INTRODUCTORY.


Since the beginning of the war for the
maintenance of the Union and the suppress
sion of the rebellion, a great change has taken
place in the sentiments of larger portion of
the American people. The same copies of
the daily Journals that carried to the rural
districts the news of the attack upon Sumter,
also bore tidings of the sublime uprising in
the cities and towns to maintain the integrity
of the Union. All classes of men were
equally astonished at the unanimity of senti-
ment and feeling, the loyal Northerner no less
than the dsloyal Southerner. Eor a time
party organizations were lost sight of; all, to
outward appearance, were fused into the
Union" party. These appearances were,
doubtless, to certain extent deceptive, but it
cannot be questioned that a vast majority of
the people stood by the Government in favor
of the war. All questions of policy, even,
seemed. for the time. lost in that earnestness
! be expected that this unanimity of sentiment
could long continue: experience tells us it
has not. The extent of the present diversity
| of opinion is too we'll known to need definite
statement. The fact that Mr.. Vallandigham,
a consistent opponent of the war from the be-
4 ginning. is the Gubernatorial candidate of a
powerful party in the third State of the
Union, is shameful testimony to more
shameful fact
The causes that have wrought the change
set forth in the preceding paragraph VIII form
an interesting subject of inquiry to the histo,,
rian it is, indeed, of hardly less interest t,
those who have witnessed it. Should tht
men in whose opinions this change has occur
red be questioned as to its cause, the great ma
iority would unque<tionably answer: 1T il
owing to the unconstitutional and illega
course of the President; as examples we 9TH
respondenfs) cite the emancipation proclama
ton, the Illegal arrests, and similar manifesto
tions of arbitrary power.'' At least, the sub
stance of the opposition platforms and stum

Progress is the touchstone of revolutions;
but it does not accomplish itself in day, nor
dart forth as the lightning which illuminates
space. Nations gain freedom By degrees
Liberty widens, and the base of power extends
in proportion to the spread of Intelligence
Every evolution Of humanity brings outanew
idea, ard consecrates new rights: each has its
destiny to fulfill. The laws ought neither 10
rush in advance nor pass abreast of manners
for then they would bechimsras or assaults.

will be his last in Portland IL will thus be the last
opportunity offered to them of learning that Ian

Is the genuine French teacher when Swiss teachers
come out Partisan teachers because they have
spent their babyhood in Paris, as if ii mattered
much whether baby be born in Paris Geneva.
Since the baby born in Paris was brought in ten
der age into witzerland the home of his parents,
reared and educated there. More likely he had not
mastered the Partisan pronunciations when he left
France. Where did he acquire it? In what Col
lege did he study and graduatey These are the
queries a student ought to make if he wishes avoid
taking the brogue of the country in which such
teachers have been brought up and educated. A
thorough Frenchman only realize the difficulty
of eradicating an accent THUS acquired.
