Tho'Irishmen^this Iho examplo of thel^oountrymeH
in St.
Ix)uis,propose to so*organise as to secure to themselves a s^hre of political honors and spoils .commensurate with thoir numbers. The? Western Celt, the organ of the St. Louis movement, savs: ••At the last city clectton there were, in round numbers, eleven thousand Democratic votes pollid, of Which seven thousand were Irish, two thousand American and two thousand German. Hence our countiy 111 en ought to possess three and a hair times as many offices as either Americans or Germans, and nearly double the number of both combined whereas, of the I21,190 paid In salaries under the local Democratic administration, Irishmen obtain only $40,480."
Now we fail to see that the legitimate object of parties is to secure offices for certain individuals. We know that the use of political organisations has long been prostituted for this purpose, but abetter public sentiment demands now that partie? shall becomo exponents of principles more than merely champions of men. The old hero worship which caused Whigs to swear by Henry Clay, and made Democrats willing to die for Douglas, ha£ gone out from tho hoarts ol the people. Surpassing intelligence has taught the masses that a prinoiple is of more importance than all tho men that havo ever walked upon the earth. Humanity is evanescent, doomed to decay and die like the grasses, or the trees but truth is immortal, and at home alike OH earth and among the stirs. It is not 4he ojpject of freejjjovernment to giye offices to certain leaders of classes, or representatives of factions. A man has no better qualifications for place because he ia an Irishman, or a German, than if he be an American neither can his claim be better because of his nativity. That party has degenerated into a mere distributor of patronage which recognizes the claims of
any recommendation outside of the asplimit's own fltnoss and worth.ness. lCmmett did not give his young life freely and gladly that Irishmon might enjoy the spoils of office it was not for this that O'Coudell's voice rang out, awakening the echoes of two hemispheres it was not for this that Irish blood has flowed freely upon every battlefield of tho old world and tho new where Freedom has domanded a sacrifice.
Wo denounce this movement cure to Irishmen a share of office* proportion to their numbers. We denounce similar movement made heretofore in the. interest of German offlceseekors. We will bo happy to support Irishmen, Germans, or other foreigners, for office upon tho same terms as native bori\ citizens. We aro Willing to vote a ticket composed entity of Irishmen, entirely of Germans, entirely of n*livo-born wfyte mentor entirely of black hion, ift|*t ticket embraces noiio bttt vforthy pewios.

If 'they be "womenrof tho town" they are liable to arrest"in Either place, in one as much as in the other. There is no inquisitorial power lodged in the managers of the Opera House, orin the police, to say who shall enter that building and who shall not.

The fell of woman is more often her misfortune than* her sin with man it is efer choice and unholy desire. HIIIMBU, *Wan£, friendlessness, and love, m&o cifttteed thousands of girls to givj uj* their souls to afire that will^cease.w. burn only when Death separates them from the clay. Society has for these unfortunates nothing but jeers and blows. If they struggle toward the shores of Decency a rude hand is ever raised to push them back into the abyss.
When the Pharisees brought Jesus an adulterous woman He sfti& unto them, He that is without ^tn Among you, let him cast the ficlit Mtone." And the accusers went out one oy one.

GARRETT DAVIS wants to see Millard Fillmore chosen as the presidential •tandafd beiuer of the Democracy next year. Mr. Filtmore became accidental president }n conse^uego^f the death of Zachary Taylor," sonra^jrig maze, than twenty years ago. There Is only one act of his administration that will be remembered bjr the historian. We allude to his approval of the Fugitive 81ave law which made every man in the North a hound to run down fleeing slaves. Later, in 1856,Mr. Fillmoro accepted the nomination ot the Native American, pr Know Nothing, organization for the Presidency. The Democratic party must be in a condition even mora forlorn than we have supposed if it can find no worthier standard bearer than a gentleman,, who is noted chiefly because of friendship for slavodrivers,and Enmity to humanity as represented by black' men arid by citizens of foreign birth. The lash of the Southern overseer, the blood hound used to run down slaves in the Carolina swamps, and the Plug Uglysof Baltimore murdering men because of their foreign birth, are not more thoroughly out of harmony with ,these days than Millard Fillmore. .%
AN anti-Papal lecturer who undertook to deliver a discourse from a dry goods box in the streets of Scranton, Pennsylvania, on Monday night was set upon by roughs, knocked from his perch and severely injured. His method of discussing t^wtgPppal question seems to have been Man and violent, but hd$jliad a right to select hid* own verba).weapons, and so long as he only talked, no matter how roughly, ho was en^itjled to the full protection of the law. It is not by gagging free speech in America that any religious order or society will advance its interests.

