention last week,
contained the following remarks concern
ing the opposition to President Lincoln in
1864 BY leading republicans, which are
apt to the present time. 1t is an interest
ing coincidence, that the. venerable en-
Secretary Of the Navy. Gideon Welles,
furnishes the last number of the Galaxy
with considerable matter upon the same
subject. though turning it to different
purpose from that Of Governor Clifford.
1t affords, however, authentic evidence of
the opposition to the denomination of
Lincoln in his own party, as we now find
opposition to Grant, which is the main
point In referring to the matter. The
speaker might also have spoken Of the
Cleveland Convention of 1864, which
nominated John c. Fremont as a candi.

The New York Post is not content with
pronouncing the resolves of the New York
sorehead convention childish and weak,
but dissects and speaks farther of them
as follows:
As for the resolutions passed, their chief
merit is their brevity; but a brevity which
leaves many essential things unsaid, and says
at least one needless thing. We look in vain
for any frank denunciation of the mischiev Gus
abuses of the tariff. or of the ranking privi
lege, or of the infamous Ku Klux bill while
we find a recognition Of the 'sone-term prin-
ciple," as it is called. although it is no prin-
ciple but a mere political s.fetch." If the
liberal Republicans are to hold their breath
in this way. let us say to them that they will
not carry with them the masses, who like a
bold, honest and untrammelled utterance of
sentiments. Free soil, free speech and free
