PEACE WITH ENGLAND !

Rejecting all quibbles and disputes what dip
lomAtic niceties the American people will hear
with profound and sincere pleasure that our
difficulty with England. over the =" indirect
claims, has been composed, and that too, ''in
manner honorable to both nations" There are
olasses among us who desire Peace, solely for
financial or business reasons, and there are other
classes who wish to have no Peace, but to
keep the wounds of feeling open, to serve
partisan and political ends. But the great
mass of intelligent, Christian men and
women, moved by the divinest feelings
Of the human mind, earnestly demand that
this greatest and worthiest attempt in the histo-
nv of the world, to settle national disputes by
the processes Of reason, on the basis of ascer-
tanned Justice, shall not fail. They sweep aside
all technical cavilings over small matters they
are willing 10 concede greatly to the spirit of
Harmony, and Rraternal Feeling and while
they do not feel required to sacrifice Honor, or
do Injustice, they have followed, with entire
willingness, the conciliatory spirit shown by the
Administration, going to the uttermost verge Of
concession, in the desire for Peace.
As eunderstandthe settlement, ii appears that,
in return for our giving up the claim for indi-
rect damage done us by Great Britain, she con-
cedes the rule Of international law, that here
after, in case, Of war, no neutral nation shall be
responsible to the belligerent powers, for dam
age indirectly, or consequentialy, done them
This is of value to the United States, because we
are not likely to engage in war with other nations
and when there is war, hereafter-as unhspplyi
there will emo doubt we shall be neutral, and
able to reap the advantage of the new rule
Whether the original demand for indirect dam
ages was wise, or otherwise, it appears we have
gained something by putting it in, and the con-
cession yielded, in return for its withdrawal, is
of substantial value. In any event, as mattel
of diplomacy, and National pride, we sacrifice
nothing while, in the discharge of Christian
duty, we have accomplished worthy and noble
action.
Down the dark future, through loRg generations
The echOing sounds grow fainter snd then cease
And like bell, with solema, sweet vibrations,
hear once more the voice Of Christ say PEAcS
"PKAck! and no longer from its brazen portals
The blast Of Wars great organ shakes the skies
But beautiful as songs OF the Immortals,
The holy melodies Of love arse'

A coon RuLE pIsAsrRousLY Applied.

The life OF political party is its principles.
When 1t renounces or anjures these, or consents
to subordinate them to views of temporary expe-
diency in a scramble for spoils or plunder itfor-
feits its selfrespect, and ceases to be respect
able.-N. Y, World
Yes, precisely so. But suppose we were to
judge the Worlds own party by such rule, as
that which the organ here proposes, and how
much that is respectable" would be left to it
From the time of it's overthrow, in 1860 down to
the present what have been it's principles"
but a continuous series Of temporary expedi-
ents to regain the spoils or plunder5" Let
any one look back the history of the Dem
ocracy. during the past twelve years, and see
what principle, asserted in their National Con-
ventions Of 1850 1864 and 1868 they adhere to.
Nearly every expression Of purpose, every az
proval Of measures, every declaration Of princi-
pls made at each Of these National gatherings,
has been abandoned, until there is now scarcely
one distinguishing characteristic by which We
can recognize the old Democratic platform in
the modern resolutions Of the party.
1t is true that the successive abandonment by
our opponents of position after position their
confused retreat from every declaration which
once they so strongly maintained-marks the
real progress Of free institutions and the de-
velopment of the Republic into truly Demo-
cratic government. On this account, good men
must rejoice, but they are not, unfortunately
for the Democratic Party. called upon to give il
the credit for this progress. Its retreat has
been compulsory 1t has yielded because it
could not successfully Withstand the pressure OF
the people. Its successive expedients for max
ing new resistance have never taken the form
of true and sound principles.
The theory of the World is good No just
man will discredit it. But when we apply the
rule with judicial frmness to that party which
is now rent in factional differences over the
question OF adopting Horace Greeley as its can.

Benu,ifyIpa D.Iaware Avenue.

