THE OPPOSITION TO HAYES.

In the Eureka Sentinel of the 18th inst, an
article on 1.-THE Party and the President" is
concluded as follows
Earnest Republicans will range themselves
under the banner of Blaine, and we shall be
greatly disappointed if the whole affair does
not eliminate in the Reputation by the party
leaders of both the President and his policy.
All of the indications at this writing certainly
point very strongly in this direction.
1t were better said that Senator Blaine is
ranging himself under the banner OF earnest
Republicanism But for such acts and utter
ances as his in the House Of Representatives
there would have been less encouragement
offered to party treason than has been appar-
ent. Thinking TO make himself favorite at
the South Mr.. (then Speaker) Blaine, SO
coquetted with the Southern members as to
gain their admiration and their expressions
of extreme friendliness. They were glad of
his services as against the Force Bill and
Civil Rights Act, for they knew that so long
as the law gave the President the right to
preserve fairplay at the polls they had no
chance of success When he found their ad
miration stopped short of a trustful gratitude
which should lift him to the Presidency, he
kicked Then he assailed Ben Hill; then,
also, his blood being up, and he being the
most desperate of (dramatic) gamesters when
in tight place, he beat Proctor Knott and
his confederates at their own game 50
splendidly as to win the applause of all sides

We have rccited these facts before. Also We
have reminded our friends that Chamberlain
of South Carolina owes it to his own unman-
full coquetries with the Democrats of that
State that he finally came to grief Some
how, he lacked either the courage or the con-
sistency or the moral honesty to stand by his
friends, the black men, and be their leader
their Moses, as Andy Johnson had 1t. But
it would be folly to repudiate the very useful
services of Mr.. Blaine. He is an exceedingly
adroit, able and popular man. He is the
mouthpiece of large body of very active and
earnest Republicans. Moreover, he is dead
right in opposing Hayes-if he is opposing
him. But if the Republican party is to be
led to battle for itself and as against the
the champions of State Rights-and that is
the fight, as much now as in 1S6O-it must
have some other object in view than to make
this man, that, or the other, the President of
the United States. There must be an upris-
ing of the people too dreadfully in earnest to
have thought of any one mans little selfish
game. If this uprising comes, if there shall
be shown to be a solid North to put its face
against the solid South, then will come an
assertion of Nationality which will sweep all
else away and reseat the power and majesty
and full grandeur of the Republic in the
place where now sits man who has betrayed
one party and sought to debauch another.
These are the coming politics of the times,
pure and simple; and if Mr.. Blaine and Mr.
Morton and their fellow aspirants to the Pres
idency are as loyal as their words make them
seem, they will forget self, forget individual
forget the destinations Of the
yame of personal politics and be found fighting !
in the ranks-anxiously seeking, apart from
themselves or their likes and dislikes for the |
strongest, most trusted and most available |
grounds If the tide rises the deluge Will |
come-elsewise there is no North to resent |
spirhets and detraction, only q North TO
.esent blows.
