A "sTRoNG GOVERNMENT" DE-
PENDED.

A "sTRONG GOVERNMENT" DE-
| PENDED.
There is one Republican up in Mas.
sachusetis who is bold enough to speak
his whole mind upon the matter OF a
''strong government" and he is honest
enough to do this before the election.
He has published pamphlet entitled
"Monarchism; or, a Natural Govern
ment," which, according to the Boston
papers. openly advocates and defends
such a change in the form oil our gov
eminent AZ the Republican leaders at
heart desire; such a change as they
mean to establish after 1854, il their
plans do not miscarry; such change
as the Republic has been rapidly DRIFT
ing towards under succy ssiye Republl-
can administrations for the past twenty
years
The pamphlet is said not only to he
remarkable ipr the frank and bold posi-
ton Of the authOr, nut contains some
quotations oi similar opinions from
prominent Republican leaders which are
significant and startling.
As matter ef course the ir"ntispiece
is likeness of Gen. GRANT to whom
the document is dedicated. And in the
preface the author offers the following
explanation OF his purpose:
In Offering the following pages the
author bcgs the indulgence OF those IN
whose hands they may idi. Having
labored zealouSly, for the last forty
wears, To maintain Il Republican form al
government, he now abdndOnS al hope

so doing. His motive is to tlrIw out Il
few thoughts which my help the ac.
conn isl .meut Oi the coming change
without the horrors OF bl, oishei.
The argum,n. is tina; "those who
have the most interest at stake are the
ones who ought to govern The poor
man has no right to hold office. or the
laborng man to par;icipat, in the affairs
government.
This, in fact, is the real issue which
confronts the people OF this country to-
dsv. Ii is the issue in this campaign.
Ii is the standing issue between the
Democratic and Republican parties.
1t is the boast of the Republican par
ty," says an exchange, 'that it is the
party OF gentlemen, the party OF culture,
refinement and wealth. This is truly
their b,ast after an election. Ii is GER
tainly not the party with which the
toiliny masses, the bone and sinew of
the land, can have any sympathy.
Those who earn their bread by the
sweat OF their brows, whose hands
are hard and whose life is hard, have lit
tie 10 expect from the party which ridi-
cules the political system OF JEFFERSON
and iavors the political system OF HAM
rLroy. The Republican candidate for
the presidency is "glad," he says, shat
JEFFERSON is waning and HAMILTON
waxing in public estimation He is
''glad we are going to have stronger
government" that is, government in
which the few will be born booted and
spurred to ride, anil the many born
bridled and saddled To be ridden.

IT was 4 very easy thing to have
PHILP arrested on charge OF forging
the GARFIELD Chinese letter, but it is
another and different thing TO convict
him OF it. The simple arrest may serve
the political purpose in view, ii no con-
viction follows, provided the court can
be induced to delay action until next
Tuesday; but the probability Is that
PHILIP will be freed from this charge be-
fore next Tuesday, aud GARFIELD will
have to father his own letter on election
day. We will see what We Will see.

THE MANIFESTO OF WHEELING
BUSINESS MEN.

II anything more were necessary to
expose the hollowness and hypocracy OF
the Republican agitation OF the tariff
bugaboo; anything necessary to con-
vince the laboring men Of this commu-
nifty that the business interests from
which they derive their daily bread and
have promise OF employment and pros
perity in the future, prefer a Demo-
cratic policy, and impose confidence IN
Democratic Congress which has gwen
them the present prosperity, and faith
in the Democratic candidate ior the
Presidency to secure them in the future.
the declarations OF views and opinions
of our most substantial citizens. which
we spread before our readers this morn
ing. ought to he so conclusive that a
man, though fool, should need nothing
more.
These views and opinions upon the
business issues OF the campaign are pre-
sented from our business men. They
are not the views, or prejudices OF poll
ticians, or men swayed by party bias.
They are the men who have nearly all
their possessions a. steak upon the
issues OF which they spake. They are
our manufactures-men who are most
concerned about the question OF tariff
men who would be false to their own
interests if they did not speak their con-
victions-men whose interests compel
them to look closely into these questions
men who are intelligent and success
full in business and whose experience
and success give weight to their opin-
ions and judgment upon such matters,
among all who know them in this COM
munity.
When such men as the Messrs. kEL-
LEY, CoRTSEY, GILCHRIsr, LoRING,
HEARNE, O'BRIEN, HANNAH, BRocKUSIEP,
DELAPLAISE, HOFFMAN, Hess, DEvRIEs
and others, representing as they DO and
controlling and owning as they do, the
principal iron and glass manufacturing
interests OF this city, express themselves
in unqualified terms OF approval
of the attitude of the
Democratic party upon the
subject OF a tariff, and not only so, but
will go to the polls on next Tuesday
and show their faith by their works, by
voting for HANCOCK and WILSON, such
an exhibition OF the business sentiment
OF this community ought to put this
tariff and business scare-this Republl-
can iustian and clap-trap 20 shame, and
forever close the mouths OF those who
use such arguments and sock to mislead
men by such nimsy delusions.
We simply call attention to these in
terviews, believing that We can say
nothing that will make them more con-
elusive. and feeling assured that they
will attract the attention OF every citizen
interested in these subjects.

