Freemans Meeting.

The September election which for
this year occurs to-day, is and always
must be, one of the important occasions
of republican observance. During the
existence of the old regime, when these
elections occurred annually the people,
young and old. were accustomed 10
reckon upon the return of the day as n
holiday, an anticipated event, day 10
mark the progress Of the seasons. Since
the change to the biennial system, the
off year is one Of dizziness and stupidi-
iy, lacking in one. at least, of the ele-
ments of completeness, while the po-
litical year is filed up with unnatural
and unhealthy excitements, increased
by the very fsct Of lis unfrequent occur
renee.
The great Importance OF the day is in
the results. No less issues are involved
than questions of public policy, homes
" OF dishonesty in official stations,
questions of moral reform, and IN gen.
eral, the encouragement or discourage
ment Of public and private virtue and
temperance, by the selection of men of
one or the other character, upon whom
10 confer honors and to whom We shall
by giving them position, also give adj
ditional influence for good or evil. We
are too apt TO forget that by the choice
Of men upon whom to confer our hon
ors we are casting very great educat-
ing influence. If we seek as our can
didates those who are avallable because
they are unpronounced in their opin-
ions upon moral questions, we are
teaching the ambitious young man to
seek availability in the same manner.
If we cast our ballots for man of neg
Stve virtues because he is available
with those who will not support one
who has positive virtues, who that is
ambitious to attain to worldly honors
will cultivate his positive qualities: If
we promote an Inprincipled man for
any cause or under any plea, do we not
give him additional power TO destroy
our future efforts 10 effect some good in
the world
Another important consideration is
the duty every man owes to the gov
eminent and to the community in
which he lives. In government like
this where all are sovereigns, or at
least have voice in the selection of
rulers, the plea must be a strong one
which will excuse any legal voter from
going to the polls to cast his ballot in
favor of the right. II we neglect this
duty the vicious and designing will, OF
course, succeed in frustrating the ends
ofjustice, corruption and immortality
will prevailand good men will be rude
~ pushed aside for the dishonest and
disreputable TO take high places of hon
or and secure to themselves the oppor-
tunities they seek, TO fatten upon the
polls OF the public treasury

elections, and the uniiinching discharge
Of sworn duties il an imperative obi
cation upon every good man.

THE Business OurLooK .-fhcf New
York Times SAYS there has been a gener.
al impression in commercial circles for the
past two months that very active revi.
val Of trade might be looked for this fall,
and it regards the impression as we'll
founded. In the irst place, during the
past year there has been a general, grad.
ual, and rapid liquidation Of outstanding
private indebtedness. In fact there has
not been in many years a time when the
country was more free OF debt, and more
at liberty to resume active operations.
Under the circumstances trade must re.
vive, unless there are special and urgent
reasons for its not doing SO. No such
reasons are apparent. On the contrary,
the abundance OF the crops and the con.
sequent cheapness of the means of living
afford great stimulus TO all kind OF
business. while the plentifulness of mon.
ey supplies the sinews Of general business
activity. Those who have the money
will lend it freely rather than lose the
interest on it. The accumulation has
now gone on 80 long that it is, in sense
becoming oppressive. and the only relief
possible is in the renewal of trade, Such
renewal. therefore, within reasonable lin
its, seems not only probable, but in the
absence Of some extraordinary preventing
cause, certain.

BUSINESS FAILURES DuRISo 1873
The statistics OF business failures ia this
county are not collected by government
offcers, They can only be made up by
research Of u commercial character, and
the commercial agencies furnish the most
reliable figures. II is estimated iha, in
1873 the amount OF liabilities Of persons
who failed in this country was over
$3.50, 100000. The fearful consequences
of the panic ofSeptembcr last were shown
by the fact that, in the previous year, the
amount Of the failures had been something
over 1921 100000 so that the misfortune
was more than doubled Five thousand
one hundred and eighty three persons,
firms and corporations, contributed to the
financial distresses of last year Ofthose,
about one eight Of the whole number were
in New York city. which latter place was
not satisfied with one eight of the losses,
but contributed, as her own share, over
1872, 100000, showing the tremendous
style in which they speculate 10 that wild
and reckless city.
