Let us see if l can tell it to you
as wildly as the fish hawk seemed
to tell it to me:-Imagine great
sea with waters black from the in
tense cold, but hecked all over with
snow white wave crests. There is
land in sight, but not a tree, not a
green field, only cold land, dazzling
and glittering with glaciers and
snow peaks. On the water are
floating, silently and swiftly, great
icebergs that look like cleaning
marble palaces which some unseen
spirit has set in motion.
All at once one great berg, the
largest and mtst beautiful OF all,
begins to move uneasily-to wayer
as if looking about to see if it is
observed, Then suddenly, with
swift and graceful majesty, 1t
plunges its high crowned head be-
meath the waves. There is mo-
ments struggle, the sea Swells and
tosses; then out Of its bath, pre-
senting a new and even mcC1e beau
tilul front than before, comes the
glittering berg, calm and mighty
still, TO float on its southwark way.

Espionage and denunciation demor-

despotism will do it. The ancient
Hebrews despised publicans, sinners
and harlots because they were the
tools and spies of the Roman des-

AN ISRAyLITE on TUE pOLITICS
OF THE DAY.


ed at Cincinnati and edited by DR..
Isaac NJ. Wise, one of the ablest
and most learned men of the day,
contains in its issue of August 4th
a carefully written editorial of sew
eral columns on the "The Political
Questions of the Day" from which
the appended extracts are taken:
GENERALIZATION OF POWER.
Ever since the outbreak of the
civil war the Capitalization of pow
er, under the President of the
United States, with his immediate
supporters, has been the ayowed
policy of the ruling party, who
wanted a strong government. The
established principles Of State,
municipal and personal rights, the
fundamental ideas of the American
republic, have been seriously disre-
garded, not only during the war,
when all that may have been neces-
sary, but long after it and up to
date; and not only in the States
which had been in rebellion, but in
all other States. This central prin-
ciplo was Systematically carried into
effect by standing army, which
ever since the close of the war has
been too large for republic and
its actual wants; by creating a
large number Of new offices and
filing them with the personal rela-
tiyes OF obedient servants Of the
chief magistrate, who appoints OF
removes all of them at his will, SC
as to make all professional
politicians, officers, oflice-seek.
ers, and party organs, and
their number is legion, dependent
upon the Presidents will and
whims. The matter is so arranged
that every person in the United
States receiving a salary from, OF
executing a contract for, the gov
ernment Of the United States must
be a personal defender Of the Ghiei
| Magistrate, or be ousted, as was
! Dyer, of st. Louis, Jewell and Hen.
derson, Yaryan, Pratt and q thou.
sand others. Let any judge OF
marshal, postmaster or letter-car,
rier, revenue officer or spy, say any
thing against the President person
tally, and whenever it will be known
| in the White House, that person
will be decapitated, This gives the
Chief Magistrate Il dangerous
amount Of power, to pack conyen'
tions, to control elections, to perse
cute and punish personal oppon
ents, real or imaginary, not to gov.
ern according TO constitution ant
law, but to control and farm tht
country like the Sultan and Pash
avs. This is too much power il
the hands of the Chief Magistrate
of a republic. Itpractically under
mines State, municipal and persona
rights upon which the republic i
based; and this power was created
and vested in the Chief Magistrat
by the party in power, true to it
principle OF Capitalization, agains
which all wise and humane states
men in all enlightened countrie
are at work; because experience
teaches that liberty depends OF

the same melancholy tragedy, "The

lesson, how Capitalization Of power

When Dom Pedro was in ST..
Louis, and smiled at the large and
strong custom-house building and
said, in u hundred years such
houses will not be needed, he said
something which all thinking men
know. Governments must be sus-
tanned by direct taxes or go to
bankruptcy. High taxes enrich a
few and are productive of that pro-
letariat which is dreaded so much

There is too much power accu-
mulated in Washington. No ordi-
nary mortal can WELD it any longer;
no democratic republic can stand
it very long; there is no necessity for
it. Reform means decentralization

added during the last sixteen years

BIGoTRY.

Capitalization has produced an
other nugatory effect in direct con-
travention of Democratic princi-
pies. Originally the Republican
party was an qnti-slayery party, and
united the most heterogeneous
elements under the anti-slavery
banner Atheists and Methodists,
Materialists and Spiritualists, tenn
porance apostles and Sunday adyo-
Gates, most all isms and schisms in
the whole country, together with
fragments of the defunct Know
nothing and Wing parties, were
united in the anti-slavery movement
and formed the Republican party.
1t is, therefore, that all extraordi-
nary and eccentric schemes for the
last ten years were set in the world,
not by the Republican party, but
by ayowed Republicans. To inn
pose upon the Constitution of the
United States the names of God,
Jesus, with the Old and New Tes-
taments, and change that great
instrument radically, to abolish
civil and religious liberty, was the
idea of Republicans, and none but
Republicans worked to carry it into
effect.
