For the Freeman.
Come ND Higher,


This may be a strange theme for contem-
plation to you reader, but think of the whisper
ings of this little word to the human heart, and
ask yourself ifit signifies anything. Let lit
tie voice whisper in your ear every day these
words-come up higher! fused Alright they
will act as a charm to- stimulate and arouse
your energies; to invigorate your mind to a
deep and lasting interest in seeking knowl-
edge. You wish to occupy something more
than mere humble position in this life. how
will you obtain it? You seek distinction and
honor, and it is necessary that your advance
ment should be onward and upward, if you
wish to gain it: but like many others you
pause before the many obstacles and difficult
ties which beset your pathway on every side,
and conclude that it is in vain to reach the
end, the barrier seems impossible to pass and
you are ready to discourage the attempt as
useless and unavailing; but We would say to
you, 90 on, come up higher! Let this little
incentive inspire you with new courage, slim
ulate you TO renewed action and renewed eff
fort, for he who makes no effort will make no
progress; you need daily incitement to press
you forward, listen then, as you catch the
gentle sound that says come up higher
You may be all your life time coming up high
er, adding knowledge to knowledge, as the
traveller adds step to step. The process is
slow but sure, 1t is effective, and it is the only
way 10 gain the summit; we cannot gain it at
leap, for it requires toll, time and patience,
to reach the giddy heighth of fame, and make
sure the path behind US. 70 get knowledge,
we must do as those do who get wealth.
Save the odd pieces. take care of the pence
the pounds will take care of themselves
Think what vast pieces of work have been
done little by little. The works Of former
ages withstand the touch of time. remaining
as memento's of the glory of the past We
contemplate their history and the granduer
oftheir designs; once they were ableak waste,
where the shrill note of birds and bowling of
beasts were heard, but man, by his ceaseless
energy and activity. converted those places
into cities aud palaces, that he might go on :
ward in his progress, and satisfy his ambition
by coming up higher in the knowledge ofthe
arts and sciences. Be cheered then by this
in seeking knowledge. Come up higher, come
slowly. come gradually, but be always coming
every leisure moment you have improve it,
let nothing pass unnoticed, every book you
open, look at and peruse it carefully, and
hearken to catch that little sound that whis-
pers to your aspiring mind-come up higher

The Late Elections-Cheerin Prospects.

The Late Elections Cheering Prospects.
The late elections have proved highly ad-
Vantageous to the Wings. In MosouTi the
Wings have elected two out and out Scott
members of Congress; the Benton men three
members. including Benton himself and the
Locofoco party proper. NONE. Up to two
years ago. We believe the Wings never had
member of Congress from this State.
North Carolina has been in the hands Of
the Locofoco party for two or three years past.
They elected their Governor two years ago
BY near 1000 majority, and had majority
in both branches of the Legislature Now
they re-elect their Governor. but the Wings
probably have majority in the Legislature,
which secures US United States Senator.
Iowa, State that has never electeda Wing
Congressman, nor a Wing Legislature, now
gives US the two Congressman and majeri-
ty in the Legislature. which secures Wing
United States Senator, in place of the present
Locofoco one. This is propitious Of what will
take place in November.

him, and is now as warm supporter of Scott
as any Wing in the State.
We had conversation with Mr.. Castle
few days since on this matter. and he au-
thorized us to make the above statesments.

On next Friday evening the ChlPpeWa Quo
will be addressed by

of the best and most successful stump spea-

& The great obligations of the Am

EW The great obligations of the Ameri-
can people TO Gen. Scott, can only be reali'
zed and estimated, in all its lenth and breadth
by comparing his services with those of other
men whom the country has rewarded with
its highest honors, Harrison fought two
pitched battles-one at Thames and at Tip
pecanoe: Jackson fought two: and Scott
fought fourteen.
None of the brave men named, except
Scott, was ever wounded in battle. He was
shot down at Lundy's Lane, after having
two horses killed under him, and poured out
his blood like water upon that terrible field
Who will say. in sober earnest, that be de-
serves less of his country than the greatest o
those. only excepting Washington, who have
filled the Presidential chair? Who will say
that he is less worthy?

