EDWIN M. STANTON.
Recollection* ol «li** Ureal
Wilt fit I>»K «»l I lie War
Office.
The Cabinet in which Mr. Stanton
found himself after Senator Cameron's
i retirement was a conglomeration of
1 able men, several of whom had been
j themselves candidates for the tPresi
dency, notably Chase, Seward and
I Bates. And when Mr. Lincoln was
indulging what be called the "drifting
policy,'" he would not, for months at a
timc'call auy meeting of hie Cabinet.
And yet Lincoln is the man of whom
Charles Francis Adams wrote that
Mr. Lincoln got the credit for all the
statesmanship furnished by William ]
Henry Seward ! Mr. Seward in one
of his pilgrimages to Auburn, where:
he was wont to retire semi-occasionally i
as Conkling goes to Utica when he i
has any special utterances, intended (
for the public ear ; on one of these 1
historical occasions, after speaking in
bis "media*val way" of what a "sin
gularly pore young man'' Gideon
Wells must be ; the optimistic Secre
tary of State delivered himself of a
brilliant eulogy on Edwin M. Stanton,
in which he spoke of him as the "Di
vine Stanton." The great war min- I
ister deserved all the encomiums
lavished on him then and at a later
period during the war by the gifted
son of New York. To my mind the
pie-eminently strong men of that
poried were Lincoln, Stanton and
Thad Stevens. Stanton came into
office under an extraordinary condition
of National politics. The old public
functionary, J. Buchanan, who sat at
Washington "like an old bread-and
milk poultice and drew the rebellion
to a head," had reluctantly consented
to redeem the latest hours of his Ad
ministration by taking into his coun
sels Dix and Stanton. At this the
North breathed more freely, for it was
a guarantee that there wonld be no
open or actual surrender of the
Government itself to the Pavises, the
Toombes, the Jake Tomsons, and the
fire-eating crew generallyaud particu
lar! v.
Mr Stanton had resu/ned the prac
tice of the law after Mr. Lincoln's
inauguration, in the city of Washing
ton, and (bad little expectation of be
ing called into a Republican Cabinet.
He felt stung at the audacity and the
celerity with which the Democracy had
turned a sharp co»ner, and at once
become the apologists, advocates and
servants of an aristocracy built upon
the back of the African slave.
CALLED TO TIIE C/BINET.
His words were few in accepting
tbe trust offered him by Mr. Lincoln,
but fhey were to the purpose, and
from that hour these two wonderful
men, Lincoln and Stanton, were as
close together as if they had been
"Siamese twins." Lincoln's great
ness very readily detected the virtues
—the solid gold—in what he called
"affirmative men." J-J-
Secretary Stanton was Mho earliest
at his desk in the morning and the
latest to leave it. Many a night Mr.
Lincoln would slip out of the front
door of the White House and go alone
over to the War Office, and these two,
absorbed in the conduct of the war,
would listen to the click of the tele
graph and read despatches till day
break. They were completely en
rapport, as the following incident will
clearly demonstrate : Rev. Mr. X
had a soft billet as chaplain in one of
the Philadelphia hospitals. He had a
sick wife. Stanton had ordered the
Rev. Mr. X— ■ -to be sent to the Dry
Tortugas, or some equally disagreea
ble place, in Florida in the month of
June. He came to me in great dis
tress—the preacher. He said : "You
must go with me to Mr. Lincoln. He
is a kind-hearted man He surely will
not send me away under the circum
stances with my wife unable to make a
southern journey in summer." I went.
The Bev. Mr. X went too. The
White Honse was not difficult of ac
cess, aud I laid the matter before the
good old man with as much aplomb as
possible. Mr. Lincoln paused a mo
ment, aud said : "Rev. Mr. X
this seems like a hard case. I will see
what 1 can do." He then wrote in his
plain, homely way on a blank card :
"SEfT-TYABY STANTON : See and hear Mr.
1, in tfie matter of Rev. Mr. X . If the
exiijeucies of the service permit keep Kev. Mr.
X where he is now.
(Signed) A. LLNCOI.IT."
The great War minister had just en
tered his office as we ascended the steps
of the old office in the War Depart
ment—gone now, covered over with
the wing of modern improvement—
armed with the President's note, which
we regarded as a complete extinguisher
or "squelcher" on the irascible Stanton.
