John G. Whittier, in the Atlantic.
Our work as q convention was
now done. President Green arose
to make the concluding address.
The circumstances under which it
was uttered may have lent it an
impressiyeness not its own; but at,
I now recall it. it seems to me the
most powerful and eloquent speech
to which I have ever listened. He
passed in review the work that had
been done, the constitution of the
new society, the declaration of SEN
timents, and the union and earnest
ness which hadlrarked the proceed
ings. His closing words will never
be forgotten by those who heard
them:
Brethren, it has been good to
be here. In this hallowed atmos
phere I have been revived and re-
freshed. I have here met congo
NAL minds; I have rejoiced in sym
pathies delightful to the soul
Heart has beat responsive to heart,
and the holy work of seeking to
benefit the outraged and despised
has proved the most blessed en-
ployment.
'.But now we must retire from
these ba]my influences and breathe
another atmosphere The chill frost
will be upon us. The storm and
tempest will rise, and the waves of
persecution will dash against our
souls. Let us be prepared for the
worst. Let us fasten ourselves to
the throne of God as with hooks of
steel. If we cling not to Him, our
names to that document will be
but as dust.
''Let us court no applause; in
dulge in no spirit of vain Boosting.
Let us be assured that our only
hope in graphing with the bony
monster is in an arm that is strong
er than ours. Let us fix our gaze
on God, and walk in the light of
his countenance. If our cause be
just-and we know it is-His ON
impotence is pledged to it's triumph.
Let this cause be entwined around
the very fibers of our hearts Let
our hearts grow to it, SO that moth
ing but death can sunder the
bond"
He ceased, and then, amidst a
silence broken only by the deep
drawn breath of emotion in the
assembly, lifted up his voice in q
prayer to Almighty God, full of Fer
vor and feeling, imploring his bles
sing and sanctfcation upon thu
convention and its labors. And
with the solemnity of this suppl
cation in our hearts, we claspet
hands in farewell, and went fortl
each man to his place of duty, no
knowing the things that should be
fall us, as individuals, but with
confidence, never shaken by abus
and persecution, in the certain tri
umph of our cause.

AT this season, when buckwheat
cakes constitute a part OF almost every
breakfast, the announcement that the
syrup wherewith we have been wont
to baptize them is q delusive adultera-
ton, cannot but produce dismay. A
New York grand jury, after listening
to the testimony Of reputable experts;
has made presentment against the
sugar refiners and syrup manufacture
ers. It appears that the golden drips
the most prized are the most adultera-
ted, and that what we have believed
to be the quintessence of saccharine
matter is, after all, combination of
salts Of iron, muriate of tin, glucose,
corn starch, sulphuric acid, and sugar.
In fact, it has been limited that if our
iron ore supply should fall short that
blast furnaces could then use molass-
es in its stead; and that if our tin
mines should fail we could supply the
deficiency by boiling down our most,
delicious straw colored syrups. Much
Of the agitation has arisen by reason
ola lady dropping little syrup into
cup Of tea, which Immediately be-
came as black as ink. She thought
an attempt WAS being made to poison
her, and straightway complained. 1t
appeared that her alarm was caused
BY the manufacturer having added q
little more Of the salts of iron than
usual in that particular lot Of syrup.
These deleterious substances, which
are used to improve the appearance
of the larticle sold, are injurious to the
system and can be easily detected.
The sugar and syrup eating commune
ty of New York are demanding that
the offending makers of these spuri-
GUS sweets shall be prosecuted. IF you
doubt the purity Of syrup hare il
analyxed by the nearest chemist. ssa.

In certain sections of the country
where the Patrons OF Husbandry hold
the balance of power there seems to
be growing tendency to convert the
order into one of a political character.
The temptation to form new party
which shall represent a leading inter-
est, and unite a powerful class against
smaller and weaker ones, is both
strong and natural, and to resist it de-
mands the highest order of patriotism.
We have large sympathy for the farm
ers' movement, and believe that by
proper management it can greatly ben
eft the interest which it was formed
to protect Its founders saw the dam
gers which the introduction of politics
would cause, and wisely excluded its
presence from the order. We are glad
to know that the prevailing sentiment
of the oranges is against the move
ment now on foot by certain designing
men to use the order for political pur-
poses. It's best friends see in this
movement the defeat of its principal
objects, and the early dissolution Of
the order itself Whatever tends to
weaken the Republican party as a ma
tional power, takes from it the ability
TO bring about the reforms which the
farmers of the West stand in need of.
To break away from that party, and
form another on purely class grounds,
may for time insure local advantages,
but these will be purchased at the ex-
pense of greater advantages, which
must of necessity be national in their
character. Cheaper transportation to
the sea-board, and to the markets OF
the East is one of the necessities of
the hour. 1t affects all sections of the
country, and to bring it about requires
the united efforts of the representa-
tives of all branches of industry. The
Republican party is fully alive to the
importance OF Orening new outlets Tor
Western production, and has already
taken steps to secure them at.an early
day. To cripple the party by with
drawing from it enough strength to
throw the election into the hands of
the Democracy would be to imperil
the best interests of the West. We
cannot but regard this movement to-
wards the formation of third party
as nothing more nor less than Dem
ocratic dodge, having for its object the
disruption of the Republican party by
division in its ranks Every Repub-
lican farmer in the West should be on
his guard against the seductive influ-
ences of those politicians who assure
them that nothing but a farmers ticket
can secure the relief they demand Il
the farmers hold the balance of power
in any State, they have it within Their
power to elect men who shall repre-
sent their interests. This can be done
through the Republican party withou
in the least weakening its power: W.
sincerely hope that the Republican
farmers everywhere will lrown dow
all attempts to nominate a class ticket
1t will lead to organization of othe
interests against them, and defeat tn
/ project now on foot for their relief
! If they want to be felt in politics lie
them be more active in the ranks o
the party, and seek the nomination 0
men who will truly represent them il
the State and national councils.-Vin

A N
Union Victories?
The public from time to time have
heard something about a claim
before Congress in behalf of woman
who is said to have acted the part of
strategist on the Union side at an i'm
portant stage of the war-a Joan of
Arc, who did not actually lead armies
to triumph in person, but who pointed
out the route they were to take and
did take. The case is that of Miss
Carroll, the granddaughter of Charles
Carroll, Of Carollton, whose name thus
stands on the Declaration of indie
pendence. Though living in the midst
of the secessionists of Maryland, Miss
Carroll preserved the patriotic spirit
Of her ancestry and remained true to
the Union, for which she labored and
wrote. Thus attracting the attention
of the Government by her ability, she
was commissioned by the War Depart
ment, in the fall of 1861, to make
tour Of Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky
and Tennessee, ostensibly as CORES
pondent, but for the real purpose of
gathering information needed by the
Department. It was at time of gen
eral depression among Union men,
when the immense difficulties of over
coming the rebellion had been taught
by the disastrous events on the Poto-
mac. About the middle of October
she discovered--in tho eminently wo-
man-like way-through the wife of a
pilot, that preparations, were on foot
for grand expedition down the Mis-
sissippi. =
After acquainting herself as thor
oughly with the subject as she could,
she wrote to the War Department.
under date of November 80, 1861, that
the contemplated plan was a mistaken
one, and that, for various good reasons
which she gave, the campaign ought
to be transferred to the Tennessee
river, ''the true key to the Southwest y
as she calls it. In the ensuing spring
she renewed the advice and proposed
the capture of Vicksburg, writing two
letters on the MATERIAL of which are
on record. Her plan was adopted
with what consequences the, world

I fact is said to be indisputable, that the
records of the War Department show
