NASBY. The Election in Kentucky—The morion* Hrmorratic i'letory -.ilr. .\"aby'm Ac count thereof. POST Oms, CONFEDRIT X ROADS, ) {Wich is in the Stait tiv Kentucky,) > August 6, 180s. ) Ef the Amerikin Eagle is in the habit uv screcmin at Democrat victories, she kin now test her capacity to the fullest extent. The election in Kentucky resulted more gloriouser than ever we Bad anticipated. Eighty thousand majority is a big thine, and we knowd it, but we felt that the eye of the Dimocrisy was onto us. and we did our level best. We wanted to inspire the Dim ocrisy uv the North; to set em a example in fact wich would awakin in em emuiashun. The election at the Corners wuz the same ez the others in the State, so in writin the history uv the wun I am writin the history uv all. We held a series uv meetins, all wich, with the exception uv Elder Pennibacker's obstinacy, wnz harmonious and effective. Gov. Seymour's letter wuz a great help to us. I hed been afraid that he mite say suthin in it wich wood bother us, but when I got it I exclaimed haileloogy! He hedn't sed a thing ! He hedn't techd any nv the questions at isboo, and consekently coodn't give no offence to nobody. Bascom took it and swore that he wuz satisfied from readin it in connection with his Cooper Instoot speech that he was in favor of payin the bonds in gold, while Pennibaoker wuz quite as well satisfied from readin it in conneck shun with tbe platform and Pendleton's speeches, that he wuz in favor nv payin tbe bonds in greenbax. They got to dispoot in over it, and referred the matter to me. Imitatin Beymoor, I never sed a word about bonds and greenbax, but went orf into a most elokent denunsiashun uv Joodis Iska riot. It's always safe to aboooze Judis, ez there ain't nobody nowhere to defend him. "But!" sed they in korus, "does he per pose to pay the bonds in gold or greenbax?" Smiling benignantly ontoem, ez Seymour did at the ConvenshuD, I replide in these words : "31 y friends—for you are my friends, let us confine ourselves to liviu ishoos. Let ine ask yoo ez patriots, and men who hev the best interests uv the country at hart, do yxt want yoor daughter a to marry niggertt' 1 "Never !" sed they, strikin tables, "nev er!" and they rushed out into the street, hoilerin "Hah for Seymour !" Sich porshens uv the letter, however, ez fitted our case I red to cm. That paragraff into wich he bewails the oondishun uv men like us at tbe Corners, wich be styles the intelligence uv the South, Kernel McPelter and I read to every one at the Comers, we bcin all wich kin read; and the paragraff in which he denounces the men who assert that Unioo men ain't permitted to live in i jieece in the South I red the first time to twenty or thirty uv our people wich hed jist returned from a raid onto the settlement uv Abolitionists over on the Pike Run. Young Isaaker Gavitt wuz so effected that he shed tears, wipin his eyes with a bandkercher he took from the body uv a Yoonun man wich he bed jist shot in the presence uv his fam ily, wich refoozed to leave the settlement The eleckshun went off magnificently. Never did I see in all my experience, wich hez been very great, sich extensive prepara tion made. Bascom's bar was made free. Deekin Pogram, Kernel McPelter and my self, one uv wich holds a Government offis, and tbo other two expects to, had a barl uv new eleckshun whisky purchist, wich Elder Pennibacker, notwithstandin his disaffeck shuu, furnisht at cost, wich wuz twenty two oents per gallon, ez no tax hez ever bin made in this districk. I opened the polls, usin for the purpus a hat, and the votin eommenst livelv. I put in two. Basoom slipt in three under differ ent names, and the other faithful ooes voted BEDFORD. PA., FRIDAY, SEPT. 4, 1868. ez tuEny times e* they thot necessary. About ten o'clock Pollock came up to rote, at wich I wuz surprised! When I say sur prised I mean it. The very presence nv the man at rich a lime and place wux start j lin, and it hed a terrible effeck on the pup ulis. "Wat!" sed Issakcr Gavitt, indig nantly, 'dhei a Illinoy Abfcheist—-a man not born in Kentucky—a man who hold* views so totally different from ouro, peraoom to vote at these ere poles ? Never 1" And Issaker, bilin over with rage, went for him, in wich he wuz assisted by the en tire balance uv the Corners. The wretched man paid a heavy penalty for his insolence. He wuz carried off by some sympathizin | niggers, a mere wreck uv his former self. A little later the '"Yoonun men," ex tbey call themselves, upon Pike Run, come down |to vote. But