other Democrats in Congress IN.
cludIng Benjamin G. Harris's vauni
that the rebellion never could nor
ought 10 be put down, we leave
them to Mr.. Ashley, or whoever
shall soc ft 10 answer Messrs. VIM
field and Hunter, not according to
their folly. Just a word, hewover,
to the former Of these gentlemen.--
One Of the very foremost Demo-
Gratis in bis district is Cor was)
Gen. Archibald c. Niven, who,
very early in the war wrote o let
ter to a nephew who meditated en-
listment to fight for the Union,
urging him not to do 80, and rep.
rescnting the war on our side as
cruelly oppressive and unjust.
That letter was published; and
thereupon General Niven was
made the Democratic candidate
for Senator in Mr.. Win6eld's pre-
else district, and received the full
Democratic vote by which he was
returned elected; but the Senate,
on a contest, gave the seat to his
Republican competitor Judge Low.
We might multiply such facts to
infnity,; but need we? Suffice it
that, as the result of most anx-
ious, intent contemplation Of the
history Of our great struggle, we do
undoubtedly believe that the Dem
ocrats, as a party, werc not at
heart for the Union in its terrible
struggle with secession--that they
did not rejoice at its triumphs nor
depIore its defeats. Wedonot say
that a majority Of them wished the
Union permanently dissolved ; We
know and have often stated, that
they did not; but they believed
that Union defeats and disasters
would discredit and destroy the Re-
publican asccndency, and that they
would thereupon come into power
and coax the rebels back into the
Union by all manner of conces-
siohs and prostrations to slave
power. They bad no notion that
the Union could or should be saw
ed otherwise than by letting tho
Shareholders have their way in it;
and the road to this, they realized,
lay not through Union victories,
but the contrary.
Firmly grounded in this convic-
ton, are we at liberty to proclaim
it? Do we deserve TO be knocked
down and stamped on whenever we
say what we believe? or only be
branded as liars? What say you,
Messrs. Winfield and Hunter?

Building on the Sand.

'Tis we'll to WOO. It's well 10 we'd,
For so the world hath done,
Since rnyrties grew and roses blew,
And morning brought the sun.
But have q care, ye young and fair,
Be sure you pledge the truth;
Be certain that your toye will wear
Beyond the days Of youth
For II YOU have not heart for heart,
Aswellas hand for hand,.l
You'lldndyou've played an unWise part,
And "built upon the sand
IT'S we'll to save. IT'S well TO have
Agoodly store Of gold.
And hold enough Of shining stuff,
For charity is cold.
But place not all your hopes and trust
On what the deep mine brings;
We cannot live with yellow dust -
unmixed with purer things.
And he who piles up dust alone,
viii often have 10 stand
Beside his Golfer chest and own
He "bullt upon the sand"
IT'S good to speak in kindly guise,
And soothe where'er you can;
Fair speech should bind the human leart
And love link man to man.
But stay not at the gentle words;
Let deeds like language dwell;
The one who pitles starving birds,
Should scatter crumbs rs well.
The mercy that is warm and true
Must lend helping hand,
For those who talk, yet fail 20 do,
But "build upon the sand.' I

How to keep Sweet Potatoes.

method Of keeping sweet potatoes, as fol.

air dry sand by spreading it on boards or
board walk; dig the potatoes in the
morning and pick them in tho afternoon,
before the dew falls, throwing out all the
bruised ones. packed them ia -four bar,

Cold fall rains, on cold, damp sand, make
