THE PARTY OFTIIi: FUTURE.
Columbus, November 15. A special
meeting of Democrats and Liberal Re
publicans of Ohio was held to day.
The Liberal:?, about forty in number,
met separately, and adopting resolu
tions declaring in their opinion it was
desirable that the consolidation of all
elements favoring the loading princi
ples enunciated by the Cincinnati
platform should be effected, and that
until such consolidation is effected the
Liberal organization should bo main
tained; that the next Liberal Sut
Convention should dfclire squarely
in favor of a tariff for revenue only. j
and invite all persons without icgard
to former political associations io unite
with them; recommending that after
the next State Convention the name
Liberal Republican as a party name
should be dropped, and that of the
Liberal Party be adopted ; asking all
organizations which have thus far co
operated with the Liberal Republicans
to abandon old party names with a
view to perfect a union under the name
of Liberals ; that as a party they are
opposed to all special legislation or
special privileges, believing that the
equal rights of all should lo the guiding
principles in all the ramiGcations of
governmental affairs
The Democratic and Liberal repub-.
lican State Central Committees togeth
cr with a large number of other
representatives of the two organizations
from, various parts of the State, held a
consultation this afternoon, pursuant
to ,a call issued on the Gth of this
month- A committee has been ap
pointed by tlu? Democratic and Liberal
Republican Stato Executive Commit
tees to prepare an address to the
Democrats and Liberals of Ohio for
for consideration and adoption by this
meeting. This committee consisted of
Senator Thurman, Gen. Thomas Kwing
Gen. Rriukerhoff and John M Dash
Icr.
Senator Thurman. on behalf of the
committee prepared an address to the
meeting. It was considered and unan
imously adopted as follows :
To the Democrats and. Liberal Re
publicans of Ohio : The Presidential
election is over, and Gen. Grant is
re-clecteu. It is not our purpose at
this time to speak of the causes of
this result. It is the future that dc-
A M 1
manna your attention, ana a recur
rence to the past is useful only to as
certain the facts and lessons it teaches
A vast majority of the Democratic
party, perhaps nine-five per cent
voted for Greeley. A lame number ol h
citizens here of the Republican organ
ization also voted for him. Tho aggre
gate of their votes, as near as wo can
estimate, exceed three millions and a
quarter. The nominal popular majority
of Grant is something over half a mil
lion, on a vote of nearly .or quite seven
millions, a majority of about seven per
cent. This is the result as nearly as
we are able, in the absence of official
returns losiaiu it, um mis vutu uwa
ular majority would be very small, if
not represent with exactness tho senti
ment of the country. It it is evident
that a large body of electors stayed
away from the polls. Nearly every
one of these men is an opponent of
the administration, and if they had
seen fit to cast their votes Grant's pop
indeed it would exist at all.
The prominent features of the elec
tion may be briefly Btatcd. Ninety
five per cent, of the Democrats voted
for Greeley. Of the remaining five
per cent., a comparatively small num
ber voted for Grant- The greater part
of them did not vote at all. Of the
Liberal Republicans who joined this
party of reform a large majority stood
fast, while others, despairing of success
went back to their old associations or
stayed at home. Now leaving out of
view the venal men who from corrupt
motives oVserted their case and voted
for Grant, and cannot be relied by any
party that uses none but honorable
means to further its success, it may be
safely affirmed that the great body of
the electors who stayed away from the
polls are now as they have been in time
past, opposed to the dominant Radical
party. It is true that they did not by
their votes manifest their opposition in
the late election.
Rut let us not roughly cast censure
upon them if they could not overcome
their old feeling and prcdjudices so as
to vote for a life long oppoucnt We
may deplore the facts, but we should
not be so unjust as to place them in the
ranks of our enemies. We have an
abidiug faith that, with time and reflec
tion, they will be found as heretofore
actively on our side. The Radical
camp is no camp for them, nor is it part of
wisdom to draw a party tomahawk
upon the Democrats or Liberal Repub
licans who, from conscientious but mis
eken motives, saw fit to vote fur Grant
The circumstances were novel and pe
culiar, such as had never before been
seen, and men of tho best intentions
were liable to rr. Condemn as strongly
as you will base men who sold their
votes, but be chirituhta to your old
friends, who, . uih.Lt circ instance. of
dilTiculty and embarrassment differed

rom you in opinion, instead (tt re-ii-

polling, strive to win mem nacK, rree
ind ,'i endt nt thought is of the very cs-
siTiee of nomocracy nd truo Republi
canism. It created the Democratic
oartv in the beinins. It his miin-
taincd it ever since. It jrave rise to i
the Liberal Republican clement of to-1
Jay. and to it we must look for access
ion in the future.
