Whenever before in the history oI
the Democracy, was the party re-
dnced to the extremity Of compelling
its adherents to run to and fro, up
and down the earth, in order to find
some one to aid them in their "ior-
lorn hope4' In one section, they
implore tho aid Of the Know Moth
ings; in another, that OF the Breck-
inriige men. Indeed, they have ho
expectation OF elccting Douglas by
tho people. Tho most they hope
for, is, TO throw the election into the
House, and then by some dickering
and trading some corrupt bargain
and sale, to secure some political
advantage. Every candid person
will admit that Lincoln is tho only
one that stands any chance OF beng
electc by tho people. Instead o

One of the very worst measures of common
the Homestead bill of the last session. It
was denounced by nearly ever southern
member of both Houses, as a vile scheme Of
corruption, md Black Republican plot Tor
aboltioni2Ing nil the remaining territory Of
the Union. And yet General Lane, the
candidate Of the seceders Tor the Vice Pre-.
sidency, united with Hale, Sumner, and
the abolition crew generally, to put this in
liniquitous measure through the Senate; after
ut was vetoed by President Buchanan ior its
utter prohlgacy, Gen. Lane was again ionnd
aiding and abettIng with the same worthless,
to pass il into n law IN spite of the refusal
OF the President.
These are facts of record, which nobody
will deny, and now We ask, why sleeps the
thunderS OF that party who have taken the
South under their peculiar guardianship IN
this Presidential canvaSsl Why are they
silent on the subject OF this abominable vote
IN favor Of n bin which every press of the
South denounced without stint or mercyi
Unfortunately their candidate happens to be
under the load OF hay, and they prudently
say nothing about 1t. Will any of them
publish the fact and dare to vindcate the
yotel We shall see.'
If our landlcss voters wish to see
a thorough Homestead bill pass
Congress, they must aid in putting
Republicans in power. They will
attain it in no other way. Will they
support the Republican cause, aud
thus bring about such a reform!

GERMAN Pass IN IxpIAxA.-The n. Y. Iri.

GERMAN Pass IN INDiANA.-The \. 1. IN
bune gathers the following facts in regard 70 the
German press of Indiana from the Indianapolis
State Journal. In 1889 there was but one Ter
man Republican paper in the State, the fre'e
Press of Indianapolis. To-day We enumerate
the following: the TolksbOse at Evansville was
or rather, Douglas, until after the
nomination of Lincoln and Hamlin. II now sup
ports the Republican National and State nomin'
ees and will do good service in redeeming the
LIST Congressional District from the domination
of the Slavery loving Democracy. The Stats
Zsitung at Fort Wayne, heretofore strongly
Democratic, has taken sides with the Republ-
cans. The Indiana Post, at Lafayette, hitherto
neutral, has deemed it the duty of patriotism to
take decided stand in favor OF Republican prin-
ciples, and filings TO the breeze the flag OF Lin
coin and Hamlin, Lane and Morton. To this
may be added the Zsitu'.g, at Terre Haute, the
Freie Biattes at La Porte, and new paper soon
to be established at Richmond. In 1856 the
Republicans had but one German paper in the
State, the Democracy had six. Now the table.
are turned The Republicans have six and the
Democracy only one.

The PRINCE OF WALEs.-The eldest son Of
Queen Victoria, and heir apparent to the throne
of Great Britain, is about to visit the States.
He haa been invited to New York, Boston, De-
troit, and other cities. The n. Y. Tribune says
that it is settled that the Prince of Wales wlvisit
New York, and that deaf to the siren blandish-
ments of the City Hall, he Win sedulously avoid
all public forms of reception. The letter of
Lord John Russell, not in all respects master
piece of pellucid rhetoric, Is at least distinct on
one point-that "his Royal Highness viii, on
leaving the British SOIL lay aside all royal state,
and exchange his title for that of Lord Renfrew.'
In this matter, it would appear, the Prince is
moved by thoughtfulness for the Councilburden'
ed public of New.York, as well as by consider.
alton of his own comfort; Tor he not only
trusts to be enabled as private gentleman to
en- ploy the small amount OF time at his disposal
but he is also determined to dispense with any
ceremony which might be inconvenient to the
communities which he hopes to visit"

LETTER OF Mr. BRECKINRIDGE.-The \. l..
Tribune prints the letter of Mr.. Breckenridge,
and says: 1t is the longest document OF the sort
which this fruitful year has produced, Abraham
Lincoln's being the shortest. Its great point is,
Of course, the perfectly identical character OF
slave property and Of all other property, and the
absolute and indeleasible right of any STAKEHOLDER
to establish Slavery in any Territory of the Uni
ted States Mr.. Breckenridge hopes, however,
that the canvass will not be conducted with ram
cor. In this he is likely to be gratiiied. The
probability of the election of Lincoln is now SC
great that there is no occasion for much bitter
ness in the contest. The signs Of the times in
dcate that the Republican President will be in
augurated, as it were, by universal consent, am
an era of good feeling.

weeks. Mr.. Gooeyear was born in New.Haven
Dec. 20, 1900. The disease which terminated

TIE PHENIx BANK CAsK.-The Journal, with
its customary instincts, is growing over the ina

case. 1t rejoices because the last locofoco Board

The facts are these: The Chief Justice, BOs-

merits in favor Of the State. Two new Judges,

ular meeting Of the Owosso Wide-Awakes:
"Resolred, That the statement in the Detroit
Free Press of this date, copied from an obscure
sheet Of this vicinity to the effect that the Broth.
ers Chapman have hauled into line for Douglas

only worthy of the despicable party that seeks to
carry on the present campaign by system OF
false Boosting and Dragging that is excelled only
by the pestiierOus doctrine it seeks to establish.
Mr.. Castle is a warm Lincoln man, ana Mr..

UPPER LAKE PROsPECTs.-From the Lake SUI
perior Journal, published at Marquette, that
never was there a fairer prospect of heavy crops
and high prices, than at the present time. In
deed, the wool crop is already harvested, and is
going off at higher rates than have ruled for
years. The wheat crop is now past all contin-
gency of failure, and is perhaps the heaviest crop
ever harvested in this country. The prospect
as to price is fair. The coarse grains and the
root crops promise to be equally abundant; and
the hay crop is reported good. Altogether, the
more ilattering. Whether this turn in the affairs
of the country is to turn our peoples heads,
and drive them crazy as usual, remains TO be
seen.

You may think We have no Bell and Everett
men in this part of the country. l assure you
We have, and are ready to do anything that is
honorable to effect his election. This county
will be represented at Utica The UIion men
of this county are Bell first, Douglas next-very
few for Lincoln; any body but him is the talk.
The n. Y. Tribune says: "This County is
Wayne, and, as the writer says nothing OF its
aggregate vote for President, We will supply the
deficiency: Wayne will give Lincoln just about
5000 votes, and divide just about 5000 among
his three competitors. They may parcel then
out to suit themselves.

THE DUKE or WELLlNGToN.-Rey. Mr.. Sat-
Ter, an Episcopal clergyman OF Sarnia, told the
following anecdote at the Missionary meeting at
Port Huron:
A relative of the Duke, who had just taken
orders, wrote to the old veteran inquiring If he
really thought, from his knowledge OF the char
acter of the East Indians, that they would derive
any advantage from the preaching of the gospel,
at the same time expressing his willingness to
engage in the missionary work in India If the
Duke thought the field an encouraging one. The
iron-sided old warrior Immediately replied to his
youthful relative, "Tum TO Mark, 10: Is, read
your marching orders, and obey them"
