MISLED PROHIBITIONISTS. Totes for St. John Will Aid, the Party of Urn Grog-Shop and Holldaxec. To th* Miter of. the Now York Trabnnei Among the political forces of the hour, characterised by irrational individualism and a rampant tendency to faction which threatens not only the-stability at political parties bat popular government itself, reducing society to a condition of chaos, that one winch proposes to organ, ize a national Prohibition party and to give- its vote in the present election f6r ex-Governor St; John, of Kansas, is, perhaps, best entitled to. respect It certainly is mare worthy of consider ation than that other party whiek, masquerading in the sham of independence, is laboring might and main to bring back to power the old 1 Democratic party, and: is willing to assassinate a great and good party merely fount personal dislike to JamenG. Blaine, though to this hoar it feds not proved: a single charge it has made against the object of its spite. The Prohibition party stands upon a different footing, and it.is actuated by different motives. Though, as I think, it is manifestly wrong and abundant in mischief, its- members are among the mast conscientious and philanthropic of' the American people. There, isno denying that these people, though manifestly in error, are actuated by puce motives. Dominated by. a single idea, detached Atom all questions affecting the general moral and material interests of the country, having before them an object which excludes all else, assuming to followin'ttaeftxrtstcps of those noble man. and woman who waged a.thirty years’ moral warfare against slavery, and were instrumental in-making possible the overthrow of the slave system, these Prohibitionists think: to. do the same for intemperance. Such a people are not to- be ridiculed ot denounced out-of their convictions. Against them, no weapons should be brought less, effective than reason, truth and humanity. Lost what lam about, to say shall be rejected on the presumption, that I have a leaning toward liquor. I may say that I am both a temperance man and a prohibitionist. I neither drink, smoke, chew, nor take snuff. Yet I. am not,.in a party sense, a Prohibitionist, or in favor of erecting a political party upon that single issue; certainly net at the present time, when the; practical effect of the organization of such- a: party is to withdraw votes from the Republican partyi and thus to strengthen and place in power, the ram, and'slavery Democratic party. From, the nature and earn position of the Republican party, composed of the most moral and: philanthropic of ;fch* American the- Prohibition party will naturally draw ten- vote* from that party, to ana from the Democratic

party. It is notorious that the strength aa>d prestige ■of the Democratic party is due tothe solid rot®’ of the South, and almost equally due to the solid: taske of the dram-shops of the North. When, therefore, l am asked to voter for Mr. St. John, l am asked to assist, no*, the earns* of' temperenne or prohibition, for at present) such assisstnneeis impossible, but to pi&eoia power ai party distinguished foe itesympathy with intimidation, lawless violence andthe destruction of the' freedom of the halWt in the South, vrbiis it Buppwrts the <whisky-drinking customs, of the North. lt ianethieg againet this, that, onr friends of tbe-Prohibition party are at heart opposed alike tOu tbn-gregpsbfip and) the., btdldoaeris whip, It remit, only of' ths effect ;oti their political action and of the defense, that; titer maim of. tbart *Wy sapy ‘ p>ree,vrelSedrfote-reeteeti* of; James 0, Blaiaa and JMkn, As Logan; and. tiresAresrtfarow the.RepubUcan wirty, anrd tmn*) into power Grover Cleveland and Thomas A.

