Clear the Way.

Free society in this country is an establish
ed fact. Whether we will or no il covers all
races aud sways the general mind We cannot
90 back if we would. This is fate. Destiny
wills it. The best we can do on all sides is
simply 10 accept the situation as we find it,
and 90 to work as good citizens and patriotic
men to develop our resources and advance the
common veal.
'God helps those who help themselves"
There is nothing more true than this. 1t Is
phiosophic as well rs dogmatic. II teaches
that faith and works go hand in hand. The
devout wish is cheered by the resolute act aud
he must be but dull observer who does not
see that change succeeds change, and that as
we go forward it does not stop to listen to tho
croakings of the past, but in harmony with
nature yields to the uninterrupted course of
things.
1t is in the spirit Of this sentiment that DEM
ocrats and Republicans Of all shades, who de-
sire a change, should canvass the work before
them. Energy, activity, aud enthusiasm
should clear the way and make sure the result.
There WAS time when prejudice and self
interest c0nsprcd to control majorites and
make the laws, bnt we believe this is passing
away. The mass of the people of this country
have gone a milestone beyond the contracted
dogmas and unequal exnctions of II darker era
than the one in which we now live. We stand
to-day on the common ground OF justice and
equal rights, and upon this we build that flu
ture whose name and fame we share Sunday

A Little History.

II is amusing TO hear few land they arc
very few Democrats declare that they cannot
from principle vote for Horace Greeley if the
Baltimore Convention nominates him. In the
first place, it you ask them what principle for
bids you find these broad minded gentlemen
MISLEADING personal prejudice for principle, and
looking upon Presidential elections and politi-
cal contests only in the light of personal is
sues They cannot comprehend how principles
can rise above the stature of their favorte or
oyer-reach the height of their hate. To them,
II is the man and not the principles that calls
for their suffrage, and ii you ask for a princi-
pie which underles the action Of their, party,
they give you their idea OF it by vituperating
some past act of some man or laudating some
act of some other individual--one may be
demasogue appealing by word and deed to
passion, the other n Statesman acting from
principle; hut our predetermined friends never
seem TO be aware of distinction. Then again,
they seem to be blind to any degree of conss-
tency, or any relation between the policy and
principles of party. If of one they know
little, of the other they know still less. Let
us see that if the Baltimore Convention endor-
SEES Greeley il will be departure from the
policy of the Democratic party and without
precedents, as we have Mt other times shown
that it will be no departure from principles.
Going no further back than ca, we find in
that year national precedent in the fact that
the Democratic party in National Convention
nominated Mcclellan who never was n pro-
nounced Democrat, and who, even in accept
ing his nomination, refused to stand on the
platform Of the Convention which nominated
him. And Democrats voted for him. In Vir-
ginia, the Democrats endorsed and voted foe
Walker, Republican, aud by electng him
Governor rescued their State from the evil of
Federal domination, aud now have the con-
troll of State Affairs. Ia Missouri the Demo-
Gratis endorsed b. Graz Brown, a Republican,
and by electing him Governor got the control
o. the State 10 come home, the Democrats
Of Maryland elected Thomas Swami, Cover
nor, and thus got control of the State. And
Swami, what was he Name everything, and
he was that except n Democrat
To hear man who voted for Tom Swami,
say he cannot vote for Greeley from principle,
even if nominated by the Baltimore Conven-
ton, is amusement enough in the way of abb
surdities for one day The Bachelor.

A GENTLEMAN No man is gentleman

RADICAL CONSISTENCY In their Philndel-
phia Platform they said :
The Republican party proposes to respect
the rights reserved by The people to Themselves
as carefully as the powers delegated by them
TO the State and to The Federal Government.
1t disapproyes Of the resort to unconstitutional
laws for the purpose Of removing evils, by an
interference with rights not surrendered BY
the people 10 either the State or tho national
Government.
And before this Platform had time to reach
the President and when the ink in which this
resolution was written WAS hardly dry tho
Republican party in Congress violated the
pledge bere made It passed the Enforcement
bill through the Senate, and thus disregarded
the reserved rights Of the people. II invaded
the powers delegated by The people to the State
government, assumed as delegated to the Fede-
raj Government powers no. enumerated in
the Constitution, aud resorted, as consc-
quenee, TO the passage Of an unconstitutional
law, and then outraged, not only by inierfer-
ence butby direct enactment, the rights Of tho
people, not surrendered TO the General Gov
ernment.-N Y. Egpress.
