Confscation.

Just after the South seeded. and JEFF.
federacy. he issued sweeping procla
nation confseating all the moneys owed i
BY Southren men 10 Northern capitalists +
anu property owned in the South by men /
cred fair by the Democracy of the North.
" lat right had Northern man to at
tempt to collect debt from one of the
chiyalrous sons OF the South For such
property. The Democracy said.it was
all right But when the Government. AT
an immense expenditure OF treasure and
sacrifice of life, had sul(iued the rebel
lion, re established its authority, and
applied the same rule to the South, a cry
OF horror went mp from the lips OF every
rebel North and South They denounc
ed it as unjust, ungenerous, barbarous.
and without a precedent, and a never
ending source of trouble. Thus we see
that it was light for a pseudo govern
meut t. rob capitalists of their property,
but wrong for the Government 10 pun
ish its rehellious subject by confscating
that which they had forfeited. Again.
when the Government established the
blockade, another cry of anguish went
up from the same source; but when the
rebels let loose their pirate ships, sweep
ing from the waters almost the last YES
tige of American shipping, it was all
right. A great hue and cry was raised
against Butler, s.the beast for the al
legged offense of stealing silver ware, but
the fondness of Semmes for chronom e.
tiers was applauded as showing a refined
taste and months after the war was
over, one of these piratical craft was in
the northern seas, destroying or driving
i from those waters every thing which sail
/ cd under the stars and stripes. This
was all approved by the Democratic par
/ ty. Conliscation, piracy, and the des-
/ truction Of the Union was 4 Legitimate
| business, but the preservation Of the
+ Union and tue punishment of crime, was
/ considered gross violation of the con
situation.
Thus we see the Democratic praty be-
came the apologists for secession, piracy
i and the long list of crimes which have
swept over the country since 1860. Deny
i it as they may, they can never rid them
selves of the disgrace of encouraging
/ piracy, and aiding in the attempt to des-
/ troy the Union. With such record as
/ this they ask the people to entrust them
with State and National affairs And
worse than all, they ask the soldiers to
support their claims, protesting the
warmest friendship for them, when but
! a few short months since they were Lin
coin hirelings and robbers.

Crops and Weather.

\ revolution has taken place during
the past fortnight in the temperature of
the atmos ptlere Up to the first of June
the season was unusually cold and back
ward, although wheat and oats were do
ing we'll But since the beginning of
est. Vegetation has seemed to advance
more rapidly than for the same period
in many years Never did grass or grain
acquire greater growth in so short a
time. The trees. almost leadess ten days
ago, are now in full verdure. and The
corn, of which the farmers almost des-
paired in May, now promises a better
crop than we have had in the past five
years The last day of May hardly a
spear of corn could be seen above the
ground; but now the farmers are busy
cultivating among the long green rows,
with hardly missing bali. and at the
present rate of growth it will be difficult
to get through the fields twice before the
stalks are too large. We have Just re-
turned from Davenport, and everywhere
the growing crops look finely. More
ground has been put into wheat, oats and
corn than ever before. and unless some
dread and unforeseen calamity befalis
us, every granary in the State will run
over after the coming harvest -Repub-

The Mismi county Republican has the
following account of Dreadful death
occurring on the 18Th inst:
s-Jacob Palmer, who was the owner Of
q mill on Eel river, two miles west of
Mexico. in this county, went into the
lower part of his mill among the machin-
cry, whilst it was running. to drive in a
loosened wedge. He called 20 hand
above for an axe which was handed to
him. In few moments afterwards it
was observed by the workmen that some
thing had interfered with the machin-
cry, and the speed Of the mill was check
ed. Upon looking for the cause, Mr.
Palmer was found corpse, caugh in the
machinery and terribly mangled
The deceased was about 30 years of
age, ard was worthy citizen. highly es-
teen,ed by all who knew him.

kentucky Politics.

N0utucky FoIttico.
The Delaocrat:c majority in Kentucky
is about forty-tw thousand against
about thirty. eight thousand in 1866.
Those who are anxious to intrust the
Government OF our country or of any
State TO the same party are referred TO
Kentucky. In that State as in the mum.
icipal Government Of tlle city OF New
York, the blessings OF Democratic as
tendency are manifested, as they were
in the administrations of Pierce and Blu
chansn. in the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise, the attempt TO force slav-
cry upon Kansas, the bred Scott decIs
ion, and, finally, in thc rebellion plotted
by Democratic Senators and Democrat
ic Cabinet with the imhecile connivaIce
of Democratic President, These arc
advantages OF Democratic rule still quite
fresh in the popular mihd
In Kentucky the Democratic majority
means simply majority of those who
sympathizcd with the rebellion. 1t was
Democratic Governor Of that State who
returned an insulting reply to President
Lincoin's summons for troops, and the
Democratic ascendency kept the State
from ever being truly loyal. Had the
Democratic loyalty Of Kentucky been
that of tue whole land, JeH Davis and
his friends would have oyerthrown the
Government and ruined the country with
in the first six months OF the rebellion.
The tiercest of the unreconstructed reb-
els in the Southern State hailed the re-
suit of the Come cticut election, because
they thought that It showed a-tenioncy
in other States TO join Kentucky, and
they knew that when the politics OF Ken
lucky are those of the country the polit
far as possible, and repudistion, conapen-
satioa for slavery, the invaldity of the
emancipation amendment. and uncondi
tional restoration to Congress, will not
be as dimly distant they now are.
Ke.tucky is Democratic 1t was tn e
only State not openly in rebellion which
was thoroughly Democratic through the
war and there was no State rot in insur-
rection In which secession had such sin
cere sympathy. We DO not forget the
brave men of Kentucky who volunteer
ed for the cause, and who noblv fought
at home and abroad, and whose patriotic
devotion was all the greater because they
were greatly outnumbered But true as
they were they did not s1Jeak for the
State. They were the political minority.
They are the minority still. But they
arc now coming to see that that might
be the majority if all loyal men, black
and white. were voters. The Dem ocracy,
which iBstinctiveIy hates equal rights
and loves caste and privilege, viii of
course resist such result But it is this
very resistance. this steady hostility to
human rights and consequent nation al
peace and prosperity. which has fully
reveal eel the real character of the reac-
tionary faction which is known as the
Democratic party
The dominance Of that party makes
Kentucky what it is. Those who wish
other States to resemble Kentucky will
naturally work and pray fer Democratic
rule t1arpers Weekly.
