We do not often see a heater piece Of
condensation than the following from II
late issue of the Boston HcWld:
The Democracy Of the past treated the
offices as spoils under jackson, Van
Buren,, Polk, Pierce and Buchanan it
favored the eXtention and naturalization
of slavery one-half of it joined in rebel
lion and IL portion of the remainder sym
pathized more or less openly with seces-
sion; it opposed emancipation embar-
raised, in its organized capacity, the prose
cutiOn of the war for the Union: favored
the Reputation Of the nations plighted
faith in regard to the public debt it de
clared the war II failure in 1864, proclaim
ed the reconstruction acts to be "unCOn-
stitutional, revolutionary, null and voidH
in 1SGs, voted resumption to be impossible
in 1876, and generally took the wrong side
Of nearly every public question for IA period
of over thirty years.
Yet the HCrdid did its best to help the
Democracy back into power; and seems
now to think that success may work an
entire transformation Of the party, though
its leaders insist that it is still the old
Democratic party, unchanged in character
and principles.

one of the Washington penny a-liners,
who make Senator Edmunds an object of
especial criticism, nowadays, said IA day or
two ago that lit is impossible To induce
him the Vermont senator to engage in a
debate, for the reason, us many think, that
he considers himself so vastly superior to
his associates. " This sapient remark shows
how little the writer knows of what he
writes about. Mr. Edmunds is now the
President of the Senate; and very proper
ly is not much in the habit of leaving the
chair to engage in debate on the floor. lie
does that, however, when occasion de
mands, as, for instance, during the debate
on the Texas Pacific railroad forfeiture
bill on Thursday last. If this correspon-
dent will consult Mr. Edmunds's brother
senators, we think he will find some to
/ tell him that they have often heard the
| Vermont Senator in debate and common
| ly to some purpose The truth is that Ed
munds has long been considered one ef
/ the readiest and best debaters in Congress,
| his strong memory, quick mind and power
of argument never failing him. The fact be-
| ing thus directly the reverse of the state
ment, it is not necessary to consider the
treason" mentioned for it.

of fresh love, fresh creative activity, or
