Tho Constitution of the United States declares that "a well regulated militia is necessary to tne security of a tree state." 1 he rnea of a perma' nent standing army was very rcpug. nanant to the minds of our furcfatn- erf.. One of the articles of acocsation against tho English King was that lie had kept bero, among the colon isU, standing armies in lime of peace, The idea of a standinir army it at war with tho genius of our republican institutions. Ut late, however, a sen timent seems to have grown up in certain quarters, favorable to the growth of this unrcpublican idea. lho General of tho Army. Sherman, has been quoted as libeling his coun trymen by saying, in an after-dinner speech, that "without the army, the American people would be a mob. When the wine is iu, the wit is out, eaitu the adase: and perhaps this may account for the Sbermauio re mark. But hte events have been used as arguments to prove that!Sher- man was right. No people on earth havo less ol the mob spirit than the Americans, none less need tor do meslio purposes a standing army. Tho liadicals are the advocates of an increase of the power, privileges, and numbers of the Army. They say that the recent disorders requiro a hand stronger than tho State militia aud stronger than the General Gov ernment's military lorco to put them down; that as we grow in population, as the pubho domain is settled, popu lation will bo forced back upon pop ulation and disorders will increase, which may result in anarchy, as Lord Macaulay predicted, unless the power F resent to prevent its development, t is very true that regular troops are moro reliable, if not at first more effective, in suppressing local out breaks than the militia; but that is no reason why they should supplant the latter. As ours is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, it is most nt mat tne people, that is, lho Government, should to always in a way to protoct themselves. Ino hurried appeals now made for a hearing of tho opposite doctrine, and the unrepublican ono, are fortunately mado at a timo when tbey cannot be either illustrated or sustained by the facts. At tho time of the recent outbreak, tho Federal Government could not have been in a condition to suppress it alone if it had an army at its command of twice tho ordinary number. Nothing but local military service, directed by lo cal authority, could have coped with a trouble that appeared lo bo break inr out in every quarter. Aud, more over, the sequel shows that it was al together an affair for local handling, tho nresumntion always bcinjr that the Federal authority was behind. It was on lho very distinct ground that the Federal power was only aiding and sustaining the State Governments that Gen. Hancock settled the dispute raised by Col. trench, in rennsyl vanis. by ordering bjm to turn over his troops to the officer nei t in com mand. Gen. Hancock knew that the authority of the Slate had not been led bv that of the Federal Government but that the latter was present only to aid and countenance the former in its own legitimate work. In the leadinz Republican paper of tho country the New York Times a set argument m made lor ine supre macy of Federal authority in sapprcs- sine domestic disorder, While it ad- mits that time will be nteaea 10 cor rect by legislation the abuses insepar able from the influence of corporations over the Legislatures of States, it in sists that there shall be "no delay in the adoption of measure required to impart to the Federal Government sufficient physical force for the main tenance of domestic order in any con ceivable emergency. Ooly a strong nnvsrnmpnt ran crarinle promptly with the vaiicd forms of danger that are now strewn thickly over one third of the Union." It was Jefferson's favorite doctrine that a republican government is stronger when it reposes on the direct support of the people themselves. He said, writing from Paris in 1787, to James Madison: "I own I am'not a friend to a very energetic government. It is always oppressive. It places the Governors, indeed, more at their ease at the ex nense of the people. Tlie late rebel lion in Massachusetts ha given more alarm than I think it should have done. Calculate that one rebellion in thirteen States in the course ol eleven years is but one lor each Slate in a century and a bait No country should be to lonz without one. Nor will any degree of power in the hands of the Government prevent insurrec tion. In England where the bsnd of Dower is heavier than with us, there 're seldom half a dozen years witb- I out an insurrection. In Franoe, where ' it is still heavier, but lcs despotic, ss j Montesquieu supposes than iu some 'otler countries, and where there are always two or three hundred tbous Biiu luiu noujr iu viuou mnui reciiuus. there have been three in the courso of the three years I have been here, in every one of which greater numbers Were engaged than in Massachusetts:' and a great deal more blood spilt. In Turkey, whero tho sole nod of tho dospot is death, insurrections aro the events of every day- Compare again the ferocious depredations of their iu s irgonts with the order, tho modera tion and the almost self extinguish n ent of ours. And