THE APPROACHING DISSOLUTION

will reecho, to-day, the unmistakable
voice which has Just come from North
Carolina and Vermont, and which, before,
had been SO significantly uttered from
the White Mountains of New Hampshire
and the now regenerated region where
rolls the Oregon The tidal wave ~
which was to sweep Grant and the Re-
publican party out of existence, never
amounting to anything more nota-
BILE than sluggish undeItow while at its
height, now recedes in ifeless ebb,
leaving the rotten old hulk of the Demo-
cratic party hopelessly stranded in the
mud and ooze while Jonah Greeley,
buried forever in the whales belly of po-
litical damnation. IS borne out into that
| dank. fathomless and abyssmal purgatory
which is set apart by an all-wise Provi-
dence for those, such as he, who have
committed the objectionable political
sin, And there will be a double death,
brought about by reciprocity of fatal eff
fects: For while stimulating an ac9uies-
cence in the Inevitable in order to place
themselves in a position to struggle for
mere negation in politics the Democracy
consented to swallow the fluffy carcase
of Horace Greeley, with all his isms and
all his heresies upon his whitened hairs,
and while the dreadful dose has brought
that sure and slow and wretched death
which results from an incurable nausea,
Greeley, himself, false to all that he ever
earnestly advocated, is already so utterly
and irretrievably decomposed political
cadaver as to be intolerably offensive even |
to the tenderest mourner who stands be- |
side his bier or the most hardened |
grave digger whose offices his coming |
fulera! may demand The history Of !
American politi, affords no parallel to
the mutual courses of GRACE Greeley and |
the Democratic party, as this year devel
oped. Voluntary and shameless political
and professional prostitution to crafty
the lust Of Office on the one hand the
eager recantation OF all distinctive creeds
the precipitate abandonment of all life
long professions and the affectation of
swallowing and relishinS the upheavings
of their traditional foes upon the other
these are the terms of political partner
ship the like of which never was known
before-at least never before proclaimed
in the open light of day and in the ears
of an enlightened public, enjoying such
as the Nineteenth Century
places within the easy reach of every
American citizen. Now, while if is
maxim in politics which is almost intalli-
BILE, that negatives cannot secure positive
that deserters, seeking e,nolu-
ments as a reward for their treason get
little or nothing but what is their due in
the shape of retributive justice; and that
the weak and lamentable rage of non COM
batants who supplement their impotency
by onacting the wretehed role of the I
Apostate never arouses any genuine ar
dor nor secures any effective following. | I
what hope can there be of rearoIsing to
active, enthusiastic effort a conglomerate
party of soreheads and eternally defeated
strasglers whose only chance of success
was whatever of real or theoretical delu- .