~ A week or two since, the Democrat
published the remuneration from the Wing
party of Mr.. Short living in BalIville town
ship. We took little trouble TO ascertain
who this Mr.. Short is, and We find that he is
a very clever fellow, a dyed-in-the-wool Dem
ocrat, having never voted Wing ticket in
his life. .....ss.a
We think few more such desertions from
the Wing party will use it entirely up.

S$sS


s AT the State Conventian held in this place
on the 2lst day of July last, the following
resolution was unanimously adopted
ResOlrsd, That power be conferred upon
the State Central Committee, by this Con-
yention, to call Wing Mass Ratification Con-
yention, fixing such time and place as they may
deem expedient, and also to organize a well
digested system Of county mass meetings.
In pursuance of this authority, and in COM
Plance with numerous requests, the commit
Tee now designate the sh Of September,
proximo. ana Columbus as the place for
ofahd Central Reunion Of the friends of
Western Interests, of Domestic Industry, and
OF the Hero and statesman who has done so
much to illustrate and ennoble American
History, The Committee would have pre-
ferred the week next following the one nam
ed, IN point OF time, but that is already APP
propriated to the Agricultural State Fair
an lnstltu tlon having for its object the pros
perity Of too many of the same industrial in
terests to which the Wing party is devoted
to allow of the selection of any period for
our Convention which would divert attention
from it, or prevent our friends from attending
BOTH And we did not deem it advisable TO
postpone our Convention to a period later
| than the Fair. The Committee have under
advlsemement system of County Meetings,
to be held afterwards, which they viii an
nounce in due time.
The Committee have received SO many ad-
wees from various quarters Of the State of
disposition on the part of many heretofore
not voting the Wing ticket, to throw aside
their supposed allegiance to platform
which proposes nothing, and to candidate
who has achieved nothing. and to rally with
intelligent independence positive support
of American Industrial Interests, connected
with the name of most iIlustrious American
Patriot, that they deem it proper to state that
the only test that should be applied is, not
who has been with US heretofore. but WHO'S
with US now. The invitation is equally broadto
all true friends of the country, to its industry
and its domestic commerce.
Invitations have been sent to Hon. Rufus
Choate, Hon. Robert c. Winthrop, Hon.

tingushed orators Though some Of them
may not be able to attend, there will without
question be SO much good speaking talent
here as to insure lively and instructive
time. tits intended in part to honor and

This declaration, by the official organ ot

showed that the party attributed very little
importance to the religious test In fact
Pierce and his party adopted system Of

system of Great Britain. for no other appa-

the Constitution.

Here now was glorious chance for the
champion of Catholics and Irishmen, but Mr.
Franklin Pierce was dumb, and Gov. Ssees
amendment was carried by 1o2 to 63
Dec. Is. In the evening the religious test
on representation was stricken out, but no re-
marks from Mr. Pierce.
PIERCE ON OTHER MATTERS.
Dee 10 Franklin Pierce spoke two or
three times on the Judiciary In fact, Cath
olIc Emancipation seemed to be the only sub
ject on which his tongue was tied.
Dec "a. Franklin Pierce spoke on the
calling out of the militia.
Dec. 26. Franklin Pierce opposed the cleo
ton of clerks of the Courts by the people,
and had that clause stricken out. The same
day he spoke several times on the election
and jurisdiction of petty Judges. No subject
was too petty for his tongue but Catholic
Emancipation.
Dec. 27. Franklin Pierce opposed dis
tricting the State into twenty Senatorial Dis
tr:cts on the ground that it would endanger
his party's superiority, and it was defeated.
The same evening he spoke four or 6ve times
Oh Petty justices Courts.
CONCLUSION OF THE SESSION.
The Convention finally adjourned on the
Sd day of January, 1881, and during its sess-
ion Franklin Pierce found tine to speak on
almost every subject, trivial, petty, State
and National, and that. too, without decen-
ding from the Chair, but never once during
the whole session of the Convention, while
the religious test was before the convention,
did he say one tOord in favor of striking it
out.
And yet every lying sheet and Loco-Foco
mouth is full of fulsome praises on Franklin
Pierce for doing what he never did, What
dependence. then, can naturaized citizens
place upon anything these people say?
