people upon their Own resource Ii
~lll compel them to do their o~n
thinking. and worse than all their
own voting. Where, We ask, are the
people OF the frontier settlements TO
find party leaders, if this order is to
he obeyed: Who is to mould public
opinion and give tone to popular
sentiment. if this rule is to obtain
Who is to furnish the sinews OF war
for future political contests, if our
office-holders are to be deprived of
the dearest rights to them known of
managing Republican primaries and
controlling party conventions? Who
will infuse life into communities that
have become widowed from the eli
matte influence of lifetime spent
on this rugged, barbarous coast =?
Must we, of necessity, gulp down a
policy which Restraints these anxious
hearts and willing hands from dis
charging a duty at once SO suited to
their nature and congenial to their
feelings? On the eastern seaboard,
where numbers supply an aggregate
of wisdom capable of guiding the car
of progress safely over the ruts worn
in the pathway of Time, the loss is
not SO seriously felt; but with us the
situation is far different. We are
far from the hub of the political
chariot, and every revolution threat
ems to leave us laundering in the
.mire.
If we had formed any idea that it
was so much of task to endorse the
acts of G Republican President, we
doubt whether the effort would have
been made; and now. just as we
were about to organize an army of In
vincibles in support of the Admins
tration, it is with undisguised cha
grin we find our supply of raw mate
rial reduced to the Nobodies who
don't know how to run the political
machine and haven't the incentive to
do it, if they did possess the requisite
knowledge. Hold. Mr.. President
it isn't fair to engage us in the Fal
staffian duty of mastering recruits
and then withdraw the only element
seeking enlistment. In the name OF
those sterling patriots whose arms
drop supinely by their sides under
the merciless blow, we protest. Re
move the obnoxious order aud lie
peace again reign amid the distract
ed brotherhood.
