Our esteemed contemporary, "Tae

week, gives utterance TO some virtuous
sentiments which we cordially endorse.
'The Pilot" is nothing if not vir-
tuous-so is "The Union Republican.
In deed it is well-known that our con.
temporary entered the field of journal
ism for the express and avowed pur-
pose of promoting virtue in politics.
We admire "The Union Republican,
for many things. but for nothing 50
much as its ch smpionship of political

allude are thus beautifully expressed
by our contemporary: "As it Is with
political party-want OF principal

ed that our contemporary spells the
word, "principsP'-pal; and those dis
posed to be hypercriticaI might suggest
that that is equivalent to saying that
want of capital will lead to defeat. !"

gestion. We will lay it on the COM
position IL you please and insist that

Union Republican goes on to say,
"The best lighters are those who
have the inspiration Of faith In their

Dorant, the coward dly, are not enlisted
with those who contend for principles

With these lofty and Nirtuous senti-
ments We heartily agree. We also
agree that an article OF faith which Is
