From the annual report of the consul
general established at Rio de JaneirO
some important facts are revealed in
regard to trade in Brazil, which may
be seryiccable for merchants to under
stand. As Brazil is a tropical country,
ana the grains of our northern and west
ern states are not grown there, the I'M
plements used iii reaping, etc, are not
in demand; and as a winterless country
is not hay producing, raowing-machines,
scythes, and the like, are not much
wanted. There is little demand for
wagons or carriages. All houses in
BraziI are rooted with porous earthen
tiles the only suitable roofing for that
climate. For this reason roofing paint
and patent roofing ma erials of various
kinds can no. be sold there. Metal
shingles and corrugated iron are only
used for roofing very large buildings
that are open at the sides, such as ship
houses, etc. For ordinary houses, such
a roof would convert the dwelling into
an oven.

HAIL 10 THE CHlEFI

General GABFGELD's trip from his home
to New York city during the past few days
has been a perfect ovation. The people
surrounded every depot at which his cor
tege stopped in masses to do him honor.
AT Erie, Pa, an immense crowd paid their
respects to him with the most enthusiastic
demonstrations. So, ALSO at DunkirB, n.
Y, where the New York delegation met
him. The population of the surrounding
country gathered at the depot and
hailed him with a fervor of enthusi-
asm ~seldom seen upon any occasion.
At Buffalo his reception was hearty
beyond measure. Tho whole town turned
out to do him honor, and the streets were
ablaze with torches and the air vocal with
welcoming cheers. So, also, as he passed on
through the centre of the empire state he
had continuous triumph OF four hundred
miles. He passed through Gordon OF
populous cities and towns that dot the
route from Lake Erie to the city of his des-
tinaton, aud everywhere and at all points
the rallying of the people was eminently
demonstrative of the enthusiasm which
Inspires the popular heart even at this early
stage Of his campaign.
We regard this remarkable demonstration
of popular favor rs eminently indicative of
the temper Of the people at this time. 1t
bespeaks life and energy for the canvass
which is not only irrepressib lie, but irwin.
chile At no period since the war have the
people been so awakened to a sense of duty
as at this time. The advance of the rebel
element toward the national capital with q
union general at their head has aroused the
dormant feelings of patriotism and awak-
ened the masses of the people to newness
of life which foretells certain victory. The
public mind is aroused to q sense of danger
which leads to vigilance, and that will lead
on to those agencies that ever bring success
not been so touched with fervent fire and
zeal for years, and when the republican
heart of the empire state beats responsively
and with lively action to the call of patriot
ism, il moves on to victory with resistlcss
power. The dread of the advancing briga-
diers, though covered by a union soldier,
has sounded the alarm throughout the
north, and the fires of 1861 are relighted on
every hilltop and in every valley, sum
moning the Boys in Blue to action and,
what is more, they respond with alacrity,
and with them come the loyal men who
sustained the union soldiers with their
prayers and their means, if not with arms
and life 1t is a revival of the war spirit
and the battle will be fought ON the line OF
the rebellion which divides the "solid
south" from the eyer-loyal north. On
this line the battle is to be waged, and, as
in the war to crush rebellion, victory will
perch on the northern banner.

CHOOSE YE BETWEEN THEM.

Within three short months the American
people Willie called upon to choose whether
they will be governed by WINFuLD S.
HANCOCK and the party and principles
which he represents, or by JAMES A. GAR
FIELD and the party and principles which
he represents.
The cardinal points Of difference between
these two candidates, these two parties and
these two sets of principles is what we now
propose briefly to discuss.
First-The candidates personally. Cen
eral HANCOCK, the superb soldier, if
elected, would be as plant tool in
the hands of of JERRY BLACK, RAN
DALI, WALLACE and their disunion
conductors as was Blu CHANAN. HAM
COCK was nomin ated rs sugar-coat-
ing to the democrat ic pill. Well knowing
that the American people would never
trust the destinies of this union in the
hands Of the copperhe ad-confederate party
that fought to destroy it, they put forward
n subordinate union general as a represent
alive democrat A subordinate, who
always used to obeying orders, would not
know what 10 do unless orders were regu-
larry issued from Gramercy park A SOL
dier, who when nominated for the presi-
dency by the great democ ratio party, pro.
ceeded TO Gramercy park to give in his adj
hesion to the cipher-ogre income-tax felon,
who, nprOpria persona, constitu ties that great
political organization And whose "bar'" of
stolen ducats is TO be the most effective
campaign document in the impending dem
ocratie siill hunt for the presidency. HAN

THE UNION LEAGUE OF AMERICA.

