REJOICING TOO SOON.
The Democracy o. X. In Maine.

As in the case of Vermont the Radicals
are rejoicing insauely over supposed
victory in Maine. Our dispatches this
morning, says the Press ard Herald of the
18th inst, slightly tinge their joyful cup
with bitter waters Instead Of losing
ground the Democracy Of Maine are
strengthened. There has been marked
increase and growth of Democratic senti-
ment in that Jacobinissd State, IS figures
which never lie, will show.
In 1866, the last time when tire cleo.
ton was determined upon national issues,
the vote stood for the Republicans, &c.
626; for the Democracy, 4l,939-giving
a Radical majority of 27,6s7. On this
vote the Democrats have gained l4,876,
while the Republican increase is but a.
$50. In other words the Democracy have
gained 354 per cent, while the Republi-
can gain is about per cent. In 1867,
but small vote was polled, and, Of
course, the vote being largely increased
this year, that increase inures nominally
to the benefit of the Radicals. But after
all, the Democratic column is being regu-
larly strengthened, even in the strongholds
of Rsdicalism.
Neither Maine nor Vermont was ever
looked to to aid in the election of Seymour
and Blair.

MOUNTAIN HIGH!
Frsm the Frankfort YeOmAn.l


When we speak of the public debt as
being "mountain high" we but family pre-
sent the reality.
Let US illustrate The highest noun
tain in the world is peak of the Hima-
laya Mountains, in India, which reaches
the altitude of 1911 feet, or little less
than 81 miles.
The public debt Of the United States
according to the official statement Of the
Secretary of Treasury, amounted, on the
FIRST of the month, to the sum of $685.
100000. New, let us, for illustration,
suppose this debt to be one dollar bills,
and piled up before us. Do you imagine
it would reach "mountain height" Let
US see:
Allow one hundred notes to the inch,
and we have its height:
to .....25, 234, 480.............inches!
or.......,..,...,....2, l02, 945......""."feet!l
or.................-..70Q, 68l....,.....yards u!
$685.. .......miles u!
or, if the notes were of the denomination
of 500 insted Of IL, we should have q
pyramid of money reaching about four
miles high Whilst the highest mountain
peak in North America Mount st. Elias,
in Russian America) is but 1890 feet, or
less than 81 miles.
Still further: let us suppose the debt
to be in silver instead Of notes, and esti-
mating sl6 to the pound, we have
weight Of debt amounting to just l58,72O,-
905 pounds! or 1857 car loads lat $4,000
pounds to the cary, which would make a
train of cars of fifty-six miles in length,
allowing but thirty feet to the car!
We present these illustrations because
we would, if possible, arouse the people to
an appreciation Of the magnitude of the
monster mountain hight and mountain
weight of debt which is crushing the life
from struggling Republic.
If the picture presented above 10
pleasant one, you will sustain the Radical
party; for that organization promises not
only to preserve this grand mountain Of
debt, but to add mile upon mile to its COL
umn as the months roll on. Last month
the addition was $l3,900,000, or two
miles in hight, or 9l2,500 pounds in
weight, or so car loads, making train Of
500 yards in length, according to the fore
going estimates. The increased grandeur
of this little mountain one year hence,
with Radicals still in power, can be esti-
mated by multiplying the figure last above
by twelve. Thanks to the good sense of
the American people, however, they must
turn over, ON the 4th of March next, to
the Democracy. Then we shall, by rigid
economy and honesty, dig down the noun
tain, instead of piling it higher and
higher.

A TOUGH YARN.

There is place in Maine so rocky that
when the natives plant corn they look for
crevices in the rocks, and shoot the grains
in with musket; they can't raise ducks
there anyhow, for the stones are so thick
that the ducks can't get their bills between
them to pick up the grasshoppers, and the
only way the sheep can get at the sprigs
Of grass is by grinding their noses on q
grindstone.
But this amt circumstance to place
on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. The
land is so poor there that it takes two Kill
dees to whistle, and on clear day you
can see the grasshoppers climb up the
mullen stalks and look with tears in their
eyes over fifty acre field; and the bum
BILE bees have to go down on their knees
to get at the grass. All the mosquitoes
have died of starvation, and the turkey
buzzards have been obliged to emigrate.
But there is a county in Virginia which
can beat that. There the land is so ster-
lie that when the wind is from the north
west they have to tie the children togeth-
er to keep them from being blown away
there it takes six frogs to raise one croak
and when the dogs bark they have to lean
against fence--the horses are so thin
that it takes twelve of them to make a
shadow, and when they kill beef they
have to hold him up to knock him down.

SAKE AND THE eREcIAN BEND.

