He could not have done j otherw ise, and it is only a matter of sur prise that any one should doubt what he would do. Tlmsc opposed to him had tin I doubt about w hat lie would do.

His convictions, however, may ! change, hut he will net upon tin; right I as he sees it to-day and not adhere to the error of .'ester lay !!ul for his honesty Mr. < iItiils'iimi would to-day he against i Ireland. | On tin matter o 'going out of olliee the j ideas involved are of that permanent 1 kind that do not change their relation. | An issue was made, he was on one side, j the torics on the other. He was beaten and tlie result was clear as day from night. Acting upon principle of political right he could only go out—and he goes. Hartingtoii’s course was, however, one that might fairly he in doubt, and it was pretty clear that Ids followers would be led one way or the other as (heir lender was influenced by the instinctive im pulses of whiggory, or by politic consid erations of the future of parties. As it turns out the politic consideration was tlie more cogent force, though the victory is not decisive. Tor about two hundred years w iggery was tlie assailing force in British polities and the tories held the j fort. There came a time consei]iiently ! when all the issues between those two old parties had been fought out, and | w hen the cniii|Ui iTng wliigs had extorted from the obstinacy of the tories nearly all the points that have made Kngiand a progressive nation, from parliamentary reform to the habeas corpus law. Then arose new demands for further changes in the pingressive direction—changes in the popular spi"it Unit whiggory could not acept - and on these new issues the present liberal party came in to cxisttnee. With regard to rol.u-i propositions for reform in keeping with the spirit of the ptVM iit time tlie wliigs thcrel'iiie ure apt to he rather nearer to the tories who n-i-t than to the liberal:, j who demand. 'They always halt between i on any great issue, as llartington is halt- I ing now. lint as the propositiiins touch ing Ireland strike tlie conservative Lng- lishman as truly monstrous, it was j thought the wliigs might all go bodily j over to the tories on this point, even tft 1 the risk of being heard of no more for- j ever as a separate party. That they have not so gone seems to indicate that they are now les.- certain of j the dreadful danger of this next reform ] than they were at tin- time it was first j proposed, and that they expect to plav a 1 part as a shaping force to prevent reform from taking on radical | roportions and to overcome a too obstinate or even reac tionary temper in the lories. In this at titude on their part, and in tlie promise of Mr. (lladstoim to "conduct an uncom- promi-ing opposition,’’ we see the prospect of n lively future j Ibr ieforei in Ireland, liven in the much 1 varied history of political parties, we sch'.om observe a precise parallel to the ; relat 'on "f parlies in this ease. Salislmrv j j has a majority oil one point in the puli- j I ties the time, and is hi a miimiiti on : ! all oilier points ; yet he comes Inin otiice j !> cause that point is the conspicuous I topic of tiie day, and lor the moment | dwarfs all the topics p, v , Inch lie is in | a miiiotiiy. His party work- mi a pivot. It is like a top that must he kept spinning fair and even to j presen e its delicate balaiue on tlie point. I and tiie IVttlest side-wipe will upset it. ] (iladstmu's t nergetie determination i-.ot to make any endeavor to reach an agree ment ivith tin tories, which perhaps j results Irmn his cxpo-ioiiee with I'arnar- ' von, and the determination of the wliigs i to stand oil' and support Salisbury only if he satisfies them, will be. fruitful in j side-wipes and would he enough to make life a burden to a pift'ty leader of far j more genius than Salisbury posseses. j Til K MU 1 I ION IS l-l SYst I.Y INI k. | The news given the country n few days | ago thill Mr. l’owderly was likely tube' the nontinei of the democratic party of Pennsylvania for governor has received ; a black eye. Mr. l’owderly publicly an nounces that he would not accept tlie nomination if it were unanimously ten- i deled him and backed up by a certainty of his election. It would he contrary to 1 all hi- public professions to enter actively into polities. Thisauinoiineement of Mr. ! 1’ovvderly leaves the result in I Pennsylvania as much in doubt | as heretofore. The labor vote, one | hundred thousand strong, is still aloof I from any party alliance, and whichever ! way it goes decides the contest. Both J parties will make strenuous efibrts to I capture it, and the two platforms will no ! doubt bristle with fair promises to the i laboring people. The situation, however, is not without j hope for the democrats. They have at least won the good will of the laboring j people by ollering to nomi nate their leader. The only ijuestion which will present itself: to them now will lie, which party is more j likely to keep its promises? The insin cerity of the republican party on the li quor question lias caused many people to j believe that their professions of friend ship for tlie prohibition cause was simply a trick to catch the prohibition vote. The prohibitionists have become dissatisfied with the record of the republican party on this question, and are not likely to be so easily duped again. The democrats will endeavor to take advan tage* of this di -.action and win over at least a fair share of this vote, and by the aid of the laboring men they hope to take the republican.- by surprise and cap ture the gubernatorial prize. The state '•<invention meets in about three weeks and it will lie interesting to watch devel- ments during the interval from now until then. If the democrats make u w ise select ’"it for t m 1 lead of their ticket, they will unquestionably ha\" a lighting chance. \o Veil' Kill It in KltMss. The convention ot tion.i Templars ha.- adjourned, and the delegates have left for their homes. From utterances of sr.me of tin public speakers here we would presume that it is the intention of the order to raise the prohibition issue in this city at no very distant day. We do not refer to this, however, for the pur pose of discussing the prohibition ques tion, or of expressing an opinion as to whether an election should be hold. Wo simply want to say a few words in all kindness to those who may be on oppo site sides in Ihi.- great i.-.-no. If the friends of prohibition see tit to ask for an election in this county, it is their perfect right to do so, and no one should abuse them for acting according to their honest convictions. In advoca ting the cause of temperance, however, its friends should lie cure fill not to speak harshly of those who do not agree with them in their plans and methods. Every good man is free to admit tlint temper ance is a good thing, hut all good men do not concede that local prohibition law- arc beneficial. If there is to he a contest lien let the gentlemen mi both sides en deavor to condui-1 the campaign in a re spectful and orderly manner. We have heard temperance speakers use s, .me very intemperate language. The hitter abuse of the men who migea - in the liquor trallienudtiio.se who drink whi“kyby some ] non i i in nt pr Libit ion i .raters lias lone more In injure the cause iif temper ance thitn to promote it. These ex tremists'.'ring hitt'.-rne-s and strife into local contests that produce dissensions and enmity that it lakes years to vvq - out. The light should not he against any imliv idual or class of individuals, but for a principle. If you would convince men you must address their reason and argue with them in a calm and friendly man ner. Men can lie lead in a matter like this, but they iiinnot be forced. Abuse only serves to drive them further from VI 'll. It etui also be said in truth that some liquor men too often abuse good men who favor the cause of temperance. This is ali wrong. Every man has a right to his opinion, am! is no mao at all if lie does not act according tohif-hoiirst con victions of duty. Solong as a man is re spect fill to those w ho disagree w ith him, he is in turn entitled to respect from them. If a man believes prohibition to he for the best interestofthecoiintur and p."motive of good n. his fellow ii.i-ii. il i. in I only his | jglit. hut it is his duty to e- poiisc its cause, hut he should act in siieli a manner ns not h wantonly of- feuil l hose wli" di.-agn. e wit h liii.i. 'I*".- .-ame may he .-aid wtlli i qua! louv in r- gard to the man who o;;..m-. prohibit ion.

