"A full Democratic vote in this State will
unquestionably be Democratic victory
The very best work to be done between
this and election is the work which will get
out the Democratic voters. The Democrat
who, IN this county, town or neighborhood,
will bend his energies to getting out the vote
will do the cause more service than the
ablest orators and best writer's. Never we're
the earnest labors of every patriot required
as now. Let the friends of good govern
ment triumph here as they have in Penn
sylvania and Ohio, as they will in New
York, and our danger is at an end. There

" The Radicals expended this sum on the
army last year. 1t was more than two
hundred millions of dollars IN excess of
what they should have expended But
most of this money went into their Freed
mems Bureau and other Radical election
eering machines The annual payment of
this enormous sum to the extinguishment
Of the National debt, adding to the pay
ment the amount of reduced interest every
year, would pay off the debt in ten years,
and establish a specie currency in four
years. ."-Ecchange.


These Radicals, in order to maintain their
party ascendency, would continue to add,
annually, three or four hundred millions Of
dollars to the present National indebted
ness, to be represented by bonds exempt
from taxation, and while such bonds would
bring only 60 cents on the dollar, in gold,
they would have them reduced in gold at
their nominal value for the benefit of capi-
talists, and to protect the National honor,
and all at the expense of the laboring in
dustrial masses! Those who would keep
up this standing army in time of peace,
at the annual cost of $2S4,OOO, 900, will
surely vote the Republican ticket.

A miller of Harz on long Summers day,
Fell asleep in the shade of his mill,
And dreamed of sure and speedy way
His coffnrs with riches to fill.
cracking old wheel that his forefathcrs built,
And the force of stream turned around,
For century past had driven the mill,
And the grain for century ground.
But it happened this day that the brook was low,
And the noisy old wheel stood still;
So the miller for lack OF something TO 10,


Fell asleep in the shade OF the mill
AS soon as he woke he at once began


To follow the plan of his dream,
And in spite of all that his friends could say,
He turned the course of the stresm
The Summer had passed. cold Winter was nigh.
Still the miller could grind no corn,
And the neghbors who laughed at mis- useless


work,


He answered with bitter scorn.
The dam was finished, but not that year,
The people had ceas-d to go
To the little mill whose idle wheel


Was buried beneath the snow.
To the miler's joy, the Spring time came,
And the torrents poured into the glen
Filling up to the brim the pond he had made,
And turning the wheel again.
But one night as the villagers safe at home
Heard the sobs of the driving rain,
The dam gave way, and down the stream
Went the miller, the mill and the grain.
How many man in every land


Like the miller, has followed q dream,
And sooner or later, with mill and grain,
Like the miller, gone down the stream.

"Not few Of the republican journals Of

back into the union. We caution all such

new fuel to the flame which is already blaz
ing too fercely; and that the probabilities

false prophets. No man knows what public
policy may demand of the incoming admin
is,ration; but the drift Of opinion seems to
be that, il peaceable secession is possible,
the retiring states will be assisted to go,
that this needless and bitter controversy
may be brought to an end. If the union is
to be dissolved, bloodless separation is by
all means to be coveted. Dou't let US make

