More Truth than Poetry.

Every one, who reads at all, knows
there are but two parties-the Union
party, which fought to maintain the
Government, and the Democratic
party, which fought to destroy the
Government. These are the two,
and only two. Every man must be
arrayed in one or the other. Choose
ye, which you will do battle for. You
cannot serve two masters The
Democratic party is solidly united
North and South. Every rebel,
from the highest to the lowest, is 2
member of this party! Every man
who raised his arm against the Gov.
ernment is in full fellowship in the
Democratic party. Every man who
is guilty of starving Union prisoners
is saint in the Democratic partyl--
Every man who still boasts of his
cruelties and his crimes against the
Government, is member in high
standing in the Democratic party
Every man who is still plotting trea-
son and all its attendant evils. is an
active, working member Of the Dem
ocratic party! Let no man be de
ceiyed in these things. They are
true. Every man who casts his vote
for the Democratic party lends his
aid to the South--the men who
fought to destroy the Government

A Funny pog story.

When the war in Italy commenced,
the Zouayes embarked for Genoa;
bat as they we're going on board the
ship, they saw q formal order forbid
ding the entrance. Of all dogs upon
The vessel. AS they were very much
attached to their dogs. they were
stricken with grief. 1t was not easy
10 deceive the sharp lookout kept by
the intendent, for every soldier adj
yanced along the narrow gangway
one by one, as their names we're cal
led. Necessity is the mother of in
vention. The drummers uRscrewed
their drums and the best dogs of the
regiment were concealed in the
drums which were screwed up again.
When regiments embark no music
is played. but on this occasion the
Colonel determined there should be
music. he ordered the ;rumpets and
drums to take the head OF the column
and to play 4 lively tune. The face
of the drummers-every one of whom
had = dog in his lisdrum-may be con-
ceived! The trHmpets sounded; the
drums were silent. The Colonel got
angry and bawled to know why the
drums did not beat. The moment
the drums began to beat innumera-
BILE dogs began to howl and bay, TO
the astonishment OF everybody but
the ZonayeS. Everybody looked
right, left, backward, forward-no
sign of Il dog anywhere; and vet, the
more the drummers beat the more
the dogs hovled. At last a spaniel
Tel out of n drum, relied over and
over on the ground, got up and took
to his heels, bowling louder than
eyer Roars Of laughter greeted
this explanation of the mysterious
howls. The intendants ordered the
drummers to advance on board, one
by one, and 70 roll the drum as he
came. II barking was heard, the
drum was unserewed, and the dog
put ashore. Only one deg got on
board; this was Touton, who kept
quiet through all the rolling. 1t
need not be said that the Third Zou-
aves adore Touten. He made his
entree into Paris, at their head,

THE VETO OF THE COLORADO Bull.
The statement Of the Hon. ID. p.
Wilson, Speaker OF the Colorado
House Of Representatives touching
the Presidents veto OF the bill adj
hitting Colorado as State will be,
if substantiated, very damaging TO
the Presidents reputation as states
man. It shows him in the light of a
very strong partisan, governed in his
decision upon questions that should
be determined by loftier considera-
tions, By partisan motives;
"Mr. Wilson says the President at
first manifested great anxiety that
Colorado should be admitted. and
told its Senators, Dr. Evans and Mr..
Chafiee, that he was only restrained
from incorporating recommends
tion in his last annual message for
their admission for fear, as he con-
iidently stated to those gentlemen,
that it would injure them with the
id Radicals He thought at that
time they were All right Subse-
quently, Congress having nscertained
that they were all right from the
Congressional stand point, bill was
passed for their admission. The
President, suspecting from the una
nimity of feeling in their favor among
the Radicals that all was not right,
sent for the waiting Senators and
told them if they would sign paper
indorsing my policy he would at
once sign the bill. They refused,
and straightway Mr.. Johnson sent in
his veto message. So it seems thst
the drawback of an insufficieney of
population, on which the veto mes
sage was predicated, was not disccv-
cred or considered as an objection
by Mr. johnson until he learned that
the admission of Colorado would In
crease the Union strength in the
National Congress"

Hon. John T. wilson.

