AKIN TO INSPIRATION.

Of all the grand utterances of General
Harrison since his nomination by the
Chicago convention nothing he has SAID
equals, in its catholicity of spirit and in
tensity of patriotic emotion, that couched
in his brief address to the delegation
from Tippecanoe county, Indiana, on
Tuesday. Such thoughts and senti-
ments are worthy to be committed to
memory and cherished in the recollec-
ton of every patriotic, liberty-loving
citizen, without regard to partisan bias,
because they are the very essence, the
germ, the foundation upon which rests
and must ever rest our form Of govern
ment so long as its form and functions
are maintained. AS if moved by Divine
inspiration, General Harrison said to his
hearers: "You have not forgotten our
early battle cry, Free speech, a free
press, free schools and free territories
We have widened the last words-it is
now a free nation. The appeals which
we have made and shall yet make are
addressed to the heart, the conscience
and the mind Of our people. These are,
we believe. in schools and colleges and
seminaries of learning. Education is
the great conservative and assimilating
force. A doubter is not necessarily an
evil person. The capacity to doubt i'm
plies reason, the power of solving doubts;
and if the doubt is accompanied with
purpose to find the truth and a supreme
affection for the truth when it is found,
he will not go widely astray. Therefore,
in our political campaigns let men think
for themselves and the truth will assert
itself over the minds of our people.
Then everything that affects the record
and character of the candidates and the
principles of the parties will be brought
to a safe tribunal, whose judgment will
be right
