Tlie achievements ol the -Republican
party, since I" organization, are.ot emire.
waiters or history ; but many, in the buzz
ami hum ol business life, forget important
imint to which their attention should be
frequently called.
The Homestead law, which has given
homes out ot tlie public dmain to what
the rebel leader In Congress were pleaded
to oil "landless mud-sills' but proved to
be the patriot on w hom to depend In the
hour ot our country eed. was cre,lo
of the Republican party. The blessings it
has confeired are cotiutless and tlie wis
dom of the measure is now acknowledged
on all hands, save by uiirepentent ex
slaveholders who still haw a hope or tlie
vemnient assuming the Confederate
debt, and returning tlieir lornier human
chatties, or tlieir supposed value in
money. The Homestead law alone is suffi
eent to endear the republican party to
the people of all civilized nations.
Tlie moderate and humane manner in
which the late war to preserve the Union
was prosecuted, and the liberal terms on
which a rebellious peeple were restored
o citizenship. grew 0,rt 01 the snIerior
intelligence of tlie masses which form tlie
motive power ol the party, and has no
prece-lent in the history ot the world.
Christian nations, when iimHiian a foreign
country, blow their captives from the
mouths of cannons, bnt tlie Republican
party took them by tlie hand, thusad
vancing the cause ot genuine civ uicuiuu
-several centuries in as many years.
The credit of the Government has been
handled in a manner which astonishes all
great financiers of other countries. Con
federate bonds were, for a time, more val
uable in foreign markets than our own.
but, the superior management of public
affairs by tlie Republican party have
pliced our bowls above par and left the
four thousand millions of dollars ot Con
federate scrip as worthless as wrapping
paper. All this ha been accomplished by
the wisdom ol the Republican party.
The rapid development ot tbe country
under the rule ot this party is a matter of
astocishment to all observers, and is the
great feature of evidence of success. The
broad land is dotted with school bouses
ami manufactories competing wish any in
the old world, this result grow ing out of
the liberal seliool system which 4ms been
I laoT.rated and maintained 1y tbe Re
publican party.
"Tlw thousands of blessings conferred
up in tlie nation aud humanity generally,
by this party of progress are written in
hundreds of volumes and will be trans
mitted to his posterity by every lover ol
his country and good government. j
Tlie simple success of the party in tlie
late Presidential election should not in
duce a single thiitkiuy man to c-ilmly fit
down as it' tlie w hole work was accom
plislied. A vast field ol labor lies before
us and ire'OM should lie the wateli
word. in -ill matters or edm-ition and phil
osophy, which w ill unite the party and
add iitiiiusnlred blessings to humanity in
future. Come ixiUlly to the (rout and sur
render not one tytbe of tlie vantage
ground, but let us continue, as a party, in
the t;iu of progress.
The late Judge G rover ventures tore
turn on a visit to Oregon, having the ef
frontery to meet the people lie attempted
to outrage by disfranchUingtliem. through
tlie Crouin fraud. Iid the Judge receive

Journalists occupy a salient position in
society, says the Newspaper Reporter.
Xot many classes aw more powerful for
goo. or evil than they. To a considerable
extent they are regulators or morals as
well as directors of intellectual force, for
these are days when to be unable to read
Is a reproach, aid when all who read pe
ruse the newspapers. That the number
what they read is scant, will not be de
nied. Few cultivate the art of analysis.
A vast majority accept withou: debate
what is sewed up to them in the newspa
pers and pin their taitii to the dictation of
their favorite editors. The only discrimi
nation they feel called upon to make Is be
tween writers whose tenets accord with
the'r own general ideas or what is right
and what wrong, and those whose views
are at variance with them. Having select
ed the men wiio will satisfactorily eater
to their tastes, forthwith they, w ith child
ish simplicity beautiful to contemplate.
relegate to them tlie labor of thought, and
accept their dt Auctions with about as
much diffidence as our next door neigh
bor's little ten-year-old dues the pap its
mamma nnrncrcihiHy ladles into it toclieck
its display of an inordinate prediction for
a right rova! yell.
It is a lazy nietliod, this pondering by
proxy, and one much to be dejireeated,be
catise it betrays a will to shirk duty in
those having recourse thereto, and leaves
the judging power of the mind undevelop
ed through want of discipline and exercise.
