A Lesson from History.

Much interest has been fe,t in telling
article from the Sun on the Governor
ship question, which shows an anti
quarian's knowledge of the hidden his
tory of New York politics, and is SO
keen diagnosis OF the condition of parties
that it might come from Weed, Dix, Seymour
or some one of the veteran practitioners of
politics, who read public opinion with as unerr-
ing glance as that with which the physician
reads fever. We congratulate the Sun upon
the independence and courage it has shown in
wheeling into line with the HERALD against
the ambitious claims of Tammany who, to
serve its immediate selfish aim, would ruin the
democratic party in the State and country and
throw MIR. Tilden into the abyss. Toe Sun,
like the HERALD does not care to see Mr. Til
den smothered with Tammany roses.
The Sun reads history well, and shows how
''wise Mr.. Weed" and 'bluff, clear-headed,
stout-handed Dean Richmond managed in q
crisis like the present, and how they put
away ambition for the good of the party.
Nobody" says the editor, with pregnant en-
phasis sis better informed in respect to these
historic incidents than our venerable fellow
citizen, Samuel j. Tilden. Will it not be wise
of him and his friends at the Syracuse Conven-
ton to emulate the prudent example of Thur
low Weed and Dean Richmond?"
The New York herald., 1874-09-16

in the Convention all the animosities which
have grown out of his canvass will be in
stantly forgotten, and he will be greeted with
universal burst of honoring applause and
hearty gratitude. in comparison with which
official distinction is of small account to an
elevated mind Even in the lower view he
should recollect that there are two great
official prizes involved in this election, and
that the Senatorship is more important
Office than that Of Governor. By standing
aside now he will put both in the gift of his
party, and nobody's claim will be equal to
his for the valuable Office, which would be
more congenial to his tastes and habits than
the Governorship, even if he could get it.
If Mr.. Kelly is truly his friend, and does not
merely wish to use him to subserve the aims
of Tammany in the city election, he ought to
consent to his withdrawal, both in the per-
sonal interest of Mr.. Tilden and in the larger
interest of the democratic party as national
organization.

nouSpED TO HEK GRAvE1

The Nelv York Graphic having pub
lished an article in reference 10 the
calumnies that fastened the wife of
Andrew jackson to her grave, Albert
Greenleaf, of Portsmouth, n. H, sends
10 that paper the following letter, writ
ten to his father by Old Hickory, and
which has never before made its APP
pcarance in print:
HERMITAGE, May 6, I62S.-Dear
Sir: l have had the pleasure to receive
ymr kind letter Of the sd of March
last, with your address delivered on the
Sth Of January last, for which / tender
you my sincere thanks.
Your appreciation Of my public and
private life is truly fattering. and is
enhanced by the reflection thatit is the
result In some degree of those circum-
stances in my history which my enemies
have endeavored to misrepresent, and
was adopted at a time when you could
Judge impartially.
II is certainly true that Mrs. Jack
son and myself have been assailed by
every fabrication which wickedness and
malice could invent, and that some of
the heads of departments. and even
members Of Congress, by the prostitu
ton Of the franking privilege, have
given their aid to this object. But
thus far their shafts have fallen harm
less at our feet, and trust tho God of
truth will make them recon upon their
wnheads.I They form, probably, the first
example since the days Of Christianity
where high functionaries of Gov
ernment, IN order 70 perpetuate power,
have invaded the sanctuary of female
innocence. 1t cannot be doubted but a
virtuous and high-minded people viii
consign to its proper place precedent
50 obnoxious to every sentiment of
honor and perilous to society.
l conclude, sir, with an assurance of
the grateful emotions inspired by your
address, and the favorable sentiments
contained in your letter. Veryrespect-
fully, your most obedient servant,
ANDREW JACKSON.

THE NEGROES AND THE DEMOC.

New York Times.

So long as the negroes voted unani-
mously with the Republicans, the ma
tive white Democrats had every temp
tation to prevent their use OF the suf-
frage, and this temptation was unques-
tionably, at one time, yielded to. Now
that it has become possible to induce
the negro to sometimes vote with the
Democrats, be will be treated very diff
ferently. 1t may be political heresy,
but we confess that the division Of the
negro vote is to us an encouraging fact
in the recent elections. 1t is especially
encouraging when, as in South Caro-
ina, the division was affected by an
appeal to the negroes TO rebel against
their former leaders in order to secure
honest government. When the negro
gives his vote ON that ground, whether
he is cheated or not, and ceases to give
it under control of a dread or hatred of
his former master, he has made long
advance in the direction Of becoming a
useful citizen.

I. United states EcQnOmist. -,
The present condition of business in
this city and through the whole coun-
try is decidedly better than it has been
for some months past There can be
no question that a decided improve.
ment has been established within the
last few weeks, both in confidence and
in the volume of transactions. This is
demonstrated by the general activity
in the various forwarding and trans
portation routes. The near approach
Of the close of navigation is hurrying
merchants from the interior to COM
plete their winter purchases. And on
this point it is satisfactory to know
that the accounts are favorable. Or
ders cautiously given IN the early part
of the season have been generally doub-
led, and IN numerous cases tripicated.
And it speaks well for the condition Of
affairs in the interior that remittances
at this time of the year were never so
satisfactory. In spite of all drawbacks
| it is not improbable that the average of
transactions for the current half year
may finally compare fayorably with
corresponding periods IN former
years. 81. -
The accounts from the West and
South continue to be encouraging A
vast amount of money Is being dis
tributed for the movement of the
hog crop, which causes healthy ad-
vance in bank rates IN Chicago, st.
Louis, Louisville and other cities. This
money finds its way into the farmers
hands, and thence, as a matter of
course, to the country stores, until it
finally returns to the great financial
centres. Nearly all the Western and
Southern papers speak of increased
business activity and the prospects of
a good winter trade. The lumber in
terests seem to be more particularly
depressed. ..-.------
From the New England manufactur-
ing districts the accounts are hopeful.
| The short time movement In the cot
ton trade still continues, but it viii
| leave the business IN a better position
than before, and more free from embar-
easements Of every kind.
Taken as a whole, then. business is
better and manifests healthy signs of
| still further Improvement all over the
country. OF course, due allowance is
to be made for the season. 1t will soon
be annual setting up time, and firms
Will begin to prepare for this IN various
ways. which will render money more
difficult to obtain, but without directly
affecting general business.

4 CoNCERNING the currency question,
the Nel0 York Bulletin is Of opinion
that there viii be no change either to-
wards expansion or contraction this
winter, and probably not for the next
three or four years. Political parties
are divided on the subject, the ques-
ton having become sectional, the
North and East being as arule in favor
of specie payments with its disturbing
preliminaries, and the South and West
against specie payments or anything
cillcHiated to distress the debtor class.
The best that seems to be hoped for is
a truce on the subject until the next
Presidential election, when the issue
may be more sharply defined in poll
