Republican Folly.

The Radical Congressional Committee at
Washington, in their patchwork called q
national address, attempt to connect things
that are not compatible or cougeuial. They
seek to bind up with ideas popular In the
West the civilrightS bill, which is not COM
m;ndcd ny anything to the respect or favor
of tie great majority of western people.
Present the question Of the propriety of ass
Jug that bill at any time to the western PEG.
pie, and they will vote against the bill by an
oye.w hclming majority.
On the currency question, the address will
run counter to the peculiar views of the
hard money grad: grinds of the East, and
without them there is no success for the
Republican party.
Another great folly of the address is in the
vain effort to combine the cold, selfish, and
greedy East with the western Changers. The
cement that will bind those two classes to-
-uether has never been invented AID never
will be. Theyare totally ds,imiar. 1t viii
be as easy to connect any other two antagon
isms. Cheap transportation, indeed! The
money Of the East built the railroads, ant
they must live. The East wants the trade
and they want dividends upon their money
When the proposition to reduce freight u
what railroad men will call ruinous rates, il
to be fought over in Congress, does any mar
suppose the East will cooperate with tn
West?
The materials Of the address are heteroge
neous, as much SO as those of which the Re
publican party is composed. But in the ad
dress they are presented in JuXtaposition
and their dissimilarity Is seen at once, while
in the Republican party they are covered VI
and accommodated in action and dellberatiol
by delusive compromises and deceitful ex
pedients, which are designed for the good 0
the unprlncipled partisan, and which result
in the injury Of the people.
That these incongruties have been force'
into print was unavoidable. It's an inciden
in the history Of the worst party that eve
existed on this continent, and marks it
downward way to destruction.

OBITUARY.

Died, on Thursday the 9th instant. in her seventy.

Va. .' Es.ift. .aai ~ y .sj&A
I Yer many years she had been consistent mem-

energy, with heart whose generous affections won

bad the best possible opportunities OF judging OF
her character. He has seen her IN robust health,
and with disease preying upon her feeble frame he
has seen her bowed down with domestic af1lct ions.
and in the very zenith Of domestic happiness land
amid OH the changes and vicissitudes OF lifes she
was the same true christian woman. Care, af1tc-
ton, and anxiety seemed only TO develop and bring
out the beauties OF her character. fs1} ">f#y
While mourning a loss that seems to MS almost
irreparable, we have the consolation of all chris.
iian hearts 10 know that she was calmly prepared
for and anticipated the sad event, and that sootIed
and sustained by manufacturing trust she approach

couch about her. and Hos down 10 pleasant dreams"
Let those ofus who knew and loved her emulate
her noble example, and resolve that her many vir-
tues shall serve us as beacons on the bleak shores Of

her in the better land.

The sea-saw.

The social see.saw which causes popnlafi
zion 10 yjssate between the cities and the
!. country Is now quite noticeable. because OF
the inclination OF people to 60 to towns 70
earn a support, and live, as they hope, COM
tortably. Circumstances VIII by aud by
change the current, and 1t will flow again TO
the country. Men must subsis', and when
the necessaries of life become diminished
and the sublime occupation of tiiling the
soil becomes better paid by comparison WIN
the rewards of labor In cities the hunoets
: that follow 1t will be increased.
By conspiracy OF circumstances Tue pa!
OF artisans has risen out OF proportion 10
!, that OF the farm laborer. Indeed, all city
. labor has been better paid than that Oh asri'
c,,,ture. II IS too easy 10 translate people
from country to town and r'ce oersa' 70
permit any dsproportion OF compensation
between the compensation in city ana to"h
to exist long without exerting the elect o.
transferring much population from one 10
the other. -
The country clnnot stand any serious dis'
nroporllon of this sort. Compensation must
he eoualzed in the land. Increased com
nepsation in one walk OF life will draw labor
from Others until excess Of labor in that re-
duccs compensation, and then popuia'ion
v;,b reference to pursuits will be reappor'
toned.
The wages of labor must be represented
in the cost of the fabric made BY labor. IL
that falls below them, then the manufactures
must fail. High prices Of manufactured ar
1ic!es diminish their consumption, ana inc
market Is soon oyer-stocked with them. The
remedy usually adopted is to run the manu-
factories on short time, permitting the work
men TO work parts of days. But il the price
Indicates wages for work much above the
compensation consumers of those articles re-
ceive. the final remedy must be diminution
of the pay for the labor employed In manu-
featuring Inc articles which have thus risen
TOO high.
In this way naturally the rewards OF labor
are always tending towards equalization.
An occupation which is better paid than
Others is soon overdone, and the price OF
labor ia it must come down. The different
pursuits Of society may be COMPARED to cir
Giles on the surface of sheet of water. One
cannot rise far above another. II soon sub.
sides, falling at first below the general sur
face, but soon rising to a level with others on
the general plane.
So it is with the ups and downs of families
which are always vibrating between wealth
and poverty. Industrious, enterprisIng sharp
men make money, their heirs spend it, and
their families are soon back again amongst
the poor, from whence the man who became
rich rose.
The social equilibrium must be in the long
run maintained The war and subsequent
events greatly dsarranged labor, and much
of the trouble We have comes of the effort to
reIrrange it-a natural effort, which may be
likeued 10 the efforts of muddy stream to
clear itself-an effort which must finally pre-
Vail however events may delay the process.

The late 4" jim. FISK" was president of the
Narragansett Steamboat Company, and he
swore no express company should run on

The inaccommodstion upon it was great,
and curses loud and deep were showered
upon him. Fresh fruits became stale before
they came to hand, and no man in the coun-
try was so generally damned as FISK. 1t is

THE APPEAL TO TIE PEOPLE

then begins as follows:
"You are about to select representatives
to a new Congress. We earnestly entreat
YOU to send the truest and abest Republi-
cans YOU have, but we entreat you to send
Republicans and not Democrats. You will
send one or the other. No matter what the
Individual may call himself or what disguise
he NAV wear, he will be Republican or a
democrat, There is at present no room for
any other style in our politics. Ii you 90
NOT mean to retrace the past you VIII select
Republicans and not Democrats. Ii you
mean to 20 forward in the future you will
select Republicans and not Democrats"
This paragraph hits at the southern Re
nublicans who voted against the ciyil-rights
Hill and some who did not respect party
traces with docility. The assertion that the
mission Of the Republican party is dead is
denied, aud in regard to the occasion for po'
Iitical effort on its part it is asserted that to
preserve the good already accomplished and
advance the work of reform is still its mis-
sion. -ost - = - : -