say, finally, whether peaco is bost preserved by giving energy to the Goverrireut or information to the people. This last is the most certain and the most le gitimate engino of Government. Ed- ucato and inform tho whole mass of tho people. Enable thorn to aoo that it is their interest to preserve peaoo and order, and they will prcservo them. And it requires no very high degreo of education to conviuco them of this. They are tho only sure re liance for the preservation of our lib erty." Such wero Demooratio principles seventy years before tho present lie publicau party was organized and fbrmulatod a platform. They are the principles of the Democratic party to day, and that party is peculiarly tho party of the people, whoso principles aim to mako intelligent, law-abiding citizens, to whom insurrection and auarchy ar abhorrent, and lor whose government a great standing army is needless. Tho opposite doctrino is tho one derived from the Uid World, that government is an organized power, distinct from and aside from the ieo- e. Happily it has never yet gained footing on American soil, though persistently advooalod since tho Con stitution became' subject to two inter prelations. Alter tho recent war it was believed by. many that a strong central Gov ernment, whose strength should con sist in its absorption of the powers of the Slates, would bo necessary to E reserve, protect and defend lho Tnion which had been put in such jeopardy; but twelve years of experi menting in that line on tho southern States were an excellent schooling and clarification of tho public mind on tho subject, and now this rocent wide-spread trouble springs up to impress tho sonnd and safe doctrino of local self goveanment in an entire ly neW way. It teaches us as distinctly as any thing can that it is of the first neces sity to perfect and strengthen our machinery of self protection iu every town, city and county; that we keep the weapons of defence in our own hands, that can employ them with the most discretion and effect: that it is local forces, and not Federal, that are needed to preserve the pcaoe aud suppress disorder, that no possible danger that can befall us from hold ing this view is equal to what may at any time threaten from a power which is beyond our instant control. More than all, tho sense of responsi bility that gives weight and worth to citixenship is fully retained by the doctrino of local self-protection. Take that away, and teach the peo ple to lean on a power outsidejof them selves for support and one of the most villi elements of citizenship is cone. Th Tvnet rests its reasons on the theory that connecting lines of railway which traverse several Stales practically give the railroad system a National character, to bo protected by a Federal force. It might with equal reason push on to the conclusion that the General Government has a right to seize these roads as soon as they become "National" and op erate them in ils own interest. We hold that they who advocate a strong government, that shall rest on mili tary force, have yet the alphabet of true republic tnism to learn; they are by instinct distrustful nf - and eager to sec them not indeud to govern selves. We concur wit 1'oiU in the conclusion that no event iu our day has more conclusively demonstrated the necessity of local sell-goycrnment, with the military el ement included, thsn these riots which have been suppressed by local au thority. s-SB--a.-sail m m S i.-l -. Taniihing Delations. From the fi T. Examiner. Occasionally an article appears in the editorial columns of the New York Tribune thst contains a world of suggestiveness, the more so on ac count of its appearance in the nsptr "founded by Horace Greeley, and because of the peculiar revenges lime is bringing about.' Treating of 'Uastian Delusions" the Mw xora Journal says: "Hut rations, like sin ners, must work out their salvation with fear and trembling. Have we not learned in America thst it is one ibing to give a slave bis liberty and another thing to make him an in telligent and industrious citizen? Kussis attempted far more than we Lave done. She not only liberated tie Serfs and endowed theis with the rights of citizenship in tlio communes, but put them in the way of beooming landed proprietors. No nation ever made so gigsntio an experiment in social and political science. Freo la bor has lod to the most .coaiplicatcd agrarian probloms, and tho result has fallen short of popular expeotation. Tho Serfs have not been transformed iuto sober and thrifty farmers. The effort to oreate a third estate of intel ligence has not been successful. Many of the landed proprietors have been ruined, and tow ot tho peasants havo conducted, their farms profitably. The economic and political results' of manumission have disappointed both tho educated class, and lho mass of tho population. So impartial a writer as Mr. Wallaco describes the great ma jority of educated Russians as Buffer ing to-day from shattorod illusions. lho expectations which they enter tained at tho beginning of lho transi tion period have not boon realized. Thoy have not escaped tho harsh ac tion ot economic laws by which the working class of other nations aro weighed down." Commenting