Re CeeerruI.

Emerson says" Do not hang dismal picture
on your wall, and do not deal with sabes and
glooms in your conversation Beecher follows
with: Away with these fellows who go howng
through life, and all the while passing for birds
should look to himself He should fast and
pray until his face breaks forth into light" Tai
mage then takes up the strain "Some people
have an idea that they comfort the afflicted when
they groan over them. Don't drive hearse
througha mans soul. When YOU bind up bro
ken bone of the soul, and ou want splints, do
not make them of cast iron. After such coun-
selings and admonitions, lay aside your long

how MUCH OF THE WAR is OVER

The guns are silent, the armies are disbanded
the shattered colors are folded away, and the
MANNED and wounded are disappearing from
among u.s. But how much of the conflict of 1861
has disappeared The following, from Hdrper's
Weekly, forcibly and fairly considers this ques-
tion:
"It seems to us to be the merest folly and a
perifous folly, to speak of the issues which divi-
ded the country for generation, aud which led
to the war, as in any final sense settled ard
closed Politics are not mere game, in which
one de having lost and the other won, there is
a smiling adjustment Of the board for a new
turn. The division between the republican and
democratic parties was founded upon differing
views of the very nature of the government and
Of human rights. Those views were absolutely
incompatible, and admitted of no pacific settle
ment. But when the life and character and
conscience Of one part of the population are
hostile to those of anotherpart- the spirit
of society, the theories of industry and of orig-
nal right, in one section are hopeessy opposed
to those of another and the result is desolating
and cruel war, in which one party uncondtien-
ally conquers the other-whRt supreme folly to
imagine that a mere formal acquiescence in the
defeat has healed or settled the real differences
THE present condition of the southern States
the Ku Klux, the sense of insecurity of the new
citizens the consequent slowness of recovery
show the real situation. Nor can any considera
BILE share Of this be attributed to the nationa
government. Besides the inevitable materia
consequences of the war which slavery occasion
ed and waged, there has been no punishment
except brief disfranchisement, which has beer
removed, and limited disability to hold office
But the hsstie spirit remains, and the falls
theory of the government is still held. We Ger
tainly do not think it strange that it should b
30. But the Democratic leaders insist that by
cones shall be bygones. Very well if the Dem
Ocratic theories, principles, policies and mea
sures have passed by, il the issues upon whicl
parties were divided are settled, why does thu
party which represents the defeated issues still
maintain its organization 1t will be time fo
the victorious party to disband when the con
quered party yields It will be time to form
new party when the old parties have naturally
disappeared ="

Horace Greeley demands with
the Democracy a system of Fed
eral taxation which shall not I'M
necessarily interfere with the in
dustry of the people, and which
shall provide the mean neces-
sary to pay the expenses of the
Government economically ad,
ministered, the pensions, the in
terest on the public debt, and a
moderate. reduction, annually, of
the principal thereof. He de
mands, as do the Democracy, a
speedy return 10 specie payment.
The Democracy of the country
declare with him that the Civil
Service of the Government has
become a mere instrument of
partisan tyranny and personal
ambition and an object of selfish
greed. 1t is a scandal and re-
proach upon free institutions.
and breeds a Generalization dam
gerous to the perpetuity of repub
lican government: and in fine, in
nearly every living issue, Horace
Greeley and the Democratic par
ty are in full accord. True, he
has fought US in the Fast, but the
issues on which those battles
we're waged have been settled by
the people, and we have no wish
to see them resurrected.

Grant is frightened. He is be
ginning to make promises. The
following appeared in the Times
Chronicles Washington special
of the 17th:
"Iu conve sation with an Ohio
Republican Congressman, a day
or two ago, President Grant says
that in case of his reelection he
intended to make a general
change in the office holders
throughout the country. As a
rule, he said he did not believe
that any person who held office
during oneAdministratio should
be retained for the full term of
the succeeding one, but that it
was no more than just that all
faithful officers should be free
from removal until they had
served four years."
Eaton weekly Democrat. [volume] (Eaton, Ohio) 1866-1875, 1872-06-06

Under Grants Administration
military interference in civil af-
fairs has become a common thing
and where discretionary power is
given him, he uses it unuecessar-
lily and arbitrarily to the Cypress
ion of the citizen, doing violence
to the form and spirit of the in
stitutions under which we live
Upon the South, he should Lave
shielded because of her very
weakness, and protected because
she was not permitted to protect
herself. he has laid, from first to
last, and with alacrity, a heavy
hand. To her people he has been
not a President, but a pursuer.-
From over them he and his party
have drawn away, with a rude
hand and for the worst purposes,
the aegis of civil liberty, and left
them exposed to the whIms and
caprices of an irresponsible, ar
bitrary, consolidated central pow

peace at all, or anything thai
