the matter and intrinsic value of his
able and earnest address, but for the
readiness which he evinced to speak

abounded with practical, useful i'll

Senator Frelinghuysen, of New
jersey, adds his voice to that of Sena-
tor Wilson and others who declare
that the reconstruction act of the last
Congress will be finally, if it be ac-
cepted by the South. He says the
faith of the nation is pledged to the
readmission of the Southern States to
the Union and of their representatives
to Congress, upon their compliance
with the terms of this law.-Vicksburg

CLARENDON HOTEL, Jan. 8, 1860.
My Dear Friend: / wrote you an
unsatisfactory note day or two since.
1 have just had pleasant interview
with Mr.. Shepley. whose courage and
fidelity are equal to his learning and
talents. He says he would rather
fight the battle with you as the stand
ard bearer in 1860 than under the
auspices Of any other leader. The
feeling and Judgment of Mr.. S. in this
relation is, I am confident, rapidly
gaining ground in New England. Our
people are looking for the coming
man"-one who is raised by all the
elements of his character above the
atmosphere ordinarily breathed by
politicians a man really fitted for this
exigency by his ability, courage,
broad statesmanship I End patriotism:
rived here this morning, and express
ed his views in this relation in almost
the identical language used by Mr..
Shepley. 1t is true that in the pres
ent state of things at Washington and
throughout the country no man can
predict what changes two or three
months may bring forth. Let me
suggest that in the running debates in
Congress full justice seems to me not
to have been done to the Democracy
of the North. / do not believe that
our friends at the South have any just
idea of the state of feeling hurrying at
this moment to the pitch of intense
evaporation between those who re-
spect their political obligations and
those who have apparently no impell-
ing power but that which fanatical pas
sion on the subject of domestic slave
ry imparts.
Without discussing the question of
right, of abstract power to secede,
have never believed that actual dis
ruption of the Union can occur with
out blood. And if through the mad
ness of Northern Abolitionists that
lire calamity must come, the fighting
will not be along Mason Dixon's line
merely 1t will be within our own
in our own streets, between
he two classes of citizens to whom I
lave referred, those who defy law and
cout constitutional obligations will,

REPARATOR CAPILLI


For restoring hair upon bald heads (from
whatever cause it may have fallen oltt) and
forcing growth of hair upon the face, it has
no equal. 1t will force the beard to grow
upon the smoothest face in from five to eight
weeks, or hair upon bald heads in from two
to three months. A few ignorant practition.
ers have asserted that there is nothing that
will force or hasten the growth of the hair
or beard. Their assertions are false, as
thousands of living witnesses (from their
own experience) can bear witness. But
many will say, how are we to distinguish the
genuine from the spurious2 1t certainly is
difficult, as nine-tenths of the different Pre-
parations advertised for the bair and beard
are entirely worthless, and you may have al
ready thrown away large amounts in their
purchase. To such we would say. try the

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

Of all the odd mixtures and unheard OF
peculiarities that have existed on earth
since Adam was ycarling, it is believed
there has been nothing which could at all
compare with modern democracy. 1t has
always been supposed that Party was
a body of men of the same opinion, but
here are class calling themselves party
and hardly any two of them thinking
alike. or expressing the same opinion on
any subject whatever.
During the rebellion one part of this
Party believed that vigorous prosecu-
ton of the war was all that could save
the country, the other-the larger part
thought that all who went into the ser
vice went for the pay and the steaiings,
and called them Lincoln hirelings,
''besotted minions os despotism'' with
many other pleasing epithets. One part
now believes that negro suffrage is all
right, the other believes that the slave
being free it is all he has any right to
ask. And so we might enumerate by the
hour the idosyncrasies of this once pow

TENNESSEE ELECTION.

Old BrOwnlOW Is reelected Hurrahi
We are glad Of it. 1t is said his major
ity will reach 5O.OO0-so much the better.
The election took place on the first of the
month. All the eight congressional can
didatcs were elected by strong majorities.
An exchange says the result is as crafty
ing to loyal men as it is disheartening to
rebels 1t is the first experiment in i'm
partial suffrage In a State involved in the
rebellion, and although the telegraph in
forms us that colored men were not per
mitted to vote In many of the country
precincts. the experiment has been iusti
fed The ex-rebels boasted after the
passage of the franchise they would be
able to control the colored vote, but the
result has shown their mistake. The
freedmen have gone almost solid for the
candidates of the Republican party, show
ing their ability, at once to distinguish
between the party of freedom and loyalty
and that of treason and slavery, and vim
dicating their right to the ballot. In
this respect they haye proved their su-
periority to many of their masters, who,
although processing loyalty, vote for and
with those for and with whom they voted
during the rebellion. and with the same
motives Disregarding all threats to
prescribe them, and deprive them Of en-
ployment if they should refuse to accept
the dictation of their late masters, they
have manifested an independence proving
their fitness for the exercise of the ballot.
We now have in the very heart of the
South, among the late rebel States them
selves, fortress of loyalty-a State as
Radical as Massachusetts, or Illinois.
Henceforth freedom of speech and of the
press is guaranteed in Tennessee beyond
the power of its enemies to overthrow it.
From that State as center will go out
spirit which will permeate and indoctri-
nate the South and render it, by the
admission of the loyal freedmen into the
body polite, as radical in its loyalty as it
has heretofore been conservative in its
treason. We congratulate the loyal meh
of Tennessee on the result, and accept it
as an omen of coming triumph in every
| Southern State.

democratic party to power and correct

plicity of his democratic co-workers. -
The following passage from the letter is

the government objected to his raising
rebel troops in the northern states! Has
he forgotten the fact that nine-tenths of
the soldiers In the field uoted the Repub-
tscdn ticket Has he forgotten the Chica-

Democracy! There is something in
that word which the people like, it has
a good sound, and its real meaning is so
significant too-'government by the
people. Yes the party which boasts
such name ought to do well, but let us
see if those who now claim the title are
consistent, are in fact deserving of this
proud, distinctive appelation. How long

class of our people in chains. Was that
democratic? How long is it since they
sympathized with the enemies of our
governments government constituted

full; and democrat will be looked upon
