Of the great Struggle between Mort,'
and Despotism for - ther last
Hundred Years.
In the - 7year 1813, Thomas Jefferson I
wrote the following to Mr. Mellish
"Sir: In your work you say the differ
ence of-principle between the two great
political parties in America, you conclude
to be, whether the controlling power
shall be vested in this or that set of men.
I sincerely wish our differences were but
personally who shall govern, and thatthe
principles Of the Constitution were thoie
of both parties.
.Unfortunately, it is oth
erwise, and the question of preference be
tween Monarchy and Republicanism,
which has so long divided mankind else
where, threatens a permanent division
here. The government the Federalists
wished to have established here was the
English government, and they only ac
cepted the present Constitution as a step
ping stone to the first establishment of
their favorite model. This party has al
ways clung to England as their prototype
and auxiliary in effecting this change. A
weighty minority, however, considering
the conversion of our government into a
monarchy as too disc ant, wish to break off
from our Union its Eastern fragment, it
being in fact. the hot bed of American
monarchism, with a view to a commence
ment of their favorite government. At
the head of this party is what is called
the Essex junto of Ma4sachus3tts.
"The Federalists claim Washington but
Gen. -Washington did not harbor one
principle of Federalism.. The only point
in which he and I ever differed in opin
ion, was, that I had more cpnfidence than
he had in the natural integrity and discre
tion of the pc - ople. It is a mere cal
umny, therefore, for the monarchists to
associate General Washington with
their principles. It is a mere artifice in
this party, to bolster themselves up on the
revered name of that first of our worth
ies."
Americans! You have the testimony of
thb author of the Declaration of Indepen
donee that Washington was a Democrat,
that he did not harbor one principle of
Federalism, and that Federalis.n means
monarchy. You hear him say that it is a
calumny. upon Gem Washington in Clese
monarchists to associate 'him with the;r
principles, and a mere artifice to bolster
themselves up on the revered name-of the
father of our country. Ten years_ after
Jefferson wrote this letter,.and but two
years before he left the scenes of earth he
wrote again as follows:
" The Federalists, pretending to be the
exclusive friends of Gen. Washington,•
have ever done what they could to sink
his character, by hanging theirs on it,and
by representing as the enemy of Republi
cans (Democrats), bim who, of all men,
is
best entitled to the appellation of thefa
ther of that Republic which they we-e en
deavoring to subvert and the IMM - Eicrats
to maintain. Gen. Washington was a sin
cere friend to the Republican principles
of our Constitution, and has repeatedly
declared to me that he would lose the
last drop of his blood in its support,
against any attempt that might be made
to change it from its Republican form."
Now, yon have the testimony of this
great statesman, who sat eight years in
the chair of state first filled by Washing-
Lob 3 --- whiriassed . through two -bloody
struggles with Great Britain to maintain
the liberties of A . merica, which that tyr-
annical nation is trying to wrest from us;
that the great Republican party who are
now claiming the right to rule over this
nation as conquerors of the South, want
ed the English government established
here when our Union was formed ; that
they only accepted - ? the present Constitu
tion, Which they Are now trampling under
their feet, as a stepping stone to the final
establishment of their favorite model:'
You have his testimony that up to 1813
they had always clung to England as
their auxiliary in affecting this change ;
that a weighty minority, considering the
conversion of our government into a mon
archy as too distant, wished to break off
New England from our Union, it being,
in fact, the hot-bed of American monarch.

We now behold the spectacle of a great
party, embracing all the , old monarchists
and distmioniSts of Jefferson's and Ad
am& days, and. embracing and composing
all the advocates- for a dissolution of the
Union - for the following third of a centu
ry, now punishing the South for the very
"sin" which they tried to commit them
selves; punishing as "a crime against
God," an set which they boldly pro
claimed in 4gland and America they
were endenoring to perform themselves,
and asked the assistance of England in
bringing it to: completion. Yes, say the
great party, but we were trying to dis
solve the Union in order to free the slaves.
We will bring the testimony of Thomas
Jefferson again to prove the dishonesty
of this great party. He says, in 1824,but
ten years before New England sent Gar
rison and Phillips to England for assist
ance in dissolving the Union :
"The slavery 'question is a mere party
trick. The leaders of Federalism, defeat
ed in their schemes of obtaining power by
rallying partisans to the principles of
monarchism, got up the slavery question.
