Next Tuesday is Election Day. Our op-
pcnents are making unusual exertons, in
the hope, not of carrying the day, for that
they well know to be hopeless, but, Of poll
ing an increase on their former votes which,
joined to the decrease they hope to see in the
Republican vote, may give them ground to
claim that Republicaniam is waning in its
very citadel, and Democracy is yet to be in
the ascendant in Nermont,-a claim which
if it can be asserted with any show Of plau-
sibility viii be made to do service for the
party Of slavery, misrule and corruption
throughout the Union, and throughout the
Presidential Campaign. Their candidate
for Governor is stumping the State, and
a strong attempt is making TO secure him
votes on the score of personal popularity
which, if they shall be secured, will be cred
tied not to his personal popularity, If he has
any, but to the merits of the unrighteous
cause he supports. Republicans are asked to
vote for a steady supporter Of the Democra-

THE CROPS sc. IN VERMONT.

MONTPELIER, Aug. p.
Vermont will be able to report for herself
this fall. the production of nearly her usual
abundance. The hay crop IN some localities
was something less than the great one oflast
wear: but its slower growth this summer.
and the superior manner in which 1t was ey-
ervwhere secured, both circumstances tend
inc to give it a greater degree of nutrimnnt.
will. it is believed make it in the spending
eoual to the crop of any of the previous SEA
sons. The English grains have all come IN
unusually well. The wheat, wherever sown,
is good in quality and quantity. The oats
evervwbere are excellent. The corn crop,
which was sadly nipped by the great June
frosts, and which. at the end OF June, was
pronounced an almost entire failure, has
rallied so surprisingly in July and August.
that now half crop, at least, with the usu-
al exemptions of September frosts, may be
safely anticipated. The potato crop, owing
to the drvness of the last two months, will
not be great one in quantity, probably.
but better than for years in quality. The
tors are vet all green, and not a. breath Of
rot or rust has passed over them. Our FRUIT
crop. indeed, is the only failure we shall this
wear experience And that is really fail

from the frosts Of June was in the destruc-

Bolts AND THE AsHLANDERs.

Some time last year a squad ofsome twen-
ty or thirty men calling themselves ash
landers, called upon Senator Crittenden of
Kentucky; casually stopping at the St. Mich
olas Hotel in New York. They told him
that just as soon as the n. Y. City election
was over they were going to revive the old
wing party, and to "put it through" for the
salvation of the Nation. Would he be their
chief to lead them on to victory? Mr.. Crit
tenden in very polite way said in effect,
''No you don't, gentlemen, and bowed them
out of the room. That ended the Ash
landers'' national operations for that season.
But itseems some "Ashlanders, in Brook
Ign, n. Y, whether the same Identical ones
or "a few more Of the same sort, who hail
from that place. we do not know, have been
trying their hand on John Minor Bolts.
Their spokesman repeated the old formula
to him

this false and lettering Democracy. There are
old lins Wings, Republicans, Democrats and
Americans, here with tonight, and their minds
are agreed. Throwing aside old prejudies, we
have united to oppose the Administration, with

thy Of the cause, and allow me to say, on behalf
of my associates, that in you see him. will

Mr. Bolts, like Barkis, is willin','' if
the thing can be done. He admits that he
has done nothing worthy of his being placed
in such an elevated position. However, if
his country men should see fit to place him
in it, he has no doubt of his ability to make
it go; and he feels sure he could make an
improvement on the present style of manag-
ing the affairs of the nation, if he should
have a chance to try.
Just think of dozen or two men-mem-
bers of local political club making formal
adaddress of that sort to any one of the fifty
men who severally have been spoken of by
somebody as good to be run for the next pres
idency, and of his making solemn assent
to their propositions The thing, as the N

