The Issue--LOyaItY or Treason

We are inclined to believe that the
New York Convention made a great
mistake in not nominating Robert E.
Lee instead of Horatio Seymour for
the Presidency, Lee was unquestion.
ably the choice oftwo- thirds Of the del
egates, but from mistaken motives of
expediency they chose Seymour. Is
there Democrat who will vote for Sey-
mour who would not have voted for
Leei Is tsupposed fora moment that
Seymour will get a vote outside the
Democratic party1 And yet while each
would poll the full party strength--no
more, no less--General Lee would
arouse an enthusiasm in the Democrat
10 breast that would know no bounds.
We believe it would be better for the
country to have settled direct issue be-
tween the Union and its enemies, now.
Was the rebellion wrong, or was it
right9 That is the question which will
always be uppermost, until settled one
way or the other, finally and forever.
We should prefer Lee, we should say,
as the opponent Of General Grant, be-
cause Lee has never made any profess
ions Of love for the Union, while Sey-
mour claims to have been Union man
during the war, and in the face of his
former speeches now pretends to say
that he was opposed TO secession.
While we do not admit for moment
that the issue is at all different from
what il would be if Lee or Breckenridge
was the Democratic candidate, still In
the latter contest would be relieved Of
all those collateral and nom essential
issues which will be raised to conceal
tho real issue in the struggle Coiaalba'

Farming in Jackson COunty-.NO.1O.
By THE EDITOR.

-
| said some time ago that there were
few meadows in this county when farm
ers were first commencing. The first
meadows cleared were always in the
bottoms. 1t was thought that grass
would not grow upon the hills But
that was great mistake. The best
grass now grows upon the hills. Clover
was then almost unknown. Red top
was the grass generally sown. There
was very little timothy.
When saw the work done by the
moving machines on last Saturday, and
the hay raked together by horse rake,
l thought of how it was done when l
was boy. The grass was then cut
with a scythe, generally early in the
morning. 1t was then scattered with
a wooden fork. No iron or steel forks
were then used. In the evening the
hay was raked together with these
wooden forks. No rake of any kind
was used. 1t was then put into small
punches or cocks, and in few days
hauled and stacked. It was hauled by
putting a grape vine around it near the
ground, and slid along on the ground.
Scythe snaths made by machinery
were unknown. A stick with the
proper bend was selected from the
woods, and the scythe fastened upon it,
and braced near the heel, by a small
rod hooked in a hole in tho scythe, and
the other end nailed upon the snath.
This rod was called grass nail.
My father used a kind of scythe call
ed Dutch scythe. 1t was shorter than
the English scythe, and had a fat,
broad, thin blade. When it was sharp
ened it was not ground, but hammered.
An anvil was used made like a chisel
with the point ground off square. The
edge Of the scythe was laid upon this
anvil and hammered until it became SO
thin that it could be bentby rolling the
thumb nail under it. This scythe was
made of a kind of very tough steel,
and after being thus hammered and
then whetted, it was very keen, and cut
closely.

Please ExcuSe Us.

D. Appleton d Co. have sent us the
prospectus of a new book called "De-
mocracy in the United States" They
propose to send us the book if we will
give their prospectus three inse rtions.
This book promises, among other things,
the following:
"It depicts the devotion of the Dem
ocratic party to the Constitution and the
laws, in all the crises and emergencies
of the country.
1t traces the conflict between FEEDER
alism and Democracy, and contends that
the Democratic party has always been
true to the Union, whether disunion
was threatened by Northern Federal
lists, or Southern Secessionists."
Please excuse us. We do not want
the book. We remember something
about this party. A man may come
along and claim that he can cure rheum-
atism in Eve minutes with stump water
be may claim that he can cure naralcy
and pll0'alcy in two minutes, and some
will believe him, but when he claims
that the Democratic party has always
been true to the Union," why, that ia
putting 1t on too thick, We do moi
want the book.

Democratic Soldiers.

1t has always been mystery to us how
any soldier who fought to put down the
rebellion, can vote the Democratic
ticket Yet we find few such soldiers,
and even some of them will consent to
go upon the ticket of that party as can
didates for Office.
The New York Day Book is an ortho-
dox Democratic paper, and supports
Seymour with enthusiasm In the last
number Of that paper we find the fol-
lowing editorial. We ask all Demo-
cratic soldiers who were honest in their
efforts to put down the rebellion, to
read it. And we believe all the COM
mon soldiers were honest in serving
their country.
Here is what this Democratic organ
says about the business in which you
were recently engaged:
"In Belmonts late little speech at
the opening of the Democratic Conven-
ton, he eulogized the war as having
"vindicated the law" Will Mr.. Bel
mont, or bis newspaper, the World, or
"any other man." just tell us what law
the war has "vindicatedi" We can
point to many laws it has destroyed, but
we may deny that it has vindicated
single law, aud we challenge the evil
dence that it has. Name the law, or
stop this brainless boasting of the good
it has done. 1t is time the Democrat
ic party, at any rate, washed its hands
ofthe accursed and infamous negro war,
and Of all aud Of everybody that are not
ashamed of the part they took in it."
My Democratic soldier friend, are
you ASHAMED. of the part you took in the
"accursed and Infamous negro warT"
Ifso, vote the Democratic ticketi if not,
if you are proud of having helped to
whip tho accursed rebels, then come
out from this rebel party.

