Love Your Mother.

Little ones, do you love your mother 2
You will never meet an eye as tender, q
hand as gentle, or heart as kind as hers.
No love will ever be SO strong as that which she
bears you. 1t was she who nourished you in
your infancy, and soothed with pleasure, your
fcverish cries, when all other ears had grown
weary of them. She would cool the heavy
brow, change the heated pillow, and answer
your countless calls till the stars paled in
the heavens, and yet no re- piniGg words
escaped her lips.
1t was your mother who watched over
you in childhood, taught your lisping tongue
its first words, and Jour tottering feet to bear
your unsteady weight She was happy if
your childish heart was full of joy; or if
your brow was clouded, with loving words
and gentle manner, she was ever ready to
dispense it. In youth, she guided the feet
which are so prone to err, into the paths
Of peace and wisdom.
Then we must love her who has so much
loved US.
When you go forth into the world, fyou
are in prosperity, many hearts will be thrown
at your feet but so soon as fortune frowns,
these friends will desert you for one more
favored by fortune. IT'S then mothers
love will shine the brighter and in the
depths of her devotion, will make you forget
that the world is cold aud cherries that
friends are false and that life is full of dis
appointment.
Then let your mother see that you think
Of her perform those little nameless atten-
tons which can only answer the demand Of
a loving h. art

THE TIDE TURNED.

The strong tide of difficulties setting
against the republican party, by which
New Hampshire was swamped, has reach
ed its height and shows "a turning as the
result in Connecticut witnesses. The re-
publicans hoped, rather than expected, to
carry the latter State. The democracy
brought every gun to bear which they
could command. They boosted enormous
ly and were as confident as they talked.
They have never really relinquished their
claim to the State, believing that it has
simply gone against them occasionally by
Misrepresentation or a freak of the voters
called upon Tammany for money and
probably for men, and doubtless received
both in such quantities as they considered
sufficient. The result is that the republi-
can candidate for Governor is elected by a
small majority, and we have the Congress
men in the first, second and third districts,
which is all we hoped to elect.
1t is gratifying to know that doubtful
State like Connecticut, in a time when
apa thy prevails and our friends in Con
gress are setting the worst example posi-
Bile, fomentng disaffection and disheart-
ing the voters, can rise above the prompt
ings of passion and the dscouragements
of the hour and fight so grand fight and
win SO glorious a victory as that of Mon
day. 1t shows that the sober, second
thought has begun to work, and that the
republican party will be true to its princi-
Piles though its leaders fail. A good blow
has been struck in Connecticut for 1872
Now let there be no more sleeping in the
republican ranks, no more casting of fire.

ganization, until our candidate for Presi-

they think is policy as if it was matter of
fact which they cannot control any more than
they can the advent of the seasons. They
may not see it so plainly, either because they
| do not observe with sufficient attention or be-
cause they shrink from it from feebeness and
apprehension. Let us go to the people, fairly
and boldly, and invoke their judgment upon
the record radicalism has made for itself. All
the contrivances by which the radicals have
soughtto trammel the people and fortify them
selves in power can thus be effectually swept
away.
The differences among our friends to which
you refer are not serious. They arise, l be-
lieve, chiefly from the mistaken idea that
those who continue to assail reconstruction
and the amendments intend to abolish negro
suffrage. This is not the object, and it is a
very inadequate view of the subject This
suffrage really depends very little on the
amendments, because, among other things, it
has not accomplished the object of those who
imposed it (Which was to give them the con-
troll Of the South land they have begun them
selJes already to dispense with it in the Dis
trict of Columbia, where it was first started ::
but the States which have adopted it do not
propose to revoke it, and will not, l am con-
fident, unless, after fair trial, it is shown to
be necessary for good government. The
fifteenth amendment will, in this event, be
easily disposed of for the radicals, who have
already ceased to have a motive to maintain
it, will have ceased to cant on the subject.
| 1t is not, therefore, to get rid of negro suf-
frage that we continue to assail and refuse to
acquiesce in usurpations by which the gov
ernments of the people have been and will con-
tinue to be wrested from them. The contest
is not to take away Suffrage from the negroes,
but to preserve that wise distributation of the
powers of the government without which all
suffrage is but mockery, and to prevent
that control by the national functionaries
which is sure to create imperialism, and will
inevitably degrade, impoverish, and enslave
the toiling masses. Yours truly,
FRANK =. BLAIR.

