BATTLE WORN BANNERS.
saw the soldiers come to-day
From battle-felds afar;
No eOnquror rode before their way
On his triuniphAl car,
But captains, like themselves, on foot
And banners sadly torn,
All grandly eloquent, though mute,
In pride and glory borne.
Those banners, soiled with dust and smoke
- And rent by shot and shell,
That through the serried phaIanx broke,
what terrors they could tell!
What tales Of sudden pain and death
In every eannon's boom;
When even the bravest held his breath
And waited for his doom.
By hands of steel those flags were waved
Above the carnage dire
Almost destroyed, yet always saved,
Mid battle clouds and fire.
Though down at times, still up they rose
And kissed the breeze again,
Dread tokens to the rebel foes
OF true and 10y al men.
And here the true and loyal still
Those famous banners bear
The bugles wind, the Efes blow shrill,
And clash tho cymbals where,
With deCimatea ranks, they come,
And through the crowded street
March to the beating Of the drum
With firm though weary feet,
God bless the soldiers cry the folk,
Whose cheers of welcome swell;
God bless the banners, black with smoke,
And torn BY hot and shell
They should be hung on sacred shrines,
Babtizej with grateful tears,
And live embalmsd in poets lines
Through all succeeding years.
No grander trophies could be brought
By patriot sire to son,
OF glorious BATTLES nObly fought
Brave deeds sublimely done.
And so, to-day. chsnoed with pride
And solemn joy to see,
Those remnants from the bloody tide
OF Victory.

The Democratic Platform

The Democrats are bSaten-the election
has gone against them. But truth is eter-
nal, and Democratic principles stand as
firm and sEcbaugestls to day as they ever
did before. We give them in the language
of the immortal Jefferson, the great aposi tie
and founder Of the Democratic party and
tree government on this continent:
Equal and exact justice to al men of
whatever State or persuasion, religious or
political;
Peace, commerce and honest friendsbi 2
with ell Misunderstanding alliances With
none;
The support of the State Governments
in all their rights, as the most competent
administrations for our domestic oOucerns,
AID the surest bulwarkS against anti-re-
publican tendencies;
The preservation Of the general govern>
meDt in its Thole constitutional vigor, as
the sheet anchor Of our peace at home and
safety abroad
A jealous care Of the right OF election
by the peoples mild and safe corrective
OF abuses which are Topped by the sword
OF revolution where psaoea5le remedies
are uuproVided
Absolute acquiescencs in the decisions
OF the majority-the vital principle of re-
puol'cs from " bieh there is no appeal but
to force, the vital principle and immediate
parent Of despotism
A we'll regulated militia, our best reli,
ance IN peace and in the frst moments Of

The supremacy Of the civil to the mill

ECONOMY in the public expense, that la.

The Joliet Signal In the Future.

A crisis has arrived 10 the history of the
JOLIET SIGNAL. During the past two years
1t has been published at great pecuniary
loss to the proprietors. This is owing to the
depreciation in the value Of gresnbacks
and the consequent advance in the price
OF paper and everything else Dscessa-
~ in publishing a newspaper. Printing
paper, which lie our principal expense, has
advanced from 6 aud cents per pound TO
"a and % cents per pound.
We have struggled to sustain the paper
si0ce these enormous price. have prevailed
without advancing the price Of subscrip-
tiOn, hoping for change, but as this can
not be looked now We are compelled to
raise the price Of subscription. beginning

will be charged at the rate of 81 so per

date, but il it be delayed until after that
time they will be charged S. q year, as
specified by our terms. These prices may
seem high to some but We will say to such
if they will pay US in gold or silver we
will charge but 81 rs year.
But these advanced rates will avail us
nothing and the paper will 20 down unless
