A Beautiful Allegory.

Mr.. Crittenden, Of Kentucky, was at one
time defending a man who had been indicted
for capital offence. Alter an elaborate and
powerful defence, he closed his effort with
the following striking and beautiful allegory !:
"Wheh God 10 his eternal council cou>
ceived the thought of mans creation, he
called to him the three ministers who con-
stantly waited upon the throue-Justice,
Truth and Mercy-and thus addressed them
'TShall we make man 2" Then said Justice,
''Oh, God, make him not, for he will trarnpIe
upon the laBsY Truth made answer also,
s'Oh, God. make him not, for be will pollute
thy sauctuaries." Blu. Mercy, dropping upon
her knees, and looking up through her tears,
exclaimed, .Oh, God, make him l. will
watch over him with my care through all the
dark paths which he may have to, tread
Then e cd made man, aud said to him, ''Oh,
man. thou art the child Of Mercy; go and
deal with thy brother" .S'-.- = '''"

is TO defeat this just measure of relief.
We doubt this very much. The Pres.

OLIVER P. MORTON was buried yes.
terday, with great pomp and circI u.
stance, and in the same grave, with Q
same pomp aud circumstance, wac
buried the political party which Oliver
z. Morton led. So is 1t always. The
Wing party died and was buried with
Henry Clay and Daniel Webster.
The Republican party which JET.
ferson led died and was buried
with its leader. The Democratic party
expired with Silas Wright and William
l.. Marcy. The prO.slavery party kick
ed the bucket with Breckinridge and
Buchanan. The Republican party went
out OF existence with Lincoln and Se-
ward the reconstruction party with
Thad Stevens and L. NJ. Stanton. The
party Of the bloody shirt gave up the
ghost with its most conspicuous and
potent leader, o. p. Morton.
Party names and organizations may
survive not only the leaders but all the
men whom they indicated; but names
are mere breath, and organization is
nothing but form or mode OF action.
Not man now lives who composed
part OF what, in Jackson's time, re-
ceivcd the name OF democratic party.
The name is still in vogue; but the
party expired with tho men whose
combination received that name, and
whose ideas upon questions then un.
settled, but long since disposed of, the
name then imported. The real parties
were men who gave direction aud
force TO certain phases OF public opin-
iOn-who created and commanded
