PARTY TACTICS.

PARTY TACTICS.
If there is any one thing more
amusing in the history of the OPP
position than another. it is the fa
cility with which they trim their
sails to catch the popular breeze
At the time the government land
Of the II. S. was reduced in price,
from 81 SO per acre, to 81 Is,
the entire opposition to the dem
ocratic party raised one of the
widest howls against the adop-
ton Of the principle. Against
the opposition the democratic par
~ contended from the inception
of this proposition until it final
ly became a law.
It will be recollected that prior
to 1920 the government land of
the u. s., was held at that price,
and in selling eighty dollars on
the quarter section was required
to be paid down with a credit of
five years for the balance Of the
money. The operation Of this
law was to increase speculation
IN the purchase ofreal estate upon
time, every eighty dollars in the
country being then used to Sc.
cure 100 acres in hopes that the
settlement of the country and the
enhanced value Of real estate.
would so augment the price as to
en- rich the Spectator. The oper.
efinre nfthio- lo1u-L,.e,aoht, ~ ;;sea;is
states to the brink of ruin and re-
pudiation. It was then that the
democratic party stepped in, and
used it's influence to reduce the
price of the government lands
and to require prepayment for all
purchases. AS we have said this
measure then hid the strenuo, 4
opposition Of almost every indi.
vidual then IN political life, and
now prominent in opposition to
the Democracy
But despite all their predic-
tons that the government would
be ruined by this reduction in the
price Of these lands, and that the
Democratic party was hostile to
the poor man by requiring pre-
payment in all purchases, the
principle and the action of the
democracy in that conflict now re-
ceives the approval of every indi-
yidual fam liar with the circum-
stances. The next contest over
the gov eminent land, was an ef-
fort on the part of the opposition
continuing through a series of
years, having for its object, the
widest speculation and the basest
corruption, by distributing the
proceeds Of these lands
among the states. This
scheme the democracy ever OPP
posed, and to the benefit of the
country, successfully.
The next great movement was
the graduation act, reducing the
price Of lands in the ratio of the
number Of years they had been in
market. And even this act, de-
signed to benefit the poor and re-
lieve the U. S. from the heavy ex-
pense of sustaining the U S. off,

in which these swamp and flowed
lands We're situated, never had the
cordial friendship and support of
this opposition. And finally when

New Oregon plaindealer. (New Oregon, Iowa) 1859-1866, 1860-06-08

The Republican candidate for
President was a member of con.
gress during the Mexican war,
and with Tom Corwin was read,
to see the gallant men who rush.
ed to their country's call 'welcom
ed with bloody handsto hospita.
BILE graves" With Corwin he
composed one Of the mean, sordid
anti-american band, who in con-
gress voted against sustaining our
gallant countrymen upon the
blood, fields of Mexico, by reiu-
sing them supplies. No man then
affiliating with the enemies of
country under whatever pr:t ext,
has ever, or ever can receive the
generous sufrages Of the 4Ameri-
can people. Mark that.
The Republican in noticing the
obituary published in the Plain
dealer upon the death of Section
al r. Party, canonizes the depart
ed. We expected this william
like most others had left some
friend to prepare an epitaph to
deceive the unwary. By the way
we observed a notice of Probate
published in the New York Trib-
une prior to the meeting of the
Chicago convention, in accord
ance with which the affairs OF the
deceased will be fully closed up
early in November.
Those having claims against
the deceased should present them
to Abe Lincoln, who has given up
a profitable job ofrail splitting,
to administer upon the estate

Telling Secrets.

| must relate my first and last experiment
in training my oldest boy to keep family SC
crets. lie was a chatter.box and as he often
visited among strangers without me, was
fearful he might tell more than he ought. So
taking him on my knee, | said" Ny dear,
you must never tell any thing we say, or let
out any Of our plans to any one-especially
to Mrs. Jones" His quick mind compre-
hended me in an instant, and with very con-
frmed look, he promised obedience. A few
days after, he entered my room with an air
of triumph, and said" Mama, | minded
you. Mrs. Jones asked me when you were
going to New York, and | said, Il can't tell
you, for mig mama don't a0ish you to k'aow
any of her plams!" In my CONSERVATION, l
was tempted to reprove the innocent boy, but
upon a moments thought, let the matter
pass, knowing it could not be explained or
extenuated, and prelerriug to lose the friend
ship of Mrs. Jones, rather than suIly his pure,
trusting spirit with a lesson of worldly policy.
When his younger brother, more quiet boy,
but equally fond of visiting, and great pet
and darling with all who knew him, became
old enough to betray family secrets, l gave
him no caution, but trusted to his common
sense. One day on returning from an Grand
at neighboring house, he stood awhile alb
sorbod in thought, and then said
Mama, what shall | say when people ask
me What is your mother doing p and What
did you have for dinner ,"
What do you say, my dear !" said /.
Why" said he, looking bashfully aside,
" I say, Il guess 1t is time for me to goP"

Let him remember the promise is, He that

well all that his children would be called to

roughests paths He was tempted, even as
we, but never, never from his lips went up
the murmur, " I am weary of life" How

brow, and say, in all sincerity, "Not my will,

Reasons for Constantly Attending Divine
Worship and Religious Ordinances.

