A Choice Between- Parties.
The contingency which we mentioned
several weeks ago as likely to IpresIon't itself lI
to independent voters, has arisen. The Old
political parties have, nominated for the
Presidency men so. acceptable and worthy,
personally, that there is not only no occa.
sion for a third party, but no appearance of
dissatisfaction. And the voters who have
worn party ties .veryzloosely for't'he past few
years, if, indeed, they have not thrown them
off altogether, must now 'miike their choice
between two well-known organizations and
their representative leaders.

TVs have, ourselves, a mere decided pref-
erence between the candidates of the two
parties for the first and second offices in the
government, than many have who 'do not
know them; but to the popular apprehen-
sion each party has nominated good men
and the question is not so much a pcrsbnal
as a public one: not which men, but which
party ? This is a 44gove'1'nmeiit' of laws, not
of men; and laws are the result of a party
policy. The real significance of a nomina-
tion, providéd the candidate he personally
'worthy, lies. in the record, the spirit, the
tendencies.and'theconstitutiou of the party
that made. Platforms are oftén little more
than expressions of what the leaders think
the poople want; and the ieal spirit and
manifest purpose of a party ‘must be looked
for elsewhere.
In choosing between the Republican and
Democratic parties the untrammeled voter
will look to seehow each has, governed when
. it had power; how it {has 'discharged obli-
' gstious and managed trusts; what sort of
men it has promoted Where it had undispu3-
ted strength; whom it has rejected from its
counsels; how it has squared its conduct by
its professmmi- and with what measure of
honesty and; capacity it has treated great
public questions. Judged by these tests it is
impossible to see on What grounds the Dem-
'ocratic party, justly rejected for the past
sixteen years, can now ask a restoration. Its
professions are no better than they were
four years ago'niudeed, not nearly. so good.
Wherciu' has it changed its spirit, 'or altered
its leadership or its- purposes ? Would it
improve the worst of the Washington mis«
government to transfer to the Capitol the un-
rehtrioted Democratic methods of New York
city ? D0 voter‘s, intent upon honesty' in the
finances and a reformed civil service, see any
hope‘ 1n an extension of the spirit that has
controlled the House, to the other depart.
m‘ents of government? Can the Democratic
party gain credit by the style of men it4 has
elected to the Senate ? Arc Cockreil, and
Wallace, and Eaton, and Barnum, represen
tativcs of a reform era ‘1’ Will the settlements
of the war and the equal rights of equal citizens
be safer with the party that has renewed the
alliancc.tliat.chisted prior to 1870, and that
finds its only hope of success in a united
southern vote, than with the party that
secured the one and guaranteed the other ?
These, and kindred suggestions, will be
seriously considered by the people before
next fall ; and unless history has lost the
habit of repeating itself, we think it will
appear that the Democratic candidates will
not be the gainers by the diversion of pub-
lic attentIiou from men to partics.—I-Gol1Ikn

THE NEPTUNES,
The Neptunes are once more agabiat home
among us, after a somewhat longer tIrip than
usual. This time they seem to hive been
fated to meat head winds, 3&c., cau'slng much
delay, but yet not interfering materially With
the pleasures of the trip. They left the
Vineyard early Thursday morning and arrived
home late Saturday night, but in time to
spoud tbe'whole of Sunday in the bosom of
their families. Our correspondent gives a re-
sume of the trip from where he left off last
week. Read it.
"DEAR GAZETTE z—ln my last letter I
promised some account 011' the Club’ s visit to
Block Island. This Island is singularly
formed, its hilly ends being separated by a
sort of lagoon, which is divided from the sea
by a very narrow strip of land on each side.
Most of the boys lauded, anti tbcn dispersed
in parties. according to their inclination- ,
some to cros's' the island to' the hotels, (about
4 miles) some to enjoy the view from “Beaten

ping" the inhabitants, others' 111 riding in one
of the privateI vehicles, and some, I am sorry

in rank, dispossessed at at arm's, other some,
who gave them a ratingin f‘good set terms.”

