Benjamin Franklin, the philosopher of
common-scnse, wrote in 1869: GA policy
of Life Assurance is the cheapest and safest
mode of making certain provision for
ones family. 1t is time our people under
stood and practised more generally Life AS
surance. Many widow and orphan have
had reason to be grateful that the advantage
of Life Assurance was understood and en-
braccd by the husband or father. A large
amount has been paid in this city Uondon)
by the Life Assurance companies to wild
ows and orphans, when it formed almost
their only resource
Lord Lyndhurst, late Lord Chancellor of
England, declared from the woolsack. A
Policy of Life Assurance is always an evil
dence of prudent forcthought; no man with
dependant family is free from reproach if
not assured"
at is every mans duty to provide for
his family.
In life assurance there are no risks or
contingencies. Other investments may fail
A house may burn down. Banks may
break and their stock be worthless. Bonds
and mortgages may be seized for debt, and
all property, or evidences of property may
/ fall into the bottomless gulf of bankruptcy.
But money secured to your family by life
assurance will go to them without fail or
interruption, provided you have used due
discretion, in the selection of sound and
honorable assurance company. OF two
courses, and of which may leave your fami-
ly destitute, and the other of which assures
them comfortable support at your decease,
can there be doubt which isto be chesenf
! Con there be doubt about duty ?"
Easier for a Man to pay his
Premium than for a Family
to live without his Aid and
without Means.

The President Views ON the Political SAT-
uataon.
The kepubhcan gives! an account Of an inter
view had wifh the President on Saturday, by 9
Conservative Republican, in which the President
freely expressed himself on the late elections. Il
says
cent election in Ohio, where two great parties pre-
scented each it's ticket. The people looked at them
both discriminatory, and took the soldier standard
bearer Hays of the Republican partyI-thus
seemingly rebuking the Democrats for nominating
a vallandingham man like Thurman, instead of a
soldier 20 and accepted and elected the Legislature
vent the reelection Of a Radical like MIR. Wade,
thus repudiating the two extremes in politics, and
ing question OF negro equality beneath 2 majority
of fifty thousand votes The President listened to
this statement, and said .
ut is a remarkable fact. 1t is tho logic of
events. It Is the true lesson Of the election. And
what makes the fact still more remarkable is, that
this wonderful discrimination was made by the
traordinary results we're obtained in the face of the
misrepresentation that were constantly made in
the press and upon the stump, and furthermore,
OF the Radicals and the treasure OF their wealthy
men was poured out like water to aid them id
carrying the State. The people have conquered in
right way for others, .disregarding the two danger
GUS extremes, and taking the safe, high conserve
tive ground as laid down in the August Philadel-
phia Convention Of 1866 upon the Constitution, for
the preservation of the States, and in favor Of pure
loyalty and a united and free country. +
During this conversation, a very brief synopsis
that he thought the lesson taught by the people Of
EOhio, as Indicted above, was correct, and he had
been and should be guided by it. He said the
unauthorized and untrue. W6atevershe did in
that direction would be the subject Of careful
good, SC far as it was in his power to reach such q
reaplts-lW ash tngtQn Empress. .4g
