The Democratic Party.

In this dark hour of cur coun,ry's trou-
bles. when foes at home and abroad aro
exhausting their energies to destroy tho
Constitution, and render perpetual tho
separation Of the States, their is yet loft
hope, that hope is the re.instalmont of
conservative and constitutional party
IN power. The party now ruling are ma
King gigantic efforts to crush the Demo-
cratic organization. A large majority of
the Administration party; fearful Of To-
sing their tenure to power, seek to make
1t more secure by widening the existing
breach between the States. The Consti.
tntlon is barrier in the way and regard
less OF the allegiance they owe to it. thew
are endcavoring to bear it down. They
know that the principles Of the Democrat
ic party are based upon that compact,
aud in the fall Of one they expect to SEQ
the extinction Of the other. They think
that the life Of the Democratic party can
not survive that of the Constitution. and
hence they sicze every OPT ortunity for its
violation, and are tireless in their efforts
for its notification. They have muzzled
the Democratic press, and imprisoned our
leaders, have forestalled free speech, and
attempted to awe us into inaction. They
now tell us that to maintain our party or
ganization is treason. All this should
only convince men Of the absolute neces-
sity Of the continuance of our par Y; of
the necessity Of preserving the constitu-
tion, through a party devoted to its prin-
ciples.
Let Democrats an1 conservative men
unite in their efforts to huri from power
those who hate the Union, and disregard
the constitution. That there are thousands
Of loyal citizens in the South who would
use their efforts to bring their
States back into the Union il in conser-
vative hands, there can be no doubt; and
it is equally certain that this same class
of men will not raise their hands to re-
turn under an administration, which ac-
no constitution. Why then
should we hazard the interest of the
and the prospect of reunion Of
States, by maiut aiming in power party
which will prevent it. This war may be
prolonged for years, thousands OF lives
may be sacrificed, and our poverty if pos
sible be made poorer. This expenditure
Of blood and treasure will certainly be
curtailed by change of Administration.
Then why not persue course, SO sure to
tighten our burdens and restore peace and
prosperity to our troubled land

The RccOil OF Negro sympathy.

There is observable in these days an
effect of the Abolition movement which
does not promise well for the future TEN
poral welfare of the negro. While pros.
ecuting so earnestly their schem es for re-
leasing the Southern negro from the share
Of toll allotted to him, they have been
unminoful that by their exertions senti-
ment more than ever hostile to the black
race is created in the North. The aboli.
zionist, ifpossesscd Of any true philanthro-
py, would begin 20 consider now whether
this nnfriendly sentiment so rapidly
changing from prejudice to positive hate,
in its effects upon the free blacks of the
North, is not likely to outweigh all the
advantages to be derived from an anti
slavery crusade. Not only is the in olence
of the free blacks now becoming more Of
fensive, but the feeling of jealousy which
begins to pervale the laboring classes,
from the fear Of negro competition, forms
an element destined to operate henceforth
with unwonted power. The Abolitionists
apparently, are in this way forging a
weapon that may recoil on their own
heads with stunning effect, and involve
them, and the unfortunate objects of their
labors in ruin.-7He Con. Union.

At last she reached the cottage of Hen.

bare, nothing but bed Of straw, and
broken table, made mp the furniture, and
little hungry faces peeped from every

was given to the hungry, clothing to the

How Indigo is Prepared.

The indigo is a shrnb-liko plant. two
or three feet high, with delicate blue green
leaves, which at the harvest time--about
the month Of AuSust-are cut close off
to the stem, tied into bundles. and laid
into great wooden tubs Planks are then
laid on them, and great stones to cause
a pressure, and then water is poured over
thom, and after day or two the liquor
begins to lerment. In this process Of
fermentation lies the principal difficulty,
and every thing depends on allowing it
to continue just the proper time. When
the water has acquired dark green color
it is pourd off into other tubs, mixed
with lime, and stirred with wooden Shov-
els till blue deposite separates itself
from the water, which is then allowed to
run off. The remaing substance, the in
digo. is then put into linen bags. through
which the moisture filters, and as soon
as the indigo is dry and hard, it is broken
into pieces and packed up. Indigo is
cultivated in the East Indies to consid-
cradle extent.

What a Lawyer can DO.

Gov. S---was splendid lawyer, and
could talk a jury out of their senses
He was especially noted for his success in
criminal cases, almost always clearing
his client. He was once counsel for
man accused for horse stealing. He
made a long, eloquent, and touching
speech. The jury retired but returned in
few moments, and with tears in their
eyes. proclaimed the man not guilty
An old acquaintance stepped up to the
prisoner and said : "Jem, the danger is
past and now, honor bright. didn't you
steal that horse?" To which Jem re-
replied "Well, Tom, all along I've
thought took that horse but since I've
heard the governors speech, / don't d0-
Leve I did,"

