evidence tonight that the people Of this great
and that they had resolved that victory should again
perish upon the standard Of the democratic party.
He felt fully satisfied that the people were now fully
through the corrupt and abusive and tyrannous leg
slation and administration OF the republican party,
which was fast dragging the country to consolida-
ton. The country was formed as a government OF
sovereign confederacies; it the doctrine OF SELF

way. And this evil Of governmental consolidation

The speaker then compared the rise and progress of
the country during the fifty years preceding the war
with the terrible extravaganza, corruption and
tyranny which had characterized the domination OK

war, the issues leading to which were forced upon
the country by that party.

Immense Turnout Of the Red
Hot Democracy.
Grand Council Of Sachems in
the Wigwam.
BRILLIANT 1oRcHLleHT PROCESSION
IMMENSE ENTHUSIASM.


II has been said by the opponents Of the democ-
Iacy that II had gone to sleep; that anticipating
sound thrashing In the prize ring Of the Union In
November, It had thrown up the gloves refused to
20 into training and that all 1t really cared for in
this State to make John 7. Holman Governor and
keep Horatio Seymour on his Deerfeld farm, in
Oneida county at q safe distance from all harm.
Ihisy N may be repeated, was the very comfortable
talk Of the republicans among themselves up to
eight O'Clock last evening, when, as If aroused by an
earalquake-lke electrical shock, they rubbed their
eyes sharply to find that the grand old gladiator
who had fought in SO many arenas and
In few beaten, was not only wide awake
but a. well trained. as sinewy, as confident Of vic
cory - ever. In q word, while the repubcans-hay-
ing become convinced that there would be no fight
worth figuring up0n-were themselves really asleep
ct their posts In their 'tanneres,n getting their
skins thoroughly stepped in the astringent waters OF
the political vat, their opponents were quietly but
heartily and unitedly at work preparing themselves
for the Inevitable contest which, and they have their
way. would on the 4th Of March, $780, inaugurate
policy that is Numerically opposed to that which
their opponents in. the development Of the national
policy avow.
Putting speculation and metaphor aside 1t cannot
be denied that the grand democratic demonstration
Of last night, which also was county ratification
turn ont Of the people In favor Of Horatio Seymour
for President Frank p Blair for Vice President and
John T. Holman for Governor, surpassed in numbers
and enthusiasm any public affair Of like kind since
October, 1852 when the Douglas, Breckenridge and
Ben democracy fused In opposition to the radical
republican nominations Of Abraham Lincoln and
Hannibal Hamblin.
That, perhaps, was the grandest demonstration
ever made by the democratic party in New York,
and the turnout Of last night only to it in
Hp311 onAO ho oarv1xo
quite up to that Of the fusion parade of 1885,
but IN this they certainly err for 1t should be remem-
bered that the members Of the party without excep
ton participated in it, while on last evening there
were many avowed partisans Of Tammany who, not
approving OF the nominations Of Messrs Seymour
and Blair kept themselves out OF the ranks, and II
they participated at all 1t was simply In the char
actef Of the spectator and not demonstrative one
~ that There were others also who kept away
because they % not care to give in their adhesion
The fortunes OF Mr.. Holman. But Notwithstanding
these assertions, II they can be called such, the
grand ratification gathering was complete sue
Gers ana worthy Of the democracy.

This stand was erected at the south end OF Union
square, facing down Broadway, and was the largest
and handsomest platform OF any OF those erected
for speakers. II was constructed in the form OF q
canopied quadrangle, and was handsomely festooned
with the national Dag. On the south face, near the
apex Of the roof, was displayed portrait OF sey-
mour; on the western front an oval likeness OF
Blair and ON the eastern front portrait Of Hon

THE JEWS IN AMERICA.

