COTHARG o1 ko 190 Olark.ate S L e The Chitags Tiibuue, Friday Morning, November 14, 1873, Tho result in the Fifth Congressional District in Michigan ia put out of doubt by the offcial count, which gives the eloction to Mr. Willlam E. Willisms, the Ropublioan candidato, by 176 ‘majority. = —— In another column is givon the vote of Cook County for county ofilcors, which was doclared yeatorday by tho official Board of Onnvassers, and has not herotofore boen published. From theso roturns it will be scon that Miller's majority for County Treasurer is 10,830. The total voto of the county was 53,23 pranitim Tho Buprome Court have reversod the decle- fon in which Judgo Willlams sustained the spocinl nssossment of §1,200,000, mado in 1871, to onlargo and Improve Lincoln Park. The grounds of this reversal aro mot given by tho dispatchos, but they rest no doubt mainly on the constitutional objoctions raised agaiust tho Iaw ordering the assessment, Tho Duncan will caso, at Battle Oroek, Michi-~ gon, in wlhich g0 many bequests to the Metho- dist Church aro involved, has beon brought to o pause for tho timo being by the disagracment of tho jury to whick it was submitted. Ten of tho jurors voted to sustain tho will, but the sym- pathiy of the two others was with tho Duncan heirs, Railronds have always supppsod thero was one olass of persons thoy could maim and kill with- out boing held to account, but it secms that oven persons who ride on freo passes have rights svhich those corporations sre bound to respect. It was declded yostorday, intho United Biates Circuit Court st Indianapolia, that o drovor whose feg had been broken in an accident ‘on the In- ilicnapolis & St. Louis Railroad had & valid slnim for damages, although ho rodo freo, and tho Compnny was mulcted in $5,000 damages for -his benofit. — Tho Miseissippi Valley Socioty, & branch of which is to bo astablished in Chicsgo under the auspicos of tho Board of Tradp, {8 an English asgociation formed to promoto dircot trado bo- tweon the Western and Southorn Biates and England, and to obtain and. dissemi- nato information concerning their reséurces which moy guido English ood Amoricsn capitalists in their jnvestments. A ocor- respondence between Bir Edwin Pearson, tho head of tho Bocioty, and President Culver, of the Chicago Board of Trade, lod to the pp- .pointment of & committes to look into the ob- Jects and standing of tho Socioty. Tho result of their invostigations has hoon altogether favorablo, and the Executive Committes of the Board of Trado havo promised to do all they can ‘4o establish n powerful branch in this city, MMoat of tho financial news this morningisa ropetition, with & change of names and places, of the items of reductions of sages, inactivity of trado, and the like, that have becomo 8o familiar of lato. Tlus monotony is yaried by the contest betwoon A, T, Stewart & -Co. and -H.

Thelr jurisdiotion 18 confinod to tho revision of tho assossmonta ro- turdod by tho Amsossors, Tho Asgossors of Cook County, upon oath, deolarod that thoy made no assessmont of tho values of tho oapital stock of thoso corporations; so thero was no agsoasment of that kindof properiy bofore tho Board of Equalization, That body, however, usurpod the funotions of tho Asgessors, and pro- cooded, de novo, to asscss the valuo of cortain property which had not been roturned to thom, of which they had no official knowledge, and ovor which they had no jurisdiction in any man- nor or shape. The Town of Forroston, in Oglo County, con- tains a fow hundred inhabitants. The town ia traversod by tho Illinofa Central Reilroad, but some wily and deceiving person suggested that if thoy had enother railroad they would have oompetition and low froights, o the town was invitod to voto 875,000 of bonds for tho Chicago & fowa Railrond, snd'a majority did so voto. The road was built to Forroston and thero stopped, making & friendly allisuco with tho Tilinois Central. Thare wasnodepot, no sixmiles of railway, no