HOPELESS Spite.


The recognition of Hayti and Liberia
is another of the national acts which
show that we are 40 longer chained to
the most remorseless despotlsm. This
Government sends a minister to the
Chinese, who are yellow people; and n
agent to the japanese, who are bronze
people, whom Mr.. Douglas called an in
ferior race; we have sonsuls in India
aud minister in Turkey; where the
people are dark red and olive; and there
! really has seemed to be no reason wing
we should refuse an agent to people
who are black. Nor has there been any
reason except that many Of the Senators,
whose couseut was necessary, held black
! people as slaves.
The utterly false, abnormal, and fatal
position which this nation has occupied
toward pcn of African descent is being
rapidly changed to the natural and sim
pie one which other civilized people
maintain. Nor would there be any
serious difficulty in immediately estab-
fishing it except for TIVE things--the
prejudice which always prevails in a
country against an enslaved lace, and
! the party capital which in this country
is made ont Of it,
| Such person as Vallandigham, for
insta ice, who comes from Ohio, is in
practical collusion with slavery and its
effort to destroy the Government, merely
| because it serves his political purpose.
The shareholders for many years had
! worked with the Democratic parity
The consequence vas that, to secure the
unanimous slave section, the Demo
cratic party gradually relinquished all
Its fundamental principles, and became
an association for the propagation and
extension of slavery and the annihila-
ton of the safeguards of liberty. The
consequence of this in turn was, that as
the party left its principles the best
Democrats left the party, until at last
the Southern leaders stood in open re-
bellion, and all loyal national Democrats
stood against them.
Those who did not were last summers S
'peace men, These were people who
thought that the Government was, as
Mr. Senator Powell calls it, tyrant and
despot for laying its hand upon it's
enemies. They were the people who
voted in Congress with Breckenridge
and the other open traitors, who staid
because they coSld do most harm by
staying. These are the people who,
upon the hope that the French Govern
ment has indirectly threatened recog-
nition of the rebellion, call loudly with
Vallandigham for the correspondence
that the traitors may be encouraged by
it. They are the men who would like
to see Self. Davis, reeking with the
blood of thousands of loyal citizens,
marching into the White House: who
rejoiced over Bull Run: who are aghast
at Pea Ridge, Donelson, and Newbern:
who would gladly shut, by any means,
the mouths of men vino expose the true
source and aim of this infamous re-
bellion: and who show the spite they
bear to human progress, rational peace,
and the civilization Of liberty, by op-
posing every measure which aims to cut
the fangs of slavery.
Meanwhile those measures are sure to
be taken, aud they will cut the fangs of
these gentry at the same time.

Farmers Business Papers.

The Editor of the Ashtab bula Sentinel
gives his farmer subscribers a good les
son on keeping their papers in a come
atable shape, substantially as follows:
To any one who is familiar with the
way in which many farmers and me-
chanics preserve their papers, it is a
matter of astonishment that they can
find anything g, to say nothing of the pa
per they are looking for. We have had
considerable collecting to do among
farmers, and candidly think that not
one in hundred keep their papers on
file. a- "a -ss .......-

paid. for our pocket has had an ''aching
void" these many years. After explain
ing several times over, the exact state
of the account, we request his last re-
ceipt Now comes the tug of war. He
takes out his .pockct booh-fat with pa
pers ofaall kinds, which have accumu-
lated for months, and begins the search
Each paper is folded up separately, into
squares Of about two inches. Tax re
ceipts are alw; Us on hand; these are
opened-shut up-put back and in a
moment opened again and again put
back. Then comes note which he has
paid and put in his pocket book with
out erasing his signature and in case

can payszit over; next comes a note
against his neighbor; then doctors

tie dabs Of paper, all more or less valua-
BILE. After vain search of half an hour
the wife is called in. She remembers
the exact time when the last Sentinel re-
ceipt was brought home, and thinks it
is in an old pocket book that is just as
full as the one now undergoing exami

search commences. AT last the receipt

Worth a TriAs.
In conversation with an intelligent
and reliable iarluer FROM Ohio, day or
two since, the rot in potatoes came up.
He informed us that, for them, q pre-
venta.lve had been found for ths rot in
stored crops. The discovery was purely
accidental, which was this-a friend of
his had large lot Of fine potatoes which
he placed in barrel for storing away
Not having enough -four barrels he
nsed two salt barrels, (such as the New
York works pack salt iu) and on open
ing the -four barrels he found that
nearly all Of his potatoes had rotted,
whilst those packed in salt barrels were
sound and good. Not satisfied with
one accidental trial, be used more salt
barrels the aext season and found the
result the same. He made known the
result to some of his friends and their
trials proved the preventative proper
ties Of tue salt to their satisfaction
Our friend informed us that instead of
using barrels he puts his potatoes in a
cool cellar, in beds about nine inches
thick, on which he sprinkles one quart
Of salt to six bushels Of potatoes. This,
he says will efectually prevent rot. 1t
is certainly worth trial. Il has thus
far prevented serious loas, aud ban
ished the disease in stored crops.
