Your cuppostion argument may be
met by another. Suppose evil is fore
seen, restraints provided, and means by
which it may be abolished and overc me;
but because man in the exercise of his
freedom rejects them, fails to secure the
end proposed; in that view evil is evil
but the Creators holiest ends are not
reached.
Whatever success the devil has had in
"secureing the positive sinfu'ness of all
men," he has not secured it without
man s universal consent, not as thelesult
of moral power in the devil but Of the
exercise of mans freedom, and with the
proper use of mans freedom, God could
not only sate all men, but would have
prevented his moral detection. But your
doctrine would make God responsible for
the existence and perpetuity Of moral evil,
even the devlism Of the devil; because
He would not doy what His moral power
would have enabled Him to do wthodt

" Gap in Hand

Two months after the firing on Fort SUM-
ter, the Richmond Wing said OF the North
ern people:
We must bring the enfrancbised slaves
back 10 their true condition. They have
long very properly looked upon themselves
as our social inieriOrs-as our serfs: their
mean niggerly lives. their low, vulgar and
sordid occupations, have ground the con-
victIon into them"
But the editor Of this journal. feeling bet
ter in spirits then than he does now. and
not having let off his bile. wrote that the
uprising Of the North had all the character
Of a - ferocious servile insurrection. and
he concluded his inferna. article:
This war will enable Us 10 restore them
10 their moral rdSSala9e, and teach them

Charles Sumner. in his speech in Fame
uil Hall, thus dissects the Chicago Plat
form:
The Chicago Platform may be seen in
two aspects-hrst, in what il does say. and
secondly. in what il does not say. There
are two things which il does say-irst. that
the war for the suppression OF the rebellion
is failure. and secondly, that there should
be a cessation Of hOst'lities. There are two
things which il does not say-arst. il does
not say anything against the rebellion.
and secondly. il does not say ANYTHING
against slavery. And candidates have been
nominated on this platform. In voting for
them you will affirm that the war has failed.
and that il ought 10 be stopped. while YOU
will decline 10 say anything against the re-
Deliion or against slavery. You will declare
that Grant has failed at VIcksburg and Rich
mOnd; that Sherman has failed al Atlanta
that Farragut has failed al New Orleans
and Mobile; that Winslow has failed against
the Alabama; and that Sherman has failed
IN the Valley Of the Shenandoah: and YOU
will further declare that all these heroes
should be arrested IN mid-career while
Democratic agencies take their place. and
rose-water is substituted for cannon balls.
Ana You VIII declare, also, that the rebel
lion shall prevail, and that slavery shall
continue to degrade our country, and be
the seed OF interminable war. All this you
Will affirm and declare by your votes.
80 II anything were needed 10 illustrate
the offensive character OF this platform il
would be found in efforts made 10 get away
from it-at least in this latitude Nobody
here is willing 10 stand upon II. The crv
OF the railroad conductor il transferred to
politcs-'it is dangerous 70 stand on the
platform Nobody has made greater ef-
forts 10 get away from il than the Presiden-
tial candidate Of the Democracy who for
gets that as a candidate he is born with the

twins are united together, 80 the two can
