respectable and peaceful citizens with their dishonest exactions. These outrages are openly justified, and their encourage ment declared to he necessary for the good of the Radical party. The foremost mem bers of Congress have avowed their deter munition to legislate upon them with ref erences to the chances it may give them of carrying future elections, In other words, the worst wrongs, and the most shameful violations of common justice are committed in order that a certain combination of politicians, already in power, may continue to rule us for their pleasure, and plunder us for their profit Of General Grant we desire to speak with the respect due to the Chief Magis trate of the nation, and a soldier of great reputation. But it is painfully manifest that he is not fit for his place. He has never made the slightest efforts to preserve, protect or defend the Constitution. On the contrary be has given to his enemies in Congress, all the aid and comfort he could, and he has assumed without scru ple, powers which kings are careful not to exercise, and which no Republican ruler can hold without mortal offense to popular liberty. Instead of guarding the public treasury he has encouraged the corrupt extravagance of Con„,oress and some of the worst jobs have had their origin in the "Rings" which immediately snrronnd him. Before and about the time of his election, his inconsistent express ions showed that he had no convictions (perhaps no acknowledge) upon public affairs. lie avowed openly in writing, over his own name, that he had nopolicy, that is to say, no opinions or sentiments which would control his choice of meas ures. But leading and ambitions men of the Republican party proposed to him a policy which would set-to their interests at the expense of equal rights, and they accompanied their sogg,esttons with offers of enormous presents - in money, lands, houses and goods far exceeding iu value the annual salary which the people agreed to pay him for an impartial and just ad ministration of their government He accepted the presents, adopted the policy and appointed the donors to office. It will surely be admitted that all American citizens who believe these facts to be true are bound by the sacred obli gations of patriotism, honor and con science to oppose this state of things, and by opposing end it, if possible. The per sons interested in preventing a change will ask how, to what crtent, and by what means we propose to make reforms. The question is a fair one and we will answer it briefly. It will be the duty of the Dem ocratie party, and, to the extent of our authority, original or delegated, we hereby pledge ourselves and our associates, so far as in us lies— 1. To put the ship of State once again on her constitutional back and hold her lead firmly and steadily to that course. To protect individual citizens of all parties, classes and creeds in the enjoy ment of life, liberty, property, reputation, and the pursuit of their lawful' business, by an impartial administration of justice iwtho ordained and established courts. 3. To preserve the powers of the gener al government in their own constitutional vigor as our sole defense against foreign aggression, the safest bond of union be tween different sections of the country and the only sure promise of general pros perity: 4. To maintain unimpaired the revers ed rights of the States, not only because they are guarranteed by the Federal Con stitution, but because the States alone can safely be trust,d with the manage ment of their own local concerns. reduce the expenditure of the government by confining its appropria tions to legitimate objects by a rigid sys tem of accountability and economy, and by abolishing much of the unnecessary and pernicious machinery with which it is encumbered. 6. To moderate the burdens of the people, not only by economical adminis tration, but by a system of taxation upon foreign imports, as well as domestic pro ductions, which shall he just and equal in its operations upon the property and bus iness of the country, not enriching some while it impoverishes others,and not open to the frauds now habitually practiced. 7. To preserve the public credit by the prompt payment of the public obliga tions. 8. To consecrate the public lands to the use of the landless people who need it, by a system which will secure a sufficiency to all, and stop at once the long series of swindles by which so many millions of screshave been given away to those who already have more than enough. These are some of the duties which lies before the people if they desire to see their government administered with a decent respect for the Constitution of their fath ers, or with tolerable-honesty in financial matters. - We hare no test oe - orthodoxy—no dis abilities for, nor discriminations against, former political antagonists. We cannot and do not object to bygone differences, provided the citizen be truly and faith fully devoted now to the interests and in stitutions of the whole country, and all the inhabitants thereof Our object is not revolution, but res toration; not injury to our opponents, an assertion of our own rights and those of fellow citizens. Be order of the Democrotic State Ex ecutive Committee. WILLIAM A. WALL.scr., Chairman. REITA USABLE WOllKS.—Neneveh was fourteen miles long, eight wide, and forty mils!, round, with a wall one hundred feet high, and thick enough for three charri ots abreast. Babylon was fifty miles within the walls which were seventy feet thick and one hundred high, with one hundred brazen. gates. The Temple of Diana, at Ephesus, was four hundred and twenty feet to the sur face of the roof. It was a hundred years in building. The largest of the pyramids is four hundred and eighty feet high, and six hundred and fifty-three on the sides; its base covers eleven acres. The stones are about sixty feet in length, and the layers are two 'hundred and eighty. It employ ed 800,000 men in building. The lab yrnth in Egypt contains 300 chambers in twelve halls. —A negro Philosopher, discussing the relation of races said: " Yon knave de tur key, he roosts on the fence, an' de goose he roosts on de grotmd.

