extravsgant and wasteful partisan rule |;
whether we shall have general, Uniform,
just and constitutional legislation, with
reasonable taxation and frugal expendi-
lures, or unconstitutional, partial and
unjust class legislation, with oppressive and
unequal taxation and wasteful expenditures.
That we have strong reasons to hope for
favorable result is plainly apparent. The
elections already held clearly show that the
tide of reform has set in with power that
can not be resisted if no blunders be com.
mitted by the friends of reform. II they do
their duty and act wisely; if they throw off
al apathy and act with vigor and stead
fastness, there is every reason to hope
their efforts will be rewarded by success.
Let there be no dissensions about minor
matters; no time lost in the discussion of
dead issues; no manifestation of narrow or
prescriptive feeling; no sacrifice Of the cause
to crafty personal ambition or resentment;
and let the best man be chosen for candi-
date, and we may hope to see our country
redeemed from misrule. And in this con-
nection we beg leave to convey q
warning to our fellow.citizens of the
Southern States. Do not risk
the loss of Senators or Representatives by

be said of the>yalidity of that amendment,
or of the test oath act, you may rest assured
that Senators elected by the votes of mem.
bers of legislatures who are held by the
Radicals, to be thus disqualified. will not be
permitted to take their seats, and that mem-
bers of the House Of Representatives thus
disqualified will also be excluded.
1t is the plainest dictate of practical wis
dom not to incur any such risks. and we
hope soon to see the day when all disabili.
ties will be removed; but, in the meantime.
do not, we intreat you, lose the opportunity
to strengthen the Democratic and Conserva-
tive force in Congress and the possibility,
nay, probability, of obtaining majority in
the next House of Representatives.. by