Issaker and McPelter reas oned with em. Kernel McPeltcr's remarks wuz )>crtickerleyimpressive. • They asserted that ez Amerikin citizens tbey hed a rite to vote, and shood do so at all hazards. The Kernel in reply stated to em that the Cor ners cood not permit herself to be contami nated with Ablisbin votes. "Should you attempt it," sed he impressively, "the blood uv the Corners will be up, and I wont be answerable for the consekences. Beware!" They pressed forerd, when from among our people a single shot wnz heard, and tbe head uv one uv em, a preacher, fell writhin in the dust. 1 pitied the poor wretch, but wst kin we do ? Why will they come about us, irrita tin our people with their inoenjary votes? That man had a family. Wat reason will he give them, when he's carried home dead, for his ontimely deceese? Its ever thus. The Ablishnists will never let us alone. And yet I spose that a birelin and subsidiz ed press in the North, in the free uv the provocashen wc receeved, will accuse us uv murderin this man! Our ambisben wuz to hev the vote clean Dimekratic. But it wuz not so. At about Ip.m., Joe Bigler, who beerd uv tbe do ins, come to the polls. Issakcr and McPel ter wuz a goin to prevent him from votin, but tbe villian drawd a revolver the minit tbey lookt at him, and tbey partid, makin a lane for him to the hat "Does iDy one challenge my vote?" sed he, coc-kin his weapon. "Ef so, let em speak." But no one interfered, and 1 took it When we oountid out, there was barely one Ablishn ballot in the hat. It wuz Bigler's. But we were ueer enuff yoonanimus, and we perpose to keep so. The process is sim ple. It consists merely in shootin all who differ with us. Thus we hev peeec at home. Our politikle pros pecks are mixed. The reduckshen uv the tax on whisky inclined many uv our voters towards Republicanism, but I headed this orf by swearin that the Democrisy wuz pledged to take it orf alto gether. The Northern papers assertin that Blare's letter don't mean revolooshen is hurten us some, but that is more than bal anced by the ease with wich we kin organ ize. Yesterday an entire regiment in the Confedrit servis reorganized as a Seymoro and Blare Club —retainin their officer? ez doorin the war, and yoosin the identikle rolls, flags and sicb. It aids us wonderfiy. PETROLEUM V. NASBY, P. M., (Wich is Postmaster.) THE SOUTHERN TRADE. The Boston Post appeals to the selfish in terest of merchants to vote the Democratic ticket, with the remark: "Before the war we sent south yearly, of domestic goods, #240,000,000; of imported goods, #106,000,000. We charged her as interest and brokerage, #03,200,000. Isn't this business worth recovering?" It is not only worth recovering; it is worth doubling, or quadrupling, it is worth putting OD a sound foundation; it is worth managing in such away that it shall not ruin those engaged in it once in every dozen years, by a general failure and bankruptcy of soul hern debtors. Tbe way to accomplish all that is to se cure peace, free speech, equal liberty and equal rights in the southern states; to break dowD the influence there of the old and stupid politicians—the Cobbs, Toombsea and other men of that class, who are striving under democratic colors, for a renewal of their supremacy. The old southern leaders, tbe former planting aristocracy, were but poor custo mers; they wasted a good deal, but they did not encourage a substantial industry, such i as makes a country rich and its trade profitable. They would like to return to the old state of things, and they have persuaded the democratic leaders here to help them; they wish once more to bully and coerce the laboring classes in the South they threaten to starve the workmen who wiil not vote as these imperious masters command. Bat is a starved workman a good custo mer? Is a slavish workman a good cus- j tomer? There has been a goo J deal said of the old "southern trade;'" but what was it? What did it consist of? Tbe planters were men of wealth, but they were few in num ber; they lived luxurious lives and spent much money abroad; and their system kept the mass of the whites and all the blacks \ in abject poverty. It cost, according to an eminent South Carolinian, Governor Ham mond, less than twenty dollars per annum to feed and clothe one of the South Carolina "poor whites" before the war; and he ad ded that most of them did not earn that much. What was the "southern trade" with these people worth? The planters purchased for the slaves only the coarsest and cheapest stuffs, tools and food; they kept