Every man has faults, his fail
ings, and his peculiarities. Every
one of us finds himself crossed by
such failings from others from
hour to hour and if we we're to
resent them all, life would be in
tolerable. If for every outburst
of the hasty temper, and for every
rudeness that wounds lis in our
daily path, were we to demand
an apology, require an explana-
ton, or resent it by retaliation,
daily intercourse would be impos-
sible. The very science Of social
life consists in that gliding tact
which avoids contact with the
sharp angularities of character
which does not seek. to adjust or
cure them all. So a christian spir-
it throws a cloak over these
things. 1t knows when it is wise
not to see them. That micro

faults appear to captious men,

Even in the busiest town and amid

these are not the secrets of the power
which goes from her, through which
she creates around her an atmosphere

fills each day the perhaps unacknowl-
edged and unrecognized Offices of kind
ness that make her home a centre of
Christian charities and graces. Her life

One ingredient of true religion is pi-

it is certainly right that we should be

frequently commanded to "consider
the wondrous works of the Lord" and
to talk of all his wondrous works. -

Many COW is spoiled by lack of pa

the annexation Of Mexico, in view Of an early
redemption Of the national debt in coin; and
this new party may, erhaps, in its first cam
paign, seize the reins of the government.


In this platform we regard the annexation
of Mexico as the main thing. II was the pop
ular hurrah for the the annexation of Texas
that enabled the obscure Polk to beat the
ilnstrious Henry Clay in the Presidential cleo
ton Of lS4t, and from the grand results that
have followed the annexation Of Texas
We are satisfied that the campaign cry
OF the annexation of Mexico will be
as popular in 1872. General Grant may feel
30 discouraged ny the failure of his st. Do
mingo experiment as to give the cold shoulder
to this idea of manifest destiny" in regard to
Mexico. We are afraid that he and his party
will give 1t the go-by. Here, then, will
be the opportunity for the democracy and the
disaffected republicans, fused together in q
new party, for splendid fight on the Mexican
annexation question. Look at those silver
mines and tropical plantations Of Mexico. In
the hands Of our government and people they
could be made to pay off our national debt in
q single generation, with a reduction of our
present national taxes 10 the extent Of hum
dred millions.


At any rate, looking to the reorganization of
the democracy and the loose materials Of the
country as new party, we are confident that
this party could not start into business upon
better basis Of capital than the popular cam
paign cry Of "Our manifest destiny-the an
nexation Of Mexico" A new party must have
some new idea, and this is the new idea for
the democracy as a new party. 1t would run
like fire in the prairies, sweeping every
