THE DAUA EVENING TKJ.K(;Kjrl? PHILADELPHIA, FHMAY, OCTOHKK 4, 1807.
rnrlUnlira In Polities.
Jfirom the JV. Y. Nation.
Tbe few remarks we made two weuks ago
touching the danger of infusing too much Of a
Fnritan npirit into legislation have elicited
from Dr. Cotton Smith, in a lato sermon on
municipal government, some expressions of
' dissent which although the report we have
Been la probably neither full nor accurate
Deem to ua to call for a more explicit state
ment of what we moan when we object to
attempts to make men moral by law. We are
quite as ready as anybody can be to acknow
ledge the indirect effect that legislation in sup
port of good morals may exercise, even in cases
in which it may seem to trespass on personal
freedom, in strengthening and purifying the
conscience of the community. We do not
deny, for instance, that the Puritan legislation
of colonial New Kuglaud, hard, cold, steru,
destructive as it was of taste and sentiment,
and hostile as it was in many respects to indi
vidual freedom, nevertheless strengthened the
moral fibre of the community as nothing else
would have done. But there are, we thin!:,
Teasons for believing that Puritanical legisla
tion, always of doubtful expediency, is every
day becoming, owing to the changes in modern
society, more and more dangerous.
In the first place, the l(iismT-f 'aire doctrine,
which was in such favor thirty years ago, has
gradually fallen out of favor. In fact, we sen
in nearly every civilized country a sort of
reaction against it. The only thing iu which
the doetrine of non-interference makes pro
gress is with regard to trade. In almost every
other direction, aa the Duke of Argyll has
pointed out in his excellent little work on the
'Reign of Law," the tendency is to extend the
limits of the province of government, to make
it regulate and direct or assist or restrain peo
ple; and the tendency is contemporaneous
with a great change in the composition of the
governing body. Power is nearly everywhere
passing into the hands of the many, and is
generally exercised in intention, at least
for the benefit of the many; it consequently
acts with a force which in the bauds of tha
few it never had. More than this, the new
poBsessers of power, the classes who are risiug
into importance, are intensely eager for social
improvements, but have little or no train
ing in or knowledge of the science of govern
ment, and are impatient of opposition, and
ready to sacrifice individuals to what seems to
te the general welfare.
When one see3 the sort of code which the
trades-unionists enforce, and the sort of labor
. legislation which the working classes ask for
here, and remember what a tremendous poli
tical force the working classes are everywhere
becoming, one feels that it is high time to
consider whither we are driving and what
amount of space there would be left for the
' play of that greatest and most fruitful of all
the sources of civilzation, the free individual
taste and will, if society should be organized
en a cut-and-dry theory, sketched out by any
Bet of ideologues or moralists who happen to
get the majority on their. side.
No careful reader of history can fail to see
that all social and religious systems have
helped civilization, in the highest sense of the
term, just in proportion to the amount of free
dom they allowed to the individual man. Sys
tems in which the individual will and taste
were pruned and trimmed, and made to grow
in the direction prescribed by the possessors of
power, have never been successful. They
have flourished for a ittle while, and seemed
to promise great things, but they have not
permanently helped ihe race. Men have
always written better, thought better, painted
letter, and timl5"i better in countries where the
government did very little, than where it did
very much, and, in fact, the testimony of expe
rience cn this point is so strong, and is so for
tified by our observation and knowledge of
human nature, thnt we may feel satisfied that
Ood intended the work of progress to be ac
complished rather by individual minds work
ing freely and separately than masses of minds
working under a uniform rule imposed by
"authority." Progress, of course, includes
moral as well as mechanical and intel
lectual growth. We believe that men's
morals also improve more rapidly under
the action of general influences than under
the action of special regulations. The religion
which done most for humanity is the first and
only one which addressed itself to individual
reason, and it has accomplished most in those
countries in which it has relied most on per
suasion and least on coercion. Contrast the
religious condition of Spain and Italy aud
France with that of Prussia and Holland or
England or America and by religious condi
tion we do not mean so much outward atten
tion to religious ordinances as susceptibility to
religious influences and interest in religious
questions and perception of the connection
between religion and life. State churches and
legal intolerance are simply attempts on the
part of the holders af power (whether one or
many) to improve the character of the mino
rity by force to make it behave in the man
ner which they think must conduce to moral
growth. Religious intolerance is dying out,
not simply from the spread of the conviction
that it is wrong, but from practical experience
cf its uselessness. The world sees either that
men cannot be dragooned into uniformity, or
that, if they are dragooned into it, it does not
improve them.
