SECRET POLITICS.

On the night Of Tuesday, the tenth instant,
the so-called National party held secret
meeting on st. Charles street. We under
stand that correspondence between a COM
mittee Of that mysterious organization and
the Citizens Conservative Association was
read, the purport of which was q proposition
from the Nationals for O coalition against the
Democrats, and the somewhat coy and eva
sive response from the Citizens Association,
This is o free country; q country OF free
speech and free discussion in which
every citizen, from the humblest laborer to
the richest capitalist, has an interest In the
government and the administration Of public
affairs. Why, then, Is 1t that the leaders of
the National party, ostentatiously claiming
to represent the interests of the great body
of the people, hold their consultations In
secret, read their correspondence and dis
cuss their intrigues In hidden corners of the
city. When, in the history of this republic,
have the deliberations of any political party.
save the proscriptive Know Nothing party
which had its thugs and murderers to organ
ize against the free exercise of the elective
franchise, been held in secret? If the National
party is what it presumptively claims to be !;
IL it is not Radicalism In disguise; If it is not
an unhoIy alliance between the soreheads Of
the Democratic party, the old Radical chiefs,
the representatives Of the old. bitter, pro-
scriptive and disgraceful spirit of Know
Nottingham If it is, in spirit and truth, what
it claims to be, the party of the people, why
does it skulk away like q thief from the pub
lie gaze and plot its schemes in secret?
We know that the meeting we refer to was
held; we know that the correspondence we
have mentioned was read. The people de-
mand information on two points. l. What
was the nature and purport of that CORE
spondence? 2. Who were the men present at
that meeting of the Nationals
On behalf of the people whose interests are
