It is high time that they began to look forward in this direction, be cause they must be aware of the instructive fact, that from the second term of Moxnor’s Administration down to the present time, no party has ever been able to elect a President unless it had possessed strength enough to tarry the House of Representatives two years before. The logical deduction, there- fore, from this long series of precedents is, that the Democratic party cannot reasonably hope to elect their candidate forthe Presi dency in 1872 unless they can secure amajor Ity of the House this coming fall What, then, isthe platform whereon the | Democracy intend to plant themselves fc contesting the Congressional campaign which is now about to open? We know nothing of their purposes; but we assure them that if they hope for success they st Institute without de and prosecute with vigor, a thorough reform of their party in Fespect to ite principles, its measur s, and ite leaders, The party must abandon the | old contests which sprang out of slavery the war, and reconstraction. It must cease to bo an oligarchy, ruled by a few aristocratic and snobbish magnates, | who have grown rich and arrogant by chi canery and corruption ; and it must rely for ite victories upon the strength of its pri ) the | soon ® | tween ples and the wisdomn of its measures, rather than upon the shameless prostitution of the ballot-Loxes through fraudulent registries and gangs of repeaters at the polls, It must Prove that itis in favor of reducing the pub: lic burdene by showing ite faith by its works wherever, as in this State and in this city, it has control over the pullic expenditures. It must incorporate in its platfor neral } reduction of taxation, and especially the prompt abolition of the u come tax. It must proclaim itself in favor | constitutional i of restoring a just equilibrium between | the various departments of the Federal | Government, and between that Govern: ment and the several States, so that all pow er shall not be absorbed in Co: gress. It must boldly and earnestly contend for recog. nizing the independence of Cuba and guar- antecing that republic against the hostility of any European power. And it must kindle the popular heart and win the public confide by sat stying the people that it stands ready to vindicate the national honor wherever, and by whatever forcign government, the rights of American citizens are asea led. If the Democratic party will, by adopting | such a programme, convince the people that it is worthy to take the place of the present imbecile, fickle, cowardly, and corrupt Admin istration, and if it will at the same time place its standard in the hands of leaders who are honest and courageous, men and tact, thorough progressives, who ha ceased to wail over lost battles, whose whole minds are not absorbed In making money by of brains robbing the people, and who really believe in preserving our republican instivutions, the party may be able to carry the next House of Representatives If the Democracy are prepared for such a radical platform as this, they a prosperous future. If they are not, then lot them step aside and die with deceney while they may, for they will surely be annihilated tm the great contest of 1872 See lean The Reunited Presb yterians. The General Assembly of the Presbytorian » fora Church has spent the present week in erranging the details of the anion of ‘the two branches, which was effvct- ed in this city last 9 An Impression pre. vails in some quarters that the entire Pres byterian body is now consolidated. This is a mistake, as the following facts will show : In1 or 1838 the Assembly, being eon trolled by an Old School majority, expelled the Synods of the Ohio Western Reserve and of Western New York, on the alleged ground that they had departed from the canons of tho Westminster Confession of Paith. Ther upon the New School, under the lead of such men as Bevan, Bencuen, and ADAMS, 6 ceded from the organization, and set up the New School General Assembly, carrying with them tho ultraliberal portion of the Church, though rather less than a majority of the whole body, ‘The subject of slavery Dad sone o with this division-—the Nalng to the anti-slavery » OL School to the pro-slavery | but Bile, Though tho line of demarkation was doctrinal rather than sectional, nearly the en- tire Southern dopartinont of the Church Gave in its adhesion to the Old School, ‘Thus tho matter stood down to the era of the rebellion, ‘Then tho entiro Southern Portion of the Church, with som slight ex: eeptions in the border States, suc slod from both tho Northern branch: General Assembly of their own. This Int- ter division of the Presbyterian body, as is also the case with the Methodist and Baptist Churches, and perhaps some other denomina- tions, still contin Though the Old and New School Presby- terians would, to even a careful observer of their respective tenets, seem to bo pretty widely divided on some of the cardinal doe- trines of the Calvinistic creed, the loaders of tho two bodies have for several years past secmed to treat their differcne-s as formal rather than fundamental, a strife about words instead of things. Nevertheless, it can- not be disguised that it was the war for the preservation of the Union, rather than achange in tlreir religious opinions, that operated to bridge over the chasm which for a whole generation had separated the Old and the New School. From the very outbreak of the war the New School, as was natural from their long cherished anti-slavery opinions, enthusiastically rallied around the imperiled flag of the Republic, But the Northern and Western section of the Old School had sym- pathized long ero the war commenced with the patriotic spirit which roso up in opposi- tion to the Fugitive Slave law, the raid upon Kansas, and the Drep