LOVINGLY KIND.-The Union man seems
to again have on him one of his peculiar fits
of kindness and great yearning for the future
welfare of Toledo. Under the head of s4Iowa
Central Railroad" he grows exceedingly kind
He thinks there are only the reryJtw who can
not see that the interests OF Tama City and
Toledo are one, and these few are making
great efforts TO keep up o strife between the
two places. If there is any one man who does
more Mt this work than does the Idion man,
where he resides we q 9 no. able to de- ermine
Under the caption 'Spiritualism Confirmed
quite q different spirit prevails, here he gets
on one Of his .'crazy fits and wades into the
editors Of the REPUBLICAN for writing o Rail-
road article claiming that the same article
was the editorial of the St. Louis r publican
Of the osth Of October, and appeared as edito-
rial in our paper on the 9Th inst. You are
not only drunk, but blind as a bat Mr.. Union
for the article did not appear in our editorial
column at all, it is true We should have cred
tied the article 10 the st. Louis Republican, but
we did not. We hope that the editorial aid
which you have procured, will exercise a little
common sense, and not be another .old sore
headed bear and tc continually growing.

The enlargement of the GAZETTE gave great
satisfaction to our numerous friends yester-
day. Congratulations we're the order Of the
day on al sides. These congratulations were
the more hearty because the enlargement was
unheralded and unexpected, and because
made in the face Of our rigid exclusion of in
decent advertisements from the columns OF
the GAZETTE.
The GAZETTE is now Of the same width and
only Two inches shorter than the Missouri
Democrat, and Of the same width and only one
inch shorter than the Cincinnati Cazeus and
Chicago Journal. These papers fix their SUBJ
scription at twelve dollars per annum, by
mail, and twenty-five cents per week by car
rier, while the GAZETTE is furnished at nine
dollars q year and twenty cents per week.

We consider the Gizette one Of the best pa.

its visits are greatly prized.

There are q few cases on record where a
wig has saved . mans life, and q few more
where il might have saved his life if he had
worn one. Absalom fine head Of hair was
his destruction, when he was caught in the
boughs Of the oak, and the man who had his
wig torn from his head under the s~calping
knife Of a savage, might have thanked his
stars for his capillary deformity. Still, as a
general rule, badness is nat desirable, nor
have We heard Of q case where premature grey
hair was either ornamental or beneficial
'Barrett's Vegetable Hair Restorative is re.
markably successful in removing premature
grey hair and preventing badness.

COOPERATIVE ruRCHAsING.-The common
practice Of buying groceries and other such
necessary articles in small quantities and
paying heavy profits TO retailers, as they can
not sell in small quantities unless their prof is
are corrcspondingly large, seems to US . fool
ish one. In such cases all the little items in
balancing the scales 60 against the buyer of
limited means. In view of these facts, those
who buy in SINAI! quantities ought TO resort
to the cooperative plan. Where a few thus
combine the extra expenses are much reduced.
all of which is q clear gain to the buyer. Lei
those now making fail Purchases try it once
and see if they do not like it. It is being done
in many places and ought to be done in many
more.

EDITOR REpUBLlcAx.-Iu your issue of the
9Th inst, is an article over the signature of
L. Merchant, charging me with sundry Of
fences, and among others the following:
LIST, That l frequently referred to him and
asked him questions during my little speech.
This | utterly deny, Is l do not notice such
small potatoes in public-especially since the
Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York elections.
I'd, No other speaker referred to or asked him
any questions, until his squeaking voice was
heard in the crowd, asking if this was not the
first Dcmoc ratio victory since that Of Bull
Run.
Sd, If Lewis Merchant will ask me private
ly, l will give him the key to the toast that
was given that night, and if these wholesale
charges made by him Of "Traitor," 'Drunk>
ard and '~'disloyalty," are continued much
longer, ! shall give my reasons to the public
for Offering the toast. Those rho Ave in glass

lis there not some excuse for me 1.-THE old
Belle Weather. on such occasions to get a
lete set up, or any other good Democrat, if he
felt like il? but the impudence displayed by
Lewis in this charge is most absurd. A man
who has drank As much sod-corn whiskey as
he especially when he was SO poor he had to
keepadoggery for Tama county. It comes with
rather bad grace.

Billiards. Panorama Of New York is deci-
dcdly the the best work Of the kind l ever
saw To one familiar with .Broadway,''
''Castle Garden Trinity Church." and the
streets and prominent buildings Of the great
City, it seem like looking at the veritable
spots, and walking amid the actual scenes, so
life>like is the painting put upon the moving
canvass.
Tie lecturer, Mr.. Norton, seems to have
been disguised with the old ''sing-song
style Of explanation, SO much in vogue among
Panorama men, aud gives a concise and life.
like description Of the scenes and incidents
portrayed. In short, it pays well 10 visit this

assert that ten States are out of the
Union. Still you declare no policy.
The people ask you for speedy settle
ment of our national difficulties on the
basis of peace and concord, and in place
of this your only plan seems to be to
place millions of the people of the Union
under the iron heel of u military despo-
tism. AS we have said before, like your
leader, Phillips, you are powerful to
destroy, but powerless to build up. In
your mad zeal you have neary destroyed
the Government. We, the Democracy,
now stand ready to assist you in knit
ting together its ragged ends, and we
want you to do something If there is
any virtue in you.
Mr.. MCAMANT.-As Andy John
son is tailor and is willing to assist
you, il will not need any help from us.
Mr.. CHALFANT.-And johnson
is trying to patch it up, but you will not
allow him to do it.
Mr.. Speaker, in the latter part of my
remarks have diverged somewhat from
the legitimate argument on the amend-
ments to repel some charges which are
being continually made in this Chamber
against the Democratic party, charges
which have no foundation in truth, and
which have been time and again repell-
cd.
In conclusion, Mr.. Speaker, If it were
not for the monstrosities which are ev-
cry day brought forth, should feel as
sured in saying that it cannot be posi-
BILE that Pennsylvania will ever give her
sanction to these proposed mis-called
amendments to the Constitution.
But as it is have no such assurance. l
confess that l have strong fears that
they will be adopted, fears which leave
but little room for hope of their defeat.
But be the result as it may, my vote
shall be recorded against them. And
while live / shall point to the record
of that vote as an evidence of my 10y
atty, Ito use much abused word,) to
the Constitution which our Fathers gave
us, and to the Government which they
established. And depend upon it, there
is day coming, when, if these amend
ments are adopted, the curses of a ma
ton will fall upon the heads of their
projectors.
