The following short paragraph explains
much:
The Charleston Mercury declares, that
"the evils Of pardoning und supporting
Douglass" will be the absolute destruction
Of the Democratic party, inasmuch as the
party which sis now weak at the North will
be divided and repudiated at the South, and
between the sections, fall hopelsssly to the

The Meeting ON Tn arsAAy Might.

The Meeting ON Tn arsAAy Night.
Our citizens turned out en- ,nasse, without
distinction Of party, Thursday night, to hear
the speakers announced for the OCCASION
Senator Harlan opened in very powerful
and effective speech Of some two hours in
length, in which he set forth in clear and
straightforward manner his views and posi-
tions on the principal topics involved in the
present canvass. The contrast which be
drew between the expenses Of the D emocratit
National Administration and the Republican
State Administration was especially striking
and overwhelming in its effects upon the
Democratic leaders there assembled.
Senator Harlan was followed by Mr.. Marsh,
the Republican candidate for District Attor.
ney, who made few remarks to the voters
present, and declined entering into the dis.
cussion Of political matters.
Mr.. Marsh was followed by Capt. Prentiss,
Of Quincy, who announced himself as Meth.
or a professional gentleman nor stump
speaker, bat mechanic, or as the Demo Gratis
OF the present day would phrase it, one Of the
"mud-sills Of society. Capt. Pren,iss'
speech was spirited and telling throughout,
and his concluding appeal to Hepry Clay
Wings brought down the crowd in ,umults Of
cheering and applause.
Upon the adjournment Of the Republican
meeting, the crowd called the names of sew
eral Democrats, and Judge CSagett was fool
enough to respond as usual. He entered into
history Of his sacrifices, labors, sunerings,
and prospective martyrdom, during the course
Of which he pitched into our young friend
McCrary with q malignant TRADE Of false.
hood and abuse.
McCrary followed the Judge, demonstra-
ted the falsehood of his charges, and SO
brought home to the apprehension of the
crowd the mean and Infamous course pur.
sued by Clsgett in using his judicial position
to wreak his private spleen against young
member Of the bar that almost every voice il
the vast assembly rose in indignant condem
nation Of Clagett, and in hearty cheers 70,
McCrary.
1t was great meeting, take it all in all
and while it effeetually sealed Clagett's de
feat told powerfully in favor Of the entir,
Republican ticket in the State.

preston Of opinion from that eminent gen.
tlenan within the past twenty -four hours, !
cannot state with any certainty. But suppo-
sing that he will have consistency enough to
then oppose what be now denounces, his
freeport speech distinctly announces that be
will then be found side by side with Seward
and Hale in their warfare upon the Admins
tration and the party.
There lie not National Democrat in the
Union in the view Of this result who can ad-
vocate the reelection Of this tumultuous and
discordant Senator.
Mr.. Douglas, in his great speech in the
Senate upon DR.. Lieb, in his mastery effort
upon mail agent, during which swan
pushed Senate trembled as it praised" says
that he intends to hold the Administration
and its friends, the National Democrats, re-
sponsible. can scarcely believe it possible
that Mr.. Douglas really intends to carry out
this fearful threat. Since the days Of the
| Inquisition am sure there could be no more
circulating fate than to be held "responsi-
BILE" by the indignant Judge. What the pre-
else nature Of this mysterious punishment
will be- whether he will "bring US to our
milk" or "trot US down to Egypt" or "chop
OF our ears" it is impossible to determine at
this early date, but that some such cruel end
is reserved for US no one can doubt. Great
laughter.1
CorwIn and Gov. Chase on Repub-
ltcanism.
Gov. Chase and Mr.. Corwin occupied the
same stand at Columbus the other day, and
both addressed the Republican Convention
on that occasion. Mr.. Corwin made one his Of
old fashioned, inimitable speeches. He said
he had been driven into the Republican ranks
~ matter Of conscience, and that there
was not an article in the Republican plat
form he could not endorse.
After Corwin had closed, Gov. Chase was
called out, and we End his speech reported in
the o. s. Journal, from which we extract
a. follows:

The scotch IRON Contract.

