Too Dear for the Whistle.

We believe in reconciliation, and desire a united country, but if we have to purchase these things by placing the leaders of the rebellion in offices of trust and power in the general government, where they eon exercise acts of authority over the brave soldiers who saved the country, it is better to do without them. Wo cannot afford it at such a price. The nature and necessity of the case requires that a line be drawn somewhere, and it seems to us that if the “solid south' ’ is allowed to govern itself, and choose its own representatives, without fedora! interference, it is all the present generation can possibly ask; and on no account should the general government be allowed to pass out of the control of the Union element of the country.— Remington Times.
