THE PARTY OF DECEPTION AND
FRAUD.

FRAUD.
The Republican party Of Indiana, like
the same party in Ohio and elsewhere,
secured power iu that state by fraud and
deception. With louu and long proies
sions OF virtue and honest intentions
they secured, aud after getting power
thereby, disregarded every promise made
and soon showed their Unsuitable greed
and hollow professions.
Knavery'a plain face Is never seen till used.
Their lavish promises before election
are broken without shame, and repeated
next time with the usual effrontery. They
put on airs of niorality, religion and vir.
tue, and the history of the party in it's
riotous power, demonstrates the fraud
and sham it is, thing Of lies, deceit
and hypocrisy. The character and his
tory Of a political party is made by the
leaders Of the party, while the rank and
file are but the deceived dupes aud in.
nocent victims.
The following article, from the Iadian.
apolis Sentinel, shows the unfullilled
pledges of the party in that state. In
Indiana, as in Ohio, the Republican lead.
ers went about proclaiming their super
ior morality, temperance, &c. There, as
here, they got the temperance vote; and
there, as here, they act with their usual
treachery. The Sentinel says:
"During the late campaign in Indiana
the Republican bosses, as is their Gus
tom, claimed to belong to the God and
morality party The party pledged by
platfor Ii and plank, by resolution and
profession, confession, baptism, sanity
walk and conversation, ambitions and
aspirations, to lead on the embattled
hosts of temperance and religion to tri-
umph. These Republican bosses made
the temperance people of Indiana be
lieve tina to put the Republican party in
power would be to inaugurste q new era
of temperance-when grog shops should
disappear, and jails and penitentiaries
be depopulated. Glorious reforms we're
to follow each other in quick succession.
~ 4 We are the champions, said
these Republican bosses, of God, instead
of greed; of morality instead of NAM
mon; Of religion instead Of riot. We de.
plore depravity, said the Republican
bosses. Il Il This was enough. The
temperance people heard and believed;
and they now find themselves cheated,
deceived and imposed upon by these Re-
publican bosses, who have broken their
pledges. By the dupliCity Of the Repub
liCan bosses, the Republican party OBJ
tanned control of the Legislature, and the
temperance people now ask these lead
ers to fulfill their pledges, and enact
stringent temperance law. They refuse
to respond-they are unworthy of conf.
dence, and deserve only the severest
reprobation." ...
The foregoing will apply equally we'll
to Ohio. Similar promises were made,
and the sweet party Of good promises
disregards them all when installed in
power, developing then the usual hy-
pocrisy and deceit. Broken pledges, vi.
olated faith, make no the Republican |
record. When will the people, one and
all, fully understand and remember the
party of fraud and lying promises2

Great was the display, military and
otherwise, at the Inauguration. Vast
bodies Of armed soldiers were marching
the streets Of Washington all day. The
procession was miles in length. This oc.
casion was different from eighty years
before. when Jefferson rode into the cap
tol grounds, hitched his horse to tree,
and walked unattended to the place
where the oath was administered. The
centralizing and aristocratic tendencies
of the radical party are manifest.

The Republican party of the United
States should take the name Federal
party, or Tory party; either Federal or
Tory would better express their princi.
pies. They believe National debt is a
national blessing; that government
should take care of the rich, and the
rich, or old scratch should take care of
those who labor. Like the British Tors
les, they believe in National banks and
privileged classes, calling it protection.

moneyed power. In fact it is the party
of the moneyed aristocracy-while the

How COFFEE CAME TO BE UsED.-lt
is somewhat singular to trace the man
ner in which arose the use of the COM
mon beverage of coffee. without which
few persons in any half or wholly civil
lied country in the world now make
breakfast. At the time Columbus dis
covered America, it had never been
known or used. 1t only grew in Arabia
and upper Ethiopia. The discovery of
its use as beverage is ascribed to the
Superior of a monastery in Arabia, who.
desirous of preventing the monks from
sleeping at their nocturnal services,
made them drink the infusion Of coffee,
upon the reports of the shepherds that
their focks were more lively after brows-
ing on the fruit of that plant. Its rep
utation spread through the adjacent
countries. aud in about two hundred
years it had reached Paris. A single
plant, brought there in l714, became
the parent stock of all the French coffee
plantations in the West Indies. The
Dutch introduced it into Java, the East
Indies. and the French and Spanish all
over South America aud the West Indies.

YEARS.

All. there he is, lad. at the plough;
He beats the boys for work.
And whatsoever the task might be,
None ever saw him shirk.
And he can laugh, too, till his eyes
Run oer with mirthful tears,
And sing full many an old-time song
In spite of seventy years.
"Good morning. friends It's twelve O'Clock;
Time for halfhour's rest"
The farmer John took out his lunch
And ate it with zest
ga harder task it is" he said,
''Than following up these steers
Or mending fences, far, for me
To feel my seventy years.
"You ask me why feel so young;
I'm sure, friends, can't tell,
But think it is my good wife's fault
Who's kept me up so we'll;
For women such as she are scarce
In this poor vale of tears;
She's given me love and hope and strength
For more than forty years.
"And then, my boys have all done we'll,
AS far as they have gone,
And that thing warns an old mans blood,
And helps him up and on.
My girls have never caused pang,
Or raised up anxious fears;
Then wonder not that feel young
And hale at seventy years.
'Why don't my good boys do my work
And let me sit and rest?
All friends, that wouldn't do for me;

They have their duty; have mine;
And till the end appears.
