the Mississippi" The expansion of the
Union, which Mr.. Quincy and some other
Eastern men 50 violently opposed, seem
ed wise and patriotic to the great major
ity OF the people, and there are very few
in these days who do not feel that the
people then had higher conceptions OF
duty than the persons who considered
Jefferson and Madison "Jingo' states
men.
Coming to later day, We have only
to remember the spirit shown in some
Eastern quarters about the war with
Mexico. History does not forget that
there was some honest and patriotic
ground for opposition to the annexation
of Texas: that it was not prompted by
the sort of cOwardly selfshness which
Napoleon ascribed to shop keepers, but
by hosti ity of Northern men to slave
institutions and their extension. But it
did not content some Eastern people to
continue opposition to the war only so
long as it was possible to prevent it.
They went further. and denounced the
country and its cause even after the
Nation was engaged in war. History
cannot forget that these men carried
their pomp of conscience and pride of
opinion so far that thev became effective
allies of foreign enemy. Nor were
they ever forgiven by the great majority
of the people, for conduct deemed shame
fully unpatriotic. To the end of their
lives they never recovered the influence
with the country which their character
would otherwise have secured. Their
conduct contributed greatly to bring
about the tremendous reaction against
opinions which made a Fu-
gitive Slave Law possible, deprived Mr.
Webster of the Presidency, buried the
only party that WAS not wholly subSer
Went TO the South, and gave US the ten
most dlSgraceful years of our history.
To-day there is no thought of war.
The question is simply this: Shall the

New YORK TRIBUNE: The Democrat
ic party still seeps tending to Governor
Cleveland. 1t knows lite of the man,
and does not admire him. but the party
has no other candidate of whom iL does
not know too much. Shrewd Democratic
leaders see that Cleveland would be
weak, but they fear that any other man
would be weaker. If nominated at ali,
he will owe the selection. not to any
merit of his ewn, but to the more visible
demerits of other candidates.

Bishop Foster read something that
was listened to with even more atten>

brief record of sone of the Bishops lat

before he died: do you think that you
will return?' he said: L do not know
the order of Providence, but know that
affection does not cease at the grave
On that same day he said: Father, Thou
knowest,' and cried 'Gloryr three times.
He also recited bis favorite hymn and
repeated its last line, Through all eter-

Mr.. HENDERSON paid merited trib-
ute to General Logan in the speech Off
cially informing him Of his nomination.
Referring to General Logan's honored
career, Mr.. Henderson, said: without
wealth, without help from others, with
out any resources except those of heart,
conscience, intellect, energy, and cour-
age. you have won bigh place in the
worlds history, and secured the conf
dence and affections of your country
men," The American people are not
likely to be turned away from such
man because of the criticisms Of persons
who affect superiority from never hav-
ing undergone any of the hardships of
life. General Logan, like Mr.. Blaine, is
noble specimen of a true American.
and the people will show their confidence
in him when they come to vote in No

THE New 7 Ork Commercial Adverti-
ser, having returned to the Republican
fold, has its say regarding the boilers:
"The Independents are highly respec-
table set of people. They dress well,
are morally irreproachable, and few
of them even are men of genius. But
they are wholly impracticable as politi-
clans or statesmen. There is sort of
their number which renders them, when
they get notion in their brains, utterly
unmaDageable, either by themselves or
others. They will have their own way,
regardless of the relations or circum-
stances, or else they will break things"
