4 NOXIONS GALLLCISM.

1t is observed by some antiquarian that
Acting President Rogers, in his order direct
ing the observance of last Decoration Day,
spoke Of those who fell in defense of the
"nation." Even Admiral Porter, who is
not great linguist, did better than this on
his soldiers and sailors monument, for he
had the taste and correctness to say who
" fell in defense Of the Union.' This fur
ther recalls to mind that the great popular
success of last week was spoken of even by
the most friendly pens as the "Natonal
" Democratic Convention" The proper title
is General Convention" We have before
referred to the Boston dilletante papers which
talk about the National Senate" instead
of that of the United States. The truth is,
there is a whole brood and swarm of these
abuses of language, which Seem to be thick
ening instead of diminishing. The news
paper English of the day is full of the insnf-
ferable atfectation of nationalism. "The
"genius of the nation is talked about when
what is meant is the genius of the Republic.
"The interests of the nation u is the new
lingo for the interests of the commonwealth.
"National affairs" is used when what is
meant is " American affairs :" or Continental
affairs" We have also before spoken of
that hybrid anomaly, "The National Board
of HEALTH" viz: a permanent United States
Health Commission, and of the Frenchled
"National Guard" which, first introduced
in New York in honor of Lafayette, is creep
ing over the country and into our statutes to
nj unn1 old rncl 80 militia - nl
the glorious term volunteers" We care
not what a mans views may be about cen
tralzatiOu or the reverse: we are not speak
ing TO that point at all. But let MS, as all
men of sense have always pleaded and urged
| upon the blind multitude, keep our minds
and our tongues free from Cant. There is
cant literary, scientific, verbal, and, as We
now see, political. 1t is always tho essence
of falsehood, and harmful most to those who
fall into it. Let man, if he be even an im-
perialist, keep in view that this is at present
nation " in the French sense in which the
word is invoked, only in its external aspects
and relations. Internally IL is a Federal
Republic, the name of which is at present
." The United States Of America" and moth
ing else. TO call it anything else does not
make II anything else, and only befogs aud
befools the careless speaker or writer him
self, which is the peculiarity of all cant.
"Natonal has of course its own apt senses,
in which ii is as appropriate as the other
numerous words we have instanced are IN
theirs. But to drag it in ON every OCCASION
possible, apparently out of an uneasy cray
ing of some TO convince themselves that this
country (nation, they would here substituted
is what it is not; and out of mere parrot-like
iteration in the case of others, should be de-
plored and objurgated by all lovers of purity
in speech and precision in thought.

EyKRYnony al Cincinnati. il seems. wa,

EVERYBODY at Cincinnati, it seems, wanted
New York to make the nomination. This was not
DONE owing to the extreme modesty OF the New York
delegation. They did not like to speak FIRST. New
York was like tho French Guard at Fonienoy.
" Gentlemen Of the Guard viii please nre.n Beg
pardon, the Guard never fires nrst." As New York
wouldn't FIRE, somebody else had to. Louisiana and
Vermont fired, and the upshot was Hancock. Every
body Is charmed and New York has the credit Of the
courteous II not the most astue delegation that
ever went to national convention.

When Gen. Hancock's Order No. 40 was

COLONEL Tom OcmnTREE has declared for
Hancock. Tom is a very pronounced Grant
man, and has heretofore pinned his fortunes
to the Republican standard but he is n
shrewd fellow, and his associations are with
the shrewdest men and coolest calculators of
future events in the country. lie has made
up his mind which side is going to win, and
he is going to be on the winning side if he
can. Colonel Ochiltree will take the stump
for Hancock

"THE audacity of the South Carolina
Democratic politician is shameless and as
founding. Wade Hampton showed it at
Cincinnati when he asserted that his State
" should give the largest Democratic ma
"jority for the candidates there nominated"
So says the New York Times. We rather agree
with the Times that Wade Hampton promises
too much for small State in population like
South Carolina. 1t would not surprise us at
all if the majorties for Hancock and English
in the State of New York were larger than
the whole vote of South Carolina.

SOME of the Republican papers say that
General Hancock was such an aristocrat that
he would not look at common soldier dur
ing the war. Perhaps he preferred looking
at the Confederate soldiers. AT any rate he
kept on looking at them from the front to
the end of the war, while General Garfield
went to the rear, before the fighting was half

THR election of Hancock will put an end
TO sectionalism in politics; the election of
Garfield would perpctuate the present dan
gerous division of parties hy which the
North is arrayed against the South; situa-
ton which causes the material interests of
both sections to be left out of account as rea-
sons for poltical action.

Itrnyc Wards.

A number of the party organs that pro-
tested against the "mud-throwing style of
election canvass when Gen. Garfield was the
subject have already begun to spatter their
little daubs over Gen. Hancock. These gem
tlemen may as well understand at once that
nothing is to be made for Gen. Garfield by
that style of warfare. e.-piblic Leioer.

Gen. Hancock is said to have carried on an
expensive campaign againt the Chcyenncs

Indians. That is nothing. In his campaign
against the rioters in Philadelphia he didn't
kill anybody; but he stopped the riot all the

Those who are interested in this arrant

with full knowledge when We assert that

GOVERNOR HoYT, Of Pennsylvania, has
been interviewed, and assured Philadel-
phia Press reporter that he "does not be-
lieve that Hancock will poll any appreci-
able number of Republican votes" As
General Hancock will not need any Republi-
can votes to carry Pennsylvania, he may be
able to get along. Governor Hoyt had plu-
rality vote, the combined majority against
him being, in round numbers, 10000. There
are plenty of votes to give Hancock the Penn
sylvania electors without taking one of those
which went TO make lIoyt Governor. He can
have 10000 majority without getting sin-
gle man who ever voted for Henry NJ. Hoyt.
