In all the talk Of war, murder and
bloodshad so prevalent at present, we are
glad to see that but little Of it is INDUCED
In by Republicans. And We apprehend
that there are many valiant Demo.
Gratis who are now indulging in 1t who
will be sorry for 1t before many months
pass away. Some are very much exer-
cised over the loss Of their liberties just
now. They see In every act Of the Chief
Executive Of tho nation usurpation and
tyranny. Especially are they alarmed
at the sending OF few troops into some
Of the States OF the Union where they
we'll know there has existed for years u
system OF intimidation OF loyal men that
has no parallel even in the worlds dark
cat ages. II the President has transcend.
ed his power or done violence TO the
Constitution in the matter, why no: i'm
peach him and stop all this senseless
iwaddle about war and bloodshed. The
American people do not want a war, and
II is the demsgogue, not the patriot, who
INDUCES in this talk. The daily Register
Ii full OF such talk, and we apprehend
could the editors Of that rebellious sheet
hear the comments oithe good men Of the
Democratic party concerning the course
pursued by ii, both before and since the
election, It would fill its pages, at least
now and then, with different reading from
what il does. We particularly refer to an
article In yesterdays RegiSter, signed
"Unus," which is in point here. We do
not know who "Unus" is, but we do know
that he Is not a statesman in the true
sense Of the word, nor can he sustain the
sweeping charges Of corruption made
against the Republican party. He'takes
il for granted that every act done just
now and every word uttered by
Republican is done or spoken
against the country. We do not
claim that the great party that saved the
country twelve years ago has made no
mistakes. It made one great mistake in
being too lenient with rebels, and perhaps
this may be the reason why "UnusS is
permitted to spit his venom at pleasure
against men who have done more for the
good Of this great country Of ours than
q score OF such men as he could do.
He speaks Of the overwhelming popu.
lar majority received by Tilden, but he
fails TO tell that nearly all Of il comes
from tho very States that tried for four
years 10 destroy the very Union 10 now
processes TO love 80 we'll. He fails 10 tell
that in those States that were iVyslirnm
first to last in our great struggle. Tor ma
tional existence, Hayes received nearly
100000 majority Of the popular vote.
No, this would not suit his ends. This
would not leave the impression that lie
wishes left on the minds Of his readers.
This would not get up the war spirit he
seeks to cngender. When the great war
does come which he fears would have 10
be inNugurated, we apprehend thut
"Unus" would be n stay.at.home soldier.
We carnestly hope that war may be
averted. We would fain believe that
there are patriotic men enough in
both parties to prevent it. But il it
must come let the demagogues OF the
Democratic party be the ones 10 inaugu-
rate II, and il they do II, though the Re.
publicans are passive now the old spirit
Of 1861, ten fold increased, will again,
save the nation from ruin and il will be
done 30 eGectually that hydra headed
treason will be buried 40 deep that Il will
never again DO resurrected. Our advice
TO "Unus" Ia to cease his scribbling and
attend to his law books, and let prudent,
iareeing patriots, work out tho difficult
problem OF our national difficulties.
JUSTICE.
