We have all along urged upon the Repub

drawing their forces from the field, and sup
porting the Douglas ticket. We could not
see why they should profess such an utter
/ detestation of the Administration policy to-
wards Kansas and so thorough an approval
of the course Of the Anti -Lecompton Democ-
racy in regard to the same question, and yet
go deliberately to work to ensure the tri-
umph Of the Administration party in this
State.


We are glad to see that the candidates, at
least, on the Republican State ticket are be-
coming awake to the extreme folly of throw.
ing the political power Of the State into the
hands Of the Leeompton party. Mr. Muir

the Douglas candidate, O'Meara, for the
same office, and we have now the withdrawal
of Mr.. Sibley, the Republican candidate for
Congress. in favor of J. c. McKibbin. The
withdrawal of other Republican candidates
may also be very confidently expected and
the signs of the times indicate sweeping
triumph for the entire Anti-Lecompton Dem
ocradc State ticket


Already do the poor Lecomptonites begin
to grow pale Already do they set up their
doeful howl about "flsion," fusion" where
there is no "fnsion," but universal uprising
of the people, in the majesty of their strength
against the misrule of a corrupt Administra-
tion, and a spontaneous outburst of consum-
ing wrath against the syehophants of power
who would crush out the liberties of the
country, while they liked the dust at the feet
of the hasest traitor to free government
that ever tainted the political atmosphere
with his presence. Verify, the doom of this
party is sealed, and they know it.

In the Democrat Of this morning will be
found a card from Judge Singer, in reply to
certain charges made against him in the
columns of yesterdays Express. We regard
Judge Singers card as a manly and straight
forward document. The opposition, seeing
defeat staring them in the face, have in their
weakness, permitted statements to be made
in their organ which are the offspring of
frenzied personal hatred The friends of de-
cency and respectability will despise this
dastardly attempt to blaeken personal char
acter on the eve Of an exciting election.
Why have these charges slumbered for six
years, and Judge Singer resident here all
of the time, and in office some Of the time ?
Why were not these charges paraded last
Spring, when every sinew was strained by
the Lecompton party of The State to defeat
Judge Singer for the Mayoralty? Let the
voters of this county respond at the ballot
box We believe the time has gone by when
such electioneering tricks can succeed We
have all known Judge Singer long and well
both as an exemplary citizen and an upright
Judge, and now, three dtys before election, ",
learn from men who have long resided near
us, that he is a bad man. The shameful
course of the opposition carries its own anti
dote. We hive said enough.

The support on which l rely will

those who control Earty organizations share
that feeling, am happy to find assurance
everywhere among the masses of the people

BEES DIVIDING SwARMs.--Those who use
the Longstroth hive will now begin TO di-
Vlde thelr swarms, instead of waiting for
the natura swarming, and thus save tine
ana labor. By the use of movable comb
frames II become very easy to divide n
.sWong swarm, and the time in which il
may be performed is short, say fifteen min
utes an expert will do it in less. When
the 0ee-keepe can remove bis swarms to n
distance, say two or three miles, the oper-
alton can be performed much more salts,
lactorily; but it can be done woll even in
city lot, with the distance of removal re.
duced to rods. Some apiarians, in diyid-
ing, remove both new and old hives con,
siderable distance from the old seat while
others place the new hive on the
ON the exact spot where the old one stood,
ana thus all the bees that return TO the
old stand enter the new hive; the old hive.
in the meantime being removed to a
greater or less distance. In our practice
we remove every frame with the comb,
from the old hive removing the mass ofbees
from II, and letting them return to the
old hive, and then placing it in the new
hive, with an empty frame between each,
one OF these empty ones being placed at
each side, The same order is adopted in
the old hive. One advantage fthis is that
the bees are compelled to build their
combs straight on the frame, and are thus
more easily eXamened and divided, in fu,
ture. After the frames are all properly
placed, the old hive is removed, and with
it the larger number of bees to the new
stand, and the new hive is then placed
in the old position. The Job eel of retain
ing the most of the bees with the queen,
IN the old hive, is evident to every apiur~
ian, for nearly all who fly out that will re.
turn to the old stand.

