ing, from abundant data before us, that
the entire Democracy of the country arc
most thoroughly organized. Sound the
augle; everything is ready for the charge
"Takc the standard, Seymour, now,
Its folds nre pure and fair.
And thou, Missouris champion,
Stand by him, glorious Blairl
A million hearts shall beat W it'll yours
Obey the Nations call;
We've sworn topntyou in the Chair,
Wc'll show them in the Fall.
"On that flag the words are writ,
They stand forth clear and bright,
"l'he God who made this nation great
lie made it for the White"
The negro rule and negro vote,
And Freedmcn's Bureau--all
Arc doomed to death, their knell rung;
Wen show them in the Fall"

Urging Another

Democracy Urging Another
! War.
The following extract from the La Crosse
Democrat, one of the most widely circu-
lating papers in the land, lays bare the
course the Democracy par excellence
has determined upon. Loyal and good
men should ponder its teachings and con-
slider where the Democratic party is now
tending:
awe want men for President and Vice
President who have nerve, pluck, and
military spirit and daring ! who, if they
receive majority of white votes of the
United States, including yours, men of the
South, will march to Washington at the
head of, and backed by, the white men of
America, and take their seats and rein au-
gUrate the white mans Government, in
spite of man or deviH
" They will 60 either with their shields
OF upon them!' Dead or alive, they go,
borne, if need be, by million of armed
men
"And whatever may be the progress or
condition Of mOngrel reconstructiOn-let
your States be organized into black States,
or stand, as they do now, in state of poll
lical chaos-yOu men of the South must
record your votes, and they must be
counted, and as that vote shall show, to-
gether with the votes cast by the white |
m N Of'tle North, a majority for or against
our candidates, so shall the result be de-
clared, and so shall it stand and be carried
ouu
"If this brings bloOdshed, then let blood |
flow! I
"If this carries war into the manufac- |
turing districts and commercial cities of
the North; If the torch which has blazed
through the South, leaving nothing but
desolste hearthstones and blackened
ruins, visits the grand structures and cost
~ machinery of Lowell and Lawrence,
built by the poor mans sweat and made
by tribute wrung from the
poor mans earnings, and levels with the
dust the proud and boasted palaces of
Stewart and others, who arrogate the title
Of "Dderchant Prince" in our land, then
let the torch blaze and cOnhsgration run
riot
"Let all this, and more and worse come,
# they will have it so, rather than ac-
knowledge the just right to yield to the
-ightful supremacy of the white men of
America.
"I4et our candidates be pledged to this,
md possess the supreme qualities of resO-
ution and courage to carry the thing
through, and triumph is certain"

Where late wander'd, seeking the rich boon
Of health, and fellowship with those dear friends
Whose minds congenial gain'd my earnest love-

Vibrates to touch electrio-spirit seems
To influence spirits and pencil forth
On Memorys tablet all the pleasing past.
Fancy sits In lions Court and lists
To Gospel truths, breathed forth by one claims
A passing tribute in the group draw.

On sootia's rugged soil, till Pspal wars

To md refuge In the Emerald IsIs,
Where IdOI-wOrphip still they dare defy,
And We'leys faith their earnest hearts engage.

Fervent in prayer, till impressed with awe,

Since the last Of December, Cotton
has advanced from 15R cents for mid
ding uplands to about "a cents per
ID. in the new York market, though it
has declined to 224 cents within the
last few days This has been a god
send for the South, where it has had
a very reviving effect upon business.
Many parties have realized an ad-
Of fifty dollars per bale. The cause Of
the advance is generally attributed to
the fears Ofa short supply in Eng
land, which have led the manufao-
turers to rush into the market to Sc
cure stocks.
The total exports from the United
States since Sept. 1st, 1867, reach
$4,000 bales, in round numbers,
against $4,000 for the same period
last year, and the stock now on hand
at all our ports is only 1863, 600 bales,
against 631, 900 bales at the same
date last year. These figures seem to
give some grounds for the opinion Of
a short supply. Cotton goods have
already commenced advancing.

A BROWN COUNTY PIONEER.-Ths
Ripley Bee makes the followi Y inter-
esting notice of the recent birthday
celebration Of one of the surviving
pioneers Of Brown county:
"The 88th birthday of Mr.. William
West, Sen., Of Byrd township, this
county, was celebrated on last Satur-
day, at his residence. Col. George
Edwards, at the advanced age Of 81
years, Uncle of Mr.. West, was present,
and was represented by four genera
tiOns. A splendid dinner was served
up and a good social time generally
INDUCED in. Mr.. West has been
resident Of this county for more than
eighty years, and for more than half
IA centuary residing on his present
farm, near Decatur. Where Ripley
now stands was once his favOrits hunt
ing ground for deer, bear, &c. One af-
ternOOn he killed a black bear not O
hundred yards from the door of his
dwelling. Frequently he has given
US accounts Of his trips to Cincinnati,
then Fort Washington, with canoe
loads of fish. The town was composed
.Of few log huts and fort at that
time As an illustration Ofthe rapid
growth Of the country, the following
will give some idea: A colt having
strayed, he followed it to the SciOrO
river, and stopped at a house on this
side of the river, just opposite the
present site Of Columbus, which was
then all wilderness, over night. In
conversation with his landlord, he
learned that he had taken up the ami
NAL. On starting for home the next
morning, the gentleman offered him
the whole of the land on which Col
umbus is built for the colt, but he
deemed the colt Of the most value and
brought it home.

In my Gard Of Nov. ], 1857, stated that,
e'fOr the purpose OF mOre-fulIy supply
ing the wants Of the public, and in
order to prevent umseruPuIOus dealers
from paIming on inferior and WORTH
less goods as the Morton Gold Pens, I
shall hereafter sell no goods at whole
sale except only to duly appointed and
authorized Agents,'' etc. To this plan
have since strictly adhered.
In accepting Agents, great care has been
exercised to appoint those who, by long
continued fair dealing, have acquired a
reputation for honesty, responsibility, and
probity-men in whose word the public
have learned 70 place confidence. These
Agents have agreed to keep q full assort-
ment Of my pens, and TO sell them at my
published prices. Thus the public are sup
piled BY them with just auoh pens as they
want, either as TO writing or price, and get
q full equivalent for the money paid.
No agent Is appointed to travel from
place to place, OF canvass the country,
so that all who want a Norton Gold Pen
must get it from the Local Agent or from
headquarters.
None need apply for the Agency ezospt
IN conformity to the above, the liberal dis
sount 81 To Clubs'' being sufRoient induce.

We do not know what they can do
better than to spread their light pin
