Tho Pkiohmonii Vhifir, nndor the head oi"D(iclin8 of tlio Ropnblican party,' tells Its realtors that tho Republican po litical organization had but ono string to its bow, tho abolition, of slavery, which being gone, the party ia done for. It the Whig founds its adhosion to tho Democrats on tho belief that tho Repuli oan organization must necessarily go to piecebecauso of the end of slavery, it is most cgicgioiisly mistaken. There nev er has uk is ted in this country a moro .compact, well-disciplined or enthusiastio party than ours, andoUn tfie past its adherents did not mind dofoat because of thoir devotion to principles, so in the future no reverse ot fortune and no dis. eouragoment can soa(t- .' tuera. TJftTa8" to having but one prinoiplet only those uomocrats whose wnoie at tention has been absorbed in the defence of slavery bolieve anything of that sort. The first national convention of the Republican party deolared "undying hostility to those twin relics of barbar ism, polygamy and slavery." One of the twins is dead, but the other survives, and the Republican party docs not mean to go into a decline until it has sealed its fute also. Polygamy has been al lowed to obtain a permanent foothold in an extensive territory, nnd to rear op their condition of society based wholly on it, In that community treason is as rife as at tho south. We do not mean to allow our party to depart this life until it has doomed this organization of sin and treason to destruction. On this question tho Democratic party stands imito, but is well understood to be in favor ot tho admission of Utah as a State with polygamy. The editor of tho Whig having been out of the Union lor four years, has probably-forgotten this little matter. Negro slaveryUsJpmshod by tho war j but peonage W nity and that, too, the Republican party is opposed to. It is the distinctive feature m New Mexico, and tho Democrats havb as yet given do sign of being in favor of its abolition, notwithstanding that it is the slavery ol .m.;n,-ot allraccs white,. .Uack, and rod. V.phe Vlcnublican Vu.,urUoofuJ?l true mid : evil, and means to do it. This matter is ol vital import ance, because peonage exists all over Spanish Amorici, and should wo at any tiino hereafter acquire any of .those countries, we should h'ivo slavery reviv ed unless wo now provide against such contingencies. As to the question oi negro Buffrago, the party has' as yet ta ken no distinct grounds, but it such blind guides as the' Whig can succeed in preventing the southern peoplo from granting the freedmen that equality be fore the law which is essential to their protection, then it will not be in povver of any one at tho north to arrest the in. evitable course of events. IM there are several other questions on which the Republican parly occu pies distinct and well defined ground, and whereon we find the Democrats ar rayed against it. 01 theso the chief is that oi protection to domostio industry by means of a well arranged tariff. It the Whig really inherited any share ot old Whig principles, it would know this without being told, and it would also know that the Democrats are for free trade. If the Whig choosos to iguore protection, it had hotter tako down its name, for proteolioa was the soul ot the Whig party. Protection is now the belief of the overwhelming mass of tho northern people, as it ought to bo of the southern, iu order to build up a greater diversity of industry than now exists at the south. The Chicago Convention of I860 declared for protection in an un mistakable manner, and the Baltimore Convention of 1881 confirmed the dec laration. On this question the position of the party is as well settled as v any thing can be. On the great question of the nations ality of the Ropublio, tho two parties are as widely asunder as the poles. We oontend that this is an indissoluble na tionality, the land and the people alike incapable of separation. On that ground we rested our cause throughout the whole war, and on that we have tri umphed. The Demoorats oontend for State sovereignty, which is necessarily iniinioal to nationality, and is but a dis guise for secession and disintegration. To assume that the party which alone oontends for nationality is dof unot, is to believe that rebellion has come off vic torious, and that the peoplo of the north repuut of having trono to war. Every Demoorntio State Convention has square ly come out for State sovereignty. Where we are la this matter' needs no definition. The war tolls the tale, and the Whig must bave lived through the WAYNESBDBG, last four years with its eyes shut to bo ignorant ot the position of parties on suuh a topio. 1 The Republicans have also a record and a toslimony against filibiutensm, just as the Democrats, ou the other hand, have a rooord and a testimony in favor ol it. Wo are one anHIT "oppos ed to theso piratical expeditions against Mexico, Canada, and the' Wot Indies and Central America, and we mean to savo tho American name from such dis grace hereafter, as our government has signally proven by its suddoa suppres sion of the Mexican enterprise. On this ground we plant ouraelvfcTul?ft'y- F'li bustorism ivus but the pioneer of slavery. Everybody at tho north knows that, and woaroall wide a wakotjjj 8toP " j a part of thb monster evd, against which we made war. The Whig may choose to Ignore this question in Vir ginia, but it may rest assured that here at tho north it is a live issue, and all men know thoroughly what it means. We are for a permanent peace with foreign nations, and an end to filibuster ism. Now, hero are several nSpics which the war has not ended, and we think we have shown that these live issues demand the continued existence and exertions of the Republican party, the position of which, as well as its oppo nent, may be seen at a glance', thus i Republican.

