WEDDINGS.

Faith p in the Independent, dis
courses thus of VVeddiugs:i'
Did any of you ever think for an in
slant what reason prompts nine-tenths
of the girls to marry, anywhere from
eighteen to twenty-five? Is it because
stthev are dead in love'3 with the object
of their choice2 Nothing of the sort;''
rather from this tTuth-thab they'd
ftdie before they'd be old maids" Then
too, it's a grand nice thing to have an
elegant new wardrobe, not to mention
the sensation they make when they are
married. Shame colors my cheeks at
the remembrance that my own sex are
not truer to their higher principles IN
this matter. And, much as I dislike to
say it. I will in Justice affirm that more
men marry for love than women. The
grand mistake Of both parties is this /:
They marry for halcyon days alone F:
they think Of naught but the ruby-hued
boys they may quaff while the sun
shines. The evil dRys-when the bright
cheeks are pale, the teeth gone, hair
thin and gray---are not reekOned as part
of their lot. They query not Of their
own hearts. Is your love and devotion
wide and strong enough 60 endure the
end? No it's not these thoughts that
I'LL their minds. It's our house, cur
carriage, our servants We viii keep now,
or some time when the papas die and
leave the pockets. Isn't it SO, girls and
boys?
The woman rarely hears the "stilI,
small voice. that asks, Should your
husband prove unsuccessful in his fu-
turn business career, could you, with
bonny sweet smile, say, "Never mind (;
Wen climb the hill together !" and, do
ing your part we'll, make life blessing
to both No; she doesn't entertain
that. or the still more important query.

ioys and sorroWs, and he, proving weak,
fall into error, is there love and deyO-
ton enough 20 sustain you without
dinching till you win him back from sin
and dissipation ~ The conflict will be
fearful and long hence, be prepared,
my sisters, to conquer in these strug-
giles, if they are sent upon you, ere you
promise to Glove, honor and obey"
And the husbands he quite sure that,

A SUGGESTTON

The Presidential campaign is at hand,
and the TING has already come when it
beho0ves every friend Of Republican
principles to consider how he may most
efficiently aid their triumph in the con-
test. Our enemies have already begun
their Vaccinations, and are prepared
with a thorough and efficient organiza-
ton for the struggle. Republicans
should not delay a moment to avail
themselves of every legitimate means
to checkmate their designs and coun-
tervail their insipient and insidious ef-
forts to poison the public mind.
To accomplish this purpose we know
of no means that viii compare in eff
cheney with the circulation of energetic
and orthodoz Republican newspapers.
It is an engine Of power which is felt
whenever and wherever used, and there
is none equal to it, We have but little
faith in the propTiety of distributing
long speeches, commonly known as
documents, p during the excitement Of
a campaign. They may be very good
to listen to when first delivered, but it
is a task to read them which few have
the patience or time to accomplish. If
a voter reads through one in the course
/ of a campaign he thinks he is doing a
great deal, and yet that one may not
have touched at all upon a hundred of
I the local or subordinate questions in
volved in the canvass. The newspaper
takes up every subject and every ques-
tinn- as it comes along, and instead of
may be logical argument which few
care to read and fewer get the force OF,
it presents each of the issues involved
in a popular manner, and in the way
most likely. to secure the attention of
the masses. The newspaper comes
bright and fresh every day or week and
is morally certain to be read, more or
less, by the recipient, while the "doou-
ment' is regarded as a sort of stale af-
fair, and we believe in nine cases out Of
ten laid aside and never afterwards
thought Of,
These, and many other considerations
| that might be named, make the news
paper far more potent as a political en-
gine than the distribution and even We
/ believe the making of speeches. Our
/ enemies understood this and took ad-
vantage of it in the late canvass in this
State. The paid agents of the Column
/ bus Statesman and Cincinnati Enquirer
were sent everywhere to solicit subscrf-
bers and obtain the names of ''doubt-
full persons to whom the papers might
be sent gratuitously provided they were
unable or unwilling to subscribe. These
efforts told against us fearfully on cleo
tion day because, except in a very few
instances, there was no corresponding
effort made on our side. There is per-
haps one exception in the publication
Of Democrats speeches by the Cinein-
natl Commercial, but who ever heard Of
the Cincinnati Enquirer publishing Re
publican speeches ? ~
! Now the suggestion we have to make
is that all who have an interest in the
success Of our cause make a special af-
} fort to aid in the circulation Of sound
and energetic Republican papers. Il
the local paper can be most efficient Let
that be used; if not, not. AS a general
thing, however, we believe it is true Of
the local press Of the State that none
better can be employed, and none ID

The prospect for the Republican party
in the approaching Presidential canvass
is full of encouragement. We see moth
ing in it that should cause any one to
despair or feel. gloomy. While "Peace
hath her victories no less than War, 3"
it is equally true that both have their
reverses. Bnt reverse now does not
prove us wrong or augur our ultimate
defeat any more than it did on the field
of Bull Run or Shiloh, s'Our cause is
just and shall yet triumphn was our
watchword then and should be now
Our standard may 50 down for the mo-
ment, but brave hands and unflinchiDg
hearts win pluck it up and carry it for
ward to victory. The party of Right
and Progress has an inherent vitality
which none other possesses, and can
endure thousand defeats without ruin
which to others might result from one.
q 1t is not reasonable to expect that in
ordinary times any party should per-
manently maintain sweeping major
ity in the country, or unlimited control
of the government, State and National
Nor is it best. Sweet are the uses o.
adversity for parties as well as indiyid

Qua late reYerses consist rather Of re
dUced victories than Of utter defeats
They are just the experiences most val
uable to any party when ON the eve O
a PresidentiaI contest and to our mind
they are the haIbingers of coming tri.
umph and not disaster. In matters ot
principle our party stands where il
stood throughout all the great struggle
for the Union, and its. principles are
such as mast be maintained or free GOV.

Some errors made in hastily copying
our abstract of votes from the official
abstract at the Clerks Office, led us into
the error Of saying last week that Ter
ribs vote for Treasurer was the largest
Democratic vote cast in the county
The fact is it was the smallest, being on
ly 2230, or 81 less than Thurman's. The
largest Democratic vote east was that
for Lewis Evans for Senator, being 2315,
and this we believe is tire. largest DEM
ocratic vote ever. .polled in this county.
But the suffrage amendment received
2444 yes votes, or 129 more than were
cast for Evans, and consequently lbs
more than ever was cast for any Demo
cratic candidate in the county. That is
to say, the people Of Delaware county
prefer negro suffrage 20 Copperheadism
by The pretty emphatic majority of 129
Their choice is commendable and does
them credit.