The people of the North went blindfold
into the snare, until they found that the
slaves bad been used merely as tools for
political purpnses, and then that trick of
hypocrisy felt as quickly as it had been
gotten up."
The pretended grevance of this party
was slavery ; their , real grievance was De
' m ocraey. nlin Quincy Adams, in re-
I viewing the writings of Fisher Ames, the
foremost leader of Federalism in ass.,
says:
" Mr. Am& principles are the princi
ples of a faction, which has succeeded in
obtaining the' management of this Com
monwealth, and which aspired to the gov
ernment of tbe Union. Defeated in this
last object of their ambition, their next re
sort was to dismember what they could
not sway, and to form a new confederacy
to be under the glorious shelter of Brit
ish protection."
You now have the word of two Presi
dents of the United States, one from Vir
ginia and the other from Massachusetts,
that this greet Itepublican party tried for
fifty years to dismember the Union, be
fore the South attempted to follow their
example. The first disunionists called
themselves Federalists, then changed
their name to Abolitionists, and Fisher
Ames was one of the founders of this dis
unien party. Well, this monarchist and
aristocrat in' 1786 made a journey to Vir
ginia to see if he could win over some of
the Democrahy , of that State to join his
party. Washington, Jefferson, Madison,
Monroe, and' Other great statesmen then
lived and - flourished in that now depressed
State. The journal of this old Federalist
relates his success. Ile says;
saw Virginia. A Federal party is
certainly rising up there. I hope, and my
informants were absolutely certain that
some real Feds would be sent, to the next
Congress—four, at least, of the nineteen.
Jefferson will not have all the votes in
Virginia for President.'h
But. by 1803 the hopes of this pour ar
istocrat were well nigh blasted. Jeffer
son was President, despite the desperate
efforts of the monarchists to defeat him,
and Mr. Ames writes in his journal :
"Democracy is full of ardor and proud
of its power in the government. It boasts
that all the South, is Democratic, and I
confess to see little cause to expect the
Southern State governments will be in
Federal hands."
Three years later, 1806, he is in despair,
Mid says:
"The Federalists can never become the
dominant party till our government has
passed through its revolutionary changes'
And now for the sequel to all the per
formances of this great Federal, Aboli
tion, black Republican party One of its
members informs those who may not be
initiated into all;tnemyeteiies of the re

A Rift in the Clouds.
Andrew Lee came home from his sho • p
where he bad worked all day, tired and
out. of spirits; came home to his wife,
who was also tired and out of spirits.
"A smiling wife and a cheerful home—
a paradise it would be I" said Andrew to
himself, as he turned his eyes from the
clouded face of Mrs. Lee, and sat down
with knitted brows and moody aspect.
Not a word was spoken by either. Mrs.
Lee was getting supper, and she moved
about with a weary step. " Come," she
said at last, with a side glance at her hus
band.
Andrew arose and went to the table.
He was tempted to speak an angry word,
but controlled himself and kept silent.
Ile could find no fault with the chop nor
the homemade bread, nor the fragrant
tea. They would have cheered his inward
man, if there had been any gleam of sun
shine on the face of his wife. He noticed
she did not eat.
" Are yon not well, Mary ?" The
words were on his lips, but be did not ut
ter them, for the face of his. wile looked
so repellant, that he feared an irritating
reply.
And so in moody silence, the twain sat
together until Andrew had finished his
supper.
As be pushed his chair back, his wife
arose, and commenced clearing off the ta
ble.
"This is purgatory,"" said Lee to him
self, as be commenced walking the floor
of their little breakfast room, with his
hands thrust down into his trowsers pock
ets, and his chin almost touching his
breast.
After removing all the dishes and ta
ktng them into the kitchen, Mrs. Lee
spread a green cover on the table, and
placing a fresh trimmed lamp thereon,
went out and shut the door after her,
leaving her husband alone with unpleas
ant feelings. He took a long deep breath
as he did so, pausing in his walk, stood
still for some moments, and then drawing
a paper from his pocket, sat down by the
table, opened the sheet, and 'commenced
reading. Singularly enough, the words
upon which his eyes rested were" Praise
your wife." They rather tended to in
crease the disturbance of mind from which
he was su9ering.
