all past times have gone through before as,
Extreme remedies will not cure the disease.
Some Southern politicians pretended to be
alarmed at the signs Of the times, and re-

Now, if one desires 10 aggrayate ard
perpetuate this state of things, adopt Law
less and unconstitutional remedies Play
the part OF Mexico-isstie pronuHciamen-

Such experiments have been tried in tho
world, and always ended, unless under ac-
cidental circumstances, the same way--in
arhitr-y government or anarchy, as in
Mexico 1t is heroic tO resist wrong by the
sword, and gefteraly as unwise as heroic.
This government is one of. the people,
1t We expect the people to act wisely, it j.
necessary to have patience. The people
are not ;nfallble, They must have time
and experience to get right. If patience
will not avail, with free speech, a free press,
and free elections. then we shall have to
confess a. last that popular government is
failure and what good will revolution do,
but to hasten anarchy or despotsm2 a"
This revolutionary party North must
have some excitement. They must nuke

We need not expect the party, flushed

tering themselves with virtues and merits
they do not po' to have wisdom; they
can succeed only by the to'ly of other peo-s
