They greatly err who take Mr.. Henry Wat
tersOn to be like Artemus Wards kangaroo,
simply ian amoosin' little cuss." He very
often talks the soundest kind OF sound sense
to his party, and tells them wholesome truths
they would do well TO profit by And
he is never backward about expressing
his views, or giving his party advice just
now he seems to be bubbling over
with suggestions TO his party in Congress,
which being wise they will of course dlsre-
gard. He himself being wiser in his newspa-
per than in Congress or on the stump, would
probably fail TO govern himself by his own
instructions. He points out the weak places
in the Democratic line with great shrewnness
and candor. In sober truth" he says, upon
"the sectional issue, the Republicans have very
great advantage OF position, and they know
ait" And he goes on to say that Garfield's
epignm at the last session was very effec-
tive that "there was something TO strike and
" to stagger in the suggestion that those who
81 he'd failed to shoot the Government to
death meant to starve 1t TO death" This is
a frank acknowledgment of the force of an
Opponcnts statement such as our friends ON
the other side are not accustomed 70 make.
Perhaps if they did weigh the arguments of
their opponents with a little more fairness
and consider their effect upon the public mind
little more carefully instead of trying to brush
them aside with narrow minded contempt or
iuconsiderate anger, they would be more
discreet in their own conduct.
Again. Mr. WattersOn says: i" 1t is not easy
ITO answer Mr.. Conkling when he says. IF
"Virginia and Tennessee, old and proud States.
care willing to repudiate honorable debts of
"their own, what guarantee have we that
"they will be squeamIsh about regulating
ga debt incurred by us to subjugate them ?p
"These," he says, are the weak points in the
democratic line. And it is wisdom to look
" to them, and as far AS possible to mend them.r
This is uncommoniy good advice, based upon
the sober reflection of clear-headed observer.
but it is directed to party that Will not be gov
erned by it. 1t is SO constituted that it cannot
do otherwise than persist in the fatally ruin
Gus policy which has so often driven 1t back
In disaster from the very edge of victory.
All good advice is wasted on the leaders, and
even the experience of repeated defeats can
not teach them the lesson of a prudent
self-restraint. They have the intention OF
hypocrisy sufficient to make profuso profess
sions when out of power. but not the ability
to Ensemble their designs when the taste of
success furnishes opportunity to disclose them.

After pointing out the weak spots IN
the line, Mr.. Watterson advises that
" Presidential cliqpes in the Senate and
Senatorial aspirlnts in the House try,
"for the occasion at least, to sink themselves
Gin an honest effort to put together the
" fragments OF the wreck they have made"
This too, is wise. But why not have the
self-sinking and the honest effort begin with

At least two of the daily papers yestt rday re-
ported that Mr. Gilbert in his little address TO the
audience at the Fifth Avenue Theatre declared that
tho object of &c author aud composer of the Pm
afore," IN presenting that work IN New-York was to
afford an opportunity of comparison between the
London version and the performances to which we
have been accustomed. Mr.. Gilbert said with en-
phasis that this NOT the object of the representa-
ton. The same disclaimer very conspicuously
printed on rhe programmes, and has also been made
in various published interviews; and it seems
rather hard that plain statement, made with such
evident earnestness. should not be allowed to
stand Messrs. sullivan aud Gilbert naturally pre-
fer that their play should be given IN their way it
is very simple case, and comparisons have nothing
to do with il.