1t seems that our venerable Secretary Of
State has seen reason to remodel his opinion,
given on the 18th Of May, in reference to
protection of naturslized citizens who may be
impressed into military service in their native
land. In dispatch from Washington of the
18th it is stated that, according to dispatch
from the State Department, recently sent to
our Minister at Berlin or the subject of natu-
ralization, Mr. Cass now takes the ground
that the moment foreigner becomes natural
lied, his allegiance to his native country is
severed he is no more responsible for any
thing he may say or do, or omit to say or do,
after assuming his new character, than il he
had been born in the United States. Should
he return to his native country, he returns as
an american citizen, and no other character.
In order to entitle his original government to
punish him for an offence, this must have
been committed while he was a subject and
owed allegiance to that Government. The
offence must have been complete before his
expatriation. 1t must have been of such q
character that he might have been tried and
punished for it the moment of his departure.
Our Minister is instructed to demand the
release of the naturalized citizen concerning
whom the instructions were given. 1t is
understood that the President and Cabinet
influenced Gen. Cass to back down in this
graceful manner. 1t will be remembered that
in his LIE Clerc letter he distinctly declared
that naturalization in this country will not
exempt foreigner from claim to military
services by his native land, should ho volun.

took the balloon into this current, and sailed

guilty, and sentenced to be hung. An appeal
was taken to the Court of last resort from the
judgment, on the ground that one Martin, a
native Of Turkey, and q Mahometan, was al


lowed to testify against the prisoner. The
error, for such il was claimed to be, was dis
posed of by the Supreme Court affirming the
judgment Of the District Court, and holding
that the statute which precludes negroes and
Indians from testifying either for or against
white persons, does not necessarily depend


upon the indecision Of color, except when the
color is 80 decided as to leave no doubt as to
what race the witness belongs. In this case

have been led to the conclusion, that
among all, those of glass only are val
liable; and that the glass bottle with a
large mouth, possesses the following
advantages: s


"Being glass it will not corrode, or
poison the fruit: it is transparent, and
the condition of the fruit can be seen
at any time: it can be more easily
sealed and opened than any other in
use: the shape of the neck is such that
the fruit comes out readily, and of such
length that the contraction of the fruit
in the bottle by cooling will not bring
it below the neck, so that if there be a
slight mould on the surface as there
will be sometimes, it can be removed
with very little inconvenience from so
small surface and with very little loss;
while the most important feature of the
bottle is, that it has a jog in the neck
which prevents the cork from being
pressed in by atmospheric pressure
while the fruit contructs by cooling.


"With view to obviate the defects
and objections which are manifest in
the cans heretofore in use, and to fur
nish an article at price below the cost
of tin or any other material fit for use,
| was led to Introduce this bottle last
year as the Yeonadns Fruit Bottle, and
the experience of thousands who have
used it the past year will award it the
merits above named.

She comes with fairy footsteps;
Softly their echoes fall,
And her shadow plays like a summer shade
Across the garden wall.
The golden light is dancing bright,
Mid the mazes of her hair,
And her fair young locks are waving free
To the wooing of the air.
Like a sportful fawn she boundeth
So gleefully along,
As wild bird she caroleth


The burden of a song.
The summer flowers are clustering thick
Around her dancing feet,
And on her cheek the summer breeze
Is breathing soft and sweet
The very sunbeams seem to linger
Above that holy head,
And the wild flowers at her coming
Their richest fragrance shed.
And oh. how lovely light and fragrance
Mingle in the light withiul
Oh how fondly do they nestle


Round the soul that knows no sin!
She comes, the spirit Of our childhood
A thing of mortal birth,
Yet bearing still the breath of heaven,
To redeem her from the earth.
She comes in bright-robed innocence,
Unsoiled by spot or blight,
And passeth by our wayward path,
A gleam of angel light.
Oh blessed things are children.
The gifts of heavenly love;
They stand betwixt our world-hearts
And better things above,
They link us with the spirit-world
BY purity and TRUTH
And keep our hearts still fresh and young
With the presence of their youth.

whose spirits were light as the most

cheer-no more will JOY and gladness
spring up in the hearts of those who
wont to be relieved from the benevo-

has looked his last on field and flower
spoken the last kind word and given
the last kiss of affection. The flowers
of spring will bloom and wither upon
his grave-the birds will sing above
his resting place, and the merry voices
of children will float upon the air-but
the sleeper will not awake till the sound
of the archangel's trumpet shall call
the dead to life. May we learn use-
tul lesson from the sudden departure of
one who so recently was engaged in
the active scenes of life. May we SO

for that better world where the weary
are forever at rest.