Rev. X- expected a storm, nor
was he mistaken. Stanton stood
straight as an arrow, a cross, apparent
ly, between John Knox, Thomas
Carlyle and Martin Luther, lie glared
at Rev. X , who had the reputa
tion of always wanting "soft snaps."
He only mollified bis mariner slightly
toward us; extending his hand, be
curtly said : "Well, what now ?"
1 handed him the card, with Mr.
Lincoln's request in writing. His
eyes flashed lire, aud he dashed out in
his jerky utterances these words:
"I won't do it and you go tell him
so." He tore the card up, aud threw
its fragments into the basket and con
tinued: "Go tell Lincoln I know
what tbe exigencies of the service re
quire, aud Rev. Mr. X shall go
where I ordered him to go."
Rev. X looked stuuned, stupe
fied and distracted. I got him by the
coat sleeve and said: "Come, we will
see about this."
I was hot. Had not the President
of the United States In en treated with
contempt by his own cabinet officer?
Fast as we could get there we hurried
back, breathless to Mr. Lincoln and
said : "Why! Mr. President,Stanton
is a hog. He tort! up your order. Can
you stand this V
"Well," the kindly old patriot re
plied with a twinkle in his eye, "I
reckon 1 can. I never did have much
BUTLER, PA., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER fi. 188*2
influence with this Administration !"
We retired in frooil order, aud II;*v
X resigned his office as chaplain
next dav, and doti'itlets can be found
preaching the ft< s|>el somewhere now
in "the pines of West Jersey." The next
time I yaw Secretary Stanton he called
me to him, and said:
"Young man you may have thought
; me unreasonable in tbat preacher's
; case, but I always liaye a good reason
for my actions."
J STANTON'S PERSONAL APPEARANCE.
Stanton was in temperament what
, the phrenologists call "nervous san
! guine, strongly lympbat ! c. lie was
sliort in st .ture, with the general evi
dence of the English bull dog in his
make-up." But he had a heart in him
as big ag an ox. He would travel a
thousand miles to undo an injury if be
felt sure he had acted unjustly toward
a human being. He knew what war
was, and he never used ottar of roses.
He had no patience with that officer
who would sign a voucher on honor
(as they do in the army), for a dollar
more than he bad honestly expended,
and he was like the wrath of God,
slow but sure, on the trail of that man
caught robbing his Government in the
hour of the country's direst need.
"How i'o you like Senator ," I
asked—naming a rich man with the
Senatorial purple around bis neck,
albeit it had cost him a pile of money
to gel- the "purple."
"Like him," thundered the big watch
dog of the War Office, "Like him ! !
Why, I had two of his pals in the Old
Capital Prison for selling the same
vessel load of oats three times to the
same quarter master, and if Lincoln
had not been so kind-hearted I would
have bad Senator in the old Capi
tal jail, too. But he could be just, even
In his wrath. John P. Hale, the most
humorous and gifted story-teller I ever
knew, took SB,OOO for getting a rebel
out of the Old Capitol Prison. Some
interested parties, possibly hoping to
get the money back, began proceedings,
intending at least to disgrace Hale,
then Senator from New Hampshire.
The whole mat ter was left to Secretary
StantoD. He took a whole day to hear
the evidence, and his decision was
prompt and in these words :
"Senator Hale was offered SB,OOO for
his legal services. He earned it as a
lawyer. That is all there is in this
case."
The Secretaiy was very friendly
with John W. Forney, and held him in
high esteem, for Mr. Forney's early
and constant fidelity to Lincoln's Ad
ministration in his "two papers—both
daily !" Dan Dougherty was also a
great favorite with the War Minister.
If Mr. Lincoln had liyed John W.
Forney would not have abandoned Re
publicanism. The Stanton and
Linco'n for each other was steadfast
and unquestioning. They were but
two minds with but a single thought
—and that was to crush out rebellion.
With Stanton the lightning came first,
the thunder afterward. He did not
hesitate to put detectives in the White
Iloute to watch Andy Johnson, at
which the tailor from Tennessee has
been known to "cuss" a blue streak.