down, with all their ingenuity, the expenditure for these slaves j What was the "southern trade" for those three millions worth? Now all are free; all have an incentive to labor, to acquire, to live comfortably, to j dress respectably. The poor white, no longer cast aside by the proud planter to • make room for his slaves, has now for the first time in the South, the chance to earn a decent living; for the first time his ambi tion is aroused; he finds himself no longer robbed of employment by the intrigues of the planter, who would give work only to his or his neighbor's slaves. For the first time the poor white has a chance to know what it is to have money to spend: and if we can only secure peace and equal rights, if Grant and his sensible policy rule the country for the next four years, the mil lions of poor whites, turned to useful in dustries, will be far more valuable custo mers than the few pampered planters ever were. Then there are the otljer millions of freedmeo. While they were slaves their masters dressed them in linsey-woolsey, and a bright cotton handkerchief or a plug of tobacco was the greatest luxury the slave ocw - now tbey are free they are ac quiring Dew want*, which stimulate them to more steady and remunerative industry; and if only we can have peace—if Grant and his policy role, these millions of blacks, with their new wants, will soon create a i southern trade worth a dozen times that ; of the few planters of the old times. By a!! means let us foster the southern trade: it will be in a few years so great, so secure, so various, that no one will think regretfully of the old "southern trade," for wbieh merchants were asked to sell their souls and their honor. But to foster, to increase this trade, we must have peace, law, order, equal rights, free speech, an in tclligeot and independent laboring class; then we shall have industry, production, 3nd a desire for greater comfort, for better meassof enjoyment; in short, a "southern trede of real and sound value. The election of Seymour and Blair on the platform of revolution, however, would at once unsettle everything in the South. It i would alarm capital and drive it away from ' the southern states; it would paralyze iudus- I try; it would cripple enterprise, lessen pro | doetion; and in the precise measure that it i re- established the supremacy of the old planting aristocracy it would injure tbe "southern trade" by discouraging and disa bling the laboring class, white as well as black.— Evening Pott. THEY LEARN NOTHING. Four years ago people were greatly amus ed by finding the Democratic platform— which declared the war a failure, and de manded an immediate cessation of hostili ties —printed in many of the country pa pers on the same page with reports of the capture of Atlanta by Sherman. The year before that, Mr. Scjtuour, of this State, distinguished himself by a dol orous Fourth-of July oration in this city; in which he warned his hearers that we could not afford to carry on the war any longer, that we could never beat the rebels. Bnt while he was speaking Vicksburg was sur rendered to Grant, and Lee was beginning to fly from Meade at Gettysburg: and Sey mour's speech was accompanied in the next day's papers with a gloss most unwelcome to him and those who thought with him. A number of experiences of this kind ought to have warned the Democratic lea ders not to attempt prophecy. Their strength does not lie in that direction: events appear to have a spite against them. It would be difficult to imagine anything more inappropriate than General Sherman's capture of Atlanta just after the Democrat ic Convention bad solemnly declared the war a failure, and demanded immediate cessation of hostilities; but the circumstan ces under which the Democratic platform appears this morning are not more fortu nate. Tbe platform denounces the Freedman's Bureau and demands its abolition; but Congress had already passed an act discon tinuing the Bureau, which became a law yesterday; and General Howard gives notice in the same papers in which the democratic platform is printed, that the Bureau has ceased in South Carolina, and that he is rapidly winding up it* affairs in tbe other State*. We read in the platform a demand for the immediate restoration of all the States; and turning from this passage to another column of the papers, read that while all are restored but four, South Carolina, I ir ginia. Mississippi and Texas, South Caroli na has just adopted the amendment, and will doubtless be represented in Congres 8 within