TuESDAY..... AUGUST Is, 1s74.
TIE RECORD objects to the references
sometimes made in the Enterprise to the
struggle which ended at Appouattox.
But the REoRD mistakes the purpose of
these references. 1t is not ito stir up
the most bitter and revengeful feelings
that were incident to the late war;" but
to remind Republicans that their labors
are still incomplete, and that to falter
now at the ballot-box is to jeopardize
the fruits OF the successes achieved in
blood. We will permit no one, North or
South, to overreach us in effort to restore
harmony and brotherhood throughout
the Union; but in this wise We will not
venture single step beyond the certain
ty of safety. The attitude of the Demo-
Gratis of the North and South is sugges-
tive OF approaching trouble.
While these dangers menace we shall
continue to appeal to Republicans in just
such voice as the occasion seems to war
rant. We shall speak of Andersonville.
Libby and salisbury; of Fort Pillow and
Lawrence; OF Gettysburg and Appoma-
tox; of Wirz and Booth; of the martyr.
dom of Lincoln, and of the tens OF thou.

the Democrats North and South cease to
plot, and the Republicans once more re-
alizs their danger and their duty Virg.

The RECORD does not and will not OBJ
ject to any reference to the events of the
late war. The RECORD frequently itself,
refers to that terrible struggle, but never,
thank God, in the fierce spirit of re-
vengeful malice that actuates the Enter
prise and all its tribe. There were too
many hundred thousand brave hearts
stilled for ever; too many orphans and
widows caused, for the RECORD to
ever refer to that bloody episode in
the history of the country without grief
and saddest sorrow. True, as events
shaped themselves, the titan-like COM
bat was inevitable, and it may be. that as
probably it must have occurred sooner or
later-it might as we'll happen when it
did. Still no lover of his country, no
friend Of humanity, but will grieve over
the spectacle of countrymen, friends,
kin; nay. father, son and brothers, set in
battle array against each other. From
that fierce and deadly conflict we pray,
as We believe. for so says Holy writ, that
good may come out OF that evil, and
that the country reunited in the
sweet ties OF concord, harmony and
brotherhood, may march forward, its
members hand in hand, to the de.
sired haven of happiness and pros
perity; united and attached at home
powerful and respected abroad. These
are our hopes. They are the noble and
glorious ends for which we labor. See-
ing this, We leave the Enterprise and the
rest OF its vampire crew, to its horrid
task of again lighting the fires of inter-
necine strife. While it urges violence
and murder, we will preach peace and
forbearance. While it defends and gloss
es over the crimes of thieves and knaves,
we will do what we may to strip their
disguise from, and show them to o dis.
gusted community in all their horrid de.
formity. The Enterprise is welcome to
refer to the war, its episodes, and the
great errors of the South, if it pleases
All it says may be true, remarka
BILE contingency, certainly, still i
may be SO, but what has thai
to do with the present issue? There
lies the South, oppressed, robbed and
ruined. Is there no effort to be made to
rescue one Of the fairest portions of the
nations possessions from sinking into
anarchy and barbarism. The men who
are the friends of the Enterprise, and
whom it defends, have been robbing and
hsaping misery on this wretched region
for nine long years. Isl not time to call of
the dogs? Is not nine years of pillagt
and destruction sufficient? 1t ought tc
be, without the Enterprise wants to riva
its natural allies, the Kings of Dahomey
and Ashantee, in barbarism. Two
wrongs never made right. The South
did wrong when it went to war. TIL,
South paid for that wrong by the hu
initiation and loss Of defeat, by being TO,

charity? 1t surely is, and in spite of tn
vindictive appeals Of the Enterprise am
those like it, who only desire to keep u
this state of anachical turmoil for thei
own base purposes by which they ma
profit. Spite Of these vile incendiaries
we would ask, We would beseech our fel
low countrymen, not to disregard th
cry Of distress and wall Of sorrow. Thos
men are your countrymen. Many o
them have fought in and led your armie
to victory, your navies to deathless re
nown. They have asserted by thei
blood the honor, the dignity, the sacred
ness of our country and its soil. Man,
others have sat in the Nations councils
and by their wisdom, their patriotism
and unsullied integrity, have contribute
greatly to make our country prosperous
glorious and and power among the ma
tions of the earth. Is all this nothing
