Frederick Douglass, the colored
orator, in a speech delivered at a
town in Western Maryland a few
days ago, among other elegant
things, said: AS it was to no par
ticular section that slavery was
owing, so it was to 70 particular
side that the freedom of the colored
race was due 1t is true that the
rebel armies fought for slavery and
the Union armies for freedom, but
IN the beginning both armies would
have united to rivet their chains
upon the limbs of the slaves. So
strong was the feeling that the
Union soldiers threatened to throw
down their muskets and go home if
the colored race should be incorpo-
rated in the army. But when the
war became doubtful, and the South3
ern armies, defiant and victorious,
threatened Washington, then and
not till then were the services of the
colored men accepted, and from that
moment the freedom of their race
was assured. Amidst the crash of
Earring sections, born in blood and
Graded in the storm, the liberty of
this colored American sprang into
being, and their freedom they owed
to Almighty God.

A prominent farmer in the wheat
belt has this to say: 1T is my
candid opinion that great deal is
gained in drilling wheat. In the
FIRST place the saving in seed, where
large area is sown, will pay the
cost of drill in one or two years, a
bushel of seed drilled being fully
equal to a bushel and a half or
more sown with the hand. Then l
know from experience that drilled
wheat bears the winter much better
than broadcast: and lastly, drilled
wheat can be cultivated. The yield
is greater and the quality of the
grain finer than where the seed is
sown broadcast. The price of a
drill is from $50 to 100.

The n, \. Republican Platform.

Political platforms these days are not very
entertaining or profitable reading, yet that Of
the late New York republican convention at
Rochester, if correctly copied by the Bohemian
Of the n. Y. Wor!d, is so unique and original
in its way, that our readers may not grudge
The space here TO reproduce it-as follows:
FIrst-In the beginning was created the
heavens and the earth. The square described
upon the hypothenuse-(applause and cries OF
"Bully!'')-ofa right anged triangle is equiv
alent to the sum Of the squares described in
the other two sides. Therefore if the national
executive comes out ahead with his policy,
which we don't say we hope be wont and like
wise on the contrary--(The reading Of the rest
of this resolution was lost amid uproarious ap-
plause)
Sec0nG-There is no apparent need Of any
apparently needless public officer, and we sol
emily affirm that neither too much pay nor
too little is Just enough; that ii is the duty of
such officer to do his duty, and outside of that
TO do what he pleases, if it is all the same to
YOU, Mister Hayes. Also, if congressman
can't have any places To give away, neither
shall you, Mister Hayes.
IHird-lIonest labor is much better than
dishonest labor-for American citizens. Ii
may even he called the best and highest cNcr-
lion, though nobody has hit upon calling il so
before. Therefore, We repeat what we said in
the second resolution
F0urth-Federal Office holders constitute a
great body oi oar felOw-cltizens. They are so
few and mild and weak that nobody ever dar-
Cd allegc iliai they could control or even
strongly influence other voters. 1t is against
all experience 10 say To the contrary. No
such thing as a custom.house faction or an in
huential postmaster was ever heard of. Cries
of"Hear, hear" and arplausc.)
FJH-AS TO the silver question-oh, hur-
rah for coinl
.SiHh-Secing that we have given away all
ihcp public lands let's keep the rest sacred Ia
the use of the glorious people.
SeceRH-Ncw York City shouldn't be made
20 pay all the expenses of all the country
schools. (Sgrcdl CHAs f.. SMITH,

lNoTE.-Nc are not sure that our' reporter

EtgE-Ihc surface OF the earth is divided
between land and water This great truth has
been stated before, but we hope that its re-en
action viii appease our dear friend the labor
ingman while it encourages our dear friend
the capitalist.
NiHGt-We do now SOlemnlv arraign, ap
peal, declare and demand Also We rccur, VT
recognize and we point with pride Then We
place our hands upon our hearts and sweal
that the only appointment ever contemplat
I'd by the state constitution WIS: The stat,
