Democratic Professions.

Many of the Democratic Journals
close their articles Of rejoicing over
the Democratic successes in the rec-
ent elections by expressing a desire
for the vigorous prosecution of the
war. We can read with composure
their articles which end with so patri-
otic a wish. We are willing to over
look the fact that the delays COM
planned of by these papers as indica-
tive Of Republican inefiiciency. have
taken place under Democratic Sec
retary of War and a Democratic Com
mander-in-Chief and a large proper
tion of Democratic generals, whom
the President has been hurrying to the
best of his ability ever since the war
commenced.
We are ready to overlook the fact
that notorious delays were caused by
the protests aud appeals of Mr.. Lin
coins political opponents in the bor-
der slave States. We are willing to
waive for the time the consideration
OF the notorious fact that, in Difference
to the wishes ofthesc very Democrats
who now complain of his unsucccss-
lnl conduct of the war, we neglected
for months to avail ourselves of the
aid which we could derive from a prop
er use OF the negroes, and allowed the
rebels to have undisturbcd use of
them while, as Richmond paper
says, every negro on the plantation f.
kept one southern soldier in the field. |
Let that pass, if these Democratic or
gans are willing to urge vigorous
prosecution of the war That is what
we want above all things else.
In what way those Democratic vic !
tories are to conducc to this end we
have not been able to see. But we
are ready, and more than ready, to
see new vigor infused into our gener-
:. ...-s-.-------- !, !
Democrats accomplish tiff they Sc
cure us new victorics--to them shall |
the need of praise be rendered. But
are they quite sure that the Woods
and the Aliens whom they have elect
ed will really effect the object they
profess to have so much at heart

EDUCATION POLITICS.

Two weeks since we spoke of the
eeRgq Of EdReatien Which We con:
his part when called upon to enter up
on the active duties of life, whether
of a private or public character we
wish at the present time to say few
words upon the Importance of cduca.
tion as connected with politics. New
er before in the history of our nation
has the necessity of popular cduca-
tion been so forcibly presented to the
minds Of the people. The existing
rebellion, which is desolating SO many
once happy homes, and spreading its
malign influence over the civilized
world, although it had its rise among
intelligent and educated, though un-
principled aud aspiring demagoSues,
could have taken root only among a
people where the masses were in ig-
norancc, and if we would prevent the
recurrence of like state Of affairs in
the future, we must have an cnlight-
ened, educated public sentiment de-
veloped throughout the land.
In monarchical governments it may
be policy on the part of the rulers to
keep the people in ignorance, but un-
der a Republican form of government
it is far otherwise with us the very
safety and pcrPetuity of our free in,
stitutions depends upon general intel,
ligence, and capability on the part
of the governed to comprehend the
effect of laws, and rightly judge be-
tween such as are wholesome aud sal.
utary, and such as are prcjudicial to
the interests Of the people.
We had written thus far when our
eye fell upon report of the school
committee of Yarmouth, Mass, in
which reference is made to the topic
under consideration, and SO nearly do
the views expressed correspond with
our own, that we make the following
extract
"A liberal policy in regard to edu
cation is one of the master ideas ot
this country If the rays of the sun
of Intelligence are permitted to shine
fully aud freely upon every grade oi
society if its genial influence is al
lowed full sway over the mind Of ev
cry individual, we may be sure tina
the welfare of our civil institution.
will be more seriously regarded. 4
republican government demands thu
favorable judgment of the governed
in order that it may be enduring
and unless intelligence is given th'
people, which shall open their mind'
to the perception of the substantial
justice upon which the government il
administered, they will be more easil,
allured by the capriciouS complaint
of faction and sedition, and more liza
BILE to be led astray by the cobweb 0
dclusions of enthusiasm and supersti
ton. A substratum Of ighoranc
may form a good baisis upon which 1
found a government which shall hav
for its prominent feature a tyrannica
aristocracy but if the real blessing
of civil and religious liberty are d.
sirable, and government capable {
perpetuating them is to be establishe
upon Democratic principles, it must b
through the instrumentality Of gel
eral intelligence among all classes ,
the people"

The Demand for Gold.

Exports of produce and merchan-
disc were shipped from the port of
New York last week to the amount Of
four millions two hundred and eighty
seven thousand dollars. Though this
is slightly below the mark of the two
preceding weeks-when the exports
aggregated over ten millions--it is
still nearly million advance of the
exports of the corresponding week
last year. At the same time imports
are decreasing. Thus, while the
heavy expectation of our domestic
products, to pay for the stocks sent

Our Dead in Battle. .

ihey sleep where the cannons loud roaring was heard
They rest where the battle smoke rose
They slumber far down meath the waters blue surge
Or in the calm forest repose.
Though the battle smoke rises the death bullet sings
And fame hovers DER where they bled,
While the hoarse cannon roars the red sabre rings
Are felt not, heard not, by the dead.
And OIL all the living with dread,
Tho the wind whistle shrl or blue fires light the gloom
They're seen not, heard not, by the dead
Then there let them rest, their warfare is o'er:
Weep not that they thus nobly fall;
They'll heed not the war-cry they'll suffer no more
Farewell gallant soldiers farewell

ECONOMY IN HOUSEKEEPING,

In housekeeping careless woman
can always make "a muss, and keep
one but there is no article more cal
culated to make confusion, or wherein
more waste is involved in its use than
-four, both before and after being
baked. Careless handling, sitting or
spilling the flour, careless mixing,
throwing away the bits of dough, i'm
stead of working them into the bread,
cake, or biscuit Most women put up
their pan or tray covered with dough,
and the rolling PIN and kucading board
in like condition. Now, if you ever
calculate to get Off that dongh, why
not do II when you mix, while it is
soft :? As you finish up your bread
or biscuit, or cake loaf you can rub it
off with your hands, or with spoon,
and work it all in, and put away
your things all clean, ready for anoth-
er time. Do not plead the want Of
time, and that you "can't take the
trouble" &c. Do it in the right time,
and it is done. Ten to one, when you
wish to mix again you will be in haste
and your time precious then you
take knife and dig your pan to
pieces, and scrapc your board, pin,
&c, and run to the swili pail with it.
O, its but little of course it is
But all these Titles every day or two,
besides the loss of time, are wasteful,
and if you had to earn these Titles
YOU would sooner tind it out, am
thinking And if in every department,
under your supervision you are thus
regardless of trifles, you are poor
economist, and far from model house
keeper, wherever you are or what
ever you think.
And then, the bite of bread that
many throw away, and many of them
made by careless cutting Of the loaf,
haggling it off one-sided, &C., Cut
true, smooth, and do not throw away
the crust and odd bits left, These

Strength of Character.

You must measure the strength of
man 10y the power of the feelings
he subducs, not by the power of
those which subdue him. And hence
composnre is very often the highest
result of strength. Did we never
see man receive a fragrant insult
and only grow little pale, and then
reply quietly? That is a man spir-
Itually strong. Or did We never see
man in anguish stand, as if carved
out of solid rock, mastering himself?
Or one bearing hopelessly daily
trial remain silent, and never tell the
world what cankcred his home peace 4?
That is strength. He who, with
strong passions, remained chastc he
who, kcenly sensitive, with manly
powers of Indignation in him, can be
provoked, and yet restrain himself,
and forgive these are the strong
men, the spiritual heroes.
