Partyism VS. Patriotism.

ED. BULLETIN:-YOu saw fit, from a
sense of duty, doubtless, to except from
your favorable opinion Of my Fourth Of
July Grafton, an "all4sioa to political
parties and theiF present mutations and
affiliations" us being unnecessary and
Inappropriate"
do not suppose that you yourself con-
sidcrcd the censure very serious one,
and yet you cannot be unaware that it
must be far from pleasant for a sensitive
man to stand accused Of committing an
improperly on such an occasion rs that.
Please, therefore, to insert in your col
amns copy perdatim of the brief pass
age referred to, that those Of your read
crs who did not hear the address may
Judge for themselves as to the Justice Of
the accusation. Referring to a Fourth
of July Grafton which was invited to
deliver in 1861, and contrasting the con-
dition Of the country at that time with
that of the present, used the following
language:
"Then it was impossible to conceal or
ignore the painful spectacle which our
country presented, Of sectional parties
arraycd against each other in q fratrci-
dial contest, by the bitterness of political
animosities. Now we may congratulate
each other upon the widely different and
pleasing spectacle of old partizan lines
and sectional prejudioes fast disappear
ing. to be presented. Us we may fondly
hope, to our reluctant vision no more for
ever. Politicians will, Of course, take
their own views of the re. organization OF
parties which now seems to be incvitable
but no man who thinks more of his coun
try than of party, can fail to experience
the highest degree of satisfaction when
he sees the former opponents of the most
divergent opinions forgetting their tradi
tional hostility and uniting together IN
amity and concord. Whatever may b.
tao political results of these remarkahl,
combinations, tho country at large will
probably regard them as the rainbow up
go

We cordially give place this week to
a communication from our respected
friend, Rev. C. s. Pcrcival, in which he
makes protest against, what he regards
as Injustice in the BULLETINS criticism
upon paragraph of his Fourth Of July
grafton. We are content to let our ill.,
depreciation of the language used OH that
occasion stand or fall upon the extract
given in Mr.. Percivarsnotc. We arc now
convinced however, that our criticism
did injustice to the intent of the speaker,
which was, not to glorify or give aid and
comfort to any political organization or
combination as at present constituted
but to simply congratulate his audience
upon that abatement of sectional hates
and animosities, which permits their for
mer possessors to consent to act together
i'm any way. We thus do full justice to
the aim of Mr.. Percival, but VIC still
maintain that the language used was I'M
fortunate in not conveying his Idea clear
ly. When he spoke Of reorganization
of parties, which now seems inevitable"
and avowed his "high satisfaction" at
witnessing the "former opponents of the
most divergent opinions uniting in amity
and concord" many of his hearers in
tcrpreted it as having direct reference to,
and eulogy of one of the contending politi-
cal organizations; combination which
three -tourths of Lis audience regard as
havingno amity OF. concord which is sin
eere or patriotic. But as we SAID before,
we are convinced thatthis construction
does injustice to Mr.. PcrcivaPs intent
which was wholly bipartisan and patriot
ic.
