Gen. Hooker on the Victory.

THooker was in Toledo, Ohio, recently
and :he people, surrounding him, extorted
q brief speech, from which We quote The
f,llowiug:l
Every thing looks bright for cur coun'
try. The work which the people accom-
plished, the day before yesterday, will do
,uore to put down this rebellion than any
thing done before. Ii was the greatest
victory of the war. The hopes based upon
the Peace party Of the North, have long
been the chief prop of the Rebels. They
have been struggling along against defeats
and difficulties for q long time, in the
hope that the Presidential election Of 1864
would bring them relief They well know
,ha. armis,ice and negotiation mean moth
ing less than para,iou and dissolution Of
the Union, and hence their dependence
upon the peace party.
The managers Of the Chicago Conven
sion are dangerous men. Ohio sent one
vho claims to have put into the platform
of that Convention the declaration that
The war was a "failure." That man
claims to be a Democrat. never was
anything else than Democrat, but | re-
pudiate all such men as him. He never
had o drop of Democratic blood in bis
veins. am satisfied, from what heard
iu Chicago, that oue-half of the ConVen-
ton that nominated Mcclellan might be
indicted for treason. The name of JEFF
Davis was chee1ed there oitener than was
M'Clellau's.

NO" a"

Would you learn the bravest thing
That man can ever do.
Would You be the uncrowned king,
Absolute aud true.
Would YOU seek to emulate
All We learn in story
Of the moral, just, and great,
Rich in real glory?
Would you lose much bitter care
In your lot below
Erayely speak out, when and where
'Tis RIGHT to utter No"
You with kindly spirits blessed,
Willing to do right,
You who stand with wavering breast,
Beneath Persuasion might,
When companions seek to taunt
Judgment into sin
When the loud laugh fain would daunt
Your better voice within
Ga, beware. You'll never meet
More insidious foe:
But strike the coward to your feet,
By reasons watchword, NO.
All! how many thorns we wreathe
To twine our brows around,
by not knowing when to breathe
This important sound
Many heart has rued the day
When it rcckoned less
OF fruits upon the moral Nay"
Than flowers upon the "lcs;'
Many sad, repentant thought,
Turns to "long ago"
When luckless fate was wrought
By want Of saying "No."
FOO few have learned to speak this word
When it SHOULD be spoken;
Resolution is deferred,
Vows to virtue broken;
More of courage is required,
This one word to say,
Than to stand where shots are fired
In the battle fray.
Use it fitly, and you'll see
Many a lot below
May be schooled and nobly ruled
With power 20 utter NO

SPECIAL ADVANTAGES OF THIS

il is paving in the best circulating medium
Of the country, and il cGl not pay In anything
better, for its own assets are either In Gov
ernment securities or in notes or bonds pay
able in Government paper.
II is equally convenient as temporary or
permanent investment. The notes can always
be sold for within a fraction Of their face and
accumulated interest, and are the best secu-
rity with banks and as collaierals for dis
counts.
Convertible Into Six per ecnt. $40 Gold Bonds
In addition TO The very liberal interest on
the notes for three years, this privilege of
conversion is now worth about three per cent.

Best Machine In the World

During last harvest hundreds Of Farmers,
in consequence Of our inabilityto supply the
demand were unable 10 obtain the Buckeue.
and were forced TO purchase an inferior
machine. The continued scarcity of laborers
and the new calls from the government for
troops, will take many more laborers from
the country, and the farmer will have to rely
entirely upon machinery in gathering his
hay and grain crops.
Farmers who would avoid disappoinimen,
in procuring a Buckeye can send in their
orders now.