HINTS on THE PRESERVATION OF PIANO
roR1Es.-The New York Home Journal has
the following valuable hints on the sub

dust. pins. &c, on the sound board, and al

the Ill effects OF sudden changes of tempera-

fire in front of it, or what is worse, the hot
air from the furnaces in such general use &;
few pianos can resist the injurious action of
the latter Care should be taken TO prevent
moisture of any kind from getting between
the keys. particularly when cleaning them
as it will cause them to stick. Moths are
very destructive to pianos, and should be
kept out Of them by placing lump of cam
phor wrapped in paper to prevent evapora-
ton, in the inside corner.
Any hard substance placed upon a piano
will cause Earring noise, and if the top part
is unprotected by a cloth cover, that also will
often rattle. Young pianists would injure
the pianos less if they would refrain from
striking the KEYS with such force, light

tone. as if they exerted all the force at their
command. Were this fBct more generally
attended 70, fewer strings would be broken,
one cause of the piano not remaining in tune
would be removed, and less injury would re-
suit to the faction OF the piano. These va
riJus annoyances are often attributed to in
ferlor tuning or defective make, when neither
are the right cause
Few are aware of the benefit TO be derived
from having their pianos regularly tuned
and kept in order; every new piano should
be tuned at least once 4 month, and none
should be allowed to remain untuned over
three. When piano is half a note below
concert pitch, and it is i required to be
drawn up. it should be tuned twice, the second
tuning about a month after the first, or 1t
will not stand well in tune. Always employ
the same tuner, unless Of course, he proves
glaringly incompetent, but should his first
efforts fail TO give satisfaction, give him an
other trial, as he may not be in fault.
As each music store has one or more tun-
ers, it would save annoyance if, when the or
der is left, the name of the person required
bementioned and if the order were left two
or three DAYS before the tuner is actually
wanted, it would insure more prompt atten-
ton. Many act in this respect, as if there
were half a dozen tuners eagerly awaiting
the first order that came whereas a good
tuner always has as many orders as he can
well attend to. 1t would be well to remem-
Der that the tuning of piano consists only

From the Springfield Republican.

The South the South the South ms
is the unvarying cry with which our ears
have been stunned tor years past, ny tne
democratic politicians of the slave states. IL
is echoed and re-echoed in all their speeches.
II makes the principal figure in the resolu-
tiops passed at their conventions. Ii peppers
the columns of their newspapers. 1t takes
n disgusting prominence in their converse
tions. 1t is their test of all public measures
and policy. 1t governs them in the national
councils as we'll as the state councils. 1t Is
TO be the test of every democratic candidate
for the presidency at the next election. And
"a Missouri is about inaugurating new
course of policy, she is abused, not for being
false to her own interests, or false to the
country, but false to the South. No pains
are spared by the southern democrats to fan
this sectional flame.
No party at the North exhibits, or ever
did exhibit, such spectacle. No party
leader here ever ventured to appeal TO sec
tionalsm like this On the contrary we are
constantly cautioned against the exhibition
of a sectional spirit. The democratic leaders
and presses carry this to ludlcrous ex-
treme. They not only bear the lash from
their southern masters with becoming meek
ness. but they think no party is capable OF
governing this country except the party IN
which these sectionalists are dominant.
Now this cry does not mean the South ; 1t
means nothing but slavery The non slave
holders and their interests, it tramples under
foot. When did southern democracy ever
allow one of them to hold any political
mower? 1t even degrades them from social
positions. II cares not for their education
and when one Of them dares to exercise
freedom of speech, and express himself IN
relation to the institution which alone is
held to constitute the South, its sets upon
him with brute, inhuman violence, and
drives him away. It has used this weapon
| upon n venerable man who went to South
| Carolina to try question of law IN their
own courts. and the court was shut against
all hearing of the question. IL has invaded
| the halls of Congress, and on the floor of the
Senate exhibited its usual spirit. A great
many southerners are deceived by it but a
Great MANY more bow before it. Freedom OF
| speech would cost them their homes, and
| pcrhaps their lives 1t makes them slaves.
No matter who the democratic candidate
NAV be for the next presidency, this IS the
| spirit that is to rule the country if the demo-
! cratic candidate is elected. 1t is the men
who habit ALLY raise that cry, the South
| who rule the democratic party as vigorously

The next night. at another hotel, the same

to find fault and blow. The ferryman natur

that it was absolutely necessary to thrash

bank. over the sand, into the water they
fought, scratched, gouged, bit, and rolled,
