Home Influences.

In St. Cloud, as in other new places,
there ls.a large surplr7 of men. OF course
there are many who have no families and
no home influences. Have not house
keepers, and family men, been unjust to
this large class Of our population -? is a
question worth considering. Our unmar-
ried men, and men away from their fam
lilies, are generally without near relative
here; and one seldom meets them in any
domestic circle. Nay, they appear to be
as studiously excluded, from our more in
innate social intercourse, as if they were
the sworn enemies of the race. They arc
thus left to herd together in bar rooms,
saloons, and stores, and when they have
an oyster supper, in lieu of the social tea
drinking to which our married men so
often go, the gathering is regarded with
the utmost suspicion. Do they fall into
any Of those irregularities into which men
usually fall when deprived of home in
fuences, the error is duly chronicled and
lnagni6ed and multiplied until they grad
ually learn to become Indifferent to that
public opinion which they find so unjust;
and they become what they are reported
to be.
Now, this crying evil is principally
chargeable to women. There are few
women, perhaps one in hundred, who
naturally look upon every man as lover,
either for herself or somebody else.-
These usually assume the character of
saints par excellence, and it is we'll they
should expcnd large portion of their
surplus animality, on passionate attach
ments to ecclesiastical rites and ceremon-
les; but it is not we'll that their depravi-
ty, from which their piety springs, should
be allowed to make rules for whole COM
munities.
They regard men as our little brother
did doctors. He once ran in, all out Of
breath, calling out:
"Hasn't Wilson's got doctor?"

MitchelPs house, when the doors were
open, and his daughters were playing and
singing. They. stopped, stealthily, to
listen, until tho girls noticing them went
and asked. them IN. They declined this,
lost they should soil the carpet, but would
be greatly obliged if they would play and
sing little more-it was long time
since they had heard piano. They
wore requested to name such pieces as
they wished to hear and ,, for one: hour
kept breathless silence while they crowd
ed door and windows to hear familiar airs.
When it was over, they held short con-
suitation, when one of their number STEP
ped into the room, took off his tattered
hat, and bowling low, said: ii. ,''. 81
"Ladies, the company have desired me
to return thanks for the very pleasant en-
tertainment you have afforded U.S." -.
Then coming, one by one, to tho door,
each made his bow, and they departed, to
60 to the Stearns House, and talk over
the incident, where they emphatically de-
clared that these little girls were sure to
go to Heaven, and every one about that
house would be sure to go to Heaven, why,
the house itself looked like Heaven and
music like that could not fail to teach
any one the way to Heaven. Ithad rcawak-
ened in their souls the dormant recollec-
tions of all the sacred teaching of the
homes they left. After this in passing
that house they always took off their hats
and walked past in respectful silence
When home sights and sounds are thus
grateful to the toughest class of home
less men, why should me more refined be
shut out from Our home influences? It
VIII not 10 for US to comfort ourselves
with the idea, that we have churches, and
prayer meetings where they might attend.
These are all we'll in their place but there
were families for great many centuries
before there were any churches, showing
that the family is the most important of
all divine institutions for human veal.
Protesting christians mistake their miss
ion when they suppose they can neglect
the duty of hospitality and give substi-
tute in prayers; or when they stand
aloof to see the unwary feet fall into
temptation and then enquire cam my

strike twelve, when he advised all to kneel
and receive the boon of freedom in silence.
They did SO, and could every one count
his own heart throbs as the bell rang in
the day Of jubilee. Just as it ceased to
strike there was sudden fash ofl,ghtniug
and peal of thunder and for some mo-
ments there was supernatural awe, when
they all, as one man, arose and sang "Hal-
le1ujah! Glory be to God, Hallelujah
Glory be to God." Then they turned and
shook hands with each other, clasped one
another in their free arms, while ever and
anon leaped up the shout of "Hallelujah
Glory be to God, we are tree % So it was
all over the Islands. Instead of the mas
sacres, and houseburnings, and pillagings,
predicted by the friends of Slavery, there
were only songs Of rejoicing and hymns of
praise.
Gentlemen in charge of plantations re:
ported, to the home authorities, that they
had expected some disorders on that week,
but found none. One superintendent wrote
that, on the first morning of freedom, there
turned out, in good time, the largest gang
of hands he had ever had , and all went to
work, with new life, on the prospect of
receiving their wages. During the fore
noon an agent, from another estate, rode
over to say that the negroes had all turned
out but refused to work. He went and
found them standing idle, with hoes in
their hands; and ing uired, "Why, how is
this ? are you not going to work ?" "Oh
yes Massa, we goin' to work, but we want
see you fust, to see what's guine to be de
bargain" In a few moments the bargain
was made, and the hoes we're all in active
operation.
Mr.. Ford also gave copious extracts
from the most authentic sources. proving
that the old debts contracted uuder Slave

the rule of free labor, that the people are

PEELED to pay two cents per pound to favor
Louisiana Planters, the free negro lsoorers
of the West Indies will soon show our peo-
pie the superiority of freedom to Slavery,
even in commercial point of view, and
when applied to black men. Even with
this tax to favor slave labor, the free black
labor Ct the West Indies docs now compete
with its rival in our sugar market.
This sugar question MIR. Ford did not
touch; but it occurs to us as a good wind
ing up to his unanswerable array of facts
and arguments in favor of Justice, in pay
ing the laborer his hire.
St. Cloud Democrat. [volume] (Saint Cloud, Stearns County, Minn.) 1858-1866, 1861-02-14

Petitions are circulating here asking
our representatives to vote for the Critten-
den Compromise, which forever establish
es slavery in one half of the territory Of
the Union without regard to the wishes of
the people. This is cool impudence, Ger
tainly. The question Of slavery in the
territories was the question especially sub
p'itted to the people in the last election
THEY decided that this troublesome in
stitution should NOT he extended; and it
is certainly beautiful idea of democracy
to ask the peoples servants to disregard
their solelnnly expressed will, and vote to
set it aside.

Our Railroads.
~,

We are glad to see that majority of
the Committee have reported project to
the House Of Representatives, recommend
ing the construction Of our State railroads
without reference to the Bonds and by
separate companies. The Committee sug-
gests the only plan by which the roads can
be constructed without submitting the plan
to vote Of the people, and thus causing
delay and defeat. The following, which
appears to be the project of the majority
report, looks feasible, and we trust will be
adopted
LIST. No assistance from the State, 9th
q than the conveyance Of the road beds
and lands, upon the completion Of the roads,
End. Separate charters to such compa-
MES as will undertake to: complete other
road; without reference to main trunk OK
continuous line. - >''@.., ,1-A-'.''-
This arrangement will secure the CON-
pletion Of the road from St. Paul to this
place by Jan, 1862, under contract al
ready made with Mr. Barnes, of Phila and
tho Bond question can be just as equitably
settled hereafter, and certainly with more
advantage to the State, if the Rail, Roads
are constructed without their aid. @'s
The grand trunk project requires the.
State to make the bonds good gives three
years for the completion Of the road to-
St. Cloud, and places the whole system in in
the hands of an overgrown monopoly.
We cannot think that the Legislature
will adopt it; aud if they do, the people:
will reject and crush it. -',;-, - -

TAXPAYERS, Look OUT.-Petitions

Legislature to'reduce the delinquent taxes
one half, and extend the time Of payment.
In other words, the poor settler or citizen
who has, at great sacrifice, paid his taxes