rolling stock, and so tho town rofused tolssue tho bonds. Judge Brown, of | ‘Winnebago, upon the complaint of the Railroad Compsny, issued & dooreo roquiring tho Buper- visor and Town Clerk to lssuc the bonds. The people of Forreston spplied to Judge Hoaton, of tho Oglo Circuit, and ho issucd an injunc- tion forbidding the officors issuing any such bonds. Wheroupon Judgo Brown had the Bu- porvisor and Olork srrested for dontompt, and ocommitted them to the Rockford Jail until they issue tho bonds. Forreston backs its officrs, and thoy remsin in jail. Tho bonds cannot be issued by any other officers, and thelr torms will oxpiro in April noxt, Jt is not probablo that the bonds, if issuod, will bo of auy valuo, unless, indeed, the schome of the Springflold Ring to makeo Codk County pay all bonds of that ohor- ncter ghall succoed. |, EOW TO SYNDICATE A BOND. All the exocutive dopartmonts of tho Govern- raont should bo conservative in their obsorvance of tho lawa, Itis thojr duty notonly to seo that" othora obey tho lswa, but also to prastico obodience themaolves. Of tho Treasury Dopart- 'mont this is most espacially and inexorably true; .| for its rolations to the country, ita commerciai, manufacturing, and other complox and multi- tudinous business intoreata nro so constant, close, and dolicate that the lonst manifeatation of lawlessnoss disturbs everything, more or lees, end tends to destroy that confidonco without whigh both public and private financial affairs como toruin. It js tho duty of the Becrotary of the Tressury to administor the laws concerning 1is Department ss thoy aro written, but it isnot ‘morely the disregard for, or infraction of, syoh 1ams that conatitutes lawlossnons o his part. [f ho oxercises & power not granted to Lim, hig action is lawless, though it may not ben teoh- nigal breaoh of any written Iaw, Buch actions may affect the country as injuriously snd woakon confidenco s surely a8 though “positivo 1aws had boon violafed. The assumption of powers not granted may be oven more mis- *} chievous than failuros to discharge prescribed dutios, When both ate combined, it is timo for somebody to spoak out. Of the yndicate wo have written much, but tho story has not boon half told. A more pro- lific sourco of Inwloss action has never found lodgmont in the Treasury Dopartment. Now featuros and phesos appear at intorvals more novel than any of its procoding stages, One of rocont ocenrrenco shows how curivusly tho thing works,and how alightly thoSearotary of the Trons- ury feels the ourb of law since tho oreation of tho Byndicato. A National Bank, located in ono of tho Westorn Btates, was informed by tho De~ ‘partment that $50,000 of tho bonda doposited by 1t with tho Trensuror of the United Btates to go- ouro its ciroulation wore embraced in tho call of Sopt, 6,1873, and thataftor that dato intorest would cgngo theraon. Accompanying this infor- | matfon was a ciroular signed by the Becrotary of thio Trongury, contalning inetruotions to guido holders of called bonds, and smong which was tho following : “ United Bfates seouritios, for- tho ‘Loon Division, Bacrotary's office,’ and all Foglaterod bonds should bo assigned to the Beo- rotary'of tho Troasury for rademption.” Deair- ing :tn ropleco the callod -bonds with other 6 per ponts, but having hosrd a roport that thls might not bs allowod, the bank addrossed a lot- tor of inquiry to tha Comptrollor of tho Curron- oy, eaying: 50,000 of tho DLonds do- posited by this bank, as socurity for eiroulation, heviog beon oalled, intoreet to cease Ropt, 6, the objest of thiu lotter in toinquire whother thoy oan be roplaged with other 6 per cont bonds of the Qovernmont,” The auswer to this inqui- ry was: “By order of the Sooratary of ‘the Tressury, nono but ./now Us' are racelved in place of tho called bonds,” Thoroupcn tho bank addressed auothor lotter to the Qomp-.