We advise such Repub- Means to read the history of James Bu- chanan’s Administration. It is sunined up in asingle phrase from the old Public Funetton- ary himself: “A State has no right to se cede, but Utece Is no power in the Caustitue tion to coeree a seceded State buck Into the Union.” Here is the very essence of dough- faeelsin, that pustilanimous quality of tho Northern Democrat which has rendered his party infamous for forty years. ‘The habit of sudservieuey long indulged made of the Democratle party North a traitorous organization, Krom the breaking out of the War of the Rebellion to the end it sympathized with the aetive treason of the South. Its treason was of tho cowardly, sneaking sort, a treason that crawled on its belly, and peered about in overy direction carefully o see that no patriot standing ercet on hfs feet was near by to spurn and spit upon it before it ventured to cheer the Re- belllon, But. In 18¢4 the Democratic treason whieh had been half concealing itself in the lodge-rooms of disloyal societles—Kuights of the Golden Cirele, and the like—guthered all its cohorts, and in Natlonal Convention ra solved: 7 ‘That this Convention doos explicitly declare, as the sense of tho Aimeriean people, that after Your yours of fallure to restore the Union by the experinent of war, during which, wider the pra- tense of a military necessity of n War power high: er than the Constitution, tho Constitution kselt, has Leen Marogaried In avery part. und publia Nberty and peivute rut alike trodden down, and tho material prosperity of the country o8- sontlully tnpalred, Justice, Nberty, and the pub- lie welfare demutid that ‘immediate efforts bo tudo for a cesaition of bostitities, with a view to an ultimiete convention of all tho Suites or othor peneenble moans, to the ond that at the earllest pructcnble moment, pence nny bo to stored on the basis of tho Federal Union of ail the States, Could anything be more abject and mean than this ples of 0 pack of men too cowardly to fleht on the side of the Rebels in the field, whose cause they espoused ? ‘Think of those Wy-Hyerbd fellows assuming to express “the sense of the Ameriean veople” about a civil war on nelther slide of whieh they dared to fight! But this was the act of a Convention of the Democratic party North,—the samo party which at Cinclunati talked bravely about matntaining the public faith! “Wo demand that an Immediate effort be made for acossation of hostilities,” they exelatwed In 1864, when tha Rebellion was on the verge of utter collapse. “Let us have peace’? they exelalmed, And how? Oh, ‘on: the basis of the Federal Unton of all the States,"—on tho busts of # compact which any ons of the States might brenk at pleasure, on the basis of the Kentucky and Virglala resolutions of 1703, Whether crawling In the dust between the legs of slaveliuklers or Rebel Brigadiers, or standing upright in Convention, the Dem- ocrathe purty never loses sight of its darling theory.that this 1g not a Nation, Doughfacelsm his bean the constant bane of American polltles, and the Demogatle party Is {ts prophet, and every Demoerat North its disciple. No Southern outrage was ever s0 great ag not to find {ts apologist in tho Democratic ranks of the North, When, fn 183, Brooks, of South Carolina, stalked into the Senate Chamber and felled Charles Sumner to the floor and beat him with a club, there was not a Northern Democratic Senator fn the hall who possessed sufllelent moral courage to Interfere to prevent the assasina- tlon ofa brother member, And, lilinit mean- nest t the shinbutlders of Malne sent the would-be assusla a liege bundle of canes, ninde of varlous deserlptlons of wood, ag a token of thelr appreciation of ils valor f ‘Tho brutality of Brooks has been repeated a (housand times in the South slice the clase of the War upon the persons of black and white Republicans, and on every occasion there has been found In the ranks of the Demoeratle party North a subseryiency anit a doughfacelsin to mateh it Men of4he North, you think thls party composgil of two parts brutality and one port cowardly meminess will nut rob you through taxation to pay Rebel claims, do you?

