At Their old Game.

The Abolition press is at its old game Of try
ing to prejudice the public mind against our
Irish and German fellow-citizens, by charging
upon them the rotous proceedings in New York
and other cities of the Union. Why they do
this is easily understood The Irish and Ger
mans, as general thing are Democrats, having
fled from tyranny in the old world to enjoy lib
erty in the new, and it would be passing strange
indeed if they did not fraternize with that po-
litical party here which has always been the
friend OF freedom and equality. But that they
as body, are more disorderly or riotous than
other portions of our citizens, or that they are
less warmly attached to the Union than the ma
tive born, we utterly deny. On the contrary,
they are industrious and frugal, and thousands
of them have sealed their devotion to our free
institutions with their hearts blood on the blood
battlefield of this and every other war in
which the country has been engaged.
1t will not do, therefore, for the adherents OF
the present National Administration to attempt
a revival of the defunct and exploded Know
Nothing party of l854-5. Nor will it do to
charge our Catholic fellow citizens with being
lawless and riotous, in view of the Native A.
merican riots in 1914 which disgraced Phila-
delphia. Those who live in glass houses should
be careful not to throw stones, is the old adj
age, and it would be well if our Abolition op.
ponents would profit by the lesson. We are
opposed to every species of mob law and vio-
lence come from what quarter they may; but

THE Only Hope Left.

1t is 4satifying to every intelligent patriot to
see howFhe conservative men of every former
politicaIa Iafiation are abandoning old antagon-
isms, ana uniting heart and hand with the
Demoelhtic party as the only one by whose
principks and whose numbers the country can
be savek from the remediless ruin which the
fanaticfof the North and the South have in
voked tpon it.
Mr.. EEo.S. HILuARD, of Boston, one of the
most accomplished men of his time, a friend
Webstdrand of Choate, Wing of the straight
est sect and patriot the purest, in his letter
to the Academy of Music meeting, recently
held in New York, uses this significant Lam
guage II
81 hEye never been member of the Demo-
| cratic liarty, but am convinced that there is
| now nd Hope of ending this deplorablc war and
restoring the Union but by and through that
party
Andthe Hon. JOEL PARKER, formerly Chief
Justiceof the Supreme Court of New Hamp-
shire, and now sitting in the chair of Story,
who pnEaces his letter with similar statement,
that he has 'snever been member of the Dem
ocraticlparty'-though honored by that party
with high places, in the belief that he was con-
scientieusy desirous of sustaining and enforc-
| ing sogndprinciples of constitutional and muni-
cipal l,w-says in similar letter to the New
Hampshire people:
'Mpst assuredly, | do at this time deeply and
! cordially sympathize with the Democracy in
| their efforts to maintain the Constitution, to
preserve the rights of free speech, the liberty
of the press, personal freedom from arbitrary
arrest and imprisonment, and the supremacy Of
the civil law in all places not occupied by the
forces of the Union for the prosecution of the
war. Legitimate martial law cannot exist in
places where there is not only no war, but no
troops for the prosecution of the war. What
is SO called, and is attempted to be enforced a:
| smarial law in such places is merely the ex
ercise of arbitrary power, without any warrant
of law whatever

The Public Debt.

That portion Of the National Debt which is
represented by bonds and notes is telegraphed
from Washington to have been. on the 1st Of
July, within small fraction of ELEVEN
HUNDRED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
But this does not embrace any of the claims
for which mere certificates of indebtedness have
been issued, nor any part of the very large a.
mount due on every variety of claims against
the Government, adjusted and unadjusted, due
and maturing. All these doubtless amount to
several hundred millions more, and, altogether,
they form any thing else than pleasing refec-
tion to the taxpayers of the country. If the
war continues another year, the public debt
will be at least 1too Thousand Millions Of Dol
iarsl-Who can begin to realize the immensity
of this sum, and how is it ever to be paid p

