total want of sympathy for the

liberty in their dire extremity during

ces in the gift of the Government
The theory of our political system is
that the people are intelligent enough
TO comprehend political principles and
prefer one policy to another, and that
they will express their preferences by
their votes. Ard the theory is true.
The system requires, of course, that
political officers, those who direct aud
represent administration, shall change
with a change of policy decreed by
the people. But common-sense and
experience and economy and puro
politics equally demand that the sub
ordinate and merely ministerial or bus.

ces and small places are to be prizes
of what is called party activity, there
viii always be hundred claimants
equally entitled to every place, and
politics must become mere traffic,
from which character and ability will
largely withdraw, as they do now. A
change can not be made without a
struggle. But the patriotism of the
country is ready for it.

from leading Democratic paper in
Pennsylvania nearly thirty years ago;
"PAss IT ROUND.
"The subjoined resolution was unanimously
adopted on the 4th of March, l847, by the De-
mocracy Of Pennsylvania, in State Convention
assembled. 1t expresses, in language not to
be misunderstood, the united wishes of the
Keystone State:
Resolved, That the removal from the va
rious offices at Washington of every opponent
Of the National Administration, of Democratic
principles and measures, has been long called
for, and is alike demanded by the voice of the
Democratic party and the best interests of the
country and ought not to be longer postponed
or delayed.
Our correspondent thinks that this is
still the spirit of the party, as shown
in the House of Representatives, and
wherever it has the power. Nor has
he any doubt that if Mr.. Tilden should
be elected, his policy would be the
same. "To the victor belongs the
spoils of his onemy,,' is the good old
Democratic doctrine. But our CORE
spondent asks, with some anxiety,
whether that is not the cry of victory,
and whether it is not a mistake to
chill party enthusiasm by announcing
that honest and efficient officers, who
mind their business and leave other
people to vote as they choose, will not
be turned out of Office. He is inclined
to think that if tie postmaster at the
Confederate Cross Roads, knows that
the election of Governor HAYES would
leave him in possession, he will do lit
tie for the good cause, while nobody
else will be stimulated to work by
the hope of getting the office. Mean
time twenty Democrats are anxious
for it if Governor TIIDgN should come
in, and are consequently working as
hard as Nasty himself to help him in.
This is an argument which undoubt-
edly troubles many Republicans. II
is an argument for the plumber. It's
substance is that an election cannot
be carried without a great deal of
trouble and labor and expense, and
that they will not be given without
prospect and certainty of reward.
Therefore, it concludes, if Republicans
know that the election of Governor
HAYES will not be followed by gen.
eral redistribution of offices, there will
be no hearty Republican work done in
the canvass. 1t is rather amusing,
but not unprecedented, to be confront
ed with the statement of an evil as an
argument for it. Our correspondent
has not reflected, perhaps, that he
proposes to annihilate patriotism as
means of purifying the government.
If the people Of this country do not
care enough about their government
and its policy to take part in elections
without being paid tor it, then the
government is mercenary and who can
very much care which party succeeds?
The argument for compelling govern
ment clerks to pay money for the ex-
penses of election is that money must
be raised, and that nobody is SO much

HE MUST A LAWYER BE

In Eighteen Hundred seventy-six,
The great Centennial year,
Sure he whe does his duty well
Should nothing have to fear.
And vet to day, when eaucusses meet
In every little town,
To nominate their party men
To vote the Others down,
Our farmers all are looking blue;
For bugs have got their wheat,
And politicians, as of old,
Seem still inclined to cheat
And Office seekers, roam around,
All DER, our stricken land,
To set then traps, and lay their snares,
And get them well in hand
hour lawyers, great, for Presidents,
The parties have brought out
But which the greatest lawyer is,
Is yet TO be found out
Is IL not he who makes the most
Who best has learned the way
To gather from his clients all
The nest amount of pay
If this then be the standing rule,
BY which we must decide,
Sure Tilden then will win the prize,
And leave a margin wide.
For who but he could millions rake
From of our railroads all,
When they who owned the railroad stock,
Were tottering for fall
And candidates for Congressman
Are getting thick sec;
But Ills TOO early yet to tell,
Which one in luck will be.
This much we know, from all the past,
He must a lawyer be
And should profession make at least,
OF common honesty.
For this will likely bring him votes,
And if he e'er shall win,
'Tis votes, not reason, that will put
A tricky lawyer in.
He then could take his choice you know,
About our waterway;
GO for brush dams, or a canal,
Which best he thought would pay.
In either case our fishermen,
Who hook the catfish out,
and hoop-pole men, along the banks,
Could take the water route.
And then, where could the man be found,
So hardened as to say,
That chinch bugs, fraud, or poverty,
Could come again this way?

THE HE'LL GATE EXPLOSION.
Preparation fer the Blowing Out of
the East Rivers Bottom.

While waiting for orders to charge the
bOrings for the final blast at He'll Gate,
Captain Heuer is experimenting with various
kinds OF cartridges sent for trial. The Vul-
can, the dynamite, gun cotton, and the Wig
orIte, uaphthahne product, have all been
tested near tie river on the Astoria shore, the
mode being to bore from twelve TO fifteen feet
IN the rocks, at an angie of Is degrees, and
tnen To load with the explosive to be tested
The relative destructive power Of the various
agents employed may be judged by the great
heaps OF broken rock that mark the spots
where the blasts have been made
1t Is probable that the choice Of expIosi yes
will be between gun-cotton and dynamite.
Cartridges of the latter are being perforated
preparatory TO immersion. To test heir imper-
yiOusness to water. 1t is thought that the
glycerine will be washed out of the ordinary
dynamite cartridge in which event every car
Irid-e would have to be protected by an air
tight metallic ease
Captain Heuer will require about six weeks
for the charging for, to guard as much a.
possible against accident, only few men at
time will De employed in this dangerous
Work. Ii Is estimated that az about five hun
dred OF the plugs the water pressure will be
as great as ttteen pounds to the square inch,
a1i 70 will require five men to hold scantliug
in position. The chief danger is that this
tremendous water pressure may produce a
premature explosion Of the cartridges.
