For the News.
The Restoration of The Democratic
Party 10 Power No Cure for our
Troubles.
The would be organs Of Democratic
reorganization would have us to believe
that all the evils which our distracted
aud bleeding country is now suffering
have been brought upon US by the par
ty which placed Abraham Lincoln in
the Presidential chair. According to
these same authorities, all we have tn
do in order to restore peace, happiness
and prosperity, is to place power in the
hands of that section Of the Democra.
cy of which Vallnnligham, Mcdnrv.
Bright, VOORHEES,, and Fernando Wood
arc the recognized leaders.
Now let US ak ourselves seriously,
what we would be likely to gain by such
a change? Would they prosecute the war
with more vigor and success by placing
larger armies in the field and ADLER
Generals at their head? Is not our ar.
my already Offered by numerous Dem.
ocrats, from the General,n Chief down
to the lowest in command? IF it is true
as the "Address of Democratic
Members of Congress" afirms, that If
success then in n military point of
view be required, the Democratic party
alone can command it"-why is not
success commanded The President, in
order to disarm prejudice and harmon.
ize all parties, has been governed by
the broadest principles Of liberality in
the selection of his Cabinet advisers
and army officers.
The question recurs, what would the
nation gain by waiting for the restoration
OF the pro'slavery wing of the Democrat.
ic party to power? Would the purposes
and objects of the war be changed? Is
it likely that it would be condu cted
with more economy? Would fraud and
populations upon the Government" be
prevented? Does the past history of
the Democratic party justify any such
expectation?
Now, we do not suppose that a man
is necessarily corrupt because he is a
Democrat, and that he is pure and up.
right because he Processes Republi
canism. But other things being equal,
that man is more likely to be virtuous
in his private and public conduct, who
responds to the obligations of moral du
ty-who has right views Of his rsspon
sibility to God and man-who looks
upon our glorious Constitution as de
signed to secure and promote the liber.
ty aud happiness of the ,ohole people.
The Republican party is organised
upon principles recognising a higher
standard Of virtue and right in its po,
litical relations, thau any party that
has yet existed in this country. It's
motto is Ercssior." 1t was its mis-.
fortune to succeed tho most corrupt and
wicked Administration that has ever
existed in this country. The Republi.
Ca Administration has been compelled
to inherit much of the corruption and
demoralization of their predecessors,
they have had to operate with instru-
uents prepared to their hands and run
the machine as they foundit
But there is this marked difference
between the action of the old party and
the Republican party. The policy Of
the former was to whito-wash aud con
ceal, that Of the latter is to investigate
reveal and reform. The enormous

When living statesman or any Of
the great departed lights Of the nation
are tested in the crucible of patriotism,
how Insignificant all old party animosi-
ties and partisan prejudices against
them appear. The Nashville Union
most appropriately recalls the following
extract from letter of Andrew Jack.
son to james Monroe, which is pecu .
iariy proper to be quoted at the present
time, when reckless partisans are trying
TO distract the energies of the nation.
The letter was written in Nashville,
January 6, 1917.
"When l sec character with manly
hrmness give his opinion, bat when
overruled by majority, fly to support
that maj ojority, protecting the eagles of
his country, meeting every privation
and danger for love of country and
the security of its independent rights,
| care not by what name he is called,
l believe him to be a true American,
worthy of the confidence of his country
and Of every good man"
If Andrew Jackson had never said
or done anything else to prove his pa
triotism, this one significant scrt nee
would establish his claim. 1t en- bodi,
the whole duty of a citizen under u
republican form of government, and
shows the absolute necessity of not
merely submitting to the voice of the
majority, but of exerting every energy
in the cordial support of its measures
where individual rights and national Sc
curity arc at stake. Tennessee and
Virginia have greatly degenorated since
the above correspondence passed, and
jackson would now be regarded as u
recreant and traitor to his section, If
he did not with mad determination o.
pose that majority which is now pro-
tecting the eagles Of his country.-T Lou.

PEAcE.-Peace is better than iov.-
Joy is an uneasy guest, and always on
tiptoe to depart. It tires and wears us
out, and keeps us ever fearing that the
next moment it will be gone. Peace
is not so-it comes more quietly, it stays
more contentedly, and it never exhausts
our strength, nor gives US one anxious
forecnsting thought. Therefore let us
pray for peace.