Attempt TO Sound the Niagara River,

The gentleman who has been trying the ex-
pertinent Of sounding the river Niagara below
the Falls writes as follows sAnother attempt
was made with similar iron of about ten
pounds weight, attached to No. 3 wire, all
freely suspended, SO as not to impede the fall
of the weight. then let the weight fall from
the bridge, at the height of 225 feet. 1t struck
the surface fairly, with the point down, must
have sunk to some depth, but was no longer out
of sight than one second, when it made its ap-
pearance again on the surface, about one hundred
feet down the stream and skipped along like a
chip until it was checked by the wire. We
then commenced hauling in slowly, which made
the iron bounce like ball, when cake of ice
struck it and ended the SPORT am satisfied
that no metal has sufficient specific gravity to
pierce that current, even with momentum of
225 feet The velocity of the iron when stri-
king must have been 124 feet per second, and
consequently its momentum was 5000 pounds.
Its surface exposed to the current, was about
so superficial inches. This will give an idea oi
the strength of the current, and at the same
time hint at the Titan forces that have been
at work to scoop out the bed of the Niagara
river"

AN AcroR's SrRArAGEM.--An eminent ira
gedian, now deceased, was once locked up in q
room at the rear Of theatre, to keep him in q
proper condition till he was called to 60 on the
stage. One door Of the apartment opened on
the street. and, while looking through the key
hole, be saw man passing, and calling him mp
to the door, he pushed crown through crack,
and instructed him to 60 to the public house, at
the opposite corner, and procure pint Of gin
and a clay pipe, promising to reward him for
his trouble. The man did as he directed, and,
when he returned with the articles the actor
told him to stick the stem Of the pipe through
the key hole and pour the gin carefully into the
bowl. These instructions the accommodating
individual also followed, and the result was
that, when the manager called to notify the
prisoner that it was time to dress for his part,
he found him in happy frame of mind, but not
at all in condition calculated to add to him
fame as an actor.-Eaghsh Paper.

birth. In view of these facts of history,
which can not be refuted, is there any po-
itical justice, or truth Or honesty in the dec
laration of the Repository: eff Woodward
had succeeded in his efforts to amend the
Constitution, the Irish and Germans would
now be without even the right to vote at all ?'
He was the very man who preserved that
right for them; while, even at that time,
and during the later days Of Native Amer
icanism, the political friends of the Reposi-
torywere seeking every opportunity to strike
deadly blow at that and every other sa-
cred right which the Irish and Germans had
fled to this country to secure. This libel
on the record of Judge Woodward, which is
intended to prejudice the German and Irish
vote against him, will have but little effect,
when it is remembered that it is made by a
party in whose platform prescription of for
eigners has for years been cardinal prin-
ciple; and who, through their recognized
organs, are this very day denouncing them
as ''the offscourings of the earth, ? s'the
vomitings Of the jails and poor-houses Of
Europe, who are sent to this country to
breed dissention and riot" ssof whose bar
barism and ferocity the New York riot is
but fitting exhibition This effort to in
jure the standing Of Judge Woodward a.
mongst the adopted citizens of the State,
will fail as signally as it has done in times
past. They will shun the poisonous en-
brace of their old enemies as they would
the touch of leper.

CLEAR RIDGE, July 25, 1868.

