Circumstances alters cases The editor OF the
Trss in his Washington correspondence yes'er-
day morning expresses ainazement at the IDEA Oh
the Democrats surrenderiing to Greeley we
share IN his amazement. TOR We can do 80 COLI
sistently but that a change Of political base
should cause Colonel Forney surprise is to US a
marvel OF all men living there is no one from
whose pen such sentiments as the following could
with worse grace:
"Just think for a moment Of any Democrat
supporting Horace Greeley. 1t is almost as
difficult task as for Greeley to support the
Democrats. Both sides have been abusing each
other for generation. You could I'LL library
with their crmnations and recrimlnatons. They
have never agreed on any one thing except the
bailIng OF jefferson Davis. 1t is true they agree
hating Grant; but that is poor tie to bind
party. Men may agree to unite for a purpose,
hat party is OF slow growth. 1t must rest on
luutui reIir /, not common dislike OF some
body else. Nor can II live on a compact OF sudden
conversion 10 hateful doctrines. Mr.. Greeley
cannot give up the convictions OF n tusy life.
even if he tried ever 81 much He cannot obi
terate the Auii-Democratic volumes he has writ
ten with ali the glfts of rich intellect and all the
intensity OF trenchant nature. Equally dihi-
cult Will 1t be Tor Democrats OF equal standing on
that side to obterate all they have spoken and
printed against Mr.. Greeley's dogmas."
We admit the difficulties OF the case, but
equally serious have ieen overcome. For
Instance, We readily recall the day when to sup
pose that the editor of the Tennsvlvanian could
ever become the editor OF Republican journal
like the Press would have been to offer bld fol
boarding and lodging with DR.. Kirkbrde and
vet the thing was done. and thoroughly done
ihat the transiormatio has been complete a.
that OF a tadpole 10 n frog. The stern and un
comprising edition OF the old Democratic orgsn OF
the commonwealth, like Jonah's gourd, grew ul
INTO the form of staunch and uncompromisinf
Republican III single night. We remember wei
what trenchant blows he used to deal out to the
opponements Of Democracy how fierce were his
expressions OF contempt and dislike !; how louc

old love TO take TO his arms the opponent,