tbe week. But we read also in the platform that the acts of reconstruction are "void," which means that the Democrats, if they succeed, will at once desitroy all that has been done, and put us back again to 1565. This is a promise which will hardly delight a people who have grown tired of the long reconstruction squabble. To re open this question, now settled in all but three States, would be a caimity to the country—but that is what tbe platform threatens. There are but two points in the Democrat ic platform which events have not forestal led; the clause favoring the taxation of bonds and their payment in greenbacks; and tbe clause demanding "protection to American industry." But even in these two particulars, General Butler and Mi. Thaddecs Stevens, tbe one with the bill taxing bonds and the other with the with the new tariff bill, are doing all they can to meet the requirements of their Dem ocratic friends and allies. — Evening Pott THE REBEL SPIRIT. Says the Charleston Mercury: "Not one honest man south of Mason's and Dixon's line Is ashamed of the musket he bore or the sword he drew in defence of the Confederate flag. The man who says he is ashamed of it lies. Let every honest man at the North be sure of the fact that the man who says so wants to swindle money out of somebody. He is a knave either in the first or last de gree. The Kentucky Timet says: "We venture the assertion that if Blair were elected President instead of 3 ice Pres ident, and there should be left out some States of the South by virtue of the recent legislation of Congress, he would tripe it all out, take possession of the White House, and Hot out the record of infamy made by Con gress since 1865." This is from the Memphis Appeal: "Go on. boys; swear to murder Northern Huns! Ann yourselves and organize, and be ready to respond promptly when called on. and fight bravely, even if you get killed! The same rebel sheet says: "IV e do not admit that the consolidation of the States and the destruction of their sovereignty are legitimated by the result of the appeal to arms. We do not love, and will not pre tend 4o love, the Union, though we have agreed to obey the laws of the conqueror. If the old Union cannot be restored, we will hope to see the South independent before we die; and if Jacobinism is to become su preme in the North, we wish there could be an impassable wall or gulf of fire between it and our Southern States. The day wil' come when the South will be independent. Hie Appeal further declares the country it by far too large to remain very long under </ne government, and the day will come when the South will be independent. Tbe Augusta Constitutionalist says: The boM declaration of Francis P. Blair, Jr., the J Democratic candidate for Vice President, | 'hat if duly elected he would have his rights, and the rights of those electing him, by force Jof arms, if necessary, alarms them. They ido not relish such bold declarations. They | tell of freemen who know their rights, and I knowing, will dare maintain them. • * The democratic party have also proclaimed the Reconstruction acts unconstitutional, null and void, and if their candidate! are elected the legal governments of the Southern Statet shall be reinstated, though the sword has to be invoked. GHANT AT THE SURRENDER OR VICKSBURG. General Badeau, in his work on the mili tary history of General Grant, tells the following anecdote of General Grant's re ception by the Rebel generals whom he had defeated, when he entered Vicksburg on the Fourth of July, 1863: "He went direct to one of the rebel head quarters, but there was no one to receive him, and he dismounted and entered the porch, where Pemberton sat with his gen erals; they saluted Grant, but not one of them offered him a chair, though all had seats themselves. Neither the rank nor reputation of tbeir captor, nor the swords he had allowed them to wear, prompted them in this simple act of courtesy. Pem berton was especially sullen, both in con versation and behavior. Finally, for very shame, one of the rebels offered a place to Grant The day was hot and dusty; he was thirsty from his ride, and asked for a drink of water. They told him he could find it outside, and no one showing him the way, he groped ia a passage until be found a negro, who gave him a cup of cold water only, which bis enemy had almost denied. When he returned his seat had been taken, and he remained standing during the rest of the interview, which lasted about half an hour." This is a perfectly correct account of" what