But enough OF tho warriors. Gon. STILES
suuIcd them ont more offqctually than wo
eau hope to do with ons stroke of cou-
temrtuous irony: " When tho pinch
comes, the man that talks war don't
como to the 'front.'" With regard
to tue holding Of public meeting thoro Is
nothing improper in that proposal, constitu-
tionally, legally, or morally. 1t is the natural
and democratic why, when people aro in dis
pute over an important question, to got to.
getber, talk it over calmly and lispassionasc-
fy, and pass resolutions. Sucl a meeting
might be productive Of great good and lead
to important results, provided its sentiments
were not dictated by such hot-lendoa and
suiphurous warriors a. M1LLEn, LIED, md
ROBINSON.
The constituency which these warriors
represent may be divided into three classes.
Tho frat Is composed Of mon out Of employ
ment, destitute md desperate, who own no
property, pay no taxoB, havo no work and
want none. They care nothing for T11nzH,
nothing for principles. They thrive best in
times of civil commotion, whom opportuni-
ties for plumber aro moro abundant, nnd ut
such TINA. would sseal and pillnge from
Republican md Democrat alike. Tho second
class comprises tho of1lce-seekers, who view
with apprehension the possibility Of losing
their hold upon All Office and It's fat picling8
In thcae hard times. They aro tho mon who
want to distribute tho letters, to handle
tho moneys collected from taxation,
to run tho custom-houscs, to hare
the koys Of u diatillory over night, and to
convince the country Of their ability to
withstand temptation. They arc all for
war. Tho third c1ass is set Of mischieyouB
newspapers, which, for purposes Of aenBa-
tion antl in order to sell moro copies, below
for war. They belong to both parties, md
pretend to believe that their own side Ia
right beyond MI question; that there is no
issue ponding, legal or othorwise; and that
thoir own man will DO put In tho CHAR be-
cause ho has boon elected beyond tho
shadow of doubt. Thoy know that thoy
are 1iara and mischiot-makers, and that their
course Is inspired simply by the desire to
magnify themselves aud sell extra papers.
The groat maas Of tho people, composed Of
respectable, honest, industrious, law-abiding
mon, have no sympathy with either Of these
three classes, headed by tho MINERS, L1EBs,
and Ros1NsoNs. They lava no sympathy
with Tho reckless Comnunistic elements of
society, with tho ravenous horde OF Office
seekers, or with Sensational newspapors
They will demand that tho settlement Of the
pending questions shall be accomplished by
reference to tho laws, and in calm, Just,
and upright manner, without prejudice or
malice.