It was at the suggestion of Senator
Sumner aud other Senators, notably
Zach Chandler, that he barricaded the
War Office aud refused entrance to
General Lorenzo Thomas, the ad in
terim appointment of Johnson. It was
General Lorenzo Thom»s who was
told by a citizen of Delaware "that the
eyes of Delaware were on him," and
Lorenzo belittled tbe occasion, great
and historic as it was, by pwearing
that he, General Thomas, and Secre
tary Stanton had taken a drink of
whisky together when "Lorenzo the
Brave" demanded the office. This
"soft impeachment" was never denied
by the Secretary. It was while "hold
ing the fort" iu the War Office that
Charles Suainer sent to Stantou the
well remembered telegram, viz:
Si-. NAT *, CIIAMLKR.
HON. HOW N M.STANTO.;, Secreu. v of War.
!stic-.
(Signed) CHAKI.KS SI MN*:R.
And he stuck. The pressure of
these terrible times told on Stanton's
iron constitution. It would necessarily
tell on anybody not made, in all his
parts, of Bessemer steel. Stanton
thought Grant, at first, sided with
Andy Johnson, and a question of
veracity arose between them. It was
hard for Stanton to forgive and he
never forgave Grant unless it was
when Graut sent him the ermine of the
Supreme Court on his death bed But
Grant was a proud man—so was Stan
ton and their differences could have
been reconciled had either been inclined
to yield. While sitting iu his sanctum
at the War Office, during the eventful
summer of the blockade of the War
Department, I suggested that Repub
lics were ungrateful. He replied, with
sadness, that he never expected to bo
understood while he lived; that the
populace had not changed greatly in
the centuries since it cried "Hosanna"
one day and "crucify Him" the next.
He seemed to feel sure of his place in
history, but ever spoke of tbe politicians
with fiue scorn, lie never seemed to
me the same man after the death of
Lincoln. An administration guided
by the hacd of a great soldier rather
than a great statesman had few charms
for a trained intellect like Stanton's—
the soldier element pressed to the fore
and the civilian's place seemed to be
in the rear. He never murmured, un
less it was when he said: "Great
deeds ure not soon forgotten," but those
who do them may be forgotten auy
hour."
Ills INTEGRITY.
Edwin M Stanton gloried in It is
lack of riches. Milljops had touched
his palms, and massive fortunes ad
hered to the hands of these who sur
rounded him. He once quoted what
seemed to me a sublime saying of
Aristotle, to the effect that only those
"who were riph because they could not
help it need be ashamed of it; but
those who of their own choice had re
mained poor had a right to glory in it!"
These were the lust words I ever
heard the great-hearted Stanton utter.
He was offered a retainer of SIO,OOO
for an argument in one phase of the
celebrated Credit Mobilier case; but he
was either too feeble, physically, to
prepare the case, or ho distrusted the
integrity of the tause be was asked to
argue, and declined the fee. Wnea it
was found that Stanton had left no
fortune save a stainless name to his
children, Senator Chandler, of Miehi
gan, soon repaired the broken fortunes
lof the great War Minister by making
his family independent. It was only
! three days before be died General
Grant, I'resident of the United States,
I placed upon the broad shoulders of Kd
; win M. Stanton the ermiue of the Su
! preme Court. But even this tardy
justice came too late but it may have
softened the pangs of that great heart.
With iu forty-eight hours the soul of
Justice Stanton had gone beyond the
stars to the land where it was ever
morning. It took America 280 years
to build a memorial window to Sir
Walter Raleigh, but not so long as 280
years will it take a grateful Republic,
when she erects her Walhalla of her
noble dead, to build a temple to com
memorate Edwin M. Stanton's sublime
devotion to duty. When future gen
erations rise up to bless the great deeds
of our heroes, and to keep green the
memories of our b-avest and best who
fought for the liberation of humanity,
there will be no name more reverently
or teaderlv cherished than the name of
Edwin \1 Stanton, the Christian, the
hero, and the statesman, unless it be
the name of the beat of men, slain by
Booth's bullet, with the prayer upon
his lips "ihat all men everywhere
might be free."
An iritth Episode.