Another meeting of the bOndhOlders
Of the seven per cent. Confederate cot
ton loan was held at the London tavern
Admiral Provo Wallace in the chair.
The chairman said the meeting was
called to Eeceive the second report of the
committt, who had obtained the high
est legal opinion to disabuse the bond
holders of the idea that this was not a
legal lJan. Sir Hugh Cairns now Lord
Cairns) had declared that it was a per-
fectly legal loan and at this moment
he believed the south was perfectly will
ling, if it was allowed to do so, to pay
its quota of the claims Of the bondhOld-
ers. He read the second report
of the committee, which gave a de-
tailed account of the measures which
had been taken TO perfect the interests of
the bondhOlders. 1t expressed the opin-
ion that, if Americans might be Judged
by those with whom the committee had
been brought into contact, the day was
not far distant when a settlement of the
claims of the bOndhOlders would be eff
fected. The committee had submitted
to her majesty's government a memorial
drawn up by an eminent American states
man, whose knowledge Of the Ameri-
can law and the law of nations had been
Invaluable to them, and had enabled
them TO lay strong case before the
government. In answer to a question,
the chairman said the memorial had
been presented to the government, who
replied that the claims Of the bOndhOld-
ers might be referred to the same tribu-
nal as the Alabama claims. On the mo-
ton of Mr.. Harris, seconded by Mr..
King, the report was received and
adopted. The following resolutions were
then passed: That, as legal proceedings
have been taken by the govern ,nent of
the United States to recover in English
and French law courts property and
money belonging to the late Con-
federate States, it is Of the utmost
Importance that notice of counter claims
should be Immediately given on behalf
Of the seven rer cent. cotton bOndhold-
ers; that the bOndholders' committee be
furnished with the requisite funds to ena-
bic them TO take legal proceedings as
counsel may advise; and that no bonds
be dealt in by the stock exchange unless
stamped by the committee of the Con-
federate bondholders as having paid lie
per cent. to enable the committee to
carry this resolution into effect" tTbat
as the holders of the seven per cent.
cotton loan have committed no breach Of
international law by making advances
to the southern states on the hypotheca-
ton Of cotton, and the loan to
the said states being a perfectly
legal transaction, the bOndholders
hereby most solemnly protest against
the injustice and iliegality of the United
States congress and the legislatures of
the southern states passing any law to
prejudice their rights and the contract
made with such states, and that any such
proceeding will be direct violation of
the law of nations, and fatal to the honor
and financial credit of both the United
States and southern states.n A gentle

they had received the confirmation of

Iron ORE,-Mr. VIM. Phillips, of the Walla

of observation in the ''web> fhot" country" and
among the curiosites, brings with him spsci>
linens of iron ore, taken from the 0swego lead
and which is used by the 0swego Company in
the manufacture of iron. The ore is remarkably
rich in iron, and bss been found to work to
great advantage. The 'pigs" as turned out at
the works are ft without further preparation to
be used in the making of castings. The foun.
deries in San Francisco already use this iron al
most to the exclusion of Eastern iron, and find
it to answer their purpose admirably. Those
who are curious in such matters, are invited to
call at this Office and examine the ore. 1t may
turn out that they know of similar rock in this
section of country, with the nature of which they
are unacquaiuted. Mr.. P. also brought with
him specimens of the limestone taken from
Swan Island, which most persons would take
for ordinary gray granite. This stone, on burn
ing, is found to yield excellent lime, and is used
at the Oswego Works in the manufacture Of iron

The last time I was in the city
of Lowell. there were fourteen
thousand more females than males
in one city. This is many years
ago. They live and diein single
state, and are forgotten. Have
they filed the measure Of their
creation: and accomplished the
designs of heaven in bringing them
upon the earth? No they have
mot. Two thousand good: God
fearing mon should go there and
take to themselves seven wives


apiece. It IS written in the Bible.


and in that day seven women
shall take hold CT one m&n: saying


We will eat Our bread: and wear
Our own apparel: only let is be
called by thy name: to take away


our reproach.' The Government
Of the United States do not intend


that that prophecy shall Be fulfill
ed, and the Lord Almighty means
that it shall. DO you not think
that the Lord will conquer ? :
think he will, and we are helping
him. It is the decree OF the Al
mighty that in the last days seven
women shall take hold Of one man,
&c.. to be counseled and advised by


him, being willing to spin her own
wool. make her own clothing and
do everything they can 10 earn
their own living. il they can bear
his name to take away their re-
Droach. What is this order for?
1t is for the resurrection it is not
for this world: I would not 60
cross this bowcry for polygamy,
if it only pcrtaincd to this world.
1t is for the resurrection, and the
spirit Of the Lord has come upon
the people. and upon the ladies
especially to prepare the way for
the ftlltiIlmcnt Of his word: The
female sex have been deceived, so
long, that a spirit has come upon
them: and they want = place, and
a name, and head, tor the man is
the head Of the woman: 10 lead
her into the celestial kingdom Of
