The Animus of the Present Democratic
Party.

Formerly the Democratic party was known
as progressive party, and the phrase "Pro-
gressive Democracy" was one Of reproach, used
by its adversaries. Its watch words were "free
trade and sailors rights" Opposition to aris-
tocracy," "the largest liberty" "down with
monopolies," and others kindred to these. In
1S49 the Democratic Convention of this State
passed a resolution, with single dissenting
voice, intensely anti-slavery, and that was
found sufficiently SO to be reproduced, and
adopted without particle of alteration by the
Republican Convention that nominated Lot NJ.
Morrill, for Governor. In IS4S we distinctly
recollect that even one Virgil ID. Paris came
to the office of paper then published by the
writer of this, after the form of the last issue
before election had been made up,and request
ed us to reopen the columns and give place to
correspondence to prove that one of his
friends-a Candidate for Congress, one John
ID. McCrate-was sound on the Wilmot Pro-
viso, and gave it the full benefit of his votes in
the National House of Representatives. We
accommodated him, and that correspondence
is thus preserved to this late day. So much

We have neither time, space nor inclination
TO trace the changes in the spirit and policy
of the party, and to point out the successive
steps by which it has attained to its present
bad eminence; but we boldly assert, and feel
able to maintain, that the Democratic party
to-day-the party of which the late Conven-
ton in this city was the exponent-is nothing
more or less than pro-slavery party; and we
fearlessly aver-and challenge successful con-
tradlction-that the dninaus of the party is the
conservation and protection OF the idea and the
fact Of negro slavery; that this is its corner
stone; that the guardianship of this undemo-
cratic institution is its chief and only work and
if slavery should be blotted out to-day the par
tywould be without foothold and would be
obliged to disappear or to invent new ground
work or platform on which to stand. The
sooner this thing is fully understood the better
for all concerned. The sooner the honest
masses of the people cease to be hoodwinked
by set of unprincipled demagogues, whose
only labor is to bolster up rebellion and the
cause of the rebellion, the sooner will they
cease to be cajoled, cheated and misled by
mere name-a name linked with many pleas
ant associations, but as destitute of its original
significance as darkness is oflight.
Look at the recent Democratic resolutions
and speeches. The opprobrious burden of
them all was "aboltionism" and abolition
ists." These are the only evils visible to the
class of politicians who controlled that body

Happy is the man who enjoys his meal
whose breakfast is a pleasure, whose
dinner a feast, and whose supper a charm
ing safety. On such one this world
may heap misfortunes bnt they will not
affect him.
A well filled stomach is a good shield
against the darts of care.
Dinner-time how it is longed for by
the winning school boy, as he comes hun
CRY from school and how unwillingly he
leaves the beef and nice pudding, to
creep again to the school room.
There is but one way to account for the
great number of morbid and dyspeptic
people we meet, and that is Why they do
not enjoy their meals. Breakfast to a
man OF this sort is matter OF profit and
loss, and he drinks his coffee with the
thoughts Of the value of stocks and not
of the good it might do him. Dinner to
him is feast of legerdemain. In an in
credibly small space Of time he slows
away, through the medium Of his mouths
a quantity OF solid material that seems to
jump and slip down as il alive; yea,
seemingly frightened at the teeth for fear
they would close on it unawares.
To such a man. properly speaking, there
is no meal time for coming home TO
supper racl1ed with indigestion, he list
lessly plays with his teaspoon, he chews
some hard-hearted bread, to get an appe-
tite, which never comes.
Oh, my friends, be attentive to your
meals, if you value long life. Would you
feel well all the morning, treat your

to much, but leisurely drink your cup OF
coffee and mildly chew your baker S
bread, lit is the best in the morning,
eating sparingly of meat. Then VIII you
rise from the table with delicious feeling
Of sanity and well prepared Tor the work
to be done. And when the all import
ant meal Of the day arrives-when dinner
time has coIue-you viii sit down to your
"roast with vegetable with satisfaction
and delight.
But now be careful not to gormandize.
Many man has by this means collected
a corporation in front Of him that has
never left him like some person we wot
OF, has been burden to them and an eye
sore to all.
Do not understand me as recommend
ing spare eating eat to your full but do
not cram. If you are sparing Of any
thing. let it be of pastry. One piece, we'll
enjoyed, is sufficient. Indeed, l recon-
mend doing without desert three days Of
the week. By so doing, when the closing
meal of the day arrives, you VIII sit down
to your cup of tea and light cakes with a
feeling Of content.
Caution-If, you would ENJOY good

