For rich or poor, there can be no better
investment than Life Insurance. For the
poor man, if the amount is only five hun
dred dollars, it places just that amount in
the hands of his wife or children, at the time
Of his decease, supplying present wants, and
giving them time to prepare for future nee
essities; whereas, without it, they would
give away to encouragement, under the ac-
cumulated trials of affliction and poverty.
To the rich, it is a source of real advan-
tage, because it furnishes ready cash. and
oftentimes prevents the sacrifice of property
to raise money for purposes that cannot
abide delay. Noue are too rich to insure
because there can be no better or more safe
investment, and theprovident man of wealth
seeks for the most advantageous means of
meeting sure return.
None are too poor, because ''for the small
sum of three cents a day, man, at the age
of twenty-eight, can secure the payment of
$500 to his family at his death; six cents
day will secure 81, 000." On the mutual
plan the insurer is entitled to the periodical
dividend by which he may increase his insu-
rance, or reduce the annual payment, or
both. If he insures in the Mutual Life In
Suraace Company Of Wisconsin, he is sure
of these results. We speak from actual
knowledge. Three years ago we insured in
this company for s., 900. Recently we sur
rendered the old policy and took knew
one for $4,000, and the available benefits to
which we are entitled, nearly paid for the
new policy, with the additional $4,000, for
one year. In addition to this, we recently
received from the Company the following
gratifying information:
We have the pleasure of informing you
that by the division of the surplus of Dec.
1st, 1868, there is credited to policy No.
1886, the sum of 81, As.
This is the company's first dividend, which
will hereafter probably be made once in
three years or oftener. 1t may be used by
the insured to increase the amount of his in
surance, or to reduce the annual premiums.

The REBEL ORGANS ON PEAoE.-There is
considerable said about peace in the late Rich
mond papers. Much Of their talk is in sig
ndcant sympathy with the views Of their
halfway allies, the democrats, Of the North /;
and IL is calculated to foster the peace and
concession feeling which is being so indus
triously famed by the friends Of the Chicago
convention in this section. Most likely, too,
IL represents the real desire of large party
in the South, perhaps Of the majority, even,
outside the leading poli,icsl and military lead
ers. We quote what the Richmond Exam
iner says:
Leaving the military lines Of each party
where they now are, the confederate states
should be invited to send delegates to meet
the Yankee states in convention. Let there
be not only an 'armistice.' but formal re-
nunciaton OF all right and pretense to coerce
these states; and Of course an entire with
drawal Of all land and sea forces which occu-
py any portion Of our soil, or blockade any
Of our ports and then the northern states
will be in position to propose to US recon
struction Of the Union, or a convention Of
states for the purpose Of negotiating that.
With such change in the existing relations,
no doubt there may come also great change
over mems minds. We do not answer for a
favorable result Of this policy, but the Cbica-
90 democrats will find it worth while to try
it, seeing that it is the only chance they
have"
"a formal renunciation OF all right and
pretence TO coerce" rebelious states, is sur
reader to the rebels now, and for all future
time makes the bond Of union q rope Of sand

There is sound, practical wisdom 10 these
suggestions of an eminent citizen of Massa-
chusetts, in private note to the Springfield
Republican " hope that you give no coun-
tenance TO the dissensions among those who
have acted together in support Of the govern
ment, but who are rendering it possible, by
attacks upon the administration, for the dem
ocrats to achieve success. There is sin enough
to be atoned for, but there is only one course
that can been pursued with safety. We must
support the administration and the nomina-
tions made at Baltimore. 1t is too late 70
change froat. The enemy are upon us. We
must suffer defeat or gain victory under our
present leaders. The nomination of Lincoln
may have been a mistake an attempt to sub
stitute any other person would now be a
greater mistake. What we need. and all we
need, is courage. Private disappointments
personal griefs must be disregarded. The is.
sue is between Mr. Lincoln and the nominee
of the Chicago convention. Whoever the
latter may be, and whatever the platform. the
policy will be the same. peace upon terms
satisfactory to the South. The terms may
easily be foreseen Mr.. Lincoln is for tht
Union The traitors South and their sym
pathizers North are against him. Thsy viii

A LITTLE Btr OF HIsToRV.--By reference,

olina, formed before the date Of the Consti-
tuition Of tue United States. and in force at
its adoption, and also to the Constitutions Of

fication Of electors for the most numerous

no distinction on account Of color in those nine
states Connecticut and Rhode Island, be-

the privilege was restricted to every ." white

1887, emancipated slaves and their issue
were debarred the privilege Of voting at
elections OF being elected And even this

The Caledonia County Union Convention
very 6ty adopted the following resolutions
Whereas, At a convention held at Montpelier
by persons calling themselves Democrats,
IL WIS resolved "that the government had
denied to the sovereign States all constitu-
tonsl rights, that It had trampled upon
the organic law Of the nation, and had
waged bloody war for the ayowed pur-
pose Of extirpating eight millions Of peo-
pie from the home of their ancestors"
therefore
RESOLVED, That the persons who wrote and
caused to be promulgated the said resolution
are unworthy the name Of Democrats, the
resolution being maliciously and willfully
false.
Resolved, That the malicious misrepresen-
tations by the so He'd Democratic newspa-
pers and partisan leaders, are the fruitful
cause Of prolonging the war and neutralizing
the efforts Of the government for suppressing
the rebellion and restoring the Union.
RESOLVED, ] bat the tactics of the so called
Democratic leaders, are calculated TO stimu-
late and encourage the rebels, 10 weaken the
hands Of the government. TO dishearten our
noble soldiers in the field, to prevent enlist
ments, to demoralize oar armies, TO destroy
our national credit and to disgrace US in the
views Of European nations.
Resoluea, That we see no moral distinction
between the rebels 10 arms against the gov
eminent and the partisan leaders who by
falsehood and Misrepresentation oppose the
successful prosecution Of the war and we
deem it alike the duty Of all loyal citizens
7 all true friends Of the country, the Union,
the constitution. to labor for the suppression
Of the one and the defeat Of the other
