Dear Sas--In my business Of COMPRISING Cotton,

and is MUCH STRONGER than any other Tie.
Tie that is good at the Press is not good at the
plantation, nearly all the Cotton is compressed at
the ports and weak Tie must then be replaced by
good one at the expense of the planter. have never
seen one of your Ties break though | pitched bale
of Cotton secured by them of second story to the

Under these circumstances | unhesitatingy recon-
mend the Universal Tie to every planter as combin-

~ UE HAD NOTy WHAT THEN,

Some of our friends, especially those who
edit The AnH- Sldrery Standard, are needlessly
alarmed at the results of the recent elections.
IL could not be that the Republican party
would venture upon so great an achievement
for the country's peace, and ultimately IFS own
continuance i'm power, as the overthrow OF
the Presidents policy and the extension
of the right of suffrage TO the four
millions of emancpated blacks at the South,
without a reactionary waver OF vibration in its
majorities, like that it felt after 1t decreed
emancipation. But without the Proclamation
of Emancipation the Union would have been dis
solved and the Republican party, which eman-
cipation merely shook for the moment, would
have been utterly and disgracefully destroyed
for the want of il. So Of universal suffrage
and resistance to the Presidents policy. Admit
that they have diminished our majorltes IN
some States. or elected % few Democrats TO
unmportant Offices in others The result
achieved is worth sacrifices thousand fold
greater. They have secured the Reconstruction
of the Southern States and OF the Union on
that basis of universal suffrage without
which the Democratic party would have re-
turned TO national supremacy, the South
would have returned TO Slavery, or been
swept over by war of races, and
the Republican party would have been ground
to powder for its tilnidity and abandonment OF
the principles Of freedom. The rocking winds
strengthen the oak and give its roots deeper
and fimer hold. SO the measures which tenn
porarily jar the Republican party not only
have tended to secure us in our present ascend
oncy, but ultimately will add ton States to our
maiorities and will confirm 10 ia all the mower

And 80 long as jobbcrs may indulge a hope

The Springfield Republican seems to be
run in the interest of the Democratic party
and to furnish quotations for Copperhead
newspapers. Here is part of It's abuse of the
Republicans of Ohio:

The full returns will show that Mt least
100000 Ohio Republicans have voted for the
Suffrage Amendment, and not 10000 at most
against it, And majority of this $4,000 voted
not against cnflanchising Blacks, but against
DISTINGUISHING Whites. The Amendment pro-
yided that descrtcrs from our National armies
should not hencefolth vote. But of the 100000
Ohio soldiers mot Blacks) who were in the
National service good many abandoned their
colors and went home before they were dis
charged, mistakenly alleging that they had
right to do this so soon as the war was plac-
tically ended They thus stood catalogued as
deserters on the rolls of the War Department;
and-nOt choosing to be disfIanchiscd, nor even
TO have their right to vote diSputed-they
voted last Tuesday and induced their relatives
and friends to vote, against the Amendment.

we yielded to the Presidents Reconstruction
policy, the Democratic party and tho pro-
Slavery principles and disloyal men that in

power, not only in the South but in the Union.
Blind as a beetle is he who supposes the re

they should arouse us TO vigilance, they con
tain not even an indication Of failure, much

The Id District Republican Judicial Con-
vont;on meets at Brooklyn on Wednesday;
and it seems to be understood that Judge
Fullerton will decline being q candidate except
for the vacancy, for which he will have 10
opponent In that case we urge tho delegates
to consider well the propriety Of presenting the
name of JOIN W. BROWN of Orange County
Judge Brown served Il full term with eminent
ability and integrity, and his fitness fOr the post
needs 10 word of cOmmendation But we
would like n chance TO vote for him. not on
this account alone, but because, though Demo
crat, he stood by his country like a patriot
through the long dark years of our great strug-
gle. Dlsloyalty in word or deed he never failed
to rebukc and there was no hour of the con-
test in which his heart and voice were not fully
on the side Of his country. We said this in
1855 when ho was a candidate for the Court OF
Appeals on the Democratic State Ticket; we
gratefully repeat it now, when he is not can
ddate at all We know nothing of his views
and wishes; bat, if he does not absolutely
refuse to run, We hOpe his name may be

Mr.. T. H. Sweetser, the gentleman who failed
TO get the Democratic nomination for Governor
of Massachusetts the other day, made speech
at the nominating convention, and some OF the
Democratic papers like it so much that they
have kept on printing and reprintns 1t
ever since. Mr. Sweetser's discourse was
a sort of wall over the general cussed-
ness of the political situation and among
other lamentable things which afflicted his
melancholy soul was this: Worst OF all,
said he, "we find here and there springing up
" throughout the country this and that poiiti-
" clan. with some scheme for getting rid OF the
"national debt without in fact paying it,
Here was a direct blow at Mr. Vallandigham,
straight between the eyes; and how Mr. Sweet
ser. even in the hour of his chagrin could
reconcile it with his political conscience to
throw dirt at the great Democratic apostle OF
reputation, we are at a loss to imagine. lie
may have been ont of temper at the ballot for
candidates, but that is no excuse for him. He
ought to have reflected that his defeat in the
convention saved him from much more NOR

The Road went by Fort lIarker, and three
miles beyond created Junction City. The
frontier was changed in a day. Immediately
the large military work at Harker ceased to
bo an outpost, and the troops quartered there
went to the West. This very month Fort
Hayes will also cease to be an outpost and be-
come an inpost. SO will Fort Wallace by the
middle of May next. The Kansas Pacific Kali
way pushes "the Plains" further and further
West, saves the Government the necessity and
expense of permanent forts, and narrows the
field of operations against the Indians. The
army officers regard it professionally, and con-
slider it the most important military agency IN
the enfectual settlement of the Indian Question.
