Th.re is au end for us all there are two conditions, but we are not to judge, besidis its tone of our immediate business to ;n )U'h a: j.iu on subjects like this. This is not the idea. As the campaign waxes warm, the good citizens, all, have one cud in view. The b.'St government possi ble1, looking to the best iutrest of the people. We take it for granted that all good cili::ena are anxious that the government should meet! the ends for which government should seek. But the ways aud means und methods cf gaining those ends are numerous. Nearly every one has his own views, but all agree eutli ciently to fall into some party. Juat now we are divided among our.sehes to an extent not seen be fore ia the last '" years. Neigh bors disagree on methods and plans and parties. They are sincere, we believe, and tha.y have, under riqhts their own, to believe in and support any party they f .cl it their duty to do. While this is true, we should not forget to accord to every man this fight and privilege without im peaching his honor and sincerity. We surely have not gone so far from the recognition of the rights given us, that matters of public in terest cannot be discussed and dis agreed urea, without ruisirg lad blood and el'.'ging cha-"ns between m?n a' d uinbors, who ought to remain ft lends. Let no ketp cool and argue- these nutbrs of i.'f;eroaces in a. friendly and reasonable, way. V.'e have a right to disagree, but we have no right to i nip u gu men's motives!' or abuse them.
