Aims of the Farmer.

The farmer, as a farmer, says the
Valley Farmer. should have aims pc
culiar to himself. As a man, he should
have the aims common 70 noble hu-
manity, to Be and live true and hon

true husband and father, a frank, man
~, high minded citizen. an earnest
friend and patron Of science, art, i'm
provement; sober, industrious, honest,
chiyalrous, genial in temper, torbcar-
ing and forgiying. But as farmer
he ought to have, beyond all Other
aims, those peculiar TO the profession
Of agriculture. Every professional
nan who succeeds in his profession
has his peculiar aims. 50 it should
lie with the farmer if he would sue

Linco!u's Negro Equality Doctrine.


In his speech at Charleston, Coles county,
Mr.. Lincoln slightly modifes Lis views, to
suit mi.Ler climate:
While | was up at the hotel to day, an
elderly gentleman called upon me to know
whether | vas really in favor Of producing
perfect equality between the negroes aud
the white people, while had not proposed
to myself upon this occasion to say much
upon that subject, as that question was
ssked me. thought would occupy, per-
haps five minute in saying something in re-
gard TO it.
will say then, that am not nor never
have been in favor Of bringing about in any
way, the social and political equality Of the
white and black races that am lot, nor
ever have been in favor of making voters of
the negroes, or jurors, or qualifying them
to hold Office, or having them TO marry with
white people. | will say in addition, that
there is a physical difference between the
white and black races, which, | suppose,
will forever forbid the two races living to-
gether upon terms Of social and political
equality, and inasn.uch as they cannot SO
live, that while thoy do remain together,
there must be the position of superior and
inferior, that |, as much as any other man,
am in favor Of the superior position being as
signed to tho white man. | say in this con-
nection, that do not perceive. however,
that because the White man is to have the su.
perior position, that it requires that the ne
gro should be denied everything. l do not
perceive that because | do not court a
negro woman for for a wife, that | must
necessarily want her for wife. My under
standing is that can just leave her alone.
am now in my fiftieth year, and certainly
never had black woman either for slave or
wife, so that it seems to me thatit is quite
possible for US to get along without making
either slaves or wives of negroes.
will add that have never seen, TO my
knowledge, a man, woman or child. that was
in favor Of producing . perfect equality, So.
cially and politically between the negro and
white man.

out Of these r.fned epithets, they are per-
fectly welcome to. We have no hard na mes
tc hurl back in response. We are sati fed
that the name Of Rtpu5'ican, if not already,
aoiA soon be, so odious and reproachful, that
not man will be found to own it. In
speaking, therefore, of the opponents ol the
Democratic party, We ash for no inore de-

democratic aud Republican parties. la
condenning the suicidal and uncalied FOR
policy and interference OF the Union in the
local politics Of Illinois, we expressed the
sentiments Of nine-;enths OF the democracy
OF ladana. In giving expression to these
views, We did no. lead, but only followed
the sentiment of the democracy in this
state Such is the "tone and temper Of
both her press and people"
We ask the Union anf its correspondent
if it regards Mcclure, Dodd, Cunningham,
Mcdonald, Rugg, Perkins, Dawson, Hanna,
Wcrden, candidates upon the Democratic
State ticket, and iblacS, Eng glisn, Holman.

policy of admitting Kansas without reisr-

Cavarly and Glover.

We notice in the Repu1lian, that Hon.
County Judge in horn,) A. w. Cavarly,
and his extraordinaryship, Mayor J. o. Go-
yer, are posted to address the faithful Of
South Ottawa and Farm Ridge, on Wednes-
day evening next. We understand Judge C)
Cavarlys objectin appearing upon the stump
on this occasion, is to return his sincere
thanks to his republican friends for so molly
standing by him, when he came within about
a thousand votes of beating J. c. Champlain
Tor County Judge. That's right. Mr.. c.
certainly owes the republican party great
deal OF gratitude for the compliment they
paid him for his services during the last
Presidential campaign.
There is but ono difficulty with, the Judges
oratory, and We deem it our duty TO state it
so that his auditors may know how to guard
against it. The Judges eloquence posses
an extraordinary degree Of magnetic infu.
ence, and should his audience come unpre-
pared to resist it, they would find them
selves so profoundly magnetized by the
time he got through, that all the antics, jes-
ticu'ations, and contortions Glover could
perform in two hours, could not arouse them
to sufficient wakefulness to enable them to
comprehend his, hairs splitting and excrution.
a.eingly profound logic Of his inflated ef-
forts
The meeting, therefore, should insist on
hearing Glover first, for two reasons:
1st. Glover carries such heavy load OF
wind, that whenever he opens his mouth to
speak in republican meeting, his speech
flies out like whirlwind, twisting and be.
wilderng the brains of hi. hearers, SO that
VIXEN he is done, they can hardly tell
whether they stand. on their heads or their
feet
%. Cavar'y following, will calm the tu-
mutt, restore the equilibrium Of the brain,
and gently luil them to sleep.
The only objection we can see to this ar
rangement is the difficulty Of adjourning
the meeting, for, we doubt whether after
CavarIy ge;s through his speech, there
would be enough awake to carry motion
10 adjourn.

COgsWell VS.. LOvcjoy.

On Tuesday Of last week, Mr.. Cogswell
made very able speech at Pontiac, in reply
to Parson Lovejoy, and he not only sustain.
ed himself admirably but gave the great re-
publican champion the severest drubbins
he has had in long time. In reply to Love-
joys boasts Of what mighty things he had
wrought while in Congress, Mr.. c. used him
up completely, and proved satisfactorily to
all present, that Mr., Lovejoy had no inau-
ence whatever in Congress even among the
republican members; that he was black
sheep in that august assembly, and denoun-
ced as man, SO ultra in principle that be
would trample under foot the laws. Of his
country, and was thereby unworthy the
support Of high minded, honorable men,. +
Lovejoy was very uneasy during the whole
time Cogswell was speaking, and his con-
slant rising to his feet, crossing his legs, &C.,
was very evident that he felt ike going out.
As Lovejoy is the acknowledged leader Of
republican stump speakers in this congress
sional district, what will the Shanghai's do
with him after he has allowed himself to be
so numerically used up by lo,r, greasy
mechanic. Mr.. Cogswell don't suit the Re-
publicaEs because he is not versed in yellow
covered literature, and the other indispensa-
BILE "dem foine" lighter accomplishments,
characteristic of Beau Brummel.
Mr.. Cogswell is self-educated man and
possessed of extraordinarylreasonins powers,
and at any time and upon any subject can
MAKE an entertaining and instructive speech.
The interests of La Sale, Livingston and
Grundy counties, demand the election OF
just such man to the State Legislature.
