The one plank in the platform upon
which all the Republicans stand-the
plank which is like the keystone Of the
arch, binding all the other parts together
and giving them conlliness and strength
is that which declares in terms or as
sumcs by its relations, that when any man,
black or white, does q days work, he is
entitled to days pay. It is the belief in
in that fact-an axiom Of civ1lization-t
has made the opposition to human slavery,
the essence Of which is the power of one
man to compel another to work without
pay. It is that belief which raised up, or
rather revived a party, in opposition to the
spread Of the work without pay
policy in the Territories. It is that
which is the central idea Of the re-
sistance that the North is making to the
dissolution Of the Union. It is that upon
which the State elections have turned; and
1t is that which has the greatest promi-
nence in The canvass before us in Chicago.
And if the men who depend upon their
daily wages for their daily bread, could but
see, as clearly as we do, how vitality they
are interested in the maintenance Of the
right in this matter, there would not be 9
vote cast against the Bryan ticket, unless
by men who do not hesitate to aTow thai
capital should OWL its labor, or that the
strong should govern the weak. No man
who believes in the Scriptural truth-the
laborer is worthy Of his hire-can be Q
pro-slavc1y man. These facts arc plain
The war, the elections past, and those d
hand, are mere questions of labor. Shal
men work without pay2 is the point i,

The disappointment Of the country in
view Of the result Of the engagement off
Charleston, is modified by the exceeding
ga1lantry with which the fight was main
tanned By the officers and men under Du-
points command. They sailed straight
into the most murdcrou5 fire ever 1nincd
upon 50 nar1ow an area; and though deal
ing ezrcrimenta1Iy, with untried agencies,
amid circumstances that might have
challenged the fear Of the boldest Of men,
kept up the struggle until they demon
st1ated its hopclessness so thoroughly that
no croaker will dare say that they ought
to have done more 1t is some cousola-
ton to know, after defeat, that the ancient
fmc Of the Navy has suffered no loss. Its
honor is uutaruished.

Tie lave been at some pains to inform
ourselves Of the facts in relation to the
area Of ground devoted this year to spring
wheat and oats; and the word comes to
Us from all quarters Of the Northwest that
the long continued favorable weather in
which farmers have Ind no interruption Of
the labors common to the season, has in
sured the sowing Of IN area greatly in ex-
cess Of that put into small grain year ago.
The scarcity and high price Of labor have
been drawback; but. since the great ad-
vance in the remainder Of the last years

ed the agricultural excleQuer, they are not
so grieyously felt as we feared. Should the
season for growth and harvest compare
favorably with seed time, the country may

shifting Of the peas from one thimb1e to an
other, worthy Of mountebank at the Fair,
but hardly reconcilable with the dignity Of
law officer Of the British nation. It is
tic duty Of Government u see it's own
laws executed, and if it has reason to be-
lieye, on sufficient evidence, that q breach
Of them is even about to be made, md has
not actually taken place, it is bound to pre-
vent the same, ifit can, and is responsible for
all the consequences which may result from
itsneglect. According to the English solici-
tors Interpretation Of the law, their ship
builders may turn out for the Confederates
as many izon-clads as they like, to prey up
on our commerce, and dera.tetc our seas,
provided they can keep their own secret as
to the persons who may employ them.
And this gentleman thinks America is very
touchy, very touchy indeed, to make such
fuss about SO small q matter.
Lord Palmerston even goes SO far as to
say that we arc spoony people for it, and
like pack Of children crying over spoiled
gingerbread. He made no account Of tho
fierce wrath Of the people coming TO him
in such storms Of thunder aud lightning
across the Atlantic; for the truth was that
whenever we got into difficulty at home
through our own incompetercy, we were
sure to raise an outcry against England.
This ..hoary statcsman-wAo incarnates
in Lis dccaying body all the iniquities OF
his tirnc-the cheat and imposter Of Eu-
ropc-traitor to his OWL country-and
murderer Of Poland, and Of Hungary
whose whole life is a Ic-and who never
performed great or generous action
has the audacity to be insolent to the only
country in the world which never trembled
beneath his tyranny, nor was ever victim
1scd By lis diplomacy. He laughs al Mr.
Adams wien he complains Of the building
Of the Alabama, and tells the Parliament
that our ambassador was foolish enough to
come to the Government with II tell you
this, and tell you that sort Of evidence
and with nothing else, to prove that it wa.
being built fer the Confederates And hc
puts forth this as the reason why the
British Government never acted in the
premises. They were asked to act upon
SUSPICION; but the mighty British 1aS
never had got itselfcxecuted without cyi.
dence, and never would.
This man htew when he made this
statement that he uttered 4 deliberate and
most wicked 1alsehood; that Mr.. Adams for
wardcd to Lord Russell, the oath Of q
seaman that he was hired to fight On board
the Alabama for the Confederate Govern
ment By the Captain Of the Alabama; an6
that even ct the last hour, when the Eng
| lish Government knew the vessel wa!
ready for sea, they deferred taking any
steps to seize her until it WAS too late, ant
the Pirate was on her way to the ocean
| with British colors flying at her masthead
and British seamcn manning her, Britisl

United States-thc friend and the ally 9
England!

Is It is remarkably significant Of the
aims and purposes Of the so-called Demo-
cratic party-the fact that as soon as a
Democrat Of standing and capacity says a
word in defence Of his country, he is forth
with classed with the Abolitionists" Are
we to believe that the Abolitionists are the
only patriots, or, simply, that no man can
love his country and be Democrat? Can
we be favored with the opinion OF the or.

been taught since the adjournment of the
Illinois Legislature, have not made them
more patriotic. We hear that new
scheme for stopping the war, upon the
basis before proposed, has been hatchcd by
recent consultation Of the magnates Of
the party; and that, as the extra session Of
the General Assembly of this State is set
down for June, an attemp. will be made to
compel Illinois to adopt it. As related to

HUMAN BULK.-As to the exact amount of fat
which may exist without proving injurious to health,
there appears to be the greatest variation 1t is GER
tain that many individuals have possessed an enor-
nous development of this tissue who, nevertheless,
enjoyed perfect health and the complete use of their
faculties. Maccary states that he encountered at
Pavia man who exhibited himself as dancer and
was extremely agile and graceful in his movements,
although the most enormously fat man he ever saw.
DR.. Williams mentions a girl who from her child
pounds, but who possessed an extraordinary degree
Of muscular strength much that at the age of six
she was able to carry her own mother in her arms,
and at the age of twenty could carry $50 To- weight
in each hand with ease; and another girl who at
the age of five, began to accumulate fat with great
rapdity so that by the time she was twelve years
old she weighed 1872 lbs, and yet preserved good
health and strength The celebrated Daniel Lambert,
probably the latest man whose history has been
corded, lived to good old age, and though much
encountered by his bulk, preserved his faculties
well at the eliminating point he weighed 739 lbs!
Platerus records the case of man who attained an
enormous bulk without any diminution of his re-
markable agility, which was such that he walked
and danced with unusual ease and grace. Nor is it
only the muscular system which may retain its full
powers in presence of an extreme accumulation Of
fat 1t is common prejudice that fat persons are
slow of intellect and the provincial epithet Of STAT
head" sufficiently expressed the popular idea of the
mental powers of the corpulent. But there are
instances which conflict with this view ane need
only mention David Hume and Napoleon to convince
every one that it is not universally true.-Corn-