|. God requires it. 1t is for his glory
and, as his rational creatures, we should viii
lingly obey his holy will
2. 1t is exceedingly pleasant and edifying
where the heart is alive and awake to God
and good things.
3. 1t is the best adapted and most likely
the means of beneGting those who are in the
greatest need of spiritual benefit.
4. None are 50 advanced in grace and
knowledge as not to need those means which
God has appointed; whilst their constant at
tendance is practical witness for God, His
truth, and His cause.
s. Few have any superabundance of relig-
ious opportunities, consequently you should
avail yourself of all, remembering the loss of
Thomas by his absence only Oh one occasion.
6. Great mischief is done by a total or a
partial neglect of divine worship. Thereby
you wrong your own sOul-set an injurious
example to your family-discourage the heart
and weaken the hands of ministers and
friends, and exert bancful influence far aad
wide.
7. The example Of the godly of old should
operate in the matter. David had great de-
liz ht in attendance, and wept when hindered.
See the whole of the 9Th Psalm. The pious
Jews resolved :" We will not iorsake the
house of our God" Neh. x !: 80; and Paul
says: " Not forsaking the assembling of our,
selves together as the manner of some is
Heb. x: Is.
s. Every one shall give an account of him
self to God and it is unreasonable to sup
pose that the excuses which are so pleni-
fully made for the neglect of divine worship
and ordinances will bear the test and meet
the approval of that great day.
Scripture truth, plainly and duly taught,
has marvellous aptness to awaken the con-
science and touch the heart.

The DISCIPLINE OF LIFE.-The disci-
plinc Of our life is portioned out by no un-
loving hand 1t is just what We need, al
though we may not always realize it. 1t is
designed to make us strong, and wise and hum
BILE. Bitter indeed, are some Of the draughts
we drink, but most tonics are bitter, and they
do us good, if we do not relish them The
hidden trials are often the most difficult to
BEAR How the soul starts back with fear
fnl shudder from even the memory Of them.
In heaven this agony Of remembrance will be
over. No sorrow, and no sad remembrance
Of sorrow, can enter therc.-Smtth.

Why, if we arc indeed believers, in the
ScriptuIal sense, why are our co,ruptions so
strong and furnishing, our grace so weak and
languishing? Why does sin SO often seduce,
and temptations so easily trump phi over us
Why has our faith SO little of that realizing
character, which substantiates things hoped
for, and embodies things unseen flashing the
light Of eternity on the objects of time and
sense and thus exhibiting them in their COM
parative nohingness-their real insignf-
canoe, unless as viewed in their connection
with eternal things? Why is our knowledge
Of Divine truth, so often, at best, but as the
moonlight Of frosty night-cleor, but cold,
very cold instead Of resembling the cheer
ing warming, gIaddcning, as well as bright
ening radiance OF the summer sun? Why
does our professional love to the Savior pro
duce so little selt-denial or sacrifice for His
lsake so little devotedness to His service
and yet still less conformity TO His example
Why have we so little, if anything, Of the
mind and temper that was in Christ Jesus
Why do we search the Scriptures, and attend
to all the ordinances Of Divine worship and
run from lecture to lecture, and sermon to
sermon, yea, and approach the sacramontaI
table, to commemorate the stupendous, self
sacrificing love OF the Rcedecmer, month af-
ter month, with so little proft-so little visi-
BILE growth In grace, or progress in holiness =?
Why, in a word, is there so little separation
from the spirit, as well as the society Of the
world; SO little Of the lite of God in our
souls, or the love Of God in our hearts, or the
peace Of God in our bosoms, or the glory of
God in our lives ?
To all this | answor-chieAy because VIC
are so little in prayer-cordia, humble, fer
vent, pcrseverng prayer. Because we talk
so much about God in public, but so little
with God in private because we are so much
moro everywhere than in our closets; and in
every exercise than in devotion and in eve
ry attitude than on our knees; and thus the
blessing of the Holy Spirit, not being album
dainty vouchsafed, because not fervontly i'm
|pored, q whitening blight comes over all our
doings, and we read, and hear, and talk, and
abor, so almost if not altogether in vain.-
Rec. Hugh White.

ENERGY,-It is astonishing how much may
be accomplished in self-culture by the ener-
getic and the persevering, who are careful to
avail themselves of opportunities, and use up
the fragments of spare time which the idle
permit to run to waste. Thus Ferguson
learned astronomy from the heavens while
wrapped in sheepskin on the highland hills;
thus Stone learned mathematics while work
ing as journoyman gardener; thus Drew
studied the highest philosophy in the inter-
walls Of cobbling shoes; thus Miller taught
himself geology while working as day la.
borer in quarry. By bringing their mind
to bear upon knowledge in its various aspscts
and carefully using up the very odds and
ends of their time, men such as these, in
the very humbIest circumstances, reached the
highest culture, and acquired honorable dis
tinction among their fellow-men. 1t was one
of the characteristic expressions Of Chatter
ton, that God had sent his creatures into the
world with arms long enough to reach any
thing, if they chose to be at the trouble.

THRILLING INoIDENT.-In lecture recent
ly delivered by Grace Greenwood" at Bos-
ton, on Heroism," she referred to an Incl
dent that took place at the burning of
steamer on one of the western lakes.
Among the few passengers whose courage
and presence of mind rose superior to the
perils and horrors of the night, was mother
who succeeded in saving her two children by
means Of floating settee. While they were
in the water, the mother saw man swimming
toward the settee, and, as he was about to
grasp it, she cried Don't take it away from
my poor little children" The man made
no answer, yet the appeal struck home; for,
by the flaming vessel, she could see that his
face was convulsed by the struggle between
the mighty primal instinct of nature and
something better and holier. 1t was but for
moment Ho threw up his hands with a
groan of remuneration, flung himself over
backward, and won't down.
