The Republicans of Maine are trying
the ostiacising system on their Green
back and Democratic opponents, and
are using the power of the church in
particular against them. The clergy
men, who are for the most part Re
publicans, took occasion last Sunday to
preach sermons in severe denunoiation
of what they style the Democratic con-
spiracy. Tie Congregational Church of
Bangor, of which one of the Governors
Council is a member, has under advise
ment his expulsion. Gov. Garcelon also,
who is q member OF the Methodist
Church, has been frequently insulted
and preached against by his own pastor.
As for the Greenback papers, they are
being browbeaten in the matter Of ad-
vertisements, these being taken from
them by Republican advertisers il they
indorse and support the course of the

There lately died in this State an old

intcndent was suddenly taken III. lie

night the doctor frankly told him that
he had better prepare for the worst. In
this emergency one of the conductors
was sent for, and the patient began:

God Knows Which Was Right.

Somewhere in one of the border
States, it is said, there is monument
erected by father over his two sons,
who died fighting on opposite sides in
the late war. Two sides of it contain
Inscriptions to the memory of the fallen,
and third is inscribed, "God knows
which was right" We do not know
whether the story is true, or the in
ventor of somebody's fancy it has an
air of probability, and is very likely
true. 1t contains, at any rate, good
deal of sentiment and pathos, and it is
not strange that it has been made to do
service on one or two of those festive
occasions at which the representatives
of the lately contending sections have
endeavOred to smooth over past differ
ences and say pleasant things to each
other. We have no disposition to crit
icise the tender and affectionate senti-
ment with which the stricken father
strove to put away from his own mind
and memory the fact of their differ
ences, and to leave it to Higher Power
to judge between them. He may have
been so much in doubt himself as to
which side was right in the great con-
tention as to have been not merely un-
willing but actually unable to give
positive opinion and so have phrased
his honest doubt in the quoted words.
However that may be, no one can find
fault with the parental tenderness which
took this mute appeal from the fallibil-
ity of human judgment.
But we do most positively and warm
ly protest against transferring the
motto of this tablet to the official rec
ord. Let our sentimentalism at least
stop short of self qualification. We are
not willing, nor are millions of patriots
who either participated in the sacrifices
of the struggle, or Inherited the glOries
of them, willing to admit by any legis-
lative action or official utterance that
there is any question whatever who or
which side was right in the controversy
which ended in the suppression of re-
bellion and establishment of the Union.
The differences which eliminated in
the war had been too long under dis
cussion, the issues were too sharply
defined and too well understood, for
men to question their own conclusions
or their convictions Of duty. And we
are not yet far enough away, if indeed
we ever shall be, from the seriousness
and solemnity of that period to be able
to dismiss it all with "God knows
which was right Since the war closed
and the Right triumphed we have en-
deavored by every possible means to
conciliate those who were in the wrong
and were defeated. They have been
restored to all the privileges they for
feited by rebellion they have scarcely
suffered punishment or penalty except
such as was the immediate effect of
their own acts. The very men who
eighteen years ago deliberately dis
owned their allegiance and went into
rebellion are back to day in the National
Congress making laws for the Govern
ment which they failed to destroy. Not
only that they have brought back the
