THE FALL ELECTIONS or 1872.

the different branches OF the old Republican family
Wherever the children OF ancient mother acted
in concert, and with fraternal feelings, victory
crowned their efforts wherever there had been I'M
natural disputes and Cainlike ealouses defeat iol-
bowed as an inevitable consequence. Many colonies
Of the old Republican hive Of Virginia, since 9o,
have sought new lands, and founded new political es-
Establishments, and, main; tanning uncontaminaed the
only true Faith, they have grown great and ncreas-
ed in r,ch.s Is 10 population. 10 their migrauons
they have carried with them The Larss, and all the
tuteary deities Of their former homes. And as long
As they remain faithful TO the creed Of their
fathers, and continue 10 reverence the Ma
zareth, whencs their political religion early
arose, long will they be prosperous, SO long
will they deserve to be happy. But unkind
feelings towards each oiher-should they exist
alienation and distrust will most assuredy as Of right
they ought, disspate the growing elements of their
greatness distract their councils, and paralyze the
exsrtions; and the worshippers Of false Gods for
xetful Of the ancient landmarks Of their fathers will
be condemned TO wander many years in the wider
ness, with Land Of Promiss before their eyes to
cheer with the gliding rays of hope, the black DESC
lation around them.
Ohio, Pennsy lvsnia, New York, and Connecticut,
the mighty of noble origin, did not forget
the principles Of their weaker days but grown to
vigorous manhood still adhered with fidelity to the
articles Of the creed they mbibed in their early
ture- They waxed fat, Blu, did not kick and So too,
with Maryla and Georgia the SIX maintained,
like one their allegiance to the ancient standard Of
Democracy. The old Republican banner continued
- float over the gIories of their fertile wales and
their verdure-covered bills.
Would that the same harmonious feeling and
kindred spirit had prevailed among oil the chill
dren Of Democracy, SO that wherever her stan
dard was raised, victory might have aligh,ed upon
It's summit. But her Eagle visits not encampments
where dissenson RACES, and hesitates to accompany
armies amid the clang of discordsnt
II we refer TO the elections of the six abovemen-
toned States as prognosic of the future happy re-
suits that must attend union Of councils and Of in
ferest, We can, at the same time, point to the New
jersey election in 1912, equally indicative Of the
inevitable consequences of dssensions and angry col
lisions. In the first attempt made TO exclude
from the Democratic Church any professors of the
faith in the latter the High Priests themseve the
Preshyters and Descons were accommodated and

without proof and without probability, and published
opinions equally impolitc and groundless-
10 regard 10 the successful negotiations with Great
Britain the authors Of the N. j. Address made two
statements unjust to the Democratic parry to
tbs President equally to both-since both the
President and the Democrats were alike implicated
in stating that the late treaty matured and con
hrmed by the influence and power Of the " w igs !;
and that by its ratification had been surrendered a
large portion Of national territory and Of our
national honor. Both charges pronounced unfair
and impolitic unfair, because than two thirds
Of the Democratic Senators united with the Pres
dent in advocating its provisions; none with NOR,
ardor and ability than a distinguished Senator
from the South, rhom, il may BE- the members Of tn
"Democrane State Contention Of Men jersey" rejoieed

mocratic Commissioner, equally with those o
the other party, recommended its adoption; i'm
