Sensible editorial oa the subject of
expatriation, which we copy in this
paper. "What a*eyon going to do?"
is the question that meets one at

desires should
not l>o granted. Let us accept this
decree as one of those dispen^htibp'S
which our faith teaches us are emit
for wise purposes, and do out duty
manfully in the sphere of life which
God seems to have marked out for
us,. We muBt not desert our country
in the hottr of her adversity. She
is our first and onr last love,
in adversity or in prosperity, she
entitled tó the reverence and services
of her children. ' . ,
v The question is no longer one of
what we would have, but wha,t, ui -
bóund to accept'the result with tfij
dignified acquiecence of a brave but
ünforturiate people who have not
lost their honor, even though the
fates were adverse to their efforts.
The storm cloud that has hovered
over our heads has at last lifted.
The evils which war has left ih its
path remain, atad 'all the beneficent
threes of peace must bo organised to
overcome thV-fa. Our duty tó our
State, to society, to out- families, and
to ourselves, demands that we should
yield obedience, to the form of gov-
ernment against which we can no
longer dontend. VVe would not have
thiif rtbediencó given with a craven
or sycophantic spirit, but' would have
it gracefully yielded like men should
■yield who have not lost their self-
respect. General Forrest manfully
tells his troops the truth, and advises
them to go home arid behave them-
stlves' like men. He says:-
'•The goverament which we sought
to estalilish and perpetuate, is at an
epid. .Reason dictates, andhumapity
demands, t'jiat no more blood be shed-
Fully realizing and feeling that such
is.the case, it is your duty and mine
to.lay down our arms, Submit to the
"powers tnat be," and to aid in
restoring peace and establishing law
and order throughout tl o land."
# * "Whateyut ypur respon-
sibilities may. be to government, to
society , or to individuals, meet them
like men."
This is the right spirit, and we
cannot do better than to follow the
ad vibe of one of our most'distinguish*
fed military leaders, Onr religion
teaches us "to reverence "the powers
that he." Our duty to society .and
humanity prompts us to giVe obé*
dience to the law, and to aid in pre-
serving good order This is what
fre have to do^and let us set our-
selves to the task with dignity;, with
iianliness, aqd with earnestness.,. , •
