History teaches by example. The
history Of what was done with the
Tories during and after the Revolu
tionary War, is most interesting in
comparison with what has been
done with the robels since our late
civil war.
What q lamentable history would
have been presented TO the people OF
the United States, IL after thirteen
years from the Revolution, Wash
ington and his compatriots, who
achieved the independence Of the
country, had boon succeeded in
the Presidency and in both Houses
OF Congress, by the Tories who had
fought seven long years to destroy
our independence. And, what la
mentable history will hereafter be
presented to the people OF America
after twelve years from the rebellion,
Grant and his compatriots, who saw
cd the Union, shall be succeeded in
the Presidency and in both, Houses
of Congress by the Rebels who had
fought four long years desperately
and oven savagely to destroy the
Union.

Old Dean Richmonds assertion
that no politician should have a re.
cord of more than sixty days, is
again verified. VIM. Bell, jr., a lead
ing reformer, signed an address to
the Democracy of Licking Co., Ohio,
in 1862 which read:
"Strike to save yourself from
drafts, conscription, unrelenting, in
terminable civil war, from an i'm
pending food of free negroes, from
a currupt Congress and Administra-
tion, from mountain Of taxes that

Mr.. Evarts, in his eloquent ad-
dress at the unwilling of the Seward
statue in New York city, on the 9th
ult., said:
"Mr. Seward believed il was the
consent OF tho citizen that made the

and not the power that could coerce
citizens and the New York World
sought to insinuate that the nation
during a rebellion, had no power
