longer serve their purpose. q The
people are determined to have Re-.
form. ri They are resolved that the
policy Of the government shall be
changed, 50 As. to.prevent the rapid
aggregation Of the wealth Of the:
country in the hands Of the few and
the, consequent inpoverishn'ent of
the masses. .1nj 3ni .1:r'. - +.
If neither Of the old parties will
take up their. cause, and place in
nomination men in whose compe-
tcncy and fidelity they can depend,
they will desert them both, and rally
around new leaders of their own
choosing, upon whose intelligence
and honesty they can rely. 1t has
been said that "the public is pa
tient ass:;" so it is, but even the
most complaisant donkey has a limit
to his endurance. The people of
this country are already bearing their
full load, and will not abide the con-
tinual heaping up Of the burthen.
On the contrary, they insist on being
relieved of a share Of that which has
already been crowded upon them
under false pretenses and without
their consent.
We hope the republican leaders
will realize this, and, instead of con-
tinuing to bow their necks to the
money interest and allow themselves
to be but tools of those whose only
god is gold, that they will remember
that it is the people generally who
ought to be the objects Of their sol1c-
itude; and consent to turn their at
tention and efforts in future to adj
vancing the welfare of these. If
they do not, the time of their pre-
dominance in controlling the gov
ernment is rapidly drawing to a close,
for the people will not submit to
continued oppression: The utter
prostration Of business prevalent
throughout the country is Of far more
consequence than the events Of ten
years and more ago. and to obviate
the continuance of this is the task
to which it is demanded that the po-
litical leaders shall apply themselves.

The 9Ioody.Shirt, Haranguss

The 9Ioody.shirt~ Harangus
As time moves on&apace the po-
litical leaders proceed to fan the
flames Of partyism with. increasing
vigor, and already we are deafened
with the din Of, crimlnations and re-
examinations about the causes of the
war and its incidents and cruelties.
To a stranger, not acquainted with
our history, we must seem like two
hostile communities unwillingly yok-
ed together as one nation. The
democrats are fond OF accusing the
republicans Of Haunting the bloody
Shirt" and their leaders are ambi-
tious to tell their side Of the story,
and show that. they have the best
right to shake out the crimson-hued
garment.
Now, what difference does it
make whether the Southerners mall
treated the prisoners they captured
in the fratricidal war, or the North
erners let those they had die of hum
ger and cold? Ought we not to be
equally ashamed of such deeds?
Are we not one nation, one kindred,
one tongue and one people? Are
we not all alike culpable, if either
was savage and cruel? Can we
hope that these accusations will ele-
vate us in the estimation of foreign
ers? Is it not as if members of the
same household should bear testi-
mony to each others unworthiness?
Certainly the less said about these
unfortunate occurrences the better
for all our regulations.
Are. the two political parties Of
this country a sectional party and
secession party? This "bloody-
shirt" business would make it seem
so, and did we not know that those
who buster so valorously on either
side never did fight and never will,
we might fear that their conduct is
the premonitory symptom of fresh
outbreak. The folly of such GRIM
inations and recrininations is so ap-
parent that we cannot suppose those
who indulge in them fail to perceive
it, and, hence, we must believe that
they resort to this line Of argument
for some other purpose than what
appears on the surface. They can
not be serious. The democratic
portion will not, for a moment, ad-
init that theirs is a secession organi-
cation; nor will the republican por-
tion consent that their organization
is SECTIONAL
sVhat can be the hidden purpose
which these leading politicians have
in view? Is it not to obviate the
necessity which they see arising for
a definite expression of their views
touching important questions now
agitating the popular mind? We
believe 50. They are not yet pre-
pared to take a stand in relation to
financial reform, the tariff, the trans
portation system, etc., and have
good reason to suspect that the po-
sition the people generally occupy
relative to these issues is antagonis-
tic to that in which the money kings
of the country are to be found. TO
be elected they must obtain the
votes Of the people, but to be able
to make the canvass triumphantly
they want the money of the wealthy,
How can they obtain both? Only
by ruling out Of the canvass all
questions respecting which the two
classes are at variance. This is
why they hang out the war-encrim-
:soned garment, and seek to divert
the attention of the people from the
real issues now before the country
by appeals to their passions and
-prejudices.

