CAn Editorial in The Farmer of 1815). :.
 We gladly turn our eyes from scenes of confusion and misery in Europe, to our own, peaceful and happy land. the abode of rational hb- erty, and the last asylum of oppress- ed humanity The people of the United States are now in the full en- joynent of every national blessing. These blessings are the fruits of re- publican policy, and they will secure the ascendency of republican princi- pies, as Americans know how to value the privilege they possess.
 It is one of the most pleasing fea- turs in the fair prospects of our country, that party spirit has lost much of that viru1ence and acrimony which poisoned the source of private as we'll as public felicity and enbit- tered all the streams of social enjoy ment. This evil genius is now ban ished from many a private circle, and no longer suffered to disturb the har- rnony5 of domestic life or sever the natural ties of kindred and enighbor- hood.
 Men of good sense and good hearts are conscious of the folly and wick edness of nourishing malignant pas sions against a fellow citizen, and ex- cluding him from a share in their confidence and sympathy. because

They re- fleet that charity is as necessary in politics as religion, and that, by the exercise of this heavenly virtue, in all the relations of society, they not only promote the peace and prosperity of the whole community, and cement the national compact, but advance their individual happiness, in converting their enemies to their friends and c111tiyating benevoIenceEand good will instead of hatred and revenge
 We rejoice to see these symptoms of reformation in public feeling, and trust, that while the various parties are at liberty to entertain their hon. est differences of opinion, and con tinue to discuss political questions with all the zeal and animation their demands. they will not forget that candor and 1iberality will be much more apt to convince and convert than intenperate denuncia- ton and indecent inveetive.
