of social order, of even-handed justice,
and the freedom and happiness Of
mankind? We have only to cite the
fact that it has been their study and
sole policy to perpetuate an aristocra-
cy-the most despotic and cruel on
earth--to reduce by brute force, to the
condition of the brutes, men, by ma
ture, as free as themselves, to hold and
treat them as chattels the same or
even worse than their cattle, Swine
and dogs ! Has it not been patent
with them and to all the world to
practice the most extreme cruelty of
which their hellish ingenuity was ca
pable of inventing such as burning
their slaves alive at the stake, and
other kindred acts Some have done
these things while the masses have
approved and endorsed them. Then
what is the record of their treatment
of those whom they have gotten into
their power during the war? Let Lib
by Prison and Belle Isle answer. Let
Salisbury, N. c., add its testimony to
the record. Let Andersonville speak
out, and what is the character fo- hu-
manity, for the love of human happi-
ness, of human freedom, which that
testimony will establish for them
Wirz was only the catspaw for the
mass of rebel conspirators. From
what is seen of the great majority of
the masses of both sexes, there is no
lack of bitter feeling, of enmity and
cruelty entertained among them,
towards both the whites and blacks
of those who stand opposed to their fa-
vorite institution, slavery. Note the
diabolical cruelties and barbarisms
which characterize them as people
at this present hour, so clearly demon
strated in their conduct towards the
inoffensive blacks.
These facts which are patent to all
the world, and which need no proof,
are sufficient to show the almost GER
tain tendency of the future action of
the same set Of men, unless it be clearly
shown that they have changed their
position and materially reformed.
Have we any evidence of this ? Their
professions merely. But how do these
professions comport with the train of
facts here adduced, and which l will
still further disclose to view in fu-
ture letter. PETER PERDY.

were at breakfast.

pig. We could keep one just as well

Why, Susan, you'd have to buy

talking with neighbor Jones about it

Il should like to know what Jones

"Why, he judged from his own ex-
perience, James. He keeps pig
"And while we are on the subject,
Susan, I'll just take the opportunity to

ridiculous you are ! detest pets"
"Then why don't you avoid them
my dear?"
"What are you driving at do"
Why, you are in one now, Susan

ers upon the forebodings of our coun-
try's destiny We must conccde one
of two things which will be sure, in
the nature of things, to occur-either
the spirit of despotism will again tri-
umph, bringing all under its dominion,
or, the spirit of freedom will hold the
advantage it has already gained, and
struggle on to complete success and
ultimate triumph without rival. The
people Of this nation are divided in
to two great classes, the Democracy
proper and the Aristocracy. The
broad principle of equal rights and the
spirit of human freedom actuate the
former, while the spirit of despotic, or
arbitrary rule, manifesting itself in ar
rogance and usurpations, dictates the
course of the latter.
We, as nation, have Just passed
through the most terrible and sangui-
nary struggle that has ever fallen to
the lot Of any nation to experience in
the worlds history and it has arisen
out of the conflicting character of
these two great leading features, or
phases ofhuman association. The one,
that is freedom has, in a measure, gain
ed the ascendency for the time being,
at least, and at this moment the gen.
ius, and every available effort of the
nation are being brought into action
to settle and establish, permanently,
the great principle Of equal rights as
the basis Of all social and government
al institutions.

The Mississippi river is giving Chi.
cago q good deal of trouble. While
that old ditch was in the hands of the
rebels Chicago got the trade Of the
West, no matter what the railroads
charged for transportation but since
it was restored to the jurisdiction of
the flag and since stea mboat accommo-
dation has been largely increased,
Chicago sees many bushel Of grain
taken down stream which she hoped
would come across the country to her
warehouses. She now calls upon the
railroads to reduce their rates because
-four is taken from ST. Louis to New
York and Boston for $l.20 per barrel,
while it costs 81 10 to take it from Chi
csgo to these cities. But river com
petition is not yet what it will be, aud
freights by water will be much lower
than now. What then can the rail.
roads do to save to Chicago all that
she covets.

sheep; they do well on the prairics du-

experience in these things tell us that
sheep brought into this State from the
East, if in healthy condition, always

Sheep need care and attention. In
parts Of the State wolves are still
prowling around, committing frequent
depredations. The Legislature has
imposed protective tariff in the shape
Of q bounty on wolf-scalps; but there
is no bounty on dog-scalps. and We
need one. We have $4,000 dogs in
the State, and lost during the past
