Go back with us, if you please, to the Republican National Convention of 1856 and what do we find in the Platform of principles ? This resolution adopted without a desenting voice: Resolved, That a railroad to the Pacific Ocean, by the most central and practicable route.is imperatively demanded by the interest of the whole country, and that tke Federal Government ougt t to render immediate and efficient aid in its construction; and, as an auxiliary thereto, the immediate construction of an emigrant route on the line of. the railroad. ; Four years more elapses, and " again the Republican National Convention met in Chicago, (May 16th, 1860) and unanimously adopted the following: Retched, That a Railroad to the Pacific Ocean is imperatively demanded by the interests of the whole country; that the .Federal Government ought to render immediate and efficient aid in its construction; and that, as preliminary thereto, a daily Overland Mail should be promptly established.. J The Republican party started this great enterprise which connects the Atlantic shore with the Pacific coast. The Republican party had an eye singled to this purpose, notwithstanding a thousand and one other National questious to handle and dispose of; and in the midst of all, fought a fight of four years to a happy conclusion, setting free four, millions of human beings, held down by,;the strong arm of slavery suppressing a rebellion such as the world never witnessed this, and much more has the Republican party done, and today the Nation rings with the "glad tidings,", that the last; rail is laid, and the last spike driven, and the iar off States and Territories brought into close communion with the GreatStateS of the Na tion. r - . . , It is a great day of rejoicing ! It is a great day of triumph to the Republican party. ' No party ,of any country on the Globe ever achieved the signal victories with pen or sword equal to the Republican party of America. Though the last rail laid on the "Continetal Railroad" was silver plated and the last spike, gold, driven with a silver sledge hammer, its brilliancy, though beautiful, pales in the sparkling light of the grand and advanced ideas of a party whose foresight, knowledge, energy and intelligence has brought about an achievement so wonderful in its structure, so grand in its purposes, and all this in so short time.

CHICAGO . CKLSBRATBS THK KVBNT VICE PRESIDENT COLFAX DBLIVKRS AX AD- $ i ! DRESS., ti $ The celebration of ihe completion of . tue great continental railroad connection to-day was the most cuccessful affair-of the kind that ever took place in Chicago, and - probably in the West. It was entirely impromptu, and almost eveyciahV woman and child in the city did their part towards making it a success., ,tThe procession was - unique in .appearance and Jmmense in. length, the lowest gsimate putting it seven miles. Every merchant, every trader, every drayman, every milkman, every express company, and every business wagon on the line were generally filled with boxes supposed to ' contain goods directed to merchants in every city and town be tween here and China. Brigham Young seemed to be the largest consignee, as about every one of the 3,000 or 4,000 business wagons had one or more pack ages marked to his address. ' Almost every wagon bore some pleasant motto or device.' ' - !:i ' - , Just before the procession moved.every tug in the river and lake, over fifty in number.opened their whistles and set up a scream which seemed to awake echoes from the other side of Lake Michigan. Shortly after the Court House bell sounded, announcing that the last spike in the last rail was being driven home, and then the procession moved, and continued to move until 6 o'clock, when it dispersed. During the moving of the procession Vice President Colfax received the following dispatch: ;" Pbomohtory Summit, Utaii, May 10. Hon Schuyler Colfax, Vice President: The rails were connected to-day.-The prophecy of Benton to day is a fact. This is the way to India. G. M. Dqdgk, JohnDcff, Sidney Dillon, T. C. Durant. This evening Vice President Colfax, Lieutenant Governor Bross, and others addressed-a large audience at Liberty Hall, in which they"spoke e!oquentl3' of the great era which this day marks in the history of bar country. Durinitfitf evening there was also a general indulgence in fire-works, bonfire?, illuminations, etc. The Last Spike. On Monday last, by special notice sent us by the gentlemanly Messenger of the Union Telegraph Line, Mr., Hursdall, in company with quite a number of citizens, we went to the Tele- . graph office abont 2 o'clock, to listen to the driving of that gold spike in that silver rail, with a silver hammer, fec, the sound of which, 'twas said, would be distinctly heard. After waiting patiently near three quarters of an hour, and listning to the sharp clickicg of the telegraphic machines, and imagining that we did hear a very faint mttalic sound ! then the news flashed over the wires in the following jumbling order: All over' no 'taint' 'just got it' the