THE PLAGUE--Whilst eongratulating our
selves, or at least resting in quietude, after the
horrors of war, we do not take sufficient notice
of another fell des troyer, which with stealthy
hut rapid and steady step, is approa ching eur
shores. The Russian plague is spreading west
wardly over Europe, defes all quarantine regu-
Iations, and WILL almost assuredly cross the
ocean. Like the cholera, its laws seem TO be
little understood, and medical men are divided
in opinion as to whether or not it be contagious.

may lie in the hope which emancipation in the

Wayward Democrats are returning to their

of the people to make inquiries and see
where they stand Five years of Republi-

fortune upon them. True, the rebellion
has been put down gloriously, but it was,
in main, the principles of the Republican
party that brought about the bloody neccs-
sity. True, the Abolition high priests say
many things about freedom" ''loyalty,"
and the advantages derived by the carrying
out of their principles. " The war is over
and the farmers have time to examine their
taxes. They find that they arc enormous
and are rapidly increasing. They see that
a wealthy class of people, who roll in their
carriages and flash in silks, cloth, purple
and fine linens; who have their maid and
man servants about their households, with
an occasional imported contraband' in
the barnyard, pay little or no tax They
find that amid the excitement of the war
