DO Is 10 return TO first principles--our star in
the East, the harbinger Of good tidings, is the
Union of the States-the time-honored symbol
Of strength the principle which has just now
bad so triumphant yindication in the success
Of Caribaldi and his brave followers. Govern
ments for these States, constructed upon any
other idea than that of union and harmony be-
tween the several members Of the c0nfederacy,
are worse than useless, they are public null
sances. With the beginning Of the era of COM
mon sense (Which we fear we shall yet
be compelled to acquire in the school Of adver.
sity), our people will find that the constitution,
properly amended, the Golden Rule and the
doctrines Of the Sermon on the Mount form the
only proper foundations for political and social
law. When that day arriyes-and we hope ii is
not as far off as some people imagine-we shall
hear no more of Southern ecession and North
ern fanaticism.
In which well grounded faith and in hope
full and cheerful spirit We tender to all our
readers, young and DID, the compliments of
the season. While we all should feel due
sense Of the responsibility which the present
aspect of affairs entails upon each of rs there
is still no good reason why we should make
ourselves unhappy about it. So the young
people shall have their merry Christmas, and
Santa Claus shall be as liberal as ever; the
hymn of praise and thanksgiving shall ascend
70 the Oliver Of all good; the Christmas tree, the
evergreen wreath, the yule log, the mistletoe
bough, ali the time honored symbols of jollity
and good cheer, shall be duly honored through
out the length and breadth of this fair land.
right merry Christmas, then, to all.

early peace will be far more advantageous to
the Allies than any indemnity which may be
exacted from the Chinese.