" I should like to find some occasion
for praising mine." How quickly his
thoughts expressed that ill natured senti
ment. But his eyes were on the page be
fore him, and he read on : " Praise your
wife, man; for pity's sake give her a little
encouragement. It won't hurt her."
Andrew Lee raised his eyes from the
paper and muttered : " Oh, yes, that's
all very well, praise is cheap enough. But
praise her for what ? For being sullen . ,
and making her home the most disagreea
ble place in the world ? His eyes fell
again on the paper.
" She has made your home comfortable,
your hearth bright and shining, your food
agreeable; for pity's sake tell her you
thank her, if nothing more. She don't
expect it; it will make her eyes open wi
der-than-they have for twenty years; but
it will do-her good for all that, and you,
too."
It seemed to Andrews as if this sentence
was written just for the ocasion. It was
a complete answer to his question, "praise
her for what ?" and he felt it also a re
buke. He read no further, for thought
came too busy in a new direction. Mem
ory was convicting him of injustice to his
wife. She had alw(aysmade his home as
comfortable for him as her bands could
make it, and had he offered the light re
turn of praise or commendation ? Had
he ever told her of the satisfaction be bad
known, or the comfort be had experienc
ed ? He was not able to recall the time
or occasion. As thought thus, Mrs. Lee
came in from the kitchen, and taking her
work basket from the closet, placed it on
the table, and sitting down without speak
ing, began to sew. Mr. Lee glanced al
most stealthily at the work in her bands,
and saw the bosom of a shirt, which she
was stitching neatly. He knew that it
was for him that she was at work.
"Praise your wife." The words were
before the eyes, of his mind, and he could
not look away - from them. But be was
not ready for this yet. He still felt moo
dy and unforgiving. The expression of
his wife's face be interpreted to mean ill
natured for which be had no patience.
His eyes fell upon the newspaper which
lay spread out before him, and be read the
sentenec : "A kind cheerful word spo
ken link gloomy house, is the tittle rift in
the cloud that lets the sunshine through."
Lee struggled with himself a while lon
ger. His own ill nature bad to be con
quered first; his moody accusing spirit
had to be subdued. He thought of many
things to say, yet he feared to say them
lest his wife should 'address with a cold
rebuff. At last, leaning , toward her and
taking hold of the shirt bosom upon which
she was at work, be said in a voice care
fully modulated with kindness :
" You are doing the work beautifully,
Mary."
Mrs. Lee made no reply ; but her hus
band did not fail to notice that she lost
almost instantly that rigid erectness with
which she had been sitting, nor that the
motion of her needle bad ceased.
" My shirts are better made and whiter
than those of any other man in the shop,"
said Lee, encouraged to go on.
" Are they ?"
Mrs. Lee's voice was low, and had in it
a slight huskiness. She did not turn her
face, but, her husband saw she leaned a
little toward him. He had broken the
ice-of reserve and all was easy now. His
hand was among the clouds and a feeble
rayjwas already struggling through the
rift 'it had made.
" Yee, Mary," he answered softly; "and
I've hoard it more than once, what a good
wife Andrew-Lee must have."
Mrs. Lee-turned her face toward her
husband.
There was light in it, and light in her
eye. Bat there Wu something in the ex
pression of the codutenance that a little
puzzled him.
" Do you think so ?" She asked, quite
soberly.
" What a question l" ejaculated An-
Cirew Lee starting up and goin`g-round to
the side of the table where his wife was
sitting. " What a question,
Mary lt be
repeated, as he stood beside her.
"Do you ?" It was all she said.
" Yes, darling," was his warmly spo
ken answer, and he stooped down and
kissed her. " How strange that you
should ask me such a question l"
" If you would only tell me so now and
then, Andrew, it would do me some
good." Mrs. Lee arose, and leaning her
face against the manly breast of her hus
band, stood and wept.
What a strong light broke in upon the
mind of Andrew Lee. He had never giv
en his wife even the small reward of
praise for the loving interest she bad man
ifested daily, until doubt of love had en
tered her soul. No wonder that her face
grew clouded, nor what he considered
moodines and ill nature, took possession
of her spirit.
" You are good and true, Mary, my
own dear wife ; I am proud of you—l
love you, and my first desire is for your
happiness. 0, if I could always see your
face in sunshine, my home would be the
dearest place on earth."
" How precious to me are your words
of love and praise, Andrew," said Mrs.