| troller, saying: “Tho Becretary having decided that nope but] new 53 will bo recelvod In oxcliange for 6 per conts depos- ited ap security for clroplation, I have this day for- ‘warded £o him, assignad, tho recolpt of the Treasurer of the United Stafes for $50,000 Londs of 183, called, Junp 6, 1873, and eaked him to oxchange somo for now 63 (rogistored) to bo plsced with Troasurer, and send ua coln cortificato for balanco of intoreat, ¥ Algo at tho samo timo sengding a lottor to the Becrotary as follows s I inclose herein s recolpt of the Troasurer of the Uniteq Bates for $50,000 of United Btatos rogiatored 8 por cent bonds of 1803, now on deposit with him as a0~ curity for olroulating notea {ssucd to this bank, These ‘bonds are included in your call of Juno 6, 1873, snd I hiave assignod them to you for redomption in accord ance with your clroulsr of tho 6th Juno, It fa dosired, and roqueated that you place $30,600 of new 55 (reg- Jutored) with the ‘Freasurer of tho Unitod Btatea as so- ourlty for ciroulation, In Uou of tho above described THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1873 wardod for redemption, should bo addrossod to | I 6#, and sond ug coin cortificato for dlfferenco in fnter- ent—tho oxchiange of bonda to bo mada on {ho 6ih inst, This wns in accordance with tho olroular of Inatructions above roforred to, and was a vory propor and dircct way for a bank to doal with the Troasury Dopartmont § and cortafuly would havo boon so rogarded beforo the inyeniion of Tronaury Syndloates. Things are difforoat now. Tho bank coutd not deal directly with tho Gov-~ ornmont, and was #o Informed by a lottor from tho Aoting-Socrotary, In which, after acknowl- edglng the roceipt of tho last above-mantionod Iottor, ho said : ““In reply, I hiave to inform you that tho nogotiation of tho & por cont bonda of tho funded loan of 1881 hns baen intrusted to tho Byndicato composed of Mesars, Jay Oooko & Co. and thelr assoolntos, to whom you are ro- apeotfully roforrod for instructlons in the prem- ises. Tho Trensuror's recolpt inclosed in your lottor is rolurned horowith.” This was a most surprising rosult. Diroot dealing with tho Troas- ury Dopartment was cut off, aud tho baok di- rootod to look to Jay Uooke & Co., and asaooi- atosin tha Byndlento, for reliof. Now, Jay Cooko & Co. did not pretend to have & monopoly of tho fundod loan of 1881 ; for, in o lottor written by thom 1n rogard to those vory bonds in Juno last, they sollcited tho privilogo of oxchanging thom the samo ns thoy would “have dono for sny othor business, and concluded their lotter thus: **If you are disposod to mako this oxchango, we shall bo pleased to oftect it for you at market pricos, and sond horowith form of nec- osgary rosolution for oxecution and return with rocolpta of the Trossurer of tho United Statos,” Turned away from the Treasury Dopartmont it +was natural for the bank to look to tho noxt sourco of succor ; for in tho moantimo the Gth of Boptembor had arrived and tho 60,000 of callod bonds had ceased to draw intorost. An sgont was authorized to doal with Jay Cooke & Co, or such other partles na might bo able to got at the Treasury Dopartment through tho doors of tho Syndicate. Tho day after tho authorlty ronchod Now York, Jay Cooke & Co. suspondod, and the Syndicato, for & time, was thrown into confusion. After sevoral daye' dolay, the exchango was flually offocted through ono ‘branch of tho Byndleate which remained solvont, What profit the Syndicate mode in tho trans- action boyond the commission of ono-half of 1 por cont moy not bo known; but cortain it is that if tho %xohango could havo boon offoctod with tho Seoretary of tho Troasury, the profit, be it grent or small, togother with tho commis- slon, would have been saved to the Governmont. Now, look at the lawloss character of this case, Without authority of law, tho Sooratary of tho Trossury issucs an.ordor that no othor bonds tban now 58 shall bo roceived in lieu of callod 0 aa security for tho olrculation of National Banke, and then without authority of law turns the holders of the G over to the