We entered the field atranist slwqry with a promise to fight it so long we could wield aspen. or articulate a word. But we frankly confess that, while weentered upon the contest at majority, no expectation of the abolition of slavery in our lifetime ever cheered us.

The negro -as a political power—has diSappeared, and this is, at lenigth, and for the first time, a nation of frecinen.

It is stronger than any other gate built of an equal amount of lumber, and its strength is equal upon both sides. 10. It is the cheapest, neatest, nod moat eon• venient and durable Gate in use. During the fell of 1865, the National Gate has received the highest award at SEVEN STATE and some SEVENTY COUNTY FAIRS, and in competition with other Gates, it has taken the FIRST PREMIUM in every instance. It challenges the whole list of Gates to a prac.. ttoal test, throughout all seasons. The National Gate has received the unquali• 'fled approbation - of all who have used it. Those Gates, including Posts, are built at a cost of $4 to $3, according to workmanship and material used.
