The Lesson of the Ell ctioll.

A smart rebuff is often scryircabe to re-
move superf,uous sclf-conccit. The Republic
can Party of this State met with such rebuff
the 9th inst and we think some of its conceit
has been taken out of II. The Party was or
g;Inizcd on the modest principles of human
rights, and political liberty. BY boldly advo-
eating those principles, it has. carried success
I'VE elections by increasing ma joritics. 1t had
heretofore commanded The unlimited conf
aenec Of the people, and mcritcd it, but lately
we fear, ii had begun to forget that the people
loved it because of It's principles of liberty and
right. 1t had begun TO think that it did not
depend Oh the people, that the people were
bound to sustain it, no matter how reckless and
negligent its leaders might be.
Congress, secure in its large majority, has
never seemed to think 1t possible for that ma.
joriy 10 b. reduced. 1t has been content with
ha!i-wa, measures in too many instances, and
even those half measures have been bunglinglv
passed 1t has paid too little attention TO the
pressing needs Of the country fora settled tinan-
cial policy. 1t has not troubled itself much to
correct the manifest unnecessary expressions
of our system of taxation. And finally it has
Numbered SO sadly and SO long over "recon-
structiou, that the people begin to despair of
seeing the end of the matter this gencration.-
Whose fault is it. that Andrew johnson is
still able to defy the loyal people and hinder
reconstruction: We call upon Congress to read
the lesson of Sep. 9th, that it must go on UNI
tiinehingly in its work OF establishing law and
order OH the basis of liberty and equality.
The Party in this State was getting lit 10
putied up. Some thought il could impo> upon

arquicsced in by all parties, they carclc>>ly un-
dertook to stretch the principle 10 lis utmost
tension. They shocked the paDlic sense by
re ival of the praconian code.
We call upon the Legislature TO read the
lessen that the State cannot be well governed
by laws that are ppt >uppo rtcd by public scnti-
ment,-ttat cruel and unusual irinishm MS

In g..
In this County, we have learned who are
true Republicans from principle, who are en-
titled to the confidence of TIL Party, and also
who were so little in sympathy with the Party
as TO turn against it in the hour of lis need.
The rebuff of Sept O. will do us all good.

The Organ itself is very handsome and well

cost of Sia9). The Scheme is "A, " and there
are eight stops, among which are the Dulcianu
or Nox Hermona, and the Flute. These latter
are peculiarly sweet in thor tonc, clear and
soft as the notes of the feathcred songsters.
All the tones of the organ seem distinct and
musical.
