Hannibal Haulin.

Hannibal Hamlin, who was nomin-
ated last evening by the Republican
Convention at Chicago for Vice-Pre=i-
dent, was dorm in Paris, Oxford Co..
Maine, in August, 1s09 and is now in
the 5lst year ofhis age He is by pro-
fession lawyer, but for the last twenty
four years has been, for much ofthe time
in political life. From 1886 to 1910 he
was member of the Legislature of
Main. and for three of these years he
was the Speaker of its House Of Repre-
sentatives. In l643 he was relected
member of Congress, and rejected for
the fnllowing term. In lS47 he was
memder ofthe State Legislature, and
the next year was chosen to fill vacan-
cy, occasioncd by the death Of John
Fairfield, in the United States Senate
In 1851 he was rejected for the full term
in the same body, but resigned on being
chosen Governor of Maine in 1857. In
the same month he was again elected
to the United States Senate for six years
which office he accepted resigning the
Goycrnorship He is still member Of
the Sengte. This racord is an eviden-
ce with which he has always been re-
garded by his fellow-citizens in Maine.
Up to the time Of the Kansas Ncbras :
ka bill in 1854, Mr.. HamIin was a mem
ber of the Democratic party. That act
he regarded as a proof that the party,
with which he had been all his life con
nected, no longer deserved the name Of
Democratic, and was trcacherous to the
principles he had SO long cherished. -
Thenceforward he gave his support TO
the Republican party, of which be has
ever since continued faithful and dis
tinguished leader,
Mr.. Hamiin is a man of dignfied pre-
sence, of solid abilities, Of unflinching
integrity. and great executive talent
Familiar with the business Of legislation
he is peculiarly adapted, by The posses
sion of all these qualities, TO fill bencfi-
ciaIly for the country, and to his own
and his party's honor. the high post for
which he has been nominated. Tie
name of Hannibal Hamln of..Maine is a
fit second to that Of Abraham Lincoln OF

Marriage and Long Life.

Lire Wusiiraied-excelent authorit Y
on the subject contends that marriage
conduces to long life, and gives statistics
We copy as follows
MARRIAGE AND LoNG LIFE--It has
long been the opinion Of those who have
paid attention to the subject, that mar
riage in both sexes Is conducive to
length of life and a Euorpean Philos-
ophrr has lately made observations
which render the fact indubitabIe His
researches, together with what was pre-
viously known, give the following re-
markable results. Among unmarried
men, at the ages Of from thirty to forty
five, the average number Of deaths only
are eighteen. For forty-one bachelors
WIN attain the age of forty, there are
seventy eight married men who do the
same. AS age advances, the difference
because more striking AT sixty, there
are only twenty-five unmarried men
alive, for ninety-eight who have enjoyed
the benefits of matrimony at seventy,
the proportion between the bachelors
and married men is eleven Of the for
mer tWenty-seven Of the latter and at
eighty there arc nine married men for
three single ones. The same rule
holds good, in nearly the same proper
tions, with regard to the other sex
Married women, at the age Of thi ty,
taking one with another, may expect
to live thirtysl years longer; while for
the unmarried, the expectation of life is
only thirty years and half. OF those
who attain the age of forty-6ve, there
are seventy-two married women for
gfty-two old maids. These estimates,
it must be understood, are based on ac-
tual facts, by observing the difference
Of longevity between equal numbers of
individuals in single and in married
life.

PARTY and Country.

