gentlemanly amiabe, popular and efficient
conductor, Captain Scott a few days since
stopped at one of the way stations to take
on couple newly married. Both were
young and both were verdant; having been
raised in the wilds Of western Virginia,
neither of them had ever been fifty miles
away from home. They had heard of rail-
ways, locomotives, steamboats, and hotels,
but had never experienced the comforts of
any of the afore mentioned institutions.
Jeerns and Lie had determined on this,
the most important event of their lives, to
visit the city and see the world, particu-
larlY that portion of it known as Patkers-
burgh. No wonder they were amazed and
delighted when the locomotive. steaming
and snorting, with the train Of beautiful
crimson cars following in sight.

What has it Done.

Black Republican papers and black Re-
publican orators very often tell us what
their party was organized for, but when
we see that it fails to accomplish any Of
the purposes for which it was called into
existence, 1t becomes cur duty 10 examine
the records and see what it has done 1t
made many fair promises, but how many
of them has it fulfilled +?
In the name of humanity it has descra-
ted the house of God, turned the minister
of the Gospel into braw!ing lying politi-
clan. put deadly weapons into the hands Of
outlaws, and in the name of religion bid
them go and kill it has taken what
should have been given to the poor, to arm
put the cause of christianity to open
shame.
In the sacred name of Freedom" it
has set the laws of the country at defiance;
it has encouraged perjury and treason: it
has talked flippantly OF IA dissolution Of the
Union: it has one day held up its hands
with holy horror at the prospect Of mare
slave territory. and the very next day has
voted to extend slavery into the Terrific
tories; it has one day clamored loudly
against the Fugitive Slave law, and the
very next day voted to extend the law over
the Territory Of Kansas ; at the time of It's
organization it said ono more slave States"
and when 1t was scarcely two years old it
voted to admit Kansas as Slave State, it
professed to be in favor of Freedom, ="
and voted against admitting two Free
statss-Minnesota and Oregon; it has done
nothing for freedom and everything for
slavery; and yet in the face of all this, it
asks honest MEN for t!:eir support.
In the name of retrenchment and reform,
1t has been guilty Of corruption, bribery
and frands, such as will darken the pages
of the history Of the country; it has rob
bed counties and States, and beggared the
National Treasury; wherever it promised
reform it has tried to ruin
1t has not made a free State or free
Terrtory-it has not liberated 4 single
slave; it has not bettered the condition of
single slave--it has failed to restore the
Missouri compromise-it has failed to re
peal the Fugitive Slave Lawit has done
nothing it promised to do and has done
what it promised not to d. Instead Of
proving a blessing it has proved Gu Sc

u" These exquisite lines, How Sleep tn
'rtve," were writtenby COLLINS, in tic rear ia
oon after the battle ofCuloden:
How sleep the brave who sink to rest
BY all their cOuntry's wishes blest
When spring with dewy fingers cold.
Returns to seek their hallowcd mould,
She there shall dress in swccter sod,
Than fancy's feet have ever trod,
By fairy hands their knell is rung,
By FERNS unseen their dirge is sung;
Their Honor come, a pilgrim gray,
To bless the turf that wraps their clay,
And freedom shall while repair,
TO dwell a weeping hermit there.

Not a drop more 'thOut it's
SWccteMed.

