tons against the Constitution Of the United
States have grown up. Women's Rightsism,
and dozen other isms are children Of the
same psrsntage. Now, the issues involved
are, as yet, clearly Northern, wholly. 30 far,
the South has nothing to do with them, the
great conservative party Of the North being
the bulwark between them and the rights and
interests Of the South; though every North.
ern voter who embraces any other ism, seems
to make it rule to raise highest on his ban

down with his rights guaranteed In the Con-
stitution 20 We say above, that we entertain
no dread of the result because We believe
that the South, ever wise where her own in
terest is concerned, will take due care not to
embarrass the anti-ismatic interest in the
North, by strengthening its opponent with
misplaced sympathy. Though individual

| tions, it has come to pass that the Wing organ
izstions throughout the whole North. have
identified themselves with one or more branches
OF these isms while, on the other hand, it is
no less undeniably true, that while individual
northern Democrats have identified themselves
with these same crankey ideas, the Demo-
cratic organizations, in every Northern State,
are firmly and vehemently opposed to them ;

tive In the discharge Of his duties in connec-
ton with questions on which either of the isms
of the day hinge.
The great battle Is to be fought by and in
the North alone. We believe that the party
of the Constitution there are in the majority.
1t Is composed of the mass of the Democrats
(the half crazed anti-slavery mon and the pc.
itico-religious among them having sloughed
OH and those of the northern Wings, who do
not choose to be sold like cattle in the market
to either or all the isms, for the bare chance of
creeping into Office by denying their time
honored and really honorable snd national
Wing principles. The vote for Reed for Gov.
ernor In Maine, shows that though nominally
running as the regular Wing candidate, few
were found to support him, because he pre-.
ferred to stand on Wing, rather than an Is
matte platform; the mass of the Wings of
Maine going for Morrill,, formerly Democrat,
who was run as the Maine Law, anti.Ne-
braska, and anti Catholic standard bearer.
The class of Wings who voted for Mr.. Reed
(than whom there is no more deserving and
constttutionally conservative man in the
Union) are not the men to bow to the triumph
of new ideas which declare their main purpose
to DO, to sweep away various guarantees of the
Constitution. We think so, because they have
much to loose in changes thus proposed to be
made by the ignorant, fanatcal, bigotted
and vicious, who, for the most part, can loose
little or nothing by any change whatever.
If all parties at the South will but resist all
appeals to them from interested quarters to
look kindly on those who are identified with
either ism, their battle, we repeat, will be
successfully fought for them by the mass of
tho Northern Democrats and the conservative
Wing interest, who, ore long, will be found
struggling shoulder to shoulder.
The only bad sign in the Northern political
horizon, 50 far, is the hesitancy manifested by
the Democratic nominee for Congress in Mr.
Chambers district, in Pennsylvania to with.
draw from the contest, urging his political
brethren Instantly to rally around Mr.. C. as
the representative in this canvass of one of the
fundamental nrinrirlea of the American gov.
eminent system, which cannot be abased with
out dragging down in its train all the other
cherished peculiar features of American insti-
tutions, which, having had full play up to this
time, have made US tho freest, happies., and
most prosperous people in the world.

to bis post, was restored to duty without trial.

his case. It was, therefore, held that his alb
