The Alexandria San says that 1t Is useless
for the Republicans to say that the Demo
Gratis are unnecessarily alarmed about the
Force bill-that there is no danger Of the
passage of such measure, &c. 1t is still
a living issue, notwithstanding its defeat in
the 5lst Congress, and has been made so by
the Republican party. 1t passed RePuo-
lican House and would have passed the
Senate also but for the patriotism OF a few
Republican Senators. It was supported by
the President, who advocated its principles
in one of his messages, and had new life in
fused into it by the Minneapolis Convention
which re-committed the party to Its pas
sage. Nor have the evils that would ensue
from its passage been magnifed in the least.
A kind-hearted old lady is said to have re-
marked that "eyen the devil may not be as
black as he is painted" hut no such chart
table defense can be made Of the Force bill.
Ii is aimed at the rights and liberties OF
the people, aud the more it is studied the
more apparent is the necessity for It's COM
plete and irretrieyable defeat A vote for
the Democratic ticket is vote against the
Force bill.
