Every good citizen should be an offensive
partisan, bee ,use of the fact that the very
extreme meaning Of the term only that the
person to whom it is applied is deeply inter-
ested in the political principles which he has
adopted, and ready at any time to do what
he can to advance among the voters that
which he deems to be right. Every republi-
can who is in Office under this democratic sd-
ministration ought to be removed, unless spe-
cial experience and peculiar talent should
happen to render his services exceedingly de-
sirable; and in that case it is right to keep
him in Office. But the. ordinary republicans
ought all to 90, whether they are offensive
psrtisans or not. Indeed, Of the two kinds
the offensive and the inoffenslve, the latter
are the more Objectionable; and, besides, it Is
not right to put q peculiar stigma upon any
man who is honest and does his work reason
ably well. Turn them out because they are
republicans, but not because they are earnest
