Necessity of Opposition.

Political parties are the result
Of human weakness. The world
was yet young when men dlscov-
cred the necessity of opposition to
the man or set of men, or admin.
istIation, as we call it now, who
ruled their lives and property.
The instinct of self defence was
largely the motive power that i'm
PEELED the formation of political
parties, at different stages of
the worlds history and known by
different names. There has never
been u ruler without a censor,savc
at the cost of all liberty. The best
governed countries of the earth
are those where the political par
ties are the most evenly divided,
and hence where changes OF adj
administration and responsibility
are most frequent. There is no
party so pure that-an unquestion.
ed and obstinate lease of power is
not likely to- corrupt, and the Re
publican party of the United States
is no exception To the rule. All
parties need watching, and hence
they need the Argus eye of a hostile
organization levclcd in their
direction. To be kept in the path
of rcctitudc they must have some
one near to point out their mis-
takes. We submit these obscrva.
tons for the benefit of our Repub.
lean contemporary, who thinks
there should be none but Republi
cans elected to office.
