Another leisoil whichangla to be learned
from the painful dealings of Disiiire Provi
dence, to MiiAlilalluSion has been, made, is
that of greater moderation and mutual for
bear:lee in our political differences. Why
should an electien be a signal for the indul
gende and, ditirilay of:Rs Much bitterness and
rancour? Why, if' citizens differ in their
view's of publie treasures* or in :their predi
lectiOns for candidates foinffiee, can they not
differ as men, as: brethren, and as Christians?
The!iuerease of heatand Animosity during a
few years pasti, is ominous of evil to our Gee .
institutions, turd' most alarming to the gentle
inc liatriot. What is gained to either side by
ill isrepresentationand falsehoode,byirritation
and coutuindy, by .'invective and abuse ?
Why shoillit the bringinifonvard of a man's
