A MISERABLE mIsOONsTRUCrIoN.

A MISERABLE MISCONSTRUCEION.
Will the Banner condescend, from its
narrow perch of "indifferential politics." to
point out what it discovers Objectionable in
Charles O'Conor's letter, outside of his
opposition to Mr.. Greeley. That is a
mere question of men; will the Banner
show him faulty in principle ? AS we read
the letter, he strikes the keynote of our
national troubles, past and present, in de-
nouncing government intermeddling with
those concerns of society which, under
judicious laws, might benefcially be left to
individual action" He urges the most
stringent limitation of delegated powers,
reserving to the people the fullest free
dom. While recognizing the sacredness
of the existing debt to the last
fsrthing, he shows that the
continued power to borrow money by 'Gov-
eminent mortgages upon labor will prove
an ever fruitful source of corrupt 'jobs'
high and low, from the building of a dis
trlct sch00lhOuse TO racine railway. lie
denounces ''furtive methods" of squeezing
money out of the people without their di-
rectly perceiving it, and urges that ''the
amount of taxes should always be patent
plain, visible and palpable." We differ
with Mr.. O'Conor in his view of the i'm
mediate means of furthering these princi
pies. We think the first step toward re-
ducing them to practice is to elect Mr.
Greeley. Is not the Banner also laborint
for the recognition of these principles
Perhaps our contemporary does not advo-
cate Mr.. Greeley for principles sake, but
solely to demoralize the Democracy. Such
is not the motive of our support.

JUDGE A. P. SMITH, of Cortland, n. Y,
who organized the first Republican club in
that county in 1856, has written a letter
urging union upon Greeley and Brown.
He says:
at was a sad mistake we made when we
nominated Grant in 1868. 1t was worse
than folly to renominate him in the face Of
his record, and the determined intelligent
opposition which had then developed. l
said that to our friends at the Elmira State
Convention, but they would not hear to it.
Some men can only learn by an experience
which burns it into them; such experience
is to be the Republican party's this fall so
far as Grant is concerned"

In this Straightout abortion there was

cess, and blind dependence on some polit-
ical providence bringing order out of chaos,
seem to actuate both. We speak respect

from this Louisville gathering, and there
fore fostered its growth by all the corrupt
means at their command. Through such
careful nursing and Government
pap perhaps, the thing was in
lated into exaggerated proportions. But
the resulting collapse has been only the
more marked in consequence of that infa-
ton; and the Radical administration that
sewed this bag of wind will reap the whirl-

The final resolve of this Louisville mob, to
go into the canvass blind, not knowing nor
caring whether they have candidates or
not, betrays the cloven foot too plainly for
any genuine Straightout to be longer de-
ceived. 1t is a confession, after all the
pirate of principle, that their fate bangs by
the flying coat-tails of one man, who runs
from their clutch with virtuous desperation.
The collapse is complete; and we may dis
miss the farce from the national stage. In

should be invited and encouraged by the
reckless cry for ''free fight" all round, SC
