J, o o o o G o o O o O o fl THE EKTfHPRjSE. olEdlYflTrrOBEGflX, JAN. 2i, 171. Hie New Independent Party. San Francisco Examiner. A formulary of fixed principles perpetually discussed, upheld on one side and combat ted on the other with all the learning, ingenuity and sliill which the very ablest intellects have been' able to bring forward for three-quarters ofa century, must be so thoroughly understood and deep ly impressed that no danger may be felt of their ceasing to be agitated luid kept prominently before the public while the party, the founda tions of which they are, continues in active existance. Time, and the un ceasing energy of debate have ren dered them historical. They are as household words in the land. This is the ail vantage of an old organiza ti m over a new. The former has ac cumulated an immense capital, con sisting of a complete cycle of ideas and political ethics, which, admit ting the premises on which they rest to be correct, embrace all that is es O sential to an enlightened and consti tutional administration of the affairs o of the Commonwealth. Snc!i is the position of the Democracy. Vy op position they have been tested; and through the contentions of the past they have arrived at received truths. They are now prepared to take anoth er grand step forward. That is, to place in position honest and quali fied men, from county committee mr-n and delegates to conventions to the Chief Magistrate of the United States. It is of infinite importance that voters should be .represented at the initial movement the prima ries, in force. What a falaeity is that which assumes that this can be dot;' best by the formation of a new partv ! C in the rogues be the mmv ri-nililv u t!;inted and kept in check by this means V Story relates of a barn being re moved to avoid the refuse, when if O such accumulation of refuse had been prevented the old location would have been preferable. Shall 0 not the people, by a preconcerted movement, under cover of the 'old o organization, appear in force at e ich snivelling primary, and by their presence an I votes m ike the pn cee lings so earnest and respectable O that dishonest tricksters will be shy and harmless, as is usuallv the case O under such circumstances? This cm never be accomplished so well by a new party. it has no shibboleth by O which miracles are performed. On the contrary, during the decade it is passing tliCi'Ugh probation, and is ascertaining the principles it is to a ! voeate, the rogues will likely gain the control, ft is the refuge of such outcasts from the older and more re liable partv. The object, position, and destiny of the Independents m iv perhaps be determine 1 by a review of the situa tion. There are two elements, one of which !iin4 at all times give di rection to politics in these States. They are the conservative, which looks to the preservation of our pres ent form of ( t vei n men t according to thi intention of the great men who framed it; and the radical, which is revolutionary in its tendencies. Kv ery political faction must in the very nature of tilings endorse one of these. As to an effective party, its func tions are two: On the one side per .aining to the (lovernment, whether local or general, looking to its prop er administration, to its oflieeis and adjuncts; on the other, directing at tention to commerce and trade, local ind general, their various incidents and collaterals. Should the Inds pendents devote themselves to local trade interests, they adopt as their platform one divi-i . n of one of the two branches pertinent toa complete party. That they should continue to S do this, and prolong their existence in an age of discussion and political literature, is an absurdity. Theyin q evitably will become involved in both branches of politics, and then, by a law beyond their control, they must either gravitate to the conservative or to the radical ranks. If to the for mer, as the party which is based on that element will not change its name, they will be absorled bv the q Democracy. "What is more probable, is that the Independents will become the exponents of Iladic.il principles, and to them will cohere all those of JladiCal proclivities. Thev are not ao much a new party as the'v are lb-publicans under a new name. c This is patent, on r.-tlocting that the head and front of the late movement O ar ! men 0f life-long and pronounced K uli al sentiments, to whom anv po litical i leas, other than those einina ting from that element, are impossi ble. AP.urs in lieate theold and oft repeated strategy a change of their pirty label, and under various plans- ioie pretexts, ami an ettort to save . the control of the oluces and State ! Oovenunent. and, by deception, an I addition to their numbers.' This is likely the destiny of the Independ- ents upon the hypothesis that a i .ii',.if ikiff ,.f 1...

