On Breeding Poultry in Large Numbers

There are TWO reasons Tor this inevitable
result. One is, that where large number

Democracy and its Issues.

The more conservative but less honest and
scrupulous one of the New York abolition
newspapers. institute an inquiry as to the
proba Die future of the democratic party, and
commences it labor of love as follows:
"Nothing can be more certain than that the DEM
ocratic party did itself prodigous injury by its con-
duct IN the late war for the saving ofthe nation
Will that injury prove fatal to it Has il a con-
stitution tough enough to endure and to rally, or
will it succumb and be transmigrated into some
new political organization
'fThis question cannot, as yet be positively an
swered. The difficulty is that the vitality of the
democratic party is something that has always
oatded calculation. We only know that il is ex-
traordinary-that it has, in time past, been proof
against what ought to have made a end of il doz
en- times over. 1t is with political parties as it il
with creatures of the animal ngdom-there is
an immense difference in their tenacity upon life
One Will die from scratch, and another will man.
age to live though smashed to jelly.'
The somewhat lugubrious admission that
"the vitality of the democratic party is some-
thing that always has baffied calculation is.
perhaps, itself sufficient answer to the in.
quiry with reference to the probable extinc-
tion or otherwise of the democratic party
To be sure, the fact that a thing always has
existed, is not proof that always will exist
nevertheless, if we find that any structure or
organization has exhibited great vitality un.
der one set of adverse circumstances, it is log
lcal to conclude that it will retain that vitaii-
ty when surrounded and beset by circum-
stances no worse than those through which

A TRICK ON THE GERMANS.

The Union suppressed the proceedings of
the meeting of the Germans and did MT pub
lash them in ats areekly paper 1t had previ-
ousy filled its weekly paper with abuse of
them. The Germans held meeting, at
Western Engine house, expressed their opin-
ion of the UpioH, and asked the publication,
in that paper, of their resolutions. The
Onion put them off two or three days, then
gave them an insertion in Its daily (which
very few people avar ready aud suppressed
them from its weekty! The abuse and slaDd-
ers OF the Germans had gone 10 the country,
but the editor refused to let has country read

were three billions of dallars worth of slaves
in the country, owned by less than half

The southern slaves are turned into govern

not suitsd-that the community is not suited,
they become disguised, and attribute these
things to "scurvy politics." and the fdepravi-
ty of the times. when, in fact, it Is but the
result of their own laziness and neglect
Their staying at home is the result of most
of the evils of which they complain, and of
which they, Of all others, have the least right
to complain. If they wish for reform they
must make it themselves. Let every man OF
party do his own thinking, acting and yot-
ing, and the majority of a party will select
good officers, or, at all events. good reliable
men, to represent and govern them. The
government, conducted by such men, will at
least be respectable.
But they have no right to complain OF q
bad government, or that they are unfairly or
improperly represented as long as they pur-
sue their present course of staying at home.
Farmers, mechanics, merchants, manutactur-
ers, aud smen of Rock Island county 1t is
your duty to take direct and personal i'm
terest in the selection of every officer who is
to administer your affairs. Go TO the prima-
ry meetings, control them by your influence
and your votes. Cease to regard politics "a
dirty trade" which you are content to
leave to others. If it is a trade. you, your
selves. are the parties who, in the end, are
bought and sold. You boast of your fran
chises, yet you will not use them. If you
desire the standard of political morality OF
the country TO be advanced, you, and you
only, must do it. From constable TO prssi-
dent, the Offices 10 this country are some
thing in which every citizen of the United
States has a direct interest. and if you suffer
men TO whom common honesty is but name
to regulate your affairs, you have no right to
complain if they are badly regulated.
It will not do for the sound. solid indus
trious men of the community to say, I'VE
hate politics they are debased and mean,
and whoever touches pitch will be defled."
How did they become SO, except by their own
negligence of their duty as citizens. Will
they ever be any cleaner rs long as they
leave them to the hands of dirty men? Will
they ever be any more respectable until they
make them SO?
The masses of the leading citizens of our
own city are TO blame forithis kind of neglect.
ed duty They sneer at politics and politi
clans. They are the men who should be
willing to serve the public in official station
and to vote ON ali occasions for the right
kind of men for such stations. s. long al
respectable people hold aloof from primary
meetings, and from elections so long the PEG
workers and crafty politicians who have but
their own ends TO serve.

WHAT TUE GOVERNMENT CANNOT Do.-In
April, 1862, Judge Sprague. of the United
States district court, in Boston, rendered a
decision in the Amy Warwick case. The
following is an extract from that decision:
1T has been supposed that after the re-
bellion is suppressed the government will
have the right of conquest; that state and
it's inhabitants may be permanently Invested
of all political privileges, and treated as for
eign territory acquired by arms This is an
error-a grave and dangerous error Under
despotic governments the power of municipal
confiscation may be unlimited but under our
government the right of sovereignty over any
portion OF q state is given and limited by the
constitution, and will be the same after the
war as it was before. When the United
States takes possession of any rebel district.