The successful life of Mr. JacokStmwn, `the prince of American fanner,, is at tributed to the close observance of the fol lowing maxims, originated by himself: When you wake up do not roll over but roll out. It will give you time to ditch all your sloughs, break them, barrow them,uniksow them with timothy and red clover. One bushel of clover to two bushels of timothy is enough. Make your fencing high and strong, so that it will keep cattle and pig out. It you have brush, make your lots se cure, and keep your hogs from the earn, for if the corn is kept clean they will eat it better than if it is not. Be sure to get your hands to bed by seven o'clock—they will rise early by force of circumstances. Pay a hand, if he is a poor hand, all you promise him ; if he is a good hand pay him a little more; it will encourage him to do still better. Always feed your hands as well as you do your-self, for the laboring men are the bone and sinew of the land, and ought to be well treated. I am satisfied that getting up early, in• dustry and regular habits are the best medicine ever prescribed for health. When rainy, bad weather comes, so that you can't work out doors, cut, split and haul your wood. Make your racks, fix your fence or a gate that is off its binges,. or weather boarding your barn where wind has blown the siding oil; or patch the roof of your barn or house. Study your interests closely, and do not spend any time in electing Presidents, Senators, and other smaller officers, or talking of hard times when spending your tune in whittling store boxes, etc. Take your time and make calculations, don't do things in a hurry, but do them at the right time, and keep your mind as well as your body employed. Young America at the WheeL A well known clergyman was crossing Lake Erie some years ago upon one of the lake steamers, and seeing a small lad at the wheel steering the vessel, accosted him as follows: " My son, you appear to be a small boy to steer so large a boat." " Yes, sir," was the reply, "but you see I can do it though." " Do you think you understand your business, my son ?" " Yes, sir, I think I do." • • "Can you box the compais ?" "Yes, sir." "Let me hear you." The boy did as he vras requested, when 'the minister said: " Well, really, you can do it! Can you box it backward?" "Yes, sir." "Let me hear you." The boy did again as requested, when the minister remarked: " I declare, my son, you do seem to un derstand your business." The boy then took his turn at question asking, beginning: " Pray, sir, what might be your busi ness ?" "I am a minister of the Gospel." " Do von understand your business ?" "I think I do, my son." " Can you say the Lord's Prayer?" "'Yes." "Say it." The clergyman did it, repeating the words in a very fervent manner, as tho' trying to make an impression on the lad. "Well, really," said the youth upon its conclusion, "you do know it, don't you ? Now say it backward." " Oh, I can't do such a thing', , as that. Of Course--" " You can't do it, eh ?" returned tho boy. "Well, then, you see that I under stand Inv business a great deal better than you doyours." Baptising the Baba Down in Woodbury there is a woman that is extremely de.if and her affection has caused a very unpleasant mistake, of which her infant child is the victim. She took this baby to church the other day to have Lim baptised. While she was wait ing in the vestibule she thought she would keep him quiet by feeding him .from the bottle of milk. 'While the child was tak ing its sustenance the mother was sum moned to the church with the announce ment that the minister was ready. In, her agitation she drew the bottle from the baby's month hurriedly, when the il e um nozze came off, and a pint of milk spilled upon the child's new clothes. When the clergyman took the child in his arms, he looked down at it, and asked the mother what name he should give it. She, with her mind troubled about the accident, thought he was asking how the clothes became soiled; so she answered: "Nozzel came off?" Rather surprised, he asked again for the name, and she thinking he did not understand her, bawled out: " Nozzle came off, I say r Whereupon that astonished divine pour ed some water on the child's head, and said: "Nozzel-came-off Furgnson, I baptise thee," etc., etc. What this woman wants to know now is, whether the legislature or something can't have that child's name changed to Henry, or Lnenllng, or William or some other more euphonious patronymic. FAT 31F.N.-It is striking fact that most persons want to weigh more than they do, and measure their health by their weight, as if man were a pig, valuable in propor-. film to his heaviness. The racer is not fat, a good plough horse has but a moderate amount of flesh. Heavy men are not those which experienced contractors em ploy to build railroads and dig ditches. Thin men, the world over, arq the -men for endurance; are the wiry atiii-hurdy ; thin people live the longest. The truth is, fat is a disease, and as a proof, fat ple are never well a day at a time—ore not suited for hard work. Still there is a medium between as fat as a butter-ball and as thin and juicless as a fence rail For mere looks, moderate rotundity is most desirable, to have enough flesh to corer all angularities. To accomplish this is the shortest time, a man should work but little, sleep agreat part of the time, allow nothing to worry iiim, keep always in• a, joyous laughing mood, and live chiefly on albuminates, such as boiled cracked wheat and rye, and oats, and corn, and barely, with sweet milk and buttermilk, and meats. Sugar is .the best fattener known. —Billings am: "Blessed is the man who can eat hash with a clear conscience, for his heart must be fall of pity. gal gditertionituto. HOL I DAMBLURIL!.VEINARY. Wiz'.
