WHICH Is MosT PRo-SLAvERY ?-Stephen
A. Douglas went so far in advocating his
conspiracy bill for the suppression of free
speech and the Republican party, as to call
fourth a rebuke from Jefferson Davis. And
he claimed for his doctrine of squatter sover-
eighty that it had introduced and protected
slavery in New Mexico, and had opened to
slavery, or, rather, converted into slave ter
ritory, tract north of go so, more than
five times as large as New-York. And
then he and his followers try to get votes
at the north by pretending to be less pro-
slavery than the Breckenridge wing. They
claim it as great merit that they are in
different to the extension of slavery; or, as
Abraham Lincoln defines squatJer sover-
eighty; THAT, if any one man chooses to
enslave another, no third person shall be
llowed to object." -Hargord Press.

Let US adopt the policy cherished by Jack

Let US adopt the policy cherished by jack
son, and indicated in his annual message to
Congress in 1892, il which he says:
% 1t cannot be doubted that the speedy
settlement of the lands constitutes the true
interest of the Republic. The wealth and
strength of a country are its population,
and the best part of the population are the
cultivators of the soil. Independent farmers
are everywhere the bases of society, and
true friends of liberty"
4" To put an end forever to all partial and
interested legislation on this subject, aud to
afford to every American citizen of enter
prise the opportunity of securing an indie
pendent freehold, it seems to nc, therefore,
best TO abandon the idea of raising future
revenue out of the public lands" .... 80.
This advice by one of the country's no.
blest patriots, though UNDECIDED at the time, is
among the richest legacies be has bequeath
ed to his country.
Why should the Government hold the
public domain longer as a source of revenue
when it has already more than paid all costs
and expenses incurred in its acquisition and
management Even if the Government
had a right, based in the nature Of things,
thus to hold these lands, it would be adverse
to sound national policy to do so for the
real wealth of a country consists not in
the sums of money paid into is treasury,
but in its flocks, herds, and cultivated fields.
Nor does its real strength consist in fleets
aud armies, but in the bones and sinews of
an independent yeomary and the comfort of
its laboring classes. Its real glory consists
not in the splendid palace, lofty spire, or
towering dome but in the intelligence,
comfort, and happiness of the freside of it's
citizens.
" What constitutes a State
Not high-raised battlement or labored mound,
Thick wall Or moated gate
Not cities proud, with spires and turrets
crowned
Not bays and broad armed ports,
Where, laughing at the storm, rich nav les ride;
Not starred and spangled courts,
Where low-browod basenes5 watts perfume to
pride.
NJ men, hgh-minded men
Men, who their duties know,
But know their rights, and knowing, dare
maintain
Prevent the ng-aimed blow,
And crush the tyrant while they rend the chain:
These constitute State"

"Peace hath her victories
No less renow ned than war.


The paths of glory no longer lead over
smoking towns and crimsoned fields, but
along the lanes and by-ways of human mis-
cry and woe, where the bones and sinews of
men are struggling with the elements, with
tue unrelenting obstacles of nature, and the
not less unmercitul obstacles of false civil
ization. The nobest achievement in this
world pilgrimage is to raise the fallen from
their degradation, soothe the broken heart
ed, dry the tears of woe, and alleviate the
suIferings of the unfortunate in their path
way to the tomb.
'.Go say to the raging sea- be still:
Bid the wild, lawless winds obey thy wills
Preach to the storm, aud reason with despair;
But tell not misery son that life is fair.
Ii you would lead the erring back from
the paths of vice and crime to virtue and to
honor, give him ahome-give him hearth
stone, and he will surround it with house
hold gods If you would make men wiser
and better, relieve your almshouses, close
the doors of your penitentiaries, and break
in pieces your gellows, purify the infuen-
ces of the domestic fireside, for that is the
school in which human character is formed
and there its destiny is shaped there the
soul receives its first impress and man his
first lesson, and they go with him for veal
or for woe through life. For purifying tie
sentiments elevating the thoughts, and de-
veloping the noblest impulses of mau's ma
ture, the influences of ii rural freside and
an agricultural life are the noblest and the
best. In the obscurity of the cottage, far
removed from the seductive influences of
rank and afluence, are nourished the vir-
tues that counterfeit the decay of human in
stitutions, the courage that defends the ma
tional independence, and the industry that
supports all classes of the State.
1t was said by Lord Chatham, in his APP
peal to the House Of Commons, in IT'S, TO
withdraw the British troops from Boston,
that trade, indeed, increases the glory and
wealth OF Il country but its true strength
and stamina are to be looked for in the Gull
tivators of the land. In the simplicity of
their lives is found the simpleness of virtue,
the integrity and courage OF freedom These
true, genuine sons of the soil are invinci-
ble."
