From the Nel" York Sunday Times and NE,1-
S'7igcr, Il democratic paper.
1t has ever been said of The Bnurbons,
ig Europe. that "th"v never learn any,
thing and never iorget"-thnt ~, they
can never di>ernbmrrHsS themselves. OF
old ideas or adapt themselves TO the
progress of the age. Ii is inst so with
the democratic leaders in some States
in this country. They cling fondIy to
dead issues. They stubboruly close
their eyes to the march of public Opin-
ion. Lik" the "Black Dutch of Penn
sylvanin las the old joke records it, }
they would still vote ut every election
for Andrew jackson, and propose to
vote for him during this and the next
century. They ignore existing events.
They politically live only amid the de-
funct and buried days gone by. They
are the Rip Van Wrinkles of tho
political age, and though walked
up from their slumbcr at every
election when regularly defeated
by men of living views and current
sentiments, they go to sleep again
and rchcarscthc same old farce for the
ballot box on the next occasion.
Maine, New Jersey, Ohio and Pennsyl-
wanna are notable illustrations of this
fact. The Ohio Democrats COuEd cling
to their peace doctrines though they
were doctrines VIGOROUSLY repudinted
in every loyal State. OF course the
radicals carried the State. New Jersey
ICOuid do the same absurd and nutloua-
ted thing, and of course the same re-
suit followed, although IL was so criti-
cally important to the life of the nation
That the result should be the reverse
Maine has just followed suit. She must
put up an nnti-war candidate. Even
the Democrats would not vote for him.
and 10! an increased radical majority.
Pennsylvania, instigated by the same
faulty, has copied Names idiotic ex-
ample in her gubernatoral nomination,
and we shall, indeed, be ngrecnblv dis
appointed if another radical triumph be
not the prompt result. A peace-demo-
crat like Clymer can have but small
chance agningt a war-advOcate like Gen
Geary. The Pennsylvania democracy
has simply repeated its suicidal policy
ana must expect repetition of dis
cOmtiture. If 1t lCiH cling to dead and
gone political issues, instead Ofkeeping
up with the march of events. it can
only hope to be buried beyond all res
direction, and the eiTete ideas to which
it clings so insauely. The worst of it is,
the Pennsylvania election precedcs the
New York so closely that Il disastrous
result there always exercises pernic.
tOus influence here. This is to be la
mented, for New York has done well.
She has made her nominations fairly,
squarely and intelligently. They meet,
on both sides, the living issues of the
day in straightforward and manly
hummer. 1t would be pity, therefore,.
to see such n fair popular contest
marred by the result of IL Pennsylva-

T"E southern papers print letter
from Jacob Thompson, Buchanan's &C.
ceding Secretary OF the Interior, and
one of those for whose arrest on "a charge
OF completely in the nss;ssination of Mr.
Lincoln, the President offered "a reward.
The writer complains that great wrong
has been done to him by this accusa-
ton; but he still thinks the Presidents
policy is the only one that can restore
constitutional liberty to the South, and
he does not wish to embarruss him by
any demand for PREPARATION. Mr..
Thompson lhmcnts his exile, but as
there Is no security for person, proper
ty or reputation" in this country, he
declines any attempt to return TO its
unEraIOfuI soil. We suppose that in
spite oFthe treason that this man has
Internationally committed, and the
fouier crime with which he has been
publicly charged by tho President, he
would be safer to-day in the interior OF
Mississippi than l0yalInan.

