should be in the hands OF intelligent men,
and 1t Is 10 :his end that recent constitu-
ional changes have been made. and elll,-
cational restrictions imposed, and thus in
| various ways we are undergoing the pro-
cess of new emancipation.
Already the benefits are manifest In the
! impetus that has been given to the cause
Of education. AnG unless OUR wisest men

ideas The youngest Of us remembers
when the prejudice against Northern men
was very bitter and when the name of the

Away with scctioralsm forever. Let our
topic hc no moro of the North or the
South but forevermore the Union we are
! brethren. let lis live as such. And hence
forth. in the land Of the free, let men
be. recognized for 1ltress only, ana not
