The Worcester Spy says: "Some of our
Protestant people have not yet fully
learned that the public schools are not OF
the Protestant persuasion in religion; but
they must learn this fully, before they can
be prepared to defend these schools against
hostile influence and movements. 1t is
not as Protestants but as American citizens
that they mus. uphold tie public schools,
which, to maintain themselves against
hostility. be extensively useful. and realize
their aim. must be secular IN the strictest

DEMOCRATIC DOUGHFACES.

DEMOCRATIC DOUGHFACES.
The northern democratic representatives
in Congress are beginning to show their
hands and do the dirty work of the South
erners with the same alacrity and relish as
before the rebellion. Indeed they seem to
have entered upon the doughface and dirt.
eating business with even more eagerness
than in the days of slavery, when the whips
of the chivalry kept cracking about their
ears so industriously. They seem to
have given themselves over to the Con
federates. bodies. souls and breeches.
They have had their noses held to the
grindstone by them until they have con-
scnted to let King Lamar dictate the busi-
ness of the House, enunciate their policy
upon all questions, and tell them how to
vote. They have thrown wide open the
doors of the House, have collected togeth-
er the one-armed and one-legged veterans
who were given the minor Offices as re-
ward for their services TO the Union, and

the manned soldiers have been studiously
filled with ex-rebels. To crafty Confed-

doughfaces have penetrated every nook

clean of every crippled Union veteran
They even went nosing about In the la

out into the street to make room for an ex-

for ofiice-holding in the House is proof
that the candidate was either an active

Union or sympathizer with secession.

THE SOUTHERN REPUBLICAN GLIB.

A political club, bearing the above
name. has been organized in this city by
number OF gentlemen who belong to
what is generally known as the moderate
school Of politics. They hope to occupy
the centre of the line in the campaign of
1876. with view of bringing together
and harmonizing the extremes. Mr..
Thomas Mcknight has been elected presi.
dent. and General l.. Sewell is the sec.
rotary.
So far as we have been able to learn,
there is to be no geographical limitation
to the qualifications for membership. Any
elector of the State is eligible. In the
very nature of things. however. it must
be more local than general in its charac.
ter, as persons living in distant parts of
the State will find it very inconvenient to
attend its meetings with anything like
regularity. Hence it will be practically
under the control of the city members.
Though apparently not subject in any
manner to the jurisdiction Of the Repub.
lican State Central Committee. which is
in itself simply all aggregation Of ward
club influence. it is understood by some
of the members Of the Southern Repub.
lican Club that there is to be a general
cooperation OK harmony between the two
bodies. Unless some such rule is OBJ
served the Southern Club will not be able
to accomplish much beside dividing aud
weakening the party.
The next contest in this State will be
more one Of men than principles. The
people Of the large States will. mos.
lik ely. elect the Presiden: Of the United
States with out our help, as has been the
case since 1856. Louisiana has not voted
for the successful candidate since Blu
chanan ran. and has had but one vote
counted on either side since. At Mr..
Lincoln's reelection. as in 1868 and 1872,
Congress refused to count the vote Of this
State. It would not. however. have af.
fected the res ult in either case. and it is
more than likely it will be equally insig.
nifcant in 1876.
Thus it will be seen tina. about all that
is required Of the Republicans Of this
State is to elect able and intelligent men
of character and tact to look after local
interests. without being obliged to engross
so much Of the natio nal attention as we
have during the infancy and youth Of re-
construction. To accomplish this pur-
pose. it may be wise to split the two great
political parties up into two or three parts
each. and thus permit on or the other to |
run in minority ticket. But We admon-
ish all who speak in the name Of Repub-
licanism that we can not afford to divide |
our forces unless the enemy first sets the !
example. In the meantime. however. We
can see no serious objections to the South
ern Republican Club meeting as commits
sioners de Jonis non, and talking matters
over freely among themselves.

The SPANISH CIVIL WAR.

Poor old Spain is in bad luck ana has
been so for the past three hundred years,
With the rare exception Of an occasional
decent king or two for short intervals,

Philip II. contended himself with perse.

no man Of sense would have thought of
doing. The Jews had all been banished
about century before by Ferdinand and
Isabella. 80 that Spain has had nothing 70
interrupt her decay since 1910. The
history Of tina. unhappy country for more
than two centuries has been O recital Of
the acts Of in competent. proAigate. weak.
bigo.ed and cruel princes struggling to
maintain themselves in place tcr which
they were entirely untitled.
4 short time ago they tried an expert
ment in setting up a republican form Of
government. But the pride. bigotry and
traditions Of the grandees are found to be
serious distractions 70 anything like en-
frightened progress. The Spanish people
are incapable Of adopting the English plan
inaugnrated in the reign Of William and
Mary. that the ablest man in the majority
shall practically rule the realm. This
custom was established nearly two hum
dred years ago. and has rarely ever been
departed from since. Being untitled fox
q Republican form Of government, Spain
naturally failed in the first attempt. and
young sprig o. royalty. who is entirely
destitute Of ability, has been dressed up
in fine clothes and bois,e,ed up on the
throne ., Charles '. in the hope Of alien-
atins the loyal sentiment Of the country
from Don Carlos. and rallying i, in sup

stead Of finding himself deserted. has

army. In the language o: modern politics
he does not cal. for anything. As he
brings no luck. his managers are serious

The .aul, is not with the King. nor vet
with the ministry. 1t is with the people
themselves. Ignorance. bigotry. pride
and poverty have been the enemies Of old
Spain for many generations. The people
have not forgotten their contests with the
Jews in the fifteenth and sixteenth CEN
turtles. nor their long wars with the Moors.

any paper representing the principles OF
Of party could be. 1t therefore consid-
ers its comments upon the value Of party
candor as more applicable TO its political
enemies than friends. There can lie no
doubt but that the party press which will
not allow without semonstrance the per.
petration Of any party act which violates
either the principles Of the party or the
pro prieties Of social life has rendered far
more service than an organ which justifes
everything which party leaders may do
simply because party leaders have chosen
to do SO. 1t is just this service which a
brave man renders when he takes from an
inebriate or enraged fiend bottle OF a
bowie. Parties in the heat Of fight often
employ agencies wholly indefensible be-
fore the bar Of public opinion. and some.
times destructive Of themselves. The Dem.
ocratic party repudiated State rights. ac-
cepted abolition and protection. and
renounced its political autonomy, in
nominating an answering Republican, a
protectionlst, abolitionist and Federalist
for the presidency Of the United States.
This fragrant Inconsistency was surren-
der. and disbanded the Democratic party.
Those newspapers and statesmen who
condemned this act Of suicide were. in
their courage and candor. the best friends
Of their party.
We feel in no particular need at this
moment Of an opport unity to manifest
fearless performance Of this high duty.
and can. therefore. say that an outspoken
exposure of an error or wrong premedi.
ia ted or perpetrated in the name of
party. demands and deserves the gratitude
Of any party to which it may refer.
