s.r1ME AND TIDE


are ever on the alert for tide waiter situa-
tons, have a full represention on this
coast. Beaten, they bolt; nominated OF
appointed to Office, they are the most
strenuous of howlers for regular proceed
ings. Barring triumphs on the part OF the
Copperheads, We had rather have a square
opponent succeed, than a man who as
sumes to fraternize in our feelings, politi-
cally, and with u party, while he eVl-
IDENTIFY hinges all his devotion o those feel
ings and that party on his success IN the
ranks. 1t annot be that such a man has
a very exalted idea of the present issues
not a very adequate conception OF what
are involved in present civil contests. AS
our Virginia contemporary, the Un'0'' his
morning suggested, the war is not over IN
a thorough sense. The domestic diplo-
macy of the country-so to speak-has
yet to be fully exercised for the settlement
of all the difficulties" originating with
and growing out of the great contest.
When reconstruction has fairly taken
place, when Peace may, in its complete
sense, be said to be established, then, and
not till then, cau VIC afford to permit (if
ever the Constitutional Punchers for Of
fee to appropriate and segregate all the
official" domain. If one will stop and
think of it-who would not give more for
a person Of known and clear conviction
and energy, in place and power, though
not, perhaps, the most friendly Of personal
acquaintance, than see place and power
in the keeping of unreliable, complacent,
obsequious all-sidess Coming down to
the nerve and marrow Of judgment as a
responsible citizen-sovereign Of this COM
monwealth and country, and we feel as
sured the majority Of u people will put
out of regard, for at least some time to
come, all considerations as to high po-
sitions and the aspirants therefor which
are not confomable TO this intimated rule
for fitness, outside Of all local and personal
desires and affiliations. But not the less
will it be true that we shall all be glad
when we can sincerely endorse and push
the favor Of our neighbor, whom we know
is worthy on the basis and standard Of
uprightness and decision of character.
The time is surprisingly important. 1t is
the epoch in our country's history. The
future Of the country is to be mapped
within the coming four years. The tide
Of war has thrown up as rotten driftwood
an immense cargo Of military bilks and
political pot-wrestlers. We have all
learned more as to "men and things"
within the last quartette Of years than
ever before was dreamed of in the Nations
philosophy. Its becoming that the mat
tiers whereof We have been taught, be
taken Out Of heart and laid new to SOL
emn practice. 1t is a question right here:
whether Nevada shall be within q few
years the most ~populous as well as richest
State in the Union, OF remain in all re-
spects the most Insignificant member Of
the Republic. 1t will not be by mere,
persistent bawling about our " resources"
that We shall grow in strength, as We
ought; it certainly will not be by the
efforts of champions for whipped scoun-
drels and effete issues that we shall obtain
the recognition and aid we so much need
for the development Of our land and the
general comfort and prosperity Of peo-
pie. A benefcent and generous Govern
ment, committed to n grand scheme for
internal improvement, Of infinite conse-
quence to US in all its bearings, is ready,
on proper representation, to do all that
we could ask in reason for the "opening
up" Of the mineral regions Of the West,
by establishing rapid communications and
demonstrating authoritatively the abun-
dance of the precious ore deposits this
side of the Rocky Mountains. A repre-
sentation in full harmony with the policy
of the Administration, unsupported even
BY q third cousin-remove of sympathy
with treason-sympathizers, long acquaint.
ed on this Coast, consistent and judicious
such a representation, unitedly acting,
will inaugurate our march to unparalleled
commercial greatness among the sister,
hood Of States.