Those who wish to disband tho Re publican party, on the plea that it has accomplished its mission, should study this contrast, and see what would be the effect of breaking up the only organiza tion which guarantees internal and ex terual peaco, a proper enumeration to home labor, tho termination ot sootion al squabbles, and tho extirpation of ev ery vestige of human bondage aud Po lygamy. pA.Tn a tint? A.T, A XTrtL-' v. U1UATE3 AS THE- 'm'mi u ' ION AND COPPERHEAD PLATFORMS. From tho Pliil'a North American It is a striking and singular tact, that tho Union men of Pennsylvania have conferred almost all their nominations tor the best offices iu the gift of the pco pie, OU those who nobly stood up in de fence ot the national life. It may be insisted with some degree of truth, that the copperheads have also nominated soldiers for office. But there is this difference between tho parties ranking these nominations : Tho Union men are impelled to' this act of justico by gratitude to the soldier, while the cop perheads have seized upon soldiers who are willing to be used, in order to in sure tho success of political dogmas dangerous to the life ot tho Republic Tho Union men were ooutrolled by principle in their nomination ot soldiers. The platform on which Union men stand, is consistent with tho character of true soldiers iu consonance with the principles for whioh such soldiers con tended in battle with traitors in har mony with the oause of the Union and the Constitution. Not so, however, with the copperhead nominations. In every instance, the resolutions of copperhead conventions reflect discredit on the oause in which the candidates they nominate derive their elements of popularity. Thus, W. H. Davis would never have been nominated for Auditor General, had he not made some reputation as a soldier had it not been calculated by the copperhead faotion that he oould secure the support of inon who fought at his side to put down the Slavehold ers' rebellion. And yet the platform on whioh Davis stands declares the war in whioh he acquired the popularity fitting him for copperhead uses, to haoe been a brutal crusadt on Vie rights awf proper ty of the Southern people I Every sol dier who votos for W. II. Davis will thereby condemn himself as a mere rob ber and raider. Every soldior who votes a oopperhead ticket for county or State officers, virtually oharcterizes himself as a freebooter aol assassin. Evory copper head platform Insists that the war for the Union was an aggression on the sovereign rights of the Southern States. If this be bo, and it is confirmed by the votes of Pennsylvania soldiers, their plaoe in history cannot be other than is usually occupied by burglars and pi rates. Tho soldiers who vote for Can didates standing on platforms which charge the oause, the crimes and the suffering of the war on the National authorities, condonlu themselvos aud ar- PA WEDNESDAY, raugo history to securo their own dis grace. On the other hand, tho Uniou inon have not only nominated soldiers, but tliey have endorsed tho work ot the eoiupauioiis-iii-arms of our candidates. Our warrior candidates stand on a war platform. Soldiers o.in voto for the Soldier Union candidates without stul tifying themselves.

TWe is no use in concealing tho faotsi Niy there is danger in denying them. Anl while we refer to this most horrible afair in our own midst, we are reminded a similar bloody transaction in Lmoastcr county, whioh occurred only a day after tho in tended murder in this city.

