The Convention.

The Convention.
The various counties ofth State appear
to be alive to the importance Of sending
strong delegations to the State Conyen-
ton.
1t is generally perceived that the i'm
portance of this Convention is great. The
action of the Democracy, on the 18th of
July, should be such as to open new era
for the party in Iowa.
The people are plainly disguised with
the radical management of national
affairs. The folly of further charges of
disloyalty is becoming more and more ap>
parent, Us the reckless waste and corrup-
ton of radicalism become undeniable.
There is expressed throughout the State
a just appreciation Of the necessity for a
right platform, and for candidates above
aud beyond the touch Of radical calumny.
The time has fully come, when even in
Iowa. the party of the people should re-
sumo its ancient and natural ascendency.

Tho Montgomery Adecrtiscr on radi-

"The idea Of seeking to mako any
impression on the reason and conscience
of the Radical party leaders is more
than prsposterous. ihc radical party

have their fixed purpose, founded in

EDITING A PAPER.

Many of tho great men of tho world
have been in some way connected with
the press. 1t is one Of the best STEPPING
stones to fame known to man. Ben.
Franklin was a printer; so is Greeley,
Bonner, Prentice, Bayard Taylor, VIII
lis, Morris, Pomeroy, the Mcssrs. Gales
and Seaton, our Vice President, present
Speaker Of the House, U. S. Congress.
Now, we have it, that Louis Napoleon is
to be an editor. His son, the Prince
Imperial, has boon working at the case
for years, as a part Of his education.-
Several French papers intimate that the
Emperor Of the French is at the head
of society of capitalists, organized a
few days ago, for the publication Of a
penny paper, called lie Peaplc. The
capitol Of the society is to be two hun
dred thousand dollars, and Clement Du-
yernois, formerly Of the Epoqae, is to
bo the responsible editor of the lie
Peuple. The real editor and capitalist
is, however, according to Figaro his
Majesty Napoleon LII.

THE COMING EMPIRE.

Z Hardly had Gen. Grant been sworn in
as President before there were rulnors
in political circles that paper was soon
to be started in PHILADELPHIA advocat-
ing the establishment of an Empire in
this country. and in favor of proclaim
ing Grant Emperor. This was at first
looked upon as a mere runor, but it is
now proving to be something more. A
gentleman purporting to represent those
engaged in the movement recently visit
cd this city and Albany, to sec how far
the Republican leaders would lend their
sympathy. This person stated that
leading members of the Union League Of
Philadelphia were enlisted in this pro-
gramme, and had furnished the means
to establish paper to advocate it; also,
to establish secret societies for the pro-
mitigation of that doctrine. Further,
that paper would soon be published
in that city to be called the Empire, the
motto of which would be, in the words
Napoleon and Grant, "The Empire is
peace" and "Lct us have peace" while
its columns would be devoted to argu-
ments and proofs showing that this Re-
public had proved failure, urging the
necessity of establishing an Empire, and
advocating Grant as tho man for Empe-
ror. This sheet, VIC understand, is
ready to appear, and only waiting the
moment to arrive when those engaged
in the work of organizing societies an
nounco that the time has como to re-
move the mask.
Our information comes frem gentle
maa who was invitedto join one of these
societies--a gentleman who was an ap
plicant for Office under Grant. He was
told that becoming member would as
sist him in obtaining an office also, tina
its recommendation was the best card ht
could have with the President. 1t was
also claimed that Gen. Grant was in full
sympathy and accord with the move
mcnt. AS an illustration of this fact,
was cited tho circumstance of his APP
pointing his relatives and intimate per-
sonal friends to office, in order that,
when the time came for the coup detat,
he could have men in position who would
be bound to him by double tics--thosc
Of office and blood. How far this as
sertion may be true, we have no more
evidence than the public generally, who
all see that President Grant, like the
crowned heads Of Europe, IN his placing
bis family and relatives, even to tho
most distant, as well as those bound to
him by personal ties, in public oflice,-
During the late Presidential campaiS g.
Francis p. Blair, Jr., announced that
Grant was elected President, he would
proclaim himself Dictator before the
end of his term. Can it be that he had
an inkling Of this scheme which is now
being made khowa to the public, or that
his words are to prove propheticf

KINDNESS TO ANIMALS.

There once was man who fed from
his master and hid in cave. lie had
not been there long ere large lion came
in. Seeing tho man he went moaning
up to him. The lion had hurt his foot.
The man bathed it and bound it up. For
two long years the man and the lien lived
together, and the lion getting the game,
and the man cooking part for himself, and
giving the remainder to the lion.
At the end Of two years the man left
the cave, and upon going to a certain
city, was captured by the Consups sol
diers. The slave was tried and con-
demned to fight in the amphitheatre with
the Wild beasts. The day came, and the
man was put in the arena. The great
door was opened. In lcaped large Ii

stopped, and, with signs of affection ca

the circumstances, ordered that the MAN
should have his liberty, and the lion be
given to the man, while the vast muiti-

iron THE MARIETTA JOURNAL.


