THE RooT OF THE EVIE.
There Is no cause for surprise in this onea
ccnvulaion By which the Republic i
shaken to its foundation. The signs Of th.
cosning disaster, which all men now re

The Republic has nursed q serpent in its
bosom, del1ding itself with belief that it
would not bite. 1t has quafed poison.

would destroy BY contact, It has handled
fire, and, like child, believed it would

taught that the buying and selling of
men, women and children was the
highest achievement Of Democracy, and
of Christianity, say the blind teachers Of
orthodox Atheism, which denies God in
his creatures, The halls of Congress and
the political conventions have reseunded
with The axioms of despotism yelled under
devotion to party; and the pulpit where
the sets of Congress and the doings ,of
politicians should be measured by the
standard of eternal truth. has re-echoed
the slang of tie hastings, and dressed IN
anew with tricky phrase and theo.oeica1
