In South America—the laud
most favorable to the growth of
violent revolutions, they have, or
pretend to have a great love of pat
riotism. There are no people ex
isting elsewhere, that can surpass
them in the brutal pastime of cut
ting each others throats and howl
ing pro p o/ria at the same time.
In following this or that general,
they adopt his peculiar colors, and
adorn themselves with the ribl>on
corresponding, with all the sim
plicity of babies, which, of itself
would be inoffensive, were it not
combined with the most blood
thirsty disposition extant. This is
one of the peculiar phases of Chris
tian civilization, as, we must re
member that they nro eminently, a
Christian people, notwithstanding
the fact that, their patriotic sym
bol is a piece of ribbon, upon the
high altar of which they would
sacrifice the souls and bodies of
their near relations. This is a true
picture, by an eye witness—our
selves. They may be ignorant in
many ways, but their supreme de
votion to the religion of Christ, and
their, almost, total subjection to
the priests, cannot lie questioned,
and woe to the wretch that would
attempt to live among them and
offer doubts as to the consistency
of either their religious or patriot
ic principles.
In watching the course of the
elections here, we have become
impressed with the conviction that,
while we lack the bloodshed and
oft recurring revolution, we are, in
other ways decidedly similar to the
South Americans. They are led
like wolves to the slaughter, with
nothing more glorious as the re
sult than the success of some
ambitious soldier, but we who claim,
and have as a fact, a higher state
of civdization, and greater facili
ties for educating the masses, bil
low in the lead of this or that dem-
agogue, just as blindly, and with
but a slight regard to existing evils

And what does he do with us?
Does he appeal to our intelligence?
Quite the reverse. He appeals to
nothing higher than our ignorance
and predjudice. "We may receive

It is about time that the American
citizen should think a little more
about the condition of affairs in this
government. The facilities for ar
riving at the facts in regard to the
various raids on the U. S. treas

as easily obtainable by one citizen
as another. Let us look into such
matters and consider them fairly,
then we will be as well up in the
financial affairs of the government
as the best stump-orator in the
country. There is but little pride
of citizenship or the spirit of intel

The New York Sun is edited by
a political fence-jumper, who is
suffering the tortures of a righte
ous agony, owing to the fact that a
murderer was hung in Buffalo, on
one occasion when Grover Cleve
land wns sheriff.
Certainly, this
was a high-handed outrage—an in
terference with the civil and relig
ious liberty of the Buffalo murder
er, and totally at variance with the
doctrine laid down by the Ameri
can Fathers, in that admirable
Declaration
of
Independence,
wherein it is set forth that, we have
the right to life—and according to
the principle advanced by Charles
A. Dana, to take life—liberty and
the pursuit of happiness.
The
courts found the murderer guilty
and compelled the sheriff to hang
him, but now, at this late day, up
rises Dana, who informs us that
Cleveland had no right to interfere
with this murderer in his pursuit
of happiness. How strongly we
become impressed with the despot
ic tendencies of Cleveland; with
what lightning rapidity are onr
sympathies aroused for this un
fortunate Buffalo murderer, cut oft’
in the prime of manhood and the
gala day of his usefulness; yet all
this sinks, unfathomablv, in ob
scurity when contrasted with the
effulgent light of our admiration
for Ciiarles A. Dana, editor of the
New York Sun, the njxistleof a new
reform movement. Confined to a
position with one leg on each side
of the fence, we behold this high-
toned^?) journalist, a republican
to-day, a democrat to-morrow, and
a non-entity in tbe political scale
during the time of national con
ventions. Here it is where we dis
cover the animus for all the varied
vituperation, outpourings
and
heartliburnings of the debased po
litical -scribe.
AVe believe that
there are, now, before the people,
seven candidates for the presiden
cy. It will be in order to enroll
all the thieves, murderers, ct id
genus onmc, and nominate another,
ami it is also in order that Charles
A. Dana is the man most pre-emi
nently fitted, by reason of his per
sistent efforts in their behalf, as
illustrated by bis continued denun
ciation of the hanging of a mur
derer, to receive the nomination,
and to lead them, if it were possi
ble, to a glorious regeneration.