' ' . . .' """i.-io. 1 lie II now it is (osigne.l to continue this j organization, if such it mi;iit be ! called, making it inclusive of both j bninches of politics, and an ample veinvie through. whi -u its adherents shall be able to express their views on government, commerce and trade i the rotate and the United States, the question at once recurs: what se cret power of truth lies concealed in a simple business transaction: in the hasty alliance of a day, to answer a special end, by which a multitude, the divisions of which are the anti podes of each other in all their pre conceived ideas of a dual govern ment, shall be suddenly convinced that they can discard their manhood and stand harmoniously together up vn a platform, either conservative, or radical and worse, made half cf one and half of the ottier, a mon grel, an incongruous monster like unto a Centaur? Of course, these things cannot be. Therefore the problem pertaining to the new order, political, may be thus solved : Let each fraction or division be represented by the figure- one, subtract one and nothing remains, which is as it should be. Democrats want no lines but the old lines; no new organization or change of name. The last is excellent and very signifi cant. Its meaning is, in plain En glish, "The Free People," and by that sign they conquer. Made to "See It." " I can't see it," said Buffer. "No person reads all these little adver tisements; it is preposterous to think so." ""But," said the editor, "you read what interests vou?" "Yes." "And if there is anything which vou particularly want you look for 'it V" " Certainly." "Well, among the thousands upon thousands that help to make up this busy world of ours everything that is printed is read. Sneer as you please, nevertheless I assure you that printer's ink is the true "open sesame" to all business success. That is certain. - And still Buffer couhVnt see it. He did'nt believe that half of these little crowded advertisements were ever read . "Suppose you try the experiment, said the editor." "Just slip in an ad vertisement of the want of one of the most common things in the uni verse. For the sake of the test I will give it two insertions free. Two will be enough, and you may have it jammed away into any out-of-the-way nook of my paper you shall se lect. Two insertions of only two lines. Will you try the experi ment?" Buffer said he would try it, and he selected the phve in the paper w here lie would have it published crowd ed in under the head of "Wants." and waited and saw a proof of his advertisement which real as follows: Waxtko A (ool House Hog. Ap ply to .1. Buffer, ", Towscr street, be tween j an t 1 i m. Buffer w ent aw ay smiling and nod ding. On the following morning he opened his paper and after consM derable hunting found his adver tisement. At lirst it did not seem at all conspicuous. Certainly so insig nificant a paragraph, hurried in such a wilderness of items could not at tract attention. After a time, how ever, it began to look more noticea ble to him. The more he loked at it the plainer it grew. Finally it glared at him from the closely print ed page. But that was because he was the person particularly interest ed. Of course it would appear con spicuous to him. But it would not be so to others. That evening Mr. Buffer was just sitting down to tea (Buffer was a pi iin old-fashioned man and took tea at six) when his door-bed was ran and the servant announced that a to man was at the door with a do sell. "Tell him I don't want one." Six times was Mr. Buffer interrupt ed while taking tea, by men with dogs to sell. Buffer was a man w ho would i o lie. He had put his foot in it and he must take it out manful ly. The 2-)rd applicant was a small boy, with a girl in company who of fered for sale a ragged dirty looking pup. Butler bought the dog and immediately presented it to the girl and then sent them off. To the next applicant he was ena bled truthfully to sav, "Don't want anv more; I've bought one." The stream of callers continued until near ten o'clock, when Buffer locked up and turned off the gas. On the following evening as Buffer approached his house ho found about thirty men and boys assembled, each with a dog in tow. There were dogs of every grade, size, and color, and logs of every variety of bark, whine and growl. Buffer made them a speech and informed them that he had purchased a dog. "Then what d'yer advertise for?" And Buffer got his hat knocked fiver his eyes before he reached his home. Xever mind about the trials of that night. Buffer had no idea that there w ere so many dogs in existence. He however, through the aid of the po lice, got safe through the night. Next morning he visited his frieud, the editor, and acknowledged the corn. The advertisement of "wanted" was taken out, and in the most conspicu ous place, and in glaring type he advertised that he didn't want any more dogs. And for this advertise ment he paid. Then he went home and pasted upon his door: "Gone into the country." Then he hired a special policeman to guard his prop erty; and then he locked up and went away with his family. From that day Josepns Buffer has never been heard to express doubts as to the efficiency of printer's ink; nor has he asked", " Who reads the advertisements in a paper?" The Supreme Court of the United States has just decided another of the Utah cases,, the question being whether, in the Territorv of Utah, the United States Attorney for the IVnitory or the Attorney-General of t ie Territory elected under the Ter ritorial Legislature, is entitled to prosecute persons accused of offenses against the laws of the Territorv. the court decided, Justice Hunt de livering the opinion, that under the piacuee winch too 1rmr i tit- ooiu in I. hi h nn.l -n ... . , , . , .
