receive killing attentions. Hurt or harm
to the country or general prosperity re-
ceiVes no consideration, the opposition
must be kllled-thus satin, through their
chosen political leaders, the people.
There is no culture IN politics, but there
is a point beyond which brutality is IN
necessary. The people viii ever applaud
a contest between equals, Tor they
can see that IN such a contest lies their
hope OF good government. Why should
the people stand idle and quiet when one
man or party, having the other down,
nses every foul means to keep MIN under
foot and thus teach him the doctrine Of
political hereafter by mauling him and
dragging his political carcass until 1t IS
worn to shreds? 1t Is neither sdl1yIng
nor profitable. Still more disgusting and
dangerous is the spectacle, so frequently
presented, of some leader visiting upon
an inferior who has incurred his dis
pleasure, or who has refused to aCknOwI-
edge his dictatorship, the brutality OF
slaVe-drlVer. The contumely of an in
feriOr in position is the impertinence OF
a child. 10 visit upon him the full
force and power of temporary, and, per-
haps, accidental superiority, IS to dis
play nothing more than the strength
of the brute who DelabOrs with
hand and foot the unfortunate Weaklipg
who has offended him. 1t is superduous
to term this cOWardice; 1t Is, IN politics,
better to regard such conduct as a con-
fession of an inability to contend upon
equal terms. And yet it would not be
difficult to enumerate instances, within
the knowledge of every reader, in which
the inferior has been followed In his
business and social relations with an
undying and an unmitigated persecu
ton, as cruel as any of the political or
religious horrors of the middle ages

of the victims of the Inquisition all the

to breathe the air which his VillainIss
had poisoned, intelligent men denounced
him as a ut instrument Of the Prince
of Darkness; and yet the tactics
of Philip, unmodited in the slightest de-
gree, are perpetuated to-day by men who
only lack the opportunity to equal him in
Villainv And this IS Free America,
with the voters, the people, looking on
and applaUding. How long can Liberty
live under such rule as this?
The corrupt use Of money for the pur-
pose Of controlling elections has grown
to such huge proportions, and has become
so open and fragrant, that the most care
less citizen must acknowledge it, and the
fact must or should alarm every man who
prizes the safety Of our cOuntry's institu-
tions above the success of any one indi-
vidUal OF party. Success is purchased
with q prolific expenditure of money,
which could be secured in no other way,
and IN direct opposition TO public Opin-
ion, and a ainst the desires and wishes
of a large majority of the va. ers. Yet the
defeated tamelY submit, year after year.
Men elected to responsible positions by
a cOntiding or leadeF-driven people barter
away their honor and manhood for a
paltry sum Of money, and vote for men
and measures IN open violation OF their
sense of duty, and against both their
conscience and Judgment and sell them
/ selves, body and soul, TO a wealthy aspi-
+ rant for exalted hOnOrs, or sOUlIeSs cor
porations bent upon public plumber.
This is no fancy pict ire drawn from the
realms of Imagination, but "a stern, IN