two Knes ran past each other nearly a double tract.' That's all we learned from hearing that spike driven into that rail. , r. The Messenger then announced, after sending a message to Chicago that the job had been performed about 12 minutes and we all adjourned, sine die. The Spike at Washington. The special of the Cincinnati Commercial, thus posts that paper up on the manner in which the blows on the "spike" were heatd at the Capitol: "For a moment the instrument was silent; then the hammer of the magnet tapped the ball one two three the signal. Another pause for a few seconds. The lightning came flashing eastward, vibrating over- twenty-four hundred miles to Whaslnngton, and the blows of the hammer upon the spike were measured instantly in telegraphic accents of the bell here. At 2:47 P. M.f Promontory Point gave the signal, 'Done!" and the continent was bound in iron.' Stopping thb Paper The following anecdote of the late Mr. Swain, from the Philadelphia Press, is not without its moral in other latitudes than Pennsylvania: Many years ago, Mr. Swain, then editor of the Ledger, was hailed at the corner of Eighteenth and Chestnut streets by a very excited individual, who iuformbim, in the most - emphatic terms, "I have stopped your paper, sir," and proceeded to explain the why and wherefore all the time gesticulating wildly. "My gracious, sir, you don't say so. Come with me to the office, and let us see it we cannot remedy the matter. It grieves me that any one should stop my paper." Down Chestnut street to Third the two proceeded. Arriving at the office, Mr. Swain said, "Why my dear sir, everything seems to be going on as usual; I -thought you had stopped my paper." Then and there the excited gentleman whom the long walk, by the way, had partly cooled, said that he had stopped taking his one copy ot the Ledger. Mr. Swain was profuse in bis apologies for having misunderstood the meaning of his late subscriber's words, and regretted that he had given him the tramp from Eighteenth street to Third, down Chestnut. The gentleman went on his way home, a wiser if not a better man, marve ling over the stupidity of editors in gen eral, and of Mr. Swain in particular. Before he left, however, he ordered that the Ledger be still sent to his address. , ' mmmmtm III . - The first National Sunday School Con tention was held In New York City in 1852. the second In Philadelphia in 1859, and the third in Newark, N.

TemperancenHPoIiticsT

: From the Cincinnati Gasttte. The moral temperance effort did accomplish great ref rmatiori It began when' the use of liquors was-sanctioned by thi custom of all classes of society,' and when 'hospitalityasfegaraed as mean without these entertainments. It created a moral sense in society against the use of every kind of intoxicating drinks, which made the custom disreputable, and had a powerful influenco, in suppressing the ' sale. It -stands 'Out prominently as one of the great succes ses in moral reform. . . It can not be said that legal coercion has ever accomplished any temperance reform. On the contrary, it has caused the relaxation of the moral work', so that much of what was gained has been lost. The practical working of legal prohibition is to throw on the' constable the moral duties of every member of society. And when the community throws off its duties the constable is very apt to follow thrir example. . ' . ' There is something ver seducing in the theory'of legal prohibition. It re duces the moral reform to the ease of enacting a law. The traffic being prohibited by law, each one holds that .his duty is done, and that if all men are not abstinent the fault is on the officers of the law. Lie washes his hands in this easy way, and henceforth displaj's his moral perfection by denouncing the officers of the law because they have not made men temperate." Not a few of these reformers by enactment give themselves credit for superogatory moral works which entitle them to an indulgence which they have prohibited to others. And so the evil of drunkenness goes on without check, while legally all is loveiy. A grand display of the virtue of washing hands of consequences was made at the formation of the new Constitution of Ohio by the clause forbidding the General Assembly to license .the sale of in: toxicating liquors This made clean the skirts of the State. The Legislature could do nothing a3 to this trade but prohibit, and it did prohibit it by most stringent laws. . The result is free trade in all. Under many years' experience of this the opinion is gaining ground that much might be done to reform and regulate this traffic by means of a license law ; and that also it might be made to contribute in this way to the municipal revenues so as to help pay the expenses whieh it imposes on communi ty. We have formed the opinion that this conviction is become so strong that if a Constitutional Amendment were now submitted to the people, removing the prohibition of licensing, it would be ratified : and that if deferred till 1871, when by a elaue of the