No matter what the Government
tries to do in Ireland, the way is hedg
ed about with difficulties and perplexi
ties. The case is one where it is im
possible to please and not easy to pun
ish Conciliation is taken as a sign of
weakness and an opportunity for
license; repression is resisted as op
pression. The case of Mr. E. Dwyer
Gray, editor of the Freeman'« Journal,
the chief organ of the Land League, is
in poiut. Mr. Gray is an Irishman of
as much note as his paper. Though a
young man, he has beeu a member of
Parliament and Lord Mayor of Dublin,
aud was Mr. Parnell's tival for the
leadership of the Irish party. What
brings him now into notoriety is the
fact that a Dublin jury having convict
ed a man named Hyues of murder, the
Freeman's Journal came out with a
charge tbat the jury were drunk when
the verdict was made up. Judge
Lawson, who tried Hync's case, con
sidered this a sort of attack calculated
to paralyze the administration of jus
tice, and resolved to punish it iu a
manner that should serye as the more
memorable warning by reason of the
prominence of the offender. He there
fore caused the arrest of Mr. Gray, and
for the publication sentenced him to
three month's imprisonment and a fine
of $2,500. This was done arbitrarily
under the lepress-on law, without giv
iog the editor a chance for a hearing in
his own defence.
Of course great excitement ensued.
All Dublin was aroused, for no citizen
exceeds the editor in popularity. In
Parliament the matter was brought up,
with bitter denunciation of the Jtidjre
bv the Irish members, and a move
ment for Mr. Gray's relief was made,
but without avail. It is, however,
promised that the allegations aga'nst
the jury shall be "investigated"; so
that the Government puts itself into
the indefensible position of punishing a
man first, and inquiring whether be
deserved it afterwaids.
The London press with two excep
tions uphold tue Court; but public
opinion seems to be divided in England,
regret being expressed that chance was
not given him for defence. At this
distance it appears that this regret is
well founded. If investigation should
establish tbe truth of Mr. Gray's
charges, the Government will be iu as
awkward a position as can well lie con
ceived; and if they prove to be un
founded, it may still be said that Jus
tice Lawson acted in an unnecessarily
arbitrary and hasty manner. It is not
yet certain that any offence has been
committed, for if some of the jury were
drunk, Mr. Gray was clearly within
his rights, as a journalist in stating the
fact and making an appropriate com
ment. If tbe jurj* was solier, be well
deserves his punishment, but a large
part of its moral effect will be lost.
Tbe facts being in question, it is not
to bo wondered at that Dulilfn isgieat
lj excited, aud that a disturbance of
the peace is imminent.

| "The land of the -Dakota*', bus
I nothing more marvelous to show »b«*
I stranger than the great wheat f ruts
• which thickly stud the Red River
i Valley. The system on which all
these farms ar- conducted is much the
I same varying only in minor details, <o
that an account of one will give a gen
eral idea of them nil. The most
famous of them all is the Dairy tuple
! farm. It is, perhaps, the most per,
feet example in the northwest of
farming reduced to an exact science.
This farm is situated west of Fargo,
in the heart of what was formerly
called "The Great American Desert,"
since more favorable known as the
great Dakota wheat belt. It extends
along the Northern Pacific Railroad f. r
many miles. The lauds at fir.>t com-,
prised in it were purchased from the
railroad company at about forty cents
an acre, and the first purchases have
been gradually added to, at prices
ranging from that figure up to five
dollars per acre, until now there are
more than 75,000 acn s, or nearlv 120
square miles, all under the one man-,
Mr. Dalryiv,*»le, after whom
the farm was named, was a resident of
Pennsylvania and Wi;-. supp set! to be
"deep in wheat" there t»nd in Minneso
ta before coming here. He was se
lected on account ot such exj>erience
by the then owners of the farm to
come out and make the experiment in
Dakota of raising wheat on a large
scale, under an arrangement with
them that when the net profits of the
enterprise had reimbursed the cost o.'j
the land and all moneys paid out in its 1
development he should become half
owner of this and other large farms, i
a result long since attained. Ground ,
waa brokeu in 1874, aud, against many '
predictions of failure, the fa.m was an
assured success from the first and is
growing more profitable each year.
FARMFNU ON A 810 SCALK.
The reader if he would understand
tbo wheat question here, must dis- \
card all previous notions of farming iu .
the east, for not only the natural con
ditions, such as soil, climate and the
seasons, but all the methods of culti
vation pursued, are radically different.
The area of cultivation, implements
used and the results obtained—every
thing which enters into the problem—
are on a scale so vast that no previous
experience will aid them in the least.
The sole result sought for is to pro- j
duce a bushel of wheat at the least pos
sible cost, and in doing this experi
ence has shown tbat the amount of
manual labor must be reduced to the '
minimum, and tbefore all the old time I
methods of plowing, sowiug, reaping j
and threshing have been superseded
by the introduction in all those de- '
partments of the latest improvements
in la or-saving machinery. Bearing .
these things in mind, wheat-growing
in Dakota is of the simplest possible
description.