Syndloate to offect an oxchange. Tho pretonse is that tho “ nogotiation of tho b por cont bonds has been intrysted to the Byndicate” oxclusively, in the faco of the fact that Jay Oooke & Co. wore molic~ iting tho priviloge of effosting exohanges for the holders of called bonds, just as they wore asking for other bueiness; aud slso in diroot contra- diction of the oiroular of instructions {ssued on tho Gth of Junp by tho Secrotary himeelf, and above quoted frony. Firat {nstructing holdors of called bonds to denl directly with tho Troasary Dopartmont, which was right and thon turning them over to parlies in no way offaislly connect~ ed with tho Government, which was wrong, Thon, without authority of Jaw, tho Becro tary by hia action discriminaton against tho 6 por cont bonds of tho Unitod States, and ngninst tho interests of tho croditors of tho National Banks, A G percont bond is better pecurity for thio note-holders of & bank than a 5 por cont bond; and, at the timo of the trananotion reforrod to, some’ of tho § por cont bonds could have besn bpught ab par in gold. Dut & bank can’t woll contest with tho Treasury Dopartment, for it takestimo and money todo it succossfully ; and whon tho Secratary says to n bank, *I will not recervo anything buta b por cont bond in liou of your 0s, nor pay the s matil you doposit bs, nor pay intorest on thém after tho 6th of Beptember, nor do any- thing in tho premiscs excopt through the Syndi- cato,” thoto §s Mitlo left for tho bank to do but to make tho bost of o algmeloss a transaction, and got what it can for itsolf and jts croditors. 1t surrondors, and tho Seorotary hos o victory in spite of the law, snd the Syndicato has its commissions. But, then, *it is only a bank.” It is not only o bank ; j is & disregard of law, and that endan- gors everything and evorybody. What tho Beo- rotary msy do with tho bonds " belonging to o “bank, o may do with thoso belanging to indi- viduals, Ifho can force s bank to take a b per cont bond for ono bearing § per cont, why nota. 4,88, 0ra 2 per cont? Whon sharp turns, asmonnting to partisl ropudiation, sro taken for tho bonefit of the Syndicate, whero is the thing tostop? When tho procoss of trifling with the bonds of the Government begius, whore is it to end? This ontire matter is but another evi- donge of fho gradual but constant drifting of tho Treasury Departmont toward the position of being * o law unto iteelf,” Horolics tho groat .danger which chills evory intoreat to-day. Every violatlon of law by tho Socrotary of the Troasury, and oach assumption of power not granted to bim, drawe 18 noarer and noaror fo tho poriod when tho great intorests jnvolved "the public . and private finsnolal affaira of {his country will o at tho meroy of sny man who may choose to preside over tho ‘Tropsury Dopartmont, Nothing gould bo moro disastrous thap this.

The sot of the Loglelaturo passed March 9, 1872, and popularly known aa * Tho Mayor'a Bill," conforrod four now and distinot funotions upon the Muydr of Ohioago, to wit: 1. To appolnt all city officers and membera of Boarda (excopt those whoso oloction is provided for by Inw and thoso appointed by the Governor), subjoot to confirmation by & majority of all tho mombors of tho Common Counctl ; also to re- movo.any city officer or mombor of any of the Doards; and appolnt s successor, 2. Tho samo powors aro conferrod upon the Mayor to suppross disordor sud koep tho posco ag aro vostod {n tho Bhoriff, and to this ond ho i8 givon the dircotion and control of all the mombors of the Polico and Fire Dopartmonts of tho city. 8. Tho Mayor 15 vosted with tho power to veto, not only any ordinanco as s wholo that may bo passod by tho ‘Common Counoil, but any itoms or appropriations containod in such ordinance, which enablos him to reviow in detail any appro- priation bill, and eliminato ita objoctionable foa- tures withont affecting its meritorious parts, 4. Tho Mayor is mado ex-offivio Prosidont of tho Common Council, may presido