Courage 2u Council.

We think our Legislators in some cases maui.
ies. distrust Of ,hr spirit Of tho people, fol
which there is no warrant in fact OF one
thing they may be assurod-the people will
no. only bear, bat they ardently desire, any
call upon lhcn which is necessary to the sue
c,sshh and energetic prosecution Of the war.
There need, therefore, be no Legislative timdity.
Strike wisely, but stIikA boldly The symPa'

celtic in coupcii Jackson won his great popu-
larity by b.ing AL resdy to assume the re-
sponsib.si,5 in the council chamber. as he

when legislators hesitate, and fear to act, lest
the people might not spprove, they suggest,
and go far towards creating. that very
discortcnt which they fear. Whatever is
necessary to The great end Of sll our
present cxorticns should be adopted and
should be adopted boldly! The people
will applaud it Even if theTa WAS disI'osi,
lion among u.s. outside Of the professional
fault finders, to question such acts ot the gov
ernment, l. little audacity Of legislation is far
more likely to eserawe.t than that timidity
Which heRitates and suggests doubts and diff
