Fewer men who seek Office and more
men whom the Office seeks.
Fewer loafers about railroad stations,
corner stores, and tayerns.
Fewer impeluous young men, eager
to rush into print and raise the deyll
generally.
Fewer juvenile statesmen, who are
eager to rush into the places their SEN
iors aud bettcrs ought to occupy.
Fewer leaders" TO knucklc 10
popular prejudices when wrong
Fewer great men made 10 order and
of small material, and thrust IN ironl
of men whe have capacity for great
ness.

THE WHITE SAIL.


'Tis evening" evening on the sea;
No moro the bright horizon line,
No more the whito sail at our les,
But all one even dusk Of sea,
Yet still methinks that sail I see!
One dream Of darkness now the sea,
Before or aft, all blurred IN one,
So night on recollection's sea,
That drops in age so wear.ly,
Blots all save some far memory
Oh, dusky dream! oh, hueless seal
Night blots before thy road OF light
And pals our bark so silently,
Till shrouded like the dead are wo'
But still that fair sail follows me

Get Off the fence.

We frequently hear and see boasts
of the independent voter and the
might of'his influence upon elections
He is praised End BATTERED by organs
and eraSors.endH spoken of as the "ever-
righteous balance Of power the re-
sorve force in the ultimate salvation
Of our country from demagogues and
ps9tisans and in many other like fam
ing and nonsenical phrases. 1t is the
supreme desire Of politicians, That Re
may convince those Of opposite poll
tics, that they are "inderendent vo,
ters," thus placing them on higher
plane OF politics, knowing that they
will come down again and !fproperly
hattered are more likely to come down
on another than The old side. 1t is
a good game to play, to convince C
man that he is far above the rabble in
the way Of political thought and ac.
tion for he will repay such fiattery
with his vote in the odd instance out
of three. In reality there are three
classes of the independent voter, one
honorable and two not so. Far may
we be from asserting, that there
are no truly independent voters; who
form and act upon deductions Of their
own. We are assured that there are
many, who do honor to and iolly jus
tify the appellation. TO these we re-
fer in our classification as honorable.
Just as far however may we be
from asserting, that there are none,
who ever do their apparent duty with
other than manly motives. There are
those who are bulls or "bears
in the political market, just as the
disposition Of an advance or fall my.
attach to the one or the 0 her Of the
two great political parties and for no
other reason, than an insatia Die desire
to be able to throw up a hat, or swell
a hurrah, after the votes are counted
These are not to be despised; it is their
particular way Of enjoying themselves
in political way. The third class,
however, deny themselves any right
to the respect Of other than dema.
gogues and may be described as time
servers; those who make it life work
to calculate in advance the prepou-
derance Of this or that clique Within
their own party and begin in sufficient
time, to trim and plan to straddle the
top.rail with ninety per cent Oh elth-
er side the fence. This of course re,
qures one and eight-,enths men but
as commonly known and accepted,
they have still two,tenths TO spare,
being recognized as 't"c.sIded, two.
faced or double men. Who Of us is
not able to cast his minds eye upon
representatives Of this class, and are
they not always almost religious III
their devotion to the cause? Bah, For
our part we prefer the voter who is
independent on the hands Of the man
that offers the least corn; that class Of
voters, whom We all recognize as di-
rectly venal. If there is anything IN
the principle of profession, stick to
it, suffer defeat with a clear conscience
and the maintenance Of Belf-respect,
rather than expose yourselves to
greater inconsistency by vain endeav-
ors and proteststions Of consistency.
Take the card out Of your sleeve and
get down off the fence. 1t will win
difference if not ducats.

Hancock Omclally Notified.

New YORK, July 13.-The officers of the
Cincinnati cons ention have written letter
notifying Gen. Hancock of his nomination..
They invite his attention to the resolution
adopted by the con, ,cntion, rehearsing the
principal points of the same, but dwelling
chiefly on the fraud issue. They say his
nomination was not made alone on account
OF conspicuous military services, but because
Of services after the war was over in restor-
ing union and harmony, and his fidelity to
democratic principles, which the writers are
assured will control his administration and
protect alike the rights Of states and the
United States, subordinate military to civil
power, and do away with sectional agita ion
or malice. They close with congratulations
at the bright promise for the future of the
country. and assure Gen. Hancock of their
personal confidence and esteem. A similar
letter was also written Gov. English, notify
ing him Of his nomination for vce-presdent.
It is most complimentary to English and the
democracy Of Indiana.
