AuOUSTA, GOA., April, 1800. The Alabama Claims as a Party Ques tion. The aotivo managers of the repub lican party, it is said, have resolved upon the agitation of the Alabama claims on the ultimatum suggested in Senator Sumner's speech as the load ing issue in the approaching fall elec tions. All the old issues of the lsst cight years having been settled or used up, it is contended that unless the republicans can bring forward Fomo now proposition appealing pow erfully to the popular sentiment of the cintry the party will fall to pieces. .l[ence this projvot of bringing the Alabarma claims into the foreground. The idea is not a bad one as a party movement. Since the American war of independenco every political agita tion of hostility to England has been a winning card with the American >)oplo. Jefferson and the old repub Wuan party came into power in 1800 as the unti English party against the federalists as the anti-French party. 'l'he republican party, thus coming into the possession of the government was so greatly strengthened by the war of 1812 against England that the federal or British party became at once a powerless minority, and from that tiio getting weaker and weaker till 1820 it wholly disappeared in the second election of Munroe. In 1821, the federalists being merg. ed with the republicans, a new organ ization of parties was initiated in the Presidential scrub race of that year between Jackson, Adams, Crawford and Clay. This eleution was thrown into the House, where it resulted in theooice of Adams, as was charged, 1 by "a bargain and sale" between Adams and Clay. Upon this or) Jackson was brought out again in 1828, and upon his victory of NewOr- I loans over the British, against Adams as the so-called British party candi date, Old Hickory was triumphantly elected. It was the strong popular feeling of the country of hostility to 1 Rogland, intensified by the capture of Washington and the burning of the national Capitol in 1814, that gave to Jackson his great popularity; and thtus the Jacksoniatn democratic party came into power. Nor could this par ty be ousted until, in 1840, the w higa took up General Harrison as their can didate, a man who had also gained his victory ever the British in the war of 1812. Thus the great gun of the do niocracy as the anti-British party was reikeid, and they suffered a amashing detfeat. lInt in 1844, on the cry of "Texas and Oregon-fifty-four forty or fight" (a war with England)-the democratic party came in again ; and in 1848S they wvere again beaten, this time by Gen eral Taylor, not only as the hero of, Buena Vista, but as a hero of the war, of 1812against England. From Tay-i lor down to the election of Lincoln the slavery question swallowed up all questions in our political contests; but even upon the slavery question the democrats used1 to some purpose the cry that the abolitionists were but the tools of England, bought by Brit ish gold, to assist in her grand design of breaking up the Union on the sla very agitation. This, because it was substantially true, was always a strong card for the domocrots. From the outbreak of our Southern rebellion down to this day it has been the good fortune of the republicans to stand as the Union war p arty egainst the South, against the North ern demoeratio party and against Eng land. The republicans thus hold the inside track on these Alabama claims, and in agitating the settlement involv ed in Senator Bumner's exposition they have nothing to lose, but overy-~ thin.g to gain. As Jackson upon his 'lorious slaughter of this British red. S coats at New Orleans secured the Irish vote of this country to the demcoratio *party, so, now, a republican party m'uiovement promising a difficulty to Egland, which will be Ireland's op. portunity, may win the Irish vote and lecave forlorn democracy hard aground.

It Is sub. jeot $o no disappointments, since he ~ ~hat perseveres, makes every difficulty 44vancoement, and every contest a v1to y; and this is the pursuit of vir-i Oherman's Bummers. The Cincinnati Commercial, notio. ag the account of the valuable "find" n the treasuary vaults at Washin ton rives the following explanation of its )eimg there Shermatn's army, in its march to the iea, and in the campaigns of the Care. inas, got a reputation for disorder which was untrue and unjust. The ookloss, rollicking, roving audacity )f the "bummers" had much to do with this. The "bummers," as these nen were called, were buccaneers of ;he land, who would temporarily de iort the ranks and wander over the )ouutry, sometimes alone, and often in squads of from two to twenty. They were unlike the camp followers or 'he soldiers of European armies, who riot in violence, and who are ignorant, if not born to rob and kill. Our bumeinr was brought up a citizen, ind taught to respect the laws, and in ,hia insubordination he was never Aood-thirsty and cruel to violence, but very often he would steal. When in army invades an enemy's country, Ind, by the laws of war, may destroy )r take to its use almost all the kinds Af property, it is not easy for the sol lier-much less the bummer-to de ine the great accuracy the point of ilivergnneon between what kind of property may be abstracted and that which should be left behind, but we jre safe to say that now and then the 'bummer" did that. But if the knowledge of military law was not suto in the mind of the bummer, Jeneral Sherman and his officers not )nly were not lacking, but they exact 3d obedience, and when detected in .rregularities the offender was punish. 3d. In order to ascertain who were 3riminal, an ingenious and effective neans was practiced. Whenever there was a prospect of a Ag fight, or whenever the army came ,o a wide river which could not be irossed except from upon the pon oons, the stragglers, foraging parties ad bummers would come withiu the ines, seeking the protection and as istance of the organized host. Thus t was, near the end of the march, and t the crossing of the Little Peedee, ve think, as all the wagons and suspi iious soldiers, mounted or otherwise -and it was easy to recognize the )ummers-cano up to the bridge they were halted and thoroughly searched.

The Secretary should mature a dan for consolidating the whole debt t a lower rate of interest. The pre eont rate is far too high-is usurious, >ppressive and ruinous. Foreign mapitalists now greedily take up our mcurities, bcause of their compara bively low market value and the high interest they boar. The consequence is thie debt Is rapidly goin abroad, with the prospect that soon the great. ar part will be held here, and that there will be a drain of a hundred millions or more of specie a year from this country to pay the interest. Our noses will be kept to the grind-stone sontinually to pay foreign creditors. We shall be kept a poor debto# nation ill the time, notwithstanding our im. mnense natural wealth, resources and productions. The policy should be to keep as much of the debt as possible in thme hands of our own people, and this can be best effected by consolida ting It at a low rate of interest.---New York Ilerald Blismarck's tenacity of pupose: 'When studying law at Berlin he had been more than once disappointed by a bootmaker who did rnot send home his boots when they were promised.

In every respect, and most in self-res. pect, you must have sunk lower than I ever suspected. Whom eo do you please by this attempt to brow heat and rob us ?

A movement has beed agreed upon to have this question becomo one of the leading issues in the next fall elections, forcing the democratie party to follow in the wake of the republicans and approve their course, or to take sides at once with the Eng lish. T1his plan has been discussed pretty freely among prominet politi cians hero, and initial steps are to be taken in Pennsylvania. Polit.icians from that State, includIng Colonel Forney and Minister Curtin, arc among its strongest advocates, and will endeavor to make this question one of the leading planks in the re publican platform for their State. Trhose who are directing thme move mont feel positive that it will prove successful in mnaterially strengthening the republican party and produce a good moral effeet. Mr. Curtin, it is understood, will take occasion at the banquet which is to be given him by the Union League of Philadelphia previous to his departure for Ilussia to assume a deided position on this question and discuss very fully our relations with England. There is good reason to believe that Senator Sumner is heartily in 8y mnpa thy with the movement, and approves the policy of nmaking the A labama question a leading issue at the co'min.g elections in the various States. While here Mr. Curtin had frequent intor views with Mr. Sumner, and the views of both as to the proper policy for our government to pursue are almost iden tical-Wa Ain,j,gton Cor. Eveniny Post.
