Tho Good OF tho Country Above Party.

Tho Good or tho Country Above Party.
All good citizens of this State, of
whatever nationality, color or party. arc
concerned in finding some remedy for
its admitted evils. Republicans and
Conservatives, black, white and parti-
colored, can unite upon this common
ground. Very strong expressions of
dissatisfaction with the condition Of
affairs here, have beec uttered by the
Republican press of the North, end
echoed in the journals and public
speeches OF Radicals in this State. The
convention of taxpayers sent forth some
moderate protests against corruption
and mal-admiristration of affairs. Whnt
effect they will produce upon Congress
remains to be seen. 1t is time some
sort of answer has been framed, apollo
gizing for or family denying their facts
and resisting their conclusions; but in
more enlightened and candid Republican
orioles, the corruption which is charged
is admitted to exist, and branded as it
deserves to be. In the nature of things,
thero cannot be any sorions difference
between moderate Conservatives and
advanced Republicans upon the exist
enoe of wrongs. They are too patent,
too enormous, 10 be denied. They
would stir fever in the heart OF age,
or make all infants sinews strong Us
steel.
It is natural, however, thut there
should be some difference of view as to
the most appropriate remedies, and we
are prepared to allow great toleration Of
opinion in this matter. We welcome
the honest reformer, whether he thinks
it best to work within or without party
We and those with whom
we act. seek to secure better government
aud tho cure of the diseases which
af1iict the body politic, by appeals, nrgu-
ments and remonstrances addressed to
those who at present control the politi-
cal power of the State. Wa endeavor
to make them see their own good in the
good Of the country. Besides that, we
look beyond our State borders and en-
deavor to enlist on our side the power
ful public opinion of the whole country.
We have felt the force of this public
opinion to our hurt; We now wish to
engage it to come to our relief. Our
case has been presented to the country
and to Congress, and we await with
interest the response that will be made.
