as dulcet solace to sorely taxed yet
foolishly patriotic people. II bread is
high, and meat is high. and coal is high,

this irritating altitudiuosity will be phi

when tits fully compretended that the
elevation Of prices is altogether OCCASION
ed by misunderstanding" The conse-
quences are tremendous, but the cause
was mere bagatelle. Families little
pinched will find this view exquisitely
soothing, although we cannot hope very
warmly that it will induce traders to
mark down their goods. When we hear
of its having that lowering effect upon
markets generally, We engage to publish
the exhilarating intelligence without the
loss Of single moment.
To be sure, we ourselves have not yet
been able to take the Democratic view.
Due reflection rather than else leads us
to look in the opposite direction. We
are skeptical sbout that same" misunder-

that there never was a war in the world

We assign these causes We are not un
mindful that bli0d, unreasoning and
reckless hatred Of the North may have
been the leading influence. But putting
all these causes together, we get al
nothing which can palliate the Rebellion.
A State which will not reason, which
will rush upon ruin. which will permit
itself to be grossly deluded, cannot come
into court and plead in bar o: the indict
ment that it perjured itself through a
misunderstanding"
At the North, our ideas Of public duty
hsve been peculiarly clear and distinct,
and we need not recapitulate then .
When Convention, great or small, takes
upon itself to charge millions of men
with idiocy. or lunacy. purblind stupidity,
or incapacity to act as good and intelli-
gent citizens. that Convention cannot
expect those who are sligmatized TO vote
for its candidates. About that matter
there can be no possible "misunderstsud-
