To show the manner in which Mr.. Yam
cey misrepresents political opponent, we
will expose his unprincplod garbling of
recent letter written by John Forsyth, Esq,
Of Alabama, personal acquaintance Of Mr..
Yancey. At Harrsonburg, Mr.. Y. intro
duced Mr.. T. as the head and front Of the
Douglas party in the South and then pro-
ceeded to read the following extract from
Mr.. Forsyth's letter:
It is briefly this: IF Black Republi-
can President should be elected by a purely
sectional vote, the South resisting and the
Northcrners uniting against us, this is no
Union for shareholders to live in. | should
go with Mr.. Yaucey for its disruption,
halter or no halter"
Here he stopped, leaving the impression
that Mr.. Forsyth was mow willing to &c
with Mr.. Yancey in his disunon and revo-
lutionary schemes Now what followed the
above extract? Read below Mark, the
two extracts constitute the same paragraph,
and the word But" in the last quotation
comes Immediately after the word chatter
in the first quotation. Could more bare
faced and unmitigated forgery and swindle
be perpetrated upon a political opponent
He takes a few PREDATORY lines from the body
Of the article, and makes Mr.. Forsyth say
precisely what he designed not to assert
Can high spirited, honorable and justice.
loving people endorse such means of party
warfare? Never! We call upon the hon
est voters of this District to scorn and spit
upon such dishonorable trickery and party
finesse Read the extract below, which is
damning proof Of the guilt Of forgery.
'But, if in spite Of the loyal efforts of
million and half of Northern Dem
ocrats, who stand fast to the regular nom
iuees Of the National Democratic party
against the Chicago nominees, the latter
are elected through the deliberate boiling
and treachery Of the men at the South who
claim to be its champions par excellence.
then [ say the case not only does not justify
rebellion. but these champions as the au-
thors of the calamity should be held as trai
tors first to the South, in comprising this
election, and second, as traitors to the Gov

wrong, they rebel; and in both cases should
deserve to be hung as high as Haman.

UNDER THE ROSES.

Over our doorway roses twine-
'Tis humble home, but half divine,
In tangle Of roses a.d eglantine.
Wee little windows cannily look,
From under the old roof-tree> into a brook,
Fr0licking down from rocky nook,
''Welcome, darlirg!'' they seem to say
To the musical streamlet tripping away
Gleefully down through the meadow hay;
Or, wistfully, sometimes, "Prithee stay y
But never the laughing waves delay,
Though ever so softly echoing "oye''
To the lean-to roof gray lichens cling
Oyer it great elm branches fling
Drowsys shadows, and lazily swing.
Singing and swinging to and fro
In the odorous air, their tassels flow
Tenderly over the cot below.
And the sills are selveted over with moss,
Soft as lady's silken floss
Thresholds a fairy queen might cross
Hither and thither the robins fit,
Or saucily under the roses sit,
Asking iberty-never bit
Happy as ever the birds are we
Happy as never the birds can be-
For the birds can't love, as love theet
Under the roses we sit and dream,
Till sorrows only like rose-leaves seem,
Floating away on the ripping streaml

D1pTHERIA AND IT'S CURE. This singular
disease, which has thus far seemed to battle
the skill of our best physicians, has become
SO prevalent and has been so generally fatal
that any suggestion in regard to its cure will
hardly prove undressing The Cincin-
natl Press says:
The diagnostic by which it is known from
other complaints of the throat is the forma-
ton Of mem brane which increases gradu-
ally until the patient is literally strangled
to death. 1t is sometimes accompanied by
alteration and extreme prostratlon of the en-
tire system, and at others by neither of these
symptoms, yet in either case it is equally
fatal. To arrest the formation of this mem
brane would therefore seem equivalent to
curing this disease, and this in the naost in
stances may be done in the following man
.ner:
In the early stages Of the complaint, which
is always accompanied by soreness and
swelling of the throat, let the patient use
simple solution of salt and water, as gar
gle, every fifteen minutes At the same
time moisten piece of flannel with a salu-
ton of the same kind, made as warm as the
patient can bear 1T, and bind it around his
throat, renewing it as often as the gargle is
administered, and meanwhile sprinkling fine
salt between the flannel and the neck Use
inwardly some tome or stfmulant, either
OF If the prostration be great,
use both together The treatment, as may
be seen, is extremely simple, and if used in
the earlier stages Of the disease, will effect
a complete cure.

