Mr.. Lincoln has pursued a policy that
has furnished thousands Ofreeruits for JEFF.
Davis armies.
= JsagRIl y4. 9st39t dssRagtjan Of the op-
the truth on this point? We defy any one
to show that Mr.. Lineoln's policy has in
creased the strength of the rebel army. 1t
cannot be shown that anyeonsiderable num-
Der have joined the enemy in consequence
of anything Lincsln has done; but on the
contrary, it can be shown that his policy
has secured 10000 additional recruits to
our army, which would not otherwise have
been reached. Furthermore, the policy has
been to crush the rebellion, and it has been
crushed in nearly one-third of slavedom, so
that Linooln's policy has deprived the enc
my of that much in which to conseript re-
oruits. Who can show that any considera-
bic number have volunteered into the rebel
ranks since the Proclamation was issued2-
That has not been the mode of filling up
their army; it has been done by taking all
able-bodIed men, irrespective of age, that
could be spared from the superintendency
of the slaves. They are fighting for indie
pendenee, and probably would have gained
it before now hud not the Administration
struck at the institution of slavery.

tsHbbie' - I'm spirit Greefings.--sere-
TFrOm the Chicago Tribune ]


Sunday last was a day of horrors. Quar-
rels-some of them with sad Examinations
were rife, and the Monday local of the
Tribune was crowded with reports of ac-
tions showing the dark side of human ma
ture' We were therefore obliged to omit
an extended report of the last days session
Of the Spiritual Convention. With the
exception of the last day, the Tribune had
given full reports Of the proceedings of that
novel Convention,
To complete the record we herewith give
the more noticeable features os the proceed
ings of ofSunday:
RESOLUTIONS
The following resolutions were passed
on Sunday. They probably comprise the
whole of the business transacted by the
Convention, and had no previous sessions
been held, the Harmonialists would have
achieved as much towards gaining any
ends they may have had in view, as they
have done by their score of meetings.
ResOtUed, That the authority of each in
dividnal soul is absolute and final, in de-
Gliding for himself or herself what is true or
false in principle, and right and wrong in
practice; Therefore, the individual the
state, or the church, that attempts to con-
troll the opinions or the practice of any
nan or woman, by an authority or power
outside of his or her own soul, il guilty of
fragrant wrong.
ResoLUed, That the hour is come to re-
cognize the eternal unity of science, philos-
Ophy and religion; that science delivered
7orced from SCIENCE and ptkkflos6pbhy b leads
to fanatieism, superstition, and bigotry,
and can end only in error darkness, and
crime.
ResoLged, d,y5EBaa That llfnr h common to the chill
dren of men, 40 on ii each human being
is alike dependent. Its child by virtue Of
its existence, has an equal and inalienable
right to SO much ofthe earth's surface as is
necessary, byproper culture, to support it
and perfect its development, and none has
a right to any more; then all laws author
izing and sustaining private property in
land for the purpose Of speculation, and
which prevent man or woman from pos
sessing land without paying for it, are as
unjust as would be laws compelling him
to pay for air and light and ought to be
at once and forever repealed.
ResoLUed, That any people or class of
people who demand the attention of man
kind, and challenge the faith and philosO-
ply of the ages, ought not only to be able to
present valid reasons therefor, but also to
present clear and definite statement of
their own system. ..-

have been less guilty than the prisoner.

The state Democratic Convention.
The Democratic State Convention which
met at Albany on Wednesday, was called
for special object-the appointment OF
delegates to the National Convention at
Chicago; and having performed that duty,
it very wisely adjourned. No attempt
was made to erect platform, nor did the
Convention make any formal expression
Of it's opinions on the great questions At
issue before the country. The everlasting
contest between Mozart and Tammany
from this city msde its annual appearance,
and was further diversified by the claim
of the Mckeon Democrats TO be also re-
cognized and admitted. On this occasion,
as the controversy had no practical i'm
portance. each of the three factions was
indulged-the representation being equal
ly divided between them. Tammany
went through her usual performance OF
whining, protesting and withdrawing-
but nobody minded it.
The selection of delegates indicated the
purpose of the party in the State. The
War Democrats were decidedly in the
ascendant, and the peace faction were
treated With very little ceremony and .
great deal Of quiet contempt. Governor
Seymour, Dean Richmond, l. Butts and
A. Belmont are the delegates at large
This was decidedly the most effec,ual way
of squelching the Peace Democrats that
the Convention could have devised.

