*■ . Iu Bad lasic.
In the present unsettled and peri
lous condition of the country; remarks
tlic Macon Mossenger—(and wq cor-
djally approve the editor’s views on
the subject)—we think very bad ta^te
is displayed by those - who are thrust
ing themselves before the people for
ollice, or suffering their friends to do
so. YVe know it must be distasteful
to some of the gentlemen whose names
have doubtless been used without their
knowledge or cons nt. Nearly six
months must elapse before our gener
al elections, and God only knows what
dangers we are to pass through, or
changes may take place in that lime.
It will be most unfortunate if the
great and permanent interests of the
Republic are over-looked or sacrificed
in a pell-mell scramble for office.—
Now mortifying would be such a spec
tacle’ Greed for office contributed
largely for the overthrow of the old
Government. Unless we arc watch
ful it will be the downfall of the new.
I.et the people set their faces against
the old and effete placemen, who pre
maturely thrust themselves personally
or through their friends into the lists
as eanudates. YVe now have Chief
Rulers in whom we may repose the
utmost confidence. Let us stand by
them and the Republic with united
hearts and strong hands.
held back by their party leaders.—
Those who doubted the possibility of
an army being raised iu the Coufed
crate State.s, can'no v be easily con
vinced that a force doub.y ndequa c
to all our wants, can be brought into
service within one month.—.Montgom
