JESUICICAL PARTISANS.

Certain of the Jesuitical Republican
party press are afflicted with the rabies at
the selection made by the Democratic
party for speaker OF the House of Repre-
seutatives. Az Ohio paper asserts that the
election Of Mr.. Carlisle is the triumph of
the principles for which Lee and Jack
son fought. A Minnesota Jesuit print
characterized the matter as victory for
the Rebel BTigadiers. This is sense
less and contemplate. The election
Of Mr.. Carlisle was national
ore, not at all a sectional one. He re-
ceiyed votes from twenty four states, EN-,
bracing the entire geographical range of
the country. MIR. Carlisle received as
many votes from the northern states as
Mr.. Randall did, and but for the votes
given him by the eastern, middle, western
and Pacific states some other man would
have been chosen. There vas no section
al issue involved in the choice
made by the national Democratic
party, and the Republican cry of
a solid south is both false and vicious.
Mr.. Randall, the Republican favorite, had
twenty votes from the south, but he was
beaten, as he ought to have been beaten,
because he is more of Republican than q
Democrat upon the questions that more
particularly concern the public at the
present time. He is not q national man
in the sense and with the breadth that
Mr.. Carlisle is national man.
The disappointed Republicans under
take to raise She Palss issue that the cleo
ton OF Carlisle is destined to disturb the
business interests of the country. They
are making very fools of themselves in
th@ir attitude OF aIarmists, and only
show their weakness, their lack of genuine
national spirit, in the nefariors effort to
mislead and demoralize. There are among
the Republicans some men and journals
who have enough of the leaven of honesty
to rebuke the False Prophet of evil. For
instance the New York, Times is one of
these. 1t pertinertly says:
The country is not going to get scared and
stay scared for year. 1t is not the American
way. Ths business men who, like the Pittsburg
iron men, are crying out in terror, will ouief
the people will laugh them into silence. The
American nation is net so used up, worn out,
dali and lazy that it cannot stand moderate
dose of change in a vicious tax system. Even
the protected interests will be the be ter for it in
the long run, and they will not suffer ruin in four
months.
A few "push-pin politicians may have
commissions, but the great mass of the peo-
pie are net, as the Times says, going to be
scared and go off in panic with visions
of business disturbance" Mr.. Carlisle.
of Kentucky, upon tine tariff or revenue re-
form, holds to the same views as are
held by Mr.. Cox of New York.
by Mt. Morse Of Massachusetts
MIR. Holman, of Indiana, aud mar,
others, indeed, by all other iudiciously
minded men. So far az this subject is
concerned, Mr.. Carlisle is to be judged by
his own opinions, not by what the Jesuits
say about him. He states his position
clearly and oandidly as follows:
Sudden and radical changes in The laws and
regulations affecting the commercial and indus
trial interests of the people ought never to be
made unless impeFatirely demanded by some
public emergency; and, in my opinion, under
existing INCONSISTENCIES, Such changes would not
BE- fHyorably received by any considerable num-
Der of those who have given serious attention
to the subject.
If there be any who fear that your action on
this or any other subject viii actually be iniuri
Gus 20 any interest or even afford reasonable
cause for alarm l am quite sure they will be
agreeably disappointed. What the country has
right to expect is strict economy in the admin
| istration of every department of the govern
ment, just and equal taxation for public pur-
| poses, faithful observance of the limitations
Of the constitution and scrupulous regard for
Ahe rights and interests of the great body of the
people in order that they may be protected, as
far as congress has power to protect them,
| against encroachNents from every direction
Whatever can be done, under the circumstances
| surrounding Us, TO meet this expectation ough,
to be done, In my Judgment.
Such was the language used by Mr.. Car
isle as he took his place as speaker of ths
house for theFo rty-eighth congress. Whc
is going to gainsay hlm? Shall it be thu
the Republicans, who wanted Mr.. Randall
who would prove no greater friend to ths