This gentleman, as most of our
resders know, wss nominated on
" ednesday last, 20 represent the
Eleventh District in the XLth Con
gross. OF Mr. Wilson's character
and standing-hoth politically aud
morally-it is hardly necessary for
us to speak. Every man who is in
the habit oil forming the acquaintance
of public men. know him. A great
many others have formed his ac-
quaintance through business rela-
tons. To none OF such could we
commend him. To be acquainted
with Mr. Wilson is sufficient to at
tsch you to him, irresistihly His
plan, unassuming, honest Gemeanor
is at once striking. He might with
truth even be compared with hr.
Lincoln. He is without malice to
any-good will toward au-iollowing
the right as God gives him to see the
right. No money or consideration
can corrupt him. No fear of per
sonal enmities can appall lie will
attend faithfully 10 any public trust
committed to his keeping. This
sterling, honest character of Mr..
Wilson, even in politics, parallels
with Mr.. Moore. his antagonist, so
strikingly, that everybody must nee
essarily notice it. Mr. Moore has
been drifting in politics hither, thith-
er, anywhere-without compass, rud-
der, or helm, and, when in a calm,
without anchor. This unstableness
comes of casting away all principle,
and looking only to chances of sue
cess. Not SO with Mr. Wilson-his
political action is always determined
by well founded and defined political
beliefs. In a word, he is thoroughly
and strictly an honest man in poll
ties.
Like Mr. Moore, he has served his
country in the tented field; only he
enlisted as private and was elected
commander OF his company His
only son lost his life in the public
service. leaving Mr.. Wilson childless.
Mr Wilson himself came home from
the army broken down in health and
strength. Let us then remember,
that we have an honest man and a
true soldier as our standard bearer.

FALL PLowIEG CLAY LASDs.-Our
farmers are learning one very I'M
portant thing in farming our clay
lands-that is, fall plowing, if done
at the right time and well done
Although il does not accord with the
views of our examplers, yet experi-
ence has taught US its great benefit
No machinery yet invented can fine
our clay land like the frosts of
winter. I can convince any one il
they will only look on piece OF
barley here, part fall plowed snd
part spring plowed. But the benefit
to the crop is not sll--we can plo8
for one-half the cost in the fall
Our teams are in good condition,
and ready, with . small expense for

A Stunning Story,

''Gris," Of the Cincinnati Times,
visited the Richmond, Indiana,
Horse Fair Q few days ago, and
among other things that he beheld,
refers to the following:
Thes stone swallower, the gentle
man with 4 morbid appetite for juFe-
nile boulders, who swallows stone rs
though they were cherries, held US
spellbound He must have added at
least twelve stones to his weight
while we were looking at him. His
attendant said be evineed this extra
ordinary appetite sc = very tender
age. Z tso6ght at must ifaTebeea
at a presty tough age. His parents
first had their attention called to it
ell account of the repeated and mys-
terions disappearance of o gravel
walk in front OF the house They.
would hau! on more gravel, but it
would likewise disappear. One morn
ing they caught their cherub boy
breakfasting on the gravel walk.
They could't break him of the habit.
They tried all known remedies for
gravel, but without success. He
even wanted to sleep in a gravel bed
which was near the house. AS he
grew older he left Off gravel for p0b-
bic stones. Brooks in the vicinity
that used to Wurmur over pebble
bottoms, got so that they didn' mur-
mur over them any more. He eat
the pubbles all uP, and the brooks
used to mHmur over it. There
wasn't enough small stones left in
the street for the boys to snow bail
with. They tried to build turnpike
through the town, but 'twsnt no use
All the stones they could break up
during the day, this boy would eat
up at night, which finally broke up
the turnpike He would only drink
out of 4 stone jug, (swallowing the
stone) and couldn't be persuaded to
ride upon anything bnt stone boat.

THE KENTUCKY ELECTION. The
Louisville Journals comment on the
result Of the election have a graver
import than the language which is
ordinarily employed to announce
defeat 1t says:
According to present appear
ances, Kentucky has gone for Duvall

VIC expected. but it is none the less
painful to US on that account We
do not believe that we have predict

we have solemn fears that the future
is darker than we have pictured it
Kentucky, if VIC are not more mista-
than We ever were in oar lives, will
yet bitterly rue and deeply curse the
unnatural and deplorahle work Of
yesterday.
We do not choose to comment'at
any length upon Mondays election
until we get further returns. The
task dosn't promise to be so pleasant
q one that We need be in q hurry to
perform it. Whether DuvalPs
powerful vote is attributable to the
fact that the cry of a coalition with
the Radicals was every where raised
against the conservative Union
party, or the fact that Kentucky
actually is and has all along been
secretely pro-rebel or rebel syInpa

will under all circumstances, think
rs favorable of Kentucky as we can.
We have rendered her too many
fayors, and received too many from
her, to yield a ready belief to any
thing tending to her disparagement.
But her people have not unfrequent
" gone wrong in elections, and we
do not think they ever went half as
wrong before rs they appear to have
done last Monday. tits no eonsula-
ton to us, but rather a deep grief to
think that, if they have committed
fearful error, its deadly weight will
fall chiefly upon themselves; and
our regret on their accounts scarce
