The BLACK Republican Candidates.

The ticket nominated at Chicago, is by no
means strong one. The candidates are far
from being illustrious and tried statesmen,
and they stand on platform which IS repudl-
ated and spit upon, by strong wing of the
party composed of those who still endorse the
principles of Know Nothingism. Mr.. Lin
coins career as a public man, has been nei-
ther brilliant nor successful. He was born in
Hardin county KY, and is now about 81
years of age. He emigrated to Illinois when
young He was Capt. of Company of Vol
unteers during the Black Hawk war, but wasfor
tunate or unfortunate enough, to never smell
gunpowder during the campaign. He was
afterwards member of the State Legislature
end was elected to Congress in 1S47. He
served during the session of 1S4S-9, but
ing member or debator. His colleagues
universally regarded him as third rate man
OF course everybody remembers that he ran
for United States Senator iu Illinois in 1858
against Hon. Stephen A. Douglas, and was
badly beaten. That memorable campaign
gave him all the fame and political reputa-
ton he possesses.
Mr.. Hamlin is nativse and resident of
Maine. He is at present one of the q S.
Senators from that State. He is a renegade
democrat, having long been ar active member
of the party. and having frequently been ele-
! waited by it to important Offices. As a states
man he has more ability and experience than
| Mr.. Lincoln The Convention committed a
fatal tlunder in not nom mating Senator Sew
ard for the Presidency Although emphati-
cally the father and the statesman of the Re-
publican Party, he was compelled to stand
! aside and make room for man whose only
recommendation was, that he had been beat
en- for Z. S Senator in 1858, and was when
a young man great iDauler of rails. A re-
markable qualification for the Presidency GER.

OF course we were on hands at the proper
hour, and were pleased although not surpris-
ed to learn, that our young friends had pass
cd highly creditable examination for ad-
mission TO the bar of our county. Perhaps
as we know all the gentlemen it is right that
we should be rather personal in our observa-
tions. For R. A M'Coy, Esq, the first on
the list, we entertain strong feelings of per-
sonal friendship. He has been a close stu
dent, and having heard him argue "nice
points in the Ebensburg Literary Society,
we are confident that the client who entrusts
his case to him, may rely on its being well
tried. Mr.. Scanlan is remarkable student
and we entertain no doubt has Blackstone by
heart He is the closest student we ever
knew, and has we understands remarkable
| retentive memory His professional career
will doubtless be successful, and praise will be
meted out to him. Mr.. Shoemaker has been a
close student, is an excellent business man,
and will make model lawyer. Success will
not fail to be the handmade of his professional
career And now that We have arrived al
the end of the chapter, o George, what shall
we say of thee; why simply, that thy zeal as
a student, and thy more than ordinary abili.

''For the sake of God continue to reverence

And when you find that you have been ex

VaIue Your own labor.


4 correspondent Of the Prairte Farm
er thus discourses upon the importance
Of every farmer placing proper value on
lis own labor: a
"What silly man he is who sets out
in lie to work for nothing, and continues
to operate upon that principle all the
days of his life. 1t is an old saying, and
true one, that if you think nothing OF
yourself no one else will set any store by
you. The same is the case with regard
to whatever you do. You ought to know
whether your services are Of any value.
Indeed you ought, and must make your
self useful in some one department in the
great worlds work, and there certainly
you should have common sense enough
to think kindly and appreciatingly OF
Yourself Now, this is just the reason
farming business is so little honored-
The men who carry on other branches Of
business consider their time and labor of
some account; they see money in every
passing hour if squandered, the money
is lost If devoted, a value is set upon it
and a remuneration claimed
How few have commenced this spring
TO keep aR account with their firms =
Not one in ten. We have way of do
ing things within ourselves so that
when done they cost nothing. Yet it is
folly to operate on such a principle
worse, it is suicidal. Every man should
have price fer his labor-not exuaya-
gant-but such that he may be able to
know what his Improvements cost him
what his crops stand him in as well
as what they sell for-or he can never
know within many dollars how he stands
with the world. The merchant keeps an
account.with every branch of his trade,
and he is able to tell at any hour when
when he chooses to strike his balance,
what his profits and losses are. and to
what particular branch lie owes his sue
cess OF failure But were the farmer to
90 into this squaring of accounts-mak
ing a debtor and creditor Of each of his
afairs-he would be astonished to see
how much time, consumed in matters
which never bring any returns, to the
neglect of important items, if attended
to, would afford hlm living and perennial
sources Of wealth. No man can succeed
on such principle. Honor, we pray
you, your own labor and demean yourself
with the dignity Of man.

A LADY's DEFENCE OF EEILs-An
exchange paper found fault with the
practice Of wearing veils-averred that it
was mischivously prevalent this year,
and objected to it because "they are SO
terribly annoying and tantaliziug to stn-
sitive young men" To this lady wri-
ter answers, with much truth, as follows !:
"This is one of the very best reasons
that could be given for wearing them
Feiis save women from vast amount Of
annoying impertinence. 1t requires no
small degree of resolution for a sensitive
young gill to pass the corner of a street
where a knot of these susceptible young
men are congregated, knowing that all
the curious eyes will be turned upon her,
and that her eyes, hair, walk, dress, size
Of shoes and gloves, will be marks of their
close and impudcnt observation. Wells
have special sanitary use during the
spiirg months, IN the protection afforded
FROM the disagreeabie influence of the
sun and wind but if comfurt did not
call for them we should advocate tLeir
use until young men acquired the first
rules of politeness and good manners in
their street deportment."
We earnestly hope that Lincoln won t
be elected; and he certainly won't if the
Democracy have good sense enough and
patriotism enough to stand in November
by the only national ticket before the
country. But If, through Democratic
madness, Mr. Lincoln shall be elected,
the Union must still be preserved, If
some Southern communities shall refuse
to let postmasters hold Office among
them, their post-ofhces can certainly b.
dispensed with, they alone being the suf-
ferers They may be assured that the
rest of the country will care very little
about that. United States mails will
pass right through the, midst of them
to points where Iuauls shall be
wanted and poi t Gasters tolerated If,
however, they want fight bad enough to
undertake to prevent the transmission of
the mails along the public highways, they
will have no difficulty in getting just as
much of it as will lie easily upon their
stomachs.-LouisgiUe Journal