From the earliest CLEANS OF Spring, to the lat
est tint Of Autumn, leisure hours send thousands
Of promenaders out the Avenue. 1t is a COM
panion stroll to that along the Brandywne, |
which so long as waters flow, trees cast shade, |
flowers bloom, and birds sing, will be attractive
and delightful.
Nature, however, has done nothing for the
Avenue, except to give it place The touches
of beauty must be supplied by mans art. To
some extent, this is being done, and while the
progress is not rapid, it is at least perceptible.
The triangular spaces left where the streets
cross each other obliquely, are being generally
beautided, as they readily may be. AT Tatnal
street, Mr.. Churchman'S fountain, and orna-
nented side-yard is an improvement universally
praised. Mr. Sharp, on the opposite corner, has
also pretty garden Of flowers. The little pub
lie square at Washington street has been some
what ornamented, but not nearly to the extent
it might be. The railing and fountain are well
enough, but the size of the plot is so small that
there should be only flowers, and small trees
inside the fence, or near it. The large old trees
that now stand there, dwarf the little enclosure
and prevent its miniature beauties from being
displayed
Further out the Avenue, the ''point, at the
junction Of the Kennett turnpike, is being much
improved, and with the addition Of the handsome
memorial fountain, which will soon be placed
there. in testimony to the worth of Ferris Brins-
hurst, it will become still further an object of
interest and a public ornament. At Broome
street, (pity it is, that so beautiful an Avenue,
enjoying the finest location in all our city, should
not have a name equal to its deserts,) the Sol
diers' Monument and grounds, though not yet
either enclosed properly ornamented nor paid
for, show, If they do not speak for them
selves. and the pretty pillar bears aloft the Ma
tional emblem triumphant over its foes, grace
fully and pleasingly.
There should be a warm, liberal, earnest dis.
position to make the many little improvements
which are yet needed to ill out the measure 0.
the Avenues attractions. The sidewalks, ii
many places are shockingly bad few weeks
ago when the frost came out, they were in
horrible condition, as many pedestrians car
testify. The defect should be remedied. lie
it be understood that this Promenade Of the
People must be well cared for, and made one O
the ornaments OF our city.

The action Of the House yesterday regarding
the pending tariff measures plainly indicates
that Mr.. Dawes is master OF the situation The
several votes sustaining him by two-thrds ma
j0rity show that he has power enough to carry
his bill through that body. 1t is similar to the
one carried through the Senate by Senator Sher

failures to reach concordant action between the
two houses a tariff bill Of some kind will be adopt

iron with tobacco, coal and other special inter.
ests have been utterly destroyed, leaving Mr..
Dawes in position which will enable him to
manage the House in such way as to get a
conservative conference committee, through the
agency of which compromise will be effected

NOMINATIONS.
IFrom the N. Y. World
The only argument we have heard for indors-
ing Mr.. Greelev by the Democratic National
Convention is that the ticket would siicceed
But what would such success be lcorh, Ii would
no doubt enable Mr.. Greeley to distribute the
Federal offices among Liberal Republicans and
Democrats in snch proportions as he might think
expedient; but of what value are offices pur-
chased by sacrifice of principle? OF all the
prominent public men OF the country there is no
one between whom and the Democratic party
there is 30 wide and deep gulf a. between it
and its lifelong assailant Horace Greeley. The
difference does MOI relate to merely transient
and temporary questions it goes down to the
very roots and philosophy Of government The
expedency Of nominating him does not at all
resemble the expediency Of nominating Chief
Justice Chase 10 1868 or the expectancy Of
nominating Charles Francis Adams now. Mr..
Greeley has been throughout his political career,
an ardent, bitter opponent OF the fundamental
philosophy Of the Democratic party. He has not
only opposed its particular measures, but the
underlying principles OF which those measures
we're the outgrowth and logical consequence.
THE DIsAPPoIETMEST IN THE LEGISLATURE.
From the N. Y. Tribune.l
And it must be considered that the results so
far accomplished are not satisfying to those
who were rich in faith. The Legislature has
evinced more timidity than esrnestness, and a
happy faculty for dallying with wrong-doing
rather than terrifying sternness toward evil
doers. Reforms in our City Government have
been granted sparingly, and only after mnch en-
treaty. Mouths were wasted before even the
mangled instrument OF the Committee Of Sew
enty was sent to the Governor, and to-day, with
the doors already open for the exit of the Leg
islsture, we are still governed by the Tweed
Charter and the hasty expedient Of Senator
Palmer trembles IN the Governors hands be-
tween life and death. Nothing has been done
to change the oppressive machinery of the
courts, though one unjust Judge has been dnv-
| on from the bench by the power of public opin-
ion the Legislature has taken hold OF the others
in timorous aud hesitating manner. We have
/ secured Legislative consent to two or three