at all moot~ ings when prosent, and appoint the Standing Committocs. . Tho act provided that thislaw should remain in foro for the term of two yoars from and aftor its paasago, It oxpiros by limitation on tho Oth of March noxt, unless it shill bo made porma- nent by anothor .aot of tho Legislature. Tho Logialature moots in January, snd onoof its vory first acts should be to make the pro- visions of tho Mayor's ‘bill tho-law for the pormanont govornment of all oities in INli- nols, Ohiosgo should mever bo permittod to rovert to the old stato of confusion which existed beforo tho pasasge of this Zact. Thero should not even bo an hiatus, and to avoid this the Logislature should mot immodiately upon gonvening, The prinolples upon which the law is based commendoed thomsolves to all ‘intolligent and fair-mindod citizens, and tho exporionco of nearly two yoars has confirmoed tho soundnoss of those principles. Tho prosent law nssures a concentration of rosponsibility in placo of a diffusion of it, and tho resultis a pormanent safoguard against the oarelossnoss and corruption that are jnevitablo whon no one in diractly rosponsiblo to tho people, The prin- oiplos thua condensedinto a brief and intelligent law have boon sought by all munioloal reformors throughout tho country, and it would be almost criminal to gbpndon them in 5 full conscjousness of thoir worth and with a certainty of tho chaos to which ive would bo forcad to' roturn when the 1w expires. Upon the expiration of tho Mayor's Iaw, the opportunity of tho corrapt * Ninetoen" will re~ turn. The Mayor will then be a mere figure- hond. Chioago will be ynder tho dominion of & Bogrd of Aldormon, & Board of Folico and Fire Commissionors, & Board of Public Works, o Board of Hoalth, and a full corps of city offi- cinls who will be rosponsibjo tone one but them- solves. Eaoch and ovory Bodrd will make its osti- mates according to ite individual wants, without consulting the interosts of any other dopartment of tlio City Government, and, ooh-Board having it partisans in the Counoil, a systom of trading will be renewed by which the taxpayors will be bled on all pides, 'Thoe right of voto éan thon bo oxercisad only inbulk, and thoresultwill bo elther adead-look in tho public machinery or oxtravagant appropriations which no man gor sot of mon hayo the power to rogulate, Tho Exooutive Do- partment of the (Jity Governmont willbe at loose ends,—thoe Contmon Counoil pulling ang way, the Board of Polioo another, and the Chiof of Polico a third, whilo the Mayor may sit and suok his thumb, powerless to interfero for tho publio good. Tho Fire Department will bo reduced to tho game demoralized ponditiqn as it wa ot the timo of tho grogt conflagration, gnd the police force will dogenorato Into & more pblitionl ‘ma- ohine, Thore will thon bs not one fuvernment, but hialt-a-dozen governmonts, in Chicago, each withan irrosponsiblo head, each acting inde- pondontly of all tho others for porgona} onds, and not one for tho publio good. Tho 0as0 is not axaggorated. We will return immodiately to the condition of things which existed prior to tho passago of tho Mayor's bill, with the groater dnnger of dogonorating to a state of corruption that provailed for 8o many yoars - in Now York Gity, snd which was brought about by the same irresponsiblo syatoin, 3 Undor the present law, tho Mayor is held ra- sponsible for the. good order snd goyprnment of tho city, and has suthority commensurate with Lhis responsibility, Thie is to tho public advan~ tago whothor tho Mayor be absolutely honest and efticient, or whether ho bo inclined to be dishon- o5t and inefflciont. " In tho formor case, ko hus the power to Borve the eity with his ability and good motives; in thelattor caso, Lis individual responsibility, which thore s no mépna forl'nn': to sbirk, I a constant gheck upon his badl Inten- tlons, and, if ho faile to xostrain: them nnder the presauro of publio sentiment, he may beimpeach- od and brought to ‘account.