We meet this tale on its rounds. We
are not sure we have not seen it before
But 1t will bear repetition, if it is old.
Twenty years ago, it WAS the custom in
northwestern Georgia, as indeed it was
throughout the southwest, for dry goods
dealers to keep barrel of spirits in the
back room. aud to treat liberal customers
to glass whenever desired.
Fillens and Dewberry were such dealers
in one of the small towns indicated; and
they had for a customer clever, rollicking
old fellow. named Joe Denny, who drank
whiskey in preference 10 water always,
and whose wife was flesh of his flesh in
that particular. The old couple would
come in town, trade quite freely. and as
freely imbibc the spirits in the back room
of the dealers We have named.
On one occasion both the old man and
old woman continued their potations inor-
dinately; and as Fillens observed that his
goods went better the drunker the old wo-
man became, he pressed her to drink.
At last she refused, unless he would
sweeten it with a little store sugar Fillens
indulgcd her, and when the clG people
started home in the evening late, the old
man could scarcely mount his horse, and
the good wife had actually to be lifted and
placed on the pilion behind him. Happi-
ly. she leaned one way and her husband the
other, so that the gravitating point was be-
tween them; as she clung to him instinct
lively, they passed ort of the village safely
Before reaching their home, however,
they had TO cross small creek, and when
their horse stepped in to drink, the old
lady. having reached unconsciousness, re
leased her hold, and quietly lapsed into the
stream below
Occupied with his thoughts the old man
did not perceive his loss. but logged slow
ly homeward. Arrived there, the children
inquired anxiously for NANNY but the
old man could only say that she had been
on the 'critter, and the critter hadn t kick
ed up nary time; so he couldn't say whore
she mout be- and threw himself stupid on
the bed
Girls and boys flew along the road the
old man had come, yelling nanny nam
my! but of course no nanny responded
When they arrived at tho creek, the old.
est girl shouted.
Wonder she is, sitting down in the
creek T
And there she was, seated comfortable
in the water, which came nearly up to her
mouth. AS she swayed back and forth,
now yielding to the impetuoslly of the
stream. and now resisting it with some
success, the muddy fluid would occasion
ally wet her lips. and each time it did so.
she would family exclaim, with a grim eff
fort to smile:
Not drop more, Mr.. Fillens, 'thout
it s sweetened'
And it is to this romantic little incident
in the life of the venerable Mrs. Joe Denny,
that We are indebted for one of our most
popular colloquial phrases.

1HiuiilHS WHY'S dSk hndl Is democracy
We will answer them in the eloquent lam
guage of Senator Allen Of Ohio, delivered
some time since in a speech TO the United
States senate. He said:
Democracy is sentiment not to be ap-
allied corrupted, or compromised 1t knows
no baseness, lowers to no danger. 1t Cp-
presses no weakness. Fearless, generous,
humane, it rebukes the arrogant, cherishes
honor, and sympathizes with the humble
1t asks nothing but what it demands-de-
structive only to despotism, it is the sole
conservative of liberty and property-it is
the sentiment of freedom-of equal rights
and of equal obligations. 1t is the law of
nature pervading the law of the land The
stupid. the base in spirit, the selfish, may
denounce it vulgar thing, but in the his
tory of our race the democratic principle
has developed and illustrated the highest
moral and intellectual attributes of our ma
ture. Yes, that is noble magnanmous,
sublime sentiment, which expands our af-
fections, enlarges the circle of our SYM
pathies, and elevates the soul of man until
claiming an equality with the best he re-
Jects as unworthy of his dignity any politi-
cal immunity over the humblest of his fol-
lowers
Every member of the democratic party
has reason to be proud of his connection
with it; this the party of the country, the
party of equal rights, the party which sus-
tains the purest code of political ethics that
the world has ever known, Thomas Jetfer-
son embodied its creed, and carried out
its fundamental doctrine--let scoffers read
them and furnish better and nobler:
The people the only source oflegitimate
power.
The Union. the confederacy, compact
neither Consolidation or Capitalization.
The Constitution of the United States a
special written grant Of power. limited and
definite.
The Civil paramount to the Military
power.
The representative to obey the instruc-
tions of his constituents
Elections free and suffrage universal
No hereditary office, no order or tlte
No taxation beyond public wants.
No costly splendor of Administration.
No prescription of opinion, nor ola pub
lie discussions.
No unnecessary interference with ndivid-
ual conduct.
No favored classes. and no monories.
No public monies expended. except by
warrant of special approprations-Peoria
