TUPPER THE POET.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
The celebrated English poet, Mr.. Tup.
per, bids farewell in poetry to tho people
Of the United States, rs ne leaves our
shores to return to his native land. His
first stanza Is addressed TO his friends;
his next to his foes; and his last to both
classes. We are surprised to learn that
man so amiable, complaisant, and soft
worded should have found any foes
among us. We have heard of no attack
upon him during his tour, and have seen
no successful attempt to underate his po-
etry. He may have felt some displeasure
at the way he was treated by Talmage of
Brooklyn, and he may have disliked the
association of his name with Tupper Hol-
land, his American rival; but we assure
him that Talmage is sham, anyhow, and
that Tupper Holland really does his best
as an imitator of the "Crock Of Gold"
Mr.. Tupper, however, does not quail be-
fore these or any other foes. 81 fear'd
YOU not he cries, as he cenfronts them;
''but to the battle rose, a man, to fight
his fight with men," We like this display
of pluck: it shows a feature of Mr.. Tup-
per's character that is not very noticeable
in his works. If he should cultivate it
hereafter, he will find even more read
ers than he has had in the past He
boldly claims that even his foes will not
scoff at him as belligerent. Instead of
saying that he failed or fell, they will be
forced to tell that he won his victories
well. This again we like. 1t is some
thing for man to foresee that even the
foes over whom he triumphed will cele-,
brate his proves, as they bewail their
own overthrow. In this passage, howev-
er, he cannot be referring to Talmage;
for Talmage is the man who, in his pulls
pit, said he wished one of our fellow,
citizens was dead, In his last stanza Mr.,
Upper rises to the heights, claims his
foes as friends. and blesses alike his
friends and foes. In this we see the NOR
ong leurs of the day, no one of whom has
put forth such an all-embraclng jingle.
We need man like Tupper in this eoun-
try, as contrast to Tupper Holland.

The Centralizing Spirit in England.

The present state Of politics in Great
Britain presents n curious problem. How
does it happen that the reforms Of 81,
which, it was predicted, would place the
House Of Commons in the hands Of pro-
lctariat, have been followed by anapparontly
secure establishment of Conservatives in
Office? The truth Is that the natural ten
dency Of an enlarged franchise has been
ncutrallzcd bya rcyolutionln public opinion
whose beginnings date from the Crimcan
war, but which has gained signal impetus
and volume during the last ton years. For
the moment, the English Liberals are weak
because they are identified with the dis
credited principle of voluntary cooperation
and resistance to legislative interference
which belongs to an industrial society. The
Conservatives, on the other hand, are strong
because they represent the principle just
now ponular of cocrcive and centralized or
ganization which distinguishes n militant
community.
Poets and fighting mon are fond of stig-
matizing what they call the trading spirit,
which, however. it would be easy TO show,
is the handspring Of liberal institutions
All trading transactions are effected by free
exchange, and this relation, in which the
mutual rendering Of services is entirely UNI
forced, becomes the dominant relation
throughout society in proportion as the in
dustrial activities flourish The develop
mcnt of national industries, unchecked by
war, will as certainly suggest a nun-cocrcive
regulating system, as military necessities
will engcndcr n system of compulsory CO.
operation. The liberalization Of political
arrangements In Great Britain during the
forty yea 3 Of peace commencing in 1873,
supplies one illustration, and the transfer
nation Of Norway another, whore absence
of war and growth OF free institutions have
gone together. That resumption of bel
ligorcnt habits must tend to develop anew the
militant type Of structure is clear enough
from the case Of Germany, whore the co.
croiye regime required by war has steadily
enlarged the scope Of its application 50 MS
to include even ecclesiastical and CONNER
cnl affairs. But Il more striking example
| Is furnished by the analogous changes now
| exhibited in England, where, the industrial
typo having developed further, there was
more room Tor rctrogrcssion.
We need not point ont the resurrection Of
military organization and feeling in Great
! Britain. caused partly by the series OF wars

The mad ride into Mexico OF Lieut. BULLS.
ordered and sanctioned 10y the commanding
officer Of the Department Of Texas. has
already resulted III bloodshcd, and may
prove the signal for more warlke operations.
The rumors of BULL1s's fate are vague
and uncertain; hut it is admitted that his
hostile reconnaissance was checked on the
banks of the Pcros. whore mixed force OF
Mexicans and Indians inflicted on him Il
severe loss. 1t Is further reported that
seven companies of cavalry with two CAT
LING guns have crossed the Rio Grandc to
support or avengc him. No doubt there will be
work now for the ten thousand Texan rangers
whom Gov. HUBBARDs messenger to Wash
ington promised to the HAYES Administra-
tion last week. The Rio Pecos, near which
BULL1s's fight is reported TO have occurred.
empties into the Rio Grande at point not
far from due west of San Antonio. We may
expect that reGnforcements will be sent
to him from Fort Clark. If necessary but
should the retreat Of BULLS be cut off, the
annexationsts and their Administration
confedcratos will. no doubt, cry out that
g. :" war exists 10y the act of Mexico"
: What adds to the iniquity Of this out
rageous violation of Mexican soil Is the fact
that, Gems CANALEs and TREvINo having
both resigned on account of the local indig
nation and excitement produced by our acts
OF forcblc cxtradtion, the whole Of the
right bank of the Rio Grandc Is just now in
n state Of commotion and almost Of anarchy.
1t is this moment that has been chosen
FOR sending our cavalry and GATLING guns
into the disturbed region. While the State
Department at Washington is fresh from
the confession that President DIAz is doing
his utmost to carry out the present extra
dition treaty, and that he is willing to make
n new and more stringent one, while it ac-
knowlcdges that the Mexican Government
is doing its utmost to perform its interna-
fional obligations, a column Of horsemen j.
cent to ride far and wide on Mexican soil,
and to force the Mexican people to choice
between war and dishonor.

