The compilers of the Cincin-
natl Republican platform. ex-
tracted a few sentences from the
Declaration of Independence,
such as "all men are created
equal" but there are sentences
in that document which truthful
ly set forth the policy Of the Re-
publican party which they did
not copy but which we publish
for them. They are as follows /:
He has erected a multitude
OF new Offices, and sent hither
swarms of officers to harass our
people and eat out their sub.
stence."
He has affected to render the
military independent of and SUI
perior to the civil power"
He has combined with others
for suspending our own legisla-
lures, and declaring themselves
invested with power to legis-
late for u.s."

THE DANGEROUS ELEMENT AT

THE DANGEROUS ELEMENT AT
THE SouTH.-The dangerous ele-
ment at the South, says the AL
bany On. " Argus, is made up
of the thieves who have plumber
ed those States of hundreds of
millions of dollars, and who have
lied to the ignorant classes in
order to provoke riotous disturb
ances. Every State in Democrat
ic hands is orderly and peaceful;
taxes are lower; the right of all
classes are fully protected; the
blacks are treated better than
they are in Republican States.
In States under Republican con-
troll, taxes are enormously high;
riots are provoked by Republi-
can mischief makers; the public
treasures are plundered, and
mountains of debt heavily op-
press impoverished industries.
To overthrow the dangerous
element at the South it is only
necessary to place the control in
the hands of the intelligent
classes. In fact, it is only Re
publican States that are weakly
governed. 1t is only Republican
Governors who are unab BILE to pre-
serve order.

basis of the agreement between
the committee of gentlemen from

the Board of Directors of'that CON.
pany, in which the latter consented
that a charter should BIO adopted
containing that express pr0visiou..
Primarily was in favor Of securing
the passage of the road through nv

If Tilden were President, in less
than three months we should see
our finances on their best feet, taxa
ton reduced half and the currency

What is more, we should see tides
of northern capital flowing into the

sources into unexampled prosperity.

Do not lend your paper to a
confirmed borrower. Why Be-
cause it is an injury to both
yourself and the publisher of
your paper. Many would sub
scribe if they could not borrow,
and if many would subscribe
the paper would be better sup
ported and would be better. So
lay such plans as will enable
you gracefully to get out of the
newspaper-lending business

BRAIN AND NERvE.-Tilden
has great intellectual force and
moral courage of the highest
order. Brain-work is the bust
ness of his life, and his mental
vision is clear and far reaching.
Nothing daunts him. When he
takes his bearings and makes up
his mind as to where it is his
duty to go, HE GOES THERE, no
matter who attempts to obstrnct
his passage. fla dishonest Dem
ocrat stands in his way, he goes
over him and leaves him pros
trate and bleeding. He does not
stop to inquire whether cit will
hurt the party" or not, as timid
politicians are in the habit of
doing. He knows that a rogue
has no business in an honest
party, and he wants no rouges
in the Democratic party. He
has cleaned out the New York
ring, which was composed of
Democrats and Republicans in
about equal numbers, and when
he gets into the White House he
will clean out the great National
Whisky Ring which is made up
exclusively of Grant Republi-
cans, with Babcock for Head
Centre"

"PEAvINING. John Ran
dolph once said, he had lost
much during his life by telling
the truth, and that if he was
young he would "pea-vine it,"
too.
The last part, he meant to be
taken ironically.
A man frequently loses by
telling the truth; but, he had
better do it-not to gain patron.
age or favor, but in order to
maintain his self-respect, to pre-
serve the MEMS CoNscIA RECTI,
and to fit his spirit for the ethe-
real flight when it quits its tene-
ment of clay. For we are told
that, as the tree falls so it shall
lie, which means, we imagine,
that we shall enter the other
world with exactly the same
moral status that we made in
this.
Therefore, young man, don't
s'pea-vine it, but plumb the
tract. Every little deviation
from truth counts in building
your moral nature, as grains of
sand count in making up a
mountain. Don't "pea-vine it"
in politics, religion or anything
else, but act "on the square,"

He took thirty or forty glasses of

told the admiring crowd Of beer

his only duty was to draw and
spend his salary. That they did
not dare to turn him ont, for he
knew too much about their villainy.
and they were afraid he would

To DRESS Raw TOMATOES. Few per-
sons take the little trouble it requires to
make this common dish palatable. In
the first place carefully remove the
peelings, either after sealding the fruit,
or with knife if time does not allow
Of their becoming perfectly cold before
being used. Only perfectly ripe toma-
toes should ever be eaten raw. Slice
thin, and sprinkle generously with salt,
more sparingly with black pepper. and
to a dish holding one quart add light
tablespoonful Of sugar to give piquant
zest to the whole. Lastly. add a gill
Of best cider vinegar ; although, if you
would have dish yet better suited to
please an spicurean palate. you may add
teaspoopful Of made mustard and two
tablespoonfuls of rich sweet cream.
