any positirs strength, arocsdiy founded in
hostility to the leading idea, sentiment and

And. moreover, it will be impossible. for
years to come. for party, having any
such principle of hostility latent in its
creed. or shsdowing its plans or theories
with any entertained suspicion. to have
any name or place outside of small and
isolated communities. There will be ALI

in command of military districts. But in
no State as Stste-we doubt # there
may be in any county as a county-North
or South, will there be majority party

thoughts, or having an ultimate purpose
of hate toward the institutions f liberty.
Nor. in the settlement and restoration Of
national affairs is there likely to occur, in

management, events leading and contribu-

life through the acts of real justice of the
Chief Executive of to-day. Very we'll we
know that the Copperheaas of the North
will seek pretext for political concert of
action, under some title, by some schedule,
in opposition to the loyal and the honest
citizens of the country. The spirit Of ma.
Lightly toward Freedom will not die out
with the ignominious death of the arch
6end Davis. But vain will be the search
for terms or time in which to harmfully
manifest that spirit, in mere political
movements, when the Ledger of this Re

they deserve the scorn Of the loyal or need