What is indeed, then, is not cnmi-
natiou and recrimination, but the oppo
site. Ihreer.nda quarter millions ot
electors have protested by their votes
against Radical misru e. under winch
the couutry has suffered and which
threatens to overthrow the very foun
dation of free government. The rea
son for their protest are as potent to
day as they were when they cast their
votes. Iy every consideration ol
consistency ami just principle these
men aro bound to continue to act
together
The necessity for reform
is likely to increase instaad of
t i rfvi 1 . P 1
uiminisn. i lie advocates or centrali
zation are likely to become more
audations than ever in their attacks
upon local self government. Exac
tions of combined wealth and the cor
rupt use of money in elections are
likely to become established usages
if not rebuked. It is no time, there
fore, for any lover of free institutions,
of purity in elections and government,
and equal laTvs, to relax his efforts;
nor is it intelligent or wise, or manly
to dispair of success. No reform
party even gained the first battle.
Consolidated abuses can only be ovcr
thown by repeated assaults. Monoply
and corruption ever die hard, but in
the end they do die, when a free virtu
ous people will their destruction. We
say, then, to every friend of roform :
" Re of good cheer." Ohio is, we bo
lieve, the only State in which the rad
ical majority of 18G8 has been reduced
A few more struggles and it will cease
te exist.
The act regulating the sale of intox
icating liquors, recently ,j passed after
very long and labored discussion in
Parliament, is remarkable as being the
first legislative result of the temper
ance agitation in England. It is very
temperately, and, compared with some
of our American enactments, conserva
tively, framed, and is reported to work
well. Its chief provisions are a system
ol inspection, wnicii aims to detect ana
. .. . i. . i
pumh the adulteration of liquors, or
the sale of poisonous compounds., under
tho name of liquor; the pun.shmcnt of
aggravated or habitual drunkenness by
imprisonment; the closing of all
tippling houses at 11 o'clock at night,
on the theory that most of the
drinking and riotous carousing that
lead to crime occur after that hour ;
requiring beer saloons as well as liquor
shops to apply to the magistrates for
a license, and to come under severe
penalties for admitting drunkenness,
gaming, or disorderly or dishonest
characters; the intent of the latter
being to suppress all disorderly houses.
In the discussion total prohibition
has few advocates. A considerable
party were in favor of remitting the
entire question to the rate-payers of
each parish, with power to regulate,
license, or prohibit as they should see
proper. A few favored tho Swedish
plan of having the liquor manufactured
and sold by the Government by its
salaried officers, who are prohibited
from having any interest in the sale,
and prohibiting all trade in liquor by
private parties. Others were content
to enlarge tho power of the magistrates
to suppress disorderly houses and
punish drunkenness I
The English legislation differs from
the American in regarding the drunk
ard as responsible for his drunkenness,
while most of the American laws regard
tho drunkard as a sort of irresponsible
and pitiable imbecile, and the seller 'of
the liquor responsible for his drunken
ness, and even for the crime he may
commit while in that state. The
extreme realization of this principle is
in the Ohio and Illinois law. which
holds the real estate which may be
rntcjd to l' c saloon kect en whi sell
the liquor which causes the drunkenness
which gives rise to a crime responsible
to the person injured by the crime, or
his personal representatives, in damages
The logic of intoxication seems not yet
to have penetrated the Knglish mind
to anything like this extent. Perhaps
it will in time. It is a comfort to
know, however, that the KnglUh law
was actually and immediately enforced,
and that its enforcement was attended
everywhere by a marked decrease of
crime. Chicago Trilune.

BREACH OF PROMISE CAME Til Ii
KAPTUH12S OF ClJI'ID.
From the BuAThio Alvotrior.
