But we havo never hesrd one of those men advance a reason why the veteran should not have thb preference, and there are many valid reasons why he should. Ability and purity of character should be the first considerations In choosing a man for a public trust; the next, what has he done for the publlo to deserve reward by the publict As to the first consid eration, no man can deny that, as ft class, tbe ex-soldler is as able and as pure as any other. The question does not need argument. As to tbe second what dees not the country owe the soldier, even to the very existence of a Union if not civil government itself? The men who saved the country have tbe best right to rule It, If la Its present prosperity It has positions of trust and pecuniary profit to give, they belong of right to tbe men whose bravery and sufleriiig. in the hour of the" country's need, whipped' armed treason into submission, and when that bloody job was done, restored prosperity and credit to tbe country by re-entering tbe avocations and professions tbey had left, aad build ing up again prosperous common wealths ail over the broad land. We claim that when soldiers ask that preference be shown them in tbe distribution of offices tbey are not ssking for political alms, but political rights. In tbe more important offices, while the soldier has, in a degree, been recognized, that recognition has not been carried as far as It ought to have been, aod Iu many, many cases It has been shamefully disregarded. Not only has the soldier applicant been shoved aside, but unrepentent rebels, whose bands are yet hardly rid of tbe callouses worn on them by carrying sword or musket in rebellion, have been given the places. Repentent or unre pentent. no ex-rebel ought to be given an office under tbe government he fought to overthrow. Tbe stain on blm is Ineflacable while he lives, and even the second generation might well be looked on with suspicion, at any rate while there are young men of loy&l antecedents to be touad to fill the places. The old Copperheads ought to be placed In the same category with the Southern rebel, only on an Infinite ly lower plane of turpitude. We all knew Northern men during tbe war, whose every sympathetic heart throb was with tbe enemies of bis country; and since tbtn. we havo beheld the spectacle of their forgiving and for getting neighbors marching up to tbe polls and voting for them for office!

(the voice of tbe people ia the voioe of God) doee not always express tbe most judlolous course for human action. That the heated opinion ot the mass of feeaple* Is often, through Its emotional sympa thies, acted on by designing and self ish men to its own Injury. And does It not behoove citisens to think before tbey set. and^ question She the acts of tbelr self-elected leaders. And for like reasons the motives and Judg ments of ordinary masses of men, should be slow to action. And equally slow should be tbe cboloe and rellanoe on leaders, until by tbelr acts and ems- duct, they bhve proved thessselves worthy of tbelr leadership. For although, as is generally conced ed, the opinion of an honest, compo- tent judge Is better than the verdict of a common jury of twelve men; yet this presupposes that tbe judge Is aa honest man, and competent In all ways to render an Impartial judgment founded en both facta and jnttloe. And the same qualities of competency aad intelligence should be reqmred la tbe choice of leaders.
