HONOR IN POLITICS.

The speech of Mr.. Gorham, part Of which
we published yesterday, is the outgrowth nj
necessary defense of honorable manhood as
against the sinister and dishonest carpln5S
which have for years followed the Republican
party, all over the Union. Mr. Gorham 4 ),
covers clearly that the next Presidential eec,
ton will call forth the best energies of true
men, and as a very proper preliminary he
makes a stslwart plea for the rights OF true
Republicans and of the Republican party as
is an encouragement to such men to come
forward aud assume their rightful place IN
politics; and, secondly, fearless and fitting
rebuke to that pretentious demagoglsm OF
which such men as Frank Pixley are the ex-
ponents.
The Republican party has for years heard
the incessant din and row which has been
kept up by the selfish and dishonest crew who
have never looked beyond self interest for
political motive. The gentlemen and patriots
who have acted upon principle and convictions
of right who in the field or factory, in the
diversified avocstions of honest labor, or IN
the learned professions, have made up the
grand phaIanx of the purest, noblest and most
humane political party ever organized, have
through that self respect which dlgnifes the
human species, shrunk from entering the
filthy contest made necessary by the false as
PENSIONS against the Republican party that
have made up the stock in trade of a set of
political assassins The result has been, that
through such concessions were from time
to time thought necessary TO preserve at least
the nominal strength OF the party as against
the active treason of the Democracy; through
that unselfsh and disinterested patriotism
which has, whenever in any sense allowable,
waived its claims to office and ought to APP
pease the ravenings of the hungry political
camp followers and dead beats; through that
generosity which has been mistaken for COW
ardice, and in fine, by mistaken if not crimi
nal desire for success at the cost of the rights
of the party itself, we have at last the salts
faction of seeing the Rebel-Democracy again
in almost unquestioned ascendency, and the
Republican party depending for its ma orities
here or there, upon set of political hounds
VINO are rSauy W pelIdy IL Iol TIC Sdhe vi
loaves and fishes.
The time has fully come for the row to be-
gin in good earnest for the rights of the Re-
publican party, and Mr.. Gorham has done a
good work in opening the ball. 1t is certain |
that the Presidency is to be won next year by |
no still hunt system. 1t has become evil |
dent that no amount of qulescence will secure |
the honest cooperation of such as have here
tofore habitually betrayed the Republican |
party 1t must assert unqualifedly its own
rights, and appeal, with brave, patriotic words
to the people to stand again shoulder to shout
der against the aggressons of the not yet de
funct slave oligarchy of the South and its
Bringing allies, the dough faces of the North,
1t must sound the long roll of danger and
drown the tin horn din and craze of confusion
which always betokens the presence of pohti-
cal harpies, and promptly send to the rear the
Swans and jack-asses that are SO useless for
fighting purposes.
Nevada has some OF the same sort of bust
ness on hand as that indicated in the course
of Mr.. Gorhams remarks upon Mr.. Frank
Pixley, who acted as Chairman of the Cali
fornia State Republican Convention, and the
arousng Of the Republican party from its
lethargy has come none too soon. The spirit
shown by Gorham in California will animate
the party throughout the nation, and the
tried and true elements in the party will pre-
sent such men and Republicans before the
country as will make the fight worth the
winning.
AN INDIVIDUAL who probably claims to
be one of the most respectable and in
telligent citizens of Ormsby is greatly COM
forted at the - weak and whining course of
late pursued by the APPEAL, and at the same
time suffers the ordinary Democratic nervous
ness when Federal interference with State
rights hovers in view. His true business,