But the conviction that men cannot be dra
gooned into morality, that to make men more
moral you must not legislate, but teah, is not
yet by any means general. There is a strong
tendency amongst those who are most shocked
by the imperfections of our social condition
and are, therefore, most eager for its improve
ment to get out of patience with Uoi's pro
cesses, to feel that they are too slow; that ini
quity ought not to last so long in the world
when we have such well-digested criminal
codes, such magnificent penitentiaries, aud
such well-organized and well-disciplined
police. What is tbe use, they ask us, of the
power of legislation if we have still to endure
the presence in our streets of drunkards and
fornicators and Sabbath-breakers 1 Ood
surely cannot have intended, when we have it
in our power to put vice out of sight undor
lock and key, that we should bear with its
flaunting presenile iu our thoroughfares.
We are not among the number of those who
pretend to be able to fix the exact limits of
the province of government. We do not be
lieve it is possible to draw the line exactly
between what it ought to do ami what it can
not do; but we are firmly convinced that, Ood
intended the extirpation of what maybe called
the eelf-regarding vioes, the vices which, while
debasing the individual character, only give
scandaV to others, to be accomplished by
voluntary effort and general influences, aud
not by lav. Of course the shutting up of
public houses on certain days, in great cities,
is a police regulation which can be justified ou
balf-a dozen grounds besides a regard tor
morality; tat when you forbid any man to
Bell or any other man to buy liquor ou any
Uav what you really undertake to do is to
force people by law to Bet a good example.
WiDe-driiiking ia not in itself immoral. It
i.iaHnnabla became it often loada to
it to IX'LoniM wine-drinkers themlvs
It mav be. therefore, that it is tbe duty, as
social beings, even of tLoBe wbo are themselves
secure against the commission 01 exce,
to give it up altogether. Hut this is a moral
dut v. for the rerfonnance of which men are
nf , oiiTital,ln tn God unci not to society. Society
cannot, withont openinu up an immense field
for the most odiouB ami mischievous tyranny,
take legal precautions against my refraining
from acts in tbemnflvm harmless, simply be
cause tlmre is a posilpility that tlie influence
of my example on otl.e.-s whom 1 do not know
and have never (-em may be injurious. The
real reahon why tbrr is this strong tendency
towards moral legisl;.:in seems to us, we con
fess, to be the gin-.t ease with which it
f-nabies social reiomwrs to perforin what
tiy fet-1 to be tb-.v duty towards their
fellow-nien. TLeie an few persons of intelli
gence pnd education who are not troubled
every day they rise by the feeling that they
do too little lor ti e promotion of human hap
piness and virtue, th.v. In the great war against
vice and misery, on which the elevation of the
species depends, their arms are seldom or
never raised to strike. Kven th most be
sotted votary of fashion feels now and then
little twinges of remorse when he sees how
much drunkenness and poverty and ignorance
and vice there is about him, aud thinks how
little he does to lessen it. Of course, the more
highly cultivated a person's moral nature, the
neuter will these pangs be. The Republican
party, like every other party the great aim of
which is the embodiment of a great moral idea
in the national polity, contains great nnmlwrs
of people to whom the evils of society are a con
stant source of self-reproach, and who feel that
they cannot -.cait for wl.at is called "progress"
to remove t'::-m, that something must be done
at once. Mow, the simplest thing to do is to
get an act passed forbidding this and lhat, and
send the policemen to execute it. A more
convenient mode of making society what it
(light to be can hardl y be imagined. The re
tonner in this way s'uys at home or attends to
his business, anl does 'is share in the work
by drawing his check when the tax-gatherer
comes round.
We make bold to say, however, that this is
not the way in which Jod intended the work
to be done, and that it is not the best way
either for the enemies of vice or for its victims.