happened on that occasion. The rudeness of the rebels was perfect, but so was the dignified, imperturbable, forbear ing politeness of their victor. Grant never appeared greater than in his quiet en durance of the absurd ill manner of the men he had conquered. No one who wit nessed the scene will ever forget it, and those wLo have such reason to be asharned of it will probably forget it least of all. CATECHISM FOR THINKERS ? What is the cause of the high taxes? The war. Who made the war? Tbe Democratic party. Why did they make the war? Because they were expelled from political power. Why were they expelled from power? Because they were owned, body and soul, by an aristocratic, ambitious, sectional class interest, which sought, in the defiance of the Constitution, the will of the people, and nat ural right, to perpetuate its power by ob taining control of the territories and the States to be formed out of them. What chiefly encouraged this aristocrat ic class interest to make war upon the Uuion? The oft-repeated, stereotyped, public dec laradons of Democrats of all sections, never rebuked or disavowed by that party, that the Union should be dissolved if the de mands of tbe slaveholders were resisted by the people. Who were in power when this aristocrat ic ißterest undertook to dissolve the Uuioa? The Democratic party. What did they do to prcveat it? Nothmg. What did they do to assist the traitors ? They gave them the forts, arsenals, can non, ammunition and public money in the South, and sent them all they could from the North. What did Gen. Scott beg of tbem to do to prevent the war? j To do as Gen. Jackson did, garrison all the Southern forts. What reply did they make ? That the slaveholders would not like it. How k)Dg was the Democratic party in power after secession commenced ? Three months. What were the traitors doing all that time? Surrounding Fort Somter with batteries of British guns. What did the Democratic Administration order Major Anderson to do ? To let them alone. What did the Republican Administration do when Sumter grew short of provisions ? Sent them more provisions. What did the Democratic party at Charleston do with those British guns ? They rained shot and shell upon the old flag on the walls of Sumter until Anderson was compelled to lower the flag and evacuate, the fort. What was the consequence ? Four years of civil war; the death of half a million of men ; a national debt of three thousand million of dollars; the high tax and high prices. It the Democratic Administration did nothing to prevent the dissolution of the Union, what did the Republican Administra tion do ? They prevented it Who said the war was a failure ? The Democratic party. Was it a failure ? Yes; on their side. What do they ask the people to do; now that they have failed in the war they made? Restore them to power. Will the people do it? We guess not. •'TIGHT BREECHES"- AN ATTACK FROM THE OTHER SIDE. Some female, in an apparently revenge ful spirit, thus holds forth on a prevailing gentleman's fashion: The press has never been remiss in deprecating the follies of the female sex upon the occasion of each change in style of female apparel, but it is a noticeable fact that the popinjay style of breeches now in vogue, more ridiculous than anything the women ever wore, is un noticed. Female loveliness is such that it can make charming any extreme fashion; but what length of familiarity, pray heaven, can ever make tolerable —much less comely —the dexter appendages of a human crane, wound about with cloth so tightly as to stop the circulation ? The present style of pantaloons is neither comfortable, oomely nor economical. The "swell" that adopts it can neither stoop nor sit down without positive danger of an ex posure of his person from rupture caused by teaekm. When we see these fashionables VOL. 41: NO. 33 of the male persuasion on the street, we are reminded of the exhortation of the raw-boned, ill-formed preacher when illustrating the bonders of creatioa. Raising his long, skinny arms high above his head, he exclaimed, "God made this frame." A voice in the congregation replied, "then his took were mighty dull. Here comes a six foot gallant, with a num ber ten boot, and a figure like a pair of tongs. There is not enough of his legs to ! make a shadow, and he walks as if each : boot was a double bass viol. By his side, perhaps, is another devotee of the style half; his length, whose make-up remind one of a plum-pudding perched on the handle of a pair of pinchers. There they go, the ex tremes of folly, and the very essence of lu dicroosnesa. Nothing a woman ever wore will compare in folly with tight breeches on a bandy-legged human biped. rANN* FERN AND MRS. STOWE. THEiil SCHQOL-ti I Rl, BATS Grace Greenwood, is the book called Eminent Women, writes a.