those fleeing from their oppressors,
and spreading through the world, by
It's peerless example, the blessings Of
liberty united with law and order,
while The sky has a star and the
ocean a tide.
With such a record in the past,
with such hopes for the future, no
Democrat worthy Of the name will
cease 10 labor for the restoration Of
his grand oldiparty to power, and
this, not fer the paltry rewards Of
official position, not for division Of
the wretched. spells Of, office, but for
the higher and holier purpose Of pre-.
serving and perpetuating the noble
system Of government and human
freedom devised by the fathers of the
Republic, and intended BY them to
be as enduring as the everlasting
mountains.
The example Of the past should al.
ways be respectfully consulted by
statesmen and publicists, but the
members of the Democratic party
who have borne the brunt of so many
fierce struggles should cherish with
pride and reverence the splendid
record of'that grand old party, for it is
studded all over with great names
and gloriousia achievements, and while
we. ponder over the distinguished
men whose names adorn the roster
of the party, and whose deeds have
illustrated the brightest pages Of our
country's history, let us resolve that
the futuresof the Democratic party
shall not grow pale by contrast with
its past glories, but that we will
keep its.standard high advanced and
stainless as Of yore.- West Virginia

If the Democrats of New York

are satisfied will not NEE. with the
the approval Of tho representatives
from those counties; while the ar.
rangement of the Third District is
not such a District as our people
want. We suppose, however, that
each member Of the Legislature will
have his own particular idea as tc
how the State ought to be re.district
ed, and that it will take some time
TO settle the matter after the Legis'
ldture assemblies, and compromises
and concessions will have to be made
The matter Of re.districting for Con.
gressional purposes is very i'm.
portant one, and the arrangement,
Of the Districts should be carefully
considered.

The Irish Question.

By the arrest of Parnell the British
government committed u grave mis-
take, as that act has united all the
hitherto divided factions in Ireland.
The questions Of home rule, land
tenure and the land act are for the
time lost in the contemplation of
that bold stroke ut the liberties of
the people, the arrest of Parnell. It
is the boast Of Englishmen that
theirs is ''the freest government on
the globe,Aand they point with pride
to magnascharta as not only the
foundation Of British but of Ameri
can liberty. Yet the arrest of Par
nell is violation Of one of the plain.
est and most important provisions Of
the great charter-it is a bold and
dangerous blow at the liberty Of
speech. The hundreds of similar
outrages perpetrated in Ireland under
the Infamous coercion act, which al.
lows the arrest and imprisonment Of
lrishmen without judge or jury,
failed to attract the attention which
their gravity demanded, but the i'm.
prisonment of the great leader of the
land league has fired the Irish heart
from one end of the island to the
other, and the danger now is that it
will precipitate the Irish people into
. re evolution.
There may be differences of opin.
ion in America concerning the policy
of lrelandlon-t land question, bul

Ireland god.speed in their efforts to

enough encouragement this morning TO
revive the faint hope which | had up to
last evening that the President would
pull through. From what the surgeons
told rs Yesterday evening received the
impression that the swollen parotid
gland had very much the character OIL q

"rhere is certainly no reason for less
