New deals vigorously with several
live topics. and rlivessifes its. vigor
with a good aftay of stories and
verses. Mr.. Hale's Introduction
discusses a question which is now
growing more and more important
every lday.-=-theaqn question of political
re-organizatio4i. ' He takes no party
view, but suggests, as the important
points to consider, these ,fye, cheap
transportation, education at the
South, harmony of the legislative and
executive departments at Washing
ton, proper distinction Of State and
National politics. and a" real civil
service reform. The three certain
ties of our present.life. hound to- be
recognized blythe new political par

names will not survive the revolution
which is impending. .a' '.o''~z.'s
There is nothing. in the outlook
to cause alarm; though, of. course,it
causes anxiety, like every other int-
portant change in the government Of

It's. on the wholes fortunate, that
the change of party lines will be
made with less regard to individual
men. and their claims or wishes, than
has, sometimeso3 been Necessary
We have had personal contrasts be-
tween Washington and Jefferson,
between. Jackson, and the second
Adams, between " ebster and Clay,
No persons now, occupy. so pFomi-
nent a position before the country
at large rs did any one of these.rF
In surveying the materials out, Of
which the new parties will be form
ed, the, most important remark is
one which the professional politi-
clans never make, and which, they
do not gunderstand;s lit is the sug-
gestion, obvious to all other persens
that there are more than q million
voters now in the country, to whom
the events of 1861 are almost as
much matters of. history as, those OF
1919 The politicians by profession
do not see this, and do not, believe
it., They continue. therefore, to of
fer, war candidates and war issues as
giving the most taking n cries for
q canvass, Bnt that Young Ameri-
ca which was, twelYea years old, in
1861, and Is twenty-five. years old
t trday; thinks, all this q very old
story. and that the people who rer
peat it are very old sfogies, : frh
lin truth, the military regulations
made by the war have not been of the
most satisfactory kind ! The first
general OF the war proves to be
afraid of the -. second. Those dip
lonatic officers who learned their
diplomacy in the field have not
crowned themselves = with olive so
easily as. with laurvl. Gen. Sickles,
Gen. Radeap, and even Gen. Schenck,
have hardly Won such a reputation
as the civilian ~diplomatists of the
same period, II say Mr. Bancroft,
Mr. " ashburn, or Mr.. Read. There
has grown. up, in the country, in
view of such contrasts, an nndoubt-
ed desire !, to choose. men for their 4
merits in peace, rather than for their
courage in war. Whoever attempts
TO guide or to follow tile public opin.
ion Of the nation will succeed in
PROPORTION as he bears in mind this
desire. The young voters of the
country will assert their conscious
ness of the new position. If the
old managers do not gracefully re-
cognize it themselves, and, in their
new arrangements. show that they
