Copperheadism. They dare not fairly
argue in favor of their own positions
and saiust those of their opponents,
and they therefore appeal to your pass
slons and prejudices instead Of your rea'

We appeal to You true rinterests, and
to your common sense and reasoning
faculties. We have honestly placed
the difference between the two parties
before you. Our appeal to you shows
that we know that the Republican party
contains large element Of intelligence
Of honesty and of patriotism. We do
not think that element is properly rep

its leaders or officials, and we ask it 10
so vote this fall as TO show those leaders
and officials that it is a power and will

Mt time when we much needed mon
ey. Now that the positions arc rcvers-
ed and they are wanting money we
shall DO glad to get our bonds back
again at AS low rates rs possible. We
cannot hope to make as good bargains
Us they did, but we ought to welcome
the return of every bond. Nor do we
believe that such return Will have 40
marked an influence upon the Gold
Market, or upon our general interests,
as has been anticipated. We can we'll
afford TO spare the gold, and we have
every reason to rejoice ut tho diminu-
ton Of our indebtedness TO foreign
countries.
The next most obvious effect of the
war upon American interests will bo
in the improvement Of our commerce.
This is, of course, dependent upon the
prolongation of tho war. III IL should
end rs suddenly rs did that botweer
Prussia and Austria, tho effect will ho
scarcely perceptible; but If 1t should
continue for several months, we may
well hope that tho increased demand
may stimulate our shipbuilders and
bring from othCr uses many vessels
which may now be proftably employ
ed in the ocean carrying trade, from
which tho French and PrGssian meT-
chant marine will be excluded. We
might even hope for one or two lines
of American steamers TO Europe. Wm.
IL. Webb, we presume, has several
vessels at command adapted for such
service, and possibly there are others
that can be summoned. As soon rs il
becomes apparent that tho war is not
to be ended with q single battle, we
hope to see u decided movement in
this direction.
The effect upon our market for bread
stufls has already been felt, and the
advance on Saturday is but q trifiing
indication of what we may expect pro-
vided the same question Of the proba-
bic continuance of the war shall be
decided in favor of our holders. Tho
country is i'm good condition TO supply
the extra demand then likely to be
thrown upon Us, the returns from
which could not hut add largely 10 the
general prosperity.
Ii is possible that the European de-
mand for our cotton will be diminish
ed rather than increased by the
war. Cotton fabrics 90 not largely en-
ter into the material consumed by
armies, and the consumption by the
people at home is likely 20 be rather
diminished than increased in conse-
quence of the straits which war brings.
We shall scarcely, however, regard a
lower rate for cotton this year as ma
tiJnal calamity. If it shall stimulate
our planters to Il comprehension of the
fact that varied agriculture is likely
to bc moIe valuable and more secure
than one devoted to a single staple, it
may prove instead a veritablc blessing
IN disguise.
1t would seem probable that one of
the most important and valuable
sources of Immigration to this country
will for time be cut of, and that the
stream of German immigrants that
has done so much TO fertilizc and de-
velop the West will temporarily be
diverted.
We could lose no element of popula-
tion more valuable to us. 70 what
ever extent German immigration is
checked, to that extent the calamity
of the war is brought to our doors -

A Bit of History.
The Watch that Martha washington We're.


The "Father of his Countryr had n
couple of "lovc affairs" The first was
with Miss Mary Phillipsc, daughter
of the owner of the Phillipsc estate, in
Westchester and Putnam counties.
With the graces of this lady he was
almost incurablysmitten, and tradition
AYERS that "George W., ~ as he is pro-
faCely called, sat upn with his "girl''
all night occasionally. But, in the
modern phrase. Mary couldn't see
it, and gave George the mitten some
time in the year 1756. In 1858 he met
the widow Curtis, and, not being fa-
vored ut that time with the advice OF
the elder Mr.. samuel Weller, he ne
elected to "bewarep of that dangerous
variety of the sex, fell over head and
ears in love with Mrs. Curtis, success
fully "sparked" her, and in due course
of time was married to her.
His old flame, Miss Phillipse, became
the wife of Roger Morris. Georges
wedding occurred in 1853. After the
betrothal of George and Martha. he
presented his lady-love with q hand
some gold watch, which was manufac-
tured expressly to his order in London.
The watch j. now in Newburg, and
an effort is being made by the
citizens TO purchase the interesting
old relic, and deposit it at Washington IS
headquarters, in that city. The price
asked for it is only 81 600. 1t was Civ
en- by Mrs. Washington to Mrs. Haly-
burton, her niece, and The mother OF
Judge James ID. Halyhuton, of Vir-
ginia. The saddCst part Of its history
is that it Is now thrown on the market
for sale, as one of the results to its
owners, the family Of Judge Halybur-
| ton, of the fortunes of our late war,
which stripped so mary Of ourSouth-
ern ccuntrymcn of their possessions.
The watch bears the name OF It's ma
kcr, " Barwie, London, No. 7l3.p II
| Is of the old-fashione1 bull's-eye pat
tern, reduced inthiclness to n neat Ia
| dy's style. The case isinlaid with whit.
enamel around the edge Of back and
face. The watch is in its original case,
and accompanied by its original key.
The letters Of the name Martha Cur
tis' are marked on the dial-plate, one
letter .ipcv outaidc of each OF the fg-
I uTos indicating the hours. The watch
is how ll2 years Old. A day or two
ago it was "wound up" and licked Il.
of Golden time,n but it marked III;
hours slowly, reminding one of q brave
old, heart beating on beyond it's three
score and ten.