Lee, smiling np through her tears into his
face. " With them in my ears, my heart
can never lie in a shadow."
How easy bad been the work for An
drew Lee. He had swept his hand across
the cloudy horizon, and now the bright
sunshine was streaming down and flood
ing that home with joy and and beauty.
A Romantic Story.
The St. Louis Republican tells the fol
lowing : " During 'Price's' raid in 1864,
a skirmish took place on the line of Char
iton and Howard counties, some four
miles from Glasgow, in which one of the
rebs was left on the ground dangerously
wounded in the neck. Wnile in this con
dition, Miss Sarah J. Smith, a school
teacher in the vicinity happened to pass
by. Seeing the wounded man she went
to him and staunched his wounds, proba
bly saving his life. She remained with
him until near nightfall, when he reques
ted her to leave, as his companions would
probably come in the night and take him
away. If not she would find him where
he was in the morning, living or dead.
He said he was known by the name of
Tucker,
but that his real name was Mc-
Donald, and that he was from Louisville,
Ky. Next morning McDonald was gone,
and Miss Smith knew nothing concerning
him afterwards. A few days ago, says
the Glasgow Times, Miss Smith (who
(who still resides in the neighborhood)
received a letter from H. C. McDonald,
Sr., informin2 her that she was named in
the will of the deceased as the legatee of
$50,000, in consideration having saved the
life of his nephew and only heir, the H.
C. MDonald named in conneetion with
the incident of 1864.

Suabian Zarriage Customs.
A correspondent of the Boston Trans
script writes from Essliogen that the Sya
bins marry in a curious fashion. He says:
" It is a pleasant custom among these
Suabian people to bring little children
and flowers prominently before them in
all their pleasures. Bridal processions are
preceded by young children with wreaths
of flowers or green leaves, then the be
trothed follow, the maiden dressed in
black; it is of some silk stuff her short
dress is made if well to do in this world's
goods, if not, alpacca serves her, black
gloves, a black shawl and wreath of white
flowers and a nosegay at her girdle. Her
lover also wears a black suit, sometimes
of tabby velvet with silver guild en for
buttons, a bridal favor in his button hole.
The bridesmaids follow, all in white with
gay ribbons and wreaths of flowers, with
an attendant friend also wearing bridal
favors. Then come the fathers and moth
ers, with relatives and friends, the bells
on the old church meanwhile sending out
a merry welcome to peasant brides as
well as brides of higher degree.
•' On entering the church the maiden
is led by her lover to a pew where she
sits attended by her bridesmaids and fe
male friends. The bridegroom and his
companions meanwhile take seats in pews
opposite, while the little children, with
their flowers are placed near the altar.
The old bell ceases its gay clamor, and
the pastor enters by a side door in his
black robe ascends the pulpit, and reads
' the betrothed a good long sermon in pure
German or Suabian, as his judgment die
dates. He is au old man, and dearly lov
ed by his peasant folks; being a ripe schol
ar he indulges his fancy when he knows
those who have come to be joined togeth
er in holy state of matrimony, will under
stand his fine periods and rich flow of lan
guage.
"After sermon, the pastor and the as
sembled group together bend in silent
prayer. He leaves the pulpit, and puts
over his black robe a white linen surplice,
then goes to the altar, on which there is
laid a Bible in a leather case. The bride
groom leaves his seat for the pew where
the maiden sits, and leads her to the al
tar, where the service is finished which
makes them husband and wife. On leav
ing the altar, the husband receives from
the pastor the Bible, with an injunction
to read and be governed by its teachings
diligently and with the fear of God. He
then deposits in the receiving plate a bit
of money, and the bridal party follow,
each giving as they please to the fund for
purchasing other Bibles for other hus
bands who may come after. Every bride
groom, from those who wear kingly
crowns to the humblest peasant, receives
a Bible at the altar when he plights his
troth to his wedded wife.
" The bride meets at the church door,
as it is opened for her to pass out, a group
of children her little friends, who have
gathered there, ready to offer their gifts;
some bring flowers, some fruit, some a
cup and saucer, some a • plate; a gay rib
bon,
a spool of thread, or whatever they
please to bestow. These they give to
some one of the bridal party to take to
the brides new home. One morning I
heard a merry clattering in the street, and
looking out of my window saw a peasant's
bridal procession going with the bridal
gifts to the new - home. Two women car
ried on their beads each a new mattress,
others with large pillows covered with
bright colors, others with new baskets of
linen—both bed and tablelinen. One wo
man, quite tasty in her basket covering,
had the muslin custains neatly folded and
a gay pin cushion for her gift. A man
with a mirror, another with a new basket
of china; while a' poor decreptit old peas
ant, bent with suffering and bad his heart
lighted for a little by a bright new duet
pan and brush he was taking for the
young people."
