No RIGHT TO FIND FAULT.-Let us hear
no more fault-fnding from Democrats be
cause the tariff is not reduced. The follow
ing from the New York World must operate
as what the lawyers call an estoppel: q y
The votes yesterday indicate quite conclu-
sively that greater reduction than 10 per
cent. on iron, steel, and textile fabrics cannot
be secured. Owing to the coalition of the
pig-iron Democrats and the Pennsylvania
Republicans, and the disgracefdl absenteeism
OF some of the Democratic members, the tar
lfntes nave things pretty much their own
way. Had it not been for Democratic absen-
tees the duty on pig-iron would have been

Horace Greeley's Real Views.

The late editor of the Tribune is now so
madly bent on securing from the Democratic
Convention an endorsement of his nominal
ton that the Democrats themselves are shock
ed and disguised at his shameless subseryien-
CIV. The same man wrote the following SEN
fences twenty years ago concerning the party
which he is now so insanely anxious to concili-
ate. He has repeated the same ideas in sub
stance almost weekly until very recent perl
cd. Here is what he says of the principal ele-
ments that make up the Democratic party:
But point wherever you please to an election
district which you will pronounce morally rot
ten, given up in great part to debauchery and
vice, whose voters subsist mainly by keeping
policy offices, gambling houses, grog-shops,
and darker dens Of infamy, and that district
will be found at nearly or quito every election
giving large majority for that which styles it.
self the Democratic party. Thus the Five
Points" is the most Democratic" district of
our city; The Hook" follows not very for be-
hind it, and so on. Take all the haunts of de-
bauchery in the land, and you will find nine
tenths of their master-sprits active partisans of
that same Democracy, What is the instinct,
the sympathetic chord, which attaches them SO
uniformly to this party?
This is certainly stating the case rather
strongly, but whatever truth there was in the
declaration when it was made, is in it now
Nay, by means of uniform and consistent
support of the rum power, the Democratic
party has absorbed its devotees more COM
pletely than then, SO that Mr.. Greeley's state
ment is more nearly true now than it was
when it was written. So fully was he i'm
pressed with the undesirable composition and
principles Of the Democratic party, that he
closed his frank description of it in the fol-
lowing impassioned language: "MAY IT BE
WRITTEN ON MY GRAVE THAT NEVER WAS
ITS FOLLOWER, AND LIVED AND DIED IN
NOTHING ITS DEBTOR. r-...
Alas! how the nobler aspirations and emo
tons of men are dcadened and smothered
by that most baneful of passions, ambition.
How the warm, pure and patriotic devotion
to principle, truth, justice and humanity
grows faint and disappears, as age creeps on,
and selfish aspirations gain the upper hand
in the old mans mind. Here is the chival-
rous Horace, aged sixty-one, standing mendi-
cant-like, white hat in hand, begging in no
doubtful phrase for the votes of the party
whose master-spirits are furnished by the
"haunts of debaucheryr' Heaven help
