WHAT WILL THE COMMISSION
Dot


We may be wrong, but we are
strongly impressed with the idea that
no good will result to us as q people
from their deliberations and we pre-
dict that we shall be outgeneraled by
England, and that the result will be the
passing of receipts by the two nations,
with no pecuniary advantage of conse-
quence to u.s. We are forced to these
conclusions from the testimony, when
we feel the fact to be that England not
only kept the late rebellion alive for
three long years by her aid and cncour-
agement to rcbels-thereby causing the
soil of'this great country to be saturated
by tho blood of thousands of brave
sons of America, and the immersion Of
hundreds of thousands of her proud
daughters in tears over the butchery of
their Sons and husbands on the bloody
battle field in rebel climes-but: she
now comes forward with claims against
our country for damages accruing from
her Fenian troubles, sufficient, she
thinks, to Offset our Alabama claims /;
and fears may well be entertained that
through the influence of those in sym>
pathy with the rebellion, that these
FeGian claims may be allowed to cheat
our own Government out of its just
dues. We deem it our duty in this, as
in all matters of importance, to warn
the people of the danger that turks be-
meath.
We ask .he people to watch with
jealous eye their public servants, and
see that they take no steps which shall
tend to fasten upon them chains which
Great Britain, in conjunction with the
South, have long been trying to riyet
If these claims are left unadjusted, or
are settled in such way as to be of no
material advantage to the country, it,
to that extent, sanctions the course pur-
sued by the South in the rebellion, aud
we are to that extent betrayed in TO the
hands OF rebels.
The reader may think us vision
airy, but We tell you again that the re
be lion is not over The Southern Con-
federaey still lives in bright prospect
and England to>day is laboring with
her hand in hand, Republicans, if you
watch not with jealous eye the opera
tious of your public selv.ats, and
be ever on the alert and prompt 10
stay the tide of corruption in the
land, and check the disposition SO
prevalent to monarchy, your homes and
houses may soon be left desolate, and
the iron heel and Calling yoke Of anar.
chy aud despotism will soon be quietly
placed upon your nccks, and that of
your posterity, and that, too, with no
power left you to resist.

sREPuBLIcAN ACHIEVEMENTS.

REPUBLICAN ACAlEV ENENTS.
Much as has been said by the enc
!, mics Of the Republican party as to its
l lack of ability to manage the affairs Of
the Government properly, and by Its
. friends, concerning some measures OF
the party which they honestly thought,
and ia many instances still think, were
were wrong, yet no one can read the
history ofithat organization, see the diff
ficulties with which it has had to con-
tend, and the obstacles it has been
forced to surmount, without adniring
sthe tact and skill, as well as the un.
finching fidelity to the cause of the
people which has prompted the great
movements of the party. Both in war
and 10 peace that party has marked its
way by achievements of most benef
~cent character It has wrestled with
and overcome greater difficulties than
any other organization mas ever done in
this country. No party in this country
ever confronted mightier foes, and no
party has ever overcome its adversaries
more signally. 1t vanquished the mon>
ster rebellion, embracing within its or
ganization eleven States of the Union;
it abolished slavery, established order,
land placed the affairs of the Govern>
sment upon permanent and prosperous
basis. The Republican party has given
the country revenue system wisely
adapted to the necessities and exigen-
cies of the times, and which can be
altered to suit any times and circum>
stances without change in principle.
Under this system the country has been
prosperous, and free from those convul'
sions and financial disasters which uni
versally follow in the wake of war. 1t
has secured to US greater degree OF
prosperity than has ever been known
before. Our cities have grown as it
,conjured by the power of lthuricFs
wand. Manufactures have advanced TO
a higher degree of perfection thar ever
before. Capital has received greater
remuneration, and labor has kept upon
par with capital, and in many in
stances advanced to higher ratio. The
farmer has found more ready sale, and
sat higher rates than ever before for his
products. And notwithstanding the
denunciations kept up by interested
parties against the revenue system, yet
any impartial mind cannot fail to see
shat, properly regulated, it is more adj
vantageous than any system that has
before been adopted by our Government.
Another great and benefcent achieve
ment Of the Republican party is the es.
tablishment of carrency, at once con-
venient and safe, in lieu Of the bogus
paper currency with which the country
has heretofore been cursed. While we,
of course, expect that errors will creep
into all large organizations, yet we think
in the main the people Of this country
are, and justly may be, proud of the
Republican party and its achievements.

