liz IS c0mmenda0le practice Of many news
paper editors place at the head of their editorial
columns pithy extracts from the speeches of the
most distinguished opponents of the principles
they advocate. 1t serves to keep the leading
ideas of POLITICAL organizations prominently be-
fore the public so that the people may have no
excuse for msapprehension. We recommend to
the Republican press of Indiana to adopt the
the practice, and have selected for them few
brief extracts for their benefit, as follows:

identical questions, as to terms of intercourse,

lection and endurance of our political fabric de
pend.

necessary. to maintain this provision of the Con-
stitution against all attempts to violate it,
