Assembly District Conventions.

The central committees of Assem-
bly, Districts are slow this year ia
calling their Conventions, we fear so
slow that some of the Districts may
fail in being represented at the State
Convention,
We suggest that, in view OF being
certainly represented, there be mass
conventions of the people-a stimuli
taneous coming together, at the usu>
al places of holding District meetings,
on Saturday, tie 22d February, say
at ! O'Clock afternoon, for the pur,
pose of electing delegates to attend
the State Convention at Madison
The 22d will be in good time for del>
agates to reach Madi son by the Goth.
Of course the Central Committees
may fix on different day and man
ner, which will be all right. We
only suggest mass meetings on the
22d in ease the Central Committees
neglect to issue calls.
The people are not to loose their
right to representations because Of
any neglect of their Central Commit,
tees. Let every part of Grant Coun
ty be fully represented-each Dis
trict with two delegates. A Presi
dent is to be made whom we can
trust, and also Vice President,

Gratis can make nothing by murder

ment.
The country has been we'll paid for
tie luxury OF democratic treason ana
President numbering, but the people
must not rest so long as traitors and
murderers remain organized for more
war and murder. The people of u
County and Assembly District are
just as much bound to be up and do,
ing promptly rs the people of States
and cities. So let the masses turn
out.

Every Day Religion.

ion makes a poor wife and a bad
mother; this is very possible, and at
the same time very lamentable but
the mission, | would urge is not Of
this sort. Dirty rooms, slatternly
gowns, and children Of unwashed ia
ccs, are swift witnesses against the
sincerity of those who keep others
vineyards and neglect their own. !
have no faith in that woman who
talks OF grace and glory abroad. and
uses no soap aud water at home
Let the buttons be on the shirts, let
the roast mutton be done TO turn,
let the house be as neat as a new pin,
and the home be as happy as home can
be and then. when the cannon balls
aud the marbles, and the shots and
even the grains or sand, are all in the
box, even then there will be room
for those little deeds of love and faith
which in my Masters name, | seek

The Two Parties = Their Platforms
Rightly Told.

Lately, just about the same date, a
State Convention of Conservative
democrats met in Georgia, aad anoth,
er State Convention ef Republicans
met in Tennessee. We give below
the resolutions of each political b DIV,
first, the Georgia Democratic plat
form
l That States have right TO Sc
cede.
2. There is no such crime as trea
son against the United States.
3. That Jefferson Davis is not
traitor.
4. That Georgia has legal right
to go out of the Union.
The necessary inference from these
premises is:
l. That the war was unconstitu-
tional.
2. That the rebel armies were
composed of honorable men, defend.
ing their sacred and inalienble rights.
3. That the Union armies were
composed of murderers.
4. That the national debt was il
legally incurred.
3. That slavery was not lawfully
abolished.
Next, we give the resolutions ofthe
Tennessee Republican State Conven
ton as follows:
/. he uunalierable and uncondi>
tionai Support Of the Union.

Good For Forty Things,

She Shelby (lnd } Courier says:
Organs have become very fashion
able in churches of late. In almost
every church you go into, you find
one of these instruments. A friend
of ours, who lives in "a neighboring
village, related TO US on yesterday
an amusing incident which occurred
in their church.
He said, to be in fashion they must
have an organ. The congregation
could not afford TO pay an organist,
SO they got self acting organ, a
compact instrument, we'll suited to
the purpose, and constructed to play
forty tunes. The sexton had in
structions how to set it going, and
how to stop it; but unfortunately, he
forgot the latter part of bis business !;
and after singing the first four verses
of a hymn before sermon. the orr
gan could not be stopped, but con-
tinued playing two verses more; then
just as the clergy concluded the
words, "let us pray" the organ click
ed and started another tune.
The sexton ard others continued
their exertions to find another spring,
but no one could put stop to it so
they got four of the stoutest men in
the church to shoulder the perverse
instrument, and they carried it down
the aisle of the church, playing away,
into the church yard, where it con-
tinued clicking and playing till
the whole forty tunes were finished.

The Webb Railroad Aid Bill.

