e Democratic Thunder

The Democracy have at last got some
thunder" The mountain is laboring, aud will
bring forth its accustomed mouse, unless there
be reaction and the mouse turn out to be a
genuine Democratic Border Ruffian. John
Brown in his foolish attempt at inSurrecuon,
has raised little cloud for Democracy which
it has been wishing for and trying TO get up,
for long time The machine is worked with
the usual vigor-show of principle and truth
fulness-that characterize the work OF the
:" old fellow who tends the Democratic en-
gine. But with all the Snorting, pufhns, blow
ing and usual Democratic Scare-crowing and
Union saving of his aorea footed majesty, is
no SO The cloud is too small to get much
thunder out of-with all the steam let on.-
The ahcmpi reminds me of an anecdote Of an
old fellow, whose great forte in summer time,
was to have thunder-shower come up, so he
could not work at hay, and thus get play
spell. He was therefore intent on watching
every thunder cIond that came up, as much as
the Democracy of the present day, are intent
in watching every little abolition Speck that
appears within the horizon Of Slavery. One
day the old fellow came ont from his dinner,
and heard a slight rumbling sound ike thun-
der, went round the corner of the house, look
ed up at the sky, discovered but small cloud,
aud broke out in the following manner; "Waal,
if I couldn't thunder ont Of bigger cloud
than that, wouldn't thunder at all There
is about as much sense in that, as in the at
tempt of the Democratic party to make poIiti-
cal capital out Of the recent affair | Harper'S
Ferry. With all of the handling Of Browns
papers they fail to implicate, in truth, any
Republican, in the attempted iusurrection.-
The fact that the Republican party have al
ways taken decided grounds against any posi-
tive interference with slavery in the States
where il exists by local law, ought to satisfy
every honest man as TO their real position
There is. however, moral in the affairs AZ
Harper's Ferry, the Democratic party might
well profit by. Ii Slavery be 50 dangerous a

Heap high the farmers wintry hoard!
Heap high the golden corn
No richer giit has Autumn poured
From out her lavish horn.
Let other lands exulting CLEAN
The apple from the pine,
The orange from the glossy green,
The cluster from the vine -
We better love the hardy gift
Our rugged wales bestow;
To cheer us when the storm shall driH
Our harvest fields with snow.
When spring-time came with flower and bud,
And grassy grSeR, and young
And merry bOb1inks, in the wood,
Like mad musicians sung,
We dropped the seed DER hill and plain
Beneath the sun of May.
And frightened from our sprouting grain
The robber crows away.
All through the long bright days Of June,
It's leaves grew thin and fair,
And waves in hot mid-summer's noon
Its soft and yellow hair.
And now, when Autumn's moonlit ewes,
Its harvest time has come,
We pluck away the frosted leaves,
And bear the treasures home.
There, richer than the tabled gift
or golden showers Of old,
Fair hands the broken grain shall silt,
And knead its meal of gold.
Let vapid idlers loll in silk
Around their costly board
Give US the bowl Of mush and milk,
BY homespun beauty poured.
Where'er the wide old kitchen hearth
Sends up its smoky curls,
Who viii not thank the kindly earth,
And bless our cUrn-fed girls.
Let earth withhold her gOodly root,
Let mildew blight the rye,
Give to the worm the orchards fruit,
The wheat field to the fly.
But let the good old crop adorn
The hills our fathers trod:
Still let Us for His golden corn
Send up our thanks to God!

NAPOLEON RECoNNoITERING. - A letter
from Valenza, of the 18th, in the Saint Public,
of Lyons, says
81 was yesterday at cafe with the officers
of the 30th at the gate of the Albergo, when
a loud cry of 'Vive PEmpereurp arose. 1t
was the Emperor who had arrived unexpect-
eddy on horseback, in generals uniform, with
KEPT, and escorted by only few officers. In
a few moments the whole population was on
foot, the streets were decked with flags, and
drums were beaten to collect the troops. His
Majesty proceeded slowly by the street which
leads to an eminence from which the naked
eye can see the vast plains of the Pc and the
Lomellina. The position being within reach
of cannon, was not without danger /
had the honor of approaching the En-
peror, who, bending down on his horses
neck asked me if l were French. l
replied that was a journalist who had ven
tured to the advanced posts. He smiled, and
Questioned me on the positions of Austrians.
showed him attachments of their troops on
the banks of the river, the village Frescharo-
10, ana IN the horizon, Mortara, their head
quarters. Lis Majesty, by means Of his glass,
could see an Austrian soldier on the watch in
the beltry of the church of Frescharolo, and
even distinguish the hour by the clock. On
the left is the railway bridge, of which the
enemy has blown up two arches and which he
guards with 200 or 800 men. The shalos of
sentinels on the banks of the river could be dis
tinguished here and there. The Emperor then
conversed with some Of the Italians he speaks
pure Tuscan, and with facility which sur
prised his hearers. After an inspection, which
lasted about twenty minutes, the Emperor
turned to leave AS he did so, the troops,
who were drawn up in a line, waved their
shakos on their bay onets, and cried outa thou
sand times give PEmperour !" An old
Italian patriot, who had been in exile since
1S49 approached and cried out, with tears
streaming down his face, "Viva Napoleone, il

