Ii is natural nd tiht that a mother
saoul 1 wiit to ca her Iatthter well ed
ucated, and even highly ncconipli.-hcd.
and :t i.- a mistake that .Hid and careful
education would usifit a oj-t j'or the hoiiio-
ly duties id eookinjr, diMtm, fee. On
the contrary, th"o ilutien would be better
pcrf-rmeu, and it mothers would, at the
fame time that they eek talented iustruc
tors for their daughters, impart to them
nine of their own culinary talent, there
would bo wore ;ood wives and more mar-
ria-ies.
jjittlc jrirls should be taught, as early
as possible, to perform simple household
duties ne:-t y, and as th y j:row older lt
them become gradually accjuainfed with
the theory of houekeepiuo; in such a
manner that whin they ate married they
will be able to adapt, themselves to their
ciicutm-taticcs, and be useful s s well as
pleasing ciiiii a'llons to their husbands.
Let none o' my unmarried sisters suppose
that I wih tbcrii when they marry to be

Domestic Lite. Tho banes of domestic-
life nru littleness, falsity, vttl
jjarity, harshness, seohlin;, vocifera
tion, an incessant issuinj; of superflu
ous prohibitions and orders, which are
regarded as impertinent interferences
with tlu; general liberty and repose,
and arc provocative ot rankling and
explosive resentment. The blessed
antidotes that sweeten ami enrich do
mestic life, are refinement, high aims,
great interest, soft voices, quiet and
gentle manners, magnanimous temper,
forbearance from aii unnecessary cont
ra nds or dictation, and generous al
lowances of mutual freedom. Love
makes obedience lighter than liberty.
Man wears a noble allegiance, not as
a collar, but as a garland. The Graces
are never so lovely as when seen wait
ing on the Virtues ; and when they
thus dwell together, they make a heav

y eld to this r-yretj voice, that which jer
s-mdv you to extend the debt and reduce
the interest. Day the debt and save the
mtcrot. That will answer your pur
ptc. That will insure your future.
Hut, gentlemen, parsing away from
this feubjeet of the material interests of
the country, on which I have dwelt lo s
ger than 1 intended, let me rgain call
your attention to this factthat the greu
pole Mar of the Democratic party is the
Constitution of the I'nitcd States. Do
not, my fellow citizens, in the heat oj
this arduous content, forget tint great
h-si n. The llepuhlican party believe
th?y can amend it; that they can change
it and m.-ike it a better constitution ih n.
our fathers made it in the days of old
I charge if upon you. Democrats, that are
1 ere to night, never to consent to an
amendment or its degradation. Do noi
seek to amend it; do not seek to evade it.
Obey it. D way g'-ri j enough for yout
fathers it is good enough for you. D
B "... -II, , I.-
you oney if, it win uo gocu enough loi
your children for lO'i years to come.
.Study i understand if. Carry it ahou
with you as a living pro.-eneo in all ih
walks of your daily life. Take it to youi
home; read it to your wife; teach if to
your children ; put. it upon your family
altar, tint when you bow your head in
Hipplicatiug prayer it may be there next
to the image of (.Jod himself. D. this,
ami then in His own good time you will
he able to raicc it up to that place and
power to which the brazen serpent in the
wilderness was raised in order that the
plague inight bo stayed. Do this and
you vib be able to raiso it up to thai
high place of honor to which the Ark of
ihe Covenant was raised, round which the
unseen legions of the Al i.ightv kept, ward
and guard, that he who touched it with
impious hands should tlie. llcniember;
fellow-citizens, that the CntHiitmiou con
tains within itself all that was good in
the experiences of the past, and till that
is hopeful in the prospects of the future.
It i tlie ark id' safety in the midt of the
flood that is upon us. It may be tossed
iu the blackness of darkness upon the
weary waters of many ' ilys, but it will
rest upon the mountain top at last; the
sun will shine, the dove will leave it ne
ver to return, and now. as then, 'emblem
of purity, and liberty, and peace, she wil.
eek to rebuild her habitations amidst the
scene of her former life. I do not do
snair. I have hope in the aspirations of
men. 1 have faith in the providence of
Cod. I know that the pathway of his
tory is strewn with the wrecks of empires,
and peoples, and constitutions, and liber
ty ; and it may ho in tho providence of
Co l that this country of ours will follow
in the wake of all the nations that have
gone before. If it shall be so; let it nut
ho owing to the faults 'or misfortunes of
the Democratic party. If it must be so,
let it ho known that it was the party ot
our love that stood to the last, with heroic
"virtue, to tho principles 01 civu liDerty.
1
OCTOBER 17, 18G8.
If it must be o, let us my fellow-citizen,
take consolation in tho thought that in
the eternal circles of God death is but
the precursor of resurrection ; and that
the Miiiio principle which hasten nations
to decay, contain within thcmselvc; the
f park of living fire, which ficcuro uudy
ing youth to our immortal race.
Time writes no wrinkles 00 its fair young brow,
Such us creation's dawn behetd, it noes tote now'
Amidst the wrecks of time its progress
is still onward atid upward, higher and
still higher.
"And from the sky, erne and tar,
A roiee falls like failing star

Tho principles involved in the contest