The recent meeting ofthe executive COM
mittees of the Union League of America,
in Philadelphia, adopted the following
as their declaration of faith and rule of
action in the discharge of their duties:
The Union League of America again de.
clares its faith and accepts the duties of the
hour.
Resolved, That we believe that the integrity
OF the union, the continued prosperity of the
whole country, the stability Of our monetary
system, and the full enjoyment of all civil,
political and public rights depend upon the
ascendency and peIpetuity of republican ad-
ministration.
We commend the republican party because
1t was the offspring of American ideas and
the growth of conscience.
We commend the republican party because
it decreed universal suffrage and equality be-.
fore the law.
We commend the republican party because
it has impartially executed the laws, reduced
the public dobt, faithfully collected and hon
estly applied tho revenue.
We commend the republican party because
it has sustained the honor and dignity of the
United States among the governments Of the
world
We commend the republican party because
1t IS the only party which Is in favor of edu-
eating the youth ofAmerica in ordert that intel.
| ligence may be the standard Of American cit.
zenship and the bulwark TO q free govern
ment.
We commend the republican party because
| 1t Is the only party now in favor of rewarling
American labor with high wages, comfortable
homes and free schools.
| We entreat the men who saved the union
| by their valor to vote for the candidates OF
the party that equipped and sustained our
armies iu the field until the old flag waved in
triumph over every citadel of treason, and
| since then has been the faithful guardian OF
tho widows and orphans, and the friend OF
| the disabled soldiers and sailors Of the union
armies.

COCKS election would mean another four
years Of BUcHANANs administration.
JAMES A. GARFIELD represents the best
ideas Of the republican party. The party
that raise TO the presidency rail-splitter
in LINCOLN and q tanner in GRANT,
and now proposes to make a president
of the tow-headed canal boy. GAR
FIELD is q noble specimen of the
Ameri canized Anglo.Saxon type. Edu-
Gated through the curriculum of college life,
he has since mastered all the minutie OF
constitutional law, public policy and polit-
ical economy, while all the branches of the
public service are as well known to him as
are the streams and forest paths of his own
quiet sylvan retreat at Mentor Ohio. His
election TO the presidency would mark q
new era ofprogress in the history of the
age.
Second-The twoporties, The democratic
party is composed OF the rank and file of
the rebel army, of the copperhead southern
sympathizers north, who did all in their
power to thwart LTNCoLN's efforts to pre-
serve the union, and Of fraud in the north
and terrorism in the south.
The republican party is composed of tho
Boys in Blue, commanded by General
ULYssEsS. GRANT, of the best classes of
legally natualizcd immigrants who have
come to our shores and las far as the ku
klux and white leaguors will permit of the
freedmen that it delivered from bondage
Third-Tbe principles of the two parties
The democratic party being mainly COM
posed of unprincipled dema gogues and re-
pudiationists, is naturally party without
principle. They have no formulated set of
principles which they desire the American
people to adopt; it is the Offices they are
after, and an appropriation. They operate
mainly by opposing the republican princ-
pies, as announced from time to time, as
long as they dare, and then adopt them in
modified and crippled form at their next
national convention.
The republican party being the glorious
party Of the union, of freedom, of equal
rights, of soft money and protection to
American industry, has set these principles
forth in clear kings English in the Chicago
platform. And it is broad enough and
strong enough to carry GARFIELD safely to
the White House by the vote of every state
north Of MASON and DIXON's line.

FRIEND in tho interior of New York, a re-
publican of marked intelligence and ability,
who has had serious lorobodings as to the event
ofthe campaign during its earlier stages, writes
us now and proclaims his uncouded confidence
that Garfield aud Arthur will be elected. All
the signs in the state Of New York indicate
that it will declare for the republican ticket
by decisive majority.
GEORGE BULLOCK, the prominent manu-.
facturcr and republican of Philadelphia, says
the reason why he shall vote for General Han
cock is because "he promised him several
years since that If ever he was nominated for
president he would vote for him"--only this
and nothing more. Mr.. Bullock says he is q
republican and has no sympathy with the
democratic party, and that his workmon can
vote as they please.

that bo doesn't think the crippled union
soldiers will be bounced out by democratic
administration. al don't speak now by au-
thority," ho takes pains to observe. But ho

dict anything. But 1t isn't safe for union
soldier to bet on it.
