THE FUTURE 6T Pi,P.TIE8.
Front the North Aurorlcan.
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

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

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. Oar political creed
harmonize with the martial neliiovmeiiti
of our candidatos. .We. do not seek to
prostitute the popularity! of our candi
dates for tho purpose of securing the suo

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. .

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.
' HOGS IN THE ORCHARD.
One neighbor praising the fruit crop
of another, remarked that the land must
be in very good order. "The secret is
not In the toil," John replied with a
twinkle in his eye, "but on it. Do you

CLEANLINESS FOB PIGS.
In discussing the diseases of swine,
the Scottish Farmer sensibly says :
"We remember oneo of hearing an' .
old woman remark that 'sows just re- 't
quired as much care . and attention as
bodies,' and the truth ot the observa
tion is ooii firmed by the experience of
all the largest and most successful breed
ers of pigs in the kingdom. Without '
cleanliness and oomfort tho human spe.
cies cannot thrive ; it is rendered more
liable to all kinds of disorders ; and
kept in dirty styes, with Utile room and
bad vontilation, and ted out of filthy
troughs, swine languish, or, at the beet,
take on fat muoh loss rapidly, and are
moro likely to fall a prey to the first ep
idemic reaching them than If they had
met with kind aud liberal treatment."

Whnri the woather becomes frosty,- ,
out thorn off near the head, and carry1
them, with the green leaves on, to a dry
collar. Break off sUporfkoii leaves,
and paok into a tigtit Cask ot fro, stents
upward, and when nearly full cover
with leaves. Seoure the barrel or box
with a lid against rats.
All vegetables or fruits required for
wintor use, apples and potatoes especi

boxes in a dry cellar, with light and air1

to the freezing point as practical without
actually freezing, v -
