kT~The Rev, j. G.. Fletcher

SO~Tbe Rev. j. c. Fletcher gave us
last evening, brilliant lecture on the re-
ligion, customs and people of Brazil Sell
dom have we relished anything more than
the picture he laid before his audience of
that exuberant garden of the tropiccs laden
with its strange variety of fruits and flow
ers, teeming with perpetual harvest for the
hand of man. Surely that country must
be the garden Of the world, and if its peo-
pie had the enterprise which moves this
Yankee nation, imagination could not set
bound to the results they would produce
there. AS relevant to this comparison the
Reverend gentleman stated that the best
Remedies employed there for the diseases
to which they are subject, are invented and
supplied to them by our own we'll known
countryman, DR.. j. G. Aver of Lowell.
Mass, and that not the people only but
the priesthood and the court of the EN-
peror down, have constant recourse in
sickness to the Remedies of this widely
celebrated American Chemist. ~ Ledger,

IT Is Nd.-Occasionally some
fellow who has neither the brains nor char.
actsr to gain the position he covets in the
Democratic party, is prompted by motives
of disappointed ambition, and malice, to
seek revenge by joining its political oppo.
nents; and it is amusing to see the fus.
that is made over the new recruits, by those
who have no particular scruples about
names or principles. These hungry seek
ers for position and honor are fed upon
promises a, abundant, and about as SUBJ
stantial as those offered to the Savior on
the mountain. 1t is one thing to promise
and quite another to give,

HEAR AN ABoLITIoNIsT The Boston
Post says, on last Wednesday Wendell
Phillips, one of the notorious abolition
leaders, used the following reasonable
language, in that city
"The Government wants three hun
dred thousand men we must say to him
you cannot have a man or dollar until
You proclaim policy That will open
the eyes of the President and the Cabinet
to the true sentiments Of the North Free
mont has been degraded by the border
States but let us hope that like Charles
the Second, he may die on his rightful
throne"
That's the sort OF support President
Lincoln and the country gets from Eman-
cipationsts 4! And yet General Stone, a
noble officer, remains in Fort Lafayette,
and this brawling traitor of Phillips,
goes at large and thus defes the Govern
ment.

1t is gratifying to find an organ of the

which too many of its party close their
eyes, and boldly denouncing that evil spirit
at the North which would play into the

to aboli'ionize the country. The return
of the veteran Editor of the Journal, will

the sincerity of such professions, Reunion

pudiate as false and slanderous any char

as servant he felt called upon to raise his
voice and stretch out his arms in defence
OF civil and religious liberty. Taking the

Who are Exempt.

AS the order of the President. calling

The CRops.-Many years have passed
since the farmer has secured SO large a
harvcst-not within our recollection has
there been any thing like it. The grain
harvest is not the only part that has paid
the farmer. The hay secured and yet to
be cut will make by far the largest crop
ever before harvested. The promises for
corn could not be better and few rains
through August will fill the cribs to over
flowing. With this heavy crop there is
the prospect of a largo demand from
abroad for our breadstuffs. God has pros.
pered US beyond measure this season, and
the land is tecpipg good. The weather
has been rather unstable for harvesting,
but there is DOW 6ne prospect that the
grain will be secured without loss,

Vallandigham.

Two weeks ago, we had the proud salts.
faction of publishing the great Speech of
this sterling Democrat, delivered recently
before the Ohio State Convention, through
the columns of the COLUMBIA DEMOCRAT.
We were in hopes that some Of the Union
savers and Aboitionists, would detect
treason in Mr.. Vallandigham's Speech, or
at least find some tangible objection to it,
but in this we were disappointed, excepting
faint squeak from few of the rottenest
of the ro'ton negro.worshipping, lawdefy.
ing and Constitution n breaking small-fry
papers Of the country. And not one of
these, so far as we have seen, has ventured
to call Mr.. ". "Breckinridger." Hurry
up boys. Don't tell your readers, that he
said in that Speech, that on the day of the
election he travelled several hundred miles
to vote for STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS.
N. B.-What has become of the late
rumor, that papers had been found upon

LAND1aHAM. Hunt up your "runor,"
boys, swear to it, and keep running the

A Page from the Record.

In 1866 John W. Forncy, now the lea.
der Of the Republican party in Pennsylva-
mia, was Chairman Of the Democratic State
Central Committee, and issued an address
to the people 10 which the following elo-
quent passage occurred
The adversaries of the Democratic par.
ty have dissolved the American Union in
advance, SO far as by their own action they
can consummate that direful result. They
can no longer assemble in national Con-
vcntion; they congregatc as the represcn-
tativcs of fragment of one.half Of our
happy country, and they arrogate to them
selves the mastery Of the other half by at
tempting to consolidate fierce aud fanat-
ical sectional majority in every department
of the Government. hey declare that
the country is on the eve of unpreceden-
ted convulsions, and they proclaim their
purpose to arrest these convusions by ig-
noring and insulting fifteen sovereign
States of the Union. They talk Of peace,
aud in their conventions proclaim policy
sohich must end IN ciUa ,oar. They ap-
peal to Heaven to sanctify a movement,
which if successful, ,couid destroy the fair.
est fabric Of freedom on the globe. They
invite our countrynen to support their
cause in the midst Of the most irreverent
blasphemies of the Constitution. They
prate of exclusive Americanism, while
they accept as leaders, men who profanc
the sages Of the past with inconceivable CO.
lumines. They do not attempt to conceal
the fearful end which, should they succeed
must crown their efforts. True to the his
tory of all sectional parties, they unite
men not by lovo of country but by ha-
tired of National principles. Their bond
of action is sympathy of antagonisms-
not harmony of patriotic sediments;
and to consummate their purposes they
would sacrifice every great material in
terests of society. They have already sue.
ceeded in dividing the christian church,
and now they would lay their hands upon
the bulwarks of our liberties, they wouM

ders: and they would erect at Washington
on sectional despotism whose presiding
diyinitics would be hostility to the equal.
ty of the States and the equality of the cit.
izens, and relentless war upon the domes-
tic institutions of the South"
Such was the picture Mr.. Forney
drew of tn Republican party-such the
eloquent prophesies he uttered. He is
now one of the very worst class of men he
execrated in 1856. He would "wrest the
Constitution from the glorious purpose to
which it was dedicated by its founders"
and erect a despotism to destroy liberty of
speech and Of the press. He invokes "re.
lentless war upon the domestic institutions
of the South" and publishes Uncomfortable
calumnies" against every prominent de-
fender Of constitutional liberty. He has
photographed his own features with fault
less accuracy.
