Show A CEAZY SALT LAKE POLITICIAN. Some Salt idiotic republican, who 1 has a bad case of cacothes scribendi, failing to find sufficient filthy nutriment nutri-ment in the Tribune of this city, writes to its Chicago namesake that he must have that paper; he can't do without it, and then proceeds to inflict in-flict a column of terrible bosh on its readers, of which the following sentences sen-tences are fair specimens : "With the northern copperheads it is tho same now as it was a dozen years ago. They wero so mean than it was impossible for them to btcorno moaner. bni,-ftk3, cowarde, traitors, and liars then. thayaratht lamn now; and Tildon and Hendricks tire perfect representatives of the brood of viitera. No ro'-aner &pp';r-heada &pp';r-heada evtr lived Vallaudigharn had more courage, that is all. Ten to ono this fellow is feeding at the publio crib, and looks for an official life-tenure under tho Hayes civil service system. But Uncle Sammy is likely to remand him to the list of thoso who have to rustle for a living, along with" many other ol the "liar and calumniator" breed. "Whether we are a i,ation, or two, or four, or forty nations, i as ojnri a 'jura tion flow as in J'il. Tho hght to destroy de-stroy our national unity ii as unscrupulous unscrupu-lous M violont and dolor mined a ii was thon, and sevon-loll meaner, mere is DOthing elao involved in the November Novem-ber electron. While that is in doubt, whnt other fU option can occupy uh indeed? From appearance, too, we shall havo to fight it iiror overy e';osd year, at least, for a generation. Thero is no party or body of men, north or south, which desires to weaken the national unity, nnd this political scalawag knows it. There is an increasing number, however, who would restoro the Union to it constitutional rtlalioni, and stop the official intermeddling of the administration adminis-tration of tho general government with elections for partisan purposes. Tho opposition to republicanism is too largt, respectable and well pronounced pro-nounced to bo characterized as a secession se-cession element. lint tho damphools are evidently not all dead. This great genius is for another war, ii appears, utile? the republican parly shall tugeced in tho coining election: "Wnonvor thinks that wo ran l,t, a-ichrvl, or UlU.-j, or wWII.-l out of tho fruit &r tho lui war, rn'ist have a Rhort uitut'.ry. jt (nBy UtUlillU,l Ull J.;0.K t,,i,,g KW- U'Jliiff, will lubinit to any Te:4ia given at tho polls. So they will, unless it is dishonestly procured, or tlioy tind they cannot peaceably chango it. When it is givtm in favor of the principles supposed sup-posed to hava been suppressed oy the war, if over, and maintained whenever it becomes plainly apparent thattho tij;ht can no longor be won with ballots, tlio weapons will bo changed, for a c If-preservation is tho Grit law of naturo. It will make very little ditlerence, in such a case, whether they are in possession posses-sion of the government or not. Should they bo obliged to rebel, it will make tho war more grievous, that is all. Instead ot being confined to a section, it would bo coextensivo with tho country no section sec-tion might hope to escape un visited of its ravages. . II this bloodthirsty scribbler truly represents the republican party, (we fear he does echo the feelings ot some of its wicked leaders) that organization organiza-tion is in a bad way. A party which welcomes universal civil war and its dire calamities rather than lose its hold of the government is composed not only of rebels and traitors, but it is a band of Mexican assassins, and worse than an army of Sioux savages. Revolutionary in its tendencies as the republican party certainly is, we must dissent from this imputation upon the patriotism and decency ol a majority of its members. The country coun-try has had enough of domestic war for a century at least, and if anything any-thing will elect Mr. Tilden president it is this senseless "ballot or bullet" style of argument. The Hekald'3 compliments to "Douglass," hoping that he may cool his bloody ardor and prepare hia mind to acquiesce in the election of Uncle Sammy Tilden in November as president of the United States on the 4ih of March. Then with peace and prosperity restored, he even may bles3 the day when tho democracy came again into power and replaced sectional strife by the old fraternal love for the Union in each of tho thirty-eight states. |
