Sanders; We are perfectly willing that
you should be favored to the extent Of
having leave TO make your own selec-
ton out Of the variety placed before
you: The CorwiD proposition-coming
- it does from ! member Of the Rspub-
licsn party-from that man whom in
campaign times you have been pleased
TO designate - the "~agon boy" and tho
salt boiler" &c, We think would meet
your approval. Cor~ia 10 one Of tire
stsunch representative men OF your
party. Can't you adopt bis propositions
We shall continue to raise our voice
in favor Of compromise. II makes bat
90 little difference to ~ whether they
are all alike or different in their con-
struction, so they serve the end-save
the Uoion intact. That 10 enough for
us. But as our ncighbor wishes to have
something sure on the compromise ques-
ton, We will ease his mind BY Just stat
ioq that NC like the Border States plan
Of compromising this matter. Whist
does our disunion neighbor think Of It.
Would he endorse it we're it made the
saving grace Of the Union I or would be
suffer martyrdom frsti Let NJ hear
from him.
As TO TIE Inconsistency part Of our
neiphbor's article We have but few
words to say. He who presided but
few years since, over . Know Nothing
lodge held on the first floor Of the brick
store, corner of Front and Main streets,
IN which he denounced foreigners and
foreign influences, but who now clings
to and 10 so sweet over those same for
eigners-(tben "the id Dutch" now
sour dear German friends,") is not the
person to pirate about consistency. He
who few years since 30 furiously be.
labored the "Dutch" for their intempe-
rance, but who now winks 1t oil such
transgressions and even countenances
their Sabbath breaking-Sunday dane
ing-Sunday fighting and Sunday drum
ksnness aud debauchery, 10 the last man
ia the world who should accuse another
of Inconsistency or vacillation. He who
vainly boasts through his paper that he
daily prays to God that there may be no
concession or compromise on the part
of the Republican party, when it is evil
dent that without compromise this Union
cannot be preserved, is the last man upon
the face OF Gods green earth who should
accuse another Of being Inconsistent.
He who can SO steel his heart against
the veal Of his country and on Bonded
knee approach his Makers presence and
ask that no COMPROMISING friendly
adiustm cnt, no concession shall be made
whereby this noble fabric can be perpet-
uated for the benfit Of pestcrity and the
oppressed Of other countries, should blush
to reproach even the most debased wretch
whose feet are permitted to tarnish the
footstool # Omnipitence. And such is
the consistency Of our neighbor. The
prince Of hypocritcs has found in him
his match.
SUPPOSE in the recent Presidential
election the Democratic party had been
an unit; that it had been based upon a
principle early ins,iiled into the minds
of its adherents, one that lowered far
above all political considerations Of the
day, and which in their estimation not
only lay At the very foundation of our
political government, but partook large
" Of divine nature, aud that that party
had succeeded in electlng its President ,
would our neighbor be willing to see his
party d'sntegrated, and its principles
violated for the sake Of gratifying the
unreasonable wish ot small minority
of the nation II not, then why does
he insist upon the Republicans acting
so unwiscly = Gazette.
Suppose white is black and black 10
white, and then suppose that neither is
either, what would our neighbor do
about it, A plain answer to this will
prevent = very sudden and probably
dangerous collision.
