That is tb expression cf uneasy agl .tators who have bet6 Intensely aroused by Uie exertemect of the last decade, aixt are dulled Tat to political matters because there is no longer slavery to was against or, armed rebels in the field to be. overcome. Tbis erylt also repeated by those political partita who dream of perfection in the adaiiniatra tlo of tbe government and fancy that Grant does, not realise the imasaoalate ideal of their imagining, and shadder wben tbe weakeets of human nature is sbowD by tbe official anfaithfuloets of tome tubordinate. Bat perfection ex ists iu no baman imagination and dit faoaest men betray coafiience and trust of their principals aa well ae of tbe public, and torse stand reaaouera forget that crime always iucreases with opportunity; andibat this is, icr a ' re markable, aenae iba age of opportu nity, .if- - . We shall never be guilty of tbe folly of insisting that our opponents are en tirely base. Wbile bumaa frailty ex ists political parties will' be" the most readr snrrecta of itsdtsplay; 'Thepur estataiivee may actuate the politi cian who is greedy far ofaae, or make him honest wbea boi obtaiae it. Tba mxx'm that all thing are fair in poli tics predominates ' too largely in all parties,, bnt the underlying principles are not to be judged and condemned for tbe faults of any section- or iodi Tidual. Tbry are to be judged by re sults and measured in tbe tWe of the world's latest progress. We look upon tbe Republican party as .the repreieotatiTa of a truer free dom than the warld baa ever known before, and to long aa it maintains pe tition at such ao4 reetains tbe distinct Toica of tbe people it will be invincible in every great national contest and coc . tinne to swsy the tlestioiei of tbe Ile pablie. " " t : " -- "We bate confidence fn Gen.

Tbe greatest wonder Is that to little is to be aaid against U, and as tbe rnla w.ill always prevail that ."handsome ia that handsome does," we can confidently commit the fortunes of tbe administra tion to the minds of a competent and reflecting people. Tbe mission of tbe Kepublican par ty is not ended and cannot be until the wounds of the lata war ara all htaled and tbe decision of tbe people rendered agaiost rebellion is fully completed by reconstruction made snre and certain as already enacted. It is not humanly possible for tbe Democratic- party to appreciate tbe popular will much Iras to execute it. A fatuity attends it that Impels it to constant self destruction, end we Have only to purge tbe, Repub lican party of every false outgrowth and vicious shoot that seeks to sap il'i life, to continue its rule and perpetn ate its honors and success. Tbts is to be said for Grant, that be baa thor ongbly appreciated its mission aud fmbUUy atood by tbe Republican faith. Cramoa of Comfort- As tbe Democracy la energetically in search of comfort now-adys, we commend our fellow ciliiens of that persuasion to attentively pernte tbe latest election news and they may find an antidote for tbe latt weak Demo cratic success in New Hampshire Connecticut is one of tbe States Dem ocraey counts npon in any close strug gle, and now wben Grant's administra tion is. so unpopular, and tbe Repob Iican 1 arty it said to be at such a di count certainly Democracy baa swept it. No, such is not the case. Con necticut has a jewel Democracy cannot purchase or . overwhelm, and though the result . baa Been close we bear everywhere f Hepalieaa gains Perhaps, after all, there Is a little mis take about pf aot beiag napepalar and Republican principlea played out. We are inclined "HQtbink there Hs, and after all the Democracy did not carry New Hampshire,' tbey! were only auf terel to take a jadgment by default, , and that wilt aol soon happen sgain.

Mr. Frr.est, who keeps a wood yard 00 the river below town came up on the steamer Albany and reports that be alely found a trunk on the bank of the river which btd been broken open and robbed. A lot of old clothes lay near it and tbe wearer teemed to have rehabilitated himself from the ravished trunk. The tbeivet left tome books, iu which were writ ten the name of J. K.

Tbis list item It what I allude to at being unequal, end working a great bardabip oa ell of the smaller clast of money or der offices : for tbe simple and very ap parent reason tbat. at thit clan of offi ces, nearly all of the compensation it derived from tbe free, on the issue of orders, is tbrre am but very few orders pre.-riited for payment at small otticra while at larger offices it it genera!! tbe reverie : there beiog a very great prepoodereoce of orders issned over orders paid. Subjecting tbe postmas ter to a great deal more work and much less pay, as be bas to deposit evr.y day, or (some offices every week at lar thest, tbe excess of catb on baodt al tome larger offices designated in a reg istered package, giving in detail an ac curate description of the money there io; tbat is, ibe date, cyphers and all of the particulars of each note.

Now, all tbit work hat to he done without pay wberena, if paid out of oid-rs preetnted, would increase the pay, on an averar, of about 100 per cent. Tbe system at it now in, it tak ing away that amount fiom small offi ees ana aaamg to tne large ones ; bicb is, as I bate alleged, very une qual and nojust ; and should be so changed aa to allow the eame per cent- age on deposits made at on orders, paid.

Tha Influence of tha preta it oaly great when it accords with common sense; tbe judgment of tbe masses is more apt to be right than tbe mere reasoning of tbiukera, and tbe Ameri can people bave never cared for Charles Sumner since be commenced hit ill tempered and vindicitive warfare on tbe President.

Some of tbe newspapers that are apposed to be leading Republican or gans are predicting terrible things at tbe result of Sumner's removal from be Chairmanship of the Committee on Foreign Affairs. These papers are merely making it evident to tbe world how ineffectual it tbe boasted influence tbe press, for tby cannot procure Samner's reinstatement, nor induce tbe people, wbo bave . independent minds, to grieve over bit diminished fortunes. For oursclree we bave always believed that Sumner was more fanatic than a statesman. Tba very speech that drew down Brook's cow- rdly as-ault npon bim was tea vindic tive and incendiary to ba just, and from that day nntil thit bit course haa only been justified by tbe extraordinary ircumstances of our national history.
