THE GEGHAN REPEAL.
ENDORSED ORIGINALLYBYLEAD-
ING REPUBLICANS WHO NOW
OPPOSE LIBERTY OF CON-
SCIENCE.

Mr.. EDITOR We are informed by the
press that the lower branch of the Leg
islaIure has voted to repeal the Geghan
law. What are the reasons for this hasty
action? We are told that it was a strict
party vote. That law has not been a
year on the statute book. When on its
first passage it was endorsed by leading
Republicans. The present speaker of the
House, an astute lawyer in an especial
manner commended the bill as being in
consonance with our bill of rights. Did
those members who with theiroath offeal-
ty to the Constitution still hot upon their
lips discoverinherent defects in the law,
by which wrong would inure to any class
of citizens, when they voted thus to wipe
out of existence statute, made to secure
the interests of all2 Who will answer
year Not one. For no one can point
out a provision of the law creating dis.
tinCtions between classes or individuals
On the contrary it was intended to, and
did abolish distinctions, not warranted
by, but forbidden by the Constitution,
which had grown up under State admin
istration respecting religious privileges
extended to the inmates of our charitable
and penal institutions.
The law in question simply required
the officers fthose institutions to per-
init (without expense to the State) all
within their control to exercise the right
of conscience in seeking the consultations
of religion, and prohibited co lrcion in
securing attendance upon any form of
worship.
Now, Mr.. Editor, 1 ask you upon what
grounds compatible with justice or pat
rlotism, or the solemn guarantees of the
Constitution or the still more solemn in
functions of christianity? can exception
be taken to the provisions of that law
1t enforced charity to all and encouraged
malice towards none? Then why repeal
1t? What interest demanded it. What
party or clique INDUCED the delusive
hope of future benefit from repeal? 1t
was by unanimous Republican vote the
object was accomplished. Can it be that
the mass of Republicans throughout the
State have determined to re-light the
torch of religious hatred under whose
red glare men have committed the worst
crimes known to history? Can it be
that the party has forgotten its early ten
cts which taught equality before the law,
and the abolition Of every form of polit-
ical oppression2 1t would seem so ifthe
Republican members fairly represent
their party in this action. Political cum
ming may unite with bigotry to unsettle
the foundations of civil and religious lib
erty as our fathers laid them, but the
people who have not turned their faces
towards the dark ages, will rise up to re-
buke this wrong and its perpetrators. In
this as in other things it may be found
that mad ambition o'erleaps itself"
JUSTICE.

ALL Mr.. Voorhees's skill and power as
a lawyer could not save Mckee. All
that lawyers could do was done, but the
Jury after weighing the crooked testi-
mony and considering the law, brought
in, guilty, 1t is sad, when we consider
that Mckee was the great Republican
Grant leader and editor in st. Louis. The
next case is that of Babcock. who is pri-
vate Secretary to the President of the
United States
And yet yet there are people who wish
to continue such men or their next
friends in power, and so continue, Are
not all the Democratic charges of cor
ruption and mal-administration being
fully proved? Can the political party
who have sustained such men and such
system survive and continue in power?
We shall see.
