NUMpER OF WoRns IN UsK--Prof; Mex
Muller, quotes the statement Of a clergy
man, that some of the laborers in his parish
had not three hundred words In their vo.
cabulary. A well-educnted person seldom
uses more than about three thousand or
four thousand words In actual conversation.
Accurate thinkers aud close reasouers, who
select with great nicely the words that ex-
actly fit their meaning. employ q much
larger stock; and eloquent speakers may
rise to n command Of ten thousand words.
Shakespeare, who displayed greater variety
of expression than probably any other
writer in any Language, produced all hia

Hayes is o free Trade man. 1t is
true that he voted against the gener-
al Tariff Bill of last session, but SO
did many of the best ProtectioniCts
of the country, East and West But
he voted for the Special Tariff Bill,
which was the only one in which our
people had direct interest, and
though not prepared to vote for Qny
Tariff Bill presented in Congress, he
is as sound upon the question gener-
ally, rs any man in the Union. Those
who started the report are not the
friends of Protection nor of the Re
public party, and none should be led

Want War.

Our Democratic friends, on paper
seem to want war. They are quot
ing extracts from the Declaration o1
Independence regarding the griev-
ances of the Colonists, and seem tc
think the Government now, in about
the same manner, is expressing the
people and deduce therefrom that 8
rebellion against it would be justi.
fable.
No one need fear a war from this
Democratic talk. They oppose war,
unless some one else will fight their
battles. There is no danger of their
making any more war thsn can be
brought about by loud talking.
Those Democrats who are SO op
pressed by the Government of the
United States ought to shake off the
dust of their feet against her and go
to Canads, ireland, Germany, OF
some other country where they could
be free from oppression.

above places good speakers will be
on hand and we hope our friends will
see that a good crowd is present.
The issues this Fall are important
and it deyolves upon Union men to
see that all meetings are well at
tended, that all may understand ex-
actly what each party is seeking af-
ter. Stir UP the people to attend the
meetings and get them in every way
enlisted for the cause Of right.

How They Fear Him.

Democracy fear the negro to an

Regarding the fall campaign they can

ticket or defeating this just amend.
ment, they would take the latter.
Talk with one of them and see il
he does not say 81 know of more
than twenty Republicans" - this
supposed class they always speak ol
as Republicans and not as Abolition.
ists-"who are going to vote against
tire Amendment" We hope they
will hug this fond delusion to their
bosoms till election day, for at that
time their eyes will be opened. We
do not believe there is one Republi.
can in the county who Will vote
against the Amendment. Republi.
cans read-they post themselves up.
on all the questions of the day-they
keep closely up to the march Of events
they are Republicans, and as a ne.
cessity believe in justice to all men.
Democrats have an idea that be.
cause their party is behind the times
lis not capable of understanding
the logic of cvents-the Republicans
are in the same fix. 1t is not the
case at all. Republicans know jus,
what the bess interests of the country
demand, and will not fail to grant it
No Republican will vote Nay to the
Amendment-not even if Democrats
say he will.
