The Revolutionary Party-Its End.
aaT The present. condition Of asfairse an .this
country is of the most ephemeral nature.
Especially may We say 80 Of this State
which is placed under the authority % men
;mported from northern States, who, with
few exceptions, are unknown and without
merit, and who, it may be vel suspecteds
are the better off for being nnknowni
It is altogether impossible that there can
be anything like spermanency i'm the pre-
sent state Of things. Undera violent party,
born amidst revolution, and fred with
the revolutionary rage, q policy has been
pursued entirely hostile to the peace and
harmony Of the country. Begotten Of SEQ
tional hate, II relies upon the continuation
Of that hate, in all its bitterness Tor the
perpetaationrofi its own existence. So that it
loses no opportunity to infuse into it life
and vigor-and permits none Of the lines
which during the war separated the nation
to be obliterated. but keeps them deeply
engraven. at
OF course nation cannot have peace and
be at war !; aud tits therefore impossible
that revolutionary party, whose existence
depends upon the continuation Of the spirit
and passions which marked o war, can exist
after the war is ended.
With the death of such party must ex-
~pire it's passionate and relentless polic1esS
and also must the wrongs Of such policies
be redressed. 1t is essential to the peace OF
the lately alienated divisions Of the nation
that there should be the equilibrium OF az
equal and justly-administered government
to heal their discussions and restore their
reciprocal feelings of kindness. -. ~ II /
A necessity SO overwhelming must, by
proyidential 5dispensation, be met. de-
mand 50 indispensable for the order and
very existence Of a, nation must be sup
piled. s.s,s =. lt.lsg = s.-.s-go !..-2s :.
Therefore we look upon the present as
the most ephemeraI Of oil the periods OF
the history of this nation twill be en-
tirely changed in q few years, and those
men who have been most conspicuous in
tanning the expiring embers of sectional
ism, who have endeaEoredz to hold office
and aprolong authority by rchsrishing the
distinctions Of war, will be consigned to
lower condition in public contempt than
has beenireached by any class Of men
in. amy Of the transmutations of party in
the past times Of the Republic. - ~
This country is too grand, and it is in
habited by too noble a race, to be perma-
nently degraded to the uses and purposes Of
corrupt party which rests entirely upon
passion and sectional prejudice. Werethe
race of people wanting in the nobler attri-
butes of our nature the country itself would
inspire them with spirit and majesty ,sufi-
cient to hurl from power a body Of men who
would so abuse its mighty advantages and
blessings. - sas'zsl.z z5.aa
The generation now living will see o:
revolution thus naturally and providen-
TALLY inevitable. They will have the inf
mite satisfaction of seeing wretches who
now hold places for which they are not
fitted by experience or honesty persons
oppressively and tyrannically imposedupon
people who loathe them-driven to the OBJ
security and disgrace to which their corrup-
tions and vices will most justly consign
them. There are not few of such men
placed over this unfortunate State They
will be the peculiar objects ofpublic oppro-
brium. They will descend the lower from
having hectored and .domineered in oil
their yulgarity, rapacity, and dishonesty
over the most renowned Of all the States.
If there be in their corrupt hearts o spark
of sensibility to the instincts of shame
they will call upon the mountains to fall
upon them and hide them from the light
which they cannot bear to look uponi
