have the advantage of the "Ouis:" fur instance,
the Abolitionists are in power and the Demo-
crafts ont but whether this will be the case
after we ssshuffle of this mortal coil,' and 90
to ''that undiscovered country from whose bourn
no traveller returns we cannot say. But we
are disposed at least, judging from the way that
most of the AboIitonists delight in the shedding
OF blood believe that the "Ins" viii st!.l be
! 'Ins," and the ''Outs" viii still be outs ''be
yonI the river'-that is the Abolitionists viii
be in the internal regicnsand the Democrats out.
And perhaps, things will be so reversed there,
that this viii be advantage-for, we once
heard an old gentleman say, that it was pity
they were not thera long ago: for said he,
'thoy would have had hell dissolved by this
time"
Now, in the goodness of our hearts. We GER
tainly do not wish them any such misfortune in
the great future, however much they may d.
serve it. But there IS salh thing as the ':Ins"
and ''outs" changing places on this ''munlanc
sphare;' and fou Abolition tygan:S would tlin!,
of this, they might, perhaps, be more mereiful
( 10 the ''Outs. Suppose now that thede.nocrats
should carry The next election for president and
/ have The power which the Gins" arc now nsin-
against them; and suppose that they were TO
use il as the Sins do by arresting every prom
iacnt man who would oppose them, and im;a.:-
ring him in dungeon. What would they think
of the proceedings! Suppose, too, that going
as far rs the '.Ins have already gone, they would
| prohibit from circulating through the mails tile
! Ne,c York ISaepthdeNt, the Emancpatioaist tic
the Tribune and Hd,pe,'s TFceI}y and send in
! to perpetual Punishment, such men as Ti!ton,
Grcely, Sumner, Wendell Philips and Henry
| Ward Bcecher and at the same time bring back
Va!!andigham, giving him an ovation in every
large town and city he passed through on hi<
way home--what W uid the las wAo would
! then be ''Oats'-think of it Now we want
them TO think of this, because, this is just what
Hicy have done and by looking at this picture
they can sec themselves in our mirror
30, il is exc Ilent
To have giant's strength but il Is tyranno1s
To use it like giant
! Nor are we certain that If the Democrats
| should get the power that they would not retail
late. 1t would he we'll therefore, for the Aboli-
! tonists not to ''treasure up wrath against the
day of wrath, for their power may not last for
ever; for
s.If we do but watch the hour
There never ye. was human power
WhIch coa,d evade if unfore given,
The patient search ard vigil long
or him who treasures up wrong"
says The p1et True they might have rights AMI
law to protect them but their acts have shown
that law and rigLt arc no protection against mil
itary power.
True, we do not wish tl;at this may be the
case, however much We may desire the success
of the Democratic party. Neither have we a
ny idea of advocating any such doclrne-~e
have only been endearorins TO stew them TRAN
selves, as they Will appear in fatu:s history
and as they appear to the civilized world nGw
We are sure thai any Republican or Abolition
Isl who has read the history Of lie woild, will
recollect how indignant he felt when he read of
the punishment of Aristites, ami the execution
of Sidney, EL.mett and the Polish and IIunga
rian martyrs, and how he scorned and perhaps
cursed the perpetrators Of those deeds. SO, IN
future, the honest reader of history will indig
nantly pour out his denunciations on the 'Butch-
cr of fredericksburg" and the great Procla-
mationist and Joker, who baniShed Ea,landiG-
ham, imprisoned thousands Of whites, and set
the 6tc's free These gentlemen may change
heiropinions, but 'they cannot escape history"
And let us remind them that then they will bc
The Gins" of history who viii be rcmemoessd
for their pcrfdy and baseness Of purpose.
