The Elections.

: 1t would appear from all the indications
of recent elections that tho Northern peo-
} pie are becoming alarmed ct the tendency
Of Republicanism. Oregon has just gone
overwhelmingly Democratic, New York
the other day gave an enormous majority
in the same direction, Connecticut not long
before spoke in Democratic voice, and
most If not all the local elections lately
held in towns, counties and cities through
out the North and West, show plain de-
crease Of Republican vitality and strength.
The principles of that party are bearing
their natural fruit. AS long as that fruit
was all forced upon the Southern market
for consumption our Northern brethre1 lid
not trouble themselves much about its
taste. But now they must vote shoulder
to shoulder with the colored man, whom
they have made citizen, and they are not
pleased to find that colored citizen always
on one side of the question. 1t gives his
friends an unpleasant Identification with
himself, and the result of undue intimacy
is, as usual, contempt.
Besides this, the centralixing tendency of
that party is losing them many friends.
Their policy of sinking all local and State
rights in the interest of the General Gov
eminent, of debating in those minor ques-
lions Of citizenship and modes of voting
which have always been considered reserved
rights, is raising widespread spirit Of
suspicion and alarm. The people Of tho
North are not prepared for any such doc
trines when brought home to them, and -
they see them beginning to be applied
practically at their own homes, the whole
hldeousness Of the system commences to
unfold itself to their view. How thew viii
fancy the new scheme of putting the ballot
under the control of national soldierv..
remains to be seen in elections yet to come
off.
In truth the Northern and Western popu-
ations are probably as much attached 70
state rights and to their perfect immunity
rom National interference as were the
southern people. In the late struggle they
Knew or fancied that the question of State

| and the same time. It is abstract in regard
to us, who subject it to the reflective pro-
cess, which works on distractions and re-
duces to it's abstract elements every con-
crete idea of which it can take hold. 1t is
abstract even in itself, because being intel
ligible, and consequently an object of
thought, it must itself think, and as created
thought cannot think in itself without
some object of thought outside of it, the
law. it follows, must, of necessity, think
itself and nothing else, for thought as
thought-mere created thought-thought
in itself can have but distractions for its
food. For this reason, ideas, as far as we
think them over to ourselves, are contin-
gent and relative distractions; and as we
view them in their own light, we see this
abstraction as necessary and absolute. But
this double abstraction would be impos-
sible without something concrete az it's
foundation. An abstraction is simply q
fiction of our mind, at best q mere posi-
bility, aud there is no possibility without q
reality underlying it. Therefore the law
in itself must be concrete, because being
the identical Idea, which is essential reality
itself, and the basis and cause of all other
realities, it creates all existences in their
concrete individualityrAs the relative alb
straction Of the law is due to refiexion, its
concrete existence affirms itself to us in
intuition, and through intuition sheds it's
light over our rehexive cognitions. If this
were not the case, the moral law would not
be objective, or absolute, or eternal it
would own none of the properties we as
cribe to it, but be merely possible law
invested with no binding force, and the
human laws claiming to be its reflex would
be simply possible only to be left unkept.
Those who lay the foundations of law in
an abstract, unsubsistent notion, such as
possible reality, for instance, not only do a
great injury to the cause of sound pliloso-
ply, but also seriously prejudice the cause
of true religion, by encouraging by their
example sensuous psychological rational
ism equally at variance with both.