A MoTHER's PRAYER

Father IN tho battle Fray,

Where the red hail deadlest falls,
Where stern duty loudest calls,
Where the strife is fierce and wild,
Father guard-oh guard my child
Where tho foe rush swift and strong,
1hdly striving for the wrong;
Where the ciashing arms men wiold
Ring above the battle field;
Where the sitting air is hot
With bursting shell und whl'tllng shot
Father to my boys bravo breast
Lot no treacherous blade be pressed,
Father II my woman's heart
Frsil and weak In ovory part
Wauders from the morGy seat
Alter those dear rowing feet,
Let thy tenier pitying grieo
Every selfish thought erase;
Ifthis mothers love be wrong,
Pardon, bless, and mako me strong
For, when silent shades OF night
Shut the bright world from my sight
When around tho cheerful FIRE
Gather brothers, sisters, sire
There I miss boys bright face
From, no old familiar place,
And my sad heart wanderS back
To tented field and blvouac.
Often in my troubled sleep
waking-wearily to weep
Often dreaming he is near,
Claiming every anxious fear,
Often started by the fash
ofhostils swords tina. meet and clash,
Till the cannon's smoke and oar
Hile him from my sis h nee morei
Thus dream and hope aud pray
Az Tho weary hours away
But know his cause is Just,
And centre all my trust
In thy promise: "Ast thy day
So shall thy strength be "---alwayi
Yet need thy guidance still
Father lot me do thy WIFI

Torn, and quivering with the smart,

"I'm union, Bat no Abolitionist. y

"Tm Union, but no Abolitionist."
The St Louis Evening News, which
has to deal in its locality with rebels, as
we'll as sympathiEcrs with rebels, talks
as follows to both classes:
Pin a covert rebel to the wall, he will
try to escape by exclaiming-"I'm Un-

all balderdash. You are a rebel sir, and
you know it, but too cowardly to aVow

nonymous terms, bat you are accused
Of being n traitor, and to escape that
odium you plead not guilty to another
and a very different accusation.
1t is high time that men of intelli.
genco should drop this species of spe.
cial pleading, aud offer some more
tangible cxcuse--for it is nothing but
an excuse-for their disloyalty. When
you resort to such subterfuge, it is evi.
dent the treason is in you. An honest
confession is not only good for the soul.
but under all circumstances, better than
a S'e. To attempt thus to play off on
Union men only excites their contempt
for your duplicity. In word, you are
as bad as the Pharisee who rested his
claims, not upon his own merits, bus
upon the fact that 6e was not as bad as
somehodyelse. Far better confess your
sin, like the Publican, aud ask to be for.
given on your own merits, than to base
your claim upon the cowardly AypothS-
sis that Abolitionists are worse than

Some forty years ago, there resided
in one of the eastern townships of Yer
mont, an old Scotohman, notorious for
his irreligion, but especially for disre.
regard Of the truth. Being taken dan.
gerously i'll, in his alarm he sent forth.
with for the minister, who was also a
Scotchman, and who knew the old man
well. AS soon as he saw the sick man,
he aceosted him with, "Weel, Mr.. Nc D.
ye'rO very sick, but do ye think that If
the Lord should spare your life at this
time, ye would afterward tell the truth?"
"Aye, parson G." said the old man,
"and more too"
The following characteristic anecdoto
Of this same old Scotch divine. is rela.
ted in Vermont to this day. On Ger.
tain Sabbath, Mr.. G. had reached about
tho middle Of his sermon when there
arose some stir in the congregation. oc.
cnsioned by the arrival of somewhat
noted gentleman and his wife, who re.
sided some twelve miles away in q
neighboring town, and who owing tc
the bad state of the roads, were thus
late to the Kirk. The old gentlemau
paused until all was sill, and then in
stead Of proceeding with his sermon
remarked: "E'en as DR.. A. has come
well just turn back, and begin again.
And sure enough he did commence a
the beginning, and the congregation
were obliged to listen, with what grac,
they might, to repetition of the frs
half of the discourse. Sermons in thos,
days we're something more than ffteer
or even thirty minutes in length, anC
this therefore detained them 50 late, tha
night had set in before DR.. A. and BIZ
wife could reach home.

The placid confidence in the faithful
ness of their slaves, which the Rebels
lose no opportunity of impressing upon
our minds, is transparent falsehood
else why did the Confederate Govern
ment some time since decree that every
negro found with arms in his hands
should be Immediately shot All black
men accompanying the Union army who
are taken prisoners are at once sold in .
to Slavery. Nothing but the fear of
the North prevents them from selling
white prisoners also.

The late orders Of our military au.
thorities are having the effect of dis.
closing great many surprising natural
facts in connection with our people
One is, that the years 1915 and 1916
were unusually productive of children
while the two succeeding years, 1917
and 1918, yielded extremely few, at least
of the masculine gender. The conse
quence is, that we have n great many
men among us aged forty We and forty.
six, and very few aged forty three and
forty -four. Another is, that those bodi.
y deficiencies and Affections which dis
qualify men for soldiers. have been
rather sorViceable to them in the 0rdin
airy pursuits aud duties Of life. An un.
usual number of these, carrying on ex
tensive business, and possessed Of abun
dant means, are procuring exemption

in some localities, there is scarcely a
father of large and interesting family
who is not cripple. Tho strangesi
effect, however, has been produced up.
on certain bachelors. From being
young, many have been most suddenly
TUNED old. Many, after having long
remained stationary upon the banks oi

the cool deep waters, "afraid to launch