II is said that the Grecian Bend was
driven out Of Saratoga Ply the nickname Of
the "cholic stoop," which was given to it
by John G. Saxe-for which he deserves
the thanks of the country.
Ridicule will sometimes effect reforms
where reason is powerlcss. This vul-
gar fashion stood the attacks of the latter
for weeks, until SAKE let fly his shaft,
when 1t succumbed at once.
Like all watering places, Saratoga has
always on hand several old bachelors, who
having been kicked SUCCESSFULLY for twenty
seasons, have become hopeless, stured and
filed with spite against the reigning beau
ties, because their mothers would not &C.
.cept them.
These dry old fellows, after they had
read Saxe's sharp attack on the abominable
deformity, would 60 up to a young lady
and maliciously enquire after her health,
saying that they had heard that she had
been seriously sick, but hoped she was
better--trusted she would take better
care Of her health, 10.
The lovely creatures did not at first I'M
derstand these kind inquiries, but as soon
as they saw Saxe's attack they understood
it at once, and not one has since put on
the airs and graces of one afflicted with
the cholic.

ADVICE FROM NORTH CAROLINA FREED
MAN,
E. D. MORGAN.
RoBr. G. ScHENcK.

The Charlotte IN. Co. Times publishes
the following card, written BY freedman,
and addressed to the colored people Of
Mecklenburg;
l am one of your number. From q
sense of duty became Democrat. I
wish to appeal to you, not because wish
You to join my party, but because / see
that you are in danger. Wicked white
men-mean whiteSmen that are skinning
you every day, and intend to take the
whole hide off--have already made you
believe hundred liessSadrsAsy.Nre max
ing you believe them now. They will get
all they can out of you and then turn you
over to the mercy of the white people that
you are now turning your backs upon.
You are freemen, indeed, when you dare
not think Or speak or act, except just as
your white Radical masters order you to
do. You are obliged to vote for them and
not even your own color. They say Con-
servatives and Democrats want to make
you slaves again. If they did these men
could not, and would not if they could,
prevent it. They did not make you free,
and can't keep you free. You just know
the respectable people of the South don't
want to make US slaves again, and could
not if they wanted to. / was slave-am
now free. l expect to die free, but /
want to be respected by the decent white
people. As it is clear they intend to rule,
say what we may, it would be well to
make them our friends. The colored
people had better take warning in time
and show that they have some sense.
I write this of my own accord, as Of my
own accord | joined the Democratic party,
and intend to continue in it.

CONGRESS-.
An Extra Session Called.

WASHINGTON, Sept. l5.-The following
has been issued:
The President of the Senate and the
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
by resolution of Congress to adjourn their
House until the third Monday of Septem-
Der and on that day, unless otherwise Or
dered by the t~o houses, ta@s were direct
ed to further adjourn their respective
houses until the first Monday of Deem
Der. In accordance with the request of
the Republican members of the 40th Con-
gress, the undersigned decide and respect
fully recommend that there be full atten-
dance of both Houses on the 2lst of Sep
TENDER. 1t is not expected that general
legislative business will be entered upon
at that time, or that the session will be
longer than to provide for another ad-
journment. 1t is important that there
should be such general attendance OF
members as will secure the presence of a
quorum in each House.

From the Union and Americana
THE CAMPAIGN IN TENNESSEE.

AhE SAmfAiGN IN TENNESAEEs
BY official announcement of the Execu.
tive Democratic Committee of this State,
it will be seen that an active, thorough
and vigorous canvass during the elective
campaign for President and Vice Presi-
dent has been resolved upon. This ac-
tion was not taken by the committee be-
fore an exhaustive consideration of all the
circumstances by which we are surrounded
and after full deliberation upon the views
Of those patriotic Democrats who have
thought that "masterly inactivity" seemed
wisest and best for the present and future
of the State.
Our condition is anomalous. There is
nothing like it in American history, and
our labors must be adapted to the exigen-
cy. For all wrongs the theory of our gov
eminent provides remedies. The foun-
tain of these is the will Of the people, in
spired by prevailing sense of justice
and the spirit Of freemen, guided by
wisdom.
With this view it is resolved to appeal,
together with the Democracy of the whole
Union, to the ballot-box for redress Of the
grievances under which the people of the
Union and of Tennessee labor. Relying
upon the Democracy Of other States for
the performance of their part in the con-
test, it falls upon us to discharge ours
without fainting or faltering.
In the great conflicts of the world every
man engaged in them is not expected to
be in the van. In armies andin the means
necessary to sustain armies, there are more
than half who act as purveyors. In the
contest at the ballot-box, the disfranchis-
ed in this State may do equally important
work with the voter. The Executive
Committee appeal to them to enter earn
sstly and vigorously upon this work. They
call upon the Democracy of every District
to nominate their respective electors, and
to proceed, by every means in their pow
er, consistent with law and the enduring
principles Of Republican liberty, to redeem
the State from thraldom, and the country
at large from usurpation and danger.
The progress of the campaign will de-
velop the best plans for the purpose, and
the committee now appeal to the whole
people to organize to work from this to
the election. Their news from the North
and from the South, and from the great
bosom of their own people, is that labor
now expended will not be lost.
Citizens of Tennessee! your time is now.
By peaceful means, by the power Of mind
over matter, come to the rescue of your
selves and your children from despotism
more intolerant and CALLING than any on
the face of this earth!

"each day should be improved as if it
were the last day." Does it mean that
each day should be improved as if it we're

the Radicals will be able to improve that
important day to their own advantage, or
that it will improve them.