concrete individual reality owing only to
the gratuitous bounty of the Creators will.
The law is authoritative, inexorable; adj
mits of no excuse, listens to no appeal, can
tolerate no compromise whence the legiti-
mate conclusions of ethical science rest on
as solid q basis and are as incontrovertible
as the deductions of geometry and calculus.
1t is authoritative because autonomous; it
is its own authority and reigns of it's own
right. But its reign, unlike the brief
usurped authority of creatures, i, humane
and merciful, not hard and tyrannical, and
the submission it demands is generous, not
servile. The divine law commands men,
not as q master would his slave, but as a
father would his children. Its rule is mild,
because it is sovereign reason itself; and
hence it will recognize only free obedience.
1t is only by exerting its gentle influences
on mems minds, not by coercing mems
wills, that will assert its pacific authority.
1t warns while it enlightens; it operates
on our elective faculty (arbitriuns, for which
we have no adequate single word in our
unphilosOphical English language,) by
means of knowledge and affection. Know
ledge begets conviction; affection, whether
right or wrong, chrystalizes into persua-
sion. knowledge, as soon as acquired, is
absolute master of the mind; affection
silently and imperceptibly obtains control
Of the heart and the Imagination. Where
fore the law, albeit stern in the assertion of
It's supremacy, disdains not the resources
IF eloquence in enforcing its recognition.
Armed with the two-edged sword of logic
md of love, it subdues any soul not per-
yerse enough to recuse its legitimate au-
hority, while at the same time it does not
respass on that souls original freedom.
The law is eternal, and neither confined
within the limits nor liable to the fuctua-
ions of time. Succession appertains to
hings finite and created, not to the eternal

es remained unpunished for want of
proof. They could not possess real
property, a disqualification which
unhappily existed too long in coun-
tries more enlightened. They were
debarred from all the liberal pro
fessions, from attendance on the
public schools and acadenlies-the
only exception in their favor being
the permission to attend the medical
lectures ut the university. 1t has

ing locks and keys would likewise be

houses. After this fashion the Pa
pacy did justice to the Jew.

PROVERBS ABOUT WOMEN
What the Old Bachelors OF An
cicGt Days Said.

1t is said that the proverbs of the
world furnish an epitome of the wit
and wisdom of all nations and ages.
The most salient and universal
traits of human nature are caught
and preserved in them, as flies are
preserved in amber. The same is
true of the deeply ingrained prejudi
ces which have come down to us
from semi-barbarous time. III
proverbs are in many cases neat
and portable packages in which self
evident truths are handed about.
many ideas which do not fit the pc
riod in which we live. Old, hateful,
unjust notions, about women espe-
cially, are thus kept in circulation,
and show how deep was the brand
of her servitude in the ages when
they were coined by male ingenuity.
Much of this small change of
thought is spurious, but it is curl
ous and instructive as measuring
the thorough contempt men often
expressed for women at the time of
their most servile submission to
male rule In these brief editions
of would be wisdom the intellect of
woman is almost universally deri-
ded:
A Hebrew proverb says:
When an ass climbs ladder we may
find wisdom in women.
As another las it:
Three women and n goose make
market.
And another still:
Where there are women and geese
there wants no noise.
Here is q batch of proverbs illus
trative of the utter worthlessness of
women:
a man ofstraw is better than wo-
man OF gold.
a dead wife. it is also said, is the best
goods in Il mans hous,.
The badness OF man is better than
the goodness of woman. declares jew
ish proverb.
The death of wives and the loss of
sheep make men rich.
Ii IL Npllldil W ere IL iislic IL SiC II eobh-
y peas pod would make her Il gown
and hood.
Deeds are males; words are females.
The deceit, INCONSISTENCY and TN
trustworty characteristics OF women
have called into existence score Of
proverbs, from which we select a
few:
No relying on women, wine and for
tune.
Women and wine. game and deceit.
Make the wealth small and the wants
great.
Women, wind and fortune are ever
changing.

