Impracticlbles.

We hays made moan out OF an adjec-
tive for the heading q this article, but II
will be understood b. everybody and is
expressive enough. There Is class OF
mankind who can never adapt themselves
TO the circumstances around them, or they
are naturally disposed never TO try. Ihey
can never agree with majority of their
fellow citizens or With anything they may
determine on or 10. They are always
dissatisfied and lways objecting 1t is
impossible to plese them Ihe only way
of changing the opiuions IS TO pretend
,n.agrct,TijR tb1Ia ,-nnd then, oi'S 2 times,
they will chanei their positions 80 as 10
be on the coniilry side. 1t is very hard
to get along W h such people and to get
them 10 co.oerate in anything. Their
whole life scans TO DO opposition to some
thing or oth,r that majority of those
around them favor. Are these people so
much wise than the balance that they
are alwrys ,ullingin different direction?
Or is il th fact that these impracticable
men are oiy wise in their own conccit,
and are rally the least useful class in
every community in which they live =? We
incline the latter opinion and believe
they are If not much account, either in
church ,r State, in the pulpit, or
in the legislative hall, in n great
party ,r in any little community in
which the may be found, and in which
the m St of them spend their Improbable
exisIhcc, agreeing with nobody and
fighting everyb ody and everything.
vi have been led to these remarks by |
thirking of the small number of straight
outIstiff. backed democrats, who seem in
cliied to set themselves up against the
g'tat majority Of their party, and to pay |
n, regard TO its determinations in con.
,sntion assembled. They glory in being
jolteIs, and making noise and fuss, and
being talked about. Is it possible that
these men can imagine that they know so
much more than the leading and best men
of their party, men of age and experience,
men of thought, purity and enlarged
knowledge of mankind and of govern
ment? Do they never reflect that it is
improbable that they should be so much
wiser and better than the large majoriiy |
with whom they differ ?

this is lost, let them abandon THAR party

they will. Let them no longer profess to

they are willing to go with their party