To this young nun the youug lady's affections were very natu rally transferred in time, and she enga ged to marry him. When the happy day arrived, and just as the clergyman was about to pronouuee them man and wife, the lady fainted, anl on being revi ved forbade any further froceduro,as she said she had seen the spirit of ber for mer lover, aud ho was opposed to the match. She persisted iu her decision, and has since retired to I convent. A gontlomiu saw a nouoo of valuable information Bent to any address on the receipt ot ten cents, and '.bought that he musthave ten cents' worth more of know ledge, lie sent his dime, and rooeivod in answer the lollowing: "Friend, for your ten cent, postago, etc., please find inclosed advico which maybe of great value to you. As many persons are in jured for weeks, mouths and years by tho careless use of a knife, therefore my advice is, when you use a knife, always whittle from you." Brownlow's Endorsements. A lottor from Chattanooga says that a short time since Gideon J. Pillow sent in his appli cation for Governor Brownlow's endorse ment ot his petition tor pardon. He en dorsed it as follows: "Were I the Presi dent of the United Stales I would pardon him on the ground that nothing but his vanity took him into rebellion- " On an other application ho endorsed as follows : "This man deserved hanging before the rebellion, and he has done nothing since to lesson his chance." Great care should be exercised in the purchase of Government bonds to see that their numbers have not been altered. In several cases where bonds have been stolen their numbers have been changed by inserting two-additional figures, one before and one after the original number, in that way making tho bonds worthless to whoever shall buy them. The frequent thefts of these bonds that occur render caution on the part of purchasers es' peoiully necessary. . The party changes which the war. has mado aro aptly illustrated by tho fact, that Gen.

A man of genius can no more divest himself of freedom of opinion than of the features of hfs face. On Seventh street, from Pine to Carpen ter, irt Philadelphia, a distance of seven squares, there are n'ft'y-fWe houses in which liquor is sold. The proportion is one tavern out of every four houses. In the days of the draft a good, looking but boor young man married a rich old maid to get money to buy n sutmtfuite. That l'ul low muri-ied as a military necessi ty.

She feeds them, pets them up, dresses them on Sundays with velvet, and on other days in drab, kisses them and otherwise tenderly cares for them. As the battery was going into camp at New Haven on Monday, an old battery horse grazing in a lot, lioaring a bugle call, jumped the fence, took bis old posi tion in line, and moved out to camp with the battery. So much for force of habit. A few years ago there was a newspaper published at Niagara Falls, the editor of which was a Hind man, the compositors were deaand dumb, the press work was performed by the blind, the papers were folded by the blind, and wrapped by the mutes. The newest thing o'ut is "plumpers'' for hollow-checked damsels. The plumper is made of porcelain, pea-shaped in form, flat on one side and bulging out on the other. They fit on the inside of the ckeeks, giv ing'a round plump appeuraance; hence, doubtless their name. The standing army of the United States now consists of 18,000 regulors, 99,000 col ored and 100,000 white volunteers. Of these, about 160,000 are now in the field ; the others are absent on leave.

A swamp in Tuwksberry, Masaacliusclts,has been on fire for some time, and the combus tion having worked into a peat-bed eighteen to twenty I uches,' continues to advance. The roots cf the trees are burned off and they top ple over, adding fuel to the flame. Gangs of men have been at work Iu" Various places trying to check tho fire, but without success.

"How do you get along here ?" inquired the inspec tor. "Very well, sir," was the reply, "only the man in the farthest corner keeps boarders."

Though in genei al fowls, when in health, will become sufficiently fat by having plenty ot food, with air and ex ercise, yet they are somotimes fatted for market by keeping them in confine ment, with nbiiuJitnce ot food and little light, so tha. ia j;u:t, they have nothing to do but to eat. It U a common prac tice with some to coop their towls for a week or two, under the notion of im proving them for the table, and increas ing their fat i a plan which, l owever seldom suooeeds, sinco the fowls goner ally pine for their loss of liberty, nnd, slighting their food, loso instead of gaining additional flesh. Such a period is, in fact, too short tor them to become aooustomed to confinement. It takes several weeks to fatten fowls confined iu coops. The prevention of light, by in dining fowls to a constant state ot re- poso, except when moved by the appe tite tor food, promolea and accelerates obesity but such a state cannot bo a state of health, nor can the flesh of am mals so fed equal iu flavor, nutriment and salubrity that of the same species fed in a mote natural Way. Economy and market interest may, perhaps, be the best answered by tho place ot dark ness and close confinement t but a fuedor for his own tablo, of delicate tasto and ambitions of furnishing his own board with the' choicest and most salubrious viands, will declare for tha natural mode of feeding.
