routine in the Senate this morning the mo-
ton to refer the Presidents message was
taken up and Mr.. voorhees, addressed the
Senate, reading bis speec. from manuscript.
After speaking OF the sure victory for the
Democratic party next fall, MIR. VOORHEES,
said that an extensive discussion of the tariff
in the Senate and House left no doubt as to
the attitude of the Republican party on that
question, and it had, at least. been forced 10
throw away masks and false faces and to
admit that taxation was not to stop at the
revenue line OF the government but was to
be turned loose without limit and without
shame, on the labor of the people, for the
sole purpose of enrich;ng favored few, q
syndicate of devourng, insatiate monop-
olis;s.
Referring to the attack made in the Senate
upon the memory of Mcclellan and Hancock
he said there were suggestions. inspired by
the wanton and astounding assault of the
Senator from Kansas. which wouid not
speedily pass from the public mind. He
drew vivid picture OF the war and. after
citing history, spoke of Gettysburg, where,
| he said, the lasi hope Of the Southern Con-
i fetieracy disappeared forever. What invisi-
/ evil to the Senator from Kansas. could have
been in attendance on him when he stood
up and opened his mouth in the Senate

the " campaign of political animosity and

the Democracy, with the nomination, the
latter merely feicitating itself on a narrow
escape from Phelps. There is a very little
doubt that it viii be confirmed Senator

"THE FIELD IS OURS. We LEFT

TORY w
Such are the words of trimph her
aided through the land, from center to
circumference, after the deadly con-
fict. And what does such triumph
imply? A fearful calamity to many
communities. 1t implies mourning,
sadness and grief, vacant places, the
stay and staff ruthlessly removed.
Widows and fatherless children are
made in q moment. The pail of
is spread over many commu-
mites, and grief, if not despair, enters
thousands of households. Life plans
are frustrated, fondly cherished hopes
are scattered, and often want and suf-
fering must result, and many families,
once independent, become objects of
charity.
And what have we in return for the
ten thousand lives lost OH single side,
for the larger number still, of those
MANNED and crippled for life ? What
for the millions on millions wasted,
the thousands Of producers slain, both
parties impoverished? Why an in
suit, supposed or real, has been pun
ished and the honor of the county vim
dicatsd {? A little sweet revenge has
been secured and a temporary decision
in reference to the comparative power
of the two nations obtained.

John Ouicy Adams on Peace.

John Quincy Adams was one of the
wisest and best, if not the very wisest
and best of all the Presidents of the
United States, from George Washing
ton to Grover Cleveland. These, his
words, are worthy of being written in
letters of gold in q conspicuous place
in the Presidents house, and in the
Senate chamber, and in the hall of the
House of Representatives at Washing
ton, and in every State House in the
United States, in every church build
ing, in every EDITORS room, and in
every dwelling house in our great re-
public, and In all Christian lands. Let
every person read these beautiful
words Of the noblest patriotism, of the
sublimest philanthropy, and truly
agreeable to the teachings of Jesus
Crhist, the Prince of Peace. J.H.
Universal and permanent peace be-
longs to the laws of nature and of ma
ture's God, to the genius and vital
spirit of Christianity, to the liberty,
justice, and prosperity of nations, in;
dispensable to the true interests OF all
mankind, and claiming the prayers
and united efforts of the human race"

Did she love him we'll enough to live
in cottage with him? Was she a
good cook? Did she think it a wife's
duty to make home happy? Would
she consult his taste and wishes con-
cerning her associates and pursuits in
life? Was she economical? Could
she make her own clothes? etc. The
young lady said that before she an

possessed. She never drank, smoked
