from hill top to hill top. There is
no nook SO secluded, where an
a merican freeman shelters, that he
must not hear the summons. The
issue is very simple. 1t is
Conservation, or Destruction.
Building, or Tearing -down.
Constitution, or DespOtiSm.
| LawS or BdyonetS.
The Past Restored, or the Present
Perpetuated.
Conservatives, constructives, pos
litiye men, men of progress-right-
l1yaunderstood, these are.~all 1.-The
same-will choose, nay, have cho-
sen their part. But how?
How are we to restore the past
How are we to restore the princi-
pies of the law and of the Consti-
tuition =? How are we to build?
X Our answer is simple; to
restore, to reconstruct, the people
must be convinced of something
they must do, and of something
they must believe, in regard to pol
itics.
The thing that they must do, is,
in the election next fall, to see that
every State-at least every State
from New York to the Pacific
Ocean-is put, as State Govern
ment, into the hands of men pro-
Tossing, and FAITHFUL TO, that De-
mocracy, under which the past
happiness Of the country has been
secured, and the achieved glories
all attained. 1t is not because it.
is the party, we say it, but because
its past success in administering
the country has been owing to the
principles ofits party creed. Along
with electing the State Legislatures,
these States must send, in the same
way, not simply majority, but an
overwhelming majority, of true,
tried, and able Democrats, to the
popular House of Congress for the
next year. This will be the best
evidence that can he afforded to
the beguiled and deceived people
of the South, that the people Of
the North have determined to re
store in principle, and in spirit, the
old Constitution.-Freeman's Jour.

ra The Emperor of Russia, b

na. The Emperor of Russia, by
advice of his Council, has author-
lied the importation into Odessa
and other Southern ports, for six
years, for the purpose of trial, the
following articles
1. Detached portions of agri-
cultural instruments - as plow-
shares, coulters, teeth Of harrows
and cultivators, cast-iron wheels
for wheelbarrows, free of duty.
2. Shovels, spades, rakes, pick
axes and steel pitchforls, at a duty
of fifty kopecks per pound.
American manufacturers of Ag-
ricultural implements should take
advantage Of this opening for the
sale of some of their productions,
which are we'll known to be un-
rivalled.

Reconstruction.

Why should we disguise the
truth There are enough of mer
who are blinded-euough who
though not blinded are mute
enough who, though they talk,
talk round the issue that is before
US. But, there are just two domi-
nant, cardinal ideas, on one or the
other of which our political ques.
tons are turning. The one is the
idea of reconStruction-the other
the idea Of destruction. The de.
stroyers are not hard to fnd-we
mean those whose idea is the de-
stractive. They are those who,
years ago, proposed in the Senate
to dissolve the Union of our coun-
try. They are those who denounced
the Constitution as "a league with
death and a covenant with hell"
They are those who took ii as their
ral.ying cry among the people that
the country, as our forefathers con-
stituted it, was already "house
divided against itself, and could
not stand. They are those who
inaugurated, as the basis of section
al organization, the idea that there
was Gan irrepressible conflict of op-
posing and enduring forces" be-
tween the geographical sections of
the country. They are those that
would not, in the last struggle for
an adjustment, accept Of Douglas
or of Crittenden's
compromise, or of any compromise.
They are those who shouted for
blood. They are those who howl
with rage, when they hear of bat
tle-field won without torrents Of
blood. The destroyers are not hard
to find.
The conservators, and construc-
tives, are also to be found. They
are those that elung to the hope of
> preserved and growing country.
They are those who wanted to tear
lown nothing, to root up nothing.
They are those who know that
consent is the condition of all politi.
,al peace. They are those brave
men who, if they have taken up
lrms, and put their bodies in the
'ront of the battle, and shed their
,lood, have done it-not with the
dea of destroying the country as
t used to be-but of saving, and
# restoring it to its old estates.
They are those who, at whatever
isk, at whatever loss, have not
eased from testifyiug to, and abid-
ng by, the great sheet anchors of
rec government, or from proclaim
ng that positive not destructive,
Iealing not woundlng, measures
aust, at last, be resorted to for the
eparation OF what the country
uffers.

over will become only the greater :

lay be attempted. 1t is the force

-Cincinnati will have rcpresen-
tative at the Baby Show, being an
infant eight months old, weighing
one pound and seven onnces. This
child is healthy and is perfectly
formed. To give an idea OF the
diminutiveness of this infant, We
would state that a ring from the
forcfnger of an ordinary sized man
will pass easily over the foot and
ankle of the boy up to his knee,
and also over his hand up to his
elbow. At the Baby Show the
prize of $1,000 is to be given TO
the smallest infant, and we have
no doubt the Queen City youth
will bear off that prize.

THE NORTHERN BONS.

Frcm Northern hills 70 Southern shores,
Behold scene n Wild dismay,
While forth the tide Of battle pours
The marshalcd ranks along the way.
Now broken lies the civic rod
The dear old banner fudely tore
The land our honored fathers irud,
Blush deeply with their ohdrcn's gore.
Who goes TO shield our Flag from wrong,
Aud breast rebcllions fierce attack
The Northern boys 10 column throng,
To drive the bastard thousands back.
When wroth seccders spread the pail
When rang the tocsns shrill alarms
From Sumter's ffowning, battered wall,
Tho Northern passion reused to arms.
At Baltimore In fearless haste,
They SAW the royal ranks draw near,
with hellsh ire they dared TO face
The Massachusetts volunteer.
Ring louder yet the martial notes
Where looming surgcs madly roar
The Burnside feet in Triumph floats
The Union Stars along the shore.
The clash u brisung. FURNISHED steel
That flashed amid the FIRE and smoke,
And hushed the lannon's deafening peal
At Douelson and Roanoke.
When the brave Northern boys return,
When wars destroying siege is DER
They'll know their hearts with valor burn,
And call them clinging slaves no more.
High on the towering steps Of fame
Where honorrd worth aud glory poise,
The hand Of Justice writes the name
or the heroic Northern boys.