The Way they Work.
A writer in the Southern Planter and
Farmer states that a gentleman in Char
lotte county, Va., thus tested the com
parative results of white and black labor:
"He furnished thirteen negroes with
mules, implements and provisions to raise
a crop, and at the same time fnrnished an
outfit to two white men. The negroes
raised ninety four barrels of corn, seven
stacks of oats and five thousand pounds
of tobacco. The two white men, with a
little negro girl to cook for them, raised
one hundred and twelve and a half bar
rels of corn, ten stacks of oats and eight
thousand pounds of tobacco. The ne
groes returned , the mules in a poor, ema
ciated condition. The white men return
ed theirs fat and sleek. The negroes
worked four mules, the white men two.
The gentleman referred to will this year
work white men 'exclusively. To show
the improvidence of the negroes, he said
the cart and mules were at their service
to haul wood, yet they preferred to burn
rails."

IVOLUME XXV, NUMBER 8.
,
That' there a preponderance of Mg
male sex born into the world is now *
generally admitted physiological fact. It
is estimated as high as three or four per
cent. and Paley somewhere argues that
war is a divine dispensation to remove
this inequality. A writer in the North
British Review, however, asserts that
males, whether boys or men, die at a fas
ter rate than females, so that tortrds the
age of eighteen the 'sexes are about equal
in number, and after that age women pre
ponderate. The average excess of wo
men be places at three per cent.. " This
excess varies in different countries, and
there is some reason to believe that it is
gradually increasing." The excess of wo-,
men in all ages is, in Scotland 11 per cent.
and 4i per cent. in Ireland; of women, be•
tween twenty and forty years of . age, 23
per cent. in Scotland and 9 per cent. in
Ireland.. A report, prepared in 1861, es
timated the excess of women in Sweden
at 6.3 per cent.; Norway, 4.2; German
Union, 2.3; Holland, 1.8; Spain I.s;France,
1.05; Denmark, 0.8; Prussia 0.7. In Amer
ica the excess at that time was about 61
per cent. In England and Wales there
are now, ashown by the census returns,
513,000 more] women than men. The
North British writer further asserts that
there are 1,519,000 unmarried women in'
these two countries. " England" be says
has always been the country of old maid;
—it is becoming so more and more."—
This is due to the increasing:luxury of the
age. While 4of 5 per cent: of English
women may prefer celibacy from taster
temperament, the !statistic., show that fah;
ly 99 per cent. remain in that condition..
For example, 41 per cent of the adult wo
men of Lonon are unmarrid; and '45 per . '
cent of those in. Surrey, StlSex, Middle
sex, Westminster and Cumberlande--
" Theso figures," observes the writerr
" are the measure of our divergence from,
a thoroughly natural, sound, healthy, so
cial condition;" and the 'fault for this di
vergence lies mainly with themen. "The
women are to blame, but men are incom..
parably more so, for it is they Ivho do or
might give ,the tone on all . social matters.,,
Thousands bf women would prefer lova',
to splendor—a base competence, even a
struggling poverty with- marriage to the
moat iuxuctous life without — if men had
the courage to offer them in the choice.
The latter, however, prefer a .vicions and
heartless youth, and a Joyless and loveless
old age, because they have no nerveto
work and no fortitude to forego."
Lord Stanley's speech at the Ministeri
al banquet at Bristol, as reported by the
cable, will occasion sincere regret in this
countsy. His assertion that there would
be no reformarory legislation 'fur Ireland
proves that the Lerbyites, like the BOlir
bons, " forget nothing and learn nothing.
The recent troubles in Ireland show that,
the speaker ignored stubborn facts when
he stoted that " the island was never be

A Serious Charge. ,
The Philadelphia Post, a radical orta n,
gives authority from three other leading
radical journals, for its allegation that
Gen Grant is intemperate : It says :
"If the charge that Gen. Grant has I
been seeen drunk in the streets ofWaiiV
