AMERICANS ON THE STREETS IN EUROPE. =
G.. C. Fulton, editor Of the Baltimore Amcri-
can, who is writing series of interesting let
ters from Europe, says:
"Our little party are very plainly dressed
and very plain looking people, arrayed, precise,
ly as other people are here IN London, and
moving along modestly and quietly on the
thoroughfares. STILL by some kind ofintuitloD
even the children on the streets recognize US
as Americans, and many stop to stare at and
turn to look after us. We frequently hear the
exclamation Americans from old and young
aud imagine that there is good feeling and re.
spect in the recognition. The cab drivers ali
know an American, aud rush to secure him ;
the bootblacks are equally as pertinaclous, and
the shopkeepers evlnce evident gratlncation
when an American enters their doors. Prlces
advance wherever they go, and as they spen,d
their money like princes the world is hlled with
wonder as to how they manage to get SO much
of it. The possession of money and Its hoeral
expenditure by those who are supposed to have
earned it is a novelty n Europe, and the Am
erican is the only traveller who does not keep
tight watch upon his purse-strings. Ihey
try to account for it by supposing that living
is so costly in America that our countrymen
save money by spending their summer Vaca'
,ions in Europe, or that they stint themselves
at home to come over here and make splurge.
That the American is more OF an enigma at the
present time in Europe than ever before Is
very perceptibe, and that John Bull is more
at a loss than ever before to tathom his Amerl-
can cousin is eviuced by all classes was as
sured yesterday by an English gentleman that
an emigration of English mechanics and aggrl.

The use Of this Guano since its introduction,

The great argument of the
Grant men is that he is paying
the national debt. Yes! but
whose money is he paying with?
Aud how much more of it would
have been paid had not SO much
been plundered from the National
Treasury by his defaulting ap-
pointees? And how much faster
1t would be paid if the hundred
and fifty millions Mr.. Boutwell,
keeps locked up and idle in the
Treasury e wisely invested?
And if he cared much about pay
ing the national debt, would he
have had the most extravaganza
Administration since the Govern
ment was founded? His. friends
talk as Though he were paying
the rationale debt out of his own
pocket, as Webster once proposed
to do when he threw his empty
wallet down upon his desk in the
Senate Chamber; but the truth is,
he has grown rich on the spoils
of his office, and has helped his
friends to fortune, and has seen
the public money absorbed by
defaulters and squandered by the
Administration without a mur>
muir, and to-day is using the trea-
sure of the nation to secure his
own reelection for another term.
And this is the man who is pay
lug the national debt! The claim
is almost too preposterous to be
absurd, and those who make it
must be strangely misinformed,
or think other men are idiots.

The feeling all over the coun-
try seems to be that a change
would not come amiss. The Re-
publican party has been such a
strong one and has welded such
an enormous power that many
men whom it has brought to the
surface and who are managing it
have come to the conclusi n that
they own the whole country and
the offices are for their special be-
hoof and profit. 1t is about time
to correct this idea, to show those
individuals that the offices are for
the benefit of the whole people,
We have too many rings. Rings
in every State, county and towns
ship, and a change all round
would be of great benefit. The
present year offers a magnificent
opportunity to smash rings, which
we are inclined to think the peo-
pie will take advantage of.

Every one who chooses to live
by pugilism Or gambling, or mar
lotry, with nearly every keeper of
a tippling house, is politically a
Democrat. Don't be alarmed,
dear reader, we are only quoting
Horace Greeley.-Clev. Leader.
Mr.. Greeley may have used the
above language when Ben. But
Ter. O.. P. Morton, John A. Logan,
and U. S. Grant belonged to the
Democratic party; but as these
men have changed their winds,
Mr.. Greeley has also changed his
opinion.

EoiISOM.

Here is a neat and truthful boil
ing down of Henry Wilson's cur
ious Know Nothing record:
1. lie believed in refusing the
right of suffrage to foreign born
citizens.
2. Heidi not believe in refus-
ing the right Of suffrage to for,
eign born citizens, but only said
that ne did.
3. If he did not believe in re-
fusing the right of suffrage to
foreign born citizens, he must
have had an object in view in
saying that he did.
4. He was elected to the SEN
ate Immediately after the great
Know Nothing triumph, and by
Know Nothing votes.
If there are any Know Moths
ings left, how can they vote for
this double-distilled traitor and
hypocrite, who used them for his
own selfish purpose? And how
can a foreign born citizen sup
port a man who owes his politi-
cal elevation to Know Nothing
votes?

An exchange thus appeals to a
very unambitious character: John
Smith, why will you continue in
obscurity, only known to your
grocer and butcher, and content
to creep like the hyena, when
you might soar like the eagle?
Just announce that you are a
Democrat, but can't go Greeley,
and Grant papers will thunder
the name of "Hon. John Smith"
to the smallest hamlet of the Pa,
cifc coast.

Tne Great Uprising.

The noblest and grandest step
ever taken by any political party
in our dav was the action of the
| Democracy in National COnven-
ton at Baltimore. 1t was not, a S
the organs of the Brass Collar
party assert, a surrender of fun
damental principle, but unquali>
fed obedience to the popular will
by the representatives assembled
as the supreme tribunal OF the
party. The nomination of the
man who was unquestionably the
most formidable and persistent
adversary during former party is
sues, cor Id only be brought a.
bout by a great and gratifying
change of feeling on the part of
the masses-a change from bit
terness and hatred to friendship
and sincere desire to assure for
the future true fraternal relations
and good will among. all the PEG
pie of every section Of the coun-
try, without regard to nativity,
race or religious creed.
The union of the Progressive
Democracy with the Liberal Re-
publicans, upon one broad and