A due regard for the rights ■ ; others will avoid nil contention and haul feelings in a i.iatt' i like llii~. and there is absolutely no reason for strife an 1 oil- terness. Men who rc~drt to abuse and vituperation thereby admii that they ale incapable of reasoning, ain) have no ui- aliment to oiler in support of tlu-ir posi tion. he regarded with suspicion on that no count. But they go further still. Hav ing from tlie premise that one preacher i- corrupt, drawn the conclusion that all preacher- are in the same predicament, ihcv form a sort of illegitimate corollary that tlie religion these men preach is a -haio It is useless to toll these censors of tin pulpit and the eliureh that their i n:"- unions are illogical and unjust. Fur, ii- ,i rule, these people are a-' innocent of I ig. as tlu-v are of decency, and the idea I of doing justice t" anybody merely oil pi-tin iph- i- an nn'hinkahle conception -,o them. Collating scandals and evil re- qorts about ministers is a labor of love with such jieo]tie. Wherever there is a r moral wreck thither they llv. “Where tin- carcass is there will the eagles be gathered higetlier. ' The discovery of a very vile man under the cloak of a clergyman proves no more against clergymen as a class than the dis covery of a wolf in a sheep's garb proves against the good nature of sheep as a class. People forget that siieli men never were clergymen in the real sense of the word. They only profess to he. The appearance of counterfeit anywhere is: a priina facie proof that the genuine of the ' same denomination is valuable. Hypo crisy is vice's tribute to virtue. As long as men are human, as long as flesh is weak, men in high places in the church will ne liable to err.

Mr. Wambolt may or may not he guilty. With that question we are not dealing at present. We propose to speak of his ca-e as a ropresontativo one only. There i- a class of people, very large in a nunc rival sense, and very little in another sense, who clap their hands in delight at the bare mention of a preacher's connection with a scandal. They wag their heads and exclaim alia! aha! They leap to the illogical conclusion at oiioe that this preacher concerned in the scandal is the typical preacher of this and every other day: and the fact that lie ha- Ken lech erous or faithless at once 1 dots out, vea, glorifies, the short-comings ;m ,] peccadilloes of every layman and non church member who dis graces himself to any degree whatever. They regard a fallen minister of tiie gos pel as a proper scapegoat for all the sins that were ever committed outside of the cloth. But they go further than this. Their slip-shod logic at onee compels the conclusion that every preacher who has not fallen in a particeps. criminis with the one who has fallen, or at least is to as m th rgyhian will and in the :"t L certain men will lints in de- point at him and el risi.ui.
