was poor King Lear a'ter bring stripped ol
his hundred knights by his unthankful,

B.ote sympathy with the IK-inncra ic than
with the Hepublit-ko party; and it is stir
niiscd that Charles Francis Aduius, the
strongest Ami-r ein diplomatist ot this gen-
nauon, is leaning i Ut same wajr. I lieae two
ststesinen Chase and Adams contributed
more than any other two lo the success of
ourcivil war; the one by preventing a col
lapse of ihe tinances.ihe other by preventing
foreign intervt niron in sitl ol mo Confed
erates. When mi n like these grow coltl
towards the party anil tlewit it, tney cause
other io belit vc that it has accomplished
In mission and that nidaya sre numbered.
Johu C. Fr-mont, the tbst Republican can
tlitlate for I'n-siilent, is quite out of polls
tics. The U air family have oil gone over
to the tuber sitl. . Ben Watte is still in the
party, bwt he his been superseded by a
f b-niocrat ia 8 nator, and no place is found
for him in the new administration. Tbur
low Weed has withdrawn from politics antl
is writing his autobiography. Horace
Gree y H coming to regard negro polities as
obsolete, aud is doing bis liest to revive the
old Whig issue ol a protective tariff. Even
Charles flumner lee s that the uegro hobby
has been ridden down; ami as fumncris
nothing ll not malignant antl sensational
ins last - great spiectr was a vtnouious
tirade against England.
We have gone through the list of prom
ineut leader of the Republican party, and
tin. I that even of the few who still act with
it, none is giving the strength of his mind
to. the old issues. The preat tU head of the
usrty is a recant proselyte who has taken
swne f WHOolti- fit jmWicsn thlds into- Artt
cabinet or tils confidence. W hat would be
come of the Liberal cause in England if
Bright and Gladstone, and L iwe, and Mill,
and Forster, and all its recognized leaflets,
should either retire, like Achilles, to euilt
in their tents, or devote their teal snd elo
quence to other subjects J
Tho IJeptiblieaa cause is an obsolete and
superannuated as are the Republican lead
era. The only "excuse for being" which
the party now give, is, that it is necessary
for preservinu the truiia of the war Hut
nobody Itelievoa that there Is now any dan
ger ol it cession or ol the re-establish ment
ol slavery ; and where there is no further
ground lor either hope or fear, it is impos
sible lo keep up any interest, Negro ul-
jrej.UiiiJiiilj.i'(iit oi the war" about
which Republicans can leel any concern ;
and as they assume the most complete con
fidence in tho rattficatiou ot the fifteenth
amendment, they stultify themselves when
they p,tsUjhat there is any further place
lor their party in the politico, of th oous
try. The only real objects ol keeping up
the organization is to "nuzzle 'twixt the
brei.it o" of the Federal Treasury. Hut a
party which has no longer any affirmative
policy and lives only lor "pap" is in the
lust Bt&ges of decay. If the Republican
parly had not lost all vitality, it would not
have run such a matt as General Grant tor
Pr. sident. In advocating and voting for
him, iu tone was lowered lo his key. and
cannot agafn be raised above it. JJout-
welis letter lu support ot Stokes, and its
total want ot eflect, show how bopeleoa an
undertaking is is td elevate the spirit iA a
party when it has been onoe let down, and
no new issues ate introduced to iufuso new
vigor.
The speedy discredit into which Presi
dent Grant has fallen since his inauguration
