MILITARY RULE.

Let us lock at tbe political developments OF
I this country, We have become careless about
/ the institutions of our country. You who
/ have studied history know that in times of
/ extraordinay urgency, in times of war, etc,
/ we allow the Government extraordinary pre-
! negatives, which we would not allow the Gov
eminent IN ordinary times. You remember
| the Romans acted this principle. When
| the enemy was before the gates of Rome they
! invested Consul d & dictator with supreme
power We did the same IL the last war.
! The Government had extraordinary poWers.
I Well, 1t saved the republic. That was the
chief end and we all admit that it was accom-
I plished But dHring these times Of war bad
! habit is apt 40 spring up-the Government Is
( apt to assume greater powers than 1t was IN
vested with, and the people are apt to aecus-
tom themselves TO the Usurpation. when the
war Is over the government ought 10 surren-
/ der these extraordinary prerogatives which,
though they may save the republic ia times of
/ war may destroy its liberty in times of peace.
/ But what have we seen in this country? Mil
/ itarv rule has been prolonged, and the coun-
! try seems TO he under the iron grasp of an
all-powerful and arbitrary ruler; and to re-
/ store the Constitution it may take the blood
1 Of thousands Of people.

| WHAT Mr.. sCHURTz THOUGHT OF THE RE-
! PUBLICAN PARTY.
] And thus it is that the great name, the
! great authority of the Republican party in it's
6 y
ment to uphold the most atrociOus system of
government which this country ever saw.
party which cannot live and prosper unless it
be supported by revival of the old feel
ing, and by tearing open again the wounds
from which the people Of the United States
have bled so long; sUCH A PARTY, WHEN IT
HAS COME TO THAT, DOES NOT DESERVE TO LIVE.
From Speech at St. Louis, July, 1872
CAN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY BE TRUSTED?
Honest Republicans, are you still troubled
by doubt DO yoo still ask, viii it be safe to
the question to me, how the colored people Of
the South would be protected by legisla ion in
consequence Of this movement, if the majority
in Congress should change? l viii answer
We had The same movement in this State the
majority in the Legislature did change; and
how the colOred people of Missouri then
protected by legislation No legislation was
needed TO protect them. They were amply
protected by the spirit of the people as 1t is
issued from that movement. ] remember the
predictions that were made then to fRighten
Us, that the red handed rebel would rise up
again in bloody ferocity, and make it impossi-
bic for Union men ami coIored people to live in
some parts of this State. Well, the people of
Missouri were not frightened they did trust;
thew "clasped hands over the bloody chasm"
in 1870. Their trust was not in vain. The
rebels were enfranchised. They became not
only rioters, but good citizens again the rights
epeH Of the L0wcst among .us secure
and sacred than erer, and zee hare iped friends
and brothers since Here it is history. Let
the American people profit by the lesson.

TEE speech of Hon. Eli Salisbury,
in the Senate, on the Kellogg -Spofford
case, is an elaborate argument of the
most searching and dforcible chalacte
1t is utterly impossible for any fair
minded man to escape its convincing
truths. Mr.. salisbury has done the
country great service in his able ef-
fort to rid the Senate of man elected
by fraud and holding his seat to en-
barrass legislation and to keep in pow
er the corrupt crew who had reduced
peculation and lobbyism and the fee
ing Of Congressman as councillors to
the precision of q science. In conclud-
ing his able speech Mr.. Saulsbury
says:
''Actuated by the high purpose Of
assisting to maintain inviolate the con-
stitutional provision relating 70 the
composition Of the Senate, the commit
tee are content to leave upon the re-
cords Of the Senate the evidence Of
their earnest effort TO defeat the frauds
which deprive Louisiana Of Senator
and annul in that regard the Consti-
tuition Of the country"

THE Democratic Ratification Meet
ing, in Fourth street, on Friday even-
ing will be large, imposing and enthu-
siastic. We invite all our Democratic
friends from the country a. well as the
city to be present. At the same time
we cordially invite every honest Re
publican to come and hear the srgu-
ments that viii be adduced by the able
gentlemen named 70 address the meet
ing. And We hope many Of them will
do so. There is no reason in the world
why many Republicans should not
join their votes with ours in the cleo
ton of HANCOCK and English. We
hope many Republicans throughout
the State will join us in our sincere ef-
forts to destroy sectionalism and har-
monize all parts of the Union by the
election of HANCOCK as President.

