The whole community Of office-holders in
the country seem to be writing for the Ex-

in common with the Federal office holders,
throughout the Nation. to keep out of the
Presidential Chair man whom they think
they can't make anything, pecuuiariIy, out
Of And they mast make something, Pecunia-
riiv. YOU know, somehow or other. The EX-
press is filled with their communications, ard
all its editorials reflect their views. The Ex-
press is the organ of the Court House Clique,
the organ of Charles Lindley, and the organ
of all that tribe who have expressed them
selves fully against Mr. Douglas heretofore and
who cannot expect anything at the hands of
Mr.. Douglas, as President. They rear and
they pitch. They turn summersets, and go
through all the aerobatic political feats of the
day in the columns of that accommodating
sheet, in hope to attract the attention of the
ignorant and it is just the ignorant that they
do attract No sensible man is to be deceiv ed
by the claptrap of their arguments and the
audaeity of their misrepresentation.
They talk about a man whom they call
"the little demagogue of Illinois" The little
demagogue of Ilinois Did they use such
language when, in the two last elections in
this State, they were begging for Douglas
votes to help them through when these
same Court House scribblers and Federal
pap-suckers were whining around through
the county, telling Douglas men that they
ought to go for the regular organization,
that they, (the Court House scribblers and
Federal pap-suckersl had nothing in the
world against Douglas, he was a sound Dem
ocrat and an able statesman and they would
as soon vote for him as any Democrat in the

What are we to think of such men, Can
the people have any confidence in them ?
After all their endorsing of Douglas as Il
sound patriot and true Democrat and a
great Statesman, they are now talking of him
as the little demagogue Of Illinois," If the

The Republican party--its press and its
public men, is to boldly stand on the
ground they have chosen. There is to
be no backing down-no relinquishing
of the fruits of victory--no ignoble COM
promise with wrong. The Republican
party has laid down its platform--consti-
tutionally elected President upon it,and
the Government will be administered
upon the principles it has enunciated. -
The bold hearts which were gathered at
Chicago, and bore the Republican banner
to. victory, will bring it untarnished

divine-whether he was God, or Gods
messenger of love to man-Christian
and Inidsl alike agree that the life he
led was pure and blameles., and the
principles be taught have blessed and
sanctified the world. The world offers
no more sublime spectacle than tho

centuries to the time when the wise men
sought bis lowly couch, and the sword

brings life and Immortality to light. which

Father, which bends lovingly to the low

tenderness and love cares for us all,-this
Religion makes steady progress, conquer

upon the heart by its ada ptation to all its
needs, until to-day its temple spires
cleaye the air Of every civilized land, it's
Gospel is daily read in millions of homes,
and its principles are recognized as the
only basis upon which the structure of
Government or Society can safely rest.