SOUTHERN PROGRESSION.


From Eastern and Southern exchanges
we learn what seems rather singular,
yet it is published as fact, that the
people of the extreme Southern States
are more progressive in their ideas, and
consequently more rapid in their adj
vance movements than those Of Ken
tucky and the other border States The
most intelligent and influential of the
extreme Southern States seem to have
fair appreciation of the present situa-
tion, and to manifest a disposition to
adapt themselves to the changed condi-
tion of affairs. But the leaders Of opin>
ion in Kentucky and Tennessee appear
to 1e terly unable to comprehend the
changed state of affairs, and still cling
TO the old routine and methods Of the
slavery epoch with the utmost tenacity.
In Mississippi, Louisiana aud Georgia,
white emigration is encouraged, and
the people are awakening to the fact
that with free labor the system of large
plantations is not so conducive to the
general prosperity as the plan of having
the lands divided up into moderate
sized farms. To cultivate large farms
requires large amount OF capital, which
has to be advanced in many instances
by large cotton dealers. taking lien on
the crop for security and when that
comes in, they have charges enough to
balance the full value of the crop. The
result is, loss upon the part of the
planter, as he retains nothing for his
next years operations.
But small farmers always manage
their affairs more economically, and re.
quire no advances the result must fol-
low as "a natural consequence, fair re-
muneration and permanent prosperity.
The people of the more southern por-
tion of the country seem to be alive to
this fact, and are making the proper
advances 10 secure migration to settle
their country, and divide it up into
smaller tracts As a sample of the feel
ings and sentiments of the people fur
ther North, We give the following ex>
tract from speech delivered by Gen,
Harding to farmers club near Nash
vile recently. He said !:
8. He thought the land should be di-
vided into few great plantations owned
by wealthy men, whom the mass Of the
people should serve as hired laborers
He preferred negro laborers to ~hites,
because the negro could be fed cheaper
than the white man, and because his
vote could be more easily controlled
He thought that the more ignorant the
laborer the better it would be far the
class; and he opposed immi.
grafton, for the reason that it would in-
troduce the small farm system"
1t is gratifying that such sentiments
are fast dying out in the South, aud it
is to be hoped that the opinions Of the
extreme Southern States may be rap
idly engrafted into the more Northern
States, until there may be large imi
grafton indnced to 60 South, settle up
the country, and develop its great agri
cultural resources. That the people of
most Of the cotton States recognize the
of this, and cheerfully ac-
cept the new order of things is credita
bic to their good sense, and promises
we'll for their future prosperity.

Quit Drugging.-This is now admitted by
the medical profession rs fundamental princ-
pie of healing science. 1t is wisely provided by
the human economy that whenever anything is
wrong in the physical system The natural forces
of the body are brought to bear to cxpel the dis
ease The great aim, therefore. is to strengthen
the natural powers. This has been kept in "irw
by the skiltul compoundcrs Of Hostctters Stom-
ach Bitters, which operates to give fresh vitality
to all the organs of the body. The effect of this
medicine upon tho stomach, the liver and the
kidneys, is prompt and decisive. Tho patient
who is wise enough to quit dragging and try the
Bitters, soon feels as if he had taken II new lease
of life and as he continues the uso Of the article
he is ovcrjoyed to find the streams Of health
coursing through his frame. 1t is prepared with
great care, and ts component parts are entirely
Vegetable. 1t is free from the objections so often
urged against preparations of the kind. As Il
medicinal agent it has no equal, while its pleas
ing flavor and healthtu effects have made it a
general fayorite. 1t is free from all properties
calculated to impair the system, and its opera,
tons arc ut once mild, soothing and efficient All
who have used Hostetter's Stomach Bitters attest
its virtues and commend it.
Even those who arc in the enjoyment Of per-
feet health frequently have need to have recourse
to tonics rs prevcntivcs of disease. We are
never too well armed against the assaults Of the
ills that flesh is heir to- In health or sickness
this tonic cannot be taken regularly without CIV
ing vitality and elasticity to the system.
