DEAD ISSUES.

Some Of our exchanges are still
harping upon "dead issues" and
warning Southern Democracy of the
danger Of attempting to disturb their
remains. We are guiltless of any
such attempt, father than to argue
that no doctrine Is dead which direct
by involves the constitutional rights
aud the material prosperity of the
people. All such are, and will con-
tinue to he, living issues until the
people are thoroughly sun)ugated.
The danger, it seem to us, is in
trying to impress upon the popular
mind the belief that certain funda-
mental doctrieS, engrafted upon the
constitution andinherit in every form.
of free government, are now obsolete,
and that 1t is not only useless, but
mischievous to advocate them. To
attempt to inculcate such Il belief, is
a direct endorsement of Radical usur-
pations, and to fix it upon the public
mind would be to insure the success
of the Radical scheme for the over
throw of free institutions and the
establishment of n monied aristoc-
racy-the worst form OF government
ever contemplated, because it substi-
tutes money for talents and integrity,
and brutalizes the masses by teach
ing them to worship the "almighty
dollar" as the giver of power and
social position, as the only test Of
merit, and therefore to be acquired
by any means, no matter how i'm
moral or criminal. The Bondhold-
holders and all other monopolies are
in position to take advantage of the
state of things which Radicalism is
labOring to bring about.
Is this monstrous iniquity to be
averted by ~persuading the people that
all the steps, heretofore taken, to
overthrow their once free institutions
and make them the abject slaves of
n selfish, corrupt, purse-proud aristoc-
Iuty, uIt VIC IIIcNtiSlbIc uCCiStS vi
fate? We think the safer plan, is to
keep fresh in the popular mind, the
memory of all they have lost, and
inspire the hope, at least, that much,
if not all, may be regained, If they
will remain true to the teachings OF
the wise e~Xpounders OF the Consti-
tuition and cherish that love Of lib
erty which furnishes the zeal and the
strength to battle against the inva.
ders of their constitutional rights.
We will never advise the people to
forget the rights they have lost, nor
try to persuade them that the loss Is
irretrievable; though we admit the
necessity for great discretion in the
choice of the means to be employed
for their restoration to their former
status as citizens Of Il free govern
mcnt. "Dead Issues is the argu'
ment of tyranny; we hope never to
hear it seriously advanced by the adj
vocates of constitutional liberty the
lessons deduced from the past, ar,
those of practical wisdom let us heed
aud profit 10y them.

The LOCALITY MAKES THE DIFFER
EScE.-The telegraph reports an out
rago in lllinois-the home of the late
Lincoln--in which mob Of highly
respectable citizens took an accused
party out of Jail, and hung him. He
was accused Of causing the death of
his son, but in manner that the law
deems "manslaughter," so tho mob
imposed the death penalty on the Of:
fence, and inflicted it without trial
Last year, in 1ndiana-thc homo of
Colfax-a like lawlcss tragedy was
enacted, with the aggravation that
tho mon hung without trial had been
claimed from Canada, on n charge
of horse stealing, which is not n capi.
tai offense. If such cases as these had
occurred ut tho South, tho whole Radi-
cal press would have rung with calls
for military Intervention, and the over
throw Of civil government. But such
cases have not occurred there the
incidents that Radical mcdacity has
monstered have most of them been Of
a private and personal character, like
that in which Mr.. Hnlstcad met his
death in Newark Tho vast super.
structure of Radical lies invented as an
excuse for war upon the ballot box,
is founded on incidents that happen
everywhere. Human society is not
free anywhere from ebullitions of pas.
sion, and collisions Of interest they
are best controlled BY civil laws and
free government, and they are aggra-
waited by tho lawlcss spirit of arbitrary
military power.-Edston Seminal. f
