POLYFORM.

Gratited with the result upon himself, he tested
his discovery upon others who suffered from nerv-
pain and in every case the relief was perfect.
The cures performed by his gifts of Polyfotm be-
came celebrated and the demand upon his time
and attention so great, Prof Edison finally yielded
to the solicitation of those who knew the merits of
his preparation and allowed company to be formed
for the manufacture and sale of Polyform under his
supervision.
The number of remarkable cures, and the suffer
ing Polyform has saved, attest the wisdom and
philantrophy of this course.
No higher testimony could be adduced than the
certificate of Prof. Edison, who authorizes the pub
lication of the following:

PrincipleIess Policy.

The time is coming-itis at hand
We hope-when Democrats will real
ize that a sacrifice of principle to
policy always results in demoraliza:
ton and scarcely ever fails to bring
disaster in its train. A party is only
worthy of support in proportion as
the principles that underlie it are
true and good. No honest patriot
attaches himself to party whose
principles do not commend them
selves to his Judgment and his con-
science. The sincere Democrat loves
his party, not for its organization,
nor simply as means Of granting
power, but because he believes the
principles it upholds are correct and
if put in force will rebound to the
best interest Of the country. The
honest Republican is controlled by
precisely similar motives. So long
as a party acts in good faith with its
adberents, it win command their adj
miratjon and enthusiastic support;
bat, when it departs from this
straight line OF duty, it forfeits the
confidence of it's supporters and be-
comes an object of contempt to their
intelligence. Hence it is that the
sacrifices that have been made by
those who have had control of the
organization of the Democratic par.
ty, for the sake of expediency, or,
in other words, when principles have
been dropped and lost sight of in
scramble for the spoils, have always
been followed by disaster. If tenn.
porary advantage is obtained, it in
variably turns out to be a disadvan-
tage rather than a gain. More than
this, it always leaves the party de-
moralized and it takes hard work to
recover the ground lost.
The experiments blind or corrupt
leaders have made during the last
decade, ought to be sufficient to
convince the most skeptical on this
point.
What has the Democratic party
ever gained by the policy dodge

Macaulay, who wrote so admira.
bly,, was not brilliantly successful in
Parliament. He was more learned
and philosophical and greater than
his colleagues, but not a match for
many of them, who were really his
intellectual interiors, when set upon
his legs and required to talk with
his tongue. He was, therefore, in
duced to say of party leaders that
'the most effective speakers are
commonly i'll informed, shallow in
thought, devoid of large ideas of
legislation, hazarding the loosest
speculations with the utmost intel
lectual impudence, and depending
for success on volubility of speech
rather than on accuracy of knowl.
edge or penetration of intelligence.
The tendency of institutions like
those of England and America he
adds, els to encourage readiness in
public men, at the expense both of
fullness and exactness. The keenest
and most vigorous minds of every
generation, minds often admirably
fitted for the investigation of truth,
are habitually employed in produc-
ing arguments such as no man Of
sense would ever put into a treatise
intended for publication, arguments
which are just good enough to be
used once, when aided by fluent do
livery and pointed language And
he despairingly closes with the re-
mark that he "would sooner expect
q great original work on political
science, such work, for example, as
the Wealth of Nations, from an
apothecary in country town, or
from a minister in the Hebrides,
than from a statesman who, ever
since he was one-and twenty, had
been a distinguished debater in the

This thing of voting for a man be-

is exactly the reason that party be-

The name of Democrat amounts
to nothing unless it be sustained by
devotion to Democratic principles.
Men who may have aided in the
overthrow of Radicalism are entitled
to no honor or credit unless on the
ruins of Radicalism they have aided
to organize and sustain a true and
free Democracy. Dean Swift, one
of the greatest and most sagacious
statesman OF his time, said with
truth: alt has often happened that
those very men who have contribu-
ted to shake off a former tyranny
have, instead Of restoring the old
constitution, deluded the people into
a worse and more ignominious
slavery" and, continues this great
man, their schemes have continued
until s'the madness of the people
has risen to such a height as to
break in pieces the whole frame of
the best instituted government

commend them to the hearts of our
