Mr. Editor : Bolting is a modern term used to describe the action of party men who.do not abide the decision' of the caucus or convention. The political signification of the word is new and special, but the po litical condaat . hloi ijk mitytsjrtcstn :tsr 1 nn nnwhaecn party politics. Nearly the entire mcmbership of the old Federal party bolted that organization. The Congrcs a:nna nnm;n9(;.n Preside cy, in 1824-was f bltedby;fourTfifths, -pf the people. The Yhig party wa3 " bolted" out ot existence in a sinsle, year, and re placed by the Republican party. V There is a philosophy in 41 bolting." Po litically speaking, the springs of action with individuals may be self-interest, disap pointed ambilion, or something worse. Bat masses of people arc not moved by bad motives. What we call public opinion, is a sentiment or judgment common to large numbers, with rlothing individual about it. it results ironv general discussion ana re flection, from the comparison of many opin ions by many individuals, , and the adoption Of what may appear sound and good, how ever suggested or evolved. Generally slow in formation . and proceeding on solid grounds it loses as it advances, whatever of the character of personality jt originally had and becomes as abstract as tue -written law. This sort of public opinion is neces sarily always honesty and is aptly and truly described by -the 'maxim 44 Vox poindi: vox est Dei".,., . - .Glauber. Republican Meeting in Brunswick.