The New York Witness is a

the nature Of both religious and

all trades" it is good at neither.

no less lenient treatment than any

MI. IdItOu, more famous 1OT
being Fanny Ferns" second hus-
band than for anything he ever did
himself, although writer of consid-
cradle ability, recently married his
own step-daughter in Massachusetts,,
and found out next day that his mar
riage was in violation of a law Of
that State. This incident has caus-
ed the law in question to be gener-
ally criticised and frequently con-
demned. There is one phase of
this question which, it seems to us,
has been overlooked. A step-daugh-
ter is subjected from childhood to
the authority and influence of her
step-father, and were such marriages
to become common, it IS easy to
perceive that, in case Of the mothers
death, this parental influence and
authority would be exerted to pre-
vent the young lady exercising any
choice in the selection of husband.
The step-father might not compel
her to accept him, but, by restrain
ing her from associations with 9TH
er men, he might leave her no choice
and condemn her to an unhappy
and ill-spent life. And. again, to a
mind of ordinary refinement there is
something abhorrent in the idea of
the same man being the husband of
both mother and daughter. We like
that old Massachusetts, law.

During the recent session of the
Plymouth Advisory Council, the ex-
amining committee Of that church
demanded Of Mr.. Bowen that he
should perform his promise and tell
the committee what he knew against
MI. Beecher. In making this prom
ise, Mr.. Bowen had said emphatical-
ly that he would not make the
statement except to the committee
privately, and that whatever names
were mentioned should be regarded
as sacred against public utterarce
even to the church. The committee
only was to know who the parties
are, and it could then interview them
privately as to the accuracy of Mr..
Bowens statements. On reaching
the place OF meeting in Mr.. Halli-
days residence, whittier he was &C.
conlpanied by DR.. Ward and his two
sons, Mr. Bowen found himself in
the presence, not only Of the COM
,nittee, but of some twenty or thirty
other persons. He expressed his
surprise, but after brief conversa-
tion, read his statement. When he
had finished, he was asked for his
verifcations, dates, names Of per-
sons, etc. These he refused to give
and was abou! to withdraw, when
one Of the committee ran and lock
ed the door and put the key in his
pocket. Upon that Mr.. Bowen
rushed to the back door and escap-
ed. If Mr.. Bowen has really SLAM
dered Mr.. Beecher, why does not
the latter apply to the courts for re-
lief and compel him either to prove
his charges or retract them? Such
proceedings as the above are dis
gusting, to say the least.

AT the time Of this writing
FRIDAY afternoon> we are in receipt
of the intelligence that Gen. Bab-
cock has been acquitted OF compile
ity in the whisky frauds. The jury
were absent but a short time. It
will not do to say that there was no
evidence against Gen. Babcock, for
there was some pretty strong testi
mony. 1t was not, however, of that
positive kind necessary to establish
guilt, and the case was one Of a char
acter which it is always extremely
difficult to prove. Although he is
acquitted by the court and must be
held to be not guilty, the suspicious
circumstances developed in the trial
will always be sufficient to snirch
his reputation in the estimation of
the public. He will be believed by
many to be guilty, and. unfortunate
ly for himself, he has afforded them
too solid a foundation for that opin-
ion. Under such circumstances he
ought, in justice to his friends and
in Difference to popular sentiment, to
retire from his present prominent
position. There is no injustice in
volved in asking him to do this. He
must remember that his being a sus-
pected person is the fault of him.
self and his associates, and not OF
the community generally; and he
ought not to blame the latter if they
hold him responsible for such fault.
They cannot help doing so, for they
must judge him from partial stand
point, and without having the adj.
vantage of thorough information.
If he retires to a more private po-
sition he will escape these censures,
but by striving to maintain himself
in a prominent official situation, he
will not only attract censure and
abuse, but will subject his friends to
similar offensive treatment.