reason, wdbat Ratter is thatLargnment ifian open, nraßagtrieed' jasrificatior of doing a damnahfe evil in- order that, by some mysterious way, Man's in this world is to- <fo good, and to leave to the inscrutable wisdom of Frowiduace the mission of bringing good out of' evil. Any other than this, leads to moral-oanfiadeu: and to the btetemtesa pit. Btet there te sot, the slightest, shadow ai a probability that, the defeat of tbs. Republican party to tire approaching election wiR dSstroy that party, ertoafc tha Banmcratic rßy. once- in. power, would he buried from, it at end. of four yeans by a Prohibition party. By its urinciyies, its antecedents, and, the character of the-mom win* compose, it, as- well as by the spirit, of progress that pervades it, tho Republic • an part®: gives the aeauraua* off its permanence! It is nothing,against this, position thatthnoldl Abolition, party defeated, anddertroyed the-Whig party, nor te tha point, watt tekam when. it. is said that my position is that of tho old Whigsas against the. Abolition party of forty yeans, age. My answer is that there- is.no force, in. tho supposed analogy, between, the- cases The lacks likeness, for the cases are fundamentally different. The AhaliUomsts-had-reasona for opposing bath the Whig and Democratic parties which do, not apply, to any tost sense, to the Republican party. Both- tha Whig: and the, Democratic parties were openly and shamelessly committed by their platforms amd: by their candidates to the maintenance of slav-ery-arid to the suppression of every manifestation of apposition to slavery. Both Henry Clay and; James.K. Polk wont slaveholders. to regard to prohibition, tha Republican party occupies no such position, to neither condemns nor approves a sus for being a Prohibitionist It simply awaits a settled judgment of! the people in respect to that issue, acid moanwhite does nothing to hinder the growth, of public opinion on that subject,. Et.suopiy does what, every party which believes in a government of the people and by the people should do,, to wit: executes the popular will. The idea that a few men can get together and say, “Go te, now, we will make a political party,” on this or that separate issue, and succeed, is a mistake. Wendell- PbiTHps said the truth when he-said '“Parties are net made —they grow. ” A party, to .succeed, must not only have ideas, bat numbers. A few men, combined: together, may work mischief by depriving a good party of drawer and putting bad party i power. But in order to accomplish, any good end, it must itself have either a majority or a reasonable probability of becoming a majority. Fiat, parties, m more then fiat money, can he popular under ea government. When,, by discussion and. the operation, at moral forces, it shall be the settled judgnent of tfewAm-frriCsm people that the traffic in ardent spirits shaU.be abolished, th* Republican proty will be aa ready to register that judgment and put it in the shape of wise legislation! as any party which may now or hereafter be formed. The mistake our prohibition friends are now making te full of mischief and possible disaster. It is bdsed upon the assumption tdtet we no longer have a Southern- question, and that the mission •£ the Republican party te ended. Both propositaaßs are- erroneous. Until the Constitution of the United States; in all its provisions and amendments, is respected in toe Southern States as in toe* Northern States, we shall still haw Southern question. Until the gates of education shall be equally thrown open to colosed and white people alike in the Southern States we shall stall have a Southern question. Until the-pathway to the ballot-boa in the-South shall be straight, smooth, and safe tea Republican as te* a Democrat, we shall' stiff have a Southern question, and ana with which only the Republican party has thus far shown the needfcd wisdom and: disposition to-deal. We ask our Ftehitrifion friends, in the name of their old time anti-slavery sentiments and their love of justice and liberty, to stand by the Republican party now, and until justice and liberty shall be established, and the ballot-box securely established and respected hr all the land. Let us do one work- at a time, and. begin anew work- only-when- one already begun has been properly finished, Yours truly, Frederick Bwcolass.

Assessments tel do-reminent Tftwpfihyrg. WASBHiweswv, Sep*. 7C —A new* plan dfevised for obtaining campaign ftmd* ftonr government employes has coms to nglit torough a letter addressed by <me> of tho. latter to- dviF-renrice Commiasioaer Eaton, te which Mb. Baton: has replied in. an unofficial letter. The: plan is to request clerks to join “State associations,” the membership being composed of employes and officers of the departments. This request ib accompanied, by a statement that: “On,recoin mendsnon of the executive committee, the association has voted to amend the constitution by making toe membership dues for te* first tvo years $5, payable in advance," A clerk who received one of these neqjieste asks Mr. Eaton's opinion, which, is given to the effect that if the money thus collected 1 is used for political purposes* the tratisaction wBl constitute such a violation of the civil-service law as will subject all poisons concerned ire it to the penalties of that law. Mr. Eaton’s letter is very long. After arguing; that attempted invasion of the civil-service law is very thoroughly disguised, he repeats his former advice to clerks not to-permit themselves to Be- frightened into contmtating-unwillingly far poßtteal objects. Not So with English Statesmen. London Word, Aug. *7. An American journal, in'dtefending-MY. Clevelsnd from-the accusations fhntharve been brought against him, assert* that if such “Indiscretions" are to exrilidn-foom office, “fevery great English statesman or. reformer of the-last hnodred 1 years would have, been tabooed- except Rom illy, Wilber forces and Gladstone." The Americans must be singnlariy ignorant of the private lives of the English statesmen and reformers of the. last century if they can.believe such, arrant nansense. There was never even a. whisper against. Mr. Pitt; Lord Granville, Mr. Percival, Lord Liverpool, Lord Eldon, Mr. Canning, Lord Grey, Lord A1 thorp, Sir Robert Peel, Lera RiisseU, Lord Aberdeen, or Lord Bfeaoonsfield,. who are our most prominent names during, the last, hundred years.

A BISHOP ON- HIS XIIA.VEES. Tire Semaartton Cannedi by the Arrival of * Canadfon ait the Virginia Spriagp. White Slilphor better ill the Glebe.Democrat.

He is, in gtorture, the smaliebt mam at White Sulphur, but his elothes look as if too tailor hod measured him by his intellectual greatness. The skirts of his broadcloth coot are- absurdly near the ground while, his pantaloons are reefed up around 1 his ankles in a manner to present the alternative of a wanton waste off cloth or no “galluses.” The little Bishop completes this odd costume with a small-crowned; broad-brimmed, black felt hat, which he weote weH drawn down on the back of his head. There is no lack, of outward 1 respect shown Him; as- the continual lifting,of hateas he 1 passes bears witness. This deference seems to be -a source of mingled gratifiostiew and wonderment 1 to him. Sometimes; after returning an unusually reverent greeting, I Bn will' turn and lbou after the departing fbrm with a half-pleased, and half-puzaled expression, as if Virginia moaners were a matter fbr some study. Out of the Bishop’s bearing there is- a little good-natured fun poked at him and his queer way* “Bid yott see- him the night he got Here!” asked, one. “Well, he was pretty near distracted about his valise, a little old rusty affiiir.
