PRaTING PARrIzANs.

Senator Morton, who may be consid-
cred as the leader in the Senate of
great majority of the Republican party,
has recently made a speech at Terre
Haute, Indiana, which, from the posi-
ton OF the speaker. is We suppose. an
authoritative declaration of the position
it is intended to assume during the pres
ent campaign. 1t is the same old worn
out tune-the virtues of the Republican
and sins Of the Democratic parties. This
is stale stuff. Supposing that every
word were true, violent supposition. for
as oratorial liar, Morton is prodigy.
But leaving that matter alone, ooncede
that ali he said was true, does that assist
in q solution of the questions that are
now pressing so UNFORTUNATELY before the
people. In the Atlantic States trade is
languishing, thousands and thousands
OF laborers and workmen are out of en-
ployment. Emigration has received
severe check, and every steamer leaving
New York for Europe is crowded with
returning emigrants. This condition OF
things, at o season which has hitherto
been one OF the greatest activity and
profit, is Of more Importance than the
achievements of this or that party.
Other questions are also growing daily
more difficult to reach wise and
speedy solution; for instance, finance.
the tariff, reconstruction with its Ne
mesis. the Civil Rights bill, also the
third term. These are matters that
should not be looked at in a party light,
or considered with a party bias. for they
are important, and in some instances,
vital ones. The condition of the North
ern and Southern Atlantic States need
relief, and to afford it, the situation must
not be viewed through the distorted
lenses Of partisan, but with broad
and generous spirit of patriot,
statesman and a christian. The stale
elimination and recrimination Of par
tizans are growing more and more weari-
some, puerile and utterly disgusting.
The need of the day is devising
effsctual remedies for evils that
are admitted by all to exist, and
not to turn out one set OF blood
sucking, depraved politicians and replace
them by others who may prove to be no
better. The growing, positive, unde-
niable necessities of the people render
mere party gatherings out Of place, and
call loudly for councils Of the people,
where the topics alluded to can be dis
cussed temporarily, fairly and without
prejudice. where means could be de-
vised to revive trade, to find employment
for the idle, to establish an equitable
tariff, to redeem the ruined South, to
render third term. or more than one
Presidential term, impossible, to expose
corruption and punish offenders, and
also to make the blacks understand that
while their rights should receive all rea-
sonable protection, that the whites have
also rights and privileges which mus,
equally be secured and respected. 7,
effect these high and noble purposes, il
is useless to rely on parcel Of party
pettifoggers who have disgraced them.
selves and their country, betrayed their
constituents, and have merely legislated
themselves rich. The popular indigna-
ton should sweep these vicious men
away with the mighty force Of vas,
stream bearing off the filth and useless
debris that may have collected on its
banks.
