wished I'd taken his five-dollars,
'twould have made things1 seem
more uniform, and its purposes more
clearly understood. Slavery was
then its food and drink, its life. The
body politic was infused with the
deadly virus of slavery. The Dem
ocratic party then struggled hard to
wipe out constitutional liberty in
this nation in the name of the con
stitution. Iu the name of the
Savior of mankind, it endeavored
to forge newer chains of oppression
with which to weigh down the
weak and the poor. In the view of
the southern Democracy, which
gave platforms to the party, and
ruled the nation, a poor white man
was a criminal, "white trash,"
while the negro was a mere chattel,
on a par with beasts of burden.
Thus it endeavored to crush out the
semblance of humanity from souls
bearing the impress of God's impar
tial finger. Then arose the Repub
lican party. It resisted this power.
Its ideas were based upon moral
convictions. Under the leadership
of Fremont, it failed; but did not
despair. Persecuted, mobbed and
driven from the South, subjected to
the severest abuse and odium in the
North, it continued its struggle, un
til, under the leadership of Lincoln,
it gained a most signal triumph
The Democratic slave power then
demanded, under the most terrible
threats, that the chains of oppres
sion should be more effectuallyplaced
on the limbs of the colored man.
They contended that slavery by right
of the Constitution was admissable
into every foot of territory in the
United States. The Republican
party, disclaiming any right or in
tention of interferring with the in
stitution where it then existed, es
teeming it a local institution, main
tained that Congress had control of
the Territories, and could legislate
it out of them, if so inclined ; that
the founders of the Constitution
never intended its extension, believ
ing it a great evil, which would
ultimately become extinct. These
just and human, principles made it
possible for the slave to become a
free man. Rather than submit to
an Administration based upon these
views, the Democratic party of the
South determined to ruin the union
of States which their policy could
no longer rule. The principle that
a majority should rule, was no
longer an accepted plank in the
Democratic platform ; and ignoring,
and spurning beneath their unhal
lowed feet every right of the major
ity, and Constitutional obligation to
maintain intact the integrity of the
States ; against individual oaths,
and solemn obligations, they threw
down the gauntlet of war with all
of its terrible consequences of blood,
treasure and tears, at the feet of the
General Government. The Repub
lican party, headed by Abraham
Lincolndetermined that Constitu
tional liberty, and human freedom,
which were involved in the union
of States, should not die on this
continent without a struorarle. -Thi

Some men are always finding
fault with the dress of the ladies.
They never see any imperfection,
or fault with their own garments,
of whiskerendoes generally, but
bug out their "critic's eye," and
throw up their horrified hands, and
swell out their pudding bags with
windy gas and gabble whenever a
woman sees proper to change the
style of her wearing apparel. Her
bonnet is an "alxmiinable contri
vance;" her chiijnon is a "cum
berous monstrosity ; " 1 icr dress "dis
gustingly low," or "prudishly high"
in the neck ; her shoes are like
"machines with toes like bird's
bills ;" the heels are 'too high and
far under the instep ; and some of
the old gander grumblers, who are
extremely wise in their own estima
tion, no doubt thinking that wisdom
will suffer a lapse after their demise,
prophesy an extensive harvest of
bunions, callosities, corns and en
larged joints as the result of wear
ing these shoes just as if the ladies
hadn't as good a right to a crop of
them, as the men have, who wear
the same style of heel on their boots.
These chronic fault-finders, going
about with heads stuck out turtle-
fashion, and eyes skinned to the
bone for the purpose of detecting
something in the apparel of the la
dies with which to occupy their gan
der quills, had better give their own
apparel and bodies and brains,
too, for they will bear .scrutiny
a thorough red-eyed scanning. Look
at those tight pants conforming to
the angularities of those longevic
soup bones. Examine that bob-
tailed coat exposing a famine of fat
ness anything but picturesque. Gaze
upon those boots with long heels
under the soles of the bunion-knobbed,
corn-ladened feet, and then cry
out against the follies of the other
sex, if you dare. Reform your own
follies, and the : weakness of your
own sex before you raise such a
squawk about the apparel of the
women.