on this paragraph tho Augusta (Ga.,T Const it utionalint says: If this is true of linssian Surfs, who are of lho same blood and raco ns their former masters; how much moro true is it of tho freedom of the South, whoso Bolo claim to what civilization or rjligion they possess comes from contact with the superior raoe, and notably in consequence of slavery. The people of lho North, by violent ly interfering with the laws ot Uod and man, have precipitated themselves into commercial bankruptcy political corruption, and social anarchy. In lho case of Russia, tho experiment was commondablo, becai.so it was monBtrous apparently that slavory should exist among tho pcoplo of the samo raco and blood, and nothing of tho kind could have survived as long as it did except under an iron despot ism. Hut even in this natural eman cipation tho mistake was made of too great precipitation. In the united Stales, however, tho case was totally different. Above all, the New Eng land Abolitionists knew well enough what had happunod in tho West In dia oolonios ot Great Britain and France. But Sumner and his fellow crusaders determined to carry out their holby at any cost Of blood, treasure and tears, and tho result is before the world. In the long run tho South will be benefitted; but the North can novcr more be what she was before the war. The centres of population and wealth will shift, just as tho centre of political power has already gravitated away from the East. It may bo added that the ccntro oi slavery has shifled from the South to the North, from the black man to tho while tramp. It gives us much pain to make theso deductions from a paper founded by Mr. Gree ley, but the truth ot history must and shall be preserved. hi astounding DiirowT. sssxxsx ,j . , Gov. Hampton went away from Washington Oily, without being able to secure auy Goveimxent arms for his Slato milit:a. The critics who cried out at Hamptou's coming bore to secure arms for what they pleased to call tho White League, will have to chango their tono. Whou Hamp ton made application it was thought that his Slato was entitled to a largo number of arms. The militia com panies in his Slato are not able to arm themselves; hence the application On examination at the War Depart ment tho astounding discovery was made that South Carolina has already rcceivud an advance of all anus to which it is entitled for forty years to come. It was also discovered that this extraordinary issue of arms came through Don Cameron, who, at tho in stance of Honest John Patterson, ran this load o "" ...-.v.. weie crying out loudly at tho dangers arising from tho prcsenco of tho White Leag uers in South Carolina. This when the negroes had twenty stand of arms id one for the whiles, liesido this great issue of arms, it will be remem bered that a large boiiy oi iroops was ordered into South Carolina. Everything was done that could be done here lo precipitate a color line fight, but tho patience and coolness of Gov.' Hampton and his peopio irus trated this well-laid plan. Gov. Hampton goes back without arms for his Slato, but he is satisfied wfch the reason, as it will help him explain to the public the extreme means adopt ed last fall by the Administration people toward the South. While Dr. Mary Walker was lect uring in one of the rural towns lately, it is said a youth cried out, "Are you the Msry that had a little iamb?" "No," was the sharp riply.but your mother bad a little jackass. A " strong central government prodnres such ruler, as Belknap, Ias" Shepherd, Babcock and Ba- dcau. ' The Tramp Printer's Story. . It was in tho palmy days ot the art typographical, when, ono cvoning, in tho com p. room of the paper, Pitts burg, tho famous "Ouo-Eyed Jorsoy" arose from his scat ou tho lower rail of the framo on which ho was subbing for tho night, and observed in roply to a remark dropped by one of tho boys: "Yes, you bet, us tramps seo some queer adveuturos.

I bounded across tho lawn, up to tho door, aud gavo tho bell a pall, which brought a neat Irish servant ffirl to the door. I inquired for tho udy of tho house, whou tho girl respectfully invited mo to go iu until bIio called tho madamc. In view ot my dilapidated appcaranco I declined tho unexpected honor and waited on tho threshold until the madamc, a ch'eofy, comfortablo look ing body, made her appearance I briefly stated my wants (saying noth ing of Browny) whou she exclaim ed: "Why, certainly, my poor boy; walk in r tho tablo is not yet cleared off I" and sho led mo a not uuwilling" march to an clogant dining-room, sat mo down to tho woll loaded table, poured me out a huge cup ot ooffoe, aud bid me to out hearty. I noodod no further encouragement so to do, and tho kind lady took her sewing aud sat down by tho fire pluuo and talked of how hard it was to bo away from borne aud out of work. But I was not so busily engaged in outing that I failed to notice a pretty child, a little girl of some six summers, who was alternately building block houses' and listening to her mother.

Coming up to my ohair, ao mod est and bashful like, she timidly placed a new silver quarter bc-Bide my plate, and without saying t word ran and buried her face iu her mother's lap.
