We (ain't think the Democracy Will di , it. 01 ' course they don't cure about riding tie Republic themselves. They never did want office—no, indeed, not they. We never knew one who could he prevail:2,llllam to accept the appointment of Post Ma-ter or Ifs nuininaiton for State Senator from any s, Irish motive. But, then, these are offices and rust be filled, and so great is the in nate patriot:sin it D.,,,,,,crutie pditwi,:n.,: so keenly alive are they to the best interests of t he community, so fully determined lua• they toil the offices shall be filled with the best 1111:11 in (i i imtry, and so fully assured are they that they are par excellence the best wen in the country that many of them dis play an energy in their efforts to '• rule" the country that would distance any negro that was ever born. So between the sel fishness of the Abolitionists and the un ceasing energy of the Democracy in their efforts to prevent the Republic from being ruled by any but intelligent, honest end patriotic individuals of the superior race, we are at a loss to in.agine who can be contend ing that the negro shall be the ruler in the Republic. It is scarcely worth while to pursue this subject farther. The man, and particularly the Democrat, who fears the competition of the negro, even should he be invested with the full rights of a citizen, must be a pour creature indeed. A race of human beings who number scarcely a sixth'of our popula tion, degraded by lung years of oppression and slavery, wit. out intelligence or educe 4176fireoming in contact with a race who have always been dominant and superior, and who have in their own hands every him-. ginable element, of power, arc - not in very imminent danger of being made the ruling, class in this republic, even should they be invested with the same political rights that are enjoyed by even the lowest and most de, graded. of white men. Yet the fr-seeing men who guide the Democracy have diseora ed tliiS dithger, and are now filled with fears. on account of an irrepressible conflict ue tweemthe races for supremacy. “Ift ease of a bloody , conflict, the inferior race Must :.I'riiy;ivlid`are going to be parties to tio“iopfliet ?

If we are, yon know very well by whom it will be prodtMed, hrid can judge l'airly how it will end. Once the Demoerao failed to foist their measures and their inen on all unwilling people, and hav ing failed, they resorted to treason and civil war. They may and most likely will fail again ; if so, will they repeat their former experiment? We hall regret it if they do, nail pray that the bitter lessons of the last four years may not be - unheeded by them. But if thi.y do, an inferior pa rig will soon perish from the earth.

Ile knew that he was living in defiance of the law of the land, and in disregard of his sworn ditty to his Government. He knew, too; that his own offence was one of the greatest known to the Military law, and from the punishment duo to it he had twice , cscaped only through the clemency of the officers. Ile had resisted, successfully every attempt to capture him, and had boastfully declared that be never would return to service.

ItCpork from illinoi. in relation to the ex tent of the damages sustained by the grain crop, fix the injury at a much lower figure than was anticipated In Wisconsin the crops are taming oct far better than •as ex pected, 1 - 1.4 they are threshed. Many fields of oats average seventy live bushels to the ;tore. The crops of corn throughout the country will be the largest ever gathered.

W. U. R. Erom Harrisburg to Mount Holly. Amusm•ao, August 12, 18(15. M Essas. EDI row-. : P'.•rhaps some of your reader., will be interested in a ride from Har risburg through the :beautiful Cumberland Valley to Mount Holly. We started in the early train, leaving Harrisburg about 8 o'- clock. TI - te air was cool, the ears new and pleasant, and Nature wore her brightest dress of green. We passed through a num ber of villages, the largest an : most flourish ing was Mechanicsburg. Some years ago 1 passed over this same route, and c old scarce ly now, in the busy time, recognize the quiet little village of former days. We saw in the distance the neat buildings of the Bar racks," and could see but few traces of "the burning by the Rebels," We arrival at • Carlisle about ii o'clock. It is a pretty tow n, with good substantial houses and wide streets, which are beautifully shaded. The greatest objection is the Railroad- passing through the prin• ilia' and handsomest street. The grounds surrounding Dickinson College' are green, and full of grand old tre-s. and the President's house, within the enclosure, is almost covered with beautiful anil luxuriant shrubbery. Via.',:looked for traces of the rebel cannonading, which, a little. more than two years ago, alarmed not only the citizens ; but the whole of Pennsylvania. Several houses bear marks of " shot and shell," and the First Church," a venerable looking stone building 'in the-centre of the town, had a hole in one corner where a shell - bad pone - tratedi but could' not enter. The hole . is POlnted opt, to visitors to show what rebels tried to de.. It seems wonderful that so little damage was done, when for live hours rebel batten(6 played upon the town, and shells were picked up in every street and field.— .We ate good dinner at the COrtnan Hmse, And afti4r,a.s..tinaftirtable nap, started with a Ititifjii - nib' of horses for Papertown. The road was 'good, the country rolling, and ninny of the views worthy of an' artist's pencil.— Wherever we looked, our hearts were glad dened by prOspects of plenty, and we won dered, with crops looking so well, rind gross so luxuriant, that even in this valloy,ltoo 7 - - "priacs are so Mount Holly, - or Papertown, As a Sinall, neat' looking village, with mountains coy-. ered with pines for a back ground. Ber n and' there, as "We drove along', bright,, rosy faces peeped from the doors and windows, to see the new-comers. We stopped at the ate of a large, home-like looking hoteL-L- The portice.was filled with gaily dreSsed - dies - r - and -- gentlemen — stood; sniolidd; and . lounged-around in groups.
