Now and Then.

1t is eighteen years since the Dem
ocratic party had a majority in both
branches of Congress. The Ohio
convention to-day will see TO it that
this cannot be said after the 46th
congress Observation-Disclosures.
Let us see. Eighteen years. That
was in 1860. Exactly. That was the
time the Democratic rebellion Oc
Cured. Lincoln was elected by the
people. The Democrats would not
submit. Hence bloody civil war
hence several hundred thousand
graves in which rest the bodies OF
American citizens; hence a huge
national debt; hence heavy taxes
hence hundreds of thousands OF
widows and orphans; hence the
shot gun election policy i'll the
south; hence the hard times through
which the country has been passing.
This is in part what the Democratic
party has to show for its ascendancy
in congress eighteen years ago.
Eighteen years ago. Contrast the
Democracy of 1878 with the DemOc-
racy of 1860. There is no change
for the better. If any change it is

There's Jane Sophia,

With Obadiah,
And Jedekiah,
In our choir.
And Jane Sophia soprano sings
So high you'd think her voice had : illEs
10 soar above ali earthly things.
When she leads of on Sunday;
While Ann Maria's alto choice,
Rings out in such harmonious voice,
That sinners IN the church rejoice.
And wish she'd sing till Monday
Then Obediah's tenor high
Is unsurpassed beneath the sky
just hear him sing sweet BY and BY
And you Will sit in wonder;
While JedCk ah's bass profound
Goes dewn 50 low il jars the ground,
And wakes the echoes miles around,
Like distant rolling thunder,
Talk not to us of PATHS fame,
Or Nicolini's tenor tame,
OR Cary's altO-hat IA name
Or Whitney's ponderOus bassOl
They sing no more like Jane Sophia,
And Ann Maria, Obadiah,
