New Life for Old Spain.

There is good reason for enter
tanning the best hopes of liberty in
Spain. 1t would be impossible to
have change of Government con-
Quoted in a more orderly manner
than the revolutionary leaders have
conducted it. The utter want of
devotion to the Queen in her army
and navy, and in her Ministers and
high officers, prevented, in the first
place, any military collisions of con-
sequence, or the shedding of blood.
The great body of the people ev
erywhere accepted the change with
out violence. The rigid measures
of repression adopted by the revolu
tionary authorities against the out
breaks that were for a moment at
tempted, in one or two localities, at
once indicated to the lawless ele-
ments the way they would be dealt
with. The general conduct of ad-
ministrative affairs throughout the
various provinces went on almost
without interruption and the Junta

The following extract from a re-
cent speech Of Vice President Col
fax should endear him to every
adopted citizen:
Their party, they say, has gov
erned this country for many years.
Well, I grant it. Ours is yet young,
but it is the first party that ever
placed upon the statue book that
announcement that when man be-
comes an American citizen, wher
ever he may go, into whatever part
of the world he may wander, he
shall be protected the same as
though born upon our soil 1t was
not because we owed anything to
majority of our foreignborn citizens.
We know that many of them vote
against us. They have no particu-
lar claims upon us, but we deter
mined that all the rights of Amer
ican citizens should be respected,
and the world has beard that decla
ration. They understand that now,
by the fiat Of this Republican party,
which is to govern this land for
years and years, cheers and not
only for the four years in which I
am to serve you as your Vice Pres
ident. Applause and laughter. l.
No matter where his eyes first open
ed upon the light of day, when he
| becomes an American citizen, that
entities him to protection through
out the world, and if he desires to
visit Europe, Asia, or the islands of
the sea, he shall do SO, and be pro-
tected by that banner He may be
penniless; he may have no friends,
but wherever he stands, no tyrant
shall dare abuse him, but upon the
condition that he shall be punished
for his insolence. Applause. All
we are going to make this Republic
something to be proud Of. When
Paul was surrounded by the many
who were seeking his blood because
he had preached religion which
they believed to be hostile to their
own, and the Centnrian ordered him
/ to be scourged. Paul said, "'Touch
me not, for I am a Roman citizen. -
And the Centuri1n released him:
saying, he is indeed Roman citizen
Why did that save him from the
punishment OF scourging? It was
because the CaHtu"ian and the VIII ole
civilized world knew THAI, no mat
tel how poor or how humble the
Roman citizen might be, if he was
wronged the whole Roman power
might and would punish the often
der for his insolence.
We are going TO make American
] citizenship as strong as that. Il
shall afford protection to the haugh
ty and the humble, the rich and the
poor, the lofty and the lowl.y, and
above all, protection to the friend

ment to stand by them, AMI wher
we have planted this country upor

But history, travels, biography.s

your selection.
It ought to offend the self respect
of a young man to spend whole
year without having mastered sin

ing in business tact, and in that
knowledge which comes trcm ming :

Now is the time to consider, re-
solve, and arrange. It will require

ward month, the execution of it
will become easier everf week, and
the interest will increase at every

in a young man more worthily, than
the habit of sound1eading.
Books are shields to the young.
Temptations are bluntcd on them

ficient pleasure from books, is inde-
pendent of the world for his pleas

in danger of no bankruptcy. Our
companions have their own eRrands
to execute-and their own burdens to
bear, and cannot, therefore, be al

n.y. But books need never go out
from us. They are not sensitive to
our neglect, they are never busy;
they do not scold us, and they do
welcome US with uniform and geni-
al delight WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO
READ THIS WINTER IN. y Ledger,
The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1868-11-05
What are you going to Read?


The long winter nights are com
ing. Towns and cities are full of
young men whose education has
been very limited,-young men of
good manners, offair business ca
pacities, who are seeking their for
tune, but who have not learned that
intelligence and integrity are the in
dispensable conditions of influence,
of happiness, and Of success!
What plans have you, my friends,
for this winter? Business will be at
tended to, of course Perhaps, in
addition, the prospect of several par
ties, ball or two, the skating rink
give a cheerful perspective. Or,
you may be of a sober turn, and you
have winter laid out in which your
leisure time is to be filed with meet
ings and benevolent labors.
In either case, what do you pro-
pose in regard to reading and study
ing? Are you educating yourselves :?
Do you regard books as necessaries
of life, or as luxuries !?
A young man ought to arrange as
Systematically for reading as he
does for eating. Every year there
ought to be the account of books fin
ished and mastered.
Newspapers and Magazines
have their place, and indispensable
uses-but they are not substitutes
for books. And books themselves
are to be classified and wisely cho-
sen. Novels and light literature, ta-
ken sparingly, furnish wholesome
recreation, and sound knowledge.