The St. Louts papers assuine that Chicago hag an tntorest In placing obstacles fn the way of such an improvement of the nuvigae ton of the Misstasipnl River as wil prevent that city from becontng an extensive grain ninrket, and that despita Chivago the atop. ton of the barge system at St. Louls will in tlie make that city one of the great pre nary grain markets of the world, ‘There hover was a greator mistake than in: suppos ing that any person tn Chicago ls opposed to the reduetlon of the cost of transportation of grain, no matter how great that reduction may be, ‘Tho Qlobe-Denecrat, of St. Louls, hus states the case: Tho muln quustion at tho bottom of tho grain trade Is very siniply, und, #0 far ua we ura von} cerned, it takes’ this terms Tf tha whoat and corn of tha Wost can bo bronght to tue markota of Europe by way of Bt, Louis und Now Orleatd cheaper than by ‘any other route, thoy will bo browght by this ruuto. Tho promutera of the burge movement assure thut the river route hus natural advantages which cannot be matched and that these advantaves make "it | possible to carry, a bushel vrain from st. fouls ta Liverpool, by way of tho Misalasippt, from two to four vents cheaper thats tho wuine work can be done by way of any of tho rull or ako and rail routes north of St. Lows. ‘This bulng taken us true, It follows that, duoner or later, tho surplus grain of the West will ba sont to Europe by way of St, Louls. ‘Thy bust assurance tut tho barge movewunt wil prove a great success Is found 1 tho fact that its limited trial durlug the pust two Years has produced revults go walletying in their churacter that a nunber of the wealibicay and abrewdest capitalists of Wall atrect have taken thotnatter in band aud organized a barge line swhieh will soon havo a varrying capnelty of 4,000,000 bushols por month bétweon thie olty ‘and New Orleans, A "The grain trade ot Chicago covers nwidees tent of country. ‘The grain sent to this ely is sold here for distribution to varlous points, The mills of New England and the people of New Enaland, as well those aloiig the coast as those In tho Interlor towns nnd vil- Jages, are supplied with wheat, flour, corn, and oats directly from this efty by Inke, by eanal, and by rail; nike manner the interlor elties and towns of New York, as well ns of Maryland and a large part of Pennsylva- nia, are also supplied with breadstutfs from the Western States, To supply the defieiency of grain In these Eustern Statea calls for a very large proportion of the breadstuffs sold henee, In addition, this city delivers to foreign purchasers tho bulk of the grain that finds' export nt the Canadian ports for Europe, as well as that which finds its way to other countries through all the Atlantic ports from Portland to Norfolk, Lt 1s posstble that the domestic market: lying east of Ghieago, which. cons) sunes Cully one-half tho surplus grain pro- duction of the country, can hardly be sup- piled by way of St. Louls, New Orleans,.and the coastwise servics from the gulf to tho northeast, alr thence back again into the {n- terior, ie ‘The Ste Louls napor wisely adinits this, and claims for the river the trade with Europe, ‘This ts possible, but itis dependent on yarl- ous considerations. ‘Ihe, time was when all the breadstuffs and provislons for Europe were sunt to England and thence distributed to various parts of the Continent. This has been Jargely changed, find breadstutis aut provisions are no longer purelmsed iu En« gland for tho Continental States; they are purchased here in this city and shipped henee on through bills direct to French and German ports. ‘The purchases are made by telegraph, the goods are sipped immediately, and are delivered at thelr Euro- pean dustinntion about as soon as they would arrive at New Orleans if ordered from some point onthe Upper Mississippi, ‘lime ts an inportant clement entering Into the cost of transportation; every day adds something to the expense of moving, and as brendstuits aro now bought here, and are never for- warded.on connnisslon, the transactions are prompt and coniptete. When the means of transportation from St. Louls via New Or leans to Liverpool and to the varlous ports of France and Germany are so complete ant thorough that it will be cheaper, time and all other things considered, to move breadstuits by that route. to Europe than by the Northern lines, then, of course, that route will be employed; but so soon as the river route offers successfil competition