Parties There is so much good sense in the

ten article upon the subject of parties that VIC ear
nestly recommend it TO an attentive perussl.
Goshen Republican.
"There are persons who condemn parties for
their violence, because they would ever have mat
.ers conducted in gentle and smiling way. II is
true that Kindness friendship and bene2oIencr give
high charms to life. and il is to believe that
these are incompatible with the existence Of parties.
Men who hold different opinions upon much
more important subject, are in their conduct to
wards each oher, governed by their hest charities.
Violence and party are no more synonymous terms
than are blgotry and religion. Besides, those who
fly from what they call harshness and fury of par
tics, make hut a sorry exchange. They to
defend their principles, and hasten to bow before
this that great luninary which may glitter in the
political armament. II is vain to say that an A.
merican citizen will wash his hands Of politics
He cannot. He is by education and from duty
politician and he must serve one or other alterna-
tive ;--if he IS mt the man Of party--he must
become some mans man.
