White Men must Rule /!
NEW YORK DAY-BOOK
FOR 1866.

THE DAy-BooK proposes to stand in the
a future, as in the past, upon the great
doctrine that this is a WHITE MANS GOV
ERNMENT on the basis of FEDERAL
UNION, and it desires to be distinctly count.
ed out Of that class of journals which propose
TO surrender Democratic principles to a cow
ardly public clamor. 1t aspires to no higher
honor than to be the organ of the great AGRI-
| CULTURAL CLASSES of the country against
the public plunderers Of all parties, who now
through banks, tariffs, taxes and free negro
ism, are striving to crush them The Day
| Book, or its substitute, THE CAUCASIAN for
four long and bloody years, kept the flag of
State Rights and Constitutional Liberty flying
at great pecuniary sacrifice, in New York,
and at time, too, when il had no other jour
nal to keep it company. 1t has not, therefore,
been printed merely to make money, but has
chosen rather to be right and with the people,
than to court the favor Of cliques and rich
railroad corporations and be aprong with the
few. It might have been better off pecuniari-
ly, but it would have been sadly bankrupt in
principle had it taken any other course. 1t
does not now mean to run a competition with
shoddy Democratic or Abolition papers, sup
ported by political funds robbed from the peo-
Pile, and it warns the masses that there are
many so-called Democratic papers engaged in
the conspiracy to mortgage the bones and sim
ewS OF the farming ana industrial classes 10
bondhoders and capitalists, and surrender
the old Union and the old Constitution to the
Mongrelsts. 1t, therefore, calls upon all true
men to stand by it for another years fight
with the Abolitionists monopolists and pub
lie plnnderers. The DAY-BooK is now recog-
nized as the LEADING DEMOCRATIC
WEEKLY OF THE COUNTRY, and has THE
LARGEST CIRCULATION OF ANY PUB
LlSHED, being the only New York paper Of
its class made up as FAMILY and AGRI-
CULTURAL Journal.

an exile, on the oath of March, at Claremont,
England, at the age ofeighty-four. She was
daughter of Ferdinand of Naples, by an
Archduchess of Austria. She met Louis
Philippe in 1903, at Palermo, and was mar
ried to him at the close of the following year.
She proved herself more than ordinary
faithful wife, and made friends of all who
were introduced to her. She fed with her
family to England in ls4s, when the dynasty
was overthrown by the rebellion, and has
since occupied the palace at Claremont,
which belonged to one branch of her family.
She leaves Eve Sons and daaghtsrs, o. whom

For tho Lonrnnl-

Mind is an unde6nable, incomprehensible
something. Being finite, and yet allied to the
infinite, it cannot comprehend its own being
and essence. 1t never sleeps, in never rests,
it never ceases to act. The arrows of light,
as they ing their flight through Infinite space
are not to be compared in velocity to tbs
celebrity of thought. 1t travels round the
earth on visits to the most distant planets in
the twinking Of an eye. In the minds eye,
time, distance and space are annihllated. 1t
has but to will it and time and places the
most distant arc in its Immediate presence
Mind is power. II moves all the forces Of
nature, and by the fat Of its will binds the
elements to its car, and makes them the in
struments of its purposes. Aud yet we. can
neither see it, nor handle it, nor take cognis-
ance Of it By means Of any of the animal
senses. But we have an intuitive concious-
ness that it is a something having the char
acteristics Of individuality. Ny mind is my
individual self Without it l am no more than
the clois of the valley. This frail body
is not me, it is the house in which l
dwell. 1t is wisely adapted to the wants and
purposes of this, my embryo state, as it helps
my growth in wisdom, virtue and knowledge,
and fits me to dwell in that better house tha t
isin store for me. This house is perishing and
will soon decay, ,and then the all wise and good
being who furnished me with it will furnish
me with better One-one that is not subject
to decay. What kind of house that will be |
have no means ofknowing now, but as my Maker
IS infinitely wise and good, and can do what
SoeVer he desires, I have every reason to be-
lieye that it will satisfymy utmost wish. Ishall
not then be plodding biped confined TO the
earth, ,ofwhose elements this body is composed;
butmy body like the mind Will take the wings OF
thong and visitworlds, and suns, and spheres,
and drink in wisdom and knowledge with the
spirits intuition and energy, and admire,
wonder and rejoice, amid the wonderful
works Of the Creators power. "Old things
will have passed away and all thngsl will
have become new" "As We have borne the
image Of the earthly, we shall also bear the
insSs Of the EsAVssly." n.. .-. e..

A JUST TRIRTTE.