We have already commented upon the con-
duct Of the Administration in awarding u
heavy contract for iron pipe, to be used in
supplying Washington City with water. 1t
was given to party favorite, at much more
than the minimum price for which practical
mechanics proposed TO furnish it. This job
Vas given by the contractor to Glasgow
manufacturer, despite IN assurance that the
appropriation for this purpose should supply
employment to lsborers in this country. The
successful bidder in this case was Owen
Jones, . Lscompton member from Pennsyl
vsnia, who needed the heavy profits thus
msds e direct bonus, paid out Of the United
States Treasury, over and above what respon-
sible parties offered to take the contract for)
to aid in his reelection. But Jones has
oyerdone the business.
The Scotch manufacturers are basy in full
filing their sub. contract, while all the large
foundries of Pennsylvania, New York, and
New Jersey, which were able to fill the con-
tract, were refused the work, and in conse-
quence OF this award, orders to the amount
OF 5000 tons OF iron have been countermand-
ed to furnaces on the Lehigh. Mr.. Jones is
before lis constituents endeavoring to explain
his conduct. He has narrowly escaped lynch
ing at several places in his district Gin
Gag.

in the Senate, that the place Of Minister to
Spain wac held in reserve for him. Indeed
it was understood before the vote was cast
that Jones was to have the mission to Spain

The Power of Music.

Some years ago tall, guant, knock
kneed, red-headed, cross-eyed lumix of
Hoosler: who was hunter of classic
Wabash, conceived the idea of making
visit to the home of his progenitors in
old Kaintuck. He did so-ra nted round
among the girls some, and was, ofco1irse
from his native impudence, and unearth
y ugliness, the observed of all obser-
vers. One morning the whole neigh
borhood was astonished with the news
that the ugly Hoosier had eloped with
Mrs. B., an amiable, good looking wo.
man, wife of Mr.. B., and mother of half
adozen little B's. For two long years
the disconsolate husband mourned over
his untoward bereavement; at the end
of that period, however, to his utter as
tonishment one day, in popped Mrs B.,
looking as bright and rosy as ever At
ter the first joyful greeting was over, the
injured B. thus addressed his truant
spouse:
"Nancy, hew could you take up with
that thar onairthly ugly Hoosier, and
leave me and the children all foriern, as
you did?"
"Well, Josh" said Nancy, "that THAR
ugly critter from Indianny was a leetle
the best whistler l ever heard used to

never heard whistlin' as is whistlin'. un-

on that account. A short time ago, how
ever, he ketched the measles, and they
split his whistlin' forevcr-the charm
was broken, and so [ concluded to come
back to you; but oh! Josh! that Hoosier
was the awfulcst whistler that ever puck

Hints TO Pnrenfs.

Anticipate and prevent fretfulness
and ill-temper, by keeping the child in
good health, ease and comfort Never
quiet with giving to eat or by bribing
In any way, still less by opiates
For the first few months avoid loud
and harsh sounds in the hearing OF
children, or violent lights in their sight;
address them in soft notes, do nothing
to frighten them, and never jerk oil
roughly handle them. H-
Avoid angry words and violence both
to child and in its presence; by which
means a naturally violent child may be
trained to gentlcness.
Moderate any propensity of child
such as anger, violence, greediness fol
food, cunning; ETC., which appears toe
active. Show him no example of these
Let the mother be, and let her select
servants such as she wishes the child to
be. The youngest child is effected by
the conduct of those in whose arms he
lives
Let mother feel as she ought, and
she will look as she feels Much of a
childs earliest moral training is by looks
and gestures. ..

authority, always with perfect temper,
composure, and sclfpossession.
Never give child that which it cries
for; and avoid being too ready in an
swering childrcn's demands, else they
become impatient of refusal, and sci
fish.
Never promise to give when the child
leaves off crying. Let the crying be
the reason for not giving ..-.

In little fairy valley,
Where the oak and maple twine,
Where silver streamlet wanders,
Is this pretty home of mine.
Where the wild fiowr's bloom the sweets
And the robins love to como,
And the brightest sun beams linger,
Is my little cottage home.
have heard of fairer countries
And of skies that brighter seem,
Where the flowers are ever blooming
And the trees are ever green.
And of cities with their splendor,
Far beyond the oceans foam,
Yet am well contentcd,
With my pretty cottage home.
To be sure no terraccd gardens
Are around my simple cot,
No choice exotics, yet as sweet
Fhe wild for get me MT;
No peak except the forest,
Where the red deer loves to roam,
Yet Nature seems to bless me
In my quiet cottage home.
Some boast of fame and glory,
And others sordid wealth,
Yet care not for their glitter
With the blessed boon of health.
The king may claim bIs palace
And the titled lord his dome,
They know net the enjoyment
Ofa simple cottage home.
