The theme Of the Sd PROPHETS chaunt was the
want Of principles on the part of the Republican
party, closing with a doleful lamcntation on the
downfall OF the Democratic party in the North,
where he said, it once held the sway. The room
being poorly lighted could not sec whether the
speaker shed tears or not but he was evidently
deeply agitatcd and his utterance choked. He st
tributed the msfornnes of the party 10 the want OF
an efficient organization, and urged those IRIS
ent to pull off their coats, roll up their sleeves,
and pitch in. He seemed to be wholly unconscious
that he had followed the leaders off in their wicked,
ilolatrous worship of false Gods, hence was un-
able to give any satisfactory reason for tho calam
tiles and judgments that had ovcrtaken them as
party. Ofcoursc, he is a poor blinded mortal and
as full of prcjud;ces any egg is of meat. or he
would not have said the Republicans have no prin-
csplcs. Had this not been so he would have been
able to discern the reason why so many of the
best men have left the Democratic ranks and come
over to the Republican party. But, sit was in the
days when the Savior was on the earth so it is now

reprobacy Of mind The principles of the Repub.

Of all intelligent liberty loving men in every cline,
and hence the rapidity of its growth. Why this

Prophet No. 4. being filed with the spirit of evil

prophcced, saying: The Republican party has
principles to combat. 1t is merely opposition
party opposed to whatever the Democratic party
advocates. If the Democrats in convention, said

for argument when he resorts to such logic as THE
In the first place it is hardly probable that the
Democrats will ever adopt a resolution that would
be so distasteful to a large majority of its mem

likely clothe it in such ambiguous language, that
each man would have construction of his own to
put on it, rs they do in regard to the popular sovcr

natl platform. In the third place before agreeing
to 90 with them, I should want to know what kind
