victor always bemeans himself BY inordinats
siorying over The defeat Of his adversary,
bat while extending entente eordials, let not
the stronger party mirspresent the weaker.
That, indeed, were worse than continued

election, Il misrepresents the lion-hearted
Democracy, and as We just remarkcd-mis.

Call US "Copperheads'' If you will-for that

called them by that name; call US anything
you will but don't say that we regret that

charge him with being non compos msatis.
You can count the Democracy to day by

willingly, more cagcrly-never more upon
the conviction Of duty than in doing that
noble deed. Before God and in the presence
Of man they voted according to the dictates
Of their own conscience-a conscience that no

1.asser said Thar Done.

DEA., Dick i'm your leader in the DExo-
Graf Of Nov. 10th, find many excellent
suggestions, but some things much easier
talked about than done, if desirable. For
instance, advising the farmcrs to increase
their labor and c, ops for the purro Of re-
ducing prices. If you want them to work
more hours in = day you must have the da7 -
lenghencd. Prices Of farm produce, consid-
ering the price Of labor and the currency in
which We get our pay, are not too high.
In the fall Of 1860 wheat, our great sta
pie, was worth, in Davenport, 65 cents in
gold. In the issue of the DsnoclsAr con-
timing the article under review, you quote
first quality wheat 81 .55, and gold at Ss.sa4,
equal to 66 cents in gold for wheat, or 10
cents less than in 1860, when We harvested
