POLITICAL CONSISTENCY.

True consistency is not an obstinate adj
herence to means, it is a steady pursuit Of
ends This truth, which no one questions
in reference to private affairs, is never
thcless strangely misunderstood by the
majority when politics are considered. In
every other concern a man may vary his
means as judgment may dictate accord
ing to the various changes in his circum-
Stances or the fluctuations Of the business
world. If he has made an unwise invest
ment, as soon as he discovers his mistake
he withdraws his funds and places them
otherwise. His object is to obtain the best
return for his money consistent with safe
| ty and honesty. His bitterest enemy
would not think Of such conduct as Gin
consistent" In politics, however, the
case is different. Except in seasons Of
revolutionary excitement, when the tumult
Of the times carries men il all directions,
and prophecy rs to individual ac-
ton is completely at fault, a man
is expected to take sides on assuming the
duties Of citizenship, and ever afterwards
stick to his party through thick and thin,
whether right or wrong; nay, to be inca
pable Of perceiying whether it is right or
not, but implicitly following the party
lead. Many men are SO constituted as to
take pride ID such servility, to boast of
having never voted any but the regular
party ticket, Everybody knows where
to find me, exclaims old Stick-in-the-
mud, pompously; s'true blue forever"
All the while, perhaps, the blues are ad-
vocatine doctrines directly opposite to
those they protested when he joined their
standard.
A thinking man forms an idea Of certain
definite ends to be accomplished by q GER
tain party organization; ana gives or with
draws his support according as the means
proposed by such party. tend to accom-
plish such end Sometimes the most
astute will be temporarily misled; in which
case it would be not only folly but dis
honesty, after having learned Of such mis-
take, to continue acting in violation Of
ones own sense Of right, rather than ac-
knowledge having been in error. It would
be a very poor consistency that would re-
tain man on a vessel bound to q port OPP
posite his intended destination because he
had got on her IN mistake Even if all
his worldly goods were embarked thereon,
d sensible man wouldbe glad to learn Of
his mistake in time, and remedy it, though
At loss.
As parties are now divided in this coun-
try. many man who has lnaintainada life 4

A LITTLE HONESTY WANTED.

Good faith is an essential clement in
working out the success Of any unaertak-
ing, but good faith seems to be one Of the
qualities that the Democracy is most lack
| ing in. This accounts for its many de-
featB-that as it has set cut 50 often to
cheat its enemies it has at last lost the
confidence Of its own friends, as will al
ways be the case. Without referring to
examples to prove our position, tile lack
Of earnestness which the Democrats dis
play in accepting Of Sheridan and Arm
stead, is well calculated to weaken the
faith Of the friends Of these gentlemen ia
the good faith Of the Democracy ii
its disposition to forget its prejudices.
AS lIr Fleming said, there is moth
ing against Mr.. Sheridan but the
fact that be has held an Office
Of great profit under a Republican State
administration, and that he is not an old
settler. The only objection that can be
urged against Armstead is his color. Now
the principle upon which the fusion ticket
was nominated was just this: that Messrs.
Sheridan and Armstea0 could bring some
strength to the ticket from the Republican
party, and that they would receive some
strength from the Democracy which, be-
ing mutual exchange, would strengthen
both sides. The reason why the nonina-
tons We're made being plain, it IS per
fectly clear that both parties to the ar
rangenent must act in good faith, or the
advantages Of the transaction viii be
lost The Democrats must keep to
their contract with fidelity or they will
suffer the loss OF that material which
they contracted to obtain, They acted
with singular want Of providence if
they traded for that which they intend
to throw away. And yet this seems to be
just what they are doing in the present
case by their singular Inconsistency in |
nominating Sheridan and Arnstead and
then abusing them upon frivolous charges
atterwari. Either the transaction that
resulted il the adoption q Tie fusion /
ticket must be maintained il all its parts
Or It will be broken in all Even the IN
tnto1ed instinct Of the savage saw through
the trade Of the hunter Who offered to
take The turkey and give tie Juzzard to
the Indian, Or to let he Indian take the
Onzzard while he took tie turkey. These
2ne-sided exchanges are not made often
With success, and We ad1nonisb the De.
noeracy that this IS not a good oppor-
unity to win by that sort Of bargaining.

