plack on the first Monday in June next, to

county convention for the purpose of ap-
pointing seventeen delegates to attend a
judicial nominating convention at Genesee
ON the 2lst inst, and asking that the repub.

Down on Your Knees

1t is pretty hard for people accustomed
for nearly a century to live under self
made laws, to become used to the rule of
force. We understand why fanatic like
Thad Stevens threatens his subdued fellow
citizens with new calamity whenever they
think they have swallowed the last drop of
bitterness, and why domineering body OF
legislators never pronounce their last and
final conditions of peace, but that men who
have only to execute law are studous OF
enforcing 1t in the most arbitrary, provoking
and capricious manner denotes degree OF
servilism to the ruling party which we would
never have imagined compatible with Amer

In the south had not convinced us of its ex
istence. Their power, though only very re-
Gently established, has already assumed the
character of the most venomous and lnveter.
ate despotism. 1t is no longer that absolute
rule which knows no bias in obedience tc
any law, and which insists on its strict en-
forcement, but it has already assumed thai
shape of tyranny which always appears IL
history under the unmistabable signs of in
sanity. Tacitus made study of the manic
tyrannOruna. King Louis, of Bavaria, wa;
insane when he ordered that whoever by
words or tests offended the royal majesty

depreeate the offense or be imprisoned for
life. And, the Austrian emperor was insane
when he had his cap raised upon high
pole and threatened with immediate death
anybody who neglected to uncover the head
at the sight of that symbol of tyranny.
Was it species of insanity working in
the mind of General Sickles when he order
ed, not that a fire company parading a
Charleston should carry a United States flae
in their procession, but that every partici
pant in the procession when approaching
the flag should, at distance of three steps
be compelled to salute it by taking off hi:
hat or cap? We abstain from commenting
upon this curious abuse of power in a com
mander, waiting for the time when possibly
some one of the five military proconsuls, in
a spirit of emulation to Guido Gen1 Sickles
may nail the picture of a woolly head on the
front door of some southern court house, and
and require the whites as token Of then
submissiveness to negro equality, to bow
down before such new emblem Of modern
