dency to monarchy. We believe that he has
carefully and conscientiously confined his
authority and his power to the execution
of the laws, and that he entertains not
the remotest design or wish to make HIM
self Caesar. But circumstances are often
stronger than men, and 1t Is an old maxim
that "power is always stealing from the many
to the few" Hence we fear that there will
be danger to the country, not from General
Grant in his election third time as Presi-
dent, but from the precedent and from the
possible conditions of his third term, over
which he may have no control, and no course
except that of submission to the party oil
garchy that may be gathered around him. If
we become familiarized with three, four and
five terms for President, we may learn to
sink his election first, in mere formality, and
next, to sink it absolutely.
But we are here considering the new de-
parture Of the democratic party and upon
this important subject Mr.. Stephens declares,
as his deliberate convictions, that the saliva
ton of our free institutions mainly depends
upon the democracy-that their mission is to

out with General Grant, for that if the demo-
Gratis join these malcontent republicans to
beat Grant on Cmsarism for running o third
time he will be more decisively triumphant
over them in the next contest than he was in
the last In any event Mr.. Stephens holds it
is the duty and will be the salvation ofthe
democracy to stick to the constitution and
their old party landmarks of strict construc-
ton and the rights of the States.
The democracy Of Ohio have anticipated

relieved Of dead issues, and the party in Penn.
sylvania, New York and throughout the coun-
try will doubtless follow this example, and
particularly in casting overheard the liberals,
styled by Mr.. Stephens ''the malcontent
republicans" But what will be the prospect
to the democracy in 1876 against General
Grant in the field for third term, or what
will be their chances in 1880 against him for
fourth election, taking into the estimate the
enormous powers of patronage, banks, bond
holders, corporations, &C., ct his service, and
for the sake of preventing any disturbance in
the existing order of things? This question
brings US back again to that Of C@sarism,
where for the present, we submit the subject
to the consideration of our democratic con-
temporaries on their new departure to their
old sanctuary.

The PROSECUTION IN THE ITALIAN BOYS
CASE FAILED because the matter was not
well handled, and because these taking up the
cause of these poor Italian vagrant children
have jumped at conclusions instead Of search
ing out facts. There can hardly be doubt
that these wretched boys and girls, some of
whom are mere children, have been brought
into sort Of slavery either by kidnapping or
through the Misrepresentation of the pa
drones and their agents and the necessities of
not very tender or scxupulous parents. If
they have not been stolen they have in most
cases been sold in an indirect manner, and are
to all intents as much the slaves of their masters
hero as the negroes in the South were. There
is evidence enough to show this to be the case,
yet the prosecution in the first case brought
up failed. Let us hope the matter will not
be dropped, and that more care and skill will
be shown hereafter. This kind of traffic and
the cruelty involved ore inimical to our insti-
tutions and the Spirit Of the age. + the
evil be not throttled at once. the country will
be overrun with these imported and helpless
Migrants.

NATIONAL TEMPERANCE CONVENTION. -This
Convention Is now in session In Saratoga, and
embraces among Its members large number
of gentlemen distinguished for their services
in the great cause of temperance Among the
subjects Of discussion proposed for the present
gathering are the following: The Church and
Temperance, Drinking Usages Of society,
Temperance Id Educational Institutions, In
ebriate Asylums and Alcoholism, The Rela-
tons of Drunkenness to Crime, the Sabbath
and the Beer Question, Parental RESPONSE
bility, Intemperance among Women, National
Legislation, Temperance Literature, and last
but not least. the Financial Question. There
are other topics embraced in the programme,
but we think if the Convention handles those
enumerated above with proper care and de-
liberation it will accomplish all that can be
expected Of it. At any rate, we hope that the
present convocation will not end, as most of
its predecessors have, in an essential Azzls,
and do more harm than good to the great
cause intended to be promoted.

