great principles, we find him after
the long and bloody warfare was
over ceding nothing; the combined
powers were unable to wrest bis
iron grasp from Silesia. Look ar

man; they have depopulated cities,
DESTROYED fertile fields and have
caused notions to quail and tremble
at their power, becoming more for

the very windows were opened,
the rains descend in torrents, swell

creeks to rushing floods, sweeping
in their mad career to destruction,
towns villages and cities. And
since we find that nations, churches,
the heavens, and even the worms
that are crushed beneath our feet.

is it that he who cultivateS the soil,
he who is the benefactor of his race

does not give his time and his brain

divine approval, has made honor

as an agricultural people let US

say to the world, you shall respect
us or we will make you feel our

the doctors, railroad, steamship and
