and are not afraid of their cnmity, con
trary to their fanatical principles are stamp
ed with the debasing epithet of treason,
disuniouism, and cooperation with the
rebels and secessionists of the Cotton
States. How do they attempt to prove
thisl BY no way of honesty can they.
Stamped as they have the work Of de-
mocracy, | see not how they can win TO
their ranks single voter. Many there
are in the ranks of their party who do
not claim to be abolitionists. This class,
in this country, particularly, are now, |
think, ready to admit the necessity of act-
ing with the only party that has for their
motto, first and last, "the constitution
and laws as they are" believing that this
is the best government the sun ever shone
upon-The National Democratic Party.
Whoever reflects on the course of politi-
cal events, since the breaking out of this
war, must admit the fact that the present
Administration has been more generally
and promptly sustained by the democra-
cy than the party to which it owes its ele-
walton thereto. Now, think, from obser-
walton, of the paper published in this
county, it lacks all the essential elements
pertaining to loyalty. To prove this l
take from its editorial column, in the
month of February last, the following Ian
guage:
"The idea that there is any ultraism
or extravaganza in doing justice by giving
n man his birthright, his freedom, is rs
absurd as it is for calling a man an ultra
ist for being honest. And just as absurd
would it be to condemn tho radicalism of
common schools in the North, as the rad
icalism of emancipation in the South
Both are carrying out the bible doctrines
into the political concerns of life-the do
ing unto others rs we would they should
do unto us, were we in their condition.
4 Without emancipation educa-
ton can never become universal in this
country"
l ask you, gentlemen, what the demo-
cratic press have said to the people of
this country the half as reasonable as this 7
When have they ever asked for the VIC
lation of fundamental national law for
the sake of party preservation9 When
did they ever assume that the constitu-
ton was not broad enough to carry out
an honest" WARP When did our party
organ in this county or State contend that
the constitution taught us infdelity and
dishonesty9 When did the democratic
press, local or of the State, ever make the
assertion that the constitution does not
establish justice9 Never have their col
umns been tainted with So reasonable
language, aud unbecoming assertions
Manliness and q common sense of duty,
if nothing else, should deter any Ameri-
can editor from making such slanderous
and unbecoming assertion of our govern
ment, its principles and aims. The next
time the editors of the Clarion unsheath

GENERALS Halleck and Dix treat the
contraband" question wisely. They
will not permit slaves TO come within their
lines. They will have nothing to do with
them. The negroes may do what they
please, or their masters please, or 90
where they please, or where their masters
please to send them. If they choose to
stay on the plantations, outside of the
Federal lines, and work and eat rs usual,
they may do it, If they choose to do
otherwise, it is no concern of the military
commanders. In this way Generals Dix
and Halleck have avoided all the embar-
rassment which will surely come upon
those commanders who have undertaken
to look after the negroes. We have seen
the interesting question suggested whether,
if the government should take upon it
self the care of the contrabands," and
compel them to labor, the proceeding wo'd
not be-slavery. Let the government
take care that it does not in any case pos
sess itself of an elephant Chicago

In looking over some statistics of the
copper mines Of the Lake Superior re-
gion, we find that the population of the
two counties of Houghton and Ontona-
gon in 1854 was 1885, aud the produc-
ton of ingot copper was 1,4ss tons, val
ued at S495,2Oo. In 1860 the popula-
ton was 1880, and the production of
ingot copper was 5000 tons, worth $2,-
100000, equal to $l75,20 to each indi-
vidual. The increase in six years is thus
exhibited to be, in population, about "a
per cent, in production and value 80 per
cent.

puts the difference in policy in the two

rebels fuel with which to feed the treason

jackson, Congress recognized its duty tc

Sensible Talk,

The following extract from Il speech Of
Hon. Horacs Maynard, union member
of Congress from Tennessee is Just such
talk as democrats in the north indulge in.
But there are men in our midst who say
that they ought not to be allowed to ut

not Union man there is not one in the

The Art OF Swimming.

Men are drowned by raising their arms
above water, the unbuoyed weight of
which depresses the head. Other ami
mails have neither motion nor ability to
act in similar manner. and therefore
swim naturally. When a man falls into
deep water he will riso to the surface, and
will continue there if he dose not elevate
his hands. If he moves his hands under
the water in any way he pleases, his head
will rise SO high as to allow him free lib.
erty to breathe; and il ho will nse his
legs as in walking Cor rather of walking
up stairs his shoulders will rise above
tho water SO that ho may use the less
exertion with his hands, apply them To
other purposes, These plain directions
arc recommended to the recollection OF
those who have not learned to swim in
their youth, as they may be found highly
advantageous in preserving life,
