There Is little positive opposition in

Is some apprehension that il will prove

turbulence and make this restored
Union union both of hearts and o.
hands than all the bayonet legislation
and all the bitter speeches.
This is no time to stir up hate and re-
vengeful passion between different
races, classes or sections of our people.
No deserving interest has need of such
passions. The country has no need of
them. They are the DEVILS own. They
are the enemies, not friends, of our ma
tional prosperity. The very fact that
any interest appeals to such passions
condemns it as unworthy. They are fit
eXpedients of monopoly and oppression.
They are the fit instruments of the soul
less and bandit leagues which scramble
for opportunities to enrich themselves
by taxation of the people.
Instead of cultivating such passions
ample, the great-hearted Lincoln
malice toward none, with char
ity for ALL" AS the heroic
Grant admonished US, 'let US have
peace" AS greater than Grant has
admonished US, let us "seek, peace
and ensue it." We have far more need
of tranquility and reconciliation of
races and sections than we have of the
ignorant vote of the South, or any other
part of the country. The best of all
means for securing the rights and hap
piness of all, is to cultivate amity and
good will. Persuasion and kindness
will readily win where force will utter
ly fail.
When our illustrious military chief
tain looked out from the summit of Mt.
McGregor into the vast, mysterious
eternity on the brink of which he sat,
voice having failed him he wrote on
tablet these wo@-,s which the muse of
history will record in words of living
light: 81 have witnessed since my sick
ness just what have wished to see ever
since the war-harmony and good feel
ing between the sections"
This harmony and good feeling which
Grant so longed for and the
kindly-souled Lincoln so labor
ed for, this force bill, if it
becomes law, will surely disrupt, and
can not fail to destroy Shall it be de-
stroyed? Shall we encourage or toler-
ate any such enforced and unnecessary
alienation? Shall the country be plunged
into a ferment of contention in order
that monopolistic despotism may profit
by an ignorant vote? Shall we sacrifice
our National peace on the altar of
greed?
To do so is no better than crime. It
is crime. It's an affront to every patri-
OF who has given his effort or shed his
blood to make this Nation one. 1t is a
calamity and a wrong to the black race
no less than to the white.
Let us. then, with all the might that
is in US, protest against it Let the free
men of Ohio rebuke and repel this
monstrous selfshness which grasps after
| ignorance as the basis of its political
power, and would provoke civil war, if
necessary, to establish and perpetuate
its despotic sway.
