free home of 400 acres OF land were secured 70 every
settler II would contribute greatly TO such result
Thai il the object had in view by the Republicans.
IL onpo sed by the Southern Democracy because they
saw II will Gil our Territories with the hoerty'ovlng
Germans and others from the Free Statee, VINO VIII,
when thew come to form State Constitutions, forever
exclnde Slavery They regard such measure as more
fatal TO the extension of Slavery than Congressional
enactment against it, Admit this TO be true, and it adds
but an additional reason in favor Of the policy.
Al the last session of Congress Homestead law was
nassed. II was not such one as the Republicans
desired but the best they could get; and yet 1t was
vetoed by the President SO long as the Southern Ds-
mocracy[o this measure will never be established
VII.:TRe improvement Of Rivers and Har6ors
whereper of National interest.
Ever since the Democratic party commenced the
agitation of the Slavery question, the Improvement OF
rivers and barbors has been neglected. Indeed every
great interest has been shameiully sacrificed TO pro-
mote the peculiar institution of the Southern Democr
CIV who have ruled us. They want to extend Slavery
and that is all they care about. Engaged in very little
commerce themselves, they do not seem to wish to
make even that little secure. This great interest
of the whole country should be promoted by wise, ma
tional Legislation; but it never will be until there ID
change in our rulers now at hand.'
VIII.-7Re speedy construction, By Government
aid, of a Railroad to the Pacific.
Little need be said of the importance of this great
enterprise. The mighty empire, rapidly extending
itself the shores Of the Pacific, must be attached to
ne by mutual interests and intimate intercourse, or the
day may come when it will set up for itself. Nothing
will contribute SO much 10 prevent such result as the
spesdy construction OF this railroad. To say nothing
about il as question of the profitable investment
of eapital-nothing of its becoming the highway Of
understanding of the immense wealth of the Indies
which pas it, this alone is consideration
enough TO demand its immediate completion. Why
sbOuld it not be done :!
The "eternal negro which the Southern Democracy
continually force upon the country prevent It, and
always will prevent it until we have Republican
President and Republican Congress. II is true that
both wings of the Democracy have resolved in its IA
vor but they have been long in power and have done
nothing for it. They cannot be trusted These resolves
were made to deceive voters.
Having thus very briefly spoken Of the measures
proposed TO be established by the advent of the Repub-
can party to power, what is there in any of the TO
which reasonable objection can be madei We ind
in them nothing about placing the negro upon an equal
political and social footing with the white man, DEM

Slavery in theSlave Staesnotbing of the violation OF
any Of the rights of any of the States
few words about our candidate. Ralsed AMID the
hardships and prvations OF new country, MIR. LIN
coin was early taught the great lesson that complete
success can only be accomplished by manly exertion
and self reliance, of which his own history is an emi
nent illustration. Possessed of great good common
sense, of industrious and temperate habits of unm-
peacbabe character better selection for the Pres
idency could have been made.
But our opponents gay that he is an obscure man,
without national reputation" Very well. Let us
see about what is called national reputation"
What is it worth, and how is it madel
"Yankee," who had motion 70 make fortune
without hard work Ia rare thing among such folk,
mixed together rain water and moasses nctnred
with cherry Juice, and "Wistar's Balsam Of Wild
Cherry soon had national reputation az an infal-
ble rem edy for every i'll that human flesh is heir TO.
How did it get that reputstonl BY putting! News
paper putting and nothing else.
A gentleman manages TO get himself into Congress.
He begins to put on airs and look wise About the
second session he employs some professional speech
writer 10 fix him up speech, much after the fashion
machine poetry is made. 1t is delivered to empty
benches The newspapers puff it, and the man VINO
rebearsed it mot the writer gets national reputa-
ton % In short time little paragraphs appear in the
papers, ntimatng that this very oughtto be Presi
dent. The outsiders" regarding him as the very
embodiment of all that is great wise in statesman
chip begin to throw up their caps for him. And thus
it is that are often given Irrational reputation"
who have not ability enough to make respectable
Justice of the Peace in Spencer County, Indiana, where
"ABE LINCOLN" was brought up"
0f do not Dretend TO that all the men
Congress make repu atons in this way, because many
of sterling worth aud great ability are TO be fonnd
there only speak Of it to show that there is very
little in what ia called national reputation, and TO
ridcue the idea that a man must have this kind OF
reputation before he can aspire to position.
And what is the prospect Of the election of this OBJ
scure" man without I" national reputation % Let US
look at the signs of the times and Judge.
The Democratic party once so powerful, ana bar
monious, and united is now divided, disheadened and
almost disbanded
The cause of this is apparent. The repeal of the
Missouri Compromise agitated anew the Slavery qnes
ton, and the work ia accomplished. The Old Man
Of the Sea" astIde the shoulders Of Snbad the SaOr
could not be shaken off. So, the Eternal Negro"
the favorte of the Democracy has at length fast ned
himsef the back of those who have conjonred him
up, end no human effort cast hsa from their sh,u
Gers He is there and on 10 everlasting destruction
he urges bis unwilling victims. They know the fate
that ats them, and ike good Christian phil sophers
as they are presumed to be- are preparing for the last
solemn moment. Already are they timing their
voices to sing the appropriate lines:
"Hsrk! from the tomb doeful sound:
My attend the cry
Ye living IA, view the ground
Where you must shortly lie"
A few desperate men, however, willing TO grasp al
any shadow pretend to think that the election may 60
into the House and thus cheat the people their choice
There is not the remoes probability OF the success OF
such scheme, and ali true lovers OF the country ought
TO rejoice that il is 3d. Who desires to see the election
of President become the subject OF the bargains and
the corruptons which would be the ide by the
Housel 1t is said 'agan that constituted as the House
