TIE PARTY OF THE FUTURE.

tory can add to or take from it. Though
all mankind reject it, the truth must ever
stand firm, and in the end be triumphant.
The Cincinnati Convention placed, in the
form of declaration, statement of the ac-
tual condition of public aflrrs, and an en-
phatic assertion of the true constitutional
policy of the Government. There was no,
an honest and intelligent man in all the broad
land who did not, and who will not now adj
nit, that the declaration made at Cincinnati
was true to the letter, was truth in fact,
truth in principle. Against that declaration
there has been hardly a voice rails d; its ac-
cusations have been admitted and confirmed,
and its principle conceded to be impregnable.
In support of that declaration, the best and
purest men of the country, wit out reference
to any former party affiliations, have united
Democrat with Republican. Against it
have united thousands of men, equally ho =
est and intelligent, who have considered
themselves under some sacred obligation to
adhere to party commands. Money and Of
flee being ranged wholly on the side of the
party in power, the mcrccnary bands of
American politics have nockcd to that stand
ard. The men who hold and control the
money of tho overnment h.ve offered tc
hire the votes of these mercenaries, and the
latter have taken the money and voted for
their employers. The election in the city OF
Philadelphia will stand forever disgrace to
that city, to the State, and to the nation. II
is the first time in the history of the country
that there was an open and acknowledged
sale and purchase of perhaps % 900 votes
There is not even denial of the shameless
and Wholesale proiligacy
The victory in Pennsylvania has, we fear,
inaugurated a new system in political ma
chncry; system i which money counts fol
more than principle, and in which the means
are made altogether subordinate to the end
The union in PHILADELPHIA of all the purchas-
able voters in the country, of the worst
specimens of the repeaters, ballot-hox stuff
fers, and forsworn Inspectors of Election
together with the honest but ignorant mass
of the colored people, would be alarming as
to the probable future OF tie country were it
not that the ominous conjunction will, in
time, awaken public attention to the national
peril, and eventually unite the common in
teligcnce and integrity of the country against
corruption, crime and ignorance. Though
the Liberal candidates have been rejected
Under the excitement of Presidential elec
ton, by the people of Pennsylvania and Ohio
in 1872, the cooler judgment of the people OF
those States will lead them irresstbly into
hearty cooperation with all others equally
honest and intelligent, and, in 1876, the
State which has elected Hartranft, the con
federatc of Ycrkes, will wipe out, so far as
practicable, the recent terrible disgrace
Though defeated now, the Liberal party
is the coming power. Though overwhelme1
for the present, it is the means destined in
the next four years to rescue the Government
the country and the public liberty from the
dangers and perils that now threaten them.
AMEs DENIAL IS A LIE.-Mr. Ames comes
in with his promised denial of course. He
,,gare" no stock to members of Congress to
induce favorable legislation for the Pacific
Railroad. But will he 90 on to the stand,
and under Doth, answer few questions?
Did he not offer to various members shares
in his enterprise, with guaranty that they
should pay generous profit? And did he
not urge the taking of them again and again
upon his associates? Didn some take them,
and did not those, who did have them, re-
alize handsome gains without running any
risks in return? Aud was not the distinct
understanding, nay, the positive assurance
given that they should do SO? Mr.. Ames'
denial is at least Il subterfuge. IL has all
The moral character Of q lie. His own un-
denied letters show this plain enough, and if
Henry Wilson, James G. Blaine and Henry
L. Dawes, and dozen other members OF
Congress can be got to tell all they know on
the subject, it will be proven beyond the
shadow of doubt before the whole world
ADDRESSING HEAVEN THRoUGH KEYHoLE.
Horace Walpole describes a scene as hav
ING taken place in Queen Anne's tring room
which actually occurred in that of Queen
Barolipe, wife of George H.. who dressed
and transacted her morning worship at the
same time, she and her nymphs being in one
room, the chaplain alone in the next. Occa
sjonally the maids closed the door, when
Winston, the chaplain, ceased to pray, and
meditated on the mysterious proceedings with
in. This nettled the Queen, who one morn
ing finding that he had not proceeded with
his devotions while the door had been closed +,
angrily asked why he STOPPED. Whiston
replied: 81 stopped because | do not choose
to whistle the word of God through key
hole"
JUST THE DrFERENoE.-V Virginia under
Democratic rule, had established over 700
schools for the colored man, while South
Carolina, under Radical rule, has not only
done nothing for them, but the Radical State
Government has stolen all the school money
and broken down the negro schools already
established. The two State Governments
fairly illustrate The policy and practice be-
tween the two parties. .-Balttmore Sun.
THE Administration papers have no right
to complain of Mr.. Greeley's campaign speech
es. Gen. Grant took the stump II long time
ago. But his stumping always ends in
smoke.