His confidenco in himeelt and in his judgment is strong. Ho evi- dently has no doubt that in making him Rogls- trar iho Btate socurod tho right man in the right placo. TIn ono part of tho statemont he makes tho dec- Iaration that nt lenst 8 por cont of the railrond rocoipts of grain aro not registored, though thoy goon the markot. This statemont may bo un- dorstood by tho trade, but ‘to the gonoral public it is susceptible of divorso intorprotations. Not understanding it ourselvos,we forbear commont, In answor to & question concerning tho alloged irrogularities of the Houghs, Mr. Clary emphati- cnlly declared that “'As God is my judgo, I nev- or had any underatanding with the Houghs." - Tho Rogletrar gave somo curious testimony concerning “ splits.” If wo rightly undoratand 1t, theso splits are liable to bo, and aro somo- times, abused. A man rocoiving grain in 8 num- bor of cars rocolves s warehouse rocoipt for tho wholo, say 40,000 bushols, whioh recoipt ia rogis- tored by Mr, Clary, aud bocomos at onco nogo- tiablo, ¢ 'The holder of this receipt thon takes it back to the warohouss, and recoives, in lieuof it, eight rocoipte for 5,000 bushels oach, which, upon presontation to Mr. Clary, aro alao regis- tored, without any evidenco that tho original has boonoancoled. Ordinarily it ia forty-eight Liours, but, liko any other arrearage, it may be a much longer time that the original and tho oight “gplits,” roprosonting 80,000 bushels inatoad of 40,000 bushols, may bo outstanding bofore tho origiual is cancoled. Considering tho fack that thoso oight eplit rocoipts may ench changoe hands ten times in a single day, tho daplieation of tho. original receipt in this form may be of immenso " use snd profit, oapocially if tho market bo rising or falling, Mr. Clary says that he man- agos to bring all things out right in the end, and ho thinks that to roquiro tho original re- coipt'to ba cancoled bofore: admitting the + gplita™ to rogistry would be an iuconvenienco not componepted for by the provention of dupli- cate rocoipts for the same grain. On this point thore is rogm for & differonco of opinion; and the Loglatature, porbaps, upon Loaring the facts, might put & stop to the abuso by requiring that no grain sholl be dolivered and no * aplits issucd until tho corresponding receipts Lave Dboon offiolally canceled. Tho groat point eought by the law ia to provent- tho circulation of ‘any roceipt after tha grain has been delivered ; and thia oan only bo done by prolibiting the deliv- ery of any grain until tho receipts therofor shall have been publicly canceled, Mr, Clary staten that at tho boginning of the panio tho Hougha were in arrears in” the mattor of cancellation ; &0 was Murry Nolson, and *so was overybody elso.” 8o bad and 8o gonoral was this condition of things, that Mr. Clary went round among thom. o exhibitod a lotter which o had writton to the Commissionors xeporting thom, with the smount of thelr arrenragoes of uncanceled receipta— that ig, the amount of grain' they had shipped out without cancoling the receipts. He threatened them with the law, tho Grond Jury, and the Ponitentinry, aud also with tho publication of their conduct. Mr. Olary, in speaking of the effcot of Lis warnings, snid that the warchouacmon * did not care o fig for the law,” Grand Jury or Penitentiary, “but did caro & great deal™ about tho publication of the facts in the newspapers. Thishardly agrees with the bigh-sounding contempt which ware- housemen Bre supposed to entortain for news~ papor commonts upon thoir transsotions, There- ‘upon thore was 8 genoral hurrying among tho warohonsomen, and one of them, on Oct. 6, produgad ¢anceled recoipts to offaet 2 cargo of groin shipped out of Lis waroliouso on the 17th of Boptember. Mr. Olary relatos in his own way how two ele- vators, in 1873, found themsolvos with a laigo surplus of grain—oats in the ono case and corn in the pfhor—over and above their outstanding roceipts. Both consultod Lim, and ho oxplain how thoy managed to'get rid of it.

