original clements. The prophets Of party have
lost the power 10 deceive any longer by false d.
vlnation. They have too long led the PeopIa
hither and thither in fruitless search for pros
perlty. They have recently attempted to wreak
their ill-founded vengeance on a true patriot
one who holds on 10 the faith of his Republican
fathers They have pursued him with relen,.
less tloodthirstlness. Guided by the pillar Of
fire which the Constitution furnishes, he can
boldly enter the sea of politics. The waves
will fly back on either hand. His enemies NAV

HONESTY and FAITH will triumph in the end.
Something good will come out OF the preseat
chaos Nothing ,r0rse than the evils we have
endured, or than those we are afflicted with al
present, can possibly come upon US. The cha
os of parties will dissolve old organizations, and
every American citizen will resume his right to
think and act for himself Power will no long

clsed to subserve selfish purposes, instead Of
promoting and securing the public welfare. In
stead of bowling their necks to receive the collar
of MASTER the People will henceforth dictate
to their servants. Their confidence has been
abused, and they are now thoroughly convinced

thing TO the partisan leaders and demagogues,
and what r,compense have they received}
Both Of the great political parties have ruled al

prosperity to the country. Then let them be
dissolved! The experiment of party organiza-
ton has been tried long euough-tred efirctl-

We do not desire 10 build up a ''third pa rty
We only implore the People to resume Their
original freedom of thought, speech and action,
convinced, if they do not, they will soon be BE-,
gulled of the inheritance bequeatbed them by
the heroes Of the Revolution. Let each man
pause and reflect. Let him think for mo aent
of the encroachments Of party leaders. Let
him ask himself if he has not been in the habit
of shaping his opinions, OH all public measures,
in accordance with the dctaion Of ambitious
politicians. Let him remember if on some oc-
casion he has not changed his opinions TO suit
the views OF certain aspiring men. Let him
think II there has not been times when he de

has never been deferred from expressing ms
honest views, for fear of offending some poit
clan from whom he might some day have favor
to ask. If these things be so, 10 what do they

jaws Of anarchy and despotsm2 What have
these aspirants done for us What are they
doing for us2 What are they likely to do for

1t is more glorious title than that boasted by
the citizen OF ancient Rome Let Us never
again turn our backs on the Constitution and
make common cause with disappointed and Of
Tended demagogues.
We are not grieved to behold the present
chaotic aspect of parties Something good will
come of it. Politicians are becoming confused
