False and True Policy.


The Washington correspondents of the
metropolitan dailies, who several days
ago announced that President Hayes
would give the cold shoulder to Packard
of Louisiana and Chamberlain of South
Carolina, have worked themselves into a
fever OF excitement over the action of Sen
ator Blaine in demanding the admission
of Kellogg to seat in the senate,
and made haste TO announce that Mr..
Baine's speech means war upon Presi-
dent Hayes. These correspondents mis-
represent the state of affairs. They "fxed
up" policy for President Hayes in re-
lation to the South, which he had no hand
in making and never endorsed. and hav-
ing foisted this spurious policy upon the
public as the genuine policy of the Prcs-
ident, they now insist because Mr.. Blaine
has pricked their bubble with his sharp
lance that he has placed himself in oppo-
sition to the President.


Between the actual fact, and what these
correspondents who catch at every rumor
assert is the fact, there is a wide differ
ence. The President has nowhere or in
any way 80 much as intimated that he is
opposed to the admission of Kellogg to
the senate or to the recognition OF the
Packard government in Louisiana. There
is nothing in his inaugural address to
warrant such a conclusion. Ga the con-
trary the language and spirit of that ad-
dress point the other way. And as Mr..
Blaine made plainly manifest in his re-
marks, it is illogical and absurd TO claim
the electoral vote of Louisiana for Hayes
and Wheeler to be the legal vote of the
State. and at the same time thrust out
Packard and Kellogg whose claims are
founded on the same legal basis as the
claim Of the President to his office.


Mr.. Blaine is therefore in accord with the
President, but in opposition 10 the busy
bodies who have had the audacity to un-
dertake to pass off counterfeit policy as
the genuine article. Their position under
the sharp exposure to which they have
been subjected is humiliating to them.
They are the enemies OF the President.
They have sought TO force him into false
position. Mr.. Blaine has upset their
nicely arranged plans. and he deserves
well from the President and the public for
tha viOorous hold and ahle manner in
which the task was done. He has shown
the path which leads in the way OF the
principles of the republican party; in it
the party will 60 forward with unfinch-
ing determination and unfailing success.
Little do the dough-laced republicans who
ivise surrender to the assassins of liber-
ty and justice in the South know of the
deep and strong feeling which pervades
the republican masses upon this subject.
There will be no surrender. Conciia-
tion will be tried to the utmost, but there
must be no dishonor to the republican
flag, no yielding Of the essential constitu-
tional rights of black or white before the
threats Of the murderous kuklux or argu-
ments which appeal TO the pocket alone.

"We trust tba. the appeal will not be

kept up for the purpose Of keeping the
people in awe. Hitherto no statesman has
ever limited at such reason for standing

the late great rebellion, and the necessity
for retsining q small extra number of
troops until the reconstruction could be
completed. Happily there is no necessity
for troops to keep down the spirit of rebel.
lion of the South. The President and
Congress are agreed On this point, and
now, shall it be said that standing army
is necessary to keep the Northern people
to their allegiance2 II.


II vas q fundamental maxim Of our
Revolutionary ancestors, borrowed from
our remotsr ancestors, the Wings Of Eng
land, of two and quarter centuries ago,
that 'Standing Armies in time Of peace
are dangerous to Liberty" Whenever
the American people forsake that cardinal
principle, they viii show that the spirit
Of liberty is departing from them. The
mere nuelens Of an army which the coun-
try he's always kept up for the defense II
the frontier against the Indians, and as $
school in which officers and soldiers may
be trained, as necessary preparation fer
possible war, is not obnoxious 10 the na1-
i'm in question, as it is too small to menace
the liberties Of the people.


Besides the danger to liberty from q
large standing army, the expense must
eyer be kept in mind.


A "well regulated militia is what the
country needs and if every State had its
citizens Of proper age organized into COM
panies and regiments, as volunteers, it
could rarely happen that there would be
necessity for calling on the President for
aid"


A strong, stern rebuke must be given to
these disguised imperialists who know, Or
ought TO know, that numerous army, is
unrepub,iean, and standing menace to
liberty. IL New York with its enormoun
population. the police. and militia keep
perfect order. The effectiveness Of the
New York National Guard was tested in
the Astor Place riots quarter O.
a century ago, and in the famous
draft riots during the war. When
the Stat-s are no longer able to protect
the lives and property Of their citizens
will be tine enough to ask link TO be
forged In the manacle- to bind our chill
dren.


True atatesmanship would accept the
present, as the fitting time to still further
reduce the army TO say 5000 men, a. the
States are now alive to the importance Of a
we'll ordered National guard, who would
be at once magistrates Of public order, and
soldiers of liberty.
