The Conservation Law.

Because Democrats object to the cons.-
nationality Of this law, and therefore pro
test against several of its provisions, tsey
are constantly accused Of being in favor Of
resisting its enforcement. Our opponent,
know but little of the spirit of Democracy
when they make these charges, for one of
it. fundamental principles is to o5,y all
laws until By their votes at the ballot, box
they fecrre the repeal Of those most oh :
no1ious to liberty and good government.
While We claim Tho Ugh. TO condemn
and eensure every &C, Of .be Administra-
ton subversi.e of the Constitution, and
will at all times SO censute and condemn
every violation Of tina. sscrsd instrument,
We have bu, one remedy to correct the
evil, and that is By ballots. The Oshkosh.
Courier explains our party principle in ,bi.
respect faithfully as follows:
"rhe CONSUMPTION lsw will .fflict the
people with ,nany and terrible evils froc'
which We can see ne immediate prospect
OF escape. Under It's operations, men will
be forced from their families aud friends,
their homes and business, aud sen; away
to the war, many Of them never to return ::
or to return with crippled limbs. wasted
health. or broken constitutions. Families
once united and happy, will be hroksn up
and scattered, and the land will be filed
with the widows AID orphans of'ho.e who
have fallen in battle, or died in the hosri
tails. But these evils are the unavoidable
cencomitAnts of all wars, and especially Of
war OF the magnitude and duration Of
,ha, in which va arc now involved. And
these evils, great as thew are, we ha? bet
ter bear, than to ly to others we know not
Of, By resisting the constituted authorities
and thus insugurating bloody civil CON
vulsion. " bich will involve the whole com
munity in untold misery and ruin"