The soil on this farm is a rich
black muck, or loam, from three to sis
feet deep with a clay subsoil, contain
ing inexhaustible (juantities of lime and
other wheat nutritives. The surface
of the giound is broad prairie, devoid
of stone and timber and presenting DO
obstacle to the free list* of machinery.
The first plowing of the ra.tr prairie
called "breaking," is done with sulky j
plows during May and June. This;
plow has a share about fourteen t
inches wide, and the depth of the fur- ,
row, usually three or four inches, is
regulated from bis seat by the driver
by means of a lever. A average dav'a j
"breaking" is about eighteen miles.
Mr. Dalrymple has his working force
so arranged that he breaks up five
thousand miles a year. By the first of •
July the "breaking" becomes rottpn, |
and the workmen go back to it and go .
over the whole five thousand acres J
again in rotation with a second plow- j
ing, called "back-set!ing." This '
ground then lies fallow until the sue- |
cecding May, when the back-set fur-|
rows are harrowed down ami the j
"seeder" put to work. This is sim
ply an ingenious machine for broadcast I
sowing, which distributes a bushel'
and twenty quarts of seed per acre a
day. A second harrowing completes j
the labor of putting in the crop.
SOWING TIIE WHEAT.
The wheat sown is of the variety
called Scotch fife, which comes to per
fection in this latitude, making a hard,
round berry, which grades in the
market as "No. 1 hard" and always
commands a higher price than other
Western wheat. For many reasons
the crop matures rapidly; one of the
principal ones is, doubtless, that from
the looseness of the soil the winter
frosts go very deep. The spring sow
ing is done as soon as the surface is
sufficiently thawed, so tLat for many
weeks afterward the moisture lower
down is coming to the surface, latlen
with lime and other wheat nourish
ment, and keeps the roots of the young
and tender wheat damp and cool, and
it shoots up with surprising rapidity.
The climate has also much to do with
it. The days are long and exempt
flow those deliberating heats so tie
pressing to all forms of animal and
vegetable life, while the nights are
cool. While the inhabitants of less
favored sections are sweltering in a
heat that murders sleep, the "bonan
za farmer" complacently piles on
more woolen blankets and sleeps the
sleep of the just. Mr. Dalrvmplu has
out this year 35,000 acres of wheat,
and as he adds 5,000 acres a year, the
whole 75,000 acres will soon be under
cultivation.
Of course such an enterprise requires
a multitude of men, horses, mules and
niach'uery. Something over 700
mules and horses are kept on the furin,
and during harvest aud threshing as
many as l>oo men find employment
there. Without the most complete
system and order all would be "con
fusion worse confounded." The laud
is cut up into divisions of 5,000 acres,
with a general superintendent over
each, who has under him a division
foreman aud a gang foreman. The
divisions are also further subdivided
as convenience requires. Each divis
ion has its boarding houses, barns,
tool rooms, etc , bat the supplies ar.* all
kept in one store, from which tbev
are dmwn upon by rtqu'situn. as ii
I the army. The finances are conducted
upon a system of roucbcrs and tb«
. ll. en are paid wh« ne*» r they dt-maid it-
In every department tbe most rom
pl« le system prersil*. There can !»■
no sh rking or crookedness without
j icstaut detection. Every man in tbe
j establishment lias bis pia< e and must
I fi!l it faithfully or leave.
Tbe harvest .-ea.~on is al vars the
< period of greatest activity on P»l
--ryiuplo farm, and usually lasts some
liltccn davs. Near two hundred
automatic ?«lf-binders are used and
every two machiues are followed by »n
expert on hor.-<-ba< k, who repairs
breaks and keeps them in running
j order The bundles of grain are
rollected in'o |.iSc* of about a bun
ci red bush •!» en. b, but are neither
«lacked or shocked, as tl.re-hing im
mediately follows tbe hart eat. Orer
thirty straw-burning --team thresh
ers are put at work as * >»>n as
tbe cutt>ng is completed. Tl—v «a< h
have a capacity ol 1,000 busb<;-
day, and the grain is t.iken direct
from them to the railroad and loaded
in cars for the Kastern market.
