Gg Nordhotf, in = recent letter to
the New YORK Herald, says that
more than $4,000, whites and blacks,
have removed from Georgia, during
the past five years. The next FIVE
years will witness larger exodus,
unless the Democracy Of the State ex-
tends justice to the laboring classes
the poor whites and black. Geor,
gia has everything to make of her
sslf grand manufacturing centre.
But she will grow less prosperous
every year, unless she adopts more
generous and humane policy toward
her working men.

Twelve Sacred Duties.
times.

Among the duties of the Repubi-
can party, for the performance of
which it stands pledged before the
world, are the following
l. To preserve the national Uuion,
and prevent the disciples of the Cal
houn doctrine of States Rights from
obtaining power.
2. To maintain the Constitution
and enforce the laws, in a spirit of
justice.
8. To protect every citizen, and
secure to him the enjoyment of lis
political rights and privileges.
4. To make freedom reality, by
securing to all law. abiding citizens,
freedom of speech; freedom of the
press; freedom of the ballot.
5. To provide a liberal system Of
education, by establishing Free
Schools throughout the land.
6. To remove, as far as possible,
all class or race prejudices, and to
develop spirit OF rivalry having for
its basis, merit and manhood.
T. To secure economy in the public
expenditures, an honest collection of
the revenues, and faithful and i'm,
partial performance of public duty.
8. To reduce the burdens of taxa
ton, by national system Of re-
trenchment, by the protection and
encouragement of home industry, and
by sound system of currency.
8. To elevate the working man, by
setting a good example in the employ
ment and payment of labor.
10. To encourage and develop the
agricultural interests of the nation
by wise and liberal system Of inter-
nal Improvements, that will benefit
the people and protect them from
monopolies.
II. To retain, for honest and in
dustrious settlers, the public lands,
and to encourage emigration
to the West and South, by liberal
homestead laws.
II. To establish fraternal feeling
between the North and South, by
making both sections mutually Deepen
dent upon each other; by enacting
equitable laws; and by fostering and
rewarding that spirit of loyalty which
begets true patriotism, and Cd which
the future safety of the Union de-
ponds.
These are among the sacred duties
Of the Republican party. To rightly
perform them, will require, in the
future, as in the past, the hearty CO.
operation of good men everywhere.
No local jealousies should come be,
tween the citizens and these sacred
duties. Men who have proven un-
faithful to the people and to their
trusts, must be laid aside; but the
great party Of liberty and justice
must not be sacrificed It's banners
must be borne aloft in triumph, and
its principles interviewer in our laws
and civilization. It's past record is a
record Of human fideIityto the noblest
attributes of humanity. 1t reads
like a chapter of Scripture-rich in
wisdom; full of earnest pleadings for
Divine justice. To destroy such a
party, in order to correct a few faults,
or to satisfy private malice, would be
to blot out the sun, because few
spots have been discovered on its
snrface.

Specht's Ferry by horse power +? We could
get no use of our road until we purchase our
locomotives, two or three of them, and several
truck cars; in fact we could not lay our rails a
mile before making these Immense purchases
We connect with no road whose rolling stock
we could hire or avail ourselves of for any
purpose.
In modern times a railroad in process Of
construction does its own hauling 1t carries

road branches off from an old one whose cars
can be used in the construction OF the new
one; or locomotives and cars must he pur-

would fail here.
No, if any one seriously proposes to build
a road to Dunleith, he must begin at the latter
place. II he builds broad gauge, he could
hire the construction cars Of the illinois

vie including rolling stock, p miles, at
Sl4 900 per mile, would exceed 100000; to
Dunleith, at least 80 miles, about 1870, 600.
If anybody should rent our equipped narrow
gauge for $4,000, he would only pay us per
cent on our outlay. Lancaster capitalists"
would not realize l6 per cent according to
cps" wild calculation.
There is both a narrow and broad gauge at
Plattevile Either road will be more than
glad to run its cars on our road in its construc-
ton or operation. Our company will rot
undertake to build road, at all, unless they
can make such connection with one of these
roads. 1t is utterly impossible for to purchase
our own rolling stock at present, in whatever
direction we may build. Our company has
business tact enough not to make All attempt
unless they can make a fair contract either
with the broad or narrow gauge at Platteville;
and both roads have shown their eagerness for
such an extension. And there is as fierce a
competition between the roads at Platteylle
as between any at Dubuque.
'P" says that we should build our road our
selves, and assumes that Patteville did not
That is the very thing Platteyille did. Who
ever builds, most Of the labor and materials
will be furnished at home; all except the iron
and rolling stock.
"P" may, perhaps, show that we can't build
road anywhere, but it is clear that if we
can't build to Plattevillc, we must abandon
the project at present. @

SOMETHING OF INTEREST TO THE
PEOPLE OF WEST GRANT-CAPTAIN
YOUNG FOR THE ASSEMBLY.
To the voters Of Fourth Assembly District.
As the time is at hand for the redemption
of outstanding promises for Legislative honors
made years ago, would it not be well for the
people to take it in hand and review the
prominent candidates before US, as well as
their chances in general.
The Democrats will make strong effort to
re elect Gov. Taylor, whom two years ago
they elected with the aid and lioerality Of the
then Liberal Republicans. These Liberals are
not at home in the Democratic party; at least,
large number Of them are confesseily not
most Of them were driven from the ranks
of the Republican party by the suicidal policy
Of that party shouldering the temperance
humbug 1t is of vital Importance to the
party that we seek to again unite with Us
those disaffccted, who two years ago turned
the scales against us We hear a temperance
man in the Fourth District saving, "Well,
Jul Di7Li iCG - StlpiiS CpttJtiCHl S'tlf Cdti
the District without the whisky vote" A
gentleman of the other extreme saws, 'sThose
extremists on the temperance question are
easily overcome; can carry the District in
spite Of them"
Now, gentlemen, this will not do. These
extremes are both wrong. We must this fan
elect our State ticket. The Fourth mast not
lose single vote for the sake of paving
individuals for past service. We must select
candidate around whom we can all rally and
one, too, who is not identified with the "Ring .
candidate who, by his popularity can draw
out rs or 100 otherwise Slack voters, will
swell the party vote just that much; aud this,
mind you, is not only for the Assembly District;
it IS for the benefit of the entire State ticket
But local candidate who can, besides doing
| the above, tLrn in his District Is or 100
| doubtful voters, Is worth just double that nun
| Der i'll the general canvass We must unite on a
man, a true Republican,, who is not identified
with any of the contending factions-a man
for whom the temperance apostle, the beer
drinkcr, the granger, the godly and the ungodly,
| can vote with one accord. Such a man is

The Moral of the Rosebud.

A rosebad in a garden lay,
Hid ali it's sweetness from the day;
Its crimson leaves were folded fast,
Though sUBbeamS softly DER it cast
Their golden glory and the breeze
Sang OF q thousand sights that please;
But ripping rain at length apart
Drew the green yestures from its heart
And LETT il smiling in the sun,
TO life and love and beauty won.
TreTalci the trees, the wind waXed high
Swept a fierce storm across the sky,
The lightning like a ~sword-blsde cleaned
From the dark cloud 4 torrent streamed,
And soon the radiant leaves empearled
Were scattered DER the weeping world.
True love is like a silver shower
That fills with light the summer hour:
But passion like a tempest sweeps
All loneliness TO darh>omc deeps.
Bright heart of boyhood, ponder long
Tho meaning Of the simple song!
