The ''slickest' free advertising device
that We have seen for a long time, was
contained in printed slip, recently sent
to the newspaper press, with the specious
caption of-''Rules for making Ciilt-edged
Bitter Nearly all the newspapers, great
and small, that give attention to farming
operations in their columns, swallowed this
gildcd bait without discovering the brrbed
hook. These "rules" purported to have
been recently published in the Rural Nel0
Torkr and may have been so Published
for aught that we know to the contrary
We read them over, carefully, and could
discover nothing in them Of special inter
est 10 the dairyman. But the milk in the
cocoanut was the advertisement, very mod
estly inserted about the middle Of the slip,
of coloring matter for butter made by a
Vermont firm. This firm has had its pc
culiar product moro extensively advertised,
free Of cost, than any other article of mer.
chandise perhaps in the country. Our
brethren of the rural press, with very
few exceptions, went into the net of this
cunning Green Mountain Yankee, like SO
many gudgeons.

A CRUEL HoAx.-With brazen and IN
blushing reeklessncss of truth it has been
asserted by prominent republican journals
that the hegira Of negroes from Mississip-
pi and Louisiana into Kansas, is the result
Of democratic persecution in those States.
The truth Of the matter is, that the poor
negroes have been made the dupes Of
knayes who have led them TO believe that
they were to have their expenses paid from
St. Louis to Kansas by the government,
and when they arrived in Kansas they
we're to receive forty acses Of land and
were to be provided with all the necessary
agricultural and mechanical implements.
Under THE delusioa they have aocked to
St. Louis by the Hundreds and have found
themselves penuiless and unable to pro-
coed further on their journey.

Nc Timid Half- WAY Measures.

Blessed are they who expect nothing,

Of the bcatitudes not included 10 the ora
eles, but true enough to challenge our
respect We had hoped that when a
democratic congress should be organized,
that it would purge the federal statue-books
of all the obnoxious laws engrafted upon
them by the malignanee Of party. But,
it appears that such is not to be the case,
The supervisors Of elections are to be re-
taiued, as we learn from Washington, but
the statute is to be SO modified that there
is to be one Of each party at the polls
merely as witnesses to see that there is
fair election 1t is fair 10 conclude that
this much has been yielded by the demo
Gratis to republican clamor and threats Of
the presidential veto, for surely it rests
upon no basis Of right, justice or propriety
whatever. The provision for supervisors
and deputy marshals is unconstitutional
and an Infringement of State rights, No
vestige Of it, however modified, ought to
be left upon the statute-books, II is not
only unconstitutional, but it is unaeeessa-
ny. 1t is the duty of the States to con-
duct the elections, and that duty is faith.
fully performed by sworn judges of cleo
ton at every voting-placc. What necessi.
ty, then, for the presence of federal super
yisors None whatever. 1t is not only
unconstitutional and unnecessary, but ex-
pensiye, increasing the already vast swarm
Of federal officials who are eating out the
substance Of the people. The democrats
have claimed to be economists, desiring to
curtail all unnecessary expenditures Of the
government Here is leak in the treas
ury which every consideration requires to
be stopped aud yet they fail Of their duty
and disappoint the expectation of the peo-
pie who elected them, in this respect. The
cutlery of blatant republicanism with its
clamor about revolution" aud the presi-
dental veto, has been too much for them
The joint caucus has determined to do,
only ia part, what it should have done
wholly aud thoroughly, without hesitation
This timid, hating, hesitating, timc-sery-
ing policy, is the curse Of the democratic
party. Unless they get rid of it, they will
accomplish but little for the good of the
country by the correction Of republican
abuses, and viii deserve only eensure
where it is in their power to win the high
est acclaim. The ballot should be free
IL is the foundation stone Of republican
institutions. The attempt to throw OBJ.
struetions around it is an insult to every
citizen and an outrage upon the sovereign

The talk about compromise" is idle.
All such efforts but strengthen the pur-
pose Of the republicans to resist repeal