weight with which their party has been
handicapped by having to carry such
burden as President installed through
fraud. These men are too wise as politicians
not to see how surely the people will rcpu-
date the doctrine that state officers may
manipulate the popular votes for Prcsidcn-
tial electors as they please, and that the
two Houses of Congress are powcrlcss to
correct or even look into the frauds that
may have been pcrpctratcd. They do not
mean TO have their PARTY responsible for
the odium and danger of such doctrine;
and as they expect and mean TO save their
party they will I've more and more confirmed
in their opposition to an Administration
whose whole official existence depends upon
1t.
But the politicians of the Union League
Club are determined that the party shall
stand committed TO the process by which
HAYES was made President They cannot
hold their Cooper Institute meeting without
affirming the validity of his title. II is the
great political issue of the time. II Is the
issue that divides them not only from the
Democrats but from a very large body Of
their own party. Not Southern policy, not
civil service reform nor any other measure
can now unite the discovered clements Of the
Republican party. These members Of the
Union League must drill the whole
Republican phalanx into n support of
HAyEs's title. or they must give up the
fight. 1t is n fight that involves the future
existence of the party AZ a political organ
zatiOn. Mr.. CoNKLING has undertaken to
save the Republican party by throwing
HAYES overheard. NOAH DAVIS and his
committee propose to throw CoNKLINa
overheard. They will feel the necessity of
taking the bull 10y the horns; for it is a.
sure as fate that unless they can make the
bold and powerful leader of the New York
Republicans succumb, he will be obliged.
and that speedily, to wash his hands of all
responsibility Tor the counting in Of HAYES.
We could easily draft the resolutions
which the Cooper Institute meeting will
have to pass. They must begin at the
foundation 10y asserting HAYES title, and
then they must challenge support for his
measures. Their whole course is as plain
as n pikestatI. II they blink the title. the
meeting will amount to nothing. Ii they
affirm ii, they will affirm lie.

The Union League and Senator Conk-
ling.

Now comes the Union League Club. the
elite OF New York city Republicanism, to re-
Duke the Republican State Convention in
general and Senator CoNKLING in particu-
lar. meeting is to be held in Cooper Insti-
tute, to bring back the Republican party of
the State to the support of the Administra-
ton Of Mr.. HAYES. One would suppose
that, officially as well as practically, the
Rochester Convention is better representa-
tive Of the sentiments and feelings Of the
Republican party Of this State than the
Union League Club, with all its pretensions,
can claim to be.
A State Convention Of the whole party, by
majority Of three to one, repudiates the
Administration in reference to its so-called
Southern policy and its scheme Of what it
calls civil service reform. But behind all
this, and of necessity involved In the rela-
tions Of Senator CONKLTNG to the Admins
tration, lies the question Of Mr.. HAYEss
right to be considered as the lawfully
elected President One sufficient reason for
the dissatisfaction Of the great body of the
party with Mr.. HAYES is that they cannot
regard him as rghtfully in the possession
of his office. If he were differently situated,
II his title to the Office were one that upright
Republicans could respect, the measures OF
his Administration would receive far greater
federation at their hands than they are now
receiving. A President who failed TO receive
n majority of the votes of the people, and
who nevertheless obtained possession Of the
Office by fraudulent tampering with the
electoral votes and n cunningly devised
scheme for counting out electoral votes that
belonged to his opponent, Is weighted down
with load which it 10 difficult Tor his party
t. carry
This is what predlsposes many Of those
who voted for him at the polls tobe particu-
larly sensitive about his policy and meas
ures; and when they find him rcpudlating
not only the mon who made him their candi
date and gave him all tho popular votes he
obtained, but also the principles on which
tho entire campaign was conducted by them
and which constitute the whole essence Of
Republcanism, it is impossible for them to
be quiet. The Republican party has SO long
been conducted upon policy toward the
South which Mr. HAYES has upset, that
when they find him reversing all that they
have maintained, they know that the very
existence OF their party as power IN the
land is put in peril.
1t is just 50 with regard TO his civil service
reform. 1t never was doctrine OF the Re-
publican party that olllccholders are not TO
be permitted to take an active part in poll
tics. 1t has been, in its day, the most pro-
Bcriptiye party that has been known in our
politics; more so than even the old JACKSON
Democracy. 1t has managed elections

Hpols and having done this for so many
