THE great difficulty in securing efficiency
Of action In our (the Republican, ranks Is
that every man is ds"ro" q saa'"g'
Per.onsl independence In public action is
IN absurdity. "--Gassffe, s/'dy lsM.
RrxAsxs:-The editors Of the Gazette
have given tangible proof Of their belief in
the resurrection from the dead They behold
the corpus Of Regublicsnism in the grave
where the Democracy laid il, aud smells the
offensive sspulshral odor emitted from the
csrcassss. telling Of corruption and decay,
and blind 10 oil the lights Of experience,
and inflated with desire ofexhibiting skill
in jugglery. the Gazette has commenced
the work Of performing the miracle Of bid
ding the dead live. and the spirit return to
the body II has left In the tomb.
All ages have their imposters. false proph-
eta and pretended workers of miracles, but
sincsthe Nszzarene offerd himself up onCal-
vary, no man has been found with power to
raise the dead. The Gdzete's efforts may
serve to deceive u few, and crafty its own
prurient ambition in the arts Of necromancy,
but the dead body Of Republicanism is be
yond it, power, or arts Of healing. Its ghost

less and iorlorn, and decreed 10 an eternity
Ofwoe for it, shameful attempts against the
liberty Of man.
The Gazette may lorganize the ossitied
limbs ofthe scattered lfragments Of erpublic-
snism. but that organization will be only
bundle Of bones, lifeless. powerless, spirit
less. and incapable Of either evil or good
IT. confession that every man in the Repub-
licsn party is DESTROYS Of leading is a truth
which the congregated crowd Of Republic
m adherents will not thank the Gazette for
exposing But 1t is truth uttered by the
enemy.
Tho Republican party as party Of just
such men--fragments thrown off from other
factions and parties, ~ outcasts, assembled
together into party called Republican, in
which every man is looking only to his own
personal aggrandisement, regardless Of par
ty organization or the public good Like
the rabble Of Jacobites and Red Republic
ans Of the French Revolution Of 93, each
man Minka himscMa General, and ever,
man goes for cutting the throats Of his en-.
emAes and gorg'ng himself with the spoils o
victory.
The Gazette il evidently weary Of thi
reign Of terror vixen 80 many of the rabbi,
wish ~ be generals. SO 1t says that per
sonsl Independence in political action is NJ
absardity." Now therefore, "selcc, You lea

Tive. Coming near and placing its mouth

whispers-"the spoils |" 1t can be nothing
else. All the so called principles of the Re
publicanl party have been entombed by
the people and the Supreme Court of tn,
Union. The Missouri Compromise is de
clared void. The right OF Congress to leg

and all the issms raised .y Republication

Spoiis. then is the grand motive put forth
by the Msrats. Dantons. and Robespicrre
Of the defanct party. Too many Of then
are anxious to become leaders. and share i,
the spoila
For this the Gazette rebukes the follower,
and in Brigham Young's style tells then
that they must follow their leaders, and no,
constantly yearn after the spoils. This re