- follows about Fanny Fern and Mrs- Stowe as they were before they became known to fame: Sara Willis was educated at Hartford, in the far-famed seminary of Miss Catharine Beecher. At that time Harriet Beecfaer (Mrs. Stowe) was a teacher in this school. She was amiable and endearing in her ways, and was recognized as a decidedly clever young lady, with a vein of quiet humor, a sleepy sort of wit that woke up and flashed out when least expected; but of a careless, unpractical turn of mind. She was not thought by any means the equal in mental power and weight of her elder sister, whose character was full of manly energy, who was a clear thinker, and an excellent theologian, a good, great high hearted woman, with a strong will and remarkable executive abilities. <of all his children. Dr. Beecher is sad to have most highly respected Catharine. Sam Willis must hero have laid an excellent foundation for successful authorship, through probably nothing was further from her thoughts at the time than such a profession. It would have seemed too quiet and thought compelling a career for her, with her heart as full of frolic as a lark s breast is of aoging. There are yet traditions in that staid old town of Hartford, of her mer ry school-girl escapades, her "tricks and her manners," that draw forth as hearty laugh ter as the witty sallies, humorous fancies, and sharp strokes of satire that give to her writings their peculiar sparkle and dash. If she grappled with the exact sciences it is not probable that they suffered much in the encounter. For geometry she is said to have an especial and inveterate dislike. Indeed, her teacher, Mrs. Stowe still tells a story of her having torn out the leaves of Euclid to earl her hair with. So, she laid herself down to mathematical dreams, her fair head bristling with acute angles, in pa ralkdogrammatic and paraDelobibedonic pa pillate 3 —in short, with more geometry out side than in. WORCESTER of DICTIONARY' FAME. Doctor Worcester, in his latter days, {he died in 1865, at the age of eighty,) seldom walked abroad, his limbs being affected with slight paralysis. He was, however, a con stant attendant at Christ Church, the Episcopalian, and walked slowly there and back on Sunday mornings, accompained by Mrs. Worcester. He took daily exercise, driving in a curious old-fashioned buggy, with an equally queer old-fashioned tum bling, jolting horse, all in harmony with the quaint occupant within. It was carious sight to .see the venerable lexicographer, rumbling along slowly over the plcAsaDt sub urban highways, keenly eDjoyicg the brief relief from his plodding labors. Few, however, knew him, so retired was he in all his habits, so intent upon his great work, his association with the other were not intimate. A tall, gaunt mac, thin and apparently feeble, his lower limbs hardly sufficing the carry him at the slowest pace; his hair long and gray, curling toward the shoulders; his face spare arid short, with, however, a broad forehead and dullish, bine eyes, hidden beneath spectacles. In man ner he was simple and cordiah his welcome was always gracious; his hospitality unosten tatious, but always pleasant. His voice was high and feeble, and in the latter years of his life his hearing was very much affec ted. A stringent moralist and earnestly pious, he was the model of a quiet Christian gen tleman. His charities, unseen, were dis covered, after his death, to have been wide spread and well directed. He died posses sed of an extensive property, consisting chiefly of lands and houses in the vicinity of his residence, where he had lived for many years previous to his departure from earth. Although a graduate of the rival University of Yale. Dr. Worcester's literary career had always been identified with Harvard. The latter university adopted his diction ary as an authority in preference to that ol Dr. Noah Webster, patronized by Yale, where the latter also graduated. In the United States, Worcester's Dictionary is generally prefen od among scholars for ortho graphy, and that of Webster for accurate definitions; the scale, on the whole, appears to be turning in favor of the latter, due in part, perhaps, to the essays recently pub lished thereon by the distinguished Ameri can philologist, the Hon. George P. Marsb. now minister at the Court of Florence. A SISTER'S INFIXTEXCE.