The New York Day-Book.

This paper is favorably known by the De-
nocracy of Pennsylvania as well as through
the other States in this Union It's Democ-
racy never was questioned, even by the most
suspicious, and in every campaign it took an
active and prominent part. A more straight
forward course was not pursued by any paper
during the past FIVE years. We have read
its editorials with great deal of interest and
care, and can safely recommend the paper
to all our friends as an able exponent of true
Democratic principles aslaid down by Thom-
as sJeferson and other good old patriots of his
day. During the whole four years of war,
this paper maintained consistent .opposi-
ton to that unnatural strife, which position
the true Democrats heartily endorsed. The
Democratic party never can gain anything
for themselves as party or for the good of
the country by acknowledging the war just.
This paper never admitted any part of the
war to be right, but was opposed to it in
every conceivable shape, and treated it as
entirely wrong.
Now is the time to get up clubs for the
year 1867. This paper viii commence, the
next volume, January 5th, with new and
original romance, from the gifted and tai
ehted author, Prof WILLIAM II. PECK, Ct
louisiana. This story viii be written ex-
pressIy for the Day Book, and entitled:
@aT7se. Confederate Flag on the OCEAN,
twill be historical, with very little romance,
but a good deal of reality, much of it from
the lips of the very actors in the scenes
themselves. All who desire to see the open

Matrimonial Advice.

Our young women are cautioned
against marrying dissipated young
men; but with equal, if not greater pro.
priety, may not young men be caution
ed against marrying idle and extrava-
giant young women, for great many
unhappy marriages are the result of
the latter, as well as of the former.
Foolish mothers think they act af1cc-
tionately by indulging their daughters
in their fondness for the giddy pleas
ures of life, and allowing them to con-
tract habits of incidence, not dream
ing that they arc thereby unified for
the stern realities of life which must
surely await them. Let them marry
wealth or poverty, they will be unable
to support either condition Let them
remain single, and life will become
more and more burdensome as it ad-
vances.

THAT "GRAND OH PARrY."-A cor
respondent of the Guthrie Ledger asks
Gus if the Democratic party hasn't
made great sacrifices for the salvation
of the Union?" Not much to speak
of Mary Ann 1t made enormous sac
rifces to pull jeff. Davis through the
swamp of Secession, and plant his feet
on the ground of Confederate lndepcn-
dence. BY its infinite meanness, it pro-
longed the war about two years and a
half, murdered the President, and was
instrumental in numbering by starva,
tionin captivity, or by bullets in the
field, or by disease in the hospitals,
about three hundred thousand Union
soldies! The country is full of wild
ows and orphans, who have been made
such by that Grand old Party" which
has made SO many sacrifices, not fol
the salvation, but for the damnation oI
the Union. - Des Moines Register.

Congress.

In the Senate, joint resolution was
passed directing the Secretary of War
to take steps for preserving the graves
of the Union soldiers from dissertation
An important bill, defining therights
of national citizenship under the first
clause of the second section of tie
fourth article of the Constitution, and
furnishing their violation as crime
has been prepared by the Hon. Samuel
Shellabarger of Ohio, and will be i'll
troduced into Congress. The bill is de-
signed to throw the protection of the
nation over the loyal men of the South
from other States, who are now being
driven from that country. No law exc
!, cutting that clause in the Constitution
i has ever been passed, because no over
J whelming necessity for it was ever felt
before the war
4 The first section declares the rights
M,of national citizenship to be the right
81 to 60 through, and into, and to sojourn,
I. and reside in each State f; and there to
}, acquire, dispose of, and enjoy protec-
ton for person and property, to be ex-
N cmpt from unusual taxes, &c, and to
have equal redress in the Courts. The
second section Furnishes the attempt
. to deprive citizen of any Of these
rights by any manner Of intimidation,
1 but without violence. The third Sec
4 ton Furnishes with death murder COM
mitted in the attempt to deprive the
citizen Of the right to go into, OF
q through, any State, or of his right to
Il abide OF do business therein. The
8 fourth section Furnishes as felony,
4 manslaughter, or great bodily harm in
q flicted in attempting to deprive cti-
zen of anyright secured by the bill.
q The fifth section confines the benefits
of the bill to persons not criminals
and to loyal men.
The House unanimously adopted a
resolution instructing the judiciary
Committee to report bill to protect
soldiers and sailors from being cheated
by claim agents. Many of these agents,
says the resolution, refuse to pay over
moneys collected. Mr.. Farnsworth
stated that claim agents were sending
circulars all over the country, promis-
lux III DOuntiGS
land warrants. He desired to give
notice that these agents are "a set of
internal rascals and cheats" The
Speaker mentioned that his name had
been used by one George L. Lemon,
after he had refused to allow it.
In the Senate, on the 9th, the Loan
bill, as reported from the Finance Com
mittee, was taken up, and, after some
discussion, passed by vote of 32 to I.
The Loan bill passed precisely as it
left the House, and las been sent to
the President for his signature
In the House, series Of resolutions
instructing the Judiciary Committee
to inquire into the necessity for further
! Legislation for tile purpose Of bringing
jeff Davis to trial, was adopted. At
ter some other unimportant prelimina-
ry bushes, the Civil Rights bill was
taken up. The previous question was
moved, and despite the attempted fill
clustering of the copperheads, it was
seconded by the House, and the bill
passed by vote of l22 to Al. So it
is now q law.

AS there are none SO ioeak that we
may venture to injure them with inn
punity, SO there are none so i0lD that
they may not at some time be able To
repay an obligation. Therefore, what
benevolence would dictate, prudence
would confirm. For he that is eau
tions Of insulting the weakest, and
not above obliging the lowest, will
have attained such habits of forbear,
,ance and of complacency, as will Sc
cure him the good will of all that are
beneath him, and teach him how to
avoid the enmity of all that are above
him. For he that would not bruise
even worm will be still more cautious
how he treads upon serpent.
