2 fo gJaUg tovam. ASTORIA, OKEGO: SUNDAY MAY4. 16M DEMAGOGUES. They are generally a singular coir position of selfisbncsb, self-conceit, and self-delusion. There are silly demagogues and wicked demagogues, but they are all self-infatuated, self- j contained, and self-seeking. They: simply nee the people as stepping stones to power, as some so-called religious persons rise Christ as a con venient.'way to heaven, to be adopted when all the joys of earth have been exhausted. If the multitudes, when they are lauded, extolled and fon dled, are deceived, they need not be surprised; for though it is an ungrate ful thing to say, it is true, that they are being led by designing men as sheep to the slaughter. They who thus rise at their expense, entertain the profoundest admiration for their own abilities. Your real demagogue has confidence in his "star," believes in the singular greatness of his des tiny, and considers himself as equal to anything. Ho regards himself as many-sided feels that posterity will desire to know his movements and his thoughts, and so keeps a journal, records his speech, sometimes builds his own sepulohre and inscribes thereon au account of his many vir tues. It he happens to bo a preach er, ho is familiar with the Almighty, speaks without misgiving of his plans and purposes, is assured that ho is a "special vessel" albeit he may be a cracked one and wa e3 with super ciliousness all who differ from him and his adherents into a place of sorrow and despair. If he is a politician he considers himself essential to the we'll being 01 the nation, assumes that his cunning is wisdom, that his office-seeking is patriotism, that his assertions are arguments, and that his projects are public benefactions. If he is a physician, a lawyer, a mer chant for ho is a possibility in every profession he is inflated, heady, ar rogant, patronizing; a boasty, windy braggart, who, like the philosopher, sees nothing great but man, and. un like the philosopher, seas no man great but himself. His self-conceit is always thus shoreless, oceanic, Ti tanic, and engulfs in its depths every trace of modesty and humility, and beats down or swallows up nearly everything that is valuable in human character. He knows how to cringe when ho' has purpose to serve, he knows how to forget tho obligations ho is under to those around him, and he knows how to veer with the facili ty of the weather-cock. And he is EttfiLciaiiily -pi-iix--oopElbiry, ERCL oblivious enoughio everything, save his own advancement, to reconcile his deviations and schemings with the sense of his own importance and dignity. It is to bo devoutly hoped that when Lieutenant Greely is found, which we sincerely trust ho may be, this will be the last we s hall hear of Arctic expeditions. There have been enough good men and true sacrificed to the Moloch of the frozen north, and no more lives should be wasted in a fruitless search after a chimera. If the north polo were reached, which i3 pretty well proved to the satisfac tion of every one savo scientific cranks, cannot be done, what partic ular good would it do? Ey all means let America take the lead in discov ery, but let it be in discovering some thing which will bo for tho good of mankind at large, and not alone for the benefit of a few arm-chair geographers. The expenditure is also to be considered. Putting aside the original cost of the Jcanctte ex pedition, which was defrayed by Mr. Bonnett, the taxpayers will be called upon to pay a further sum of about S251,2S9, and all for what? Echo answers, "What? I Arctic explora tion must be indulged in, would it not be better if America were first to set about building ship, that would be suitable as Eearch vessels? "What a farce it is that a great country like this should be obliged to go to a foreign port to buy a ship, and also have to borrow one, as we have had to do with the Alert, in order to search for men belonging to our own navy. We have been forced to this for the reason that all the vessels be longing to us were so rotten that not one would withstand the pressure of the-Arctic ice, even so far south as they expect to find Lieut Greely The cry of 4,No taxation without representation" has a verv familiar sbuncL It is now raised by tho women of England, who are clamoring for the suffrage. Societies are being or ganized by them to resist the officers of the law, unless their rights arc acknowledged and conceded. Mr. Gladstone is to bo pitied. Ireland is still restless and unsatisfied. Mr. Parnelland his followers are stronger than ever. Tho Egyptian problem remains unsolved, and the millions who spin and dolvo are discussing the abolition of caste and language which, while it fails to find its way into conservative print, is neverthe less loud and deep. And now the women. Mr. Gladstone should in augurate a new policy with tho ob jective point of providing overv one them with a husband. Within the last three months S23f- f (XK),000 of northern capital has been invested in the southern states. That is the most effectual wav to dissolve the "solid south." NEW TO-DAY NOTICE.