1t was the holy Sabbath evening
The sun fingered In the west, casting
A radiant halo far around and above,
Till one fancied the gates of the heavenly
City thrown wide open, and its beauty
And brightness cleaning down upon us.
Far as the eye could reach, shone the
Tents of the Northern legions, and from
Them, borne on the gentle wind; came
The voice of one whose years had not
Yet reached a score, Bit whose feet were
Entering the Valley Of Death, telling of
Hopes bhghted; anticipations never to be
realized,
And all the old sad tale of Azraels
And must die slowly my breath COMES
now
And deaths chill dews are gathering on my
brow.
Around my heart feel the subtle touch
OF his cold ley fingers. Oh how much
! long for but moments sight Of those
Best loved ones, ere seek the graves reposs.
Oh it is hard to die in Iife's fair spring
With h6nor's path before me opening,
How fondly have dreamed to win a nainB,
Hnd Tffs51c pEoess9 df -is.z1o
With those who deemed it, m the years gone
For home and country, sweet and beautiful,
to die.
Oh, cOmrades-brOthB Bfs gather closer round
Nv bed, and let me hear again the sound
Ofvour kind voices, ere / start upon
The path so many of our boys have gone.
Like they, and /, Oh may you never know
of diving far from h6ihe the utter, utter woe.
An, well twill soon be past The bitter
blow
Is iEss6ning now and round me soft and
low,
Float sounds of sweet angelic harmony.
The opening gates Of Paradise | see,
While those dear ones, Who've crossed the
streain before,
Stand waiting, watching for me, on the 9th
er shore:
You'll tell my mother, boys, when you get
home,
/ thought 5f her, amid deaths gathering
glooiIi,
NV sisters, too, tell them wait them there
Where coItEs no war nor parting pain nor
care,
And father, not to mourn my short race fun,
That many other fathers weep for other sons.
There, that is all. Now, boys, last farewell,
Well meet again, how soon, we cannot tell,
For the last tittie the south wind fans my
broWi
Sweet peacg and oaifiness steal upon me now,
How light it Sr6ws see the further shore
With all the shining hosts. There, boys we
part no more.

A French story.

In 1863, gentleman was passing late at
night over Hont Neuf, Paris with alantsrn.
A man came up to him and said:
Read this paper"
He held up the lantern and read as follows:
,'Speak not word when this you've read,
Or in an instant you'll be dead
Give us your money, watch and rings,
With other valuable things
Then quick in silence, you depart,
Or /, with knife will cleave your heart"
Not being man of much pluck, the
affrightod gentleman gave up his watch and
money, and ran off. He soon gave alarm,
and the highwayman was arrested.
What have you to say for yourself ?"
inquired the magistrate Before whoth the
robber was arranged.
"That am not guilty Of the robbery,
thotgh l took the.watch and money"
"Why not guilty =? asked the magistrate
Simply because can neither read n5f

politely asked him to read it for ME. He
complied with my request, and presently
handed me his watch and purse and ran off.
I supposed the paper to be of great value to
him, and that he thus literally rewarded me
for finding it. he gave me no time to return
thanks which act Of politeness I was ready
to perform.
The gentleman accepted the plea Of the
robbet, and withdrew his complaint.

Maliciou, Meanness.

An unfavorable slough may be got up
in a rural district, by a man who combines
caution with m~alignity. and all in such a
way that you cannot lay hold of the mali
cious but cautious man. Let us suppose a
new doctor is coming to the village. You,
the old doctor, may goab0ut the village and
beg the people to try to receive him ciyilly;
he may not be such a bad man after all
The truth probably is hat nobody suppo-
ses him a bad man, or intends to receive
him otherwise than civi ly; but in a few
days judiciously spent may excite a preiu-
dice which it will-take some time to allay.
Some one speaks in praise of an acquain-
tance. You may reply in a hesitating way,
''Yes. he is rather a nice fellow; but-well,
l don't want to say anything bad of any
one."
In this way you have not committed
yourself, but you have given a worse i'm
preston than you could prObobly have con-
veyed by any definite charge you could have
made against the man. Honest and man
ly folks may possibly call you a sneak
What do you care? Some muscular chris
tian may kick you. In that case you will
have the comfort of knowing that IL IN
questionably serves you right-Rev. a.

~Seasonable Hints.

SOFT SOAP y TOBAeCo wATER.-A
mixture of soft soap and strong tobacco
water, made of the consistency of thin
paint, and washed over the bodies of trees
with a brush Will, in a great measure,
prevent insects from depOsiting their eggs
beneath the bark.
Look TO Your GRAFTs.-Grafts should
be carefully looked over at this season; all
the natural buds rubbed off; the banding
of the graft lOose-el and re-tied; and if
two or more buds are growing and one ap-
pears weakly, rub it off, and let the strong
bud or shoot have all the food.
LOOK WELL TO Your GARDEys.-Take
every opportunity to remove weeds. Thin
out, whenever plants are too close to each
other. Much is often LOST by making two
plants grow in a space large enough for
one only. Loyk over seed beds, and if
there are any failures, re SOW Immediately.
The rains of last week will have started
nearly all the seeds put in previously.