Scort decision ; and when the Sumter gun reverberated over the land, the masses of that class of Presby- terians, with an overwhelming majority of their clergy, vied with the New School in zeal for the vindication of the national honor and the salvation of the Federal Uuion. As with Wat Democrats and Republicans proper, 80 with the Old and New School Presbyterians, the dangers, and toils, and sacrifices of the war drew them together in a common struggle for great principles of govern. ment and the inalienable rights of man, Thus their old metaphysical controversies over acommon creed gradually dwindled into in- significance ; and after a sufficient amount of negotiation to give the affair a canonical aspect, they smoked the pipe of peaeo—if the orthodox disciples of CALVIN can be pr sumed to smoke—joined their forces toe- ther, and are now united in battle array for ® vigorous, and let us hope an effective attack on the kingdom of Satan. Thongh theso two branches of this power. ful religious denomination have united in one organization, we presame the independ. ent thinkers of neither have changed their doctrinal opinions, but have only agreed to tolerate ono another's differences in the con- struction of the Westminster Confession, We hail this rounton as harbinger of ug for the whole country. teriaus wiil doubtless nder the same roof with thron; and thus, In due discord Le. people of the two Let md tine com The Southera Pre their Ni Beason, One ele wns and union will be removed, ments of he he U us have poe — America Cowering. istration of Mr. Haat. tos Fisi, the American Government has been co ted into the watchdog of Br.tish | | end Spanish interests in this h liere. ‘The Mos 2 doctrine aimed at woakcuing monar chica influence in the New World. oe Fist | doctrine strains every nerve to strengthen it To be sure, this is done under the plea of a {fur international neutrality ; bud it is { And history will not trouble itself to inquire how or why, It will be enough simply to record the stupendous fact that it was donc, and that too soon after the termination of our civil war, during which Great Britain and Spain lifted up our domestic enemies to the rank of a belligerent, rejoicing over our de- feats, and mourning. over our victorics. That the American people are not vindictive has been amply proved since the end of the war; to wreak revenge upon the enemies of thing, and to re republican 4 crouch before is another thing; and it is this r thing of which Gen. Grant has been guilty Before he became President his throats were a8 loud as those of Bombastes Furioso, Since that event he has sung 80 sinall as to disgust the world.

Nothing could poss!) more satisfy the desire for revenge of Jev- FERSON Davis and the other fallen men of the Lost Cause than to sec tl conquered, not by a foe wor but conqueror of his steel, by the adventurers who rule n, and the olignrchy that rules Brita ——. The Fenian General ( gusted with rotten ASON, who became the invading forces on Trout yesterday, and abandoned the enterprise of conquering Canada, is no novice in the art of Though still a young man, being not yet thirty-five yeurs old, he is six feet six inche in height, and his fighting weight is pounds, with physical strength in propo tion to his size, and the most unques- tionable courage, Gieason's life has beco a singular one, He was born in Ireland, and at anearly age took part in en abortive rising in that country, After this he made his way to Rome, and ed the army of the Pope, where sained until about the time the rebellion broke out in the United States, He arrived bere in 1604, at once enlisted, and rose to bea lientenant colonel in the Sixty-third New York Infantry, w gallant Irish regiment, Leing mustered out at the close of the war in 1865, he went buck to Huly again, and once more put on the uniform of the Papal army, He now distinguished himself war, he re in ‘fighting the brigands who about that time infested parts of the Papul territory, and was decorated for the antyy he exhibited in these encounters, In 1507 we find him in the United tates again, serving as on Tospector in the Internal Kevenue Department, He was for a time connected with the celebrated Collector Bainey, and also with Colonel Bean Pouren, Io this sphere of effort Gueasow exhibited extra ordinary courage and activity, His campaigns against illicit whiskey were bold, brilliant, and decisive, Fear was stranger to his breast, and he never hesitated in attacking @ hidden distillery or storehouse, no matter what the odds, It was cheering to see him one day near the Five Ports, engaged m a very . Wil organized § lively scrimmage with » crowd of his 6wn coun- n in alject cbsequiousness | erepit Spain, and by | trymen, who’ were attempting to recapture a wagon loaded with whiskey, which he had seized and was catrying off. Alone and unaided he maintained the conflict, and had really gained the victory when some policemen came to his assistance, and the whiskey was borne away with- out further difficulty, In this fight it was funny to see the gigantic Inspector dealing blows right and loft, and thinking no more of whipping a dozen infuriated men than an ordinary man would think of resisting the same number of small boys. Tn this way Gieason legitimately accumulated a considerable sum of money, with which he went down to Virginia and bought « farm near Rich- mond; and that is the last we have known of him until his present appearance upon the field of blood as the leader of the Trout River Fenians, His campaign was brief, but not dishonorable to his military reputation, Ie is a natural fi and likes a battle better than his brea! prefers the free and easy style of the dashing Zouaves to the regular tactics of prosaic sol- diors; and if he had a fair chance at the red- coats of Jonx