FOR THE JEFFERSOKIAN. LOLA'S THIRD BIRTH-DAY. Three years to-day Our Lola May Has pouted or caressed us ; But for the care That we did bear I'm sure 'twas most she blessed us. At first she came, Without a name, A helpless little creature ; She could not stand, Scarce raise her hand, Or smile to change a feature. But now she walks, And skips and talks, And sings her little ditties ; And all day long Her talk or song Is interspersed with "witlies." O, what a change ! Though not so strange, Have been the germ-unfoldings Since Lola came, Without a name. To share our love and scoldings I Del. Water Gan, Oct. 23, I860. PAPA.

They call you black Republicans, and in one view there may be some sense in. tho epithet, for it cannot be denied that you are strongly opposed to tho admission of blacks (slaves) into the Territories, and I firmly resolved to reserve, if you can, the virgin lands, to be settled and cultivated and mado valuable by tbe free white and voluntary labor of American citizens, and thus build up communities of white peo ple free, equal and intelligent. But I think the Democrats better entitled than you to tho black adjective, for your claim is negative only, as you insist upon ex cluding the blacks from all our free Ter ritories, and show a decided unwilling ness to be associated witb them in your farming labors: while the claim of the Democrats is affirmative, and is proven by their constant efforts to establish tho rights of tbe blacks to go along with the whites into tbe Territories, and by the urgent desire of many of that party to augment the namber of tbe blacks by fresh importations frora Africa. In regard to the Governmental and o ooGomio view of the cass, an eminent Southern statesman has tersely said tbat 'Capital ought to own its labor." Cer tainly it ought and it does, whenever it is able and willing to buy its labor by pay ing honest wages for honest work." But I cannot see any greater necessity for capital employed in farming to own the men who do the labor, than for tho capital employed iu building houses to own the carpenters and masons who e rect them. But if I am wrong in this, and tbe dogma be really a true maxium, as applied to tbe laborers, still I think there is another aphorism quite as true and far more beneficent, especially in a new country, that is, Labor ought to own its Land. The main objections urged against tbe election of Mr Lincoln are not directed against him personally, for it is only a raising in ruueiuuu iu puo uuu Presi dent constitutionally and lawfully oho sen. If you have any such idle feare, I beg you to dismiss them at once, lest they lead you to tbe gross injustice of imput ing to tbe Southern States, or eveo to the body of Southern Democrats, the pur poso to commit a crime at onoe so wiok ed and foolish. Wo all know that there are in the South a few self-conceited egotists, who whenever they find the votes and the ar guments all against tbem appeal to our fears, by threats of indefinite mischief hoping to win a triumph over justice, rea son, and tho publio will, by sheer bully ing I tell you, my friends, that tbe South ern people are not guilty of that wicked crime and stupid tolly; tbey Know, as well as we can tell, that armed resistance A n n Inm ffl dent is treason: thev know tbat a Government that has J . . ... . .. not the power and tbe will to protect it- olf and enforce the laws is a poor, con- teaptible Government, and they espo- cislly need a Government strong enougb to protect all .its people. 1 bey Know that armed resistance to a lawful Presi dent is but the beginning ofcival war; Bnd cival war, as our people are now di. vided, would be sure to run into sooial war; that is, a war in States, counties, hborhoods: and then what human power could prevent the horrors of a scr- vilo wnr.

Knowing our earnest devotion o the Union, and our willingness to make great sacrifice to preserve it, the plan of intim idation is still pursued, and appeals are still made to our fears, and men do it who ought to know better, and do know bet- ter; but acting upon the maxium of mor- al philosophy, as taught in the Court of King Charles the Second, they assume as are cowards; all men should and all the subject matter of debate judgement and conscience, and drive them to vote for some other candidate to whose support they could never be brought by any motivo more respectable than Fear, at best, even when genuine and honest, a debasing passion, and making men do a great many things, which, when the fit is ! on. they are asnamea or. xut iear, un real and feigned, simulated only as a cover and excuse for some mean action, is despicably vile. Hypocrisy, even when it pretends to be virtuous and brave, is bad enough, but the hypocrisy of fear and cowardice is tbe last poor artifice of conscious imbecility.

"Diptheria And its Cure." Oar attention has been called, by s medical gentleman, to an article under' the above caption, in yesterday's Patriot and Union, which he says may do dam age, if acted upon without some qualifica tion. In common ulcerative sore throat, the prescription recommended would an swer a very good purpose; but in true diptheria it would be of no use whatever; and it would also bo in tbe way of reme dies that are more efficient and reliable. There is. say8 our medical friend, a vast difference between ulcerative or inflam matory sore throat and trae diptheria. The first i a local disoase, and when not complicated will, in the great majority of cases, get well without any medical treat ment. The latter is a constitutional dis ease, attended with a peculiar local affec tion of tbe throat, witb which many die under the most skillful manaj;ament. Common ulcerative sore throat generally ... . ... . . jjttie j.;rj Q a neighboring township, was attended by a physician five days before he discovered that she had diptheria, and thon only to see her die from an exten sion of the false membrane into the wind pipe. If there is any remedy for this disorder, it must bo promptly used in the the very first otage. There must be no delay no tampering. The physician should use bis most efficient remedies on the manifestation of the first symptoms. We have no doubt there are remedial a gents known to every scientific physician wbo j8 conversant with tho subject, which, e Dr0mDtlv used, will lesson tho mortali ty from this alarming disease. iiet us, then, caution every individual, in times like the-e, when tbe disease is rife in nearly all communities, to bo on his guard. Trust not to empyrical prescrip tions. On the least appearance ot sore throat go to a regular physician of es- tsblished professional reputation, and have y0Ur oase thoroughly examined and promptly treated. lb.