The Massachusetts Campaign Tor Cow

The Massachusetts Campaign for Gov.
General Butler made his first campaign
speech for the Bay State Governorship Last
night at Worcester, so that the political situa-
ton begins to assume some definite shape,
although the nominations are not yet
made. The anti-Butler republicans or
Hamilton Hall party issued an address
reviewing tho administration of Governor
Washburn and urging upon their friends to
see to it that the choice of delegates to the
Convention shall not go by surprise or default
It has leaked out that the Butterflies have
arranged to have o number of delegate meet
ings held simultaneously in various parts of
the State General Butler certainly does not
intend to allow his enemies the pleasure
of his silence. His address last night, deliv-
cred in Judge Hoars Congressional district,
was mainly in reply to that gentleman's letter
denunciatory of the redoutable Benjamin. 1t
was pungent and vigorous He handled his
traducer without gloves, after his usual
fashion, and was much moro emphatic than
refined. 1t forms q curious contrast
to the circular of the Washburnites published
yesterday. In the latter General Butler is as
sailed only as a negation with Governor
Washburn as his foil; in the former the
Washburn people are treated to plentiful per-
sonalities, while their defects are intimated by
their failure to come up to the stand
ard of patriotism, virtue and god
illness as seen in General Butler,
when sketched by himself. The materials for
the sketch he obtains from his record, and he
touches up the lines with tho apparently
careless dash of the master hand. The WASH
burnites must unsheath their weapons if they
have any, for Benjamin F. is afeld. The
trouble with the party of respectables is, that
they do not wish to say that they ore
opposed to Butler because Of bis being
ssvuigar," while that Is the real basis Of
their dislike. He is good enough to fight
their enemies, but except as janissary
they do not want him. To acknowledge
the cause of their opposition would be
opposed to all oman and brother" principles.
Their weakness in this respect may
give Butler majority in the Convention.
What will Beacon Street do then?
Meanwhile the democrats are preparing for
their annual funeral, and will have no trouble
in selecting the individual who shall personate
the character Of chief mourner.

Frightening Prospects OF tho Spanish
Republic.

Frightening Prospects OF tho Spanish
Republic.
The Carlists have met with reverse before
Estella which shows that the Spanish govern
ment are strengthening their position in the
field. The desultory mountain warfare which
the Carlists waged with whatever advantage
could be gained from 1t seems des-
tined to be tho limit of their sue
cess. That the government troops numbered
FIVE thousand and whipped their opponents,
who numbered three thousand, is sign of
the right sort that the Madrid authorities un-
derstand their duty to the country. Nothing
short Of gross Encouragement or half-hearted-
ness con account for the fact that the fol-
lowers Of the Bourbon pretender have been
allowed hitherto to choose their ground and
the conditions under which they fought The
solitary column cut off by the -Carlists and the
small garrison surprised by them became
every day stories showing the want Of general
ship among the republican commanders. It
may afford some consolation to the Carlists
that they were outnumbered, but that shows
their weakness, while it Is on apology for their
defeat Don Alfonso, brother of the Pretender,
and Generals Ollo and Tristany are reported
among the wounded. The debris Of their
army took the road for the French frontier,
while the Carlist forces at Berga have with
drawn from their position. If the govern
ment act with energy there Is little doubt that
the Carlist faction can be soon deprived of
further power for mischief.
With the insurgents at Cartagena not much
progress has been made Difficult of attack
by land or sea, it would seem that the city can
only be reduced by regular siege. The with
drawal of Admiral Lobos out of range Of the
shore batteries held by the insurgents does not
promise speedy end to the difficulty. The
action of the British authorities at the request
be 1t noticed, of the Germans, in ordering
restoration Of the ships captured by the insur-
gents and taken from them by the English, is
an additional sign Of the growing strength of
the Republic. This action will give confidence
to investors in Spanish Treasury bonds, as well
as being Of actual service 70 the republican
cause Sehor CASTELAR, has been elected to the
Presidency of the Cortes, and affairs in Madrid
generally go to show more determined front
than has been hitherto presented. The art of
governing is not to be learned in day, and,
apart from the wildness of the orators and the
wild confusion of parties this may account for
many Of the shortcomings Of the republicans

Ga, which we puDnSh to-day, drst, upon
Cesarism, and, next, upon the mission, the
prospects and the true policy Of the demo
cratic party.
Mr.. Stephens does not think there is any
more danger Of Casarism from General Grant
in being elected President q third time than
there was in his second or first election, espe-
cially if he confines the exercise of his execu-
tive powers hereafter to the same limits as
heretofore-that Cesarism does not consist in
who is the Executive nor how long, but in
the disregard of the checks and balances of
the constitution-that there can be no Cesar
ism while each of the three departments of the
government remains intact and while the re-
served rights of the States are respected. The
greatest danger to the Republic in the
judgment of Mr.. Stephens, is cOnsoii-
dalton, more fsEi;l;:riy known as CEN
tralization. This, he holds, is the only way
from the Republic to the Empire which is
now to be feared. He holds, too, that
there are no evidences of any desire on the
part of General Grant looking in this direc-
ton, but that the only approaches to consoli-
dalton are to be found in those obnoxious
laws of Congress trenching upon the rights of
the States, passed through the active exer-
tions Of those malcontent republicans who now
style themselves liberals. In brief, Mr.. Ste-
phens believes that there is nothing TO be
feared from General Grant in being elected o
third time, and that there is no sacredness in
the example Of Washington in limiting him.
self as President to two terms.
Now, in reference to the patriotism Of Gen.
eral Grant and his innocence of any designs of
sinking the Republic in a despotism, we have,
throughout this discussion of C@sarism, taken
especial care to be just and generous towards
our amiable President. We agree with Mr..
Stephens that General Grant, In the
administration Of the many responsible
ties of his great Office. stands free Of any
executive acts that have the slightest ten
