The Louisville Courier-Journal can
not forgive tho Republican party for
ever being born. Ii gives that party
this delicate send of: "Ths Republi-
can party was conceived in the idea of
the higher law aud it was horn of the
denunciaiion that the constitution of
the United States is . covenant with
hell and league with the devil. II
drew its sustenance from revolutionary
organizations and its cradle WAS rocked
by hands that would have destroyed the
Union if they could" But the student
of political history will stop to per-
tinently inquire what that gang was up
to that fred on Sumpter. Was it Re-
publican hands that aimed those guns
TO shatter the bonds of the Union? Or
Was 1t not rather Republican hands
principally that aimed the shots that
knocked out the unholy scheme?
There are two sides to the story and We
prefer the Republican side.
