SOME days ago Hon. HAMILTON FISH as
serted that in his opinion we were in less
danger from the imperialism of our rulers
than from the imperialism Of partisans,
We think it is easy to see that the real
danger TO our institutions comes from q
turns and to defeat by tricks of law the
will of the people as expressed at the ballot
box. A writer in the New York Times
truthGully says
There is no doubt that we are threatened
with this sort Of imperialism. 1t is not I'M
possible that the approaching presidential
election may be the last free and fair elec.
ton this generation will ever see. The next
president may come into Office in such a way
as 10 render it quite possible for his personal
followers TO keep him in Office for life. Tho
danger, however, is not threatened by the
republican party, nor by the patriotic soldier
who is to be its candidate, The real enemies
Of our present form of government are to be
found in the democratic party and il is the
democratic majority in congress which threat.
ems US with imperialism"
The chuckling of the democratic organs
over the passage by the senate Of the bill
to deprive the supervisors of their offices
and prevent their reappointmont marks the
first step taken in the plot to steal the
presidency. The starving out Of the United
States marshals, the attempt to deprive fed
eral courts of their jurisdiction in certain
cases. the new joint rule which makes it
possible to throw out the vote of Maine be-
cause the electoral vote is transmitted by
SMITH instead Of GARcELoN, are all move;
toward the imperialism from which our
only hope is the election Of republican
president by such a majority as will intim
idate the conspirator. 1t will be just as
well also TO have in that president mar
with whom il will be dangerous for traitors
and rebels TO trife.

THIS is the first time in the history of the
republican party when any of its members
have thought it in the line of duty to
threaten TO become rebels if they cannot
control it in regard to nominations and
policies. The man who says he won't sup
port the party because he cannot dictate its
policy and candidates puts himself in line
with the rebels of 1861.

papers that even moth would avoid and
hence there may be something in this anti

As The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN has
heretofore contended, if the unit rule can
be honorably broken at will in convention
it can be in the electoral college-for in the
state conventions the principle Of instruc-
ton bears with the same binding force
upon the delegate in the discharge of his
duty in the national convention as the eX-
pressed will of the people in the election
bears upon the presidential elector in the
electoral college, where he is to demonstrate
his good or bad faith to his constituents.
It would be just as deiensible for an elector
to betray his trust as for q delegate TO the
national convention, who had accepted
position under specific instructions, to vio-
late his faith. The parallel is perfect and
the betrayal of confidence the same in each
case, and yet men who pretend to be
honorable in their instincts and actions in
other relations in life are openly egginp
delegates on to violate their plighted faith
and betray those who have trusted them
If this style of political ethics is adopted,
any party which adopts it disintegrRtes its
power Of cohesion, and IL is not worth the
soil to cover its defuuct remains.

carried that state by vote of over two to
one, and in 1876 we had n majority of six

Free.
This work is simply record of horrors
that shock the sensibilities of civilization.
They may bo over.wrought under the force of
imagination sharpened by suffering but if
the half that is told is true, it affords strong
reason why the rebellion should never have
been forgiven, or the rebels restored to conf
dence. An. attempt to peruse this volume
cannot be long pursued by the sensitive mind
without arousing feeling of deep.seated in
dignation that can find no relief in words. 1t
is simply barbarous and shocking and de-
serves the vengeance of heaven, for the scenes
portrayed in these six hundred pages are
sufficient to invite the wrath of an
offended heaven, for they violate all
the rites and laws of civilization, chris
tianity and humanity, and make us wonder
that one of these cruel offenders should ever
have found his way back to confidence, re-
spect and distinction. But so it is. Under the
clemency of the government and the forgiv.
ing disposition of those who saved the ma.
tional life against the assaults of those who
were responsible for many OF the barbarities
narrated in this volume they are now permit.
ted to fill positions of distinction in the gov.
ernment, and to tread the halls of congress
with an air of superiority that indicates to the
loyal man, 81 am better than you" He who
doubts the atrocities perpetrated upon
our union soldiers who, under the cas-
ualties of war, became prisoners, has
only to read this narrative, which j:
largely if not entirely true, to he convinced
that hell has no fury equal to that which out.
ragged our helpless boys in blue while in south
ern prison-pens. We turn from this narrative
with Ioathing, for civilization has no covering
or cOndouement for the Outrages therein sci
forth, and which we verify believe are founded
in truth. 1t is not romance, but is the reve
laton of history which calls upon righteou!
heaven to put forth the avenging arm of al
mighty power. The perpetrators of these in
humanities are now plotting that history ma,
repeat itself after they shall have secured full
power over government that they woult
have destroyed but for the bravery of ou
soldiers who suffered in prison-pens or kep
the field until the right triumphed.
