That party should dare in this hour of the
country's agony and shame, to arise and
propose such dishonor, shows how far
political corruption and debasement had
gone among our public men. These old
party hacks, these caucus tricksters, these
Democrats Of the Olden time, who lived in
subserviency to slave-masters, forget that a
new age has appeared-an era of courage
and manliness and patriotism-and so they
venture to stand up again and air their
baseness and cowardice before, what they
suppose credulous and Indifferent audience.

The Northern Traitors.

An eloquent historian and statesman, in
his reply to the loyal citizens Of the Eighth
District OF New York City, requesting his
consent to nomination to Congress, wrote
the following memorable words.
II will not give vote for any man whose elec-
tion would be an encouragement 10 the Rebellion to
hold ont. ], for one, ,oiH not consent to send eur
sons and brothers to the battle field and then bstray
them at the polls"
These pointed words ofan old Democrat
ic leader should be at the head of every
election notice and advertisement in this
campaign. They convey the whole issue
between the Union party and the Seymour
party. One upholds the government the
other attacks it One supports the army,
and offers up its sons aud brothers for the
country's sake; the other would betray
them to the enemy; one suppoats the finan-
cial credit of the country; the other weak
ems it. While a barbarous rebellion is des-
olating ten thousand homes while treason
is writing her terrible records in tears and
blood over a continent while our friends
are murdered treacherously by guerrillas,
and fire and havoc sweep over peaceful
loyal districts these men, calling them
selves "loyal citizens" have the audacity to
rise up and excuse these enormities and
plead the wrongs of the rebels, and urge
the giving up of all for which we have
struggled. While our brave fellows-our
kinsmen and friend-are writhing in hos
pitfalls or exposed to bullet and shell, or Civ
ing up property and lives for the cause of
the Union, these pitiful demagogues would
weaken them by attacking the National
cause in the rear.
Fancy any suOh party appearing in a
Southern State urging Northern wrongs.
How long would it be before their leaders
would swing high for such treasoni If our
foreign enemies have ever believed in the

AMERICAN GENTILITY.
In European countries (says r. W. Hig-
ginsOn) the aim at anything like gentility
implies keeping one or more domestics to
perform household labors but in our free
States every family aims at gentility, while
not one in five keeps domestic. The aim
is not a foolish one, though tollies may ac-
company it-for the average ambition of our
people includes a certain amount of refined
cultivation it is only that the process is
exhausting. Every woman must have a
best parlor, with hair-clOth furniture and Il
Photographic book; she must have piano
or some cheaper substitute her little girls
must have embroidered skirts and much
mathematical knowledge; herhllsband must
have two or three hot meals every day of
his life; and yet her house must be i'll per-
feet order early in the afternoon, and she
prepared to go out and pay calls, with a
black silk dress and card case In the eve
ming she will go to concert or q lecture,
and then at the end of all, she will very
possibly sit up after midnight with her sew
ing-machine, doing extra shOpwOrk to pay
for little Elias music lessons. All this
every g capable" New England woman will
do, or die She doesit, and dies and then
we are astonishcd that her vital energy

BY CHARLES FENNo HoFFMAN.

Light as loves smiles, the silvsry mist at morn,
Floats in loose fakes along the Iimpid river;
The blucbird's notes upon the soft breeze borne,
As high in air he carols, family quivcr;
The weeping birch, like banners idly waving,
Bends to the stream, its spicy branches laving:
Beaded with dew, the witcll.em's tasses shver
The timid rabbit from the fnrz is peeping,
And from the sprinSy spray the squirrels gay leap
ing.
love thee, Autumn, for thy scenery ere
The blasts of winter chase the varied dyes
That richly deck the slow declining year;
love tho sPlcndor of thy sunset skies,
The gorgeous hues that tinge each falling leaf,
Lovely as beautys cheek, as wonans love too brief
love the note of each wild bird that flies,
As on the wing he pours his parting lay,
And wings his lettering flight. to summer climes
away.
o, Nature still fondIy turn to thee,
With feelings fresh Ger my childhood's were
Though wild and passion tossed my youth may be,
Toward thee l still the same devotion bear;
To thee-to ihee-though health and hops no more
Life's wasted verdurc may TO me restore
still can, chila-like, come as when in PRAYER

And deemd the world, like her, all truth and purity

the North with negroes, This assumption
has been rather strangely accepted by those
who ought to know better, and has been
used, only too successfully in some instances,
by demagogues to excite the hostility Of the
ignorant and unthinking portion of our
population against the negroes, whose labor,
it is alleged, would be brought through
emancipation, into damaging and humilia-
ting competition with theirs Now, the
negro, besides being of strong local attach
mcmt, and indisposed to leave the spot
where he was born, is essentially an agri-
culturallst, that is to say, is best adapted for
the simpler varitics of labor on the farm and
the plantation. lie is indisposed to adopt,
even If he have the capacity, mechanical
and other pursuits requiring application and
study, and for that reason, as we'll as from
considerations of climate, of climate, prefers
Southern lattitudes, and plantation life We
are told that of the many thousands of freed
negroes at and around Port Royal, not a
dozen have signifed the least desire to 90
North, or leave the vicinage of their birth.
a strong and conclusive proof of the
truth Of these observations is furnished from
the fact that the free negro population in
| the Slave States is greater than in the Free
States-showing that, Notwithstanding in
the Slave States his rights are more circum-
scribed than in the Free, and that he is
there subjected to most rigorous and Of
| fensive police regulations, the negro still
prefers Southern home In Massachusetts
the negro enjoys equal rights with the white
citizen, is entitled to vote, has free admis-
sion to the schools, etc yet, with all these
advantages, he prefers to live in Maryland,
South Carolina or Louisiana, for, according
to the census, while we find only 9,454
free negroes in Massachusetts, there are
83,7lS in Maryland, 9,G48 in South Carroll
ma, and 1868 in Louisiana.
Taking the country at large, there were,
in 1860, 259,O78 free negroes in the Slave
States, or oneto every 324 white inhabitants ;
and only 222,745 in the Free States, or one
to every IS inhabitants III other ocords, the
free negroes are relatively almost three times as
numerous in the South as in the North
Reason and experience, as we'll as irrref-
ragable statistics, go to show, therefore, that
If emancipation were to become general in
the South, the freed negroes would not emf
CRATE North; but, on the contrary, that the
tedency would be Southwark on the part OF
negroes already in the North.
Such being the case, the man who seeks
to oppose the policy Of the governmet by
dressing up the bugbear Of a. negro invasion,
or who endeavors to excite the laborino
classes to violence under the prctence of a
possible depressing competition between
free negro and white labor, is certainly
either a fool or a demagogue--probably a
traitor and sylnpathizer with the rebellion.
