The people made the Republican Party and
when they see fit to do SO, they will unmake it.
Other parties preceded It and others will fol-
low It. To-day, it is still the hope and the pride
Of vast number Of liberty-loying citizens. 1t
exists because they associate themselves, by the
ties Of the same principle and common symps-
thy, to make up its strength and give it success
Let nobody misconceive the facts The Repub-
lican Party is not mere political machine to be
seized upon by ambitious or interruptions men,
and used for their own purposes. The peo-
pie made it for the public use, and they mean it
shall serve the public. Upon such platform

there was nothing unusual appearing on the earth
or in the air. On our way to the place Of after
noon service we found the road and grass
swarming with the insects

the corn blades, and by Tuesday evening there
was scarcely blade or piece Of blade to be
seen on thousands Of acres that could be viewed
from any little eminenee in the vicinity. Tho
newly planted hedge was detroyed. The peach
trees were stripped Of their leaves and the ten

MILES on miles Of young cottonwoods, plant

their leaves, and it Is feared they will not sur

soft maple not disturbed. Walnut trees, Hfty
feet high, with spreading branches are gtripped
OF their leaves, with their fruit exposed to the
rays OF the sun and to the gaze Of the curious
passenger.

How about the COMMERCIAL claiming to be
the organ OF the Republican party OF the State
OF Delaware when one Of the proprietors voted
an open Democratic ticket on Tueeday last p
Republican.
1.-The COMMERCIAL has never claimed to be
the organ of the Republican party of Delaware.
2--Neither Of the two proprietors of the Con-
sEacIAL who live in Wilmington voted tan open
Democratic ticket on Tuesday last"
S.-The Republicans own oditorials-one of
which We print elsewhere-are often unique

POLITICS IN MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS, AND
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN THE STATE.

Some of our contemporaries and persons wri-
ting to them msconstrue what has beeh said by
the COMMERCIAL in regard to the relationship
between party politics and municipal affairs.
We hold, not that the two must be divorced. alb
solutely, and at all times, but that citizens are
at liberty to pursue such course as seems best at
the time, without offence to the party with
which, on State or National questions, they are
identified IL may be best for each party to
continue to make municipal nominations, but if
these nominations are not good ones, we Insist
that the party label which they bear does not
bind all voters Of that party name. If the Re-
publican voters of any Ward, deciding for them
selves, on the ground of their own interests as
citizens and Taxpayers, judge that they arc like
ly to secure members of Council more satisfac-
tory and more acceptable, by an independent
nomination, they haYe the right to try it, and
are not to be disciplined therefor. 1t is mat
ter optional with them whether they shall make
party nominations or not.
1t is natural to ask Why is not this rule,
which you apply to municipal and local affairs,
equally good AZ to wider fields? Why,if the cit
izen may thus act independently in the one case
may he not do 30 likewise in State affairs The
answer to this is simple In the first place, no
voter il ever bound to vote against his con-
science il any candidate for any place, at any
time, is, in his Judgment, palpably and scandal
lousy unworthy of his support, such support
cannot be askedupon any principle OF good gov
eminent. But, where there is no such vital and
conclusive objection, the answer is that our poll
teal parties are organized on the basis of the
State there is a Republican party of Delaware,
which has its platform OF principles, up
on which it puts forth candidates for

THE NEW BREWERY.

We mentioned several weeks
ago that a new brewery was
about to start here. The prOprie-
tors were disappointed about get
ting their malt here from San
Francisco as soon as they expect
ed, and hence they were delayed.
But the last steamer brought the
malt and last Wednesday the
Brewery was opened to the pub
lie and we had the pleasure of
tasting some very good lager beer.
We wish the enterprising proprie-
tors success. Beer is a healthful
and harmless beverage, and
many will drink it who will not
touch ardent spirits, when they
can get lager. Thus true tenn
perance which we have always
advocated, will be promoted.

"LET US HAVE PEACE"

We hope to see the election pass
off quietly and without the bitter
ness sometimes displayed on su CHI
occasions. There should be no
hard feeling and no hard words.
There is no reason in citizens be-
coming imbittered toward each
other and descending to the use
of harsh and ungentlemanly
words because they differ in re-
gard to the merits or fitness of
competing candidates for office.
The spirit that would dictate such
course is at variance with the
spirit Of our free institutions.
Every freeman has a right to
vote az he sees fit, and no man
has a right to find fault with an
other because he exercises this
sacred right according to MS own
convictions. We may, in a pro-
per and gentlemanly manner,
reason with, persuade, and en-
deavor to convince our fellow ci-
tizens, that our views are light and
theirs wrong, but further than
this we have no right to go. No
matter how we differ, let us en-
deavor to cultivate good feeling
and studiously avoid all person
alities. Let us have peace"

COMMUNICATION.

: ..s11 YUMA, October 80, 1874.
Editor Sentinel As the pre-
sent will be your last issue prior
to the election, feel an inclina-
ton to put in one word of caution
to the voters. =
That "things are Mixed" is
apparent to everybody. With
a voting population of per-
haps one hundred and thirty to
one hundred and fifty, there are
thirty-seven candidates, an aver
age Of seventy tickets out to each
voter, and all different in their
combination. It therefore be-
comes every man who esteems
the ability to cast vote as pri-
vilege, to scrutinize closely the
ticket that he proposes to deposit,
and to know, of his own knowl-
edge the persons for whom he
votes, and to know beyond doubt
that they are properly distributed
upon the ticket for the respective
offices to which they pretend.

OUR PAPER.-The NeW6ern, on
her last trip from San Francisco
failed to bring our regular supply
of paper and as the freight by the
Montana, will not arrive until
about the last of next week, and
the consumption of paper in our
Office for the last three weeks hav-
ing been very great in conse-
quence of printing so many pos
ters, election tickets etc. we found
that we would not have paper up
on which to print this issue. To
Obviate the necessity of printing
on brown paper we telegraphed
nine days ago to firm dealing in
stationery in San Diego, to send
us paper, (Which said firm had be-
fore promptly filed our orders,
by STACEY To our said telegram
said firm has not responded, eth
er by sending the paper or by let
ter or telegraph, thus leaving us
in an awkward fix. Had it not
been for kind friend who had
the paper, but who could not sell
it, but who generously loaned it
to us until ours should arrive, this
issue would have appeared on
brown paper.

KEEP Cool, don't get excited,
don't get mad. Remember that
he who keeps cool and calm has
a great advantage over him who
becomes excited aud allows his
passions to rise. Though we may
differ in our political preferences,
as freemen have a right to do, yet
it is foolish to get angry with
each other about it.
" Let dogs delight to bark and bite.
For God hath made them so,
Let bears and lions growl and fight,
For It's their nature too"
But t'reemen, you should never Let
Your angry passions rise;
Your honest hands were never made
To black each others eyes,

The case of General Sickles, late

his rank by occupying a civil Of
