An Historical Parallel.
IFrom the Oreponian.l


Prior TO the year 1872 the old Fed
eral party had been successfully de-
feated in three Presidential election.
For twelve years they had been exlcud.
ed from power. For the same period
the Democratic party has been out of
power. In the year 1872 opposition
arose in the dominant party to the re-
election of President Madison. That
opposition wac leo by DE With Clinton,
of New York, man with large ability
and experience, statesman of wide
celebrity, whose talent and character
com manded universal respect. A large
section of the party was opposed to the
re election of Madison. They claimed
that it would be disastrous to force him
on the party a second time. The De-
mecracy contained peace party aud a
war party. There was an anti-admln-
istration split.otf. Prominent men.
Senators and Representatives in Con-
gress, leading politicians in various
parts of the country, deserted Madison.
Foremost aRons them was Senator
Giles, Of Madison own State Virginia.
man of great power. These anti nd !
ministration elements tried to prevent
the re nomination af Madison, as Schruz
Trumble and Fenton tried to prevent
the reorganization OF General Grant.
and failed. They then boted and
nominated candidate of their own
This candidate was De Witt Clinton
The old Federal party then occupied
precisely the position that the Demo-
cratic party occupy now. Long out Of
power, they thought they really saw
their opportunity. They gathered 10
New York to nominate candidates.
Clinton was urged upon them. IL
was bitter pill, for Clinton had always
been Democrat of the Jefferson school
The question was whether it would be
possible to swallow Clinton for ahe sake
&C victory. Finally the o'd traditions
of the party were laid upon the altar.
+" Anything to beat Madison proved
the successful war cry, aud Clntoa was
endorsed for President, with Jared In
.erspll for Vice President. Thus the
canvass Of 1912 presents complete
analogue or the canvass OF 1872, only
then the split off was from the Democ-
racy and the "Feds" furnished the "big
end of the transaction.
The campaign was an unusually ex-
citing one. but the outcome was tri-
umph for the "stra,ghts.' Madison
received of the ELECTORAL vote i2S,
Clinton 80 while Gerry as Vice Presi-
dent received 13l and IngersolI sc.
The Liberal" Democratic move-
mcnt of 1872 was precisely analogous
to the Liberal Republican movement
of to-day. The Federals "endorse,l'
the bolt and accepted its candidate, pre-
cisely as the Democrats have done now
Nothing is wanting to complete the
parallel but the defeat Of the combina-
t,on new, as it was defeated then.
This final act will be consumated 10
November. A party which abandons
it's prin :iples for the sake ofexpedieney,
invariably comes to grief. 1t was so
with the Federal party in 1912; it was
so with the Whig party 10 1882 and
will be so with the Democratic party in
1872.

Either the late rebels of the South
expect to control Mr.. Greeley's ad-
ministration aud mould him to their
own purposes, in case he is elected, or
their humility aud forgiving spirit ex-
ceeds all christian example. Ouly few
years ago. just before the war, gentle
man of our acquaintance, visiting city
in Arkansas on business, was called
upon by friend, a gentleman OF great
kindness Of heart and moderation of
sentiment, who was himself slave
holder. During the call our friend
busted himself in unpacking his trunk
Uurolling package, he threw the pa
per in which it was done up" upon
the floor.
Colonel" said the old gentleman,
STOPPING forward with an anxious look,
!" what paper is that p
q That" said our friend, turning it
over to find the heading, " oh, it is the
.New York Tribune I"
Well," said the other in low,
cautionlng tone, there is great deal
of excitement among our people, and
if it should get out that you had
brought that paper into this State, it
might cause you serious trouble. To
be sure We are your friends, and could
protect you from violence, but it would
embarfass us all very seriously. Won't
you just put it out of sight and destroy
1t before il ia seen z"
Certainly, certainly. / did not
notice or care what paper wrapped
my new coat in and the Tribune
went into the stove forthwith, and
Horace Greeley would have been
hanged or burned in less than an hour
had he been there himself.
And had Greeley's advice been fol
lowed, when he wished for separation
sand the perpetuation of slavery, rather
than war to save the Union, he could
NOT to-day set his foot in slave State
without being instantly murdered
This shows how well ii was that he was
not President instead Of Lincoln and had
not enough influence to secure the sue
cess of the Rebellion. For now, il
spite of himself, the Tribune may cir
culate In Southern States-he may ev
en- travel there in safety-and what i
more strange, the very men who wonie
murder him to-day, had he had h''
way,in securing their success, are ready
to vote for him.

that the press il untrammelled--tha

ABOUT WHIsKERs.-The Hillsboro
North Carolina) Rerie~ gives Us this
bit OF information concerning whiskerz:
Did you know that iu is i6 pair of
wh.skers or such thing ss Il mustache
was abominated ia this section ! We
know prominent gentleman of this
town who says he never saw a man with
a beard till 1850; that his father, as
other old gentlemen OF the town, never
wore whisker, but shaved evr"y
morning. aud taught their children that
j" xhiskers were an abomination and a
sio +" lie says that at Chapel Hill, in
1916, young gentleman came from
Raleigh (and now a prominent citizen
of that city) made weak attempt to
raise mustaehe, aud it raised such
commotion that the faculty took hold
Of it aud sent the Rev. Dr. Deems,
now of New York, and then one of the
Board, 10 the young man to reason with
him, and get him to shave his upper
lip. The DR.. appealed TO the young
man, for tie sake of his sainted father,
to cut it of, and If net for his sake,
for 6 DDS sake to cut it off. And the
hairs disappeared. Only sports and
circus riders wore whiskers in those
days. Our informant now wears a
heavy beard, and is not little proud OF
his mustache. How times do change

Not many minutes elapsed before in

announcement:

this little family redundancy; but ris-
