Senator Morton's Speech.

Senator Morton closed his late great speech as
follows:
Mr. President, the column of reconstruction, as
before remarked has risen slowly. 1t has not
been hewn from a single stone 1t IS composed OF
many blocks, painfully laid up and put together
and cemented by the tears and blood OF the nation
Sir, we have done nothing arbitrarily. We have
done nothing for punishment aye, too little for
punishment Justice has not had her demand. NG
man has yet been executed for this great treason
The arch fend himself is now at liberty upon bail.
No man is to be punished snd now while punish
ment has gone by as we all know we are insisting
only upon security for the future We are simply
asking that the evil spirits who brought this war
upon us shall not again come into power during
this generation again TO bring upon us rebellion
and calamity. We are simply asking for those Sc
curities that deem necessary for our peace and
the peace Of our posterity - 1858
Sir. there is one great difference between this
/ Union party and the s1called Democratic party.
/ Our principles are thcse Of humanity they are
/ those Of Justice they are those OF equal rights
they are principles that appeal to the hearts and
the COnsciences of men; while on the other SIDE we
hear appeals TO the prejudice OF race. Inc wnite
/ man is overwhelmingly in the majority IN this
country, and that majority is yearly increased by
half million Of white men abroad, and that MAJOR
tv gaining in proportion from year to year until
/ the colored man will finally be but handful IN tins
| country; and vet we hear the preJudices OF the
white appealed TO 70 crush this other race and
TO prevent this from rising to supremacy and power.
Sir there is nothing noble there is nothing lovely
in that policy or that appeal How does that prin-
ciple compare with ours We are standing upon
the broad platform Of the Declaration Of lndePen-
dence, that sl men are created equal that they
are endowed BIZ their Creator with certain inalien-
able rights; that among those are life, liberty, and
the pursuit of hsppiness We say that these rights
are not given by laws are not given by the Con-
sttution but they arc the gift Of God to every man
born in the world o. sir, how glorious is this

FEMALE AFFECTION. Woman is not
half SO selfish acreature as man. When
man is in love, the object of passion is
himself When woman is ensmored of
raan, she forgets herself, the world, and
all that it contains, and wishes to exist
uuly for the object of her affection.
How few men make any violent sacrifice
resentment. How many women does
svery man know who have sacrificed
fortunes and honors to noble, pure, and
iisinterested motives. A man mounts
breach !: he braves danger, and obtains
n victory. This is glorious and great.
He has served his country, he has ac
qusred fame, preferment, riches.
Whenever he appears, respect awaits
hin, admiration attends him. crowds
press to meet him, and theatres receive
him with bursts ofapplause. His glory
does not die with him. History pre-
,serves his memory from oblivion.
That thought cheers his dying hour,
and his last words. pronounced with
feeble pleasure, are, | shall not die.
A woman sends her husband to war.
She lives but in that husband Her
soul goes with him. She trembles for
the safety of the land. Every billow
that swells she thinks it to be his tomb ;
every ball that flies she imaeines is di-
rected against him. A brilliant capital
appears to her dreary desert. Her
universe was man, and that man.
tler terrors tell her, is in danger Her
days are days of sorrow; her nights are
sIeepless. She sits immovable in her
mourning, in all the dignity and COM
posture OF grief, like Aggrippa in his
chair, and when at night she seeks re-
pose has lied her cheek and vets her
,ilIow or if by chance exhausted ma
fuYe finds an hours slumber, her dis
tetapered soul sees in that sleep q
bleeding lover or his mangled corpse.
Time passes, and her grief increases,
&ill worn out at length by too much
tenderness, she falls victim of TOO
exquisite sensibiity, and sinks with
sorrow to the grave No, cold, unfeel-
ing reader these are not the pictures
ST our own creation. They are Meth
~ changed nor embellished, but faith
felly copied from nature.

and as I have taken great interest
with others in the organization of
Agricultural Clubs in different town.
ships sofour whole county, and, heart
lily endorsing the views Of Bro. Page,
Of Richland township, lately express
ed through your columns. We have
an organization known as the Com.
petine Farmers Club, with some 20
members. Althoughit it is yet in its
infancy, we hope that by careful
nursing we may perfect an organiza-
ton second to none in the county
We have at least a township Of land
second to none in Iowa for farming
purposes, and all that is wanted is
more energy, general farming intelli-
gence, ana free intercourse OF thO't
and experiences in those matters that
tend to make farmers strive for the
superiority. am sorry to see the
disposition manifested to let few
60 head with such matters, and if
they make it a success all right, ifnot
We are not responsible. We had
quite an interesting discussion on the
cause and cure Of scab on sheep, at the
last meeting. The same subject will
be continued at the next meeting, as
it is Of almost vital importance to
the farmers Of this township.
