Ward Beecher. His orthodoxy il in

tie. Yesterday y analysed the "Can-
bridge ConfssSioa that b, thu creed
FAdopted by Me New England C6ngys-
gationalists zen years ago-asd warmly
|denounced it, Calviniolic IDEAS md ten
|deneies. We never theuxk Mr.. Becchee
had much Calvinism in his nature, but
his discourse yesterday, on the father
hood of God, has dispelled any linger-
ing hopes or fears We might have enter
tanned on this point. The idea is false,
snd derontOry to the nature Of God,
Mr.. Beechcr declared, which represents
Him - supremely content with Himself
and Indifferent to the creatures who Of
fer Him their alteration. The tendency
Of theOlogies is to teach us that God acts
supremely for his own glory. The ex-
tracts from the Confession read BY Mr..
Beecher declare that "some men and
some angels are predestined 10 everlast-
ing ruin, and some are forcordained to
everlasting death; that they are fixed to
an Interchangeable destiny, and that their
number is certain and defined, and can
not be increased or diminished" We
don't wonder that Mr.. Beecher, with his
large heart and liberal nature, should
call this ga tight fit" and should, as he
did unhesitatingly, pronounce in favor
OF infidelity and atheism rather than OF
such faith as converts Father into q
fiend and Saviour into butcher, as
Mr.. Beecher very forcibly put it. And,
in the magnanimity Of his nature, he
asked, ais this the God that sent His
Son into the world by whom men are to
be saved, and who is represented in the
parable OF the Prodigal Son as not wait
ing for this son to come to Him, but
who goes forth to meet him, and falls
on his neck and kisses him." We hope
our Calvinistic friends will not allow
Mr.. Beecher to misrepresent them, if he
has done so; but if he has not the soon.
err this confession of faith is remodeled
or discarded altogether the better, fol
God hath not appointed US unto wrath,
but has made salvation possible for ev'
cry human being.

Inapolitical point OF view, Saline leads
the counties west of the sixth Principal
Meridian. Time was when she was
compelled to play the "second fiddle
to Davis county, which is verify past.
Saline possesses the lever power in the
Fourteenth judicial district and tho Goth
Senatorial district. She is now the cen.
ter of "much political power" If pro.
jects are desired to be carried out by the
new counties obout, their inhabitants
must seek her goodwill and powerful
aid. Saline has her proportion ofpcrsons
who are willing to serve the public in a
I" fiduciary" capacity. She has her pro-
portion of great men. In fact a State
ticket could be made up complete here
of men who think they could ably and
with dignity fill the respective positions.
We have available" men $50 they say
themselves) for every position, from the
lowest to the highest. In view Of this
favorable out look, we ask the Repub!i-
can state convention to look favorably
upon one at least of the mighty con-
course Of great men in this section and
confer upon him good nomination. 1t
must also be remembered that by the
grace of Senators Samuel and Alexander
we have IN U. S. Land office ut this
place, which has a powerful influence in
rendering unto Caesar the things which
arc Crsar's," the moneyed power Of
which will make itself felt in any con-
vention. Figuring mp one way and
down the other, can it be denied that
we are entitled to representation on
the state ticket!

1t was given in evidence that Caldwell

one OF shameful persecution and has
done Senator Caldwell more harm with
the people than any of the bribery
charges against him." 1t is indeed =

nIFEl4 CERIAIN.

The tone of the Democratic press
throughout the country seems to be an
favorable to union between the Democ-
racy and "Liberals !" on the Cincinnati
nominees. Ultra Democracy cannot swal-
low the Greeley pill. Although Is re-
ported that the Southern element Will be
strong for Greeley, we doubt very much
whether such will be ultimately the case.
If the Democracy make nominations at
Baltimore, as we have good reason to
believe they will, the Democratic forces,
North and South. will 60 almost solid
together. If the Democratic conven-
ton takes up Adams, as some OF the
Democratic journals advocate, where
will Greeley be? Many of his present
adherents will quickly espouse the cause
of the former and many of the recreant
Republicans will give up their newly
found cause as hopeless and wheel back
into their old places in the Republican
line. Even with solid union Of all the
opposcrs of the Republican party upon
Greeley, it can be safely said that the
sage of Chappaqua can never hope to
occupy the presidential chair in 1872.
The Philadelphia convention will soon
come off and its nominee will carry cv-
cry Northern state in November, and be
the next president Of the United States
of America. Many who were enthusi-
astic opposers of Gen. Grants admins
tration now freely admit that they can
sec nothing in Greeley that will remedy
its evils aud are almost persuaded al
ready to rather choose Grant than Gree
ley, were they the only alternatives.
The Cincinnati movement is the most
stupcndous political failure of modern
days, and in its ruins are found many
good men who are rather to be pitied
than ridiculcd. Yet they have taken
their position, and by it let them stand
or fall.
The Saline County journal. [volume] (Salina, Kan.) 1871-1893, 1872-05-16

Horace Greeley from having been one
of the worst abused men by the Demo
Gratis has become to be the most Landed
by them. He is tool in their hands,
il fl instrument to create dissensions
in the Republican party, and after the
ides of November he will be ono of the
dcadess men politically in the United
States Of America.