Of nothing are we more firmly persuaded than
that those vices which do not involve direct
injury to person or proper or public decency,
such as can be proved in a court of justice, are
to be put down by the voluntary efforts of
those who hate thein working through pure
living, pure literature, pure teachinc. through
the constant practice of humanity, through
care in me education. 01 children the
abundant supply for the poor aud
weak ef retining airi civilizing influences.
we ieiiev that those . rich men
who have invested their money in the lodeine-
house for working-women which was opened
the other day in New York, have done more
lor tiie suppression ol vice in this citv than
the most stringent and effectively executed act
they could get passed r.gainst houses of pros
titution: and the Christian philanthropists
who will provide the married poor with decent
abodes will strike a heavier blow acrainst
Irunkenness than all t!;e liquor laws in exist
ence. It J3 throuch atijncies of this sort that
the race has been raised from barbarism into
civilization, and it is through these that it
must te raised trom material civilization into
light. The mills of Uod grind slowly, no
doubt, but they grind better, we may rely
upon it, than any of the patent machines
which are prepared by btate Legislatures.

Soldiers and Patriots! Citizens nature born and
naturalized in THIS CRISIS be true to yourselves,
be true to the BBAVE HEROES whose bones lie
mingled with the soil of tbe Boutli, from the Rio
Grande to the Susquehanna. Ue trne to your glorious
leadois, to jour country our priceless heritage, be
queathed by Revolutionary sires defended tnrouKh
lour years of terrible civil war. This glorious birth
right, "The Government ot the people, by the people,
and for the people," which the great and good Abra
ham Lincoln sublimely said "should not perisn from
the earth," is IMPERILLED! The usurpations of that
l.'OLl), BAD MAN, ANDREW JOHNSON,
Must be arrested. His iniquitous schemes must be
crushed; they are the more dangerous because but
half revetled, and for the reason that there are credu
lous men In our midst, (wbo cuu only bo aroused,
when too late, by signal overt acts of crime) men
who, though personally pure, able and intluenlial, are
activcamong his apologists and supporters. Citizens,
he not deluded by this. lie vigilant! TRUST NO
MAN, however emiueut, however pure, however
able, with power or office who approves ol the acts of
Andrew Johnson.
VOTE FOR NO MAN
For any oilice who approved or extenuated the per
ulcious doctrines taught by the Buchanans, the
Blacks, the Reeds, the Woodwards, the Clymers, the
Seymours, the Woods, the Vallandighains, and other
faithless men of tbe North, to wit:
That the secessslon ot a State la a constitutional
right: that Federal resistance to rebellion was an
outrage; lhat the war for the Union was a failure;
that Government notes were not legal tenders. VOTE
FOR NO MAN who gave bis support or his sympa
thy to these MONSTROUS HERESIES, the prolific
cause of all our woes. The Republican party, formed
of the best men of all parties: the party which
saved tbe life ot the nation; the parly proven to be
true to
LIBERTY AND UNION I
Proven to be trne to the CONSTITUTION; the party
devoted to all the RIGHTS OF LABOR and all the
RIGHTS OF MAN, ask yon to forbear trom casting
a single vote for any man, for any olllce whatever,
who is not the outspoken and determined opponent
of the
GUILTY PRESIDENT.
This great party warns you, citizens, that any such
vote is aid and comfort to that wily enemy of
VNION and PEACE. Tbe Republican party pre
sents to you Its selected candidates, aud asks your
sufl'raKCS lor each and all ot them. Defeat at the
polls In our city or our State ou Tuesday uex t would
he latal to the peace of the country.
IN THIS CRISIS I
Citizens, our duty Is plain. It Is to stand by our party,
by our Congress, by our Generals, by our leaders, aud
by eur caudldates. If we would have a restored
Union, continuous peace, concord, and prosperity
throughout the entire land If we would secure the
paymeutof the national debt, principal aud Interest
and thereby maintain American honor Inviolate it
we would save our country from the horrors of civil
war, anarchy, and possibly trom despotism Itself, we
must art In concert, aud defeat at the polls every
candidate for olllce who may, In the remotest degree,
act or sympathize with Andrew Johnson and his
allies, Lemember, that all history shows that the
days nnt succeeding civil wars have been the day
ot greatest danger to the victors.
CRAFT AND TREACHERY