But it is a reality, and a reality not to met
ami mrtwtfd bv regrets. Like a incase
which care or rectitude would liave guard
ed the affleted fronn it must be cured not
by upbraiding the patient for tolly, but by
the application ot remedial measures.
"ow, to convert tlwbulk of readers into
painstaking students, is a work not to be
aceompllslied iu a day. Indeed, it would
be optimistic to indulge the hope tliat eveu
in the remote future most meu may be in
ducted into the philosophic groove. The
tendency ot human nature is towards play
rather tliau work. Ami thinking in ear
nest is work of a very laborious character,
even to those who have special aptitude
for it.
It this be true, it follows tliat some men
iu all time will have to act as the genera
tors of intellectual motive power to the
many. At present journalists seem to oc
cupy this responsible and onerous position,
and it is therefore that so much depends
upon tlie attitude they assume. In the
main, as they speak so do men believe.
Nothing can be plainer, tlten, that wri
ters for the press should not discuss flip
pantly subjects of moment, or than tliat
they should be circumspect and honest
when giving counsel. For them to speak
in print disingenonsly, or in advocacy of
principles at variance with correct moral
ity, is to be guilty of offense far deeper
than any attributable to the man in ordi
nary walks, or even to the publicist, who
mav enunciate the same teachings. To
counteract the disadvantages of the read
ing public's antipathy to thought, the best
plan ts to iusist upon good teachers by
discountenancing bad editors.
MIAUL T1IKY HKPIIMATET

From out of the war, says tlw San
Francisco Argcnaut, and out of tlie po
litical dissensions that liavc followed.
mauy of the Soutliern State have brought
such accumulated millions of debt that
payment is impossible. Repudiation Is an
unpleasant Idea. It Is criminal if volun
tary ; but if it conies as a necessity, and is
unavoidable, then It is the only practica
ble and honest course out of financial
trouble. A nieettng.eompopd ol cminei.t
bankers, solid men ami Jsouthcrn bond
holders, was held at the Clearing House, in
New York, in January last, to consider
the tinmclid condition of the South. A
committee was appointed from which we
shall expect an exhaustive report, accom
panied by reliable figures, and some, prac
ticable suggestions to remedy the exist
ing evil. Tlie condition of several of the
States is simple bankruptcy, their bonds
being quoted at the Stock Exchange at
teu cents on the dollar. The Legislatures
of the Southern States levy taxes, and
make every honest endeavor for their col
lection ; but the people are so much im
poverished that it is Impossible to pay
them. Tax sales are held at wliteli tnere
arc no bidders springing from the desire
of the citizens having money to be fore
beaihig toward tlieir poorer neighbors.
Thus taxes accumulate, and remain un
collected from year to year. Interest upon
bonds fall in arrears, securities decline in
value, real property cannot be sold under
tlie accumulated liabilities, and every in
terest ot society leels tlie cmbarri-smcttt
ami paralysis or this disturbed and uncer
tain condition of a flairs.
When citizens become insolvent the
general bankrupt law authorise them to
cede their property to their creditors, and
allows them to begin business sgVu. with
a clean slate. We know ot no reason in
mnraU and no argument whv State-
hould not when Insolvent follow the same j
course. 10 stagger aiong uuuer hu un
paid debt, allowing obligations, to accumu
late, is demoralizing to a community. It
takes away every Incentive to exertion,
retards the material progress of tlie State,
and is not only a bar to immigration, Ian
acts as an incentive for its yeung and en.
ergctic people to emigrate beyond tbe de
pressing influence or accumulating and
unpaid taxes. It seems to ns it would be
a wise tiling tor Soutliern States in an in
solvent condition to make one supreme
effort, and pay sueb a percentage oin
their debts as fhey are able; theu boldly
declare their inability to pay tlie remain
der, and openly repudiate past obligations.
W hen tins Is one done, let honesty and
economy characterize Municipal and State
administrations. Let tlie people be re
lieved from burdensome taxhtion, ai d
when 'prosperity and wealth agaiu over
take them, as they certiiniy will, these
States may be relied upon to make some
generous off. r to couipoui
creditor.