Never before, we believe, in the history Of
eur political struggles, has a State admins
tration been accorded the high tribute paid to
Gov. Curtin by the popular branch of the
legislature on the day Of its adjournment. Mr..
Ruddiman, Of Philadelphia. offered the fol-
lowing resolutions, which were adopted with
out discerning voice
R,solr.d, Tha; in the name Of the Common
wealth we tender 10 Governor Curtin cur
thanks for the fidelity with which, during four
years Of war, by which our country was raw
aged, and its free institutions threatened, be
stood BY the National Government and cast
into the scale OF LOYALTY and the Union, the
honor. the wealth and the strength Of the state.

from the dark hour in which he pledged to
the late lamentcd President of the United
States the faith aud steadfast support of our
people, he has gained for his name an histor-
ical place and character, and while rendering
himself deserving of the nations gratitude,
has added luStre to the fame and glory 10 the
name Of the CommGnwealth over which lie
has presided for two terms OF oihce with so
much ability, and in which he has tempered
dignity with kindness, and won the high re-
spect and confidence of the people.

sSy" We recommend to the attention of
soldiers and others the following extract from
debate in Congress on the 9th of April:
CLAIM AGENTS.
Nr. Bundy, by unanimous consent, offered
Il resolution reciting that claim agents in the
city of Washington, protesting to have special
facilities for the collection Of soldiers claims,
had In their possession, or under their con-
troll, large number of claims belonging TO
soldiers and sailors, and that some Of them
had collected claims, and refused to pay the
same to the RICH ful owners; and instructng
the Committee Oil the Judiciary TO report
bill more edectualy to protect the soldier and
sailor from being cheated in such manner, by
providing that all defaultng agents and at
torneys shall be declared guilty of embezzle-
ment, and shall be pIuishcd in the same man.
ner as is provided for the punishment Of en-
bczzlemcEt and grand larceny.
Mr. Farnsworth desired, in that connection,
to say that he was in receipt of numerous
letters from soldiers in Illinois, stating that
claim agents in Washington were writing
letters, promising them fabulous sums in
bounty and land warrants. Some of his cor
respondents wanted 20 know whether he
would not get these bounties and land war
rants for them. These claim agents were
sending circulars all over the country in an
ticipation of a law of Congress granting land
warrants to soldiers, or of law equalizing
bounties. He desired 10 give notice to SOL
diers all over the country, and hoped the
Associated Press reporter would enable him
to do so, that these claim agents at Washing
ton were set of Internal rascals and cheats,
and were not to be trusted.
A MEMBER.-Not all Of them.
Mr. FARNswoRTH-1 would not say all.
The Speaker also desired to say that claim
agent named George E. Lemon had asked
authority to refer to him, which authority he
had positively refused to give, but that, not
withstanding, circulars had been sent all over
the country by that agent, naming the Speaker
OF the House as one of his references. He
was now daily answering letters of inquiry
from soldiers in relation to that agent, stating
that he had never given authority to refer to
him.
Mr.. Grinnell stated that the same agent
referred to him, without ever having asked or
received authority to do so.
Dir. Morrill, stated that one of his constitu-
ents having inquired Of him whether there
was such CLAIM agent in Washington, he
had made Inquiries. and could find no such
person; but he had found person of that
name recorded in the Pension Bureau as A.
| Lyon, claim agent. ..g..-. =. ...
| The resolution was unanimously adopted
Better to have your claims attended "a
tA1oaFE home agents.

NoEra CARoLINA.-Thc Raleigh Standard
Gov. Holden's paper, says that ultra, seces-
Sionists now fill every office in the State, from
the highest 10 the lowest" and that ''the Sc
cession leaders are determined that the Union
men shall never be permitted to govern the
State" 1t adds:
"The cause of Restoration has been sud
denly arrested-the State has been set back
to the point it occupied when the work was
commenced, and no one can ,foresce when the
work will he completed. The generosity of
the President has been trifcd with, and the
good he desired to do this people has been
neutraized by these leaders, who have been
actuated solely by the love Of money and of
flee. How long viii it be before they are re-
buked, as they should be, and made to know
their places ?".

VIZ notice that the liquor sellers Of New
Yo-k are about to test the constitutionality Of
the law closing their drinking places on Sun
day. We are glad to see it. We wish they
would do it here. This making a scapegoat
Of the Constitution for verybody by evely-
body. from the President down, is getting TO
be ridiculous. Scarcely law can be passed
now-a-dsws, if it restricts an evil or on the
broader principle proposes to accomplish an
important measure for the benefit of the many,
but We hear at once the cry of unconstitu-
tionality. On the other hand, the most
abominable laws are adopted and the most
impudent encroachmcntS are made upon the
privileges Of the people, without the color OF
authority, and they acquiesce without a
struggle to recover these privileges and to
expose and punish the offence. 1t is the few,
not the many, for improper not praiseworthy
reasons, who are always calling upon the
CONSTITUTION" to aid them.
