The CONCERT of the jubilee singers in Me-
chanics hall last evening was most unique
aud original one, and gave great pleasure to the
iarge and refined audience. Their plantation
songs in particular were given with great unc-
tIon, and are very quaint, full Of odd turns and
rapid transitions from the major key to the
minor, and back again to the major. They are
pure and original specimens of negro miu-
sfresy, and as such, are interesting and curious.
These singers are working for noble object,
aud ought to be encouraged with a rousing
house tonight.

given any signs of repentance it is to
be inferred that he still regards his old
enemies in this light. 1t will be seen
that he was not satisfied with opposing
their principles and measures, which is
all that an honorable and fair-minded
controversial cares to do, but he must
needs dissect their personal characters,
endeavor to show that they were as des-

HISTORY.

Some time since the New York World,
a leading and well known Democratic
organ, published a column of extracts
from Greeley's writings in the Tribune,
illustrating the compliments he used to
shower upon his Democratic friends,
many of whom are now so anxious to
rally around his cause accepting his
doctrines We give one or two sam
pies:
''Point wherever you please to an
election district which you will pro-
nounce morally rotten-given up in
great part to debauchery and vice
whose voters subsist mainly by keep
ing policy offices, gambling houses. grog-
shops and darker dens of infamy-and
that district will be found giving large
majority for that which styles itself the
democratic party"
"Take all the haunts of debauchery
in the land and you will find nine-tenths
of their master spirits active participants
of that same Democracy" . . q
"May it be written on my grave that
l never was its follower, and lived and
died in nothing its debtor -
From the Tribune October IL, 1867
If there was not a newspaper nor a
common school in the country, the Demo-
cratic party would be far stronger than
it is. Neither elementary instruction
nor knowledge of transpiring events is
necessary to teach the essential articles
of the Democratic creed: Glove rum
and hate niggers." The less one learns
and knows, the more certain he is to
"vote the regular ticket from A to L.
gard"
| From the Tribune, January T. 1861
The World recently gave graphic
account of the dens and denizens which
gave character to the Five Points and
other s'slums' of our city-a class per-
haps lower in the scale of being than
can be found in any heather city on
earth. We thereupon asked our cotem-
poary to state frankly whether the pu.
gilists, blacklegs, thieves, burglars, keep.

make up so large share of our clty's
inhabitants, were not almost unanimous

is no doubt that the Baltimore conven-

it does, thinks they should receive every

FEARFUL RAILROAD DISASTER IN CAN
ADA.-Last Saturday night the engine
of an express train on the Grand Trunk
Railway jumped the track, while run
ming at full speed near Belleville On
tario, causing two second-class passen-
ger cars to telescope with the baggage
car, and killing twenty-three of the pas
sengers and seriously injuring forty-two
others, so that very few of them can re-
cover. There were also two frst-class
coaches in the train, but none of the
passengers in these were injured. The
accident was undoubtedly caused by
defective rail. The dispatch giving an
account of the disaster says;
The sight was one to battle descrip-
ton. The terrible cries of the sufferers
rent the ears of the lookers-on, who
made every possible effort to grant their
request for water and food. And their
condition under the influence of their
terrible injuries was fearful to witness,
whilst the prayers and cries of Fremont
ton of approaching dissolution were
here and there heard. Those who were
least injured walked about swathed in
bandages and conversed freely about the
occurrence. The express and baggage
Car was forced past the broken engine
without injuring the messenger or bag
gage man, but the smoking car telescop-
ed the second-class car. The latter go
ing forward knocked off the safety valve
of the boiler, and remained on top of the
engine, allowing the steam to fill the
second-class car, which was crowded
with passengers, many of them lumber
men en- route for Quebec.

A HARD FATE.-A man in the State
Prison sent word to Justice of the
Peace at Trenton, n j., in order tc
make statement under oath that he
was the cause of a fellow prisoner being
confined in Jail, on sentence of twenty
seven years, for breaking and entering,
an offense of which the man is entirely
innocent. These people are Germans,
and, as far as their statements are con-
cerned, it appears that this man, through
the officers, was persuaded to plead
guilty, without knowing the effect of
any such plea, but under the general
idea and assurance that it would be
much better for him. The stunning
sentence of twenty seven years, ten
wears for each of the indictments, and
seven on third, on a man who had
committed no offence, but was at work
in another mans shop at the time the
burglary was committed, and who was
inveigled into the affair because, as 1t
appears. he had purchased from the real
thief. who now makes tie disclosure,
some articles said to have been stolen
such sentence, under the circumstan-
ces. must have fallen like a death knell
on the German when he came to under
stand it.

A SORROWFUL DILEMMA.-A veneer
able Kentucky Democrat, of the Nasty
persuasion, oppressed with grief at the
thought of being called upon to vote for
Horace Greeley, gives voice to his feel
ings as follows: Pm getting old, [
can't last long will soon step into
the grave l don't want to 90 to the
other world and meet our old Demo-
cratic neighbors and tell 'em I wound
up my life by votin for man who has
abused our party all his days, and to
whose infamous teaching, more than to
those of any other man living, we owe
the sad, sad, weeping days of fire and
sword and ruin of the past twelve years"

have gone on the wings of Time since
the MONITOR first set sail on the vexa-
tious sea of newspaperdom; and contrary
to the expectations of some doubling
ones-but not contrary to'our own how
ever-we have managed to keep our
head above water. We have all the
while had good deal of faith in the be-
lief that newspaper in this part of the
county would have no trouble in finding
enough of victuals and drink to satisfy
any ordinary appetite. And now, judging
from past and present indications, we
are more than ever convinced, that by
putting little hope and charity with
our faith, we shall be able not only to
make comfortable float, but good
strong swim. How sails the MONITOR 2
is question that has been asked many
times, both through the mail and by
persons visiting our Office. To those
that have come to us by letter we have
made no reply, for the reason that we
could not well write to each one sepa-
rate letter, and did not wish to be con-
tinually telling our readers of the Won
derful luck we were having. And now,
kind friends, we will answer all at once
and then keep still until the end of the
year. The MONITOR is now fairly un-
der way, having sailed for 26 weeks
without hitting either rock or snag nor
hos any great wave of discouragement
stopped on deck to SILVER our top mast
or carry away our jib boom. but every
thing has gone as smoothly as we had
any reason to anticipate. j. In short, it
has been as good as Moonlight Thro'
the Pines," or "Sitting on the Stile
with Mary"
If wejudge from what people tell us, we
are certain that the paper has given sat,
isfaction,-to some at least. We are
also aware that it has not just suited
everybody. We did not expect that in
the first place. The man that can please
everybody, generally has some terrible
disease about him that takes him away
from this earth very sudden. One was
never known to live over ninety days be.
yond the age of 81. But our aim has
been, if we could not please every one
to please all we could, and so it will al
ways be. If offense has been given tt
any -by'anything that we have SAID
we would say to such, that it was un
Intentional and we beg pardon.
We attribute our success thus far, no
to any talent or ability of our own, bu
to our Political, Religious and Agricul
tural editors; to our local correspond
ents, and the promptness of our subscrib
ers in paying up. TO these and to al
others, for their kind words and wishes
and assistance in helping us along, w
render our heartfelt thanks. We appre
ciate your friendship, feel truly grateful
and will try and 'tpay" sometime.
