United States. The Old enemy meets rs,
though under a ne,r face. As before he shall be-
con froHted' as before he shall De crushed" As
apiece Of sublime lmpudoncc the sentence that
we have itallCizcd 10 tho above quotation stands
alone, unapproached and uuapproachable, In
our political annals The man who wrote Il
must be daft Of imagine that bis rcaders arc
daft. The crowd that assembled at Union
Square on Thursday evening last never
marched anywhere except to prison and the
pcultentlary.
The Worlds article only goes to show the
utter hopelessness Of the Liberal Democratic
campaign. A desperate effort Is made In II
10 revive the dropping spirits Of its friends
to rally the shattered and broken ranks OF ils
party. Tho recent state elections, beginning
with North Carolina and Guiding with Maine,
arc, VIC arc told. OF no Significance whatever
II could not be expected that the New Eng
land States would vote other than Us they
have voted that they would 20 against the
Republican party. Mud this In the same
breath that we arc told the Republican party
|, dead; that the men who founded It are
marching out Of Union Square with the
bounty Jumpers, the hullUt.bON stuflcrs aud
the thieves OF Tammany Hall. I'VE have
only lust begun our part NJ the fighting, the
World adds at the close Of It's article. A II
never fought In tic past except. upon the
side Of disluyulty and treason, aud as II has
been always sOundly bcatcn In the contest,
we are inclined to think that the most that Il
eau now do will mi greatly trouble the Re-
publican party.
THE PENNSYLVANIA PILGRIM.
Whittier has recently produced charming
poem concerning the life Of one Of the
carly apostles Of freedom In Pennsylvania.
lie fought the good fight but did not live to
enioy the frultiOu Of his laburs, lie was a
good man, and Ia described:
"StTict to himself, OF othV men no spy,
| He male his own no circuit Judge TO Try
The frcer conscience Of his ncighbOrs by"
The good member Of the Society Of Friends
has been long gathered to his fathers, and Il
new pilgrimage and different pilgrim Is
now pensiyely FORMULATING Pennsylvania.
| He calls himself liberal" and believes Ia
the largest liberty for those who do not differ
with him. II any bentghted sou Of freedom
dares to support Grant then this modest
missionary muttcrs something about
bribery" aud inslnuatcs no man eau sus-
tain this Administration who Is not pur-
chased 10y one Of the mythical rings running
the Government Themodoru pilgrim Is given
to strong language, aml, like the great and
good Greeley, pOurs out hls yials OF wrath on
all who dare differ with him. Not regarding
the right OF free fpcevh and the wisdom OF
men agreeing tn diner peSccably, the gentle,
man we refer to Is continually trying other,
according to the court uf his own conscience
aud sentencing poor sinners Of Republicans
TO the political pillOry Tor having an opinion
contrary to the new cOnslstOry set up at Gin
cinnnti. Now we protect against this illlh
cral conduct upon the part of these loud
mOuthed Lip erals. Tue largest liberty to al
Is best for all. II Mcclure aud his little bant
Of noisy followers choose IN vote for Greeley
they but exercise their uuduubted right unde
tae Constitution guaranteeing to all the iTceB
franchise without regard to age, sex or pre-
yiOus condition" We do not fling ut Ma,

no; let the freedman 60 freely to the polls
and II he votes wrong this time he will surel,
do better next time.
The friends of tue President do not dosir
to spy into the motives Of others. We slmpl
ask fair play and no favors 10 Pennsylvania
or any other State.
