There is world of truth in the rhymes

tinted that whatever touches the feel

and sometimes on the character, and
these are as often reached by the small
words and acts as those which may
carry with them power for evil. 1t is
the barb of the arrow which rankles in
the wound and causes it to become in
famed, just as the motive, which

mostly carries a sting which magnifes
them out of all proportion. The wor-
ries of business appear to possess an
accumulation power when the mind is
prepared to receive them, until they are
unused and brooded over and the mental
and physical systems are deranged and
drawn from their normal condition. The
individual becomes morbidly sensitive
and respondent. The close connection
existing between mind and matter, de-
ranges the animal functions, superin-
duces disease, and he dies before his
time, simply from ,corry.
Instances of the effect of this condi-
ton of the Inild are not wanting in any
community. The happy man and wo-

hold The Democracy to the dark

very anxious now to forget the

as a scoundrel who has fraudu-

cedents, 50 the Democratic party
not only processes an anxiety to
forget the past but actually re-
sents any allusion to its infamous
political record as a piece Of i'm
pertinence. On the strength Of
this idea they have constructed a
set Of cant phrases about "the

Another Democratic lie
Rallied.

Democratic newspapers are Civ
ing long lists Of names Of new
converts that are supporting Til
den. Prominently among them
was that OF Robert Lincoln, only
son Of Ex-President Lincoln, who,
it was claimed, was TO stump Hi
noise for Tilden. But as usual it
turns out to be a Democratic lie.
We give the following from the
Chicago Journal:
\ Journal reporter. this morn
ing Gagged Mr.. Robert 7. Lin
coin in his private Office, and
proceeded to extract from him
the truth-or rather the falsity-
of a recent statement in the New
York World that he was about tc
stump for Tilden and Hen
bricks. The newspaper man asked
if such was the fact.
Mr.. Lincoln picked up and au-
dibly perused a letter, "thankin2
God that he was going to work
for Tilden and Hendricks" He
then said: Il propose TO tell the
gentleman that he can withdraw
his thanks.'
Another letter expressed "the
deepest sorrow that he should
undertake such a mission. MIR
Lincoln proposed to tell The All
thor Of the missive that he "neeC
mourn no longer"
Mr.. Lincoln said that he at
tached but little consideration t
any such statements; he was no.
in active politics, and would no
stump Illinois, or any other State
for Tilden and Hendricks, Or an,
other candidates. He was a Re
Apublican.

Political Honesty.

Mr.. Tilden is q hard money
man, and is pledged to his party
in New York State to the "No step
backward" line Of policy. The
Democratic Platform calls for a
repeal Of the Resumption Law,
which is the only act looking di-
rect to the honest payment Of our
just obligations in hard money
that there is existing. Thus, while
Mr.. Tilden at home, and in the
east generally, is known and is
Dragged ofas being in favor ofspe-
Gle resumption, his platform faces
squarely the other way. What is
the use of this doublefaced way Of
doing business? 1t is simply to
play on the ignorance ofone class
Of people. If Mr.. Tilden is honest
in his hard money opinions, how
can he stand on such q platform? There
trickery here, and it shows that he
is not the man to govern our ma
ton. New York State stands OBJ
ligated to resume specie payment

Gov. Tilden was a copperhead
of the first water, still, though he
sympathized with the South, he
had too little spunk to shoulder
arms and fight for his convic-
tions. Honest COnfederates de-
spise such men, and their hatred
is only exceeded by that of the
FederaIs toward the ones who put
themselves just enough in the

Consistency.

The Democratic Journals of the
day exhibit a degree Of consisten-
cy that is truly wonderful to the
average reader. 1t is supposed
that what men write and throw
out 20 The public through the
Press ought 10 have some resem-
blance to the truth. but when we
see publications on one side Of
the renee one day and on the OPP
posite side the next, our conf
dence in their integrity is shaken.
Before the ST. Louis Convention
met the Nashville American could
not find space enough TO express
It's thorough antipathy toward Mr..
Tilden, and it published some
very wholesome truths concern
ing him, and especially with ref
erence to the advertising trick
which Mr.. Tilden's friends used
to such good advantage in some
parts Of the country. The Ameri-
can played It's cards to the best
advantage, and if all the Press
had worked as well, Mr.. Tilden
would not have been nominated.
But he was, and now in the face
OF all its past record, and giving
the lie to all its manful fight
against the sham "refOrmer,"
the AmericaR turns, and is as in
dustriously laUding as it was de.
nouncing Mr.. Tilden. Now we
ask, is such Il course of action a
characteristic OF Journalistic hon
esty and integrity? The Mem
phis 1UoIancbe is a thousand-fold
more respectable in that it holds
to It's independence, and refuses
to belle itselfby supporting the
man it denounced before the
country-Samuel J. Tilden.

TEE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,
PLATFORM.

The following is the platform, as
adopted By the National Republican
Convention that nominated Hayes
and Wheeler:
When in the economy Of Proyi-
dence this land was to be purged OF
human slavery, andwhenthe strength
Of the Government Of the people, by
the people, for the people, was dem
onstrated, the Republican party came
mo power. It's deeds have passed
into history, and we look back tc
them with pride. Incited by their
memories and high aims for the good
of our country and mankind, and
looking to the future with unfalter-
ing courage, hope and purpose, We,
the representatives Of the party in
National Convention assembled make
the following declaration of princi-
pies:
First. The United States of Amer
lea as a nation, not a league; by the
combined working of the National
md State governments under thei
respective Constitutions, the rights OF
very citizen are secured at home and
,rotected abroad, and their common
gelfare promoted.
Second. The Republican party
MS preserved those governments to
the hundredth anniversary Of the 10
tons birth, and they are now embod-
iments of the great truths spoken at
its cradle, that all men are created
equal; that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain inalienable
rights, among which are life, liberty
NJ the pursuit f happiness; that
- the attainment Of these ends gov
aments have boon instituted among
en-, deriving their just powers from
"a oaosa't Of tho governed; until
those truths are cheerfully obcyed, if

of the Southern section Of the Union,
the complete protection of all its citi-
zens in the free enjoyment Of all
their rights are duties to which the
Republican party are sacredly pledg-
l.. rApplausg. The power to pro-
ide for the enforcement of principles
,bodiod j. the recent constitutional
amendments is vested by the amend
mehts in the Congress Of the United
States, and we declare it to be the
solemn obligation of the legislative
and executive departments OF the
Government to put into immediate
and vigorous exercise all their consti-
tutional powers for removing any
lust causes of discomfort on the part
of any class, andsecuring every Amer
can citizen complete liberty and ex.
net equality in the exercises Of all
civil, political and public rights (Ap-
