Is Ciyil War Imminent?

We do sincerely believe that Grant
would encourage any en0rmity calcu-
lated to plunge our country into the
horrors OF ~internicine strife, il thereby
he could rule and ride rough.shod over
liberty and law, as he has done ever
since the awful blundcr was made in
elccting him President. The Courier
Journal has sufficient grounds for
talking as follows:
1t is our deliberate opinion that the
Radical leaders who are about to 90
ont of power will resort TO any cxpedi.
cnt to regain that which they have lost,
ard that they retain sufficient power to
plunge the country into a wal over the
succession in 1877. The Louisiana
and Arkansas policies are conclusive
on this point. The man who would
trust Gen, Grant with the authority
vested in him by the Radical bill mus
be alunat!c. Its authors and support
ers mean it for what it is, an act to re
elect General Grant for u third term a

creating a pretcxt for susponding The

This may be "the product of a most

it may prove to be so but if no check

One of the strongest proofs OF his

self in his answer to the question Of
John the Baptist: "The poor have the
gospel preached to them" 1t was a
noticeable popularity Of Il Savior
that, in all his intercourse with the
poor and humble, he placed himself in
a relation of equality with them. He
overlooked their condition, and dis
cerned only their humanity, which
placed them on IL perfect equality with
those who were affected by the acct
dent of station, and which can never
disturb Or sever the bonds of equality
that connect the whole human race.

when he lifted up his voice to persuade,
TO rcbukc, TO admonish. to encourage,
and to express his tender sympathy
for the poor. lie spoke only as a
loving elder brother. They felt that
he was one of themselves, and they
listened to him with no suspicion or

Der how a large proportion of our
population, especially in the cities, al

cannot afford to. 1t takes no incon.

a pew and furnish it. They cannot do
this. They do not always like to be
reminded of this inequality Of their

to hear it publicly paraded. SO they
stay away and have no knowledge of
