& SERIOUS QUEsTTOE

! IN tae article when We copy from Il e
| Kilbourn City Ntrr0r, there is an ally
sion TO discussion quite general IN the
State papers in regard to Nr. Carpenters
/ personal habits and associations as having
a bearing upon the decision Of the Senn,
,oriaI question. We have avoided the
unpleasant subject heretofore, though by
no means considering it unimportant
Two weeks since We stated that our prin,
cipal objection to Mr. Carp enter was, that
we were not fully satisfied that he would
as truly represent US four years hence as
now, and IN giving our reasons for so be-
lieving we might have added that one of
the influences most likely to affect his FIJI
ture career would be the associations he
would most probably form after taking
his seat in the Senate We know that
bad, unprincipled men have already al
lied themselves to him and are claiming
his promise 10 appoint them to. response
BILE positions in case he is elected. He
has also chosen such men as j. A. Noon
an and Geo. B Smith for confidential adj
yisers, as though the Republican party
did not contain as good aud wise as they
to give him counsel. And when We re-
member that the oorrupting influences
brought to bear at Washington upon the
people 5 representatives have been redue-
ed-t arsclenee, by the side Of which the
wiles and articles of first class Railroad
lobbyist at one Of our State capitals be-
come transparent innocence, We are fully
convinced that Washington City is no
| place for Matt Carpenter to temper his
| green and INFESTED Republicanism.
We might multiply examples Of this
corrupting influence if there was need,
but will simply call to mind the fact that
when Andy johnson was acquitted last
spring, scarcely less to the surprise than
the disappointment of the nation, We
were tauntingly told by the knowing ones
who had prophesied the result calcula-
ing upon the powered this infuence--that
"if half dozen more Senators had been
needed they would have been obtained."
The tendency of political affairs is in this
rection tremendous influences ~ are
united and brought to bear upon men
with almost irresistible force. Nearly
every one can call to mind instances
where bad, corrupt men, banded together
for unworthy purposes, and actuated By
evil motives, have been enabled to carry
their ends inspite Of the demands Of pro.
priety, common-sense, pligbted obligations
and all the honorable considerations
which should have secured an opposite
result.
Is It not we / then for us to consider
these things before We turn away from
the true and tried standard bearers of the
party, and choose as our. representative
Of Republican principles for six years
q man whose past gives no assurance of
his power TO meet these pernicious in
fuences, and who has SO recently adop-
ted our faith, that four years ago in the
heat Of war he could not Youch for him,
self two years ahead, and who one year
later claimed the pri ilege of being mus
tered out of the Union organization ?

There never was time in the history Of our
country when greater necessity existed for cir

friuged upon to an alarming extcnt overwheln-

corruption aud imbecility, our government is

of our people from the glorious precepts Of the
past, has led them into labyrinth of anarchy
from which many see no escape but in military

and supported by the bond holding aristocracy,
is laundering for the establishment of an Empire;

hope for the future, save in rousing the people
to their duties citizens, and to realization of
the peril in which their liberties are placed.
There is but one way TO redeem the country from
the demagogues and plunderers who are fast urg- |
ing it to ruin. The masses must return to the
principles of the fathers of the Republic, drive
from places Of trust the spoilers fattening upon
the life blood of the nation. and place in power
only those who will administer our affairs with
prudence and economy. There must he II
