Boston, Nov. 90 Prominent Repub.
licans of the State have organized a
| Commonwealth Club, with C. r. Hoar,
President; Henry L. Pierce, Richard
Olney, John @. Adams and W. E. Perk-
ms, Vice Presidents. The preamble to
the constitution recites that the members
are dissatisfied with the corruption which
now prevails in politics, and are con-
WINGED that this dissatisfaction is not
confined to any political party or section
of society, but is shared by all honest
men alike, and agree to form the associa-
ton in the hope that thereby a better
understanding will be promoted among
men who hold these opinions, and that
an interest in all public measures will be
excited among those who now stand
aloof through antipathy and distrust.

about selecting new masters under the
impression that they are to be sold again

THE RIGHT SPIRIT.

A most fitting time and occasion was
seized by Congressman Lamar, when
the eulogies on Sumner were being pro-
nounced, to urge that all sectional ami
mostly should be laid aside for once and
for ever. No nober epitaph could be
engraved on the tomb of Sumner, or
would be sweeter tribute to his life
long services, that even in death the
common love and respect for his memo
ry was so great, that it once more knit
together the bonds that erstwhile had 80
closely united the north with the south.
That henceforth hand in hand they
sought to prove themselves worthy OF
the splendid inheritance of this magnif.
cent country, and the glorious traditions
of the fathers. If this be done, and the
next two years be devoted to the curing
of wounds and the obliteration Of scars,
to the cultivation of fraternal relations
actuated by sincere good will on both
sides. Then we say the sun of the Cen.
tennial Celebration will shine on glori.
Gus spectacle indeed. A free, o happy,
united, prosperous nation.

start in the same path with as much
ayidity NJ a hungry rat at cheese. As
the Christian Union says, Most OF the
Republican leaders who are not dis
honest are too anxious for the support OF
rogues to bear very hard on roguery
The party, having outliyed the issues
that gave i, birth. has wholly failed to
meet the new issues. Its organization
has become II mere machine for keeping
poor sci Of men in power. Why
should the people continue to maintain
such psrty;" And the Christian
Union declares that the Republican
party would have met its end before this
had there arisen worthy opponent.
But the Democracy Is equally barren OF
principles, equally unpromising of prac,
1 teal reform" That is exactly the case,
and the peoples sense is sufficiently
''sharpened to See it and know it, and
they are going to act upon it. They dis
trust both One they know is robbing
them-the other they fear will. This
being the condition of things, they
think if they are bound to be robbed, il
is very little matter who does it. But
the people have not reached that condi,
ton of helplessness; they think they
still have power to effect a salutary and
sweeping reform, and, mark our words,
they will do it. Their sense is just
"sharpened" up to that point. II there
is any credit in the process by which this
condition of acuteness has been accom-
plished the Enterprise is welcome to
claim it for whom it pleases.

The Republican party has sharpened

This, as Mr.. Lincoln use to say, re
minds us of a story" There was a man
living in Illinois who, though he was
married, was but poor shiftless but
harmless fellow. At last his wife, tired
of his ways, concluded she would go of
with another man, and one day, in the
absence of her husband, she and her
affinity began to pack up the household
goods, and had just got them fairly into
the wagon, when Mr.. Husband came
back, and struck with astonishm emit, in
quired, "What are you doing?" "Oh,"

husband, "what am to do?" "Wall,

traps, and then tell him "to come along

friend, the Enterprise, when it makes
the remark which is at the head of this
article: The Republican party has
sharpened the popular sense" Eth. In
what respect has it sharpened the said
sense, and what is the moral grindstone
that has put this keen edge on this popu

popular sense is sharpened. 1t is like
the man who has been repeatedly and
shamelessly robbed by his employees,
and by these repeated injuries his sense
is "sharpened" to find out and punish
the offender. He becomes irritated and
daily takes wiser means to secure the
rogue. At last he siezes him, and then
the rascal turns around and says,
with the iciest effrontery, You
ought to be much obliged to me,
for / have sharpened your senses. y
That delinquent would certainly carry
off the palm for brazen impotence. YET
that is exactly the position the Enter
prise takes when lit talks about the Re
publican party sharpening the people
