paper; realizing that their position requires
them to be independent, and unembar-
raised by connections with secret societies.
When our plans shall be fully developed,
those who favor us will join of their own
accord. To a certain extent this applies
equally to public men in high station.
We choose to build on the foundation of
ing a new one, because its peculiar nature
and constitution are particularly we'll
adapted to our purpose, and furnish strong
safeguards against the intrusion of unde-
sirab BILE elements.
That many persons will object to the
secrecy of our organization and proceed
ings is highly probable. There are many
reasons why secret organization can,
under certain circumstances, work to
better advantage than an open one, not the
least of which is that all open organizations
are certain, sooner or later, to be entered
and controlled by demagogues and persons
of question able character, seeking their
personal advancement. The plain fact is
that there are too many persons who, being
Thoroughly ignorant of the first principles
of government, and possessing neither self
respect nor sense Of responsibility, are
yet continually intruding themselves into
politics, solely for the purpose of getting
some public office for which they are MOI
their cooperation. Hence secrecy.
We msintain the hereditary principle
within the league because it is an element
OF strength. We aim at permanent mem
bership Of Dal families with fixed
principles and sentiments. Families are
longer lived than individuals; and they
cast more votes.
We adhere to our aristocratic institutions
and designations because they are attrac
tive. They harm no one, and they serve as
bond of fellowship, and stipulate spirit
of emulation.
With those who abhor any application oil
the hereditary principle, or who have con
scientious scruples against the use OF titles
we have no quarrel. Membership in the
| league is not compulsory, and we have moi
| the slightest inclination to extend our pecu
liar institutions beyond our own ranks
We use them merely for purposes of cohe
| sion among ourselves.

SENATOR JOHNSON S SPEECH.
What the New York Herald thinks
Of this is expressed in the following
extract from an editorial in that live
" journal:
The nature Of Mr.. Johnson's mind
is practical. He cannot argue in alb
stractions, and thus rapidly passes
from the theoretical merits Of the
Louisiana question to what he con
sidors to be the political and personal
object Of the administration.
When he sees military tyranny IN
the place Of civil law he seeks at once
for the motive Of the unsurpatlon.
lie finds it, where alone it can be
logically found, in the President 5
desire Of third term, and the dan
ger to republican institutions in that
Innovations seems to him, as to all
thoughtful men, the greatest OF our
national evils. The President, he
argues, is already in certain portions
Of the country as absolute as an En-
peror, aud if the presidents Of his
rule in the South are permitted to
stand the Empire i'self will soon DO
upon us. NJ johnson believes that
tie administration is trying to over
throw the government, and We are
sorry to say that he has plausible rea-
SOFAS for the opinion There are acts
Of the President that cannot be ex-
planned upon any other theory than
that of scheme to hold the EX-
ecutive power for another term, and
that means the end Of the Republic
our forefathers founded.
Mr.. Johnson's speech will proba
bly, be condemned for its impolicy,
but policy is not to De'eXpected from
nature so blunt and courageous.
With too much passion for the Zines
and perhaps too much exaggerailon,
he has honestly uttered unwelcomc
truths and warned the nation Of dan
gers it will be wise TO heed.

For the Marietta Journal,
FIDELITY.

Never forsakc a friend. When
enemies gather around, when sick
ness falls upon the heart, when the
world is dark and cherries, is the
time to try true friendship. The
heart that has been touched with
nc gold will redoubIe its efforts
when the friend is sad and in trouble.
Adversely tries true friendship
They who run from scenes Of hypoc-
ri8y, and proves that interest alone
moves them, grieve not over their
loss. If you have f'iend who
loves you, who has studied your in
terests and happiness, be sure to sns.
tain him in adversely. Let him feel
that his former kindness is appre-
ciated, and that his love was not
thrown away. Real fidelity may be
rare, but it exists in the heart
Who has not seen and felt its power =?
They who deny lis worth and power
have never loved friend or never
labored to make friend happy. The
good and the kind, the afecrionate
and the yirtuous, see and feel the
heavenly principle. They would
sacrifice wealth and all but honor to
promote the happiness Of others, and
in return they would be rewarded
for their love by sympathiaing hearts
and doubled !avors when they have
been brought low by disease and adj
versity. T.

FAILURE OF A LIBEL SUIr.-The
London Times has again had to de-
fend itself in a libel suit, but as us
ual it has been victorious. In 1872
the "Phunix Quicksilver Mining
Company issued glowing pros
pectus, based on reports concerning
mine in California made by Mr..
Fowler, a civil engineer. The
Times in its city article, called in
question Mr.. Fowler's claim to cred
iblity, and it published one or two
letters concerning his previous con-
nection with companies which had
come to grief. The result was that
the quicksilver mine collapsed. Mr.
Fowler considered himself ruined,
and he sued the Times for damages
On the second day Of the trial, when
no other witness than Mr.. Fowler
himself had been examined, his
counsel declared he could not 90 on
with the suit, and Mr.. Fowler was
non suited.
