IT makes us tired to hear news

IT makes us tired to hear news
papers and politicians continually
ranting about patriotism" and
claiming that some particular party
is the only political party whose
principles eminate from patriotism
and love of country. 1t is just as
reasonable to say that young man
is not patriotic because he did not
languish in Andersonville, as it is
to insinuate that young political
party is not patriotic because it did
not s1put down the Rebellion"
We, are charitable enough to
believe that the rank and file of all
ofthe great political parties of this
country are animated by patriotism,
and that their intentions are honest.
But it is impossible for all to be
right, therefore it is evident that
a large number are misguided. But
in our endeavor to find and point
ont the true from the false let us
state nothing but cold facts in the
matter. The American people are
patriotic enough, but the question
before them today is one of bread
and butter rather than of "who
fired the first gun at Sumpter."
