doubt, be brisk, especially as the prices of

as she leaves on Tuesday next for Galveston.

South from the war must be abidcd and

Democratic Precedepts

General LOGAN in his great speech in
the Senate in defense of General SHERIpAN
at New Orleans cites several instances Of
Democratic preced.nts that were very per.
tinent and that will bear repeating:
Over sixty years ago General Jackson ar.
rested Nj. Louialler, a member Of the Leg
islature, who " "a the most troublesome OF
his enemies, and then put the Judge of the
United States Court, who had granted the
prisoner writ of hsbeas corpus, in Jail, and
banished him from the city. The Delnoc-
raey eulogiscd the General for tho act, and
afterwards elected him President Of the
United States. In 1854 Franklin Pierce.
the Democratic President OF the United
States, sent several sIldiers and marines in
TO the city OF Boston, arrested Anthony
Burns fugitive slave, and returned him 10
the State Of Virginia on a Government YES
sel. In 1853, under the orders OF Jefferson
Davis, Secretary OF war, acting undor the
authority of Democratic President. Col
Sumner, at the head of the United States
troops, dispersed both Houses of the Free
State Legislature al Topeka, Kan, by force,
and this action was indorsed and applaud
cd by the Democracy all over the country.
In 1861 General Mcclellan issued his or
der for the arrest OF the Maryland Legisla-
ture, and the first opportunity that prescnt-
ed itself, the Democrats ran him for Presi-
dent.

While the Grangers are doing good and

dertaking to set up supply stores for gcner

and extended to them credit. the Grangers
are doing what is against their own uIti- |
