There are always differences of opinion
among men. 1nthc great struggle through
which our couutryis passing, there Is me-
cessarily great variety of views enter
tanned. The people are very apt, under
snch circumstances, to be perplexed by the
multiplicity of ideas which are thrown
among them. They sometimes find L DIM
cult to define their own views, OF to de.
termine clearly to which party they ought
to adhere. A few plain words about the
parties Of our country, and their princl-
Piles, may be in place while the preparation
for the Fall election Is going forward. we
have nothing TO say now about the parties

tions peculiarly their own.
The people Of the North are divided into
two great parties-the Republicans (noV

The Nation and its Preservers.


II w5 rIgnTly understand the position
now taken by the, Democratic politicians,
it is one of the most extraordinary ever
assumed by great political party. They
would have us believe that they are as
anxious for the preservation of the Union
as we are; that their course only indicates
opposition to unlawful usurpation of pow
er, and o legal combination to triumph at
the polls and substitute a Democratic ma
tiona1 administration for that of Mr.. Lin
they cannot deny that when the Demo.
cratic administration of Mr.. Buchanan
ended, it handed over to its Republican!
successor country distracted by throes of
rebellion; that the national Treasury had.
been plundered by secret agents of the
rebels, our finances were apparently in
volyed in hopeless ruin the arsenals of
the country stripped of their arms and
munitions of war; the forts on the Southst
ern coast seized, and the cotton States arr
rayed in open revolt. All this was the
natural result OF the policy pursued by
the Democratic party. 1t had paudered to
southern fanaticism year after year, in
order to make use of it as a means of
reaching power. 1t had heightened the
clamor against theaabolition of slavery
eulogized Slavery itself, and given toithe
southern fanatics a northern aid without
which they would have been powerless.
In the end, when his Northern faction
was no longer able to lift the South into
power, its counsels misled the cotton States
| into rebellion; for it cannot be doubted
that the rebels expect the Northern Demo.
Gratis to aid them by q demonstration in
their favor at eSNorth, and that many
leading Democratic politicians at the North
are ptivy to all the steps taken by the rebel
leaders, SO that in point of fact the revolt
iwould never have happened had not the
country been led forward to the brink of
the precipice, by designing Democratic pol
iticians. - ~
Il was in this condition that President
Lincoln found the republic when he was
Iinaugurated. We had no army, no navy,
no money in the treasury, no credit, no
revenue system, NO provision whatever for
Injecting the emergency. No appropria-
tions had been made TO; suppress insur-
rsctinn, no authority given to raise forces,
i no laws OF any kind passed to give effect

An IncIdent Of The War.

The Vicksburg correspondence of the Gin
cinnsti Gazette relates the following, Of
recent occurrence:
"A wife who dWelt in the West, beyond
the lakes, whose husband is an officer in
the army, had not heard from him for some
weeks. Two small boys were with him,
their only ones. While she sat at home
reading a paper, her eyes fell upon a no
lice of the death Of her husband. All the
tenderness Of q mothers love, all the
strength Of a wifes devotion, nerved her
to start Immediately for her children, and
clasp them to widowed heart. Day after
day passed, how slowly, let mother tell !;
how tedious, let widow speak who knows
her idol broken in a distant land. Two
weeks we're past ere she reached Vicks-
burg. Three days on q ssndbsr What
torture At last she reached the hoped
for city. As the bOst neared the wharf
she looked at the crowd, and saw her two
boys upon ponies aud beside them the
father and husband. One long, piercing
cry of joy filed the air; the husband few,
rather than ran, and took the lifeless form
in his arms. II was too much of joy for a
heart overohargsd with grief. The strings
snapped and reason tottered for time, to
fall, in TWO days, to the sleep Of death"

Prognostics ofa European war continue

that Russia is making gigantic prepsra-

come to sudden end He has TOO many
complications, too many powerful enemies
within and without France, TO be a mo-

the Imperial Throne of France will go

to so feel the pressure Of events. that in
stead Of menaees, he now has the olive
branch for the United States. The truth
is NapoleOn, in the preseEt OODjunoture,
dare not meet the hazards Of war. He
will sooner withdraw his troops from

From France we have no more to fear,

Judge Harris wss for many years a we'll
known citizen of Canton, Stark county,
in this State. He represented the district
in the Legislature, and was the first Clerk
Of the Stark county Common Pleas Court.
He also held the position of Associate
Judge. In 1857 he removed to Nebraska
Territory, and although at an advanced
age, he prsoticed his profession in Omaha
City, where he won many friends. His
remains were brought to Canton last week
and inferred. A meeting of the Bar in
Canton Was called, attended by large
COncourse Of citizens, his old neighbOrs
and friends. Judge Belden made speech
on the occasion, and in speaking of his
many virtues he closed as follows:

useful to his fellow men, you can point to

The peIaware Election.

WILMINGTON, November 10.
The election in this State passed off qui-
etly. The COpperhsads, seeing defeat star
ing them in the face, abandoned the con-
test. Brown did not withdraw, but the
leaders, knowing they would be compelled
to proclaim themselves loyal men in order
to vote, gave the key note for the whole
party to stay at home. Smithers walked
the course. Newcastle gives Smithers
LOLA votes, aud Brown six votes. In six
districts of Kent county, Smithers has
l,275 votes, Brown none. In five districts
of Sussex county, Smithers has s44 votes,
and Brown seven votes, showing 8 gain for
Smithers over Fishers vote of last year in