PARTISAN INr0LFRENcP.

ln ne country is the spirit Of the pqrti.
san 50 fercely cultivated as il tie United
States. The mere freedom Of orinion. Is
paradozical as It may appear, begets tile
grossest intolerance. Nor is it perhaps
surprising, in view Of the fact, that each
man is taught to believe that upon his pe-
culiar political doctrine depends the
safety, i net the pecmanencv, of free ill.,
stitutions.
The Democrat is BY nature strict in tie
Interpretation Of constitutional principles.
On No occasion is he willing to 90 outside
Of tie letter Of that instrument. Ha
glories in the faith which Jefferson
taught and Madison and jackson illus
trated; lie believes in following strictly
the doctrines Of the constitution and
abstaining totally from the exercise
Of any doubtful power So straight
laced in political orinion-so uncom-

The REPUBLICAN made 10 allusion te
the seventh justice Of the peace in the re-
marks the other day upon a Pure Judici-
ary." We referred in very plain language
to the case Of tie sixth justice. The fact,
therefore, that the seventh justice was APP
pointed by the Governor had nothing at
all to do with the question. But the fact
is sufficiently shown that the writer in the
P;2ay2n1s was Wo1ully ignorant Of the
subject he attempted to discuss. The
justice who was tried by the First District
Court was elected by the people. The
officer referred 70 by the Picaglaas IS
having been tried was appointed by the
Governor, but we have heard no com
plant against him. Our neigbbor would
DO well to glance over his own local
columns occasionally, and thereby avoid
such stupid blunders.

ON WITH TIE HIGHT.

A paddock was put upon the Picayale
concerning the Louisiana State Lottery,
and it was charged that Mr.. 1IcCloskey
knew something about the matter. He
denied the insinsuation, and promised to
show that the author Of the charge was
wrong, and that the charge itself was a
scandal that originated in the desire Of
some vile and venomors party to injpre
him. This McClo5hey promised to *
plain and denounce, we prepared our
selves to hear a detonati7n worthy Of
first-clas8 soda shop. It has bot made
itselfauaible yet. McClosRey has neither
riddled nor exploded anybody. A very
mild and iukewarm statement that looks
like a consent while il PreteDds to be
denial, is all that We have seen On the
subject, and it lies upon our stomachs
like stale soda water. We demand the
active babbling stuff itself Not an at
tack upon the lottery company, not an
assault upon Mr.. Howard for being lot
terry man, but rafting and vindictive
onslaught upon the parties vino put the
paddock on the mouth Of the Pjcoyspe
while the Cerberus Of the concern was
asleep, and who kept it there even after
eIbeTQs had fully recovered his eresight.

it cant digest them. Indeed, don't be-
Ee7e any party can; and, Therefore, the
Louisville convention must prepare a re-
ceptacIe for them when they act on tie
Liberal stomach as an eDletic.
This We think Just explanation Of the
situation. There is no degree Of natural
harmony between Liberal and Democratic
principles One is the. ofsboot Of pure
repubIcanism; the other is the outg1owth
Of State rights as understood il the light
Of State sovereignty, is impossible that
harmony should exist between them. The
Louisville convention may not accomplish
a great deal, but it viii at least keep intact

The Pieaya1e threatens the whole 5aai-

the manner in which justice has been aa-
ministered during the last four years. We
advise our nejghbor to be a little careful
Of his facts and not rush into court, as
usual, without knowing anything Of his
case. It's first duly should be to con by
rote the names of the several judges and
the courts they belong to, as also the
mode Of their elevation to the bench.
Since the P5aayl1ns tried and convicted
the wrong man, merely to make q point
against the Governor, the people are a
little suspicious Of its statements.
