Our election came oG-.'iikc jug l,andle''-

Construction of society, construction of society"
Cause-Poltical warfare. Argument--Colt's
revolver. Many aifrays have occurred in our own
vicinity, during the campaign, in which the rcvo-

with steady hand, the Republicans walked ND de-
libcrately to the polls just though victory was
sure,-perhaps some were led with the fusonists
to vote for Mckibben, for the sake of making vic
tory sure, but think the majority preferred to stand
IN their own strength.
Mr. Editor, we say principles are right, then
why should We compromise the right If we are
but half right, then could we see the necessity of
compromise, but shall we for the sake of victory,

may hore to realize the blessing of freedom in its
full and constitutional sense, for at least as many
years as it may require to establish it over the
present corrupt rule. Corrupt, say, yes; and if
the very of corruption could be multiplied
into a cube, and language given to express its C.

We say, goit oitDemocratic--play out, and take your
champion to a sunny cline, that he may spend the
