pntY to tlle Government.

OuIY TO the government.
It Is the duty of all good citizens to sus-
tain their Government. They owe it to
themselves and families to do so, for the
Government must be made strong enough
to enforce its own laws, else there is no pro-
lection for life aud property. The law of
self-deiense-that great first law OF nature
requires one to assist in strengthening the
"powers that be-" so they may in return
be able to yield protection to those who look
to them for it,
We like that toast of brave old Amer
lean commodore "Our country-msy she
always be right but, our country, right or
wrong" This is the only safe rule of
action, for if we follow any other, every
man sets himself up as judge of the JUS
tice of any given measure, and in this way
there can be no unity of action. Impoten-
cy in the government and all its accom-
panying ills must be the result. We had
better have a strong government if it is a
little stringent, than weak and powerless
one.
Before the Mexican war, many of the
Wing party opposed it becauseth they thought
it was unjust toward weak nation. But
when war was declared, the party, with a
few Individual exceptions, laid aside their
objections 10 it, and many of its prominent
men promptly volunteered and went to
Mexico. There were probably as many
Wings as Democrats in the army. Party
questions were laid aside, and Wings forgot
how the war was made, and that there was
a Democratic President who called for their
services. 1t was sufficient for them to know
that the country was involved in war, and
they cheerfully acknowledged their duty to
help her out of it.
The country is now involved in war and
engaged in putting down a formidable re-
bellion against the lawful authorities 1t ia
the duty of oil good citizens to help the
Government through. This, we are glad
to see, is the disposition in the North amongst
men of all parties. The people of the North
are generally sound on the question of main
tanning the Union and sustaining the au-
thorltles. The enthusiastic and Spontane-
GUS military preparations going on prove
this. Nothing so heartfelt and earnest bas
been seen since the days of the Crusades.-
The men who falI to support the govern
ment now, will see the day when they will
feel like calling on the mountains to cover
them and thus hide their shame from the
reproaches OF an indignant people. The
public disfavor which has attended the
Federalist5 who opposed the war of 1912
and were accused of giving aid and comfor;
to the enemy in time of war, is but faint
type of the execration which will be heaDed
in future on those who now turn their back:
on the government of their country. 1t il
the political death of any Northern man tt
do SO. .-

STABBIEG AFFAIR On Saturday, as Capt
Thomas Ashby and Sile Weed were sitting
together in Gavitfs Livery Stable on Main
street near the Canal, Capt. Ashby play
fully pulled Weeds hat by the brim, and
was told by ". to let it alone, as it was all
he had. A few words passed in apparent
good humor on both sides, when Ashby
again pulled Weeds hat playfully down
upon his head. Whereupon, Weed pulled
out pocket knife with a blade about Eve
inches long and made pass at Ashby, the
weapon entering just below the right groin
and striking the thigh bone. He struck
again, and the blade entered the abdomen,
a little above the left groin, the latter
being a very painful, and it is feared fatal,
wound Captain Ashby was carried to DR..
John T. Walkers Office and thence home
in the sonth- eastern part of the city
Weed gave himself up into the custody
of Sheriff Gavitt, who was present, remark
ing, "I'm your prisoner" When asked
why he made so unprovoked an attack, he
intimated that he was induced to do it on
account Of some old grudge. Capt. Ashby
remarked afterwards that he couldn't imag-
inc why Weed stabbed him, for he thought
he was a good friend of his Weed is now
in jail We have understood that liquor
was TO blame as usual in this deplorable af-
fair.
Capt. Ashby is a well known river man,
though now interested in mercantile es-
Establishment on the Landing. He is very
popular man, and anything but quarrel
some. Weed is a painter. We refrain
from speaking the common feeling on this
subject, ms it will come before court before
long.