MOTHER IS DEAD

"Mother is dead!" What a volume oil
thought do these words express! What pen
can bring forth the agony OF mind when this
sad truth is realized? The heart shrinks back
and denies to intruding expression kuowl-
edge of its inward woes. The ima2 ination ol
another fails to picture them; and when we
ourselves who have sustained this loss turn cur
eyes inward for moment to glance at the ua-
ked reality, we are wont to disbelieve il and
repel the overwhelming food Of sorrow, which
ever and anon, like the ocean, flows 10 and fro
upon our hearts until exhaustnd we sink into
lethargv, from which when we awaken it seems

A GRICULTu RAJ
Salt,

Some modern agricultural writers
have doubted the necessity Of giving
animals salt The following remarks
on the effects of salt upon health, by
Professor James L. Johnston, Of Scot
land, may be relished by those who
still put salt in their puddings, and
allow their cattle a little now and
then:
The wild buffalo frequcnts the salt
licks of Northwestern America the
wild animals in the central parts Of
Southern Africa are a sure prey to
the hunter, who conceals himself be
hind a salt spring; and our domestic
cattle run peacefully to the hand that
offers them a taste of this delicious
luxury. From time immcmorial it has
been known that without salt mar
would miserablY perish and among
horrible punishments, entaiIing GER
tain death, that OF feeding culprits
on saItIess food is said to have pre-
vailed in barbarous times. Mag@ots
and corruption are spoken of by an
cicnt writers as the distressing svmp-
toms which saltlcss food cngcndcrs !;
but no ancient or unclemical modern
could explain how much suffering

rInwrRs.

Ofali the minor creations Of God, flowers
seem to be completely the effusions ofhis .ove
of beauty, grace and joy. OF all the minor
objects which surround us, they are the least
connected with our absolute necessities. Veg
citation might proceed, the earth might be
clothed with a sober green; all the processes
Of ratification might be perfected without be-
ing attended by the glory with which the flow
ers era crowned; bat beauty and fragrance are
poured over the earth in blossoms Of endless
varieiiess radiant evidences of the bonndless
benevoence of the Deity. They are made
solely 10 gladden. the heart OF man, for a light
to his eyes. for living inspiration Of grace to
his spirits, for-a perpetual admiration. The
Greeks, whose souls pre-emnently sympatLi--
ed with the spirit of grace and beauty 10 every
thing, were enthusiastic in their love and lavish
in their use of flowers. They scattered
them in the portcoes Of their deities they
were strewed in the eonqueror's path on all
occasions of festiyity aud rejoicing, they were
strewn about or worn in garlands. The guests
at banquets were crowned with them; the
bowl was wreathed with them and wherever
they wished to throw beauty, aud 10 express
gladness With Sunshine, they cast flowers.

.srting he cram Vine.

We have met with many cXperlenc-
ed persons who have never seen the
grape vine grated. The process is
50 easy, that thousands who are anx-
ious to possess the new varieties,
should especially take care of thojr
old roots and insert scions of the new.
No clay or covering of the grated
part is necessary, hc"ond the natural
soil. below which the graft is to be
inserted. Saw off your stalk and put
in your scion with two or three buds,
wedge fashion, as in the clcfl-graiting
of fruit trees, cover up few in ches,
leaving one or two buds above the
ground; where the stalk is very large

the old stalk, as they spring up to rob
the graft, must be pulled off. Crafts
often bear some fine clusters the first

second. In this way the old stalk oi
wild grapes removed from the woods,
are very useful with due care. We
