No occurance since the days of the Reyolu-
ton has wrought up the feelings of our paths
otto, country loving native and adopted citi~
zens, as the Great Exhibition in Philadelphia,
which has assembled representatives from
every civilized nation on the face OF the globe
OF course there were some misgiyings as to
the success of this cvclopan affair, and Con-
gress was loudly called tor, to aid the proper
celebration of our One Hundredth Birthsday
as a Nation. The friendly feeling exhibited
by the whole world, with whom are at
peace, early gave assurance to the managing
directors, of the ultimate success of the Cen
tennial Exhibition As we look oy err the $50
acres of Fairmount Park devoted to the Cen
tennial, and the miles of magnificent buildings
in which are crowded the produc tons of the
world, and the daily assemblage OF an hum
died thousand persons, can we say that the
great Fair, which commentaries our Nations
birth, which has awakened new interests in
that memorable event, the signing and decar
alton of independence, is failure? We say

proper result the Democratic party
has not right to live; it can never
take defensible position. Whoever
undertakes to defend it must fall, if
intelligence and reason take tree
hands in the fight. Bullets aud

ports them is supporting the vilest
