THE EFFECT.-THE CAUSE..THE
REMEDY.

Under this caption the Council Bluffs
Nonpariel takes the following text from
The REGISTER" The whole country
looks with uneasiness and alarm upon the
present condition Of affairs and pro-
ceeds to make "a few general remarks"
We have neither tune nor space to crit
else that portion Of the discourse which
has been stereotyped in such journals as
the New York Tribune ever since the
corner stone of the Republican edifce was
laid at Philadelphia upon the niger that
never dieth. Most of our readers are
doubtless familiar with that portion Of the
Republican ritual-and we see the Non
pariel adheres to it with devotion which
must acquit him of every suspicion of
apostacy; which rehearses the shameless
treachery' of the Democracy denounces
the " repeal Of the Missouri Compromise"
when none, no not even Republican in
the land is $50 poor as to do it reverence"
mathematics 1.-THE Slave States and
Slave power,'-which prates much of
prostitution and peculiar institution, ;
but has no regard for the Constitution !:
charges fraud in everything that the Dem.
ocratic party ever has done, or ever ex
poets to do; makes a mockery of the
Supreme Court exhumes the putrid re-
mains Of " Bleeding Kansas and search
ing out all the charges that malice ever
preferred or soulless demagoguism ever
conceived collects therefrom every epithet
Of detracton, abuse and yill6cation, and
exul,ingly bestows them upon the Demo
cratic party-its measures and its NEIL
All this has been told before in so much
better style--with so much more of the
GREELEY and LINCOLN in it, that we can
not afford to notice that portion OF the
Nonpariefs discourse.
Passing over that We come to seven
teenthly of the Nonpariels general re
marks, in which is found a defence of Mr.
LINCOLN. The Nonpartel unites with the
Gate City in SAYING
Is it not more probable that now az
IN 1910 there is a universal desire TO es-
cape tho contagion Of corruption and the
clustering evils OF political ehicanery
which inf Ct and demoralize the 'experi-
enced' statesmen who have tarried many
years at the Capitol
The above journals assure US that the
Experienced Statesmen at the capital"
are "demoralized' and "yenal." Did thew
forget that SEWARD, TRuNpELr. aud Ham.
lin are Experienced statesmen at the
capital By the Nonpariers own show
Ing they must be ''venal'' anu full of cor
ruption and political chcanery. What a
confession F! The fathers of the Republi-
can party-cven the candidate for Vice
President" demoralized' and infected
with contdg,on from which there is
universal desire to escape.
We expect Republican journals to say
hard and cruel things Of the Democracy
because that is their businesss-a way
they have Of obtaining livelihood, but
We did not expect that in their anxiety to
elevate mediocre men to the Presidency,
they would decry, defame and denounce
men of experience. II experience is such
= dangerous thing what would become Of
Mr.. LlNcoLNs administration towards it,
close, if be were elected? Republicans
very readily become experienced in the
sense in which the Nonpariel uses the
term-and then Mr. LINCOLN must lose
the much applauded title of "Hones.
Abe" After that we should have to write
him down experienced" Abe, in other
words, corrupt Abe, "vcnal' Ale,
"trickster" Abe.
In Gil candcr we cannot subscribe to
the Nonpariers doctrine. Experience un-
FITS No man for high position. II he be
honest, patriotic and true a long life of
public service renders him none the less
worthy of confidence, but on the contrary
It makes him fit person for the public to
lean upon with safety. Such man the
"present condition of affairs demands for
President; condition Of affairs brous bit
about by !" war of words and tongues =
by conflict of sectional interests, and
determined resistance IN tho Capst;tut;o,
and laws. While Mr. LINCOLN may be
honest--what every good citizen should
be-and what we admire in common with
bis political friends, yet, he has not that
familiarity with public affairs, that lex
perience' which the people require for the
present crisis.
