SPLITTING ON THE PLATFORM.

The Editor of the Manitowoc Tribune makes
up wry faces as he swallows the Platform, as
follows
In the resolutions passed by the Democratic
State Convention, we recognise some of the ee>
ments which we have opposed. and which
no questions of policy will prompt TO uphold,
except under protest. The continued and unnec-
essary shifting of scenes upon the political stage,
is calculated 10 confuse only the audience but
the actors in the drama, and if there be nconss-
tency charged upon one member of the press for
sacrificing cherished principle to preserve oth>
ers equally important it is satisfaction TO
know that it is charge which will apply to all,
whatever may be their political creed.
Our opinions have been so often expressed up-
the subject matter of the resolutions. that it is
not necessary to particuarise I e individual mum
bers to which refer nor do we deem it practi>

PRIaTING.

Printing is a glorious art. It is the
sun OF the moral world. What would
have been our condition without books or
newspapers ? The Almighty was prin-
ter from the beginning. Look up at
night and read the blazing editorials in
the huge sheet spread over the skies.
You may read and read again, and still
learn new thoughts, brilliant ideas. Burn
ing stars are types which have been read.
and instructed all people and kindred
from the birIh ofcxistence TO the present
hour.
Ths earth. too. is printed all over. Who
cannot read the language of the noun
tains, the ocasns, the trees and beautiful
flowers? The pen of the Almighty is
traced on them. Is not printing g!ori,
Gus art What art can boast OF greater
antiquity ? Who wouldn't be a printer,
or an editor, and thus be a working man
with God. in interesting, elevating and
regenerating the human family?
Yes. friend. it is beautiful. antique
and glorious cause, one in which none
should be ashamed to enlist one which
should be encouraged, sustained and rev
erenced by all. 1t is cause in which
some of the greatest and most talented
of our forefathers and patriots have la,
bored. They, the instrumentality of this
great and noble art, the ait preservative
of all arts, have been enabled to hand
down to Us traces of their bold, untiring
aud successful efforts to free us from the
bonds oftyrannY, aud serve as beacous tc

Which is SO quickly gone that We
Account it but a dream.
'Tis but single earnest throb
OfTimc's old iron heart,
Which tireless now, and strong as whom
1t first with life did start.
What is u year! 'Tis but turn
Of Times old brazen wheel;
Or but page upon the book
Which Time must shortly seal.
lis but step upon the road
Which we must travel DER,
A few more steps and we shall walk
Lifc'S weary road no more.
What is q year9 'Tis but breath
From Times old nostrils blown,
As rushing onward o'cr the earth,
We hear his weary moan.
'Tis like the bubble DER the wave,
Or dew upon the lawn
AS transient as tho mist ofmorn
Beneath the summers sun.
What is aycarf 'Tis but typo
OF Life's oft changing scene,
Youths happy morn comes gaily on
With hills and valleys groom;
Next Summers prime succeeds the Sprinn
Then Autumn with q tear,
Then comes old Wintcr-death, and all
Must find levol hare.
