THE CLOUD LIFTED.


The black republicans have been max
ing q very industrious attempt to conceal
their own position as party toward
adopted citizens behind smoke of mis-.
representation which they have raised con-
corning the position Of the democracy.-
They succeeded very we'll for while, but
necessarily as the cloud lifts-as the va
por is dispelled which has been cast over
the democracy--they are beheld again in
their true proportions. The recent intel
ligence Of the discharge from the Hano-
verian army of an American adopted cit
izen who had repaired to his native coun-
try on business or pleasure, upon the de-
mand of our government, which demand
was based upon the inviolability of his
adopted citizenship, not only makes it
more notorious than ever what the real
democratic doctrine in that regard is, but
shows in the strongest possible aspect the
value Of the doctrine. 1t proves beyond
question, that this doctrine is something
more than mere theory. 1t is a practical,
tangible, reliable principle, sufficient for
any emergency to which it can apply
It's essence is that the adopted citizen pos
sesses the Same claims upon the govern
ment for protection as the native citizen
wherever he may go. 1t is in harmony
with that other democratic principle which
would make no distinction between adopt
ed and native citizens as regards political
privileges at home. In what singular
contrast is this democratic doctrine with
tho black republican doctrine which is now
in full force in Massachusetts,, expressed
in the following words, comprising the re-
cent famous amendment of the constitu-
ton of that State:
NO person Of foreign birth shall be
allowed to vote, nor shall be eligible to
office, unless he shall hare resided within
the jurisdiction of the State for tsco
gears subsequent TO has naturalization,
and shall be otherwise qualified according
to the constitution and laws of the Com
monwealth."
There it is, in black and white. 1t is
part and parcel of the supreme law of the
most intense black republican State of
the Union, made such by the action of
the black republican party, against the
protests and exertions of the democratic
party.
There is no longer need of any one be-
ing deceived-he who runs may discern
in passing the real attitude of the two
parties towards the rights of adopted cit
liens abroad and at home.

the soil. AS each species Of crop draws
from the soil the particular elements suit
ed to its growth and perfection, too long
continuance Of the same crop for success
i've seasons, deprives the soil of such ele-
ments, and failure of the crop is event
ually the result. Wheat, oats, rye and
barley, require the same kind of food for
their nourishment; hence, one should
rarely follow the other unless upon soils
rich in the proper elements for the growth
of such grains. The lecturer does not ia
vor the idea Of farmers selling off too
much of the product of the meadow and
field, but would advise them to keep rs
many cattle as can be we'll kept thereon,
that the same elements Of growth may
be returned to the soil in manures as are
taken from il, inasmuch as the manure of
cattle fed upon any sort of grain or vege-
table is best adapted to reproduction OF
the same kind Of grain or vegetable.

A SUBMARINE BoAr.-An experiment
at New Castle, Delaware, last week, dem
onstrated the possibility of sailing in a
boat undey a0ater. The boat was 35 feet
long, A inches in diameter, and propelled
by screw feet in diameter. Iron pad
dies like the fins of fish were used to
raise the boat, or lower it rs necessity
should require. In fact the whole craft
was like fish being made round, and
long, with eyes to let in light, and fins
and tail to navigate. The great difficulty
heretofore with submarine operators is to
get supply of air without much expense
and trouble. BY some mysterious process
air is manufactured in the boat so that
twelve men can get sufficient for their
use while remaining several hours under
the surface of the water.

New Republican Candidate for the Presi-
dency.

As it daily becomes more and more ap-
parent not only that there will be no split
IN the democratic party in the next Pres
ldentlal contest, but that man of sound
conservative views will be nominated, who
VIII be acceptable to the true friends of
the Union in the north, the Republicans
are becoming more and more uneasy
While the masses of that party in the
north are nearly unanimously for Seward,
the old heads in the party see that there
is no hope for any man they may run on pu-
rely Black Republican principles as preach
ed in the north So the leaders are engaged
In killing off Seward and looking up
more milk-and-water man. The Chicago
Press & Tribune set aside Seward by claim
ing the candidate from the Northwest
and would be satisfied with Judd or Bis
sell The Democrat, however, more daring
still, comes out boldly for Gen SAM HoUs-
TON! as the next republican candidate for
the Presidency!
Verify such a nomination would be a
brilliant and eminently fit and characters
tic republican corp dc main. Gen. Sam
Houston's political career would afford an
admirable exemplifcction of the consist
ency and sincerity Of republican profes-
sions In 1850 free-soiler, in 1851 an an
ti-Nebraska man. in 1856 Southern Know
Nothing, in 1877 and 1853 Lecompton
man, he now proclaims himself, since his
recent election, an out and out supporter
of the bred Scott decision and the meas
urcs of the present administration! Thus
could the republicans find in his speeches
and votes, texts and acts to satisfy every
quarter Of the Union, while their utter
restitution of any principle whatever
would be most happily borne out and il
Illustrated.

The sale of lands upon which the taxes

ought TO have come of or Monday last,
has been postponed because unavoidable
i'll consequence of the absence Of Judge
Champlin, before whom judgment must b.
obtained against the lots Judge c. had
gone South for his health, and knowing
the Importance of lis being here, started
for home, hut by series Of mishaps, arri-
we'd day or two too late. The eftc, of the
delay will be, only to give delinquents a
little further time TO pay up, and to put
upon Mr. Lewis the Co. Treasurer to the
expense Of re-advertising the delinquent

ry, but as there seemed TO be a doubt on
the subject, Mr.. L. preferred to incur the
extra expense rather than run the risk.

Douglas in Pennsylvania.

The anti-Douglas politicians were some
what startled and dumbfounded few
days ago by the Geographic announcement
that "Old Berks in Pennsylvania, had
instructed her delegates to the State Con
vention TO vote for sending delegation to
Charleston in favor Of STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS
Berls County, it will be recoliected, was
represented in the last Congress by J.
Clancy Jones, the sworn enemy of Douglas
and especial pet of Mr.. Buchanan. As
such he was nominated for reelection and
defeated but the regular organization of
the party had still endorsed him and the
President, and of all others this regular
organization was the last body from whom
instructions in favor of Douglas were an
. ticipated at their county convention.
This remarkable and most gratifying
action on the part OF the democracy OF
old Berils is only another proof Of what
has months ago been apprenticeship al
though the politicians and the press of
many Of the northern States scarcely lisp
the name OF Douglas, standing in such
awe of the present administration, yet the
or bride, are enthusiastically devoted to
him, and in their primary meetings and
conventions will soon give the admins
tration men abundantly more such shocks
As they have had in the case of old Berks.

STRANGE plscovEEIEs.-At Chiriqui in
New Granada, an interesting discovery has
been made. \ man passing by where a
tree had blown down which stood overan
ancient mound or grave accidentally saw
some gold exposed to view, which on ex-
animation proved to be images of small
size, weighing from two to six ounces each
This immediately led to general digging,
hyena-liile robbing the graves of the an
cients OF thfir treasures. Five days after
the discovery, $4,000 had been collected,
OF which $4,000 worth was found by one
man The images are of various sizes,
shapes and quality. They represent all
sorts and species OF animals, combining the
human form with parts of fish, birds, and
quadrupeds OF all species. Out of one
grave 500 was taken. The people in that
region are all in excitement, abandoning
their ordinary pursuits in anticipation OF
becoming suddenly rich The date of the
burial OF these images is unknown but it
is supposed to be many hundred years
