SPEAKING THE TRUTH IN LOVE. ,

iSPEAKING THE TRUTH IN LOVE. -
Our contemporaries on both sides, and
ourselves not less than others, may we'll
heed these golden words. Bitterness seems
to us strangely out Of place just now. In
these glorious days of the spring time,
when the earth sheds its early bloom over
our common dead, and the majestic unfold
ing of nature wins us from strife, we may
well aspire to share its camness, and to
partake of that Benefcence which bestows
its gifts freely upon all. As children of q
common Father, as citizens of common
country, our interests are one. The loss
Or gain of the lowest or the highest, is
felt through all the structure of our
society. We cannot afford to wrong the
humblest human being, nor to neglect the
most apparently inconsequential interest.
We need, especially at this time, judi
cial calmness of mind which weighs care
fully all evidence, and listens without ex-
element or prejudice to all arguments. 1t
is clear enough that we are in great trans
ition. The people are tired and disgusted
with party catch-words and vulgar slang.
Appeals to pride ofparty, caste, and birth
place have lost their power. They want
sharp issues and words that mean some-
thing, and speak of to-day's needs and du-
ties. The sickly sentimentalism of the
past must give way to robust truths, which
can face an age, vital with electric force.-
How worthy of the time it would be, if we
could dismiss every unmanly prejudice and
mean disire to take undue advantage of
each other, and discuss the great questions
before the country upon their essential
merits. How rapidly would the people be
educated into great political truths, if from
every press and rostrum, they listened to
discussions in this becoming temper. And
this, after all, is the one legitimate object
of fpolitical discussion. to enlighten the peo-
pie and enable them to crystalize their best
thought into laws and institutions, for the
good of all. We feel deeply and sincerely
that we have no interest which does not
harmonize with that of our political oppo-
nent.s We see things differently. If wrong,
it is to our certain loss. But we would be
glad to labor earnestly and zealously with
all fair-minded men, of both parties, to
lessen the distance between us, to soften the
asperities of party strife, and to build up
the great interests that we all have in the
progress and prosperity of our State and
country.
