Crossing the War Path.

- Ono xpsiter has said .1sNVan the politIcal
party that crosses the war path of its coun-
try" During the last two or three years the
leaders of the Democratic party have felt the
force of that saying, and have struggled to
ward it off. They know well enough that
their party made an ugly record at the be-
ginning and all through the war, and now
they are using all the means within their
power to cover up the tracks they made
with the rebels as they trotted along togeth-
er. But the loyal people of the country
cannot be made to close their eyes upon
those ugly footprints, and this generation
will pass away before they are forgotten.-
individuals may forget and be forgotten but
nations never.
Young as we are as a nation, history tells
us that three political parties have arisen and
crossed the war path OF their country. The
first was the Tory party in the war of the
Revolution. Those who composed il strutted
their brief hour upon the stage, and soon
were glad to seek hiding-places among the
enemies Of their country. But the loyal SEN
timent OF our nation, like stream OF bum
ing lava, followed them into their ignoble re-
trears. They are not forgotten although
three generations have passed away since
they appeared upon the stage and played
their miserable parts. The second party was
made up of those who were called Federal
ists." The members of this party were nev-
er ashamed of their organization, and had no
occasion to seek hiding places in foreign
land. They never ceased to boast of the ORR
gin of their party and to claim for it honor
and patriotism. But in an evil hour they,
too, crossed the war path of their country.
They are not forgotten, and the record they
made is still fresh in the remembrance of the
people. .....
The third party is composed of slavehold-
ers. Southern aristocrats and Northern
''dough faces" now better known as "Cop-
perheads," This party was in power when
the Rebellion commenced. The Democratic
President was surrounded by traitors and
hardly knew which way to turn, but follow
ing his political instincts, he crossed over 10
the enemies Of the government and carried
| with him all those Northern demagogues
who now rule the party and who recently
mingled in convention with Southern rebels
| to gain the ascendency and once more govern
the country. But do these political dema'
gogues suppose that the tracks they made in
| the war are so covered up that the people
cannot see them? The Tory and Federal
parties are not torgotton and their pathway is
| still remembered.
Never has a political party struggled hard
er to blot ont its record than the Democratic
party has during the last two years, but all il
vain. The Tories favored the enemy abroad
but the Democrats joined the enemy a
home. The American people will nevel
consent to be ruled by Copperheads The!
would sooner vote for Tory or Federalist,
if such thing were possible. All these par
ties are dead, the former already buried ant
the latter to be buried next November.

From the st. Louis Dispatch.l 1900,
W. 8. Hutchings, Of St.. Louis, the inventor,
has LAID his plains before the best aeronAuis in
America. and all pronounce 1t the only success
ever made in aerial navgston-in navigating the
air. and turning in any direction, ct any height,
with the pleasure of the navigator. This wonder
ful Invention of navigating the air has been the
study Of the past century and has at last been
successful The model has already been built;
is twenty eight inches in height, and works with
the utmost ease, and upon mechanical and philo-
sophical principles. rfs.1 1o r.-ro.fs 81 q
In constructing this machine, the laws Of grsvi.
tation have been well studied. The large ma
chine now In course of construction measures Is
feet ia height, with an expansion Of p feet; full
weight of the entire machine, 2S5 pounds; when
ready for aerial navigation, capable Of carrying
with ease In the air $50 pounds. The principle 10
entirely new, and the invention claims the COM
preston OF hot and cold air In running caloric
engine which is attached to the back The body
is enclosed In complete set of mail armor, made
Of vulcanized indis-rubber and brass with glass
in front, which protects the body and face from
the wind.
\ Attached to the engine and connected by means
Of a tube passing over the shoulder, is q large
cylinder containing the compressed air, which Is
worked with each hand. BY this means the navi-
gator can go up or down with ease, and regulate
the engine st his own leisure. Attached to the
feet, head and cylinder are doubled, inflated
wings, some four feet in length and BY means Of
cords and lndia-rubber valves attached to the fg-
wheels OF the engine are two large Inflated wings,
on the compressed air principle, eighteen feet Ia
length, and which turn with lightning speed in Q
circular revolution bearing the entire machine.
Immediately above the engine Is attached. by
means of CORDS. q large double infa ed parachute,
measuring sxty-six feeti circumference, with q
tube connecting from, the center with the calodc
engine. This is the protection In making an as.
cension without danger 10 the aeronaut ia case OF
accident OF breaking Of the machine. We under
stand the first trial viii take place near this city,
balloon at the height Of two thousand feet from
the earth and as the inventor proposes to ac-
complish this himself he has great confidence Ia
his own invention. If II is success aerial nsvi-
cation is certainly the most useful invention Of
modern tines outriyaling the telegraph or steam
navigation.

The gentleman whose name ID given above is
the nominated candidate of the Conservative
Democracy Of the Second District for Congress.
Bis personal history. his life long Democracy, the
remarkable unsnimity of the convention in his
selection as q candidate, and the hearty zeal Of
his many personal friends in support Of his cleo
ton, all point to him as ftly chosen to bear the
standard of Democracy in the pending election.
The nomination of Col. Mann is but at acknow,-
edgment Of the valuable services he has rendered
our people during the last three OF four years,
both here and during his summer visits at the
North. The steadfast and untiring efforts made
by him In our midst have not escaped the attention
Of every citizen who desires restoration of our
former peace and prosperity; but his frequent
and successful vi1dlcat0ns of our people at the
North, where be is not less fayorably known than
here, against the malignant and gross misrepre-
sensations so freely published against us by the
hired scribbers of corrupt and partizan press,
deserve some special comment,
Occupying political status that gave weight to
his opinions, and having large acquaintance and
ASSOCIATION with the representative men Of the
country, be has freely used both Of these advant
sges in defense Of our citizens, and to swell the
tide of conservative reaction now going on all
over the nation, and out of which must come the
redemption of our liberties. the bishment
of our State government, and the reproduction OF
our trsde and commerce. Col. Mann belongs TO
that class who never sink TO the level Of mere par
tizans. Always Union man and always DEM
ocrst, the clese of the war found him unchanged
in his devotion to the true principles of govern
ment as expounded by the great men of the coun-
try in ante bellum days. By these great principles
he has stood amid all the vicissitudes of the past
Whilst others, and even whole parties, have
drifted over seas of blood and tears to new and
untred political shores. he has remained steadfast
to the old land marks as the surest and safest
guides to public peace and prosperity.
In singular contrast is the description OF Col.
Mann with the one that might be given of his
chief opponent in the race for Congress, Simon
Jones, who was "rebel," so-called, and is now
q radical of the deepest and darkest hue.
The conservative people Of the Second District
have made q wise choice in their candidate for
Congress. and they will be recresnt to their own
interests il they do not bear him triumphsntly
through the canvass. DELTA.