Mr.. HOag',s Position.

Seeing it stated in Republican
Journals that '.Copperhead'' has
been elected to Congress from the
10th district, we deem it Que to
truth and to the one thousand Re
publicans by whose action Mr. Hoag
was elected, to say that he is not
and never was what is known as a
"Copperhead." From the outbreak
Of the war to its close, as was well
known here, his sy pathies and his
action were with the Union and iii
opposition to the rebellion. He
contributed constantly and freely to
the various movements for the care
Of the soldiers and for recruiting
their ranks. Not only so, but in
the dark days of '63, when the na-
toms life seemed to hang on the
issue presented in Ohio by the nom
ination of Vallandigham fer Gov
ernor, although a lifelong and car
nest Democrat, Mr.. Hoag repudia
ted 'sthe Martyr and his nomina-
ton, and contributed to the 100000
majority for John Brough, which,
more than any other political event,
| turned back the ''re- action of '62
and opened the way for the triumph
ant re election of Lincoln in o.
He supported Mcclellan as Union
soldier, in whom he had great con
fdence. What his course may be
in Congress, we have no means of
1Sno wing; but judging from the past,
there is reason to believe that his
action will not be in the line of re
pudiation and revolution to which
the reckless leaders of the Democ-
racy are seeking to drive the party.

with all the agencies that had been
employed in the service of the
Queen. While inaugurating funda-
mental changes and radical reforms,
tney have been wise enough not to
let things go beyond their power of
control They have left the ques-
ton of Republic to the popular
decision. They have established
the supremacy of the popular vote.
They have exercised a discretion
that is admirable in itself, and that
has never been surpassed by revo-
Iutionary leaders in any country.
Thus Spain has stood before the
world for over a month"; State
without a King and a Government
existing by the popular ariN.
Ifit was evident from the first
that this revolution was planned in
a mastery manner, it has been ap-
parent ever since its opening that
its planners possessed the ability to
condnct it properly. They not on
! ly understood the military measures
that were necessary for success, but
they conprecended the way in
which to direct the civil and polit-
ical policy of a revolutionary time.
We are able to regard the future
prospects Of Spain with high hope.
The Bourbons are abolished, The
power of despotism is demolished.
The ecclesiastical domination of the
past is broken. There are free elec
tions and a free Press. A liberal
progressive Government has been
established. 1t is upheld by the
popular will 1t has been acknowl-
edged by the Governments of Amer
lea, France, England and Italy. 1t
has the power to establish and per
petaate free institutions in Spain
1t gives evidence Of bciug possessed
of the will as well as the ability to
do this. And there is every reason
to telieve that it can secure the sup.
port of the Spanish people in do
ing it.-N. Y. Times

a Wise Greed.

The mother Of Goethe, the celebra-
ted German poet, said of herself,
.sOrder and quiet are my character
istics, despatch at once what l have
to do, the most disagreeable always
first. I always seek out what is good
in people, and leave what is~bad to
Him who made mankind, and knows
how to round off the angles" The
saying has in it the very best philoso
ply of life. Performing disagreea-
BILE tasks always first and quickly,
will take away more than half the
unpIeasantness the days contain.
Hunting for what is good in those
around US will not fail to repay with
blessing.
How much to be commended is the
trait OF character which Goethe's
mother manifest in this expression.
We can readily believe she was a
sunny hearted woman, - Goethe
himself bore testimony in this
regard From my dear little
mother he wrote, Il derive my
happy disposition and my love of
story telling" Her sunny hearted
ness was due in great measure to
her wise creed of life and thought
It is erroneous to think that the na-
tural disposition is wholly response
BILE for habits of doing and thinking.
Natural dispositions may be over
come by steady persistence; and
habits naturally enough folmed, may
be broken up. We ought not to be
willing slaves to our innate propen-
sites. A creed like that cited may
be our deliyerer.
