The Party Of The Future

Al, out huif a inülion of young men, who havo never before votcd for President, will have tht; rightto TOtu this fall. liuiue of mauy of thera will be dctermined by personal, family and social tsflnescos. They will vote as those nearent tiicui, Huil in whoso juugment they teel the most eonfidenoe, persuade them tú vote. We would say nothing to weaken tho just foro paiental, personal und Bocial influencea, even in the matter of voting, choujrli technicall erj votor is Bnpposed to have reached the age of independent judgtnent. iluuy .ndi-, ho wever, will fiad the question gpringing apon them i;i a way that puzzles tUem and domands some i tiou The ■ ■ oedenta are Republican, and who have expedted to voto tho Bepublican ticket, mny be pu?zled to teil which ticket is iuo3t deserving of t'ie iwu. The Grant ticket enianstea froni a Etepublicau National Convention; but its candidato has been a Democrat in all tiits old party quesliouE. Tka ü. ticket emanates, in the first ins' trom a Repnblican Convention, and wks quently indoised by the J but its candidate has been a liepublican on all the old party quostiona, and it may . ii majority of the first-clasa leaders of the Abolii publican "parties 8uat;iin hita." Which, then, the bettei ticket ': It, on the other hand, they aro Dcmoorats, they wi)i be told by the Grant Demócrata that Greeley has always been the arch-enemy of Demoorocy, thnt he lms thrown more vitriol at the Democratie party than nny other Repubiican : whilü Grant is a soldier, who has no Ke publioan idea in his head, who never voted any but the Domocratio ticket, and wlio would j'.ist 8 BOuu hai; ruu for the Democratie party as for tho ltepublieau in 1868, if ha h"d thought they could efecthim. ley Demucrats will just as rcadily th new voter that on all questiona now in issuo, (!.' has always been a good Democrat ; tiiat the ïL;very quMtion will inj left to Congi'3, Mía that uiidor Greeley we oan eeoure amnesty, reconcilia tion, peace, and reform. In this jargon of opposing pleas we sk the hall millioo of young ïurn, first, to identify themsolveg with a party which has i Future, and uot with jiart vvhich has only a Past. This party : i Future is tho Liberal party, llurdly auybody doubts thát. 8econdly. vote for that party which is cheitly led by iaën who have lieeu bold, seli-sacrificing and honest ;is Rtatosinen und pub!io otneers. Thirdiy, vote for that party which proposos not merely to "run the Govornnisnt," i. ■., to gót and control the offices, but which also propos9 to do for the country wlint the country mostueeds. [f the country needs the unnexation of San Domingo, the distribution of offices iiiiiong tha President'a ji''ts utd relativos aB family plunder, thueontinuance ofcarpet-bag rulo in the Southern States, and a prolongaron of líate and ill-will between isorth amd South, then let our risint; young men vote for tlii.se political abominationa, which are a steneh in tho nostrils of the Xntion. But, if the country ïieods a revival at the South of psttriotic attaohment to the Union, as the pulladium, not inorely of the equal rights of all the States, but of all the peoplo ; if it needs a policy of mutual brotherhooíl bet.ween North and South, which shall niako them speedily helpers and custoniers of each other, iu8'.ead of haters and deetroyers ; if it neede Christian kindness in liuu of Fed eral bayoneta : parties eqüally divided, so that only good men oan be eleuted, instead of parties so uncquallly divided that the majority party can cloct the wortt man it may nomínate ; if it needa a chief magistrate too oonacientioua and p'iblie-spirited to ajipL'int to office those whose sole claim is some peonniary present or favor to himself : it it. neeils houesty, industry, and vigor in licu of iül and Bordidness, then let our j'oung mon cast their tirst vote for principies and a man who will nevor shaine ttiem. Téry ! E w, even of those who intend to vote i the Grant ticket thisfull, believethat the ' ltopubliean party will last four yeaiss longer. lts inission boing accomplishod, : it is inevitable that it should fall to pieoes. It has no futuro. There is notliing oonaeoted with its present aims and '. purposes whieh oan milist thu sympathies I of ardent and patriotio young' raen. lts pnst is full of uoblo achieveinenls, in i whieh we olaim a sharo. Tho most ' spicuous and ooutistent workers in thut past are Greeley, Sumner, Trumbull, i Sehurz, Gratz Brown, and hundreda of J ithi n who ure njv working in tbe j oral ranks bfcaue they believe in 1 jress, and do not ohoose to lag behind to i ,ake part in a miserable acrumble for pelf t vithout principies.
