We call the attention ofthe Republican,
the blood shirt organ, the advocate of
hate, and a solid North against the South
to the sermon of his Master in Israel
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher on last Sab
bath. Let the Republican now hear him
who was Of Sharp's rifle memory in the
pulpit. Henry Ward Beecher said on
Observation-Disclosures" 1--WE should love
men and hate nothing the worst infidel-
lty is that which runs down the tone of
christian temper, and christian feeling"
He speaks of the difficulties lax tone of
sentiment and conscience, the tone of
society very low-it is more than that

A malign and morbid influence we
have from our newspaper. Rome had her
gladiatorI, Spain her bull fights, Eng
land her bear batting and America her
newspapers. Now from this state of
public sentiment how easily that there
should grow up sectional dishkes. This
people was divided by an invisible line,
morally visible enough-and this great
nation was separated the N orth from the
South and stood in bloody antagonism
through five years and now my own

out a parallel in human nature, and any
means tending to stir up spirit OF
animosity bet ween the North and the
South or between the east and the west
or the German and the Irish or the white

Ons.
We are all one, all united. When
there was need tho North should be
nerved to great exertion In order to
counteraot the arrogant assertions oi
plantation supremacy was not wanting
In courage to speak. Now when thai
time is past and the time has come fol
peace, and love an1 union speak again
We are all united together on one ship
we sail all to q prosperous voyage to-
gether, or we allfounder together. Wha1
we need is love, sympathy, communion
The Republicans ought to heed this
This paper ought also to hear WIN. ID
Kelley, who used to be one of its apostles
who said in Il speech in Congress tn,
other day the people could not gain pros
pcrity by hate.
