A New IssuE-DEMocRAcY AND FREE
TRADE.-Among the most noticeable inscrip-
tions on the banners of the National Dem
ocratic party in the contest for the Presidency
in 1872, will be that of Free Trade, and en-
braced under that head will be such a revenue
reform as will work to. the good of the whole
people and not to the Advancement, rs hereto
fore, of New England, alone. The idea that
the United States consist of but New England,
is fast playing out for that opposition, which en-
the South gave to them though crushed out by
pushed forward by the mighty West, which, un-
the stimulus of wealth, and increasing popula--
ton no section hsS Superior and
barrier to her prosperity. We must and will
spouse the cause of free trade, both on ac-
count of interest in the existence of low tar
riff and because the common interests of the
two sections SHOULD bind the South and West
together in resisting the arrogance of New
England in her efforts to run the whole ma
chinery of the government in her own interest.

NEWSPAPER PRorEcr1oN-boubtless nearly
all railway passengers in cold weather have ex-
times positive injury to health, from being ex-
posed to the cold air which forces its way into
the cars through the crcvices in the windows.
This is especially the case with those who sit
near the windows. To obviate this, lay news
paper over the arm and shoulder exposed to the
draft. This will protect you from the cold as
clIcctually as would heavy blanket, and 4,
thrown over the knee, similar warmth will be
secured. Persons sometimes lie down on sofa
or lounge, in rooms, the temperature of which
is not over sixty deg grecs. After lying awhile,
they find themselves getting chilly. To avoid
this, open out large newspape. or two and
spread it over the person. Try it one of these
cold days, and be satisfied. A newspaper or
two laid between pair of sheets, will keep a
sleeper as warm or warmer than a pair of
blankets. This may seem strange, but trial
will prove its corrcctncss-at least, such as
surance is given by those who have tested the
matter.

Rseor,lcr, as she stood by the fence arourNs her

bread to the half starved soldiers returning
home from Appomattox. "Sir," said she,
pointing to little hillock near her cottage
door, "yonder lays my all they are buried side
by sidc-four boys-I gave them all" The
tears streamed down. her checks and We left
her standing there-a Rachel, like the one
written of in Scripture.

In transmitting my annual message to the
General Assembly, | take pleasure in congrat,.

prevailed during the past year, the earth has
borne most bounteous harvest, and am hap
by to say that, with but few exceptions, per-
sonal and political animosities, the eradication
of which is necessarily the work of time, are
being gradually ameliorated, and very gene
raj desire is manifested, especially among the
more thoughtful and responsible, to obliterate
old animosities, and, by cooperation and har-
tnony, to manifest the power of a united people
in united purpose to give their State promi-
nence and themselves respectability..
