We have information from q
trustworthy source of the remark
able capture of a horse thief and
and recovery of the stolen horses.
through the al of spirits. The
facts are given to rs by Dubu
quer, who will vouch for their cor
rectness and substantially. At the
recent spiritualistic camp meeting
at Iowa Falls which our informant
attended span of valuable horses
were stolen one night from a stable
near by, and when the theft was
discovered the owner of the horses,
himself spiritualist-having come
many miles to be in attendance
applied to one of the mediums for
information concerning the where
abouts of the team and who had
stolen it. The medium would not
give the name of the thief, though
protesting to know, but told the
hour the team had been taken, the
route of the thief, and the rate of
speed at which he had driven, also
described the roads and by ways
through which he had passed, say
ing that at the time she was giving
this communication of the spirits,
the thief was resting the team at
an old deserted shanty in the woods
near the bank of a creek, and the
horses were eating The owner of
the horse, encouraged by the mi
nuteness of the details given by
the medium, but not yet full of
faith, tried another medium, who
knew nothing of the circumstances
or of his interview with the first
medium This medium gave nearly
the same communication from the
the spirits, and the owner of the
horses, accompanied by the sheriff
of the county, at once set out after
the team, then twenty miles away.
In a few hours they succeeded In
both horses and thief,
and described the route taken to be
in exact accordance with that de
scribed by the medium.
This may be set down as one of
the most remarkable evidences of
the power of mediums on record.
When help can be had from the in |
visible. all seeing spirits of the |
shadowy land, for the detection of |
crime and the arrest of criminals. |
then let rogues beware. We give |
the above item solely on our faith |
in our informant. It is of a char
acter that may be easily substanti-
ated or proven false by those who |
care to investigate. : Dubuque

How little We know of each other,
How ready we are TO condemn,
And lszily drift with the current
Twere manly and noble to stem,
When, could We know the temptations
And trials OF frail ones that fall,
Our Judgment were tempered with mercy
And tender compassion for all.
How little We know of each other.
How dim is prosperty's ray.
The trials and struggles that cover,
Like guilt from the eyes of the day,
The pangs of the houseless, the homeless,
The friendless on poverty s road,
May be at our threshold. unheeded,
And visible only to God.
How little We know of each other,
The brand of dishonor and shame
II truth We're as welcome as falSehood,
Might canonize many a name.
The culpi IL might put on the ermine,
The silver be purged OF its dross,
And crimes CHASTITY eibbet transfigured
To rnartyrdoms glorious cross.

part in the pending canvass. This
cannot consent to do, and therefore
respectfully decline l shall probably
vote for some of the candidates nom

but for reasons which consider salts

The recent address of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee con-
tains the following paragraph:
The failure, however, has relieved
the Democracy of the nation from all
obligations to the Liberal Republican
party, save in so far as Liberals are
Democrats, ready to sustain Demo
cratic principles, and to oppose the
encroachment Of central govern
ment upon the liberties of the people
and of the States.
The Democratic party in Missouri,
therefore, advances the Democratic
standard, placing around it Democrats
only.
The Democratic Convention of New
York adopted unanimously. amongst
others. the following declaration, re-
ported by Horatio Seymour, chairman
of the Committee:
The Democrats of New York. in

independence and patriotism of the

must satisfy the most careless observ-
er of this fact, for | am credibly in
formed that the nomination of Judge
Hall as a candidate for Supreme
Judge was opposed on the ground
that he voted for a certain ordinance
of the convention which was dIstaste-
full to secessionIsts.
What is meant by the declaration
that General Cockrell fought four
years for his Democracy? When
before was it ever admitted that the
war of the rebellion was a Democratic
war? These declarations of Demo
cratic doctrine in the Dispatch have
a peculiar significance when we reeoi
leet that Mr.. Hutchins is the chief
manager of that paper; that he is now
canvassing the State for the Demo-
cratic ticket, and that he is exercls-
ing more control ia the affairs of the
,,arty than any other man in the State,
For my part, want none OF such De
mocracy. [ would not oppose MIR. Har-

and | am told that Democracy means
rebellion. there is but one course for
me to pursue Above all other things
the country needs repose and order,
and if the people would seek their
true interests they should avoid rad
iealism of both extremes, but Missouri
Democracy is drifting into the worst
kind of radicalism. Its doctrine on
the currency question leads to repudi-
alton, and springs mainly from the
fact that the government bonds were
issued to raise means to carry on the
war; and its hostility to Union men
shows that it still harbors that 'yearn-
ing for revenge" that must inevitably
columinate in lawlessness and dis
order which will paralyze the industry
of our State and drive emigration
from its borders. And l am sure
that if the people of Missouri were
satisfied that success ofthe Democrat
ic party in this State would cause the
canonized bones of the rebellion to
break their cerements, they would
have none of it.