The New York World, in one of ita rocont Issmop, has .tho startling announcomont that iiha Domooratip papty ptands Like the storm- bosten ponle of Mount Washington, yosf-rootod 1, tha erust of the onrth and biktroisod with otorppl hills, atill ftog jis hoary summit into tho sky pftor.clonds have hiddoen jf for many dayal™ There is mugh morc of this bombgst in tho samo articlo, in which *mountsinp tower= ing In overlasting grandeur,” ‘‘granito moun- talng in & clonr atmouphere,” ' fouudations as oo a8 fho wosld,” “wild, darkoning storme," and othior natuial phonomens figyro with torrl- ‘blo effact, pnfl improns tho reador With & menoy of the ingvilgbility, the Immylsbility, Vo olos- usl proportions, the ptupendotin gisndour and ovorlastingnoss of the Democratlo pecky, Tho roador who cares to instituto « logp parelle} Jotween tho Democratio party snd the peak of Mount Washioglon will andoubtedly find somo pointg of roramblanga, Both aro storm-boaton, Thero Is no doubl of that. Poth pro rooted in the onrth, Thero 8 no doubt of PR R would bo just a8 difcult to got tho Domoeratio party ont of theearth as ik wouldbp to geb Mount Washington out of it. The Demooratio party (we are not speaking of Deomocyats a8 in- dividuals), like tho ponk of Mount Washingtor, is uttorly storile, and incapable of producing vogotation or yiolding fruit. The Domocratio ‘party, ko tho peak of Mount Washington, is i~ capablo of progrons or nactlon. Boyond thoso points tho rosemblance consos. Tho results of tho Novembor oloctions have shown that thoro aro romnants of tho Demooratjo party atill in oxislonco in Now Yorlk, Ponnnylvauia, Obio, Maryland, and Conhecticut. West of Ohlo, there 18 no ovidence to show that it put m an ap- poaranco ot tho polls oxcopt in cortain re- moto villago conlests, Moroover, thore s no ovidonco to show ihat the Domoorats In the Wostorn Biates desire to go back to tho old organization and name,—Afr, QGoorgo B. Bmith, of Madion, Wis, belng tho only ona who has erectod his bAnnor on tho hoary summit of Mount Waskington, and ho Laving beon prompily calted to onder by his col- loaguoa for so doing. Having lifted * tho hoary sammit" of the Domoeratio party into the atmosphors, tho World grows garrulous upon the subject of Dom- ooratio prinaiples, Will the World kindly inform us what Domooratio principlos are ? How long 18 it sinco tho Demooratio party laid in its stook of principlos ? During the War of the Robellion it hod o prinolplo which mainly brought on that war, to-wit : the perpetuation of slavory. Trom tho first day of tho organization of tho Republi- can party to tho outbrenk of tho War, it mads tho preservation and porpetuation of elavery its chiof oconpation, and It was the only issue upon which it fought ita battles at the polls, Daring tho War, it aided tho Southern half of the party, o8 far an it dared, buf, notwithstanding its ef- forts, the principle was lost forever, and tho Domocratic party ceased to he a power and be- camo & protest merely. Tho Republican party was evorywherd in tho ascendancy. In the po- litical struggles of tho last’ oight years, what principles Liave tho Demooracy had to offer, ox« copt thoso of tho Cincinnatl Convention, which the World mow ropudiates? What issue have they made at any olection? What other position have they taken than that of tho “‘granite mountain in the clear atmosphoro "—still, silent, blank, barrep, and immovablo? After gonoralizing for a column or more on tho undying prinoiples of Democra~ oy, tho idea sosms suddenly to ocour to tho World that it might be well to specify a princi- plo. Accordingly, it boldly aunounces that tho recont oloctions have shown' that itis safo for the Domoacratic party to take the atrongest and highest ground on tholquestion of Froo Trado. ‘Wo havo carefully revised the recent elections, nnd oxamined thom from top to bottom, but we fail tosce how they make it any safor for the Domocratio party to take grounds on Froo Trade. For all that wo can sao, it will be just as safo for the Demoaratio party to take grounds on the Cuban rovolution, or any other fact which had nothing todo with the recont election. In what Btato, city, country, or village was the issuo of TFroo Trado involved at the last election? In what platform, oxcopt thoso promulgated by, tho TFarmers and Anti-Monopoliats, 8 Fres ' Trado oithor mentioned or hinted at ? The World ends its its romarkable scroed by saying that *Thore iano better way than o stoadfast, courngeons adheronce to principlo.” This is & rather musty proverb ; but at the same timo it I8 necessary to catch your hare before you cook it, a8 anothor musty. proverb has it. It tho Domocratic party intends horeafter to ad- hore to principlos, it must first got some prinoi- ples. Until that timo, it will cortainly bo ss dend and immovabloas *the storm-beaten ponk of Mount Waehington, rock-rooted in the orust of tho earth, and buttrossed with eternal hilla.” It is possiblo for those persons of Democratic’ antocodents who now conatitute & minority of tho peoplo of thia country to holp mako & party which shall noxt year cloct a.'majority. of. the Congroens of tho United States, and two yoars Iater & Prosidont. - But wa can 800 no prospect of the rostoration of the Demooratic party to power.
