maintain the sancity OF marriage. But he afforded
Andrews fine opportunity through his wide circnia'

L, seems ou, Of place to deal with the profound"st
question. of social philosophy in newspaper. Hap

aud local questions that divided our parties. But
times have changed the party opposed to us has az
sailed the very foundation othe social edi6ce. They
leave alternative they appeal to the intdel phi
osophy OF the Socialists and we reluctantly enough,
have 10 deal with philosophy surrender our
cause This Red Republican party at the North ls
mere combination OF the thousand Isns that infeat
liz society. II Is precisely the same with the Red
| Republicans OF France, aud with the Socialists

comprises vast majority ol the people. There, mil

Revolutionary outhurst-, and continual agitation

excuses that it offers. Every will recognize IN
exact picture oi our Northern Isns OF Red Republi-
cans, in the following language of Carlyle which he
applies to the world at large i'll Europe:
"From the Sacrament of Marriage downward ln-
man beings used to be manoldlv related one TO ano-
her, and each to all: and, there WAS no relation
among human beings, just or unjust that had not its
grievances and difficulties. its necessities, on both
sides to bear and forbear. But hcnccforh be il

Cut every human relation which has anywhere grown
uneasy, sheer asunder; reduce whatsoever WAS com.
