GIN UNION THERE Is STRENGTH"

Who doth not know the fact! And
yet we do not always practice what we
preach, even when we know that what
we preach is sound doctrine. There
may be nothing strange in this fact,
since men everywhere can and do write
and speak far better than they live.
The reason is this They usually
write and speak in their best frame of
mind; they work themselves into the
very mood they most desire, and their
thoughts are then selected from the
best the head and heart afford. This
fact is plain to all observers.
But an oft repeated maxim wears
deep burrows in the mind and heart,
and has its bearing, and its legitimate
effect upon our lives.
The text implies that we have a
word to say about concert of action,
and that is just what we are about to
do. In society each particular indi-
vidnal is part of the whole. We can
accomplish little or nothing for the
public good, single-handed, hence men
have always banded themselves to-
gether, formed eompacts, societies
and parties.
And here is our application:-Five
years ago there was split in the Re-
publican party in Pierce county, and
one of the most bitter feuds arose that
was ever known in political cam
paign. 1t was not confined to poll
tics, but out of it grew bitter person
al quarrel, which operated against the
both private and public interests,
especially in this town, the effect of
which we need notattemptto describe.
At length, however, better counsels
prevailed leading men representing
each faction met, exchanged greetings,
dropped the discussion of things past
and gone, and determined upon a re-
union which should be as efficient for
good as any former discussion had
ever been for evil. And now just how
well their faith has been kept is clear
ly shown in the result of our late cleo
ton. Every man has been true to
his trust, confidence Is restored, and
the best of good feeling prevails.
Let us heed the lesson it imparts.
and ever keep in mind the motto at
the head of this article :--"Ia atnioA
there IS strength. "

And pillow your wheat field hour by hour
Till sundown-yes, till shine of stars.
You peg away the livelong day,
Nor loaf about. nor cape around;
And that's the road TO the threshin' floor,
And into the kitchen, I'll be bound.
Dye know the road where the dollars aref
Follow the red cent here and there;
For if a man leaves them, guess,
He won't find dollars anywhere.
Dye know the road to Sundays rest y

In field and workshop do y'r best,
And Sunday comes itself, I've heerd.
Dye know what road to honor leadsi
And good old ageY-a lovely sight!

And tryin' to de y'r dooty right.

And you're in doubt which one il is,
Stand still and let y'r conscience guide;
Thank God, it can't lead much amiss

Man worship we detest in any form,
and especially when it assumes politi-
cal one. Fortune and circumstances
often make politicians prominent, and
this is in consequence of friction with
society.
We would neither make gods or dew
lis of our fellows, and for this reason:
the terms being exchanged, the re-
verse. in either case, might have been
the result.
Ills true that there is merit In perse-
verance, ambition-yea, even in
..pluck." This is rough word. but
nothing else win express it, and. since
this is a rough world. it is fair to use
IT. But, while we may admire, 1t Is
not well to adore.
For titles, we have little or no
reverence: while we should pay
due Difference tn those in place
and power, il is only because this
is the duty of any true clti-
zen; let the heart bow only to superior
worth, and never sink the man or the
woman, into the fawniug sycophanf.

FAIR PLAY THE BEST POLICY.

EDITORS JOURNAL BY your report in
last weeks JOURNAL, OF the Farmers
Meeting held at Ellsworth the other
day. it appears that you are intending
to treat this class of your fellow-citi-
zens candidly and fairly, in their ef-
forts to promote their own interests,
and, as one of this class whose efforts
seem to be so thoroughly despised by
many of the partizan press, am glad
of an opportunity of publicly utter
ing an expression of gratitude for this
manifestation of respect for a portion
of your neighbors and readers who
are endowed with sights and capaci-
ties quite similar to other folks in like
situations. The wisdom of fair treat
ment and fair respect for us and our
| thoughts, will leave better effect and
| feeling in the future, than such sneer-
ing filings as Communism, Grangerism,
Democrat, Farmer Gudgeon," &C., as if
to shame us for having tie common
independence of citizens, or for ever
trying the lowly position of farmers.
We are striving to elevate the farmer
to make his business more inviting
and more remunerative that he may
have the more time to read and think
| and cultivate the mind and rise out of
the stupidity that enthralls him. And
in agitating the subject of our rights
and wrongs, we are doing precisely
what most, or all other occupations
have done before; we neither oppose
nor seek to injure any other legiti-
mate business--we uphold the very
principals of morality, and seek only
mans good OSBORN STRAHL.

THE ELECTION.

We are not among those who are
bOisterous during political campaign,
or rejoice very loudly over the result ;
nor do we ever despond over defeat.
We always endeayOr TO accept the sit
uation cheerfully, and to make the
best of everything.
A political victory, unlike military
one, is not a success unless it be fairly
won. Political strategy brings its
own reward political sins go home
to roost; and political defeat is some
times a glorious moral triumph.
Hence it becomes rejecting me- men
who expect to live longer in this world,
to be temperate in their zeal, and mod
crate IN their joy, even under the most
favorable circumstances.
And yet we are commanded to re-
jOice with those who do rejoice, and
to weep with those who weep. There
will, however, be but little weeping
over the results of the late election.
But, whether weeping or rejoicing. up
on the vanquished it may be well TO
beStOw the well-earned honor of faith.
full citizens, and give them the credit
of being persistent workers for the
cause in which they were enlisted.
And they, too, will rejoice in the work
they have done, still looking hopefully
forward for that success which they
ultimately anticipate.
Nationally, the contest has been one
of the most vigorous that this country
ever witnessed, and the whole nation
has been stirred up as it never was be-
fore.
In Pierce county the campaign has
seemed to lack vigor. At no place
but this village, have the Democrats
attempted to rally, and even here
there was not enough of showing to
arouse the Republicans from their
lethargy. The consequence was, that
the fight lacked not only vigor, but
regularity--system. The fight has
been singular, angular. and even tri-
angular.
REFLECTIONS.
Though the election is Over--thoGgh
the smoke of the campaign is being
swept rapidly from the field by the
wings of the telegraph--thOugh the
breeze they carry may watt softly
over hill, dale, mountain and plain,
clearing the murky clouds of political
debate from the columns of newspa-
pers, and the mouths of stump-speak-
ers, twelve months will not elapse be-
fore speculation will be rife upon the
issues, and the prospects of the next
campaign. MISUNDERSTANDING the
fact that the moral philosopher may
seem to notwithstanding the
fact that he may loudly proclaim that
the mind OF the nation has been quite
long enough tortured by the dark
poison of political heresy-that, quite
too long have we listened to denuncia-
ton and violence--that tits high time
that passion was supplanted by reason,
and that a general amnesty was pro-
claimed--the fact still stares us in the
face that political debate in America,
will never cease. 1t may lull for
season, but it will never rest.
