spirit Of non partisanship can justly ceen. AS
long "a it begins not there, it is sheer falthiess-
ness to the most solemn duties of citizenship
If the Democratic party wants an end OF par
tisan excitement about wrongs at the oou'h,
let it Join heartily with Republicans IN putting
an end to the wrongs at the South. kepuon'
cans not only have right to demand pu' uio
in duty bound to demand, that these wrongs
shall be stopped, not because they are nur,'ul
TO one party or another, but because they
strike ut the roots of free government.
No one doubts that the Presdent-elect sees
clearly what duty to the country requires. A'
the Chief Executive, whose duty 1t VIII DC
boreafter to recommend needful legislation, ne
ia in q position not wholly unlike that oil MI
Lincoln at his first Inauguration. He knows
the will and the fixed convictions OF the lOyai
neonle. and may well desire that the spirit III
which they approach grave duty shaii no' 10
misunderstood. Mr.. Lincoln, in all the KIND
ness of his great heart, appealed with Solemn
earnestness to those who were assaillhg '"o
Union. and warned them that all the power
of the Government must be employed to nam
toin tbe supremacy of the Constitution ana
the laws. In a different way. the Constitution
is again defed. War is In progress, not
merely against the form OF Union, but against
the very spirit and essence OF Tree govern
ment All the power that the Nation possesses
must be excrted, if necessary, to put down
this resistance. 1t may be that the President
elect will think it proper to set forth, III
kindly but earnest and solemn words, the con-
victons of loyal people on this matter, and to
point out the duty which rests upon those
who are charged with the government 1t Is
time to have it understood that partisanship
which sets at naught tho Constitution and the
laws is neither more nor less than rebesm'
These are not unmeaning words: "Ihe
Omitted States shall guarantee to every State
:" republican form of government" A fresh
and strong declaration of the duty of the
Nation in this respect might not please those
who have deficd the Constitution and the
laws. But it would recall to millions OF loyal
men the true leadership of 1861, and the
lofty devotion to duty which inspired the
first Republican President.

THE PHILHARMONIC REHEARSAL,

The public rehearsal for tue fourth concert Of tia
New-York Philharmonic Society, which took place
Yesterday afternoon at the Academy of Music
brought out the largest audience Of the season
There was not an empty seat to be scent tue
proscenum boxes were densely crowded and the
steps leading down to the orchestra chairs were
filled with ladies who could find no other pacea
The concert itself was prominently interesting
both because Of the magnitude and importance Of
the pieces which composed the proaramme-BacRs
" Elm feste Burg" cantata and Beethoven's Ninth
Symphony--and the excellence OF their rendering,
aud by reason of the interest which was attached to
the first public appearance of Mr. Thomass new
New-York chorus. which, in conjunction with the
chorus of the Brooklyn Philharmonic Society,
was heard In both works. The performance was
admirable in every respect. The orchestra was in
splendid condition, aud played with unwonted brill
fancy, while the new chorus did capitallv, singing
the difficult and involved choruses with the utmost
precision, frmness and spirit. To-nights concert
will be in every way a memorable one in the history
OF the noble old society," for it marks the extension
of its efforts into new and wider field OF usefulness
i'm which If NAV reasonably be expected that the
most important and valuable results Will 30
