fans will not be witnessed by this generation.
The Millerites, and Second Adventists, in gen
eral, may rs well postpone any further opera
tons under the belief which has become stale
in the Indulgence, that the end is near" il is
n mistake, evidently, rs witness the gross dark
ness which seems 10 hang over a considerable
portion Of the human family who are reckon.
ed in the fold Of civilization, but whose en-
hghtenment is evidently not a thing of pride
or display.
We find as many ignorant people in the city
rs in the country; we think the proportion Of
these in the city is rather greater; rs, indeed,
it is reasonable it should be. Those who are
mainly engaged in agricultural pursuits are
apt TO be more practical and, in addition to a
pretty correct literary training, as well as a
knowledge Of what is Transporting daily
throughout the world, they add a pretty tho
rough knowledge of the useful arts and
sciences, and contribute their full share to the
general prosperity of the country, and the
happiness of mankind. We say, then, that it
there is a balance in favor of any section, the
country has il. The New York Herald does
not see the matter in the same light That
luminary in speaking its impressions about
country manners says:
"Village communities are not often remark
able for their regard for the decencies and rec
oghl@eu cohpentohahties Oh me. Ihey are
very apt to become somewhat boorish and vul-
gar, and whenever they get a chance to dis
play their cOarseness and want of breeding,
they never fail to do so"
Inc Herald uses this language toward a
small community somewhere IN the West that
passed resolutions to the ehect That the Herald
! not a nuisance was decidedly n bore! The
lesson might nave been extended so as to have
taken IN ana done Tor city eoarseness, which
would nave possessed the merit OF truth, If it
woulu hot nave been quite so readable in GER
tam sections We wlll give a sample OF the
last named TO onset the Heratds account, and
we Gommend 1t tothat class who, like our New
lork Mogul, think people IN the country are
clowns, ana are only LIT to raise cabbage and
other green things,
One day last week Il party of people
mostly emaies-resldents OF a city north of
TINS PAID a VISIT in the country IN this vicini-
tyi and supposing that the people hereabouts
were Doors and only fit subjects for ridicule
concluded to make game OF all whom they
couldinduce to come to their traps. One Of
inc carriages contained only ladies, ~ and we
regret to say that 1t was their conduct mainly
which was SO eXceptionable. They would stop
at the road SIDE anu call or beckon to work
men across helds, and these thinking the per-
sons IN the carriage were in distress, would
leave their work and walk several hundred
yards to ascertain what was wanted OF them;
several old men were the victims of these fool
ish girls, who, when asked what they desired
we're asked II they knew OF any person in the
vicinity who had sheep to SELL And then,
without waiting for an answer, they would
drive on at a rapid gait, Laughing to kill at
the trick they had played. These females Fl
nally met their matchS and called the wrong
man from the heldsi and it was not probably
altogether amiss that their ears were made to
Jungle, and the blush OF shame to suffuse their
cheeks, at the retort made to their wanton i'm
pertinence, They will not, we guarantee,
soon again display their coarseness and want
of breeding in the country. "Village Com
munities, while they do not annoy city peo-
pie with their vulgarities, sometimes find
it necessary to protect themselves from their
metropolitan visitors; and they are generally
equal to the task.
The speech of General V~ALLANDIGHAM the
other evening had not only the effect of max
ing friends to our cause, but it worked upon
the soreness OF the opposition, who have been
in most touchy humor since. They are very
cross, and snap at every one who will not
swallow LINCOLN, and everything like n rail.
This is, perhaps, the best evidence which we
could ask OF the high estimate they place upon
the speech OF MI. V on Friday night last.
Its effect has been disastrous to them, and
they feel 1T, II the conservative element in
this township can be brought to bear elective
" against the Republican ticket, (and we are
assured by the initiated that it will be,) the
l1NooINITEs will be beaten here by a hand
come little majority. We have faith to believe
that the Democratic ticket will be elected in
this county next fall by a decided majority,
which will leave no room for talk OF contest
The ultra.abolition course the Republicans are
pursuing is disgusting the conservative men,
and IS fast securing the result we have just
predicted, One thing we may rest assured OF;
the defeat OF the Republican ticket in this
county will be a liked TACT 1t the friends OF
the Union but toork for IT. We will not per
NIT ourselves to doubt the good faith Of the
anti-Republicans, and their determination to
clean out the old Liberty Guard and their al
lies, in this county this fall.
The "Wide-Awake" uniform wont take"
down in this direction. Such clap-trap will
have the opposite effect Of what was intended,
and we only wish they would circulate among
the lnboring men throughout the country, who
form a proper estimate of the humbug which
is calculated to have such a potceItul eject
upon green hornsl 1t reminds us Of the IRE
%tainers' of the lords of olden time, who, like
DooIITTLE' servants, were put in hveryi 1t
is our humble opinion that If a crowd is what
the Republicans seek by the display of those
men in buckram, real, live monkeys would
serve them better and then it would be more
