cooking it. Phillips laShed his horse and drove

ton bills have been flung at the Presi-
dent, with the threat of starving the
Government if he ventured to exercise
the veto power.
Such is the spectacle that Democracy
has presented to the country, especially
since the commencement of the extra
session of Congress. 1t is spectacle of
old issues revived by the Democrats, and
of exploded heresies returning to life
again. All Republican attempts at con-
ciliation seem to have been of no effect.
The Republican party cannot live at the
South and under Democratic rule Re-
publicans cannot even vote freely there.
1t is in such facts and events that we find
the true reason why the Republican con-
servatives have become "stalwarts." We
cannot doubt that Mr.. Greeley, if he
were living, would see the reason, and
himself be a "stalwart." Republican.
Theoretically it is not desirable that the
politics of this country should assume
the sectional form; yet the policy pur-
sued by the Democracy of the South,
supplemented by that of the North, prac-
tically compels the Republican North
and West to buckle on the armor and
vote down this sectional Democracy.
The old question of the supremacy of the
National Government is again a living
issue and will enter largely into the next
Presidential election. If armies are not
needed to suppress a rebellion, voters
will be needed to crush out theory
which once led to the greatest rebellion
of history. Republicans must supply
these voters.

The Jackson Excursion

We received the jackson Standard last
week containing an editorial article and
also communication from the Mayor of
that town, marked, both of which con-
denim in the strongest terms the action
of some of the members of the jackson
Fire Company in wilfully throwing
stream of water over the crowd of visiting
Athenians assembled to witness the per-
formance of their machine. The trick
a0as rather dirty one, even if water was
the element used, but as we knew broth
er Mackley, of the Standard, and the
good people of Jackson generally would
strongly condemn it, we forebore to make
mention of it in our notice of the excur-
sion last week, being disposed to submit
to the outrage in silence rather than cast
unmerited odium on a generous and
warm hearted community, such as that
of Jackson, and we think we can safely
assure the citizens of that town, on the
part of all who participated in the excur-
sion, that this little affair will not be
remembered unkindly against them. AS
general rule, our citizens are rather par
tial to water, in limited quantities. The
action of the Standard and Mayor of
jackson in this matter, however, is high
ly commendable, and just such as we
should have expected at their hands.
