Excerpt from Present Wants of the Nation: Pacification, Resumption of Specie Payments, the Silver Dollar, Reform of the Civil Service, Education of the People, Exemption From Land GrantsBut this great end can be secured only on a basis ofjustice - oi security in the eh joyment of rights. Nothing short of this can give the country lasting peace. After all, the greatest attribute of nations is justice. If not the most brilliant and showy, it is the most necessary and use ful, and''in it is the hiding of the Na~ tion''s power. Certain great doctrines, which were established by the war and the will of the people, have been em bodiedin the new amendments to the Constitution. These doctrines are a common'' liberty, a common citizenship, and a''common suffrage for all the peo ple. These are the shield which the Nation holds out over the heads of those otherwise unprotected. Any policy which twould abrogate or cripple or limit the full and fair application of these doctrines, cannot give rest to the Nation. Were it supposable that such a policy would conciliate the South, it would not conciliate the _north; and it must not be forgotten that there is a North, and that it, too, must be concili ated. For this purpose nothing is want ing but the maintenance of the Consti tution and the execution of the laws.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
