which such an uncontrolled majority ger impends all the result of party strife fanned by unscrupulous demagogues aided by a venal press and we are more sorry to say by a cal pulpit in many places The danger of party strife in a popular government is greater than in any other and in the virtue intelligence dor and national sentiment of our people and the love of that Constitution which our fathers gave consists the palladium of our national safety peace and happiness Against this party strife j we introduce the language of President Washing ton in his Farewell address and we ask it to be read and acted upon in thc fearful it is a fearful one This spirit from our nature having its root in the sn kind nevertheless ought not to be entirely out of sight the and continued mischiefs of the spirit of party are to nake it the interest and duty of a wise to discourage and restrain it It serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration It tates the community with ill founded jealously and false alarms tbe animosity against another foments occasional riot and It opens Ike foreign corruption which tads a to lee nice to the remotest frontiers of the country perceptibly permeating every town and hamlet until the nation feds the invigorating benefits of those principles which have long laid dormant For many years the government has been and all the power of the Federal and State authorities shaped their actions more with a v ew of benefiting and perpetuating the party which placed then in power and if that is government through the channel of party they are content to let all other in- passions Thus the policy and will of one try to the polky and will of another is opinion that parties ia tries are useful checks upon the administration of This within certain limits is probably true and in governments of a monarchical east patriotism may look with indulgence if with avor the spirit of party But in those vf ilar character in

ought cordial of this kind teresUs take their chance If they can sustain themselves weD and good if not they must be It will be a matter of rejoicing if the nucleus of a party is formed at Richmond on

place the 1 that if they were carried ejection of and Viet President as far as out tlle pat possible beyond the control and influence of party as could consistently be done under the rule of universal suffrage And it was also doubtless their intention that he electoral college should exercise their functions without any other regard ban to choose the best men in the country to ill these respective positions The earlier Presidential contests appear also to embody this view as candidates were not then nominated by packed conventions and the tors not trammeled with party platforms upon which they were placed to remain at all hazards until a new set of resolutions told them to come down and adapt themselves to another and constructed one Different Individuals and different States it U true

Under the prescribed mode we suffer many evils which originally were not foreseen It encourages party spirit and fosters party and by a of successes the party becomes the most unrelenting of tyrants

stand in way of inquiry suggested hut the very document read contained all the facts officially set forth If the Senator wanted to prevent the recurrence of such transactions he would not stand in the way of applying the proper legislation but now four years had elapsed and neither that Senator nor those who act with him have asked an investigation U is a little strange to be so to couple these transactions The commit- tee could not examine both at once and therefore time and money would be lost by adopting the amendment He wanted to know whence the resources derived for the Harper's Ferry invasion who supplied the money munitions and counsel Congress could not act on thc subject witl out official information and if it should turn out Congres had no power to prevent such occurrences it is the duty not of the southern States alone but of all States to take proper sures for their protection He alluded to the re- marks of Trumbull respecting the shrieks from Kansas not being heard in

probable that Scott will assent to even an im- plied apology for act or arrange for joint occupation of the island If Le withdraws troops at all it will be lone distinctly as a concession to British sensibility with a clear understanding such withdrawal is not to be considered as implying doubt of American title to the territory but that its sole object b to restore matters to such a position that England may with honor to herself resume negotiations for the settlement of the boundary question by treaty Washington Dec 7 HOUSE Kellogg said he was not at the conference but what he had said was the fact Dud offered a resolution which was adopted to invite the clergymen of the city to open the House with prayer Morris wanted to know from his colleague the authority for statement alleging

an instrument of despotism An objection had besn urged that Sherman bad ed a recommendation for the circulation of per's book He Horris did not sign it nor had he read the book So far as he understood

friends under his loving care pampers them with the rich spoils of office and sets his foot upon the ing forces and this is done without distinction of merit or demerit and hence in most instances these subordinates become petty despots with occurrences The South was not so much tled by the foray of Brown and others but at the sympathy expressed in the North for him and at apparent indifference of the mass at the Korth at such manifestations The Senator from III poses to turn the matter into a party issue Does he suppose the South regards the peace and meanness enough to commit all manner of an- j ty of community as a party matter? They are gleam of thc Made when it said there was no sympathy in the The debate was continued 111 a late hour when j for Brown it was a libel Thc papers of a second ballot was taken as follows Sherman

The man out being smothered by party issues let us know chosen would be thc choice of the people as em- as if he had been nominated ly in a packed convention and as be would have escaped all thc vile
