| Notwithstanding the vast stretch and COM
pass of the work of the redemption, it is a
work Of the most humble detail in its style OF
execution. The Savior could have preached
sermon on the mount every morning. Each
night he could have stilled the sea, before his
astonished disciples, and shown the conscious
waves lulling into peace under his feet. He
could have transfgured himself before PLATE
and the astonished multtudes Of the temple.
He could have made visible ascensions in the
noon Of every day, and revealed his form,
standing in the sun, like the angel of the
Apocalypse. But this was not his mind.
The incidents of which his work is principally
made up, are, humanely speaking, very hum

past r in the world was never able. in any
degree, to approach the Savior, in the love-

There never was time perhaps, in the
history of our State or County, when SO
much responsibility rested upon the exercise
of the elective franchise as at the coming Oc-
tober election. This responsibility is shared
by both the Republican and Democratic par
ties, and it should be a question of grave
consideration for every member of either
party, before he casts his vote, how far that
vote may effect the interests, not only of our
County and State, but of the Nation. The
Gate City. Keokuk, puts the case in strong
and forcible light, as follows rrr-


"a single vote in this county or some sther
county in the State may elect single men,
ber of the Legislature, whose single vote may
decide the political character Of that branch
of the Legislature, and thereby decide who
shall be United States Senator for six years.
And that United States Senator may in
course decide during the next Presidential
term the political character of the United
States Senate by his VOTE And if such a
series of events should occur,f Pit is evident that
a single vote might not only decide the des-
tiny of the Republican party, but might even
seal the fate of the country. ..Ll..


We hold that there is sufficient proba-
bilty of one or all these events involved in
the coming election to demand of every pa
triot ard honest man careful consideration
the responsibility which rests upon him,
not only for his exertions and influence, but
for the casting of his single vote on. the day
of election. No more indifference, no old
time prejudice nor personal dislike will avail
before the bar of conscience or the bar of God
as justification ofa vote cast, or vote with
held, where ultimate consequences so numer-
Gus depend on the issue Of the election"


We commend the above to the candid
consideration, especially of the Republicans
of this County. With harmony in your
ranks you have the power to secure proper
expression of your views in the Legislature
next winter. Bot if, because you have not
secured the candidate you could have desir-
ed, OF because they are not the best perhaps
that might have been nominated, you per-
NIT your votes to remain at home or to be
diverted to third party, you stand chance
of having representative that will report
the very opposition Of your views by their
votes and acts, and work irreparable injury
to your party. It's for you to decide, wheth-
err you will permit this, or choose the lesser
evil of having your Die,cs, if not so ably as
YOU could desire yet correctly and consci-
entiously represented. The case needs no
labored argument to make it comprehensive


And the responsibility involved. commends
it to the careful consideration of conscientious
voters. Washington Towa) Press.

 Gts~ The Fort Smith Herald says that we were in the habit of abusing democrats, and intimates that being a whig it made it become second nature to us. We have this to say in reply: When the junior here belonged to the whig party, he never abused any body, as that is weapon he leaves to others to handle. But had he been 50 dis posed, MT. Duval and his set at Fort Smith, woull have been the last persons in the world he would have selected as democrats The whigs knew who were their friends and in days gone by received the same aid and comfort from pretended democrats, that the opposition now receive. The game is more transparent than these men suppose. On all questions, the Herald and its controller, when they had the nerve to take position, invariably took it against the democratic administration, and then, to cover their sins believed " democracy" loudly. There is great deal of pharaseeism in politics, and they are living evidences of it. However, we will not say what we might, for it would savor of ingratitude, inasmuch as we have a lively remembrance of how earnestly these men used to work with the whigs in order to defeat the democracy of years ago. The difference was, that the whigs stood in front and gave fair fight, while these traitors within were careful to fire off guns with no balls in them, and stood ready to throw open the gates to the beseigers
