1t is seldom 9 nation is favored with the |
performances Of such political scrObsts as
have been catering to the public for the
past two weeks in Washington. Monsieur
BlOndon is totally collapsed and must here
after hang his diminished head. The gen.
tlemen whO are now figuring so grace
fully before the nation are by no means
adopts in the arts of Vsuliing, tumbling
gyrating and equilibrating. They are
mostly green hands; and hence their per-
ilous suspension on wire in mid air, both
tragic and comic. They are endeavoring
to accomplish very neat trick, however,
in all Of their preliminary movements. 1t
is merry desirable for the sake Of plunder

The Gazette says the prices of improved
property in that city are about twenty per
cent. in advance Of those current before
the war. This, considering the deprecia-
tion of paper currency, cannot be regarded
as an actual increase in value. The great
advance in labor and building material
has prevented an advance in unimproved
lots. In the country there has been no
advance, except in suburban desirable
residences. some of the best farms Of the
best counties have changed hands at the

THE OoNsTrTUTIoE A BARRIER.

Now the lesson Of to-day is: the eonsti-
tuition TO be thrown up as a barrier. And
that brings me to the second point of the
proclamation Of Mr.. Lincoln. The natur-
al law, which would have saved US, even
without an amendment Of the constitution,
he (tha President) sets aside. He sets aside
the ConasostiOn act. He says all slave
holders, excepting about seven hundred,
may return to their estates, and the State
may then come hack on the vote Of one
tenth into the Union. What does this
mesnP Every man who knows anything
knows that land dictates government If
you hold land, every man his own farm, II
is q democracy; you need not 60 aud ask
the statute book. If few men own the
territory it is an olgsrchy; you need not
ask history. Thirty thousand families
own England; 1t is an oligarchy. Every
Massachusetts farmer owns his house, and
Jefferson Davis, multiplied by millions,
could not make it anything but a democ-
rsey. Daniel Webster said, in 1920, the
the revolution in France has crumbled up
the mobiles estates into small farms: the
throne must either kill them out or they
will kill out the throne. Every man knows
that.
CoNPIsoATE THE LAND or THIS SOUTH AND
GIVE IT TO THE NEGROES AND WHITES.
Now letme cOnfscste the land Of the

OF the Senegal river. His name originally was
"Omeroh," which has gradually been changed into
the French title he now bears. He belonged to the
tribe OF the Fulahs but from which of the various
tons inhabited by this people he came, it is difficult
TO ascertain. There is no doubt however, that he
is the most remarkable of his tribe ever brought to
this country, and is now perhaps the only one of
the nation living in the United States One of the
same was sent back to Africa as early as 1875. by
Oglethorpe; another was ransomed and sent to L.

labs were known in 1856 to be in the limits of the
Southern States.

last year in Fayetteville, refugee from his home,
and during the time though exceedingly feeble in
bodily health he was rarely absent from the house
OF God during worship. Calling to see him on one,

which was his constant companion and he gave
