The changes 6pprcheuded are too lar.reach-
ing in their tendency to admit Of definite
foresight and fore warning. Tho greatest
. danGers however, are to be feared in these
two respects.
We must guard against them all, by eve
ry means in ourpGwer. In order 10 do this

Parties will arise soon enough without any

Gus 10 republican soil When questions of
pith aud reality divide MS me .itably let it
be so; but We have suffered too much al
ready from partyism and demagoguery to
fall into the snare again soon. Our fellow
citizens should not now seperate themselves
from each other, and band themselves into
parties upon the issues, and shades Of diff
ference, existing before and during the
war. SeGossionists and war men are enti-
tied 10 the respect of their former oppon-
cuts. because they have most bitterly prov
en- their faith by their works, and because
they really did opresent the instincts Of
the manhood Of their country. Union men
and anti war men are entitled to respect,
because their principles have been verified
and their predictions realized by the result
OF the contest. -----------
And personal differences and grievances,
with which the country is doubtless full
at the present time, should be rs nearly
healed or ignored rs practicable. NO man
ever adds to his honor or happiness by the
pursuit of personal revenge; on the con
trary, he degrades his own character, plants
thorn in the pillow ofhis peace, and loses
the confidence and sympathy Of his fellow
men. A man may always 90 far enough
to protect himself from injury, but he can
rightfully 60 no farther. But nyalleged
injuries are more fanoied than real, arising
more from our morbid sensibilities than
from the deliberate malice Of our enemies,
are often more provoked by orr own con-
duet than willfully inflicted by others; aud
it is frequently the case that we have more
wrongs to repent of in ourselves than to
complain of in our neighbors. But even
in cases Of past grieyOus and painful per-
soual injuries, piety, magnanimity, honor,
and the good Of the country require that
We should let them sleep rather than stir
up those personal and family feuds, which
cal result in nothing but evil to all con-
cerned. Let US be united people, and
work together to repair the damages Of the
war, and to make the looked for changes
productive of rs lttle evil and as much
good as possible. Let us have faith in the
divinity that shapes our ends, rough-hcw
them MS we may There is a divine prov
idenco in history, Notwithstanding the de-
feat of our aims and the disappointment of
our hopes. The philosophy of this proyi-
dencc should be cur study, and its benig-
nance though yelled for time by clouds
of adversely, chould be our steady trust,
the basis OF onr hope, and the inspiration