The Ner civil War

Audacity, violence, and revolutionary
frenzy blew their breath so furiously
through the scrannel- pipes of fTammany
that already the whole land rings with
the echo. "We regard, says the plat
form-and let the American people give
heed !--"we regard the Reconstruction
Acts (so- -called) of Congress as usurpa-
tions, and unconstitutional, NULL, and
VOID" ~.
AS an official commentary on this
text, Frank Blair, in the letter which
secured him his nomination--a letter
which that nomination unanimously
approved--declares
"There is but one way to restore the
Government and the Constitution and
that is for the President elect to declare
these acts null and votd, compel the army to
undo its usurpatioaS at the South, disperSe
the carPet-bag State governments, ailow The
tOhite pcopte TO organize their OUa goDerR-
nleats and elect senator's and Representatives..
The House Of Representatives wiA contain a
majority Of Democrats from the North, and
they viH admit the representatives elected By
tho White people Of the South and, oith the
cooperation Of The President, il ,oiH not be
difficult to compel The Senate to submit once
more to The obligations Of the Constitution. 3"
This.is the matured plan This is
the Democratic party's prospective pol.
icy! This is its beautiful method of
harmonizing a distracted couutry!-
This is the proposed use Of universal
amnesty!
This policy means the dispersion of
the Senate at the point of the bayonet.
1t means the notification of every new
state government throughout the South.
1t means the crushing Of Southern
loyalists under the heel Of rebel aristoe-
racy, 1t means the rendition OF the
negro to his former master, in a serf-
dom differing only in the name from
slavery 1t means the putting of both
houses of Congress under military rule
till they shall receive law from, instead
of giving law to, the President of the
United States. 1t means the inaugura-
tion of civil war.
The new policy is as great an affront
to the American people as South Car
olina's Ordinance of Secession, or her
first gun at Sumter,
Let there be in 1853, as there was in
1861, an uprising of the loyal masses
of all parties, who, with patriotic for
getfuness of past differences, shall re-
unite their forces for the suppression Of
a rebellion which was supposed to be
crushed at Appamattox Court House,
but which has broken out anew at Tam
many Hall.--N Y, Independent

BY THE EDITOR,


The Democrats have nominated John
Sanns ofGallipolis as their candidate for
Congress. No one thought of him as
a candidate, and when the delegates re-
turned from Portsmouth and reported
his nomination, so little was he known,
that everybody was asking "who is
Sanns?" The Democrats do not even
know his name, and spell it Sands
The people about Oak Hill know him.
And I know him. The people there re-
member the brilliant career of the young
DR.. in the summer of 1S49-his part

since.
When Sanns was at Oak Hill l was
living there, and about completing my
reading Of the law. David Alban Of

nrThe New York Indepn1dent. 4

wThe New York Independent, in
speaking of the nomination of Seymour
for President, SAYS
Seymour, who had been looked upon
as a candidate, had, nevertheless,
months ago, been commanded by his
physician to refrain from the excite
ments of q political canvass, With no
disposition to speak ungenerously OF
any mans infrmity, we think II never
theless due to the public to state that
Seymour Is not without painful appre-
tensions Of a stealthily approaching in
sanity, which is creeping like a shadow
into his braini a calamity from which
we sincerely hope he may be spared
tor bis worst political enemy could not
wish such an affection to befall him, II
was on account Of these apprehensions
that, months ago, he published a letter
declining to be a candidate. Then
again, Just before the Convention as
sembled (these forebodings still in his
mind), he stated to the New York dele
cation, in positive and peremptory
words, that his name must not be pre-.
sented. He had, moreover, some time
before, informed Pendleton that, while
he would not be his supporter, he would
not be his rival; aud it was to this
pledge to which Seymour referred wher
be said, in one Of his speeches in Tn,
Convention, that he could not sin hon
or" bs a candidate.

DIR. Holm Sands.

There has been great inquiry since
Wednesday last, in our city, as to who
this gentleman is. We all know that
he was put Up on that day as the can
didate of the "war-a-f failure" party for
congress, but we do not know that we
ever heard his name breathed before.
A democrat remarked to US Immediate
ly after the nomination, that he "knew
he couldn't be much, or he would have
heard of him." We think so too.
Any man who is fitted to sit among the
honored representatives of this nation,
will have made a fame that reaches be-
yond the street on which he does busi-
ness. But the man Sands, the nominee
for congress on the Democratic ticket,
is known only to those who have been
his next neighbors. Not so with our
nominee, John T. Wilson. His fame
is widespread as an honest man, of re-
markable talents as legislator and a
man of far-seeing business capacity
As gallant soldier, who having one
child only, it is known, he took all and
laid it down as a sacrifice to the perpe-
tuity of a government he loved. He
certainly is more deserving now of the
confidence OF that government, than
the man who stood behind a counter,
being in the prime of life, dealing out
humbug decoctions to a too conGding
and patient constituency, when the be-
loved fabric of our government was
almost tottering to its fall. Mr.. Sands
even had no word of encouragement to
the soldier to enlist, and certainly no
stomach to enlist himself, Shall we,
then, honor him for his cowardice, or
at least his indifference as to whether
the government survived or went un-
der, and omit to reward him who per-
illed all for our safety Oh, yes, dem
ocrats, vote against the soldier, while
you enjoy the peace that his life was
exposed to win. We shall not do so,
however.
The above is from the Portsmouth
Republican. We see that our Ports
mouth friends do not even know the
name Of the Democratic nominee.