Mr.. EDITOR: A few mornings since,
We paid visit to our friend Gaut's Pho
Geographic establishment. On entering, .
delightful sight greeted us. Asplendid7
ly attired lady, stood near the fire place,
We unshpped our beaver, made TIVE
Aattercd ourself) a very graceful bow,
and. of course, anticipated reciprocity
of politeness. Figure to yourself, gen
tie reader, our establishment aud morti-
fcation, at not pcrceiving the slightest
recognition of our polite salutation. She
stood, motionless as Lots wife after her
saline transformation a personihcation
of proud aristocracy. We turned on
our heel, made hurried exit, and
sought, in another part Of the mansion,
for the artist; to whom, when we found
him, we related our adventure. Again
were our feelings trampled on; for in
stead of sympathising, he burst into q
hearty laugh. We were perfectly
thundcr-struck but soon as the spas
modic attack subsidized, and he entered
into an explanation, our flow Of visibility
surpassed his. 1t seems, that our old
optics had deceived us, that there was
nothing feminine, in what they had be-
held, save the costume; the balance
being naught, but product oftrccs.-
We had, once before, been deceived.
but, it seems have not verified the old
adage, "a burnt child, breads the fire. "
Be careful, gcntlemen! Before you
salute anything in female; ascertain its
,comnonent parts. ADRIAN.

THE m1sHR1Es OF A RICH MAN.

Tho Now York correspondent of tho
Rochester Democrat is responsible for
the following: 8
Alexander 4. Stewart clears enc
thousand dollars per day, Sunday ex-
copied all the year round. Cornelius
Vanderbilt pleads guilty to twice that
sum, while William Il. Astor rates his
income at four thousand three hundred
and thirty dollars per piem. Sleeping
or waking, the last named gentleman
finds three dollar bill dropping into
his hat every minute of the twenty-four
hours. He cannot cit down to talk with
his physician without having little
more wealth, if not health; he cannot
unburden his mind without feeling his
burden increasing in bis pockets, and he
cannot walk Broadway, however the
weather may be, without meeting
shower of money. At every turn cash
stares him in the most insolent manner
banks fling there dividends at his head
ruthless fnaneiers beat him with coupons;
Implying and soulless corporations
dump their lucre at his doorstep; and
contemptuous bill stickers plaster his
door with grccnbacks. One might won
der what that fellow has done to merit
this treatment, and tie only charge that
can be brought is that he is a rich mans
son, and therefore must suffer.

his might; but, blow as hard as he could,
he could not do much. The man drew
his cloak round him more tight; he
would not let it be torn from him. So at
last the North Wind gave up the tug,
and called on the Sun to see what he
could do. The Sun shone out with all
his warmth. Tho man could not well
bear the heat; he soon grew so warm
that he had to take off his cloak and
so tho Sun became the winner in the
trial. iiiaq n1ssd

MEMORY.

None of us remember when We did
not remember, when our memory was
naught, and ourselves wore UNBORN
Memory is the premise Of our sensations
it dates our Immortality. Nesting ever
in the twilight Of our earliest recollcctions
itcradles our nativity, canopies our hopes
and bears US babes out of our bodies as
unto them opening vistas alike into our
past and coming existence. The thread
Of our experiences, it cannot be severed
by any accidents of our mortality time
and space, earliest found and last to leave
us, fading and falling away as we pass
into recollections which these can Meth
err date nor confine--tl.e smiles that well
coined, the tears that dismiss US, being
of no age, nor place nor time.

LOVE IS THE BEST FORCE.

Once two little boys were on their
way to school. They were brothers,
and their names were John and Frank.
John was the older OF the two, and he
liked to rule Frank by sharp words; but
Frank did not like to be ruled in that
way.
"Come on-quicker, quicker. What
slow coach you are J" .
at is not late, and the day is hot" "
said Frank.
81 tell you | want to get to school in
time to clean out my desk" said John.
Come you shall come"
And then John tried to pull Frank
along by main force; but, the more John
pulled, the more Frank made up his
mind not to yield.
While the dispute went on, they
came to a place in the road where man
was trying to make horse pull great
load of stones. The horse had stopped
to rest, when the man began to beat
him.
This the horse did not like, for he had
tried to do his best so he stood stock
still. In vain did the man lay on the
LASH the horse would not start. In vain
did the man swear at him: the horse
did not mind his oaths.
Just then young man came up, and
said to the man with the load of stones,
"Why do you treat good, brave horse
in that wayf lie would pull for you till
lie died, if you would only treat him
kindly. Stand aside, and let Inc show
you how to treat good horse"
So the man stood aside; and the
young man went up, and put his arms
around the neck of the horse, and pat
ted him on the back, and said, "Poor
old fellow! 1t was too bad to lash you
so, when you were doing your best, and
just stopped moment to take breath"
And so the young man soothed the
poor beast, by kind words and soft pats
with his hand; and tEen said to him,
s'Now, good old horse, see what you can
do! Come, sir 1! VIC have only few
steps more to the top Of the hill. Get
up now. Show you will do for love
what you would not do for hate"
The horse seemed to know what was
said 10 him for he started offat strong,
brisk pace, and was soon at the top of
the bill.
"There my good friend" said the
young man to the driver, II hope you
see nav that love IS the best force; that
even beasts will do for you, when you
are kind, what they will not do when
you arc harsh"
John heard all these words, and they
set him to thinking. At last he said to
Frank, at is a hot day, Frank and it
is not late. Let us walk through the
lane to school,"
SHOW john" said Frank, 81 will take
the short cut, and will walk just as fast
as you want me to. so, come on"
drank" said John, ''Love is better
than hate,-isn't it 7"
"oh, thousand times betteEi" cried
Frank.
AS chance would have it, they that
day read in school fable, two thousand
years old, which now tell you.
The North Wind and the Sun had a
DISPUTE as to which could show the most
strength. They agreed that the one
that could strip a man first of his cloak
should be the victor. ta1es