The editor of the Intelligncer is not
pleased with our exposure Of the Re-
publican plot to buy West Virginia.
There may be very peculiar
and personal reason for his
agitation. 1t is understood that he, in
company with the chairman of the
State Republican Committee, made a
stealthly trip to Washington last week
and he may know more about the send

OF NORTH CAEOLIvA.

Now We might adopt the language OF
the InteHigcncer and ask. "How would it
read? How would it look?" to find a
Southern Democratic paper making such
appeals as the above? Beseeching men
to vote against GARFIELD because "He
led negroe troops against the South"
Because "He won't pay rebel claims"
&c. &c.
Yet this is the Republican method in
the South-the method which the Re
publicans OF the North are continually
charging to be the exclusive method OF
the Democracy. We present it for the
edification OF the Fourteenth street or
gan, which looks only into Western pa
pels for Southern sentiments, and never
sees anything in the attitude Of the
South or Southern politics that is dis
paraging to the Republican party.

THE SOUTHERN REPUBLICAN
METHOD.

We referred yesterday to roorbach
the Mtelhgencer in which it essayed to
expose "The Southern Democratic Meth
3D." by q quotation purporting to come
from the Charleston Nevs, but which
was, in fact, clipped from Western pa
per.
Now, we propose to indulge this pas
time little, OF quoting from Southern
papers, and to show The SOUTHERN RE'
PUBLICAN METHOD, through a Southern
Republican organ.
We want it distinctly understoo J, too
that we do not make our quotation from
Western paper, and credit it to one in
the South.
We quote from the Raleigh Signal. a
Republican paper printed at Raleigh,
North Carolina. And in the issue oil
Thursday, OCTOBER 81, 1880, in double
loaded editorial, headed with rooster,
flags, &c, and with the flaming head
lines. "IIAxcocK Busted EVERY

diana and West Virginia, this ed
itorial we find the following appeals to
the voters OF North Carolina:
"Why, then, voters OF North Carolina,
throw away your votes by voting for
HANCOCK"
"He is an aristocrat. He HELPED KILL
SOUTHERN SOLDIERS, AND MADE WIDOWS

CHILDREN"
ale defied the writ OF habeas corpus,

MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF THESE CLAIMS,
AND WILL PAY MORE.
"He caused President JOHNSON to
suspend the writ OF habeaS corpus in the
District Of Columbia, after the war was
over, in order that he might hang Mrs,
SURRArT, an innocent woman, which he
did"
"For these reasons, no Southern man
ought to vote for HANCOCK"
The above extracts, we say, are taken
from a Southern Republican paper
from the paper itself-not from North
ern or Western paper and credited to
Southern paper. We have the copy oil
the paper now before US. 1t carries at
its head the following:

Rob Ing.rso,i as a special Pieader,
IN. Y. Tmes.l

"Bob" Ingersoll Is said to be exceedingly
effective before jury, and many stories are
told OF his triumphs as u special peader
when he WAS criminal lawyer In Illinois.
On one occasion, years aHo, he was engaged
Ia that State as counsel for d farmer who had
quarreled with neighbor, aud shot him
dead. The evidence was plain aud direct on
that point, though there was nothing to show
that the prisoner had not believed that he was
acting In self-defense. When InRersoll was
addressing the jury, he drew pathetic pie
ture of the prisoners vile and children-he
had declined to allow them to be present at
the trial. as less sagaeious advocate might
have done waiting In eager expectation for his
return, confident that he would be acquitted OF q
crime which he would not and could not have
committed except to save his own life, SO dear
to his family, 50 necessary To their prottc-
ton and support. 81 see the wife now" con-
door of her home, the sunlight on her hair,
straining her eyes after the figure
of the man dearer than all the world
to her. | see hts little boys swinging
on the gate, with smiles about their
lips, gazing down the. road, watching for
their beloved, innocent father, and sure that
he is coming. They are all ready, the dear
little fellows, to jump down. run after him,
leap into his arms. and kiss away
hts sadness-the shadow OF his unfor-
dear father, we knew you would
GOMEZ And, gentlemen of the jury, you who
are yourselves husbands and fathers, won't
you let him go homer" The members Of the
jury were listening with wet eyes, and lean
ing toward the eloquent advocate. The fore
man, a big. brawny, simple hearted farmer,
the tears on his sunburned cheeks, was so
carried away that, thinking the question adj
dressed personally to him and demanding an
swer, exclaimed In a choking voice, yes, Bob,
we'll let him 90 home" Ingersoll had not
half completed his argument, but he knew that
that was the supreme moment, and sat down.
The prosecuting attorney made long speech
in reply, but it was, OF course, entirely vain.
The Jury after being out about five minutes,
returned a unanimous verdict for aequittal.