Coon ADVICE Those who wish to do
good, but hesitate to do it, would do well to
read the following The reason may be sug-
gested to them by the perusal:
Do not delude yourself with the dea that
you can please everybody. Who ever knew
ybody that was worth anything that had
nobody to find fault with him ? You would
have to do evil in many cases to please the
evil; hatter some to crafty their pride; in
dulge the selfish, submit to the tyrannical
be a tool for the ambitious, and be careful
not to do anything as good as those who desire
to have ever ything superior to their neigh
bors. If you are q public man, should you
be diligent, you must expect to have many
secretly dislike you and talk against you, for
your success; aud if you accomplish little,
though many show themselves friendly, it
often leaks out that some who appear pleas
ant to you, can do thus because they do not
fear your rivalry--tAey may smile upon you
outwardly, and yet entertain contempt for
your ineficiency. Always Go that which is
right, be diigeut, do the most you can, pay
40 regard to fault-fnders, and YOU will find
as many friends as any sensible man need

Gov. JoHNsos's PLANTATION IN GEORGIA.
fhe plantation Of Governor Johnson, the
Douglas candidate for Vice President, lies
in Jefferson county, Georgia, and consists
of 1902 acres OF land It is said to be pc
culiarly adapted to the products Of that lat
itude, particularly cotton. In the aggre-
gate the land is valued at $4,000. There
are upon the plantation III slaves, as like
" set Of boys and girls as you will see
south Of Mason and Dixon's line, and val
ued at $93, 600. The increase of slaves in
twenty five years has been zoo per cent
The number Of mules and horses is thirty
eight, worth $3, 300; value of cattle and i'm
pements about $1,000. This will make
the aggregate value Of the farm and stock
125, 500. From this investment there will
be raised this year $50 bales cotton valued
at So, 500; bushels Of corn, 1900, valued
at SIS, 500, giving clear income Of $19.-
900, besides supporting in sumptuous
style about $50 persons, and raising any
amount Of sweet potatoes and garden truck
6 generally. It is chiefly managed by his
tw sons, two very promising young men.

Now and Then.

Immediately after the passage of the Com
promise measures of 1850, the people OF
Augusta county, irrespective Of party, as
sembled in Staunton to sustain that pacifica-
ton and give utterance to their wishes and
purposes Thos J. Niche, Esq, was
chairman Of the committee on resolutions,
and reported series of resolves that had
been adopted by New York meeting, and
which were re- adopted by the Staunton meet
ing. Among the resolutions was the fol-
lowing:
Resolved, That in the opinion of this
meeting further agitation Of the slavery
question in Congress would be fraught with
incalculable danger to our Union, aud that
we will support no candidate at the ensuing
or any other election, for State offices or for
member of Congress or Of the Legislature,
who is known or believed to be hostile to
the peace mea >ures recently adopted by Con-
gress. or any of them. or in favor of re-
opening the questions involved in them for
renewed agitation.
So ir 1850 the chairman of that commit
tee was for the Union first, last and all the
time, and the sworn and implacable enemy
Of every body who was not with him. In
1860 his position is almost tie reverse
The Union is an engine Of oppression now
Then the compromise measures and non-in-
terventfon were the touch stone by which
every mans loyalty had to be tried Now,
the doctrine of Intervention is the criterion
by which all have to be judged. Then he
recognized in the resolution above, a ~
MON loving, law abiding and covenant keep
ing spirit" Now, he recognizes in that
same spirit treason to the Democracy and
the South.