Constitution the question shall be submitted to the electors whether there shall be a conven -tion to revise the Constitution, it will then be brought about. Recently there has been considera ble revival of moral effort is the cause of te-saperanoe, and with the success that has always attended that work. And there are also symptoms of a new effort at political temperance, by the organi zation of a party pledged to support none but its own candidates for office, and to prohibit all manufacture and sale of spirits and intoxicating drinks. The convention at Crestline last week, to organize a political temperance part' in Ohio, had this among its d-eclatlEJons : Resolmd, That we refer to the ballot box, making prohibition of the manufac ture and sale of alcohol as a beverage a political issue between the people and these their enemies, and inscribe on our banner emancipation, full and entire, of the whole nation from bondage to this system of man killing. Also at Jivanston, Illinois, a Conven tion of Good Templars announced the same political organization as follows : Resolved, That as the liquor traffic is the creature -of ia w, enacted in the interest cf potitical demagogues, and of . a great moral and social evil, it is necessary to employ political action to remove all law licensing and sanctioning the sale and use of intoxicating liquors. Resolved, That, as we have waited in vain lor protection trom the political organizations, we deem the time at hand when duty demands that we organize nd sustain a separate and political par ty for the vindication of our principles at the ballot box. The matter of prohibition is ijreatlv embarrassed by the fact that alcoaol is so largely used in chemical operations that its manufacture can not be prohib it'ed. And as on account of this use it can not be prohibited, so it can not be restrained, and thus it must be absolutely free. This free manufacture and sale for mechanical uses makes prevention of the sale for other uses almost impracticable. This we remark incidentally. It is not clear whether these resolutions mean absolute prohibition of the manufacture of spirits. We may suppose, however that they "do mean the absolute prohibition of the manufacture of all liquors that are made only for drinking, such as ale, beer, wine, cider, and other of the mildly intoxicating diinks. We should ignore all the lessons of experience if we did not believe that this effort to make a political temperance party will fail to do good, and will be liable to do much evil. It may be thought by many well meaning people, that a political party professing purity can have only a good influence in any event, and that if it should grow strong enough to hold a balance of power at some political crisis, it may accomplish its work. But moral reforms which re quire perpetual resistance to the propensities of human nature, are not achieved by a political stroke. And, furthermore, the experience of third parties, separating themselves on a moral issue, is in this country that they weaken only the party which is the best safeguard of public morality, and that they - them selves become the most corrupt of all political parties. Let any one reflect and see if this has not been the case in all his observation. Third parties, whether of temperance, workingmen, abolition or any other speciality, are always taken advantage of by political adventurers who see no chance for them in the broad competition of the - great parties, or who have played out their chances. These play the demagogue by uHraism- in the special reform, and generally succeed in getting themselves into the places of leaders, and ore always ready to sell out the party when nn opportunity comes. The people of Ohio saw this working

in the Free Soil larty, a part jTstar ting on a principle as high as the crusade igainst drunkenness, but which, as soon as it gained the balance of power in the Ohio Legislature, was sold out by a ring of its leaders, who inflicted thefjfoulfst blot upon the politics of the State that it has ever suffered. This is the natural tendency of such parties ; therefore we say, no. matter how good the special cause upon Which this temperance political party starts, it can do no good, and may do njuchr evil. So far as it gains any strength'; it will be by dividing the friends of-temperance, and . thus strengthening the. com-, bined elements and influences of intemperance. ,;, The zeal which will be misdirected ,.in political orgauization, would, if directed to moral effort, accomplish

