THE uBOURBON":3IOVJZLtE2 Some inexperienced politicians are attempting to prove that the "Bourbon" movement that is the y stralghtout Democratic movement has little or nib Btrength in the country, North or South. There never was a greater mistake, and the sooner this is known the better will it be for all concerned. The Louisville Courier-Journal," . which has hitherto ery mercilessly ridiculed What la i 'call ed BourboijiBm, perceives at last that it is a growing power and one too that is not at all likely to perish by bitter ridi cule or sophistical persuasion; A feW days ago, the Cincinnati VCominercial," which represents the so-called Liberals whom we are told in ' some; quarters to affiliate with and allow; the leadership, asserted that it -respected " General Cockerell, of "Missouri, more than Ea- ton, of Connecticut, i The CourierJour nal tackles the Liberal, " so-called, sheet right there and administers a castigation which -would scarifyv'eveh a Rhinoceros. Hear Uiis;;V'' ; v' ;'"'.' .y.i , r- - "The other dav a ' modest sneech of I Senator Norwood, of. Georeia. urffihar I upon the consideration of theNofth die I Btuiermgu- anu oacrmces, aiong with the motives of the South, set the Commercial wild. The . idea' of admit ting that the South' fought "on ; princi ple;" soured the ' Commercial's . under standing nojess than its stomach, and it was as warlike: foe a day or two as a roaring Bengal dry; goods clerk. - 1theh it calmed a trifle, and now it torefers an ex-rebel t Rn exKjoperhcad, which is as equivocal as the : choice of . the gen tleman who happened to be caught be tween me ueyu anu ine aeep sea.; we may surmise that .it has no use for Gockrell or any other Confederate. But why should it be io hctttile to IJaton ? He is neither a bummer, a jobber, nor & thief. He stood fast to the- courage of his opinions dilring an era iof revolu tion, and, wrong or -tight, ' deserves the credit due to steadfast sincerity and true grit Hostile . to Cockrelb why should the Coinnielial detest Eaton? WTiat would it think of Vallandingham, were he living now? Val. was a bril liant and a plucky ' politician, ; over the average in point of personal attractive ness and integrity. . His death caught him on the rise," and, had he Jived,: he would nowbe.a central figure iri Amer ican politics. ' If the Commercial could be reduced to a choice of him or Conk ling, Grant's own ' nominee, would " it consider itself as occupying a' patch of sterile .territory between hell and the iron-works, and, if so, why so? Substi tute Gov. Allen for Vallandingham; what has he done to subject him to the Commercial's , category of bummers, jobbers and thieves ? "The citizen, in making a choice of evils, has to decide which party will be guilty of the largest amount ,of stealing, to the squaremile," says the Commercial. It is also kind enough to add that the rebels were nev er distinguished as thieves. Well, now, for .ten years, the Commercial - has thrown its influence on the side; of the thieves as " against the t rebels, so we must Buppose it prefers a thief, so he be a Radical, to the honest Democrat or rebel. ' That is its assumption af Eaton, who is an honest, straightforward, an able and a brave man. We must think it also its assumption of Governor Al len, to whom we nave been referring as the likeliest Democratic nominee for President frpm the present outlook. If we do H wrong, we hold ourselves ready to make atonement. But, as matters stand, it leaves the impression with us that, rather than see the Democrats come into power, it would support a renewal of the; corrupt party domina tion that now, according to its own confession, exists. REVOL UTION ANTIGIPA TED IN t GREECE. We learn frpm the telegiapric re ports that the Athens government is concentrating five thousand troops in the capital which will soon be placed in a state of visage. It would seem from this that King George is; likely to sit as uneasily on his throne as Alfonso hi Spain, but there is this difference. Alfonso,like all these Spanish kings, have to be killed to get rid of him, bu King George, like William of Orange, toward the English people, considers that he is' doing the ' Grecian people a service by ruling over them, ihat . the obliga tion is all on their side ' and 'he is per fectly willing to resign. ' It always seemed strange to outsiders that" the soil of Greece could not furnish a man iii. t- l rr: nm ,.a ..1 lv " -" "lw" "CCUB to hying on good terms, und to , leading an easy hfe that tbe actual ruler, King George; threatens to resign.
