SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 7th.
Tue ArotTneosis oF INAcTioNn.—Since
the breaking out of this'rebell'on, both under
Buchanan’s: and Lincoln's Administrations,
‘there have been many presses‘in the loyal
States ready to apetheosize the military commander who would do the least to suppress
revult and restore the supremacy of the Government. There were thecrists, whe believ__ed, or'snid. thatthe rebellion would end itself by its,own violence, and ttiat little should
, be done but wait the issue of events. The
old Democratic principle—" that government
is best which governs least”—had taken possession of a large vlass of minds, and ‘that
commander is best who does the least’? was
the legitimate child of the parent principle.
Accordingly, acting upon acttled convictions,
we have seen. for more than -two—long—and
~bloody-years 0 powerful influences exerted all
over our cougtry by. mien who have.no sympath yt the: ‘partyin, power to hold back
the hands raised to strike the monster stabbing at the vitals of our nation; and even
we have seen hundreds who ought to have
been equal to an understanding -of the necessities of the times, who claimed to be the especial champions of the Government, clogging the march of public sentiment. as it
sought. to solve the great question of self
government by a forward ¥adical movement.
Those men who comprehended the magnitude of the contest at the outset have been
—hooted and disgraced;winle the minds that
ran in the old and.narrow ruts made by purtisen. wear in time of peace have been te
cepted as the exponents of true warlike pelicy. The weak and the timid count on safety
more in frail vessels coasting within sight of
their native hills. though the breakers are
near, while the wise and the brave, knowing
the strength of their gallant ship, aro sure
of greater safety though all lund-marks are
lost in the trackless deep_
Genius and-action have had the go by too
much in this war, and King Log has had his
eroaking worshippers ‘Times are changing.
Under the rule of Rosecrans, Butler and
Hooker, a new order of things has commenced. Still the adorers of the sluggish. Me
Clellan find an ample field for their jugglery
and deception. He was raised to the elevation of a Napoleon in public estimation, privcipally by the men whose chiefest pride is to
assert the superiority of a race cultivated
without let or hindrance during countless
agea, over unother debased, demoralized and
ddgraded through years of ignorance and slavery’ Swceasivnists glory in the inaction of
loyalist. They rejoice. in the do-nothing
policy formerly practised by the Government, and join their voices With might and
Main against any course calculated-ty strike
decisively at either the rebela or their prep.
erty. They’ would like to see open and
avowed traitors in command of loyal armies,
but’hs that can hardly be realized, the next
best course for them to pursue is to laud that
pohey which will produce the least good resulta to the Union cause. ‘Therefore, they’
have strong and never tiring voices in lwuda
tion of McClellan, Fitz-John Porter, and
men of that ik, and nothing ein exceed their
hatred of those who would weaken rebellion
by anatching away the laborers that produce
the bread for its support. “Do-nothing” has
been sanctified too long. Genius, faith-and
daring are the trinity that must be substi.
tuted for worship. :
GREENBACKS AGAIN.—The parson haa
written himself down an ass-again on the
greenback question. It is strange that some
men who know nothing whereof they write
will assume to mstruct a ‘community.—
We'll wagera blanket with the parson to
be given to any one who sleeps cold, that the
pa‘son has never road the lawunder which
tne State Treasurer acts; another blanket
that he can't make an intelligible argument
against the Treasurer en the basis of facta;
and still another that he can't show anv one
but sharpers, was injured by the action of
the State Treasurerin the greenback transaction. We doubt ifhe ever read the Treasurer’s Report. . se
‘The parson and his kind, remind wa “ol
Henry Ward Beecher’s dog, that, having
seen a emall squirrel run in a hole kept barking at the mouth of the hole and looking fe.
rocious at it for sixmonths after. No lapse
of time could getit out of the dog's memory
that there must be a — in the hole be«
cause be saw one runin there. And su he
kept barking away at nothing, the squirrel
all the time being anywhere but where the
“dog imngined.

ENFORCEMENT
need a State law for the enfurcement of eontracts. Itis aprinciple of State Constitux.
tiuns that no law shall be passed imparing
the obligation of contracts. It ia thus estab~
lished that State laws should favor the en-~
forcement of the obligation of contracts, and
many of our Jawyers are of the opinion that
a-note given payable in gold coin can be col«
lected under present laws in geld coin or its
equivalent. With honest men there is no
need of any,.law on this point, for they: will
comply with their obligations whatever-they
may be. But in dving business it sometimes
happens that dealings are had with pers6ns
having no care for their reputation, and it-is
for these that compulsory laws are required.
In order to guard the righta,of honést meu
and compel rascals to dojustice, it would be
wellfor the present Legislature to enact a
law enforcing the obligation of contracts that
stipulate payment in coin. Indeed. such a
law seems to be absolutely necessary, for no
min ean be hired by the month, or job, nor
any contractJét. for which payment may.not
be-_tendered in paper, though guld—be-stipulated in the contract, unléss the Courta held
that the contract shall be executed to the
letter. A paralizution of industry must ens.
aue unless there is some protection tu the
laboring man against the rapacity of his em
ployer. Paper must bécone. the currency
and made receivable for all State and private
dues, or contracts made papable in the recognized currency of the State must be paid
in that’ currency. Otherwise the working
‘men of the country are liable to be swindled
vf-one half their dues by being paid in paper.
It isa matter of equity that the obligations
Lof men in their business transactions should
be clearly defined by statute.