Leonard w. jerome, the well-knowu
New York merchant, banker and turf

letter to General Hancock:
"My Dear General-I lake the earliest
opportunity TO congratulate you upon

OF the day that we have entertained
since the war closed. They are thesame
that actuated General Grant when he
laid down those liberal terms Of sur

same that actuated my poor friend ~

savage rolicy of Thad Stevens, 1 be-
lieve General Grant would support you
to- day, did not the exigenciss OF his sit
uAtion forbid L. And Henry j. Ray.
mond, were be alive, would vupport you
too, unless the exigencies of the New
York Times restrained BIN. He was
compelled at an early day 10 smother tbe
sentiments he had expressed In the ad-
dress of the Philadelpbia Convention,
to abandon his career in legislative halls
and TO change the tone Of the Times, or,
rs Mr.. Jones, our business manager and
partner, insisted, the paper would be
ruined. (I believe i offered to pay the
damages nc the time, bu, that was con-
sidsred impracticable.) 1t was bitter
pill, but 1t had to be swallowed. Thau
Stevens had succeeded, through a Con-
gress which misrepresented the country,
In engrafting his policy upon the Repub-
hcan p1rty. And though majority OF
the party, rs / Urmly believe, were dis
gusted, Il was fastened upon them and
there was no way of getting nd of 1t.
Thus for years vast number of US good
Republicans. have been compelled 10 be
helpless supporters of a policy we be-
lieve TO be the very worst that could be
devised. An opportunity is presented
MS now for the first time with any show
of success, to vote in accordance with
our convictions, and ~ sure we shall
do IL most joyfully. with great respect

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Republican, cannot offend us. 1t may
fly "bloody shirt ON every bean
pole in the State and 1t won't influence
a vote against HANCOCK. We are
in for the campaign and intend to
stand by the man whom Col. Forney
says saved Philadelphia from being
burned, whether it displeases the Rad
ical organ of the ''bribe. taker" or not.
Where's ELIZA Plnkston." Get her
up again. Her story is such as the
Republican delights in. The more it
diverges from the truth the higher
that paper appreciates the fabrioa-
tion.

ls THERE TO BE "GRAB GAME |"
The New York Herald, under the
above heading, prints the despatch
from Albany, which was copied into
the GAZETTE yesterday, and then de-
nounces the project Of calling the New
York legislature together TO pass the
Potter bill to change the mode Of elect
ing Presidential Electors, in the most
decided language. The Herald says 1:
We are confident that this audacious
and reckless experiment will not be
attempted. II is within the constitu-
tional competency Of the Legislature
to change the mode of appointing
Presidential electors, but it would be q
scandalous outrage to make such a
change now. We have no great faith
in the virtue of political parties, but
we may credit them with common
sense. Governor Cornell and the re-
publican leaders Of this State would be
quite bereft. of reason if they should
seek to gain electoral votes in New
York by discreditable trick. We do
not believe that anything of the kind
will be attempted.
In the FIRST place, if Governor Cor
nell and his advisers could be supposed
unscrupulous enough to resort to this
desperate expedient, they could have
no assurance that a majority of the
Legislature would support them.
Fair-minded republicans might revolt
against the proposed grab, and besides
the disgrace ofthe attempt there would
be the damage of failure. It is too
hazardous and desperate an expert
ment to be tried.
Even if it we're certain to succeed IL
would be likely to prove Q boomerang.
1t might accomplish its purpose Of diyid-
ing the electoral vote of this State ami
sec Iring part Of 1t for the republicans
but the effect Of such IA measure would
not be confined to New York. 1t would
cause moral revolt against the republi.
can party throughout the Union. II
would be a potent weapon In the hands
OF the democ to for carry ing the two
October States, and If both Indiana and
ONO should go democratic in October
the Pr sidential election would be
virtually decided In spite of any division
that could be effected In the electoral
vote OF New York. Indiana is naturally
democratic State and the present re-
publican Governor Of Ohio was elected
last year by majority of only S,352.
The confession that Mr.. Garfield canno,
be elected by honorable means that
would be implied in an attempt q
gerrymander New York, and the genera
outbr st of indignation that would
follow, would suffice, ten times over 70
wipe out that slender majority. The
democrats carried Ohio three years ago
and elected Governor Bishop by !
plurality of 22,520. Ohio is b. no mean,
an assured republican state, and II tbe
suggested disgraceful game should bt
played by the republican Legislature OF
New York its political effect in Ohis
and Indiana would make those State,
securely democratic both in October apt
November, and would enable Genera
Hancock, aided by the October victories
easily TO carry his own State d
Pennsylvania. There is probably nc
danger that Governor Cornell will pre-.
petrate SO stupendous blunder as that
ofcalling an extra session of the LeRisIa-
ture for the purpose alleged.
