and 1884 and repudiate them in 1897 Is il wise
expedient TO "keep the majority together 10 strive
with Meiepoiiians in March and april TO ou,strp each
other In ertrems notions, and then in JUN TO deny
the course altogether Is it good expedent to at
tack with vehemence at one session proposition for
treasury agencies, and in few months afterwards to
recommend the other side, tons pri6us and with the
zeal Of an original affirmative advocated II may seem
SO TO Gio6uar minds, but i zoe should pursue such
course, and the majority should give US still their undi
rided support we should feel indebted rather to their
charity and forbearancc than any virtues Of our
own. But the defence doubtless will be,
Men change with fortune manners change with climes
Tenets with books, and principles with times"
But we regret the something like eaousies we have
awakened. We had hoped that in this wide and free
country in this OF anti.monopoly principles and
extended latitude Of action we might have been per-
mltted quietly 10 the Republican vineyard, and to
have consecrated lsbors cooperation with others
to the promotion Of the great cause But we
may have mistaken the sincerity Of the advocates of
ant-monopoly and entrance into the field has been
magn6ed into an adventure Of encroachment upon the
interests Of others. The premontions of what we will
not characterize scshness, and jealousy, however,
do not convince that our labors are not wanted
We believe the field is large enough for both tho
Globe and tho Madisonan. We come not to interfere
with, but to aid We are moved with all the beneyo-
lence of Uncle Toby, and beg to say to the Globe in
the sincerity Of Abraham to Lot, Let there be no
strife between and theeis not the whole land be-
fore usif thou will take the left hand then will 90
to the right" &c five cannot be permitted to
present faithfully the real policy Of the administration"
as we would desire to do, then hope that shall be
agreed, that we may at least represent the sentiments
of the great body Of its supporters in Congress If
the Globe has eresioe patent right to be the organ
OF the executive, perhaps he will allow to be the
gan Of the Republicans in the Legislative department
lie cannot claim to be the organ Of tho latter, because
has been his province to denounce habitualy in the
strongest terms, voted for by than two
thirds Of the republican party in both houses We adj
mre our form of government, and successfully admi-
nstered believe its several branches calculated to ope
rate and cooperate in beautiful harmony. We would
aspire to accord just measure OF support to each of
the coordinate divisions, in the lawful exercise,
Of their constitutional prerogatives But if one organ
has assumed the position described toward Congress
then let claim for that body in the free exercise Of
its legitimate powers and duties that Difference and
spect which is due to the embodied majesty of the peo-
pie Then let ns seek to sustain, that body in the
sertion and mantanence Of inherent dignity and in
commanding that force and power in the government
which belongs 10 it by the Constitution and Of right APP
pertains to the direct representation Of the popular
regnty Let go forward then in this relation, if not
mutually then severay, seeking to promote the
Of the administration, to strengthen the republican
cause and advance the great interests of the country
to the enhancement of own self respect at home
and the honor and credit Of the nation abroad Let
adopt the beautiful maxim Of Augustn, " in those
things rheh essential, let there be unity-in
essentials liberty, and in all things charity" For our
part shall cheerfuy devote labors to this course.
In this respect, taking stand with the admnista
tion are quite content submit to time and public
opinion for judgment upon the relative justice of the
doctrines which, referring the republican party, shall
characterize respectively the Globe and the Madso
man. ~.