Salvatore della Italia % The Emperor seemed
affected, and saluted him kindly. AT that
moment the Emperor's eye met mine, and in
the emotion of the moment ventured to hold
out my hand. His Majesty deigned, with
smile, to grasp it. That is an incident which
l shall never forget as long as l live. The
Emperor then left by the gate of Alexandria"

A Review.

The Prescott Democrat deyotcs col
unrn- to review of the proceedings of the
County Board. Three fourths of this ar
ticle is devoted to o. Gibbs j.. We do
not see the necessity Of this. If the Board
devoted three fourths Of their time to Mr..
Gibbs, they did very unwise thing
But they did not, and if tie main object
of II paper is personal abuse, we com
mend the Democrat as model sheet.
In the same article, the Democrat SAYS ;
There are some men in this county
who took decided positions in regard to
high salaries Illegal bills, and big steals,
who will heartily wish themselves in son e
other pew before they get through with
rendering an account to the people for
their unprincip|ed do.ngs.
Among those illegal bills aad BIG
steals, ;" we suppose small bill we sent
in was reckoned. The j URNAL is not
an official paper. 1t has never been ia
vored with public printing and big steals
from the public treasury. But Inst fall
the sheriff gave us job of public print
ing. AT our usual advertising rates our
bill would have been about $50. Know
inc that economy was the rage, we sent in
the moderate bill Of $50, sglich eoas DIS
alloued q, full. For publishing one half
what we did, the Star WAS allowed $50
by St. Croix County.
Now it may be, that local papers are
of no advantage to the section of county
in which they are published. 1t may
be honorable for the County Board to
refuse to pay for work ordered by an
authorized officer 1t may be $50 is an
exorbitaut price tc ask the County, for
what would have cost a private individual
twice that sum. 1t may be we coutem-
plated a 'big steal" and in refusing to
pay us single cent the Board exhibited
n most commeudable economy. 1t may
be the tax payers of the county feel de-
lighted at the exhibition of such superior
financial skill
We shall not attempt to decide these
points. The Board may have regarded
that So as small thing; not SO with
u.s.. We had allotted on it. We thought
the county was good" We even felt a
complaeenco in the thought that we had
made so reasonable charge. We look
ed forward with interest to-the time when
the Board would meet, and fancy drew a
pleasing picture of our attenuated wallet,
swelling out into more plump and pie
thoric condition.

The Mnsicai Convention.

The Musical Convention at Hudson
parsed off in Il highly satisfactory manner,
and seems to have given new impulse
to the cause of music. Singers were
present from Hudson, LAX Gland, Alton,
Glenmont, Prescott, Saltwater, St. Paul
and River Falls to the number Of about
one hundred; and all ex pressed the ut
most qualification with the exercises.
The Convention closed on Friday eve
ming by public performance Of the Or
atorio of Esther, under the direction OF
Mr.. G. w. PRATT, of River Falls This
Oratorio is the c,mposition of w. B.
Bradbury, of N. Y, and consists N Solos,
Duets, Trios, Quartetts, Glees, Chants
and Chorusses, all of which were per-
formed with precision and accuracy
which we have seldom seen equalled. even
among old and experienced musical So
cieties in our large Eastern cities. Ii
was matter Of surprise to all present,
that so much could be accomplished in
the short space Of three days. Among
the solo performers, we may without APP
pear!ng iuvidious, make special mention
of Mrs. Partridge of Alton, who sustained
the part of Esther and Dr. Durham OF
St Paul, in the character Of Mordecai-
both of whom possess voices surprising
richness and beauty, combined with re
markable skill in execution. Alldidw Il
and when we pronounce the performance
a complete success, we feel assured that
we are but echoing the universal senti-
ment of all who heard it.

Filings.

The Prescott Democrat complains of us
because "we cut filings from two or three
shanghai papers, making sport OF, and
ridiculing our County board of Supervi-
sors, for their action in fixing tho salaries
of tie District Attorney and Clerk of the
County Board"
The facts, the Board made themselves
ridiculous, and we merely copied what a
few papers said withoutnote or comment.
The Democrat is forced to admit that the
''salary of the Dist. Attorney is altogether
disproportionate to the service required"
an admission which it did not think of
making when the salary was fixed.
