clearly seen by the true thinking
men of all parties. No Republic
can rest upon the ill-will and dis
satisfaction of the people or no
part of the people. Hence we
see these are the causes which are
producing an improved conserva-
tive feeling at the North
But another step is to be taken,
and that is the recognition of the
fact that the virtue and intelli-
gence Of the coantry, or no part Of
the country, is to be made subor-
dinate to the vice and ignorance
of the land; that Republican gov.
crnment must be based upon vir-
tue and intelligence or it must
crumble to ashes. When the
Northern people can rise above
the fanaticisms which have con
tr0lled the country ior the last
ten years, and recognize tho prin-

al Government to its old land
marks Of constitutional liberty,
without which restoration civil
liberty cannot be perpetuated or
the Union preserved. The past
excesses and usurpations of the
Federal Government; dating back
since the beginning Of the late
war, have nearly destroyed all
confidence in Republican inStitu-
tions. The Southern people are
willing to meet the North in a
spirit Of conciliation to preserve
the institutions of their fathers;
and if Northern feeling continues
to improve, there is some hope
that the government may continue
to stand as q monument of the
intellectual wisdom of its trainers,
and a shrine around which every
American may Worship in tho

among farmers of the scarcity OF
hands to harvest the crops. The
prices paid to day laborers in some
sections are high, so much as

course this lasts only through the
pressure of the harvest season
but men can readily obtain from
$50 to $40 per month aud board

and approve themselves as good
workers. a man of economical
habits can save ut least fifty PEI
cent. of this sum, or more-saS
