health. II must be accounted tor, II not
hardened on the score of a natural
peryersity which will not allow us to

defeat: wilful unregeBeracy which
prevents us, on this day, from recogniz'
lns virtue and beauty and unparalleled
perfection ia those political clements
which. upon every other day of the
year (Sundays excepted), we declare to
be filed with evil, abOmiRation, pesti'
lrnce aud death. Probably under that
infinite wisdom which compnsseth far
higher aims aud more solemn purposes
,Ls those Of mortal ken, the political
affections Of this nation may be finally
instrumental in the achievement OF
greater good than weuld have been
possible bad they been avcrted, bat IL
by uO mraus follows that 1T is either
tbrpart of common sense or Christian
duty To recognize those aLillctlonS as
blessings of the first and finest magnl-
tudr Our chief consolation is that
cLastisemeut is prOofOf PrOrIdeAtial
love. but to insist that the Chastise-
mrut itself is an extremely sweet and
refreshing exercise, would be to Ge-
s'rey the only remaining evidence of
that affection which We hope has been
manifested.
1t may be that the wsost solution of
the difficulty is to Danish, as far as pos
sible, these present evils from consider
alton and dwclonly upon the good that
m'tisatrs their rigor. Suspend judg-
mrut upon politics, whose ways after
all areiuscrutable, and rejoice over the
manifold blessings that surround US in
tangible and comprehensive form. For
get the differences that divide the par
ties aud remember only the ties that
bind together the creatures and subjects
OF The Sovereign of all. Happily the
character aud habits of our people tend
directly to this result. In the few
short weeks or months of a campaign,
lie ranks Ofpolitical organizations are
uATshalled, drilled and disciplined;
'ley march, they labor, they struggle.
but with the close of the fight comes
not only the cessation of hostilities, bat
