Prescription.

We do not, as a general thing, be-
llove IN prescribing a man for opinion
sake, but we think there are times when
it is not only proper but absolutely uec-
essary for tho party in power to expel
from office those no are hostile to its
policy. This practice Of dcbarring men
from government patronage, simply be-
cause they belonged to the opposite par
ty, has been pursued BY all parties in
power; and very frequently to an extent
that would be extremely iudicrous were
it not that it SO often proves injurious to
the public interests
The present administration, in com
moa with all that have preceded it, las
been much abused for its use of the pro
scrlptlvc power, but with far less reason,
for, while there has been moro call for
the use Of the power, in some directions.
it has been used more sparingly by this
than by many former administrations
| We have not reference 50 much to the
/ prescription Of men of opposite political
views and lanes, as to that Of men who
have been bitterly opposed to the admin
1stratlon IN Its efforts TO crush the rebel
| Ion. Too many Of the latter class have
been permitted to hold cfI,es of trust
and profit under the government; and
they have not failed to use their power
and position to the detriment Of the cause
OF the government.
1t is really surprising how many rebel
sympath:zars have frsm time 10 time been
found among the clerk of the different
departments at Washington. Although
there has occasionally been q clearing out.
yet it is evident that somo still remain.
a correspondent Of one Of the New
Y DIRK papers, says that not LONG since
friend Of bis was an unwilling listener to
conversation between two gentlemen at
Wizards Hotel. One of them was very
strong in his condemnation Of the oev- /
eminent, and was soon heard TO saw.
" Well, for one, [ don't care who tri- T
umphs, and don't care how the war ends" .
This man. it was ascertainad, is a clerk
in one Of the departments Think of
man holding an important office under
government fol the existence of which
he has SO little concern
For d long time secrets Of the
War Department have leaked out in
some way, and who knows but this man,
or just such another, has some responsible
post there? The administration, IN JUS
tice to itsetand to the cause, ought to
enforce the most rigid prescription in ali
the departments. No man ought to be
allowed position anywhere who has the
least taunt Of dis!oyality upon him. Bet
ter that loyal man should sometimes
lose position, than that one traitor
should remaia in a place where he can
10 mischief. There are plenty Of loyal
men to be had, and this is no time to
Tally with traitors, and show latitude 10
raltorous principles.-Daily Wisconsin.

LSOEx Al0ft.

War IS terribIe-yet all ages, all coun-
tries have been scourgod or purified by
its terrible presence. We, too, must be
scourgei BY the unholy rebellion. There
IS no use in looking back-we must press
forward to glorious destiny. To the
despondent, the New York Independent
utters some hopeful aud truthful words.
Two years have now passed. says that
paper, since the outbreak of the pro-
slavery rebellion.
The first gun at Fort Sumter shocked
the entire nation. Business in all quar-
tiers was suspended, and the whole ma
ton stood aghast-pauic-stricken with
establishment. Capitalists were alarmed
and the whole commercial community
rotreated from their life activities like
doves to their windaws before the whlrl
and roar of tornado. Failures occur
red, and fortunes built, it was supposed,
upon 4 rock, were dashed to pieces in
day. Sadness and mourning were al
most universal. OaIy those who had
faith in God dared to hope anI to smile.
The country was in debt eighty millions
Of dol2Grs, and our Copperhead -poIiti
clans were already beginning to talk of
bankruptcy and ruin.
Now began expenditures on a scale
probably unparalleled in the history of
the world. Well-the tornado has ragged
for two long years, and where are we ?
Whence have we drifed What awful
calamity has befaIcn us How do we
stand to-day Thank God, we are a
stronger, richer, more powerful, and
more prosperous people than ever be-
fore.
Instead Of being bowed down, we
stand erect, more thoroughly indepen-
don't, than any nation on the face of the
earth. Are our business interests suffer
ing ! No. Are our manufacturers at
rest with folded arms ? No. Are our
merchants lettering and failing No.
Is money scarce ? Ne. Are the poor
without work ! No. Is there q scarci-
" Of 10 ID No. Has any awful dis
ease swept through the land Is the
government without credit ? No. Is
there alarm in any quarter No-ex-
eept among the lineal descendants and |
followers of Benedict Arnold. Have
the people lost heart No no-a
thousand times-No
What have we now to do . Shall we
arise and go forward ? With one voice
the people say yea "ni amen IT'S true
another thousand million will probably
have to go. IT'S true we have nothing
in prospect but debt and freedom. It's
true now, as ever before, that anv price
Of treasure and blood will be freely paid
for that precious inheritance which we
seek.
Let Us onco more clasp hands before ,
God, united armed host for liberty
fearing 10 loss Of property, no CONNER
,ial panic, no financial disaster-nothing
,ut the displeasuie Of the King of kings
md Lord Of lords.
