WITHIN the past fortnight, scenes have
transpired at the National Capital which
We could wish had not transpired. In the
Senate, over the deposition of Mr.. Sumner
from the Craftsmanship of the Committee
on Foreign Affairs, and in the House, over
the resolution In regard to Southern out
RACES, Republicans have INDUCED in such
state of feeling in the party ranks. The
public chickering's and contentious, which
have been allowed wide scope, are evil
dence enough of internal dissensions, and
il is useless for, US to attempt to disguise
the facts patent to everybody. There are
too many men who want to be leaders,
and who, in carrying out their own pet
schemes, refuse all others the right to hold
contrary opinions. This looks discourag-
ing, but need not prove disastrous. There
is no reason why the difference Of few
men should be allowed to impair the infiu-
ence for usefulness of great party. We
are satisfied that the good sense and patri-
otism of the masses will cause them to
make common cause of such measures az
are for the public good, regardless of the
chickering's of individuals. The Republi-
can party has already accomplished a great
deal for the country, and its mission is not
yet fulfilled.
We believe the masses of the Republican
party recognize in President Grant
leader worthy of their confidence, and
though he may have committed mistakes,
his administration has in the main been
successful and has certainly resulted in
good to the whole country. There are
those who find fault with him and are dis
posed to complain much, but we notice
they have very few practical suggestions
to make. 1t is very easy to find fault, but
tits not so easy to suggest Improvement.
We have no patience for men who do
not allow others to differ with them. A
large majority of those who are criticising
President Grants administration, are
doing it simply because he has will of
his own, and when he decides upon
measure carries it out, if 1t does meet with
opposition. This has given him enemies
in his own party. While they have their
the President the privilege of entertain
ing his. These differences have led to a
bitterness, which has assumed personal
nature in some instances. While we do
not impeach the Republicanlsm of some of
those who oppose him, we do think that
their expressions have not been charac-
terized with that respect for his opinions,
to which his position to the party and 10 the
country entities him. We trust and be-
live that these differences will be recon- |
ciled, at least SO far as not to jeopardize
the success of the party. We have conf
dence that the President will continue in
the honest discharge of his duty-that In
the end his administration will be recog-
nized as an eminent success, andth in,the
great battle of 1872, the Republican party
will present an unbroken front to the
enemy and achieve another decisive
victory.
