Gentlemen, this is the charge we have al
ways made. They do not understand what
it is to stand by the Constitution. And it
is for this very reason, as we assert, that
they have clothed our land in the mourn
ing of civil war broken down the guaran-
tees Of liberty, and loaded us with this
enormous burden of debt and taxation.
And yet repeat the advice, "stand by

Conservative politicians in that city, john
son and Sheridan We're made their candi-
dates for the next President and Vice Pres

NAL, as may seem to us most palatable, it
is well to recollect that "there seldom is
muc! smoke without some fire near, and
by" putting this and that together it is
pretty clearly shown, to all rational minds,
that there are elements ut work, caused by
interests not served, perhaps, which will
before long, make break in the Republi-
can ranks seriously endangering its exist

by the Military Commission which convict

of Congress on Wednesday he was tried
and convicted by Mr.. Coyode in the House
OF Representatives and for several weeks
past he has been on trial before Judge
Fisher, Mr.. Bingham of Ohio, and the
newspaper reporters. These last named
gentlemen, we think, might very properly
keep their hands off. and content them
selves with sending us plain accounts of
the evidence and incidents in the case, with
out discussing the bearings Of the testimo-

counsel are fully competent to take care of
all such matters, and the prisoner has

THE fUBLIc Square AGAIN.-A writer
in the last issue of the Times, undertakes
to bolster arp the action of the City Conn-
Gil in duplicating Mr.. Buell. to take pos
session ofeOur Public Square a. bury;ng
ground, and advocating granting permis-
sion to the family of the late Alexander
McGregor to use it for the same purpose.
We entertain.a high regard for the deceas-
ed McGregors and will do as much accord
ing to our means as any citizen Of Nc
Gregor, to pay them proper respect, but
We earnestly protest against the impropri-
ETY. and illegality of converting the Public
Square into burying place for either Of
them. The plea that it would be pr0iitas
hle to a few lot holders around the Public
Square to have the grounds embellished,
il not sufficient reason for diversion OF
the grounds from strictly dpubliedsses.
Nor can it justify usurpafion of the,au-
thcrities in an illegal disposition Of public
property, nor prevent any one interested
IA the public use of the property from
eaioining its appropriation to private uses.
It makes no odds who is to be buried or
what private use the ground is to be put
to, having been once dedicated to the pub
10 Il cannot and should not be diverted
from public uses except by consent Of the
