of our exchanges We find the following
directions for preserving boguets. in
theit original freshness and beauty for
z long time.
First sprinkle it lightly with fresh
water. Then put it in vessel contain
ing soap-suds; this will nutrify the
roots keeping the flowers as bright as
new. Take the boquet out of the suds
every morning, and lay it sideways
the stalk entering first into the water:
keep it there a minute or two, then
take it out and sprinkle the flowers
lightly by the hand with water. Re-
place it in the soap-suds and it will
bloom as fresh as when gathered. The
soap-sads need changing every three
or four days. BY observing these
rules strictly, a boquet can be kept
beautiful for at least a month, and
will last longer in a very passable
state.n

REPUBLICAN, AND DEMOCRATIC
rifle

On our second page will be found a detailed
statement of the management of the finances
of this State under Democratic and Republi-
can rule, to which we invite the attention of
our readers In the heat of political cam
paigns questions of finance are too often over
shadowed by more exciting but far less i'm
portant considerations but when the election
is over, and the tax bills begin to come in, the
most ardent patriots are appealed to by an ar
gument that is more irresistible than any
other. The management or mismanagement
of the finances of the State may be considered
as the egpe1inaent,m cruciS of a good or bad
administration, and it is high time that an
economy in the use of thepublic money should
supersede almost every other consideration
at the polls.
The communication we have referred to
shows that the Democracy had almost unin-
terrupted control of the State government
from March 30, 1842, to January l, 1861, and
when the Republican party came into power,
they found that the debt of the State was
$37, ,969, 947'50, or thirty-two thousand dollars
in excess of what it had been eighteen years
before. Under Democratic rule the taxes had
OCoh hiOhobhOuo' VIC SilSio AVChA ~
real estate amounting to t'Oenty. .foe millions
of dollars. Not one dollar of the State debt
was paid, and instead of the enormous sums
realized being devoted to the development OF
the resources of the State many OF the State
works were allowed to go to decay and the
money was diverted into the pockets Oh greedy
ofice-holders and INSCRIPTIONS politiclanS'
During the nine years that the hepuoh
cans have been in power the country ha'
passed through terrible cruel war; brought
on by Democratic partisans, and Its resources
have been taxed to the utmost to subdue the
Rebel forces that menaced the life OF the
nation. Notwithstanding this the State deb

FRANCE AND AMERICA.

PRINCE NAPOLEON, in letter acknowledging
the compliment paid by body of Americans
residing in London to his recent liberal
speech in the French Senate, expresses the
belief that ''the present position bears a re-
semblance to that at the close of the last
century," and that Constitutional liberty
established in France will place the political
sentiments of France and America in as COM
plete accord as their interests already are"
The public are scarcely prepared for such an
action and reaction in favor of liberty be-
tween the two countries as marked the last
century, but there can be little doubt that
France must progress, as an empire, kingdom,
or republic, on the liberal track from
which she has so often been violently thrown.
America is indebted for her radically demo-
cratic ideas to France much more than to Eng
land, and her example has, in turn, power
fully impressed the reading and thinking men
of France, inspiring them with constant
yearning for free institutions, and making
them hope, in spite of past failures, that re-
public may yet be possible. 1t may we'll be
doubted, however, in view of past experience,
whether enlightened Frenchmen will put much
faith in Prince Napoleon's project of allying
the empire with liberty The ruling aim of
his ambitious family is to firmly establish
their dynasty, and to promote this end they
are ready to advocate the most ultra liberal
doctrines to-day. and to enforce the most
despotic measures tomorrow.