Tire following tribtte to the starry flag
is from a sermon Of celebrated Jewish
divine in n. Y. city:
Above all others, the American citizens
of the Hebrew faith know how to appreci-
ate the whole extent of American bless
ings. For eighteen centuries the barefoot
ed, Wandering son of Israel could find no
permanent rest for his weary mind and
body. For nearly eighteen hundred years
did the son Of Israel ramble from land to
land, and wheresoever he came he offered
a large heart full of love Of God and man
kinda great mind with its inexhaustible
sources Of intellect. He brodght along
with him unfinching energies, untiring
patience, true diligence and usefulness in
every department of life but alas they
embittered his spirit; they gave him in
return hatred, contumely and dire perse'
cution. The only one God Of whom they
could not deprive him was his sole conso

clean. Unless they are intended to be
killed for veal-when they are kept in
dark boxes, and we are sorry to say, oc-

get regular exercise in apropcrly sheltered
yard. In October they are treated to
taste of turnips daily, and later on in the
year these bulbs are their principal food,

merous appliances now furnished by the
implement maker, turnips can be pulped
very easily; in'leed, in couple of hours

and fed by two women, can pulp as many
turnips as will serve thirty cattle for

winter months, the feeder resorts to arti-

crushed grain. A bullock weighing 7 cwt.

Some cattle, like some human beings,

Consequently the stock feeder who does
not study the individual taste and temper
of the various animals, and who allows
his servants to pitch an indefinite quanti-

There was that assisting at the churcL
service on board another steamship, one
Sunday, in a stiff breeze. Perhaps on
the passage out. No matter. Pleasant
to hear the ships bells go, as like church
bells as they could pleasant to see the
watch off duty mustered, and come in;
best hats, best Guernseys washed hands
and faces, smoothed heads But then
arose a set of circumstances so rampantly
comical, that no check which the gravest
intention could put upon them would hold
them in hand Thus the scene. Some
seventy passengers assembled at the saloon
tables. Prayer-books on tables Ship
rolling heavily. Pause. No minister
Rumor has related that modest young
clergyman on board has responded to the
captains request that he will oficiate.
Pause again, and very heavy rolling.
Closed double doors suddenly burst open
and two strong stewards skate in, support

pearance as of somebody picked up, drunk
and incapable, and under conveyance to

their opportunity, and balance themselves,
but cannot balance minister who struggl-

HALLS HISTORY AND GEOGRAPHY OF
VERMONT.

This work has now been before the pub
lie about four years, and has been exten.
svely introduced into tlie schools of Ver-
mont. The increasing demand for it has
occasioned the preparation of a new edi-
tion, which has been thoroughly revised
by Rev. Pliny II. White, who was desig-
mated for that work by the Board Of Edu-
cation
Upon comparing this edition with the
preceding one, we notice many important
improvements. Not to mention the cor
rection of some hundreds of grammatical
and rhetorical errors, and some erroneous
statements Of fact, there are several ad-
ditions which materially enhance the val
ue of the book.
The attempted conquest of Canada in
l775 and 1776, one of the most interest
ing episodes in the history of Vermont, of
which nothing is said in the former edi-
tion, is in this made the subject of several
paragraphs, which give the pupil a knowl-
edge of that enterprise. The account of
the battle of Bennington, which was very
brief and not altogether correct, is much
enlarged, and made to sgree exactly with
whrt is now regarded as the historical
truth. The four chapters on the geology
and mircralogy of Vermont, one ofwhich
was mere list of names of minerals, have
been struck out, and their places are sup.
piled by as many new chapters by A. D.
Hager, Esq, who has compressed into ten
pages as much of the science as school
child needs to know. An account of the
part taken by Vermont in the late war,
and of the st. Albans raid, is among the
new matter. The whole amount of the
new matter is about eighteen pages. The
questions have been thoroughly revised,
and many "leading questions" have givtn
place to others which arc not objectiona.
bic on that score.
The notes and questions on the consti-
tuition of the United States have also been
revised, and such changes as are made
necessarily recent legislation or by amend
mcnts have been made. The 18th and
14th articles of amendment have been
added, and the effect Of which they have
on the constitution itself is carefully noted
in the proper places. We notice also
what we think must be of great value to
teachers and pupils--a system of reference
by which the several sections and clauses
of the constitution are brought into COM
parson with those parts of the constitution
of Vermont which relate to corresponding
subjects. In this part of the book there
are about six pages of new matter. The
entire bulk Of the book, however, is no
greater than that of the former edition,
as several comparatively unimportant doc
uments are omitted from the appendix.
A map of Vermont, much larger than
the one in the first edition and as perfect
as possible, has been engraved expressly
for the new edition. We doubt not that
this edition will commend itself to an in
creased appreciation and patronage in the
common schools in Vermont.-Christian
Messenger.
