Resolved, Thai tee pledge our support to the Constitution trained by the Vunstitu tutional Convention of this State note in session. Resolved, Thai ire present to the friends of Reconstruction in Georgia this Constitution as our Platform, and tee urgently request them to ratify it. Resolved, That ire pledge our support to the Ho.v. K. B. Bullock, our candidate for Governor, this day nominated. Resolved, That ire earnestly request the friends of Reconstruction to ratify the Nomination of the Hon. R. B. Bullock in their Primary Meetings, and sustain him by their vo'es. . THE CAMPAIGN. No one can overestimate tlic importance attached to the political campaign upon which we are entering. The respective hosts have chosen their leaders and raised their standard. The issue is made up. The National Republican will be found battling, in the front rank, for the Restoration of Georgia, for the new Con stitution framed by her representatives in the Convention at Atlanta, for new men and new measures, and, as a sequence, for the peace and prosperity of our people. “There's work for every man to do.’ To make Tire National Republican effective in the great work before us, we propose the following liberal RATES FOR THE CAMPAIGN: DAILY, single copy, 3 months SI.OO “ 10 copies, “ “ 8.00 The Republican contains more reading matter than any other daily journal in the State, including the latest news by mails and telegraph. If the editor of the Watchman is disposed to do us justice, as he avers he is, will he inform his readers, in reply to his allusion to our connection with the Daily Press, of Augusta, that we left that paper some time before it was changed to the Republican, and that during our connection with it, we did not control its political columns.— Southern Banner. We have nothing to do with the quarrel between the Watchman and the Banner. We car. stand off and fold our arms, and “view the landscape o'er”—but unto thou Simeon, whom we would “have gathered under our wing as a hen doth gather her chickens,” we have somewhat to say to this, at and one question to ask. It is this— “lf thoudidst not control the columns of the Daily Press and write its political articles, who did ?” Oil this wonderful Ben. Hill De mocracy. We think sometimes that the devil has incited men to form it lor the express purpose of keeping up divisions among them, and to befog the very “elect.” A fellow in raving against Bullock gets off the following: “As broad as the earth, as high as the heavens, and as deep as hell.” Just here we fainted, and couldn’t quite see the pint.—New Era. What enormous proportions either our candidate must have, or the recently made Democracy, the poor man’s enemy, the enemy of law, order, peace and quiet, the unrepenting rebel hotspurs of a people whose very life blood has been surrendered to pamper their vile passions of greed and ambition. Poor men 1 laboring men! beware of these wolves in sheep’s clothing. We tell you, in all truth and soberness, beware of them. They have led you into war, famine and pestilence; they have slain your first born, your fathers and your brothers. They would now lead you the second time into the same predicament. They wish to add robbery to murder and theft. Are you willing to trust them a second time? Answer ye this question to your own consciences and your God ? Quite a number of the Reese toot horns havo taken violent spasmsover Judge .Irwin's card announcing himself a candi date for Governor. Go it, ye scalawags.— New Era. Jist so 1 Pitch in ! don’t he scared ; no body’s, afeared-whopper! Go it, Reese— go it, Irwin! We ain’t got nary cent to bet on either of you, and don't caro a dried apple pealing which of you jostles or jockies the other—you can't scare our Bullock, for lie has heard it thunder and lightnen and storm through a series of years, and “feared no danger,” and it is too late in the day to atlempt the job now. The Madison, Monroe »nd Savannah paper* all endorse Judge Reese’* nomination most heartily. So far as heard from, there is but one voice trom the representative press of Georgia —Macon paper. ‘‘The representative press of Georgia/' in shorn. Torn, unless you mean that portion of the Press who have been controlled, and are now undcrthe control of the last spawned progeny of the so-called National Demo cracy of this State. True, oh, King! We claim the Republican to be one of the “Representative Press” of Georgia, “and we do not endorse the nomination of Judge •Reese, ss much us we may personally respect the man. [From tho Atlanta Maw Kra. SPEECH OF GOVERNOR JOSEPH E. BROWN. Delivered at Marietta, Go., Wednesday, .Van* 19th, 1868. " \ Tits UKCKI'TIOX or BKX. BILL, THE GREAT SO CALLED DEMOCRATIC LEADER. Tho National Democratic party of Geor gia, so called prose pis a peculiar medley, when n« constituent elements are examined. Its acknowledged leader is Benjamin IL Hill, who has spent nearly all of his poHti cal life in bitter denunciation and Titlifica tion of the Democratic party. If the prosent so called Democracy stood by and defended the priuciples ot the old State Rights De mocracy, including the doctrines of State Sovereignty, the right pi secession, oppo sition to high tariff, v internal improve mcnls, etc., lie would probably fight it still. He certainly would if his interest was on that side. But ho is not alone in the championship of the new party that has assumed the name of Democracy without endorsing its priuciples. Judge Reese, the Democratic candidate for Governor, is a life long enemy of the old Democracy. Gov. Jenkins, the martyr of the present party, whose conscience would not allow him to pay out money from the Treasury appropriated by the Convention of 1867, called under an act of Congress, in viola tion, as he says, of the State Constitution of 1865, but whose conscience did allow him to receive money from the Treasury, appro priated by the Convention of 1865, assem bled under an order of the President of the United States, in violation of the old Con stitution of the State, which ho had often sworn to support; I say Governor Jenkins, who suffered martyrdom upon a false issue, and in support of a principle which he had been one ol the first and most prominent to violate, is another leader of this new-fledged Democracy. Who are its otheