those who eight beneath their banners to Wilt
| pend their opponents simply because they are
such; to sssail private character without
cause, and to recklessly assign dishonorable
motives for public acts which may have been
suggested by patriotic intentions only. When
this step shall have been taken, the next
will be obvious and facile, namely, for parties
to refrain from defending dishonest and I'M
| worthy men In our ranks simply because they
| are found there, and to save them from
exposure, eviction and punishment, when
richly deserved. Never before, in the history
of this country, has there been such neces-
| sity as exists now, for the introduction of
honest men into places of public trust and all
honest men should work together to secure
that desideratum.
If the Wing will borrow our lantern,
which is of the magic sort, and cast It's
rays upon the officers now in place, it will
be astonished to find how few dishonest
ones occupy Federal positions.
The Conservative press and speakers
told the people during the "Walker and
Wells"s canvass, thatEso soon as the State
was restored under Democratic govern
ment, career of unparalleled prosperity
would open before her. aud how has the
promise been fulfled7 Let the following
paragraph, from an article in the Enquirer
of this morning, give the answer:
From all parts of the State we receive one
concurrring account of increased and increas
ing distress. The business OF the country is
more restrained THE hopes of the people are
more depressed, - than they were when the
horrid military government expired in this
Commonwealth. Detestable as that was, it
yet did no more to Cypress the business ener-
giles of the country than has continued to be |
done since we got away from its vile fangs.
The fact is, that with the military here,
and the Bureau, and other federal ma
chnery of that good government, money
was plentiful, and everybody received
some of it, The people were penniless at
the close of the war, and for five years the
government supported them out of its
treasury. 1t nursed them into fe,--only
to be stung ia return for its kindness. Now |
that our people, -who had always been de-
pendent for their support upon somebody
else, aud never upon their own exertions,--
Ia the days of slavery on their slaves, and
since then on the government,--we say
now that they are left to their own re-
they find themselves helpless.
Hercules has ceased to aid them, land they
lit down by the roadside to abuse him,
while they leave their wagon sticking up
o the hub in the mre.
But the Enquirer is always grumbling,
md putting the ugliest face on things. Its
gloomy forebodings are enough to cast
hadow over the hearts of the most hope
ul among us, and destroy what little of
mercy is left to us. Do try and lift up
he hearts of the people, and inspire them
With brighter and more truthful pictures
# the future, which is by no means SO
lack as it is painted.