WIR. F8ECK ron THE PRAIRrEs.-The
subject of wire fence has engaged the at

try, more or less, for several years past.
The railroad west of Cedar Rapids is
fenced with four wire fence, posts ten
feet apart; it is reported to answer first
rate purpose. The Dubuque 4 Sioux
City r. Il. Co have purchased sixteen
tons of fence wire, which will be put up
this spring.
The Galena l. Chicago Union Road is
also adopting wire fence. Their fences
consist Of six strands of No. 9 fence wire,
running through half inch holes, bored
in posts which are set ten feet apart. At
the end of length Of wire they Get a

], This is the birthday Of the Daily Cat
City. Ten years ago il was ushered int
being, and to-day it enters upon tho ele,
enth year of its existence in a. high
state Of prosperity and as full Of vigcr q
at any previous period of its sxistence.-
1t has shared, to some extent, the goo'
and ill-fortunes of our city during all tha
period, but has never grown proud il
prosperity, nor faltered nor succumbe,
under adverse circumstances. 1t has en-
joyed the favor of our citizens withou
intermission, and has manifested its appre
ciation and gratitude BY an answering
devotion to the interests Of the city. And
We trust its record in the past will stand
~ ample guarantee to its friends Of the
course which it will pursue in the future.
Ten years is a long time in this west
ern country. 1t is. in fact, an age. And
the man or the paper that can show =
fair and consistent record for that length
of time is entitled to the confidence of
the public. Our record is before the
people; let them judge us charitably and
forgive wherein We have erred, but be-
iieve that our purpose has been laudable
and that our failures in duty have result
ed from errors Of the head and not of the
heart.
What conflicts of opinion have we
passed through in ten years, and how nu.
merous and varied have been the exciting
topics we have discussed What strifes
Of cities, of railroad interests and of par
ties We have been engaged in. and how
they have all passed away. leaving but an
indistinct memory behind! And now,
while all these troubles are past and gone
forever, our whole attention is absorbed
BY the gigantic and bloody contest which
threatens the ruin of the country itself.
But while our thoughts are occupied with
this great change from peace to war, We
cannot be oblivious Of the many lesser
changes that have transpired during the
eventful ten years of the life OF the Gate |
City. And the change in our own de-
partment is but an index to that which |
has occurred in oil departments of bust
ness. The Gate City is the only paper,
We believe, on the Mississippi River, be-
tween st. Louis and ST. Paul, under the
editorial charge of the same person that
controlled it ten years ago to-day. All,
al have changed, and the editor of the
Gate City is to-day well-nigh alone the
patriarch Of the Daily Press Of the Mis-
sissippi Valley. Some of our early COM
patriots have gone to the Eldorado Of the
Pacific; some to the wars, and many to
heir long homes, whittier We are all
ending.
But enough of birthday "reminiscences.
Let Us, in conclusion, bespeak Of the
ried friends of tho Gate City Of ten years
and the no less true friends of
later date, generous appreciation and
cordial support in time to come. And in
eturn. We pledge them our best efforts.
With faculties and Judgment improved by
lime and experience, and passions tenn
'cred by many Of the bitter experiences
md severe trials of life.

DUsT AND WATER.-For the past few
days the dust on our streets has been
positively intolerable-unbearable. Yes
terday It was whirled through the air in
perfect clouds to the great annoyance Of
all who ventured abroad. II was, in fact,
a nuisance to everybody, and unless some
thing is done to put it down upon its
proper footing in the streets, al decent
people will be driven from the city and
none but population of those who revel
in dirt will be left. How our dry.goods
merchants and shop-keepers can stand its
uprising and incoming is more than We
can imagine. AS remedy to this great
aud rising evil, we would suggest that
as the Mississippi is now rising a supply
If water sufficient to sprinkle the streets
might be obtained by applying to the