BY OUR LOCAL REPORTERS.
During the past week incidents have suc-
ceeded one another in such rapid succession
that a commotion has been caused, unusual.
Commencing with the first regular monthly
meetings of the new Board of Councilmen
on Monday evening; the meeting of (1. rom-
nant of the Old Hen Club on Tuesday; the
arrival home from Goose Island of Mr. and
Mrs. Herr Dobble Vondei'backcr and their
twelve children on Wednesday; the special
meeting of the Board of Councilmen on
Thursday evening; the grand gathering,grcat
enthusiasm and noble sentiments uttered at
the meeting of the Union Republicans to form
and organize a Hayes and Whoelbr club, on
Thursday evening; the arrival home of his
honor Mayor Ely and new instructions to the
police, with the animated discussions in the
offices, stores and especially on the street
corners, of the new charter, council, police,
(£10., 85., the time has been fully occupied.
It was hoped that under the new organiza-
tion of the Board, order- would prevail and
rules be regarded. It is said by those who
have attended the moctings for years, that 110
such meetings have been held as that of Mou-
(lay night. The difficulty of electing a clerk
pro tem, absence of books and papers, and
the general confusion, made the occasion one
of great interest, and of no little mirth to
the lobby. There is no doubt that Black-
stone, Jefferson, Cushing and W'cbstor .will
be dilligently studied before the next meet-
ing.
It appears that Camp’s business in New
York is still pressing. We are happy to in-
form him tliat at the last meeting of the
Councilmen a resolution was passed favoring
the completion of East Washington street,
especially for the accommodation of our dcl-
icatc country cousins: 4
Legislators, lawyers, laymen and lumber-
'mcu learned much that was now while at-
tending the meeting of the Board on Mon~
day'night.
No pen can write no tongue describe the
love and beauty of that last. meeting of the
01d ch Club. They adjourned to meet
again next time.
' ' At the special meeting of the Board of
Councilmen on Wednesday evening, to hold
an inquest on the matter of West street,
Councilman Adams presided. The witnesses
in the case above were not present, so the
- jurors were compelled to keep good-natured
over the corpse by a free and easy talk. The
witness and the Doctor finally arrived, when,
on a thorough examination it was found she
was not de'ad nor asleep; (no political capital
could be made out of the acts of last year’s
committee on streets and sidewalks,) but
needed a little more physi'c, which was grant-
ed by vote' of the Board, and the committee
requested to administer it.
The Congregational Society have been ex-
ceedingly fortunate in :1 supply of the Pulpit
in the Pastors absence. Rev. Mr. Mai-Ian of
2dAvenuc &. 14th St. N. Y. preached last
Sabbath morning and evening discourscd un-
usually plaiu, practical, and appreciative,
Rev. J. J. Woolly supplies the pulpit next
Sabbath.
I There is a suggestIOn current, that as Coun-
cilman Adams proved himself an adept in
Presiding on Monday night at the Council-
meeting-that he be counted in as one of the
six candidates for next year, and made
‘3‘ senior;" worse things have happened.

On the question of adopting a name for the
club it. was decided on motion of C. T. Hal-
lock seconded by Rev. D. Platt to adopt the
name above, Mr. Flatt said it was a Union
Party, and should be known as such.
I Mr. D. .L. Millard rose to a public explana-
tion and said he was a Union Republican.
His'actions had been brought in question,
whatever 11c had done had been from consci-
entiousmotives. A Democratic and Liberal
meeting to consult upon political maters had
been held, at which he presided. He‘liud
signed the roll (infoniialy) of membership,
but his name was Jused as Vice President of
the'TildcnI Club, without his knowledge or
consent. Being cordially invited to attend
the informal meeting of the Hayes andWheel-
clinod to preside for concientious reason. He
'had formally in writing, withdrawn his name
from the list of officers of the Tilden club,aud
sinceIthe Hamburg massacre, had not attend-
tbeir meetings. I Heleft the Republican Party
on conscientious grounds and had, as he did
now, acted in good faith and believing now
that the‘iutcrest and welfare of the country
only, he should use his best endeavors to per-
petuate its principlcsmnd advance its interests.
The announcement. was received with pro-
longucd applause.
The regular weekly meetings of the club'is
held 011 Friday Evening, in. the ball over the
Post Office.
