After the final destruction Of the present Wing

1t will always be referred to by writers of those
days to come as the party of no principles, that
founded their hopes of success upon the gullibiity
OF the people. Postery, that generally treats the
men and deeds of other days with lenity, will
scarcely believe that in the enlightened year 1910
there was strong political party that claimed all

repeatedly declared would oyerwhclm us in ruin,

Gen. sEarrison's Principles.

1t is amusing to see how the Wings are con-
Quoting the present canvass for the Presidency
At the SRiih, Mr.. Harrison is recommended as a
violent Ant-Ajoltonia; but at the Nyb he is
a modern disciple If Aboktiul
At the West he is in favor of repeating the salt
duty, but at the East he is strongly opposed to
such movement!
At the S,uth he is called a strict coastruction-
ia but at the North his constitutional beliefs of
the indefinite Webster school
In Virginia he is Aati- Bunk but in Maine he
is IN tar0r ofa BH,hI
In ono section he goes for Internal Improve
ments by the General Government; in another
section he goes decidedly against them
In one portion of the country he is Protector
Tariff man; in other portions he is held up as
thoroughly opposed to such a SYSTEM
Never was there a man who was more "aH
things 10 all men," than this same Gen Harrison
We have heard some of the leading Wings about
here say, that the General was no honest Upa,,
if he would suffer so many different opinions 20

we would ask our readers, has Mr., Harrison ever

Pittsburgh in 1874.

A Revolutionary worthy who visited
Pihsburg in 1884, thus spoke of the then
future Birmingham of the Ohio Valley:
" Plttsburg is inhabited almost entirely
by Scotch and Irish, who live in patry
log houses, and are as dirty as in the
north of Ireland, or even Scotland. -
There is much small trade carried on

iorty-fiye per cent, from Philadelphia and
Baltimore. They take in the shops, mo-

they are likely to be damned without ben

Territory Sentinel says; 1.-The prospects for fine
crops of grain in the Territory this season are very
dattering. While we hear with regret of the des.
truction of the wheat south and east by the fly,
the rust &c, it is gratifying to know that in
Wisconsin we shall have "cnough to spare" Of
our own. The wheat harvest has already com
mcnced in some portions of the interior, and as
lar as we are able to learn, the labor of the hus-
bandman will be fully repaid. The recent rains
have affected some pieces with rust, but in gene

The election IL now over and as far 30 we hay
received ibtormaon the friends OF Democrac
have sufficient cause for rejoicing. In this coun
~ we have gained a signal triumph, and particu
larry SO, when we take into consideration the dis

His moral character is without a biai..isa, and all

On the other hand, the Democratic candidate A.
H. DoDGs, Esq. Is young man, and was, gene.

comfy before the commencement of the canvass
and therefore, though his moral character is equal
~ unexceptionable and his intellectual cndow-

many friends Of the Democratic party were in
duccd to vote for his opponent ON conside-
rations alone of perSmm acquaintance. Tins
no one possessing the least informoton on the
subject and making any prctensions to truth and
varacity, will deny.

Affection.

One ofthe prettest specimens of Hindoo
poetry celebrates the history of a youth
who, soon after his marriage, being COM
PEELED to make a long journey. takes leave
of his bride in the garden belonging to his
house. There he plants spikenard, and
enjolns her to watch over it with the most
asslduous care. "As long as this plant
flourishes," said he, "all will be FORUM
ate to me; but should it wither away,
some fatal misfortune will assuredly hap
pen to me-" Business of an important
nature detained the bridegroom from his
home for several years. On his return,
he assumed the garb of Hindoo mendi-
cant, in order to see whether his wife had
been faithful to him cor not during his
absence. Thus disguised, he calls at his
house, and being admitted into the gar
den, beholds his wife lost to every plea
sure but that of weeping over the spike
nard, which still flourishes under her
care.
