WILLIAM A. WHEELER,
or NEW roRx.
THE SECOND or MARCH, 1871.
At ten minutes after four this norm
ing the news went forth from Washing
ton 10 the world. that this Government
was strong enough to rssist all attempts
TO d~issrsanizs IL BY ~hrs-sating rsvolu
tionists. AT that hour the President Of
the Senate. with due solsmniiy. and In
the dignihsd terms which the Law pre-.
scribes. proclaimed 10 the assembled
houses Of Congress. and through them
to the nation. that Rutherford d. Hayes
was elected President Of these United
States. for the four years beginning al
noon on Sunday next.
We have passed through the most
bitter struggle which q Republic ever
sustained. and come forth from
IL unframed. On the whole. no
true patriot Who IL devoted to
Republican Institutions can regret
that the trial came. II has injured Us
temporarily BY pros,rating business and
depressing trade. but Il has shown rs
wherein lies our weakness. and pointed
out to US the means Of ~rsnsdying the
defects Of our Government. Az the
fathers Of the nation suffered fer = ven
years In order 10 establish . worthy her.
i,sge for their children. 30 We for the
past few months have suffered that the
children Who arc TO come after US may
be made moro sscur in tho enjoyment
Of their dearly priced liberties. The
price which vs have paid 10 mono too
large for the prize that Va have gsined.
The second OF March will hereafter Be
q historical day in the annals Of this
country. For four mouths q well OF.
ganized band Of revolutionists. under
the lead Of probably the shrewdest and
most tricky lawyer in tho land. have
been plotting and laboring to destroy
the fundamental principles Of this Gov
eminent. and foist upon tho people rs
ruler . man whom they despiss. and
have rejected at the polls. On this day
patriotism has ~triumphsd over anarchy.
and the plottsrs have been put down
without . drop Of blood having been
shed. On this day il has been declared
that the voice Of . free people 10 the
voice OF God. and that Il must and shall
be obeysj. On this day wshave demon.
straisd 10 . world which was anIiously
watching Us, that Republican instiiu.
tons arc not . failure. and that Gov
eminent founded on popular rights a
10 sustained. Glory enough for ons
day. and for n nation.
Throughout the long struggle between
patriotism aud revolution. even in the
darkest days. when the schemes Of the
plottsrs seemed almost at the point Of
fruition. the NKws has never ono wa
vrred In Ito faith that ultimately justice
would triumph and the cause Of right
prevail. Our faith was founded on the
Iet sral intelligence Of the American
people, and the belief that the influence
Of that intelligence mus, finally work
upon the discordant elements In WASH
instoa and force them TO rstnes their
steps. And now the svsnts Of the wee
sma' hou~ Of this svsr-to-b~rsmsn-
Lsred Second Of March. come 70 justify
US in our faith. and TO shame thess Who
deserted their eolors when their pres
sucs and active work was most needed.
Let the Lesson be taken homo by weak
kused Republicans all ever the land.
Nsvsr give mp the ship until the enemy
has taken IL.
