FRIDAY. 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. Tt hard-
change.

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.

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 .

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.