Burs, they would find him no tri- fling foe. a The success of the great Wereton in walking one hundred miles in loss than twenty. two hours naturally calls attention to previous achievements of the same character. Of these we find a very interesting account in a work on Tedestrianism, published in Aberdeen in 1813. It seems that Rovert Banter of Norfolk, who was born in 1719, used frequently to walk from Thetford to London in one day, returning the next; the distance, 81 miles, Reen of Hampshire, in 1791, made 60 miles in a little more than 9 hours. In 1762 Jomw Hoaee mado 100 miles in 23 hours and 15 minutes. In 1787 Fosten Powetn walked from Canterbury to London Bridge and back in 23 hours and 50 minutes, the distance being 109 miles, In 1806 Joserm Ena of Macclesfield walked 172 miles in 49 hours 20 minutes, In 1788 Jon Rory walked 700 miles in 14 days, and Dowien of Towcester walked 600 miles in seven suceossive days, In 1811 Otiven walked 100 miles in 93 hours 60 minutes, and Eowanp Minima did the same distance in 23 hours 25 minutes. In 1812 Jonatnan Wanixe of Lan- cashire walked 136 miles in 34 hours, and Guan- vitk of Shropshire alked 142 miles on the Bath road in 29 hours and 45 minutes, In 1812 Lieut. Groates walked 72 miles in 11 hours 56 minutes. The greatest pedestrian of all, how- ever, was Capt, Ronent Manctay, a descendant of the celebrated Quaker Bancuay of Ury, In 1801, while in training to walk upon a wager, he made, in the park of Lord Facixensena, 110 in 19 hours 27 minutes, In 1806 he walked 100 miles in 19 hours, over the worst road in the kingdom, and just at the breaking out of a se- vere storm, Exclusive of stoppages, the distance was performed in 17 hours 80 minutes, In this walk he was attended by Wittiam Cross, his ser- vont, who made the distance in the same time as the master; and subsequently Cross walked 100 miles in 19 hours 17 minutes, on the Aberdeen road. In 1807 Banctar walked 78 miles in 14 hours, over the hilly roads of Aberdeenshire. In the course of this year he ran 19 milesin 2 hours and § minutes, making the first 9 miles in 50 minutes, though the road was hilly and bad. In 1809, when he was 28 years old, Bancuay accomn- plished the great exploit of walking 1,000 miles in 1,000 hours. In the coursoof this feat bis Weight, which was 186 pounds at starting, fell off pounds, c days afterward he joined the expedition to Walcheren, where he served as an mp to the Marquis of Hextur. The expedition was unfortunate, but Barctay returned swfety, After this he lived the life of a couutry pan at Ury; and the only public exploit ia which he was engaged was the training of Tow Cran for his great match ageinst Mourneacx. From these fucts it will be scen that, brilliant as was Weston’s success on Wednesday last, he has still @ great deal to accomplish before his name can be found at the very head of the noble catalogue of walkists, i Why not change the hours for musie on the public parks? ‘The app from 5 to 7, is convenient to very few, excepting nurses and children, The wealthier classes at those hours are either dining or driving, and tho den until 6 for any of th the music is over, Ls 16 aud 8, or better still the uinmer evenings, between 7 and 9, thie She The t state of the navy under Adwiral Pourtu’s mismanagement is very cle shown by the in keep inc Miantonomol mile. time now ated, the o'clock, to rea ic, are confined to their work It is almost impossi the parks befor burs betwe ineft ly ity of the Department to ission the double-turrcted iron-clad , how lying in our harbor, while it is unable to send off ships all ready for se consequence of the positivs lack of scan The times of the crew of the iron-clad are now nearly up, and no men are ready to replace them ; so she must be soon put out of commission, Ordinarily there are plenty of men offering them- selves fur enlistment in the navy ; but now it is iipossible by any inducements yet held forth by the Government to bring in a bab a week at our principal Congress the subject, and provide means to recruit the navy if itis possible, Something must be done all find our thig from the ocean, so far as men-of-war Even the petty squadron em- ployed in guarding St, Domingo must soon be re- called if we do not lo q —— The recent Congressional debate on the naval appropriation showed the inonstrous t) United States navy there is one officer toabout every thr come a sinecure re! mo v's doz: rendezvous, should invests very soon, or we withdraw are ¢ neern tim ots tin th men, and that our navy has be- without eat, where men h to work fore living have es like barnacles on the industry ¢ fellow-citizens, and seemingly would prefer d to detachment from this relation to the publi Every taxp: say that these supertiud should be got rid of, Guawt, however, resists the reform, and strengthens in his place the Secretary of the Navy, who has the effroutery to argue te spirit enow treasury, will 3 ollicers, high and low, er in the country ongri that he has an official rij to add thirty-three per cent, to the pay of naval ¢tlicers without the authority of a law, —— A serious charge of malalministration, if not of corruption, is made against Post eval Caeswatt, by some of the le manufacturers of the United Stu that the contract for furnishing stamped en- velopes to the Government, for which bids were publicly solicited, was recently awarded to the highest, and not, as required by law, to the low- est bidder, the quality of goods offered by the former being no better than those oflvred by his competitors; and that when the con to be executed, provisions w other sizes than were mentioned in the advertise ment, and for extra compensation for lined ex velopes and ruling, The manufacturers say that the Government will lose by this action of the Postmaster-General from $200,00) to $400,009.