in the way of cost, so soon will the Northern Ine find the means of carrying as low and ag. ehvap as by tho river, ‘Thus, during tho six months of lake navigation, the rates of rail- road transportation are subordinnted to those ‘by tho lake and the canal; if the St. Louis mer- chants woult so utilize tho river route, and offer the same competition to tho railroads. during the winter season that fs offered by tha Inkes and tho canals In the other half of the year, then tho managers of thd rail transportation of the country wilt find themselves controtied in thelr esuctlons to the extent that these computing routes offer to do the same work for less money. This may be suid to result substantinity in leaving the bulk of the busl- ness In tho hands of tho railroads, but at an enforeed reduction of rites, and that will of necessity be the fact, because no matter how. low tho water routes may be able to do the service, the ‘rall ‘routes camiot afford’ to abandon the busindss, and must perform the service at the best rates thoy can get under tho competition. Chicago, with an open Ido and continnous eanal, hag no fear of rallroail extortions; it ty when the lake and the canal are closed, and the only route hence is by rail, that oppres- stons can be successfully practiced, ‘The fael that the railroads do not suspend trans- portatlon when the Inke and the canal aro open, but are able to reduce thelr charges and successfully compete with the water route, Is suicient to show that, no matter how low tho cost of transvorting breudstuils by barge Ines to New Orleans may be reduced, the rallvonds will.not permit theuiselves to lose any serious proportion ot thelr busitiess when they can perform the same service for tho same or less money, Inthe menntino: we trust tho merchants and capitalists of St. Louls will go on with their barge entorpriye; that they will innke It so complete and so thorough that they will be able to offer transportation to tho enst’ by the rlver route at such rates that the raflway companies will bo compelled ta choose be- tween tho lossof the carrying business or perform tho service ab mites not ex- ceullyg or even less than those offered, by the water route, “ho Western country will thereby reap tho great profit, A reduction of the rate of transportation between St. Louis and New York equal to five cents por bushel will enable the merchants of St. Louis to pay producers ive conts per bushel more for thelrgraln, adding that much to their general profit, Instead of taking it from thom and plying It to the tranbportation companies. .

Ln 1860 the Prussia artiilery was badly equipped and badly handled, ‘and the cavalry hardly mmovod faster than the Infantry, butin the next eatpatgn tho artiilery won as high renown as the Fronch did at Wagram, “This grent improvement in there two armas,” says the Thnes' correspondent, “has been due to the constant care of the Germanollcers, who are, noyer content to reat Mle or to bu sattated’ with results already achieved, After uvery catnpaign and every muncuvre, careful note lstaken of any falllng or errors, axl every possible improvement Ja” considered and welghed, From forelgn armies they are by no wenns loath to leayn, and thoy seck ns eugerly for lessons jn, the results of Plevna or Adrlanonle as from the purnde grounds of Potsdam or Chalons.” As instances of the way thay make luprovements the foltaws' ing are Interesting; In 1806 the needle gin did gool servic, but in 1870 the French Chassepots were superior to {t, wheretipon the Germans at once adopted: au improved breeehlonding gun, Now thoy | are considering the Question ‘of arming tho tronps with a magazine weapon, and a rite which fires twenty-five rounds tn aiminute!

For this renson tho jerkian, horse artillery fs armed with roally Mahe fra, which can fotlow cavalry in all its Imoyomerts, While the.teld artillery Is equipped with gtts of practically the samo calibro ng those In the British service. ‘The Ynprovement in the cavalry service 1s Just as marked as that in the artillery, and they are ifow perfecting schemes to use Inrgo masses of horsemen to drive off the oncmy’s horsenien, to'protect, the flanks, rear, and front of the army, to ride down broken columns of Infantry: when ammunition hing falled, and tqtush froth’pluces of conccalmenit upon tho enemy's guns, "Tho Uetatls of thought and labor expended upon the arlny in Germany ara stiply aAinazlug. The Government fas made that country on@ vast armed camp.

