Fn8EE iscss portioa Of tho wholly
admirable address Of tho State Gen.
teral Committee, deserving Of spec
ial notice, - follows: "A party
which, like the Republican party,
aims to secure the cooperation OF
the bes. and most enlightened MEM
bers Of the community, must present
clear, distinct, and unambiguous
programme. 1t must dare to stand
forth boldly in support Of what it
believes the right, even at hazard
of temporary defeat. It cannot az
ford to encourage false principles,
or acquiesce in mischievous and de-
lusive measures, though the current
of popular opinion may seem, for
the moment, to be running IN their
favor. Such case may assure a
temporary success, but it is certain
to terminate in permanent disaster.
We must trust largely in the real
integrity Of the people, not assuming
that msjorities arc always in the
right, but with faith that the major
ity desire to be right, and are
capable of being convinced by facts
and arguments addressed to their
reason and conscience" It is true
that a political party can better
afford temporary defeat by adher-
ing to its principles than to secure
success by abandoning them. The
failure of the Democratic party to
recognize the truth has done much
to deprive it of the support Of good
men. The Republican party can
profit by the example. TO the self
interested candidate for Office in any
district, it may seem policy to either
abandon the party principles for the
special occasion, or to ignore them,
but such y course will inevitably
bring disaster. In one or two dis
tricts in this State the politicians
who are personally interested, may
endeavor to make concessions to the
Greenback element for momentary
gain, but it is the business of the
Republicans who think more of the
general welfare than the success Of
an individual, to prevent any temper
izing. The candidate who stands
on any other platform than that
constructed by the national Repub
Iican par.y and Endorsed by the
| Wisconsin State Central Committee,
is not Republican, and his defeat
will in no wise be Republican de-

The village of Wallingford, Conn,
was struck by terrific tornado last
Friday evening destroying portion
of the town, killing twenty or thirty
persons, and injuring many others.
A school house, a church, forty
dwelling houses and fifty barns were
demolished. The same storm, but
not so furious, passed over Eastern
New York, the New England States
and Canada, doing serious damage,
in many places, by lightning, wind
and flood.

HARMctY-There has been no

tions OF hrmony in tho ranks Of the
Republich party in Wisconsin were
50 strong| % ct the present time.
The excel lent platform of principles
issued blythe State Central Commit
toe recei}es . cordial endorsement
from the press and people, that
argues vel for union, harmony and
success, y the Republican party.
To win success, first-class men must
be put in nomination for the various
Offices. Nominate no man because
he himself wants the position /; but
nominate candidates because they
are good men, qualified for the place;
honest in all things /; and because
they deserve we'll of the people.
This can be accomplished if the peo-
pie will attend we'll to their proper
business and attend the primary
meetings Of the party. If they fail
to attend these meetings, and per-
NIT the politicians to manage affairs
for them, good men may not receive
nominations. The time for work
has arrived. Let the primary meet
ings Of the party be fully attended,
and harmony will be promoted and
success will naturally follow.

THE ENGLISH pIUM.

In the adjustment Of the estate Of the
'sick man" By the European congress, Eng
land bore off her plum in the shape of the
island of Cyprus, and there seems to be no
dissatisfaction on the part of anybody over
the result The Cyprians will be delighted
to be under the wing OF powerful and
stable government. The Turks are graft
fed to have the English represented at a
point so near them. Russia doesn't grum-
BILE, France is gratied, and Germany thinks
it's all right, for BISMARCK did it, while
BEACONsFIEID thought ull the while II was
his own personal feat. England Is on q
broad grin over the affair, and Prince AR
THUR concludes that as his mother has an
addition to her real estate, he can afford
to enter upon a matrimonial alliance, pro-
vidcd Parliament will vote supplies, and
perhaps he will settle down in Cyprus and
/ become Granger.
We notice that there is some little hig-
Cling in Parliament over the mere marriage
dowry that the Prince solicitS and expects
and will get Some ofthe Lords being so very
ungracious us to intimate that the Queen is
rich enough to marry of her children and
settle them down in the world at her own
expense without taxing the national ex-
cheuuer but that will make no difference.
! The usual dowry will be voted, and the
Prince will marry, and then England will
bc happy over her new island and her new
Princess England is great country, and
we are proud of hcr-we only wish the Pill
grims had landed at Charleston, s. C., in
stead of Plymouth Rock ; then an entirely
different race of bullet-heads would have
peopled the south. The chivalry of the
Pilgrims would have been of the stalwdrt

IT seems that the Administration has at
last begun to handle the Notification queS.
ton in South Carolina in earnest. 1t will
instantly combat Judge KERsHAw's as
sumption of jurisdiction over the cases of
the revenue officers, now in the custody of
his court for the murder OF AMOS LADD,
by taking them before Judge BOND, Of the
United States Circuit Court, on q writ of
hdbods corpus, and will not permit an appeal
from Judge KERsHAw's decision TO the
State Supreme Court No one could doubt
the result of such an appeal. Judge kER-
SHAW would be sustained, and the General
! Government would meet with another rebuff
in its attempt to exercise its legitimate au-
thority for the protection Of its own officers.
The laws delays are among the customary
ramifcatiOns of the Nulltiers in their at
tempts to circunvent the United States
Government in such cases. The principal
result they sought to secure by this delay
was lull in the proceedings during the
coming campaign, rs the State Supreme
Court could not reach the case until after
the fall election. Meanwhile the prisoners
KANE, DURHAM, MOOSE, and SCRUGGs
would suffer all the inconvenience of Their
present condition, and the sovereignty o.
the Palmetto State would not be questioned
This is what the Nulliiicrs most earnestly
desired In fact, the management of this i'm

/Mr. EARLE, the special attorney engaged to

A CLOSE analysis Of the proceedings of the
late Greenback- Labor Convention in New

speakers were most violent in their deuun-
citation of the Republican party, and ex-
Democrats were similarly disposed toward
the Democracy. This auimosty does not
promise very earnest joint and harmonious
effort in the future. 1t is probable that fur
ther investigation would prove the cause OF
this denunciation to have been sore headed
ness or disappointed olIicc-scckinG aspira-
tions. The following of such leadership
will necessarily be very weak.