visible results. m -T.i From tbe Connersville Examiner, Card of Judge Reid.' , Editor Examiner : i In answer to numerous inquiries by my friejids concerning the status of my contest with Mr. Julian, allow me to. report through the medium of your paper, how the case stands at Washington. The alleged cause of the rejection of the Scuth poll of Richmond by Mr, Julian, was the informalities connected with the election, by which the votes of 1183 persons were thrown out, and a majority of 201 votes lost to me, which, if counted, would have secured my election. Then, I supposed Mr. Julian was will? ing to rest the validity of his seat on the legality of the adnission or rejection of this poll, hence the object I had in taking depositions at Richmond, was to find out what the Election Board had done, and whether their acts would . be sufficient, either in law, or Congressional usage, to cause its rejection.. . This was fully done by the examination of tbe Township Trustee, Inspector, Judges, Clerks, and citizens, covering both north and south polls, and the depositions were sent to Washington, on which I was willing to submit the case, although I claimed that there were errors of some twenty votes as reported against me, in Union and Wayne -counties, and a large vote in Rush which I held illegal. But the answer of Mr. Julian relied on no such facts as the informalities complained of at the south poll, but covered illegal votes in almost every county of the district and mapping out a good summer's work if faithfully prosecuted; hence, one of the first motions made at Washington after the appointment of the Committee on Elections, was to allow him sixty days to take further depositions. This motion was referred to the committee and reported back, limiting the time to thirty days, sufficient only to bridge over the time of the sitting of the present session, but too short for any other purpose. On motion of Mr. Holman, the time was extended to sixty days in order to enable me to obtain re bntting evidence if necessary. This, I suppose I must do, as he . has sworn every Republican voter in the South precinct, for whom they voted, and may swear every voter in the district, as he claims every Republican voted for him. Heretofore the secrecy, of the vote by ballot, was held inviolate, and no one was reckless enough to compel a disclosure, but now, nothing is too sacred for party purposes, and no right , secure against party power ; but I will say this, that I met with no gentleman at .Washington, who contended for Mr Julian holding his scat on the alleged causes on which he obtained the certificate from the Governor, nor on the light of the County Board of Canvassers to act as they did, in rejecting the South poll, for nil the points invoiveu in tbe issue be tween them, have been tried and decided in the highest legal tribunals of , New York, and : Indiana, and well settled as not sufficient to withhold the certificate from me, or award it to him. . However, as tbe Committee on Elections is now constructed, six Republi cans to two Democrats, and the House two to one against me, on a party vote, ilr. Julian may count with perfect relia bility on the holding of the seat for the present term, but as I went into the con test more for the purpose of vindicating a principle of right, than expecting to obtain my seat in Congress, I have every confidence in succeeding in the chief ob ject ot my desire, although the odds may seem against me. . - When I lelt Washington the session was expected to close on the last Friday of March or first of April, and may not meet again before December, but meet when it may, I expect to be there to de mand a hearing in behalf of the friends who supported me in the late election, and the right of a tree, fair and inviolate ballot. John S. Keid. In 1866 one of the leading Democratic organs in the West (Chicago Times), flamed out suddenly, In favor of impartial suffrage, but met with no little sympathy or encouragement, it soon abandoned Its advocacy of that principle. In 1SS3, the leading Eastern organ of the party (New York World), went so far as to favor the nomination of a life-long aboli tionist as the Democratic candidate for the Presiden cy. The comparison of local taxes and debts have also had an influence upon the Democratic leaders. The difference in the financial affairs of States rated by Democrats, and in which the Democratic element is strong, and Republican States, is as marked as in counties and cities. Take, for instance, Iowa, a Be publican State, the Vermont of the West the State where negro suffrage was adopted by the popular rote by s large majority there is no State in the Onion, not even Massichnsetts or Vermont, where the control of the Republican, if yon please, tbe Rad ical, party is more absolute than in Iowa. If tten, as its opponents assert, Republicanism means ras cality, incompetence, extrarigance and corruption, Iowa will be precisely the State in which to find these consequences illustrated. Ho better can be desired. '-,;( Iowa is out of debt and has $629,000 cash on hand.

That same Sign, can yet be seen, as above in dicated ; and it seemed to say to us, as we looked up to the venerable old Stager, with its beut and broken form, and dim shadowy appearance : "I'll last yet a little longer, until the Richmond and Fort Wayne Rail Road shall be completed, when I'll come down from my perch my destiny as & Sign being fulfilled." Killed. Week before last, Police man Ault, in pursuance of the Major's proclamation, killed Mr. Downing's dog.
