A PHIL iW, 1f"2- Onr Sclnhbor fnliulnalea- 0r neisjtlilxjr of the Iktnoenrt indulsiw in patriotic lltSofgd ilmjllont "liitaliitiii." Occasionally, QtlgiwWIke, as tlie spirit moves him, lie raises his voice to a high key of marshal earnestness and shout through his "snoot' in nasal tones a monotonous exhortation for his "hratlieriitg" i the faith to "kimlle the Democratic watch-fiivs ami marshal the Democratic Klans." Then he rkiUics down until some other inspiration kindles a rlnine of Sophmorean utU'rablemss upon the altar of his Democratic heart, and then elevating his facial handle skjward, a How of adjectivescrowd from his liis like froth from the orifice Ol a beer keg. Last week onr neighbor indulged in one of his most exstatic flights of periodic in spiration. His utterableness seems to have been over full, and his high sounding adjectives fairly piled over, under and through each other in their frantic efforts to get out. The text which calls forth this ef fusive word-spilling, is an interrog atory taken from an editorial in a recent mimlier of the Rkuistek, to wit: "Has the Republican party changed principles?" "No sir;" comes gurgling through tlie "snoot horn" of onr neighbor, "it's the same lying, cheating, deceptive, galvanized, perjured, raise, delusive, tricking, plundering, pillagitg, op- pressive, swindling, monarehial, and tyranical party to-day, that it was i i it i -.i I when it started into the war with . . . ! lies in its mouth and deception in its heart," Here our neighbor choked, either on two words getting crosswise in the north-east corner of his palate, because he had exhaust ed his supply of wind, or because tlie monstrous depravity which I prompted the utterance of such a j slander, sent a tinge of remorse to ' his conscience. We don't know which it was, but most concernedly . principles. From, high position, hope tliat the pause there was iu- j lWg a't vkv Mttj great mffucnee in faced by the last cause. What j Republican party, he had in will the "possums" Uiink of him if dulged ill the delusive hojie that lie continues to talK so r Jttimbull and Schurzand the rest of the "kjh sums," are Radicals still, iu irinci ple, having changed only iu.their feelinns towards Grant How can our neighbor and the Democ-1 racy generally, coalesce will i these men, who have done so much to develop Republican principles, and who still adhere to tlie cardinal principles, if what our neighbor charges in the above is true? If : of Gen. Grant, even though the al the Republkan party "started into : tentative might involve the entire the war with a lie in its mouth and dissolution ot the party. The effort deception m its heart," all of these "possums" were there, and have been with the party ever since, un iil quite recently, assistiiig iu devel oping that lie. The pupenaityofour neighbor to string words together has lead him into a great error, as the blustering wind he so earnestly pull's reaches friends as well as foes, farther down iu bis article he asks, "Can a lion change his skin or the lwiriard his sKts?" We do not know of at y animal or thing that sn snriass the Democratic par ty imlfc suddenness and aricty of its changes. It can adapt itself to any position on very short notice, and with the greatest case, and as surance. No, the Republican party cannot change its pohtk-al cuticle; t ing transacted in the Convention nor its principles which "spot" it that indicated compulsion, bribery with konesty, wisdom ami human- or "setting up," and the Jkmwmt ity without losing it identity ; but j with all ot it astuteness and lwast the identity of the Democracy is j ed sagacity, can adduce no substau known onlv' s it. eoiitiniies to : tial pivof to the contrary.

Aii ilttniciisc meeting to indorse tlie Administration of General Grant, and to advocate his iv-nonii-naUon, was held on the night of the 17th inst., at the Coojier Insti tute, New York, The to'egratn says that the demonstration, in point of numbers nnd enthusiasm, and in social and representative character, has rarely been equaled in New York. The seats were tilled, and thousands were compelled to re main outside. Among the promi nent citizens who thronged the platform, were Thurlow AYced, P. Cooper, A. T. Stewart, William, Orton, II. 15. Clailin, ( Yamlcrbilt and K, X. Morgan. Letters were received from Senator Conkling, Governor Curtis, Gerritt Smith, Governor llawley and others, A letter was received from W, Gib bon, Pn-sident of the Vorking raen's Central Union, in which he said : "You can state to the meet ing that the Work ingmen's Central Union, of the State of New York, numlieritig 20,000 members, will vote ami work tor the re-election of General Grant and Sickles." Tied Douglass also telegraphed from New Orleans that "The colored men are one and indivisible for the Republican party and its nominees." These are cheering indications which the Democracy may well ponder. KuuiiierH t'oiitrltlon. From an cxcliftiige we clip the following : Senator Sumner has recently re marked "that lie and Senator Schura have made consummate asses of themselves in their factious oppo- ilio" to tlloir ow" l'ai,.v ! y8 their efforts to defeat Grant have . i 1 1 t . - . i . simply mowed out into a fizzle at Cincinnati, tliat wUl damn any man whom it iinuiinates lor the Presi- ,1.,,.,.., i ti., - ,..;.... HO.. I , .1.111 tlt.lL .1 . "I'M "II.'IJ '! soap-giease peddlers would be as likely to secure a national hearing tor their nominee as the candidate of the convention." Senator Sumner committed tlie egregious blunder of supposing that the masses of Republicans could be influenced by men, rather than by Un nosition he mkdit take, from whatever motive, or anything he might do, would meet with the un qualified sanction of the party. Arrogant in this vain assurance, re gardless of the fact that his own Sute was Republican to the core, influenced solely by i?rsonal consid erations, he 1 leaded a coalition of like influenced Republicans, to break down the representative influence has proven a failure, and always will in such an issue. In the mind of the Repub'ican party of this na tion, princip'es are paramount to men ; measures are of more itnxir- taiKTe than advocates ; names are of no consideration only as they iden tify living issues; and this lesson has at last ojiened the eyes of Charles Sumner. The Democrat thinks we are un sophisticated because we deny that Hen Holladay dictated the nlatform and controlled the action of the late Republican Convention. .Mr. Hol laday was not a delegate to the Convention, neither was he in it during its session. There was noth- ly becomes the Democrat to talk of the "Railroad king dictating the terms" ot the "Radical campaign," after the iart played by Governor G rover in moulding the ticket in the late Democratic Convention at the Dalles. So potent was his in fluence, so great his power over the delegates, as to carry out his per sonal wishes in every particular. The year 1872 contains fifty-two 'Sundays. Iiutiiehae Troubles.

A great crowd of Gentiles soon fol- lowed, and Judge Havdon de- ' - iiounced the outrage and demanded his release, which was granted. The prisoner gave bonds to appear the Monday followinglast Mon day. The outrage was condemned by the decent portion of the com munity. Trouble was imminent on the Kith. Since the courts have been wiped out, Congress is the only jiower that can give relief to the Gentiles, ami if it is not grant ed, civil disturbance may transpire at any time. I'uliH-h)'. The new Tariff bill recently ! agreed upon by our Republican! Congress, is so low in its rates, as to ; scarcely amount to more t han a rev enue tariff.