— "That man has grown among kind and loving sisters,' I once heard a lady remark. "And why do you think so?" said L "Because of the rich development of all the tender feelings of the heart, which are so apparent in every word. A sister's influence is felt even in manhood's later rears, and the heart of him who has grown cold with its contact with the world, will warm and thrill with pure enjoyment as some incident awakes with the soft tones and glad melodies of hi* aster's voice. And he will turn from purposes which a warped and false philosophy has reasoned into ex pediency and weep for the gentler influence which loved him in his earlier years. AMOS LAWRENCE, the distinguished Bos ton merchant, was an advocate of early marriages, bnt was strenuously opposed to any man marrying a fortune. Speaking of a desirable match for a friend, he said. "My objection to her is, that she has a few thou sand dollars in cash. This, however, might be remedied; for after purchasing a boose, the balanoo might be given to near connec tions. or to some institution.' BATES OF ADVERTISING.

Is HE RlCH? —Many a sigh is heaved, many a heart is broken, many a life is ren dered miserable, by the terrible infatuation which parents often manifest in choosing a life-companion lor their daughters. How is it possible for happiness to result from the union of two principles so diametrically op posed to each other in every point, as virtue is to vice! And yet, how often is wealth considered a better recommendation for young men than virtue. How often is the first which is asked respecting the suiter of a daughter, this: "Is he rich?" Yes, he abounds in wealth ; bat does that afford any evidence that he will make a kind and af fectionate husband ! "Is he rich?" Yes, his clothing is pnrple and fine linen, and he fares sumptuously every day, but can you infer from this that he is virtuous ? " Is be rich?" Yes, he has thousands floating on every ocean; but do not riches sometimes "take to themselves wings and fly away f" And wiH TOO consent that your daughter shall marry a man who has nothing to recommend him but his wealth? Ah, be ware ! The gilded bait sometimes covers a bearded hook. Ask not, then, "is he rich?" but "is he virtuous ?" Ask not if he has wealth, but has be honor? and do not sacrifice your daughter's peace for money. MAKE THE BEST OF IT. —A determination to make the best of everything, is a won derful smoother of the difficulties which beset us in oar probationary scene. In Peter Pindar's story of the penacce of walk ing to a certain serine with pets in their shoes, had been enjoined, are represented as having performed their tasks under very different circumstances, and in very (liferent moods. One of them having taken the precaution to soften his peas by boiling them, tripped lightly and merrily over the ground; the other, who bad not gnmption enough to turn his hard pallets into a poul tice by the same process, limped and hobled all the way. It is pretty much the same in our pilgrimage through this "vale of tears. " The impatient and imprudent travel on hard peas, the prudent and sagacious make themselves easy in their shoes, and ran cheerfully the race that is set before them. A WAB OF RACES !—Then let us pre pare for it! We sound the note of warn ing to the people, and hid them be on the alert. Preparations may be preventive; but if, in spite of preparations, the conflict is precipitated upon us, it can have but one conclusion. The negro element in the South is like a gangrene upon the body politic, and the first drop of blood shed in a servile war will be the signal for the extermination of the whole race. If such a war must come, let it come quick ly. The South wants peace, and if it is now to be required to wade through a sea of blood to reach it. the sooner commenced the sooner ended. Our white allies in Mary land and Kentucky, not to mention States further North, may be relied on for assis tance, if we need it.— Richmond Examiner. LABOI'LAT* has published a very remark able paper on the political situation in the United States. He says that, even though the horizon should be less bright than the most prominent Repnbhcan pa]>ers in the United States claim, he considers Gi-mt and Colfax's election a foregone conclusion : "for. says he, "at every critical juncture in its history, the American Republic, when its citizens were' thoroughly aroused, has had the best of luck, and so it will be again this time.
