STATES RIGHTS UNDER ANOTHER NAME

We have never heard of a weaker argu-
ment being offered to an intelligent people
for the purpose Of influencing their actions
than that from jealous Democrats and
Greeleyites, to the effect that Grant should
be beaten because of the centralizing ten
denotes of his administration. It is an in
salt to the people, to assume that they are
to be influenced by such false and silly
stuff. If any one has been influenced by
II, and will just stop and think over the
matter ten minutes, we will guarantee that
every impression made of an unfavorable
nature towards the Republican party,
or to this question, will vanish like
the morning mists before the summers
sun.
Who expected, after the experience
of the late war, that a policy would not
prevail, calculated to impress upon the
public mind the fact, that State must be
su coordinate to the Federal Government?
This is the policy of the Republican party
and this is what States Rights, Secession
brtwlers, and hypocritical Greeleyites are
pleased to style Capitalization. The
American people are i'll favor of centraliza-
ton, when used in this sense. We are de-
cidedly in favor of the Federal Govern
ment retaining sufficient power over the
States i'll the future, that when treason
dares to raise its Iugly form, and traitors
dare to speak their infamous senti-
ments, there shall be authority vested some
where, to summarily try, and if found
guilty to hang or shoot such offenders. We
have had one rebellion growing out of this
question of State rights, and we know its
terrible results. We cannot afford another
one. All States and all sections of the
Union are interested in guarding against
such an occurrence. This it will be well
for those to understand, who are shrieking
for States rights, 10y crying out "centrali-

Senator Sumner is preparing another ''big

It is said to be a startler. He will prove
that Grant never commanded the United

IS larger than it was OH the 4th day of
March, 1869. 1t might be well if some
friend of the Senator would furnish him

is related the story of the frog that under

The RICH AND THE Poor What is
wealth Wealth is whatever men can real
ize from Nature for their sustenance and en-
joyment. Labor is what realizes it. Pru-
dence save from it, aud the savings become
capital, which helps to extend and multiply
the operations of her labor, and thus creates
more capital. The wealthy are composed of
those who have inherited property from
others, those who have acquired it acciden-
tally and those who have realized it for
themselves. The poor, in like manner, are
composed Of those who have inherited pow
erty from others, those who have become
poor through accident, and those who have
brought poverty upon themselves. The
most familiar mode of producing proverty is
by idleness. A man will not work he re-
allies no wealth /; he is of course poor. Or
he squandcrs in some absurd manner the
earnings which he does realize. and thus re-
mains equally poor as if he did not work.
The poverty arising from idleness will only
be durable, as it has ever been, by industry.
That which comes from wastefulness will on
" be cured by economy.

When you meet with one suspected,

Guard thine every look and action,
Speak no word of heartless blame
For the slanderer's vile detraction
Yet may soil thy goodly name.
When you meet with one pursuing
Ways the lost have entered III,
Working out his own undoing
With his recklessness and sin,
Think, if placed in his condition,
Would kind word be in vain
Or look of cold suspicion
Win thee back to truth again.
There are spots that bear no flowers,
Not because the soil is bad,
But the Summers genial showers
Never make their bosoms glad.
Better have an act that's kindly
Treated sometimes with disda;n,
Than by judging others blindly
Doom the innocent to pain.

That wounded as it fell.
That chilling want of sympathy

Whose hopes are bounding high,
In an unfading record kept,
These things shall never die.