Everywhere steam and borne power
are used to the utmost, and every part
of this vast enterprise is so nicely ad
justed that the whole system goes on
like clock work. Tbe estimated crop
this year is 750,000 bu-bels. .V
bushel of wheat can be produced on
this farm for 35 cents, including in
that estimate taxes, labor, sei d and
interest on investment, and tlat
bushel of wheat can lie laid down in
Philadelphia, at a slight pr< tit, for f 7
cents. Comparing those %* itb
tbe current maiki't prices wiil »• oiW
demonstrate thai Mr Dairympe ia
j not losing any money 5a bis anuual
crop of 750,000 bu-h-ds. On this farm
the aauunl averare yield has been
ta-eiity-two bushels jier acre, without
fertilizers or other artificial aids, and it
has been demonstrated that the wheat
producing qualities of the soil are
practically inexhaustable. Tbe net
profits of this farm last year were 60
per cent, on the whole investment.
"lirenklnK I •» I he Party."
When the Independent* of Penn
sylvania are challenged by some per
sistent place seeker, or unscrupulous
spoils-peddler, with a demand to know
whether they want, or whether tbey
mean, "to break up the party," bis
urgency and anxiety are altogether
mjre ridiculous than important.
Whatever interferes witb the poli
ticians' sbemes seems to them like a
rending of tbe political pillars of tbe
naiion. If a job which tbey bare in
good progress is rudely overthrown,
they are quita sure that the party is
destroyed. "Tbe partj" to tbem is
simply a beast of burden—and a very
patient, long-eared animal it often
proves itself—to carry their schemes
safely into market.
It has long been known that in tbe
making of omelette, it is necessary to
break some eggs. Undoubtedly
something will lie broken in tbe course
of the present Pennsylvania campaign.
That is. in fact, tbe precise object of
the Pennsylvania Indejieadent mor
nient. Tbey projiose to uproot, by an
emphatic and di'ect exertion of pop
ular srength, some of the abuses
which have been fastened upon tbe
conduct of their party and upon tbe
administration of public affair*. This
will no doubt "break up" some body's
schemes. If Senator Cac*eron bas
given assurances, to this person or
that, with reference to the election
of 1 SB-i , and IH>»I, and I**s, and *o
on, these arrangements may very pr<»b
ably lie disturbed Tbev are among
the eggs that will get broken Tbe
designation of General Bearer for tbe
Governorship was made a good while
ago, and thus has tbe dignity of age as
well as the sanctity of tbe "machine"
stamp, but even it is rery certain to
IK- rudely bandied.
To any, therefore, who tbink that
the party is simply sn organization
i for office getting and spoiiw-distrtbu
ting, and who fesr an earnest and
vigorous popular uprising, Wau*e
! tbev know that their private scheme*
will thereby Buffer, it is not worth
while to preeeßt any words of pre
tended comfort. let the heathen
rage,—let the jobbers iind the spoils
nien howl. Krerjf cry from them is
additional evidence that a reeon«trura
tion is in profWi's which will IJI* to the
public benefit.
Hut it should lie said, with just as
much directness anil positives*, that
th'-re is no purpose anion# those who
support the candidates of the I'hih
di-lphia Convention to distract the
organization in Is-half of Republican
principles, or to impair in tbe least
degree the force with which they are
maintained. It is the object of the
Indefiendent movement to plant tbe
Republican standard on sure gronnd,
where the party can rally around it,
and where it will do so for the greater
campaign of 1884. This movement is
the conservator of real Republicanism.
It is making it possible lor intelligent
und earnest citizens to bob! on to tbe
name of Rcpublii-ans, and not feel
themselves discredited. In tbe em
brace of tbe Dorsey*, the Hradys, tbe
Ifubhells, and all of their genus—not
to mention by name ibe men who rep
resent it in Pennsylvania—Republi
canism would couie to mean little
thai any good citizen could IK» proud
of, aud this effort iu casting off their
control, will lie to the advantage of
party as a national organization, as
suring its further usefulness to the
country, and so justifying its further
control of public affairs.
Regarding "the party," therefore, as
a voluntary association, on the basis of
principle, to forward measures which
will put the principle in action, it may
be answered, most emphatically,
that the Independent Republican
movement is not only intended n<>r
calculated to "break it up,'' but is, on
the contrary, the sure means of pre
serving and strengthening it The
men who are going to vote Mr.
Stewart mean to do so because they
are earnestly devoted to Republican
principles, aud because they fee that
these are lieing trampled in tbe dust