Some one in the Boscobel appeal
appears pleased toward the Herald for
opposing what is called the "Webb
Amendment," pledging the State aid
to railroads constructed from this
time forthward for so much a mile.
The writer says;
Mr.. Cover, with singular dulness
of apprehension states the proposed
State aid at $4,000 per mile, whereas
it is $4,000 per mile. OF course,
then, his ground ofpoliry alone should
be multiplied by four.
We had given but little attention
to this matter, further than to the
fact that the bill before the Legisa-
ture proposes to bind the State for
the payment Of a certain sum Of mon
CIV for every mile Of railroad complies
ed in the State, we having bean
supposing the same 10 be $4,000 per
mile. We meant to argue against
any law binding the State to tho pay.
ment Of money, much or little, as aid
for railroads. Of course the larger
the sum proposed to DO paid the
stronger we should oppooe the bill of
Senator " ebb and his scheme oftax.
ing the people for building railroads
everywhere Twenty thousand dol,
lars per mile Is nearly enough to
build q railroad anywhere in the
State, whether paying road or not,
and whether wanted or not wanted.
OF course the building of railroads
would be so speeded under such law
and SO many miles OF railroad built,
that very soon the State credit and
bonded debt would be so far down
az to be next thing to worthlcss--af-
ter which tho State aid Of $40 20 per
mile would be insuH oient to build
even a COW path
The bill Of Senator Webb appears
to us INDUSTRIOUS proposition.
NoTE ~ Since the above was pnt
type, a note from I'D, the writer al,
lnded to, acknowledges that we were
/ right at first in stating tho aid asked
for from the State at 5000 per mile
for all roads hereafter completed -
He regrets the error he made in stats
ing it at 500 600

QUEBc, Jan. 25.

QUEBC, Jan. 25.
In the House OF Assembly a mo-
ton was introduced to take into cons
sideration the lamentable emigration
of the inhabitants from the province
of Quebec to the United States, and
to de"ise some means for the arrest
of the same. The mover spoke at
great length, and pointed out that
the source OF the evil was the little
encouragement to the settlers in the
eastern townships, and the want of
sufficient industrial and manufacture
ing resources. Agricultural was not
sufficient to meet the wants of the
inhabitants, as during eight months
of the year that interest was entirely
suspended, and families were forced
to emigIate to the United States in
search of employment. lie proposed
that the qdestion of manufactures
receive their earnest attention, and
liberal homested law, similar to that
in operation in the United States,
be enacted. A number of the mem
bers took part in the discussion,
which finally adjourned until Mon>
day.

VIII the Negroes Work 2

When President Lincoln issued the
Emancipation Proclamation, the
democrats, ever ready to throw some
obstruction in the way of "a success
ful prosecution of the wal, asserted
that the negroes when liberated,
would not labor for their own sup.
PORTRAIT they would die of starva.
ton, aud that the government would
have to feed and clothe them. To all
who were led to believe that such
would be the result of freeing the
blacks, we commend the following
paragraph, from the Boston Adper-
tiSer
A Mississippi paper reports, with
an air of great surprise, that he me-
groes, who, u year ago, could hardly
be induced to work, are now seeking
employ ment, and displaying unusual
energy in the matter. TO our view
this is most natural and hopeful in>
dication. 1t was to be expected that
in the first flush of freedom there
would be Discrimination to labor
Necessity, however, has compelled
some Of the decisions which natural>
ly obtained a place in their notions
of independence, and the sober reali-
ty that all must work has come to
them. The disappointment at the
discovery will soon give place to sat-
isfaction at the thought that while
they must work they are working
for themselves, and that their reward
will be proportional to their skill and
taithfulncss. Those who have thor
cughly learned this lesson must make
good citizens.

New YORK. Jan. 81

NEW DIRK, Jan. 81.
The Worlds Washington special
makes the following important state
ment: "The 'tergiversation' Of Sec.
rotary Seward is no more. Another
and higher authority has determin-
ed upon the course which is to be
pursuaded in respect to the claims of
the United States Government upon
Great Britain. | am authorized to
state most confidently and decisively
that the legitimate demands, which
have been too weakly urged by the
Secretary of State upon the British
Cabinet, are to be enforced at what
ever hazard. The new British minis
ter, Mr.. Thornton, will probably be
presented to the President o-day.-
Although the addresses that are TO
exchanged, between the President and
misister thereon. may be guarded and
serene, the fact yet remains that
speedy and satisfactory response
must be made by the British Gov
eminent to the Executive of the Uni
ted States, or else a declaration Of
war against Great Britain must
eventually ensue.
The T,ibunes Washington speciai
has the following relative to the same
subject. All negotiations for the
settlement of the Alabama claims
having been closed by the CORES
pondence between our Government
snd that oil Great Britain, the mat
ter stands as though nothing had been
done by our Government tending To
its adjustment. There is authority
for saying that these claims viii at
once be pushed to fnality, with Wig,
or, and that the Government will de
mand immediate reparation for
wrongs suffered by our citizens at
the hands ofthe Alabama and other
vessels fitted out in England under
like circumstances, during the REBEL
ion.