FRIEND MEYERS:
take the liberty of writing few lines
for the purpose of advocating Union principles.
In the first place believe that peace is Union.
The old Know-Nothing party, as it was called,
had a Union feature in its platform--the 18th
article think it said ssPretermit the Slavery
question:" or, in other words pass it by. This
was inserted for the purpose of keeping the
peace between the sections, and it made it ac-
ceptable to the South and commanded very
large support from that section. But this arti-
Gle was abrogated by the lineal successor of
Know Nothingism and the opposite doctrine was
announced, viz: "lnterfere with slavery" This
was war plank and hence the rebellion. Ev-
cry honest and rejecting man admits that the
Abolitionists have always been and are now op-
posed to the Constitution of the United States,
which is the corner stone of our Government.
They say that it is s'an--,5->ement with Death
= IIeii, b5osssse. 10 s,,rlvfs
African slavery" This is war doctrine and
disunion doctrine. Wendell Phillips is consid-
cred good Union man by our 'sRepubEcans,' .
Notwithstanding the fact that he said at the time
they were trying John Brown for murder, con-
spiracy, and treason, that if Virginia hung John
Brown, Potomac would run so dark that two
Washington's would have to be born on its
banks to bring it back to its original hue. If
the above remarks Of Phillips are Union prin-
ciples, then / am at a loss to know what Union
principles are. Yet he was the lion at WASH
ington some time since. He was entertained in
magnificent style by the Republicans. Those
men, therefore, that were "Americans' or Know
Nothings who now follow the 'Republicans''
and Wendell Phillips, have abandoned their old
"peace plank" which said ''Pretermit the slave
ry question" and have turned Disunionists Alb
olitionists contend that slavery has retarded our
progress in refinement and civilization. cam
not agree with those fanatics and hypocrites.
Our country was doing we'll. But we'll enough
was not let alone. Mad, ambitious men in both
sections of our ruined country, were not salts
fed. They must excite the country, from one
end to the other, for the purpose of getting the
loavcs and fishes. They wanted power, and
they have got it, at the expense of the nation
at the expense of the poor, laboring man whom
they promised to protect. How is it now?-
While the rich man can pay his exemption mo-
ney and stay at home with his family OF friends,
the poor man must go to war and leave his fam
lily to the charities of the world. Equal laws
are just laws, but partial ones are unjust

KINDNESS To ANnlAIs-G Gentleness, like
charity, is twice blessed--the effect ofwhich on
the animals around the homestead are scarce
ly less noticeable than upon the family. of your
household. No man can be truly kind to the lat
ter without letting his cattle feel the influence of
his spirit Soft words and kind looks turn away
wrath among cattle as among mankind. Harsh
ness has its curse in the hatred which the ssbrute
beasts feel, though they cannot utter their
scorn, except in occasional kicks or bites, and
by general 'sugliness," as it is called. An ear
of corn or little salt, or lock of hay, or even
kind look or gentle action, such as patting your
horse, has influence more or less in making
your appearance always a source ofpleasure to
tbe animals around you. 1t is a cheap luxury,
this rendering the brute beasts comfortable
around your homestead.

Mr.. Webster and his Bills.

Our readers are aware that the late Hon.
Daniel Webster was not SO careful in his pecu-
mary matters as some men, and this fault was
at times taken advantage Of At one time a
poor man sawed pile Of wood for him, and
having presented his bill it was promptly paid
by Mr.. Webster. The laborer took sick during
the winter, and neighbor advised him to call
on Mr.. Webster for the payment of his bill.
ssp--.-l hoe rnaid me-" said the man.
mo Natter" rerl:s.s his ssll.,i.oscrp saviser,
call again with it. He don't know, and don't
mind what he pays. 1t is very common thing
for him to pay such small bills over twice"
The man got well, and carried in his account
the second time. Mr.. Webster looked at it,
looked at the man, remembered him; but paid
the bill without demurring.
The fellow got ''short' some three or four
months afterwards, and bethought him of the
generosity and loose manner of Mr.. Webster in
his money matters and a third time he present.
ed the bill for saving the wood. Mr.. Webster
took the account which he Immediately recog-
nized, and, scanning the wood-sawyer mo-
ment, he said:
elbow do you keep your books, sirg"
81 keep no books" said the man, abashed.
81 think you do, sir" continued Mr.. Webster,
with marked emphasis, ''and you excel those
who are satisfied with the double-entry system.
You keep your books upon a trple-entry plan,
I observe"
Tearing up the account, Mr.. Webster added:
''Go, sir, and be honest hereafter. l have no
objections to paying these little bills twice, but
l cannot pay them three times. You may re-
tire"
The man left the room, feeling as though he
was sufocating for want of air. He had learn
ed a lesson that lasted through life.