Myers vs. Hakims. This was one
of those rare and peculiar cases breach
ot promise of marriage and occupied
the greater part of tho forenoon
From the evidence it appears that the
parties both live in or near Onondaga,
New York ; that Harris had been a
frequent visitor for about two years and
aTialf at the house of tho plaintiff a
widow woman about thirty years of oge
with three children. It seems to have
been the opinion of the friends of the
plaintiff (and no doubt she though so
herself,) that Harris would marry her;
but he (llarri) from some unaccount
able cause, a few months ago suddenly
discovered that he loved another young
lady better, and verified this belief
a short time since by marrying that
other lady. Hence this action was
brought by the plaintiff to recover
damages to apply as a salve to her
wounded affections. The following
tender epistle sent by the loving swain
is reccommended asa model letter :
My dear Mrs. M. Every time I
think of you my heart Hops up and
down like a churu dasher. Sensations

glory. Visions of ecstatic rapture
thicker than the hairs on a blacking
brushy' and brighter than the hues of a
humming birds pinions, visit me in my
slumbers, and borne on their invisable
wings, your image stands before me,
and I reach out to grasp it like a point-,
cr snapping at a blue bottle fly. When
I first beheld your angelic perfections
I was bewildered and my brain whirled
around like a bumble bee under a glass
tumbler. My. eyes stood open like
cellar doors in a country town, and
I lifted up my ears to catch the silvery
accents of your voice. My tongue,
refused to wag, and in silent adoration
I drank in the sweet infection of love
as a thirsty man swalloweth a tumbler
of hot whisky punch.
Since the light of your face fell upon
my life, I sometimes feci as I could
lift myself up by my boot straps to
the top of the church steeple and pull
the bell rope for singing school. Day
and uight you are in my thoughts.
When Aurora, blushing like a bride,
raises from her caffron colored crouch ;
when the jay birds pipes his tuneful
lay in the apple tree by thespringhouse;
when the chanticleer's shrill clarion
heralds the coming mornjwben the awak
ening pi; ariseth from his bed and
gruu'eth and goelh for morning refresh
ments ; when the drowsy beetle wheels
to droning flight at sultry noon tide; and
wheu the lowing herds come home at
milkng time. I think of thee; and like a
piece of gum cslastic, my heart seems
stretched clear across my bosom. Your
hair is like tho mane of my sorrel
horse, powdered with gold ; and the
brass pins skewered tli rough your wa
terfrll fill me with unbounded awe.
Yours forehead is smoother than the
elbow of an old coat. Your eyes are
glorious to behold. In their liquid
depths I see legions of little cupids
bathing, like a cohort of ants in an old
army cracker. Their fire hit when roc
upon my manly breast it penetrated my
whole anatomv, as a load of bird shot
through a rotten apple. Your nose is
from a chunk of Parian marble, and
your mouth is puckered with sweetness
Nectar lingers on your lips, like honey
on a bear's paw ; and myriads of un
fledged kisses are there, ready to fly
out somewhere, like blue birds out of
their parent's nest. Your laugh rings
in my cars like windharp's strain or
the bleat of a stray lamb on a bleak
hill side. The dimples on your cheeks
are like bowers in beds of roses, or
hollows in cakes of home sugar.
1 am dying to fly to thy presence
and pour out the burning eloquence of
my love, as thrifty housewives jour
out hot coffee. Away from you I am
melancholy as a sick rat.
Sometimes I can hear the June
bugs of despondency buzzing in my
ears, and feel the cold liziard of de
spair crawling down my back. Uhcouth
fears like a thousand minnows, nimble
at my spirits ; and my soul is pierced
with doubts, as an old cheese is bored
with skippers.
My love for you is stronger than
the. smell of Coffey's patent butter or
the kick of a young ccw, and more un
selfish than a kitten s first caterwaul.
As a song bird hankers for the light of
day, the cautious mouse for the fresh
bacon in the trap, as a mean pup ban
kers after new milk, so I long for thee.
You are fairer than a speckled pullet
sweeter than a Yankee doughunt fried
in sorghum molasses, brighter than
a topnot plumage on the head of a
museovy duck. 1 ou arc candy, kisses,
rasins, pound cake au sweetened toddy
altogether :
If these few remarks will enable you
to sec tho inside of my soul, and me
to win your affections, I would be as
happy as a woodpecker on a cheery
tree, or a stage horse in a green pasture.
If you cannot reciprocate my thrilling
passion, 1 will puic away like a poisoned
bedbug aud full away from a flourishing
vine of l:fe, an untimely branch : and in
the coming years, when the shadows
grow from the hills, and the philosoph-
icai irog sings nis cuccrlul evening
hymns, you, happy in another's love
can come and drop a tear and catch a
cold upon the last resting place of
" Yours cflcctionatcly,