tigation of wives is insisted on by

vorce. it pleaded with sweet elo
queDce for strictness in marriage.
Learning as well rs we may from so
illustrious teacher, this journal,
with its liberal views on divorce,
remains an austere moralist on mar
riage, it utterly spurns, rejects, and
repudiates the doctrine of free love.
1t stands at the very antipodes of
this philosophy; it holds that man
and woman whose mutual love IS
not sufficient to inspire mutual iidel-
ity prove thereby that they have
never known the fullness, purity and
all sufficiency of the one love which
makes marriage sacred, and which
keeps it so. The only marriage
worthy to be called by the name of
that great sacrament is tho os<oiuo'vc
Union of one with one, not the pa
triarchal union of one with many.
and not the modern sub-rosa union
of many with each other. Marriage,
il it be marriage at all, is the un-
swerving faithfulness of husband
and wife, admitting no intervening
mistress for the one, no. supplement
tai paramour for the other.
But this idea (and this idea can
not but be true) carries with it as
its logical sequence land this too
cannot but be true), the irresistible
conclusion that marriage, if broken,
and whether broken by the body or
soul, is divorce. Inhdelity of the
body is not so great 4 sin against
marriage as the infidelity of the soul.
Ii there is divorce for the one, there
should all the more be divorce for
the other. Human society needs
for its publication a more chival
rous fidelity to Marriage more
honorable respect for divorce. A
nation without marriage would be
without civilization a nation with
out divorce must be without viture.
In France the law tolerates no di
vorce. and SO the people practice
universal licence. In Prussia the
laws open seven gates of exit from
marriage, and So the fashionable
standard of morality is almost Puri-
taDical.
Now, the proverb warns us that
''history is philosophy, teaching by
example" " Apply this philosophic
warning to our own land. Our
American society is covering itself
with a growing mildew of free love.
This corroding fusgus is everywhere
so plain that ali eyes are beginning
to see it. What is the cause and
what the cure!
The cause is twofold; first. in the
injudicious and iamentable haste
with which the law is invoked to
tie knot between two persons who
only fancy. but have not proved,
their fitness for each Otherr and,
second, in a public opinion, which,
forbidding the dissolution Of such
illmade contracts, forces imprisoned
spirits, fret;ing at a captivity from
which they cannot openly break, to
take q covert refuge in secret sin
The curs is likewise twofold first,
in higher and holier idea Of MAJ
riage-incluling the chastiny which
should accompany it, the devotion
which should foster it, and love
which should hallow it; and, next,
in a.pubIic opiuion. expressed au-
thorilative!y in our civil statues, en-
acting that whatever in point of
morals nuiIilies marriage should in
Point of law authorize DIVORCE

What epochs OF persecution are not

The horrid den in which they
were cooped up was assigned TO
them about the middle of the six
teenth century, by Pope Paul ~,
with the benevolent view of presery

permission was given for the first
time to Jews to dwell beyond the
precincts of the Ghetto; but even
then only in its immediate vicinity.

never granted in legal form; not
even in writing. The Jews were in

LOVE, MARRIAGE AND d.
NORCE.
Theodore TiIton's Opinion.

ITO love, to love-that it is to
live" So sang Poet of France.
If this is French sentiment, it 10 also
apostolic philosophy. He that
hath loved another" SAID ST. Pauls
hath fulfilled the law" And as if
to give to this truth stamp of uni
versai currency, he recoined it into
the golden text, Love is the fulfill
ing of the law" This is another
way of saying that love is the su-
preme function of life.
But what is love? Who has an
alyzed it? OF what gossamer is it
woven, or out of what adama is it
hewn? =? What are its quintessential
elements? And especially does it
outlive life, or must it die with
death /?
The poets sing aearious song on
this wondrous theme, jarring their
harps to a strife of clasbing sounds.
Here, for instance, is William Nor
ris making Andromeda, in The
Earthly Paradise, say to Perseus
Oh love, t. think that love can pass away,
Ihat, soon or late. to us shall come a day
W hen this shall be fOrgotTen-e'en this kiss,

And sons Of men with all their miseries.
And furthermore, in the same poem
Love while we may; if twain grow into one,
MS Tor Il little while-the time goes by;
No hatred 'twiSt the pair of friends doth lie;
No troubles break their hearts; and yet, and
How could it bef We strove not to forget
Rather in vain to that Old time we clung,
lis hopes and wishes round our hearts we hung
we played old parts, We used old names IN

Now, if it could be settled that
human love is. in its essence, inn
mortal; that death does not cut,
nor the grave rot, the silken cord !;
then in approaching the problem OF
marriaae, we could definitely say s;
There is but one bond, and it know 5
no breaking. 1t binds two souls
for time and eternity, so that moth
