The opinion of great papers upon the

great weight, since these journals ur,
morethoroughly posted than individuals
ordinarily are. We select therefore, N
editorial paragraph from the New York
HrdM upon the Ohio and Indiana vote
III the Democrats, says that paper, tri
umph in Indiana, they will have chances
OF clecting their presidential candidate
even ifOhio should go against them. The
Democrats have never expected to sue
coed in Ohio until within the last tive
or three weeks At the time of Their
national convention they deliberately
conceded ii to the Rcbublicnns by tn,
nomination of Governor Tildcn, whc
was so distasteiul to the Ohio Demo

RETROSPECTING.

There lies in the depth Of every heart
that dream Of youth and the chastcncd
wish of manhood which neither care
nor honors can ever cHtiuEuish, the
hope OF one day resting from the pur.
suits which absorb us, of intcrposing
between our old age and the tomb some
tranquil interval Of reflection, whom
with feelings not subducd but soltcuod,
with passions not exhausted bat met
lowed, we may look calmly onthetutmc
without apprehension But it seems to
lis Of the South that in the tumult OF
politics, in the weary labor for the sup
port and education of our families, that
this dream or aspiration Tor rest and
happiness has we'll nigh passed away
In the oldon time, with Southern soric-
ty well organized, and our people gen.
orally enjoying an easy compctunccand
ever extending warm hospitality,with
friends that were true, and a
country we'll governed and pros
porous, it were well worth
our while to rejoice and be thankful for
existence itself In those happy days
there was II charm thrown over South.
ern society by the genius OF it4 people,
by the purity and chiyaTy, the liberal
ity and courtesy, the elegance and re-.
incmcnt to which they had attained
in view OF which oven the enemies of
our institution have not been able to
withhold some measure of praise. The
spirit OF the southern people was gcner
Gus, mngnanimous, conlidiug. The South
was the home of all that is beautiful in
sentiment, all that is exalted in action
all that is cnnobling in thought
A land OF happy homes and fertile
fields, of honest ycomen, whose doors
were ever open in charity to the poor
and hospitality to the stranger land
in which pauperism and the vices Incl
dent to ii were unknown; II land Of
wealth without oppression of morality
without pharisaism, of religion without
tanaticism it was indeed, the Mircst be-
meath the circuit of the sun. Dead and

more than earthly glory resting upon it,,

poverty we endure, How our childrcn's
hearts and sonsiblitics may be moulded
and warped 10y this change in our own.
time only can tell, but To the thinker
the conclusion is we'll nigh irresistible
that the coming race, whilo quito us

ancestors will be wanting in that high
ehivalry, unthinking generosity, and
exceptional culture that marked the
true type of Southern men and wo. men
They will doubtless be cooler in judy
