The Era We are sure, has not understood us as ap'
proving nor even as viewing with indifference the Pres
Dental acts whereof it justly complains Bat it has
seemed to us unwse at this time TO provoke or reneE
the political strife which certainly dverts public atten-
ton from topics of vital Importance with regard TO
which may nationally hope that discussion VIII lead
TO bene6cent results Temperance Reform Agricul-
tura and Lechsncal Improvement, Popular Educauoo'
and other kindred themes. seem te us just now 20
promise surer and nober rewards topsriote nteseh'
effort than Political contention For every thing
there is time and o season and this seems to us the
very season for soothing rather than stirring the waves
of party strife.
We substantially agree with The Era on all the points
Of objection 70 Gen Perces official course raised by It,
vet We feel that in the present state of affairs 10 appeal
10 the Country against the Presidents errors is TO brave
the moral certainty Of their popular endorsement and
seeming approval The Wings are quite generally dis
heartened distracted and Indifferent the new Office
holders viii naturally do their utmost to sustain their
chief patron and justify their own appointment; the
seekers who have yet renOunced hope will work
like beavers in the desperate hope of retrieving their
fortunes and the result will be seeming ratification OF
the misdeeds which The Era urges us to divide the
House upon. We choose to bide our time aud letour
new rulers score on.
We do not believe that the People are now ready
we are not sure we shall them ready-to wage
war upon new AdminstT alton grounds so abstract
and remote from their daily needs and interests as
those set forth by The Era. We cannot say that all
those who voted for Gen Pierce expected and desired
him to pursue Proscrptiye and pro-Slavery policy,
but we think great majority Of them both expected
and desired it, We, certainly, have been neither dis
appointed by him, nor We consider his sweeping
prescription so cupsble as if he had inaugurated the
policy And as to his appointing Members of Congress,
we certsn, anticipated that when we found them the
chief harranguers in his behalf through the late Pres
Dental contest Who imagined they were working for
nothing
When she proper time shall have arrived for enter
ing upon another Political contest The Tribune will be
found battling earnestly for those principles and meas
ures which seem TO it most conducive to the General
Welfare For the present, however, believe there
are other fields wherein more good can be done than In
that of Political strife and we act upon this conviction