THE NEXT PRESIDENTIAL CAM
PAIGN

MANIFESTO OF GENERAL FRANK P. BLAIR.
WASHINGTON CITY, March l3, 1871.
NJ. ". Cooke. esq, Editor of the Montgomery
Nall
Dear Sir,--Yours of the 18th Instant has
just been received am flattered by your re-
quest that should endeavor to compose the
''dead ISSUE" controversy among our friends in
the South, and l might be tempted to protfer my
advice to them if | thought it would be etfec-
tive. But our people don't like to be advised
They prefer discussion, and to form their
opinions on public questions by that process
| have contributed in that way, and shall con-
tinue to do so TO the utmost of my ability
In my judgement the actual issue of the
campaign is the broad one whether we have,
or are to have, federal union on constitu-
tional basis, or an absolute government, with
power in the hands of those who possess it to
prolong its own existence indefinitely. This
draws in review the past and continuing pro-
cess by which the arbitrary government of to-
day has been established and is to be main
tanned, and the reconstruction acts and the
amendments must necessarily figure in this
review but the question of whether they
went through the forms that enttle them to
be put on the statute books is really an i'm
material one. 1t does not change the argu-
ment particle whether the forms were conf
Piled with or not, and it does not affect our
aoihty to put the government in the hands OF
the people, if we carry the election, whether
they are valid or invalid.
Inc manner in which these amendments
were adopted, and the still more significant
measures passed and proposed for their en-
forcement ought to satisfy men of all sec
tons and parties that liberty itself is at stake
in the coming conflict. No thoughtful oh
server of the present aspect of public affairs
who does not from timidity willfuly shut his
eyes to the conclusion of this reason, can
doubt that those who, to grasp power, have
Subyerted the organic law, in defiance of the
known will Of the people, will fail to adop
any other measures OF fraud or violenc,
which may be found necessary to maintain
them in the possession of it, and that our on
ly security against new and greater violence
than has heretofore been practiced is by tn
timely awakening of the people TO the rea
dangers which surround them, SO that a spiri
may be aroused which will overawe and dis
arm those daring enemies Not to see, or Il
affect not TO see, this danger, and to engag
the public mind in the discussion of economi
and civil service measures, and to belittle tn
iron man who so lately brought that Senate t
his feet which had his predecessor pleading a
their bar, is to cry .'peace when there is nj
peace and to contribute to betray the coun
try. III our friends would unite in an earnes
effort to arouse the country, all will be well
aud to this end it is only necessary to let the
people see what the real issue is. Nor have
/ any fears that they will fail 10 see it. They
already see it, in spite of the mistaken efforts

Frank Blair has marked out platform
for the democracy of which the principle
is the same as his Broadhead letter, but
more cautiously stated. Judging from the
speeches of democrats in Congress and the
articles of democratic papers about the

The extensive use of these watches for the last
fifteen years by Railway Conductors, Engineers
and ENpressmen, the most eXacting of watch
wearers, has thoroughly demonstrated the strength

Watch. To satisfy that class in all these respects,
is to beside the question to the real value of these

over all others.
The superior organization and great extent OF
the Company's Works at Waltham, enables them
to produce watches at price which renders COM

merely pay from % to 80 per cent more for their
watches than is necessary.
The time pieces combine every improvement that
long experience has proved of real practical use
Having had the refusal of nearly every invention

Europe, only those were finally .doped which Sc