We find in the Tecumseh Herald a
well considered article of which the fol-
lowing are the closing paragraphs
They express in few words, the duty OF
the citizen, which, it is to be regretted,
is SO little heeded in these days of par
tzan Strife The Herald is Republican
in politics
We believe in the theory of a pop
ular government, but in such govern
ment, more than everywhere else, is it
needful that the people should think for
themselves. They connot safely lend
themselves in advance to any party. or
to party men. The principles Of right
and wrong they should fix and determ-
inc for themselves, and stand firmly by
them, and by that partly only who most
nearly coincide with them. 1t will not
do to allow the behests of party to lend
US blindly into the devious paths of wire
pulling Office seekers. Our fealty is to
our country, ,ands.to our sense of right,
land not to any man, or set Of men.
II IS not important to US that thew
should succeed, but if dereliet to our
principles. and the best welfare of our
common country, it matters not whether
they seek Office under our party banner
or not, it is important to the success of
the right, that they should be defeated.
/ Men we need, for party leaders, men
around whom to rally. men whom we
must unite upon and elect, to carry out
our principles, but we should not forget
that it is only for this that we need
them, and it is after all the principles
and not the men, which we should most
value. ws.,.es..s .a.g. fi..s-.... 49,

Crops.

Crops Of all kinds are coming up finc-
ly. The warm, showery weather we
have been having is pushing them ahead
marvelously. We are actually ahead
of eastern States in rapid growth. The

fin, whose farm is in Courtland town
ship, planted dry corn on Thursday ,and
on the following Monday it was uF

also states, that Mr.. M. Carson, a weel,
ago, planted quantity Of corn, and the
Tuesday following, it had grown to such
a size as to admit of being hocd.
No country, says the Statesman, and
SO we say, can beat this. But corn is
not the only growing crops here all
kinds are coming on equally fast Min

q, Times are evidently improving. :
Money is little more plenty than it
vassysp Business is more active and en-
couraging, Merchants are selling more
and buying more. The saw mills are
beginning to run again, and lumber is
in more active demand Building is
going forward in the towns much more
than last year at this time. The price
of grain is going up gradually. aud the
calls forit by eastern buyers are in
creasing. Eastern capital is again find
ing its way into our State, and is look
ing though carefully yet seriously for
corner lots in we'll established towns,
and lands in good places. There is a
surplus Of money in eastern cities, and
it is only waiting--or has been-for
property here to find its lowest point,
when the next move must be up
ward. That point has been reached
The courage and industry Of our peo-
pie have been such during the past few
years as to satisfy eastern capitalists
that ours is to be second to no State in
the Mississippi Valley in point of actual
wealth and agricultural resources.
Our farmers have increased their labor
in proportion 70 the increased demand
for it. They have not been lis;lessly
looking forward for somebody or some
thing to bring better times to them, but
have pulled their coats off, and been at
work with a will-adding to their farms
new improvements, cultivating more
acres, and doing it better. Thousands
who in former days lived by speculating
in claims and paper towns, left, bv the
reyulsion, without reward, and yoca-
iion, tuned farmers, and are now pro-
ducers instead of consumers. This
year our farmers, most of them, have
been in the market with something to
sell. They are not any longer buyers
If this happy state Of things lean be
preserved, the balance will be in our
favor. More money will come in than
will 60 out In few years the aggre-
gate in our favor will be great, and felt
among all classes, and the State be un-
exampled in its independence
We confidently predict that by an
other year all kinds of labor will com
mand fair remuneration, and that real
estate, whether farm lands or towl
property, will be sought for by eastern
buyers and fair prices offered.

as one Without hope. The greatest,
wisest, and best Statesman Of this day
the man who has always been in ad-
vance of the Statesmen Of the times, but
who has never taken backward step,
or had occasion to explain away a
statement Of Political feith or economy,
but has labored on with earnest effort
until the country has been brought up
to his standard-has been laid aside on
the plea of expedientcy. | believe it
has. been aigrave error, though not fatal
one, and Mr.. LINCOLN is al uncxcep-
tional man Of the Seward School in pol
itics. He has imbibcd the spirit of Sew
ard, and will carry out the Seward poll
icy; but he Is not the Statesman Sew
ard is, nor do his friends claim tha: he
is / believe the time had coma when
our greatest and best man should have
been put forward, and when he would
have been triumphantly elected; and a
with Seward as our candidate
would have put forever at rest the great
struggle between Freedom and Slavery
We shall triumph with Lincoln, but our
triumph will not be complete. Still
there can be no doubt all acted with
an earnest desire to do that which was
for the best.
