sentation in accordance with the provisions
of that Amendment.


This, therefore, we understand 20 be the
position of the Republican Union party of
our State-that every State lately in rebel
lion which shall, with reasonable prompti-
tude and in hearty good faith, accept and
ratity that Amendment, shall thereupon
be entitled to immediate representation in
Congress in accordance with its provisions
And, as we believe we can do more for the
cause OF Impartial Freedom by acting with
that party than by boltihs from and buttny
against it, We hold ourselves bound to con-
form in our action to its professions and
virtual pledges. IF any of the outlying
States shall, during the lifetime of the
present Congress-, rat,fy the Amendment
as aforesaid, we shall feel bound to advo-
cate the admission thereupon of their loyal
representatives to seats in Congress. AS
to those which shall see fit to stand out
beyond the 4th of March next, we shall
feel at liberty to act according to the cir
cumstanccs then existing, and to the riper
and clearer convictions which we trust the
loyal States and People will meanwhile
have attained


And, whether the rcvolted States shall
be sooner or later restored to their natural
relations to the Union, we hold that the
signal triumph of Freedom over Slavery
In our late struggle requires for its logical
and perfect contamination that all our
States shall yet recognize and cmbody in
their Constitutions the doctrine terscly
expressed by Horace Maynard OF Tennes
see in these words:


"Let our laws and institutions speak not
OF White men, not of Red men, not of
Black men, not of men of any race or
complexion; but, like the laws of God, the
Ten Commandments, and the Lords Pray
er, let them speak of PEOPLE"

ADVANCE IN AGRICULTURE-In an
admirable article on the above subject, the
editor of the American Farmer says that
If We would lay firm basis on which t.
build up wisdom and knowledge in the
minds of our planters, large and small
we must convince them that the course
pursued by our iorcfathers in husbandry
is by no means the best course And he
would convince them first, that in general
Il small farm is better than large one.


Second, convince them that little, well
titled, is better than much half titled
Convince them that two loads of manure
are better than one, and every load, Judi
ciousiy applied, is better than u greenhach
dollar.


Convince them that three good COWS are
better than six poor ones, aud SO ON OF all
other stock. Convince them that two
blades of grass may easily be made to grow
where but one only grew before.


Convince them that experiment is the
mother OF Improvement, and Improvement
the true source of wealty; and lastly, con
vince them of these simple truths, and III
ducc them to practice accordingly, aud
the work is done. You will then bring
mind and body to act in unison. You will
elevate the hushandman to his natural
sphere in the scale of existence. You
will place him on the road to higher EN-
incncc. He will think for himself, he
will be learned. he will be wise, he will be

of the hands of the Executive and

from the President the appointing

A violent type of Brazil fever seems
to have broken out in Wilcox county,

The Wilcox Times says: alt is seri-

citizens of that community to expa-

which no longer offers them the bles-

among this class of people is that OF
a knowledge of the country to which

of going. The fact is too glaring to
admit Of denial, that one-third, perhaps
half, of the people of this section be
long to this class. Several of our

From the Richmond Whig.l


In little friendly correspondence, about
private matters, lately with Mr.. Rives,
expressed my admiration of the late veto of
the President, and asked what he thought of
it. His reply is $50 beautiful and patriotic
that ! think it both due TO him and the
country that it should be made public.


When bad men assail a patriot for per-
forming his duty to his country, and seek to
prejudice the people against him, all good
men should sustain and vindicate him and
the voice Of no one can be more potential
than that of so pure a gentleman and ex-
perienced a statesman as Mr.. Rives.

How many mistaken ideas are there
as to what constitutes a home! Home
is a word of our language sadly mis-
used. 1t is often spoken, but seldom
in its true sense. In its false inter-
nretation it includes every place
where human beings are passing
their lives.


The thatched cottage of the peas
ant; the rough log cabin OF the
pioneer; the house Of poverty with
It's broken window panes, through
which the wintry blasts whistle, the
white walled frame of the farmer;
the capacious brick of the merchant;
the corniced and porticoed mansion
of the millionaire, and the golden
laid palace OF the king, all are class
ed as "hOme." That they are places
where many are passing their lives,
we well know, but how many are
homes in the true sense of that sa-
cred word.


There is wide difference between
"home" and a residence" One
is heaven upon earth, the other


we'll nigh pandemonium. Love
and contentment make home.


These are it's guardian angels. While


they hover around its walls it is a


home in reality as well as in name.


When they take flight there is q sad
change.


In the crowded thoroughfare, in


the country village, by the wayside,


on every hand, a hundred times al
most each day, we hear the express
sion, "Let us 60 home" Alas how

THF HOPE Or MAN-Final success-the
joy of life S ripe harvest-is the goal of
our human hopes. No wise or thoughtful
man will live merely for to-day. The
pilgrim who seeks home is not content
to llnger and loiter for the mere flowers
beside his way. The sower looks onward
to fields white and ready for the sickle.
Wisdom has regard to the grand issue.
The triumph or the pleasure of to day is
transitory. We want hope that does
otu sink with the setting sun. The tue
success in life is that which does not fail
the evening of our days or leave then to
blight or barrenness. We want that shout
of" havest home," that will not die into
silence with the faintnig breath, but make
the passage of the grave whispering GAL
lery where heaven and earth talk together.


We want something that will reach beyond:
timc-beyond the things Of the present
something that will take hold on eternity.
