the time of John Adams, and with the same uitl-
mate purpose. But IN two or three years the peo'

Gated the constitution and turned over the feoefai
government to the principles and policy OF the dem
cratic party. To the sober second thought OF tue
people" therefore, and to the ballotbox, we no"
appeal when again in like peril with our fathers.
But if every Democrat concurred in the policy OF
prosecuting the war to the utter suougaton OF the
South aud the subversion Of her State Governments
with her institutions, withouta Convention OF the
States, and without overture Tor peace we snoaia
just as resolutely resist the dsoandng Of tne Dem'
ocratic party It is the only party capable Of carry
ing on war it is the only party which has ever
conducted war to a successful ISSUE and the only
party which has done it without abuse Of power.
without molestation to the rights of any class OF
citizens and with pure regard to economy. All this
it has done all this if need be- it is able to do again.
If success. then in military point of view be re-
qulred the democrats alone can command 1t.
10 conclude Inviting all men. without dstinc'
ton of State, section, or party, who are for the
Constitution as it is and the Union as it was, to
unite with us in this great work upon terms Of
perfect equality, we insist that
The restoration of the Union, whether through
peace or by war, demands the continued organiza-
ton and success of the Democratic party;
That the preservation of the Constitution de-
mands it;
The maintenance Of liberty and free dcmocratical
government demands it;
The restoration Of sound system Of internal
policy demands it;
Economy and honesty in the public expenditures,
now at the rate Of four millions of dollars day, de-
mand it;
The rapid accumulation of an enormous and per-
manent public debt demand ia public debt al
ready thousand millions of dollars; and equal,
at the present rate in three years, to Englands
debt of century and half in growth;
Federal, already more than TWO hundred millions of
dollars year, eating out the substance of the peo-
pie, augmenting every year, demands it,
Reduced wages, low prices, depression of trade,
decay of business, scarcity of work, and impcnd-
ing ruin on every side, demand it;
And finally, the restoration of the concord, good
feeling and prosperity of former years. demand that
the democratic party shall be maintained and made
victorious. W. A. RICHARDSON, of III.

shown US letter accompanying package
of 20 lbs. Gncluding 5 varieties) of sugar
beet seed, sent him by Mr. BELcHER, OF the
Chicago Sugar Refinery, for sratuitous dis
tribution. .Mr. b. says: - =
"2O lbs. will plant about S acres. II
more than this quantity can be- placed
with those who will plant it, will send
more. imported 600 lbs. (pure seed
from France,) for distribution in the

object being to test. the different soils,
climates, &c -. ] should be glad
if your farmers would raise 10 acres or
more, which they can easily do with the
fact in. view that the sugar beet will be
worth more than cost Of raising for feeding
stock, should 1t not be found rich enough
in sugar to pay for extracting it"
More than half the sugar used in France
is made from the 'bee,, and Mr.. Belcher
seems quite confident that, with the mod.
ern Improvements, beet sugar can be raised
and manufactured in Illinois for much
less than the imported article costs or
than it can be made from Imphee cane.

DEATH OF AN OLD CIrIzEN.-HENRY s.
PORTER, resident of Ottawa since 1899,
died in this city on Saturday morning last,
in the 9th year of his age. He had emf

Ohio, and for those 80 long years, and we
know not how many more, and pursued
unin terruptedly the occupation Of a shoe
maker, rearing comfortably and literally
educated, by his steady industry, large
family of children. Those who knew him

FLAGs-Our hint on the subject of dis
playing flags a week or two ago had the
disagreeabie effect of riling the stomach
of our neighbor of the Republican, and
bringing up some bile The reason flags
were not displayed on the announcement
of McClellans important victories on the
Peninsula, we are gravely informed was
because the flags had been worn out by
waving so often in honor of the victories
of the Western army. So the bunting in
Ottawa is all used up! Strange, however,
that it shoald have come out so promptly
on Wednesday morning, on receiving the
doubtful report from Fort Pillow. Nc
Clellan killing, however, is played out in
Ottawa, and we apprehend no want of
promptness hereafter in awarding him all
due honor BY displaying flags or other

The CONCERT on Thursday evening, IN
aid of the Ladies Soldiers Relief Society OF
this city, under the management OF Mr..
D. w. C. GooDING, was a musical treat
worthy of the occasion. That it would be
largely attended was to be expected, for
the object, without reference to the music,
would have insured fair house out the
jam on the occasion showed that moro
than an excuse for concert had been ex-
pected. And the audience were not dis
appointed. The singing, as well as the
instrumental part, was such as not only to
elicit the most enthusiastic applause, but
was most creditable to the musical taste
and skill Of those ladies and gentlemen
who so patriotically gave the entertain
ment. There was more than one difficult
piece executed in style that would have
done credit to professional vocalists. In
deed, the concert demonstrated that we
have voices, and musical talent, in this
city to boast OF. We doubt not, ourpeople
would feel it a privilege occasionally to
patronize such concerts were the motive
in giving it even less self sacrificing and
patriotic. tr.f

The Consistency of charlie. sumner.


There Is no better test Of mans honesty and
strength Of mind. than adherence TO principle
under al temptations. Charles Sumner has been
submitted % this test. and has uzloriously proved
hirr Elf cOuuterlet coin.
Some years since. before lis election 70 the
SeDate, Sumner Vas a prominent reace man
No one, apparently. deprecated war mpre than
he lie was under all Circumstances opposed 90
the arbitrAment Of arms. IL was his plea that
superiority Of physical force settled no question
upOn1ts merits; HAT armies hai heapei untold
wrongs ulsn mankiTai and tloeded the world
with ceaselessly flowing tears Eloquently he
aepseted tlse cost. tbs lnsery. and the crime ct
war. Glowingly he portrayed is uselessness and
horrors Earnestly he argued against any resort
90 practice in The settlement Of international
difficulties, which rendered brute force the arb-
ter OF peoples rights. Feelngy he appealed
to the people of his native Boston to array them
selves in a moral hostility to resort Of nations
condemned by all logic and especially by the i'm
perative teachings of the Book of books.
These principles Charles Sumner persistently
and consistently advocated until ms eve caught
the first hight of the coming conflict between the
two sections OF his own country. As he snuifed
the battle afar off between the North and the
South, his devotion TO the principles of peace
grew luke warm. IL was his hate OF one half the
States in one side of the scale. and his life long
principles in the other. The latter kicked the
beam, and the uncompromising advocate Of peace
enrolled himself among the advocates of war-a
war which he would make relentless, bitter, de
structve, and extermlnating, in spite OF the Con
stitution and the rules OF civilized nations.
Such is chapter in the history of a man whose
c0unsels are now listened 20 by portion of the
people with open ears and mouth.
