CURRENT COMMENT


Most new parties are. like blind kittens born
to be drowned oT-hand in the floods of Time
and the storm of Action-those elements in
which the Earth-Spirit in Faust does hts
business. I can remember more new parties
than most men living: the anti
Masons. nor the Labor party. in which Brown
son and George Bancroft interested themselves
on their way TO be Calhoun and Van Buren,
Democrats, but in truth the Tyler party. Of
which Webster. Caleb Gushing and Wise. Of
Virginia. ere leaders for few months; then
the Independent Democrats OF New Hamp-
SHIRE, which snatched away from that State
the rock-ribbed democracy Of Jackson, Isaac
Hin and Frank Pierce. In 1916, and laid the
foundation of the Republican party of 1854