No prize- fighter ever went through such training ag the German soldier. Franco Is.as far behind Germany now as she wns ten yenrs ago, and incase of another encounter would une auestionably be doubled up and crushed even more ensily, than slo was then, And what does all this indicate? Simply the convie- tion of Germany that one of these days sho witl have to fight Russia on the ono side and Franco on tho other, She has an altiance with Austria now, but alliances aro easily: broken, and she does not know that Austria will be with hor when the great en- counter comes, She cannot count upon England. So she goes on perfecting, and = dritiing, «and strengthening her armies, She Ig cating up the resources ofthe country, finpoverlshing ber people, and exhausting herself; but It is a necessity that she cannot avoid, “It is the result of a stert: determination on the purt of forty will- tons of penptp that other nations shall not overrun thom, SOME! APOSTATE CORPSES. Judge Tourgea devoted a part of his Me- Commlek Hall speech to a train of thought which will not unlikely strike Messrs. Trum- bull and Farnsworth, of this State, as per- sonal In its bearings, He sald that tho Re- publican party 1s a party of progress, aud that “a party of ogress always drops its dead carcasses along, tho rond.? Ho directed attention to the faet that young men are rarely found leaving the Republican party, but that the corpses can be traced into the Demoeratle graveyard, and * with almost every one of these dead ones we find an ine staneo of the dread disease which Is known Uhroughont the country us a ‘gorehend.?* It is altogether likely that Judge Tourgee, wheu he spoke In this strain, was unaware that the Democrats in the West Division of the elty had, that very afterneon, sought to resurreet one of the corpses of the Republic an party by nominating John F. Farnsworth for Congress. It wags probably not within the personal knowledge of Judge Tourges that Jolin F. Farnsworth, old Abolittoulst and Natlonallst, was ono of thu conspleaous Viethins In this State of the disease known as “sorehead.” Nevertheless, Judge Tourgee’s remarks on this subject wero 28 apropos ag fe he had polnted them directly at Gen, Farnsworth, Gen. Farnsworth himself was apparently ausionus to apologize for Ils inexcusable apostasy, though it dates back some years, He endeavored to establish an orfgloal pill ation with the Democratic party In the days of hig catlow youth by elvlming that te had cast his Arst Presidential vote for Janes K, Polk, but aflerwards left the Democrats on necount of thelr subserviency te slavery. ‘The fact iy, that Gen, Farnsworth, 08 long as he was a Republican, passed before the publicas onsof the original Abalitioniats,” ast aid not refer In lls prime to the youthful folly of having voted for J. K. Polk, though such netlon was excusable then, because tite Re publican party was not In existence at the time. But Gen, Farnsworth was a hearty Republlean during all the best years of his Mfe, He remajned a Republican so long as his constituents in the old Second: District continued to elect hint to Congress, When hig old nelahbors and friends, for reasons. whieh probably appeared good and sufllcient “to them, grew tlred of hls services and wanted a “change? and deetined tosend John Farng- worth back to Congress after he had enjoyed the honors and-emoluments of place during a dozen terms, more or less, hls Republican ardor been to cool. He endeavored to reach Congress by an independent flank move ment, and, Talling in that, he abandoned the National Avolitlon party and his old alstriet; and now he rises from his political grave to filekor fora fow weeks ns a State-suverelguty Demoeratic candidate! Gon. Fansworth might have spared hinselt the hunitltation of endeavoring to slow that he had always been in sympathy with the Demoeratle doctrines, Including the viclous heresy of State-soverelgnty, with the single exception of slavery. Sueh an announces, ment was a serlous reflection upon his per- sonal slncerity dirlng the useful partof his career, Tt was apnecssary, because noboly is likely to mlsconatrue his present purpose In acthag with the Ueughfaco Democrats, Ho waits to go to Co} ss nealn. No ta will fig to bo the candidulg of any party that will noluate him, aud ran In any district thie Willaccept him, Habs outlived his hold upon the suffrages of the Republicans and forfeits the yespeot and confidences of those who honored hin go lavishly In his. vigor; ond he turns to the Democratic party—a hare bor of fefuge forall the obsoletcand battered eratt—witl t @ vain hope of renewing ina superanntiottd condition the exeltomont and gain of pubitle Ife, fr As with John Farnsworth so with nearly all the “political corpses” upon who tho Democrats selzo In tholr effort to enteh Ree publican votes.
