Republican Party.

A chief element of satisfaction in con
templating the results Of the recent cleo
tons Is the evidence they furnish Of the
steady progress ofthe republican party
These successes are not spaSmodic, but
the results ola natural and steady growth.
When the wing and democratic parties
divided tie country, mt occasional inter-
walls democratic state was carried by the
wings, on the strength of some local
question or by the force Of some great
excitement. But tho succeeding election
was pretty sure to restore the democrats
to their ascendancy. The republican
party, started with a fixed i len and n
consistent national conviction, and has
made steady gains of town after town,
county after county, and state after state,
until its aseondancy is thoroughly estab-
lished in nearly all the free states. Its
growth has not been the result of sudden
excitement or temporary enthusiasm. but
Of rational conviction among the people
Of til, soundness Of It's principles and the
necessity ofits organization. Thus has it
conquered one democratic state after an
other, and what it takes it holds. New
Hampshire and Maine are new as fixedly
republican as they once were democrat
ic.
There is not single free state in which
the tide does not set in this direction
There is not one in which the republicans
are not gaining and the democrats loseing.
Nowhere is there any progress in the
opposite direction. Minnesota is our
latest conquest. Kansas will soon como
into the Union rs n republican state
Surely these facts are significant, and
those who have tfattered themselves that
the republican party is the creature of a
temporary excitement must begin by this
time to distrust the soundness of their
Judgment. There never has been party
in this country that made more sure and
steady progress, or that had in it such
elements of permanence. 1t needs no
prophetic vision to affirm with certainty
its triumph.-Spri"gfe'd (Nass.) Re
publican.

Who taught Jos,u Brown.

The Herald SAYS it was Mr.. Seward ;
Wendell Phillips, that il was the Aboll
tionsts; but Virginia las better right to
the di tinction than either. If any one
doubts this, let him look at the seal OF the
Old Dominion. We have before ia an
impression of this seal, countersigned by
Henry A. Wise himself aud by the
Secretary Of tbs Commonwealth, George
w. Munford. Thousands of such impress
sions have been scattered through Virgin
ia bv Gov. Wise, to touch their lessons
to shareholders and slaves. What is the
device! An insurgent slave, his liberty
cap Haunting in tho air, his left hand
grasping pike, his right brandIsting a
sword over tho PROSTATE master whom he
tramples under foot. What is the mot
to? ",Sic semper tyrannis," which, free
" translated. means $50 perish every
.islaveholder,", or moro freely, "Hurrah
for John Brown though the popular
Virginia translation is, "Rcsstance to
tvrants is obedience to God" The re-
lieous tone of this would suit the stern
old Puritan Of Harper's Ferry. His
Massachusetts admirers who propose to
erect monument to his memory may
perhaps find model in the seal which
Gov. Wise will affix to the warrant for
his execution. That seal is the solemn
official affirmation by the great State of
the insurrectionary right OF the enslarcd;
it is deliberate, time-hallowed approval
of John Browns appeal to force in be
half of the oppressed. Henry A. Wise
has John Brown in his power; the cham
pion of the slavehoIding class will put to
death the champion of the slave. So ho
said to the veteran who lay upon the
stone floor, his blool flowing from many
wounds. Bat we protest, in the name Of
truth and honesty, against the Cover
ners afiixing the discretionary seal Of
Virginia to the official order for the exc
cution Of an insurgent. Let us have no
hypocrisy. Virginia has reached n crisis
in her history. Size should 90 where she
belongs-amonr the oppressors Of the
human race-and have the honesty to
admit her position. She should break
her present seal and adopt another more
true to fact. The new one should repre-
sent in the foreground slave driver,
whipping his drove to the field; in the
back ground, Gov. Wise hanging John
Brown; and the motto should be death
to all champions Of equal liberty" This
is really what the Governor holds to-
Has he the manliness to act out his prin-
ciples! Or will he continue scattering
broadcast his insurrecticnary imprints
and hanging those who believe their
bloody lessons ~ I. Tribune.

