Springs.

a spring is always a vital point in the
land-cape; it is indeed the eye of the
trld-, and how often, too, il has a noble
eyebrow in the shape of an overhansing
bank or ledge. Or else its site is marked
by some tree which the pioneer has wise
ly left standing, and which sheds a cool
Ness and freshness that make the water
more sweet. In the shade of this tree
the harveSters sit and eat their lunch
and look out upon the quivering air of
the fields. Here the SUNDAY sannterer
stops and lounges with his book, and
hathes his hands and face in the cool
fountain. Hither the straw berry girl
comes with her basket and pauses a mo-
ment in the green shade. The plowman
leaves his plow and in long strides APP
proaches the life-renewing spot, while
mis- team, that cannot follow, Look wi-t-
fully after him. Here the cattle love to
pass the heat of the day, and hither
come the birds TO wash themselves and
make their toilets.
Indeed spring is always an oasis in
the desert of the fields. It is creative
and generative center. 1t attracts all
things to itself, the grasses. the mosses,
the flowers. the wild plants, the great
trees. The walker finds il out, the camp
ing party seek it, the pioneer builds his
hut or his house near it. When the
settler or squatter has fonnd a good
spring, he has found a good place to be-
gin life; he has found the fountain-head
of much that he is seeking IN this world.
The chances are that he has found a
southern and eastern exposure; for It is
fact that water does not readily flow
north; the valleys mostly open the other
way; and it is quite certain he has found
a measure of salubrity. for where water
flows, fever abideth not. The spring, too,
keeps him TO the right belt, out Of the
low valley, and off the top of the hill.
Then there seems a kind of perpetual
spring-tim about the place where water
issues from the gronnd-a freshness and
a greenness that are ever renewed. The
grass never fades, the ground is never
parched or frozen. There is warmth
there in winter and GOODNESS in SIMMER.
The temperature is equalized. In March
or April the spring runs are bright
while the surrounding fields
are yet brown and sere, and in fall they
are vet green when the first snow covers
them. Tins every fountain by the road
side is fountain of yonth and of life
This is what the old fables finally mean

WHAT BUSHNELL FORGOT.

Bushnell's "fgurative' speech in
dicates that though young in Democ-
racy he is worthy to rank with M.
M. Strong as a fgurer. By going
back to the close of the war and
forgetting to say anything about
the large floating debt in the way OF
balances on army contracts, back
pay to soldiers, &c, which aggre-
gated several millions, but which
did not then appear as part OF the
national debt; and forgetting many
other important items. he made it
appear that the Republican party
had been very extravagant. he told
US that Buchanan's administration
cost only about s60,0O0,OUO per an
mum, while since 1865 the average
expenses under Republican rule had
been S215, 100000. But he forgot
to mention that Andy Johnson's was
not a Republican Administration.
He forgot also to mention that
within the last eleven years this
nation has increased in wealth and
population; that there had been
many new territories organized with
governments for the nation to sup
polt. lie omitted further to refer
| to the fact that under Buchanan
there being no immense sums to raise
to meet demands occasioned by the
Democratic war, there was no need
for the thousands of officers now
necessarily employed in the various
revenue departments of government.
He failed TO tell us that the country
demanded few thousand additional
post-masters and few hundred new
mail routes to accommodate the
the people. He forgot that the
army and navy force had been
greatly increased since Buchanan's
time, and the pay Of prisates in
creased from Sll to SIC per month
and officers pay in the same ratio
He forgot to mention, too, that while
the aggregate expenses OF running
the Government is greater now than
under Buchanan, the rate in pro-
portion to population and wealth OF
the country is considerably less. In
fact, if Che matters which he forgot
had been given their proper places
among his figures, he could have
made a very effective Republican
speech.

GOVERNOR Din in speaking Of
Governor Tilden at the Cooper In
stitute, On Tuesday evening, October
Sd, said:
"Fellow-citizens, it would be an
unhappy day for him as well as for
the country, if he were elevated to
the Pre- ,idcncy, for if he were dis
posed to do right, he has none of the
qualities which fit a man in great
emergencies to meet them with
promptness and determinations
You are, no doubt, aware that
he is prosecuted by two railroad
corporations for moneys which they
accuse him OF fraudulently with
holding from them-one suit for
$40. 200, and the other for SSo,oUU.
These suits were brought long befol c
he was nominated for the Presidency,
with no sinister object, but with a
confident belief on the part of the
directors of those corporations that
he had fraudlently appropriated TO
his own use enormous sums TO which
he has no title. 1t is the first time
in our history that the integrity of a
candidate for the Presidency has
been thus impugned, and trust that
the result of the election will be so
decisive that it will be the last.
There is another accusation of a
much graver character, which an
abortive attempt has boon made to
explain-that of defrauding the
Government by false return OF his
income. | wish, for the honor Of the
country, that he could have shown It
to be uufounded, To his numberless
disQuaHGcations for The high office
. to which he is nominated, 1t Is
/ to be leplored that we could not
have been spared the modification,
as American citizens, of seeing SUI
/ peraddcd the last act of dishonesty
. with which he is charged. Intense
prejudice may blind political parti-
aans, but cannot conceive how any
disinterested man can give him a
vote

DEMOCRACY AND STATE SOVEREIGNTY.

In his excellent speech delivered
at the City Hall last Wednesday
evening, Hon VIM. WEIGH showed
clearly that from it's inception to
the present the Democratic party
has been the special champion OF
the fatal heresy ofState Sovereignty.
From he days Of Jefferson down,
through its many leading men and
its national cor MENTIONS, the doctrine
was traced to Tilden and his sup
porters. A belief in this doctrine
led the South II attempt secession.
The same belief led James Buchanan
to sit idly by WI ile state after state
passed the ordinance Of secession,
and the military Wand naval property
of the nation was being seized and
turned against NJ belief in this
doctrine led Mr.. Buchanan to declare
that he as President had no power
to coerce the South. Firmly be-
leiving in the same doctrine, SAINT
J.. Tilden declared in 1860 that a
state "might snap the tie that bound
her to the Union" as a nation might
break a treaty; and as late as 1864
believing in the same doctrine he
declared to Governor Underwood Of
We mont, that every northern soldier
who trod on southern soil during
the war was trtspasser, and liable
to be sued for such trespass IN any
u. S. Court That the people of the
South firmly believe in the same
doctrine to-day there can be no
shadow of doubt and that they may
again attempt in the near future to
secede is not improbable. That Mr..
Tilden has ever changed his views
as to this doctiile there is not the
slightest evidence, and that he would
feel it his duty 10 restrain a state
or any numt + Of states attempting
to act in accord once with the state
sovereignty theory as advocated by
the Democratic party through all it.
history, there is title reason to hope
The Republican party holds, on
the contrary, that this IS q nation
not merely confederation OF states
that the seneral government is su'
perior to any state, and has power tc
compel any stateto obey the laws o.
Congress: to remain part of this
mutton whether willing to do SO OF
not, and to protect citizens in the
exercise of their rights wherever
they may be located. In short, the
Democratic doctrine IS that The
states Of this Union are bound to
gether by q himsy conventional tie
a rope Of sand that may be broker
at will by any member; while thu
Republican idea is that the severa

PHO \. ORION is out in a card
denying that he wore copperhead
badge or encouraged resistance to
drafts during the war; and we must
accept his denial as truth. He, how
ever, fails 10 deny that he attended
Jake Thompson's meeting at Spring

part in peace. The people would
like TO hear from Mr.. Orion on this
head.
