THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 1871.
FALL of leaden is not, with the. lle
publioaM, ruin of party. Like the
great army of the Potomao, which
never failed, though its leaders often
blundered, bo the Republican party will
go on, conquering and to conquer, leav
ing many who once were leaders in the
tear. New Hampshire come so near
pon the beels of the foolish blunder of
the party managers that the enemy gain
a victory in what was, at most, a mere
skirmish.
We repeated then what was said bo
foro in these oolumns. The selfish, nar
row leaden are not the parly. Ours is
pre-eminently a party of ideas. The
principles we uphold are eternal. Men
will blunder, fail and fall back, but the
course of the great party of progress is
onward and onward, and the lesson
from Connecticut teaches preoisely this.
The people come to the rescue just as
they have done, and will do, when dan
ger threatens. The great masses of the
voters in this party, think to a purpose,
and act intelligently. This is the
secret of its success. It will not follow
blindly and ruinously the lead of any
man who attempts to lead in doubtful
ways. Lot not the Demooracy hope too
ardently. The more our leaders blun
der, the less the danger to us; for the
rank and file will take the matter in
hand and promote to leadership better
men. Thus, tho victory in Connecti
cut, where the Republicans carried the
State by large gainB is explained. Will
tho Democrats make a note of it?