THE New Yfrk King Is In a bad way. Boss.Tweedihas been arrested and held to bail in the sum ot two million dollars. The committee of citizens has made a report giving authentic Information on the subject of the frauds. The amount charged to cost of new Court House, still unfinished, county court offices, their repairs and furniture is, in all, $18,416,952 29. The whole cost dt the completed building could not fairly exceed 13,003,000. Tho $5,282,2jll 10 charged to county courts are for offioes' nearly all of which are in the same building. In repairs of Airnlture the following Items occur: |641,900 49 paid for $19,876 90 worth of carpets $2,960,287 01 paid for $408,551 50 worth of furniture $914,330 65 paid for $73,752 worth of plumbing $1,937,545 24 paid for $70,050 worth of plastering. The sum of $168,212 23, charged for advertising, printing blank books and stationery since the first day of January. I860! The whole account shows that twenty-four millions, and a quarter have been paid ius expenditures, for what is really worth but four million and three quarters, showing a loss of nineteen millions and a half. This is the an»9nnt stolen and divided among the ring thieves since January 1869. This report ooncludes the Business Committee. The Committee assert that within two years and eight months one-half of Ihe entire revenue of the city and eounty has been abstracted. The exhibit thps made creates great sensation among the honest tax payers of the city. Tweed has been busy for the last two weeks transferring property and effects. He seems to be thoroughly scared. It may be that he and his compeers will sing at Sing Sing yet.

VICE TO NEWSPAPERS. .Louisville Courier-Journal: told that in this hour of uniwship in misfortune the spaper people have forgot ngs ana are acting under nerous impulse of profes
sional brotherhood. This is excellent. Whymot llways When the office of the Cincinniti Enquirer burned down sevei^'jgtMrfs ago, the most active workmt among the firemen was Mr. Halitead, of tbe Commercial. Hut the two ifterwards fell out. Wherefore? there to make two honest rs quarrel error to suppose that belliglism is lively. It is simply of tho&o who have nothing er the public. The mass of the fMople regard the silly spurts of the every-day editorial warfare much thff&'regard the blows of the prizefigtliar as a low sort of amusement. Indulged too much, as it is sure to be, gpbws dull and is a bore. It certainly does not improve tbe newspaper business, and nobody will deny that it is a useless and vuigarscandal, a disgrace to the profession that sets Itself to teach people morals and manners.
As a rule, newspaper rage Is a sign of pecuniary distress. There is no evidence of a want of popular and business appreciation so sure as habitual Ill-temper. But now and then this chrordc bsck of amiability become* a fafebit, and when It does It diminishes tbe business of the ollender in about the same meaauro that it vitiates the sphere in whifih It revolves.,,
Says the Nation "We have always wondered,and shall never cease to wonder, bow it is the editors of newspapers have not found out how utterly nauseating to tbe great bulk of their reader* theso quarrels witli each "titer are, and bow very few people read them, and how completely all Interest in them is confined to other
men. The wonder, too, la.
made' all the greater by the foot that no newspaper Was probably ever yet injured in circulation or Influenoe by* what another newspaper said of it," The success of a paper, and the estimation in which is held, depend, as i#** the case of individuals, on its genera! character—that it is, on prolonged egn perience of the way in which it does work, and of the value of its judgements of men and affair. Any paper which has gained a respectable looting In these respects cannot be In the least injured by another paper's saying every now and then that it is a fool, a liar, or a knave." -s
