The Republicans have got accustomed,
during this campaign, to hearing themselves
called slave-drivers. negro-whippers, seces
sionists and rebels; but they were quite un-
prepared for the charge brought against
them at City Hall by Democratic orator
from Connecticut the other night, that they
had swept American commerce from the
seas. So Laird who built the rebel pirate
ships, and Semmes who sailed them, were
Black Republicans! Well, we learn some
thing new every day--and the most prolific
source of information is Democratic cam
paign sheets.

IT was George the Fourth who persuaded
himself that he commanded at Waterloo
and that Wellington acted under his orders.
Gen. Anderson has fallen into like hallu-
cination as TO Gettysburg, and goes about
Maine talking of that battle and of thefaith-
fulness with which Hancock followed his
directions. 1t must be confessed that if it
had not been for Anderson and his kind
there would have been no Gettysburg.

HARTFORD Courant: Chairman Barnum
has "heap of trouble" on his mind with so
many discordant and antagonistic elements
to handle, that were he not a very even
tempered man he would go crazy. In near
ly every State the party is divided into bitter
factions, each of which would prefer the de-
feat OF the party to the success of its rival.
In New York it is Tilden and Kelly, in Indi-
ana Hendricks and English, in Ohio Thur

and Troup. 1t is conglomeration of hard
money, greenback, free trade, protection,
rebel, union, debt-paying, and repudia-

The renewed energy Of the Democratic
parry Is but the spasmodic effort that
presases death. From this national
struggle it will fall back, a defeated, dis
cordant and hopeless minority. The hope
Of federal patronage gone, its local su-
Premacies cannot long be maintained.
This is TO be desired, for the way to cur
rency reform lies across the grave of the
Democratic party. To enter its ranks Is
TO take its name. To take its name is to
assume the vindication of its evil past

"Tow Path Cluh3 has heen or

A "Tow Path Club" has been organized
in Washington, and it is hoped to propagate
the idea all over the country, for the same
efficient service that was done by the ''Wide
Awake" and "Tanner'' clubs in former
campaigns. The name of course, contains
reminiscence of Gen. Garfeld's Youthful
experience. This tow-path leads to the
White House, and the boat hauled is the
Ship of State.

TRUTH. the New York paper that the Ar
gus formerly quoted as Grant organ and
now quotes as an independent newspaper,
calls upon Hancock to write few lines

consideration of rebel claims and tells him
that he cannot be elected unless he writes
such a letter. Will the Argus, which has
been acting in the distinguished capacity of
sounding-board to Truth, echo its latest

GEN. BEAUREGARD, who now aspires to
seat in the United States Senate from Lou
lsiana, is the man who, in 1862, urged
rebel Senator TO have bill passed by the
rebel Congress authorizing "the execution
of Abolition prisoners" Beauregard was
the hope of the Northern rebel sympathiz-
ers in 1851.

Whatever may be thought of the pOliti-
cal campaign elsewhere, every lover of
good government aud common honesty
should hope for the defeat of the unholy
political combination i'm Maine which
brought disgrace upon that reputable State
last year. We have heard prominent Dem
ocrnts express the same sentiment, their
disgust for the folly of the Garcelon crowd
overcoming all party feeling. If the peo-
pie of Maine do NOT rise up and rebuke the
political cut-throats whose infamous rec
ord caused every son Of Maine to blush we
snail lose our faith in natural law.-BosToN
