THE STATE CANVASS.
pPocRrss OF THE Liberal CAMPAIGN.

sions of approval:
There is one aspect in the present political canvass
that ia not presented in the ordinary contests between
parties That aspect appears only when great changes
occur in the history OF countrychanges that reach 10
and affect all the conditions OF socetY-mora social
| and political. Whom, during revolutionary period,
these depths sounded the bright and the dark phases
dsheartenihg contrasts. II Is during these epoons,
which by their example and admonition become historic
we note the power OF TO do good and their measure
less capacity for doing evil, Cor at such time they IN
woke as sanction for their msdeeds the sacred names
OF liberty ana religion. Rarely In the history OF our race
nave these contrasts been so srikngy developed as AZ
the present moment. Seldom has much that Is wise
ana good ana benehcent been exhibited, ana not Oteh
nave wckedness and depravity so rank and offensive
been displayed IL anything nation can do VIII Drlng
