The day of our deliverance is near at
hand. Next Monday is day looked for
ward to with intense anxiety by every true
American patriot as the day of the ma
tons emancipation from the rule of imbe-
cility, cowardice and t-eason.-7fue DEM
ocrdt.
The above is fair sample of the Ian
guage of Black Republican newspapers in
anticipation of President Lincoln's assum
ing the reins of government
According to their painting our country
has been till now under Tyranny-rhe
interests Of freedom and freemen having
been sacrificed to the behests of the "slave
power" Moreover, under the old regime,
our country has failed to prosper and in
crease in power among the nations of the
world, owing to the oppressive influence Of
slavery.
But now-glorious tidings i" the day
of our deliyeraDce is near at hand :" in
fact. is already arrived "The nations
emancipation from the rule Of imbecility,
cowardice and treason is accomplished.
The golden age has again dawned unon
the world the slave power" is stag.
gered to the earth, and no more shall the
great heart Of free white labor be CALLED by
its chains. White laborers at the North
shall be paid from two to five dollars day
and the husbandmau shall receive fige fold
for the products of his farm. The wheels
of governments will be so arranged by hon.
est Old Abe and his cabiret, tina. free
speech, free labor, high wages and plenty
of work shall continually flaw from the md,
chine; and milk and honey shall everlast
ingly exude from the surface Of free
s., H."
Make note of this, farmers and labor
ers, mechanics and merchants: The day
of your deiiverance has come. You are a
length emancipated from the thraldom o.
the " slave power" and under the blessed
rule of honest Old Abe your days upor
earth shall be filled with high wages, hig!
prices. light taxes, and plenty of money.

Has changed it, gay clothing for this sonbre vesture,
A true type set by nature our hopes TO destroy.

Though of fihciful tins, such art cannot paint,

GRADED SCHOOLS.

Graded schools seem to DC a sub
iect upon which considerable igno-
rance exists among the citizens of eur
county, anu propose, Mr.. Editor, with
your permission, to write series Of
articles upon this topic, that we. all
may know just what graded schools
are, and their advantages over our
common mixed schools.
wish particularly to call the atten-
.tion Of the citizens of st. Charles City
to this subject there are in the two
sub-distrcts (Nos. 2 and 81 situated
mostly in this village, according to
the enumeration made in September
last, 1874 scholars, while in these two
sub.districts there is .ouly one school
house, ard that one, only capable Of
accommodating about 60 pupils
less than onc-third of the number en-
titled to school privileges. 1t is true
that rooms are hired in which schools
are taught, and at which perhaps IS
pupils might be accommodated, if it
can he called accommodating them,

with no facilities for.writjng, nc. desks