Tho New York Herald Processes to
hav" reliable report OF late CONVEX
sation by the President with II member
Ofhis cabinet, in which he (tho PrCsi-
dCntl attributed "thC failure of tho Phil
"dUlphia CoppCrheRd movement matn-
~ to the failure of the democratic aud
conservative politicians to put their
best men III nomination, and not TO
any unsoundnrSs in his doctrine"
According to the HcrGld'S correspond
ont the President constructs the tCndcu-
cy Of things Mt the North as defeat in
advance of his policy. lie, therefore, is
seeking way out of his prodiCNmcnt.
Accordingly correspondence has been
"oPEned with tho Governors of the
lately re6ClliOus States las to the pro-
priCty, in Wow Of the success Of the Con-
Ercssional plan at tho North, "ofrntiTy-
ing the Constitutional Amendment" 1t
is further stated by the HcraIf'S corres-
pondCnt that
"Tho Governors of South Carolina
and Alabama have already replied, sig
nityiug II readiness to NSSSuble tho
Legislatures ofthCir States and recon-
the President adjudgcs it expe,lieut to
do so, or to cooperate with hinrin any
course hc may deem it advisable to
pursue"
Whether tho foregoing is reliable or
not we cannot say. We give it as we
find it in the Herald, which ofteutimcs
contains sensation news of this charnc-
ter manufactured for II purpose. But
whether such is or is not the view ofthe
President in regard to a change of buse,
or rather u change of front on the
Amendment, it seems certain that some
of the Southern newspapers, seeing the
necessity for such change i'll view OF
the certainty of the success of the
Amendment, are advising their people
TO make haste and adopt it as the only
reliable and speedy means of cffecting
n restoration OF their representation i'll
Congress, and their general participa-
ton in the Government. The Herald
quotes from Georgia paper as follows:
1.-The North will adopt it in spite of
them; and by refusal or neglect to adopt
it, we still postpone restoration and
hold ourselves still liable to disfrnu-
chisement, negro suffrage and coniisca-
ton, one OF which, il not all, will very
probably be put upon us, to make us
accept the amendment.
1--WE believe II is true that this con-
stituttonMl amendment is the ultima
/ tum, that is to say, the mildeSt terms
/ the victorious North will offer us, and
the South will gain much and lose
nothing by its speedy adoption"

THE Westminster Rcucw says that
the little simple speech delivered by
Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg on the
10Th of November, 1868, will live in
history when the elegiac eloquence of
Aucydides over the dead heroes of
Greece shall be forgotten. 1t calls the
speech one of natures master pieces.
The words are few that compose it, but
for terseness and for pathos, for heart
and for head, it would be difficult to
find its equal in all the records OF for
ensic eloquence.
The speech reads as follows:
" Four score and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth upon this CONT
nent II new nation. concerned IN liberty
and Dedicated 10 the proposition that all
men are created CYuIi. Now we are en-
gagged in great evil war, testing whe-
Their that nation, or any nation so con-
celVed or dedicated, can long endure.
We are met on great battlefield of that
war. We are met to dedicate portion
of 1t nS the final resling-place of those
who here gave their lives that that ma
ton might live. 1t is altogether fitting
hnd proper that we should do this. But
IN u large sense we cannot cOnsecrnte.
we cannot hHllOw this ground. The
brave men living and dead, who struS-
Gled here, have cOnsecrated it tar above
our power to add or dctract. The world
Will little note nor long remember what
we say here, but it can never forget
what they did here. 1t is for us, the
living, rather to be dedicated to the un-
finished work that they have thus far
so nobly carried on. 1t is rather for us
here to be dedicated to the great task
remaining before us-that from these
honored dead 'rc take increased dcrotiou

The rats are swnrning the country
west and northwest of this. They
seem to be migrating southwark, and
the wentherseers predict that there will
he very severe winter. In mnny
places the rats have destroyed the corn,
sweet potatoes, and tomatoes; and they
have got into the orchards, and climb
ing the trees, they have destroyed much
; irult. The great rat army reached New
Chstine, Drake county, the other dny,
and forthwith their scouts took possess

the place, whose stable floor hnd given
out, determined to have it replaced with
new one. On examining into the
matter, 1t WIS asccrIained that the
space under tho floor was literally
packed full of rntsl Tho owner immG-
dimtely circulated the word, and all the
lnie men and dogs in the village were
collected together, and the place was
surrounded. The wOrkmen then prO-

work of slaughter. And they did not