AN ANEcDoTE relative to the late Pre-
fessor Wilson, is just now circulating
Whom the suitcr for the hand of PROBES
sor Wilson's daughter had gained the
lady's appreciation, he was, Of course, re,
ferred to papa. Having stated his, prob
ably, not unexpected case the young
gentleman was directed to desire the lady
to come to her father, and doul tless her
obedience was prompt. Professor Will
son had before him a review, some work,

AN Efficient WoRKER.-The de-
mocracy of the State, unfortunate enough
to be in the tract of Pump Carpenter in
his o!ectioneeriug tour, are marked very
much as the tender leaves of spring are
marked when killing frost passes over
them; or n dry prairie, where the fire pass
es through it. He came and spoke and
went, and the democracy curled up I'M
der his efforts like cabbage plant in the
hot sun, beyond any reviying influence
Two years ago he supported our side, and
we were defeated. This year he has done
n like good turn for our enemies. Nav
they long be blessed with his labors.-

THE Rev. James Freeman Clarke,
Pastor Of the Church of the Disciples in
Boston, and Secretary of the American
Unitarian Association, preached on tho
Harper's Ferry Invasion last sunday
His texts KEY to what he said: "Her-
cd feared John, knowing him to be o
just man." H thought the tragedy ut
Harper's Ferry freighted with conse-
quences. 1t was like the clock, striking
the fatal hour tt hour of the beginning
of new era in the conflict of Slavery
Such men as John Brown die, bnt their
acts live forever. Call it fanaticisn, folly
madness, wickcdness-it rises before you
stiff with its calm, marble, features, more
terrible in defeat and death than in life
and victory-the awful lineaments of
conscience. 1t is one of those acts of
madness which History cherishes and
Poetry loves forever to adorn with her
choicest wreath of laurel.

LOVE ME last.

Friend, whose smile has come TO be
Very precious unto me
Though I know drank not first
OF your loves bright fountain burst,
Yet grieve not for the past,
SO You only love me last |
Other souls may find their JOY
In the blind love of a boy
Give me that which years have tried,
Disciplined and purified
Such as, braying storm and blast.
You will bring to me at last
There ore brows more fair than mine
Eyes gilmore bewitching shine
Other hearts more fit, in truth,
For the passion of your youth
Bnt their transient empire past,
You viii surely love me last
Wing away your summer time
Find love in every cline
Roam in liberty and light,
I-shall never stay your flight;
For know when all is past,
You will come to me at last
Change and flutter, as you will,
shall smile securely STILL
Patiently / trust and wait,
Though you tarry long and late;
Prize your spring till it be past, p.
Only, only love ne last

WoMAN.-God made woman to be
better than man. A man was made
stronger toward the earth than woman
and woman was made stronger toward
the heaven than man. Man therefore,
is for physical strength, for enterprise, for
worldly arrangements, for the power of
construction, accumulation and organiza-
ton. Woman was ordained 10 lift up
her hcart-tho prophet Of heaven in the
human soul-toward God, with higher
thoughts and puter feelings; and always
to aspire and look to something better
Therefore when woman is welded to q
man, and walks in darkness by his side,
she has left her peculiar duty undevelop-
ed. For if there be but one Christian
in household that should be the wife !;
both because she is, in the sweet despo-
tism of love, the master. and because she
is, in the ordinance Of God, the mother,
and bas in her hand the key TINT opens
the golden gate Of life, and to her is COM
mittcd the generation yet to come. CT
which she is p: o ohet and teacher. Woe,
woe, is her who is wife and q mother,
and not Christian II II. Bcecfer.

WOMAN, in all history, says Michelet,
is the mortal enemy of polygamy. She
wishes for the love of one only, but it
must be real love-pn eager, restless pass
ion, which, like fame, burns on and
must burn on. She never pardons the
chosen possessor who examines SO little
into the value Of his treasure rs to stu
pidly think, the day after tho w,lding
that he has no more to discover.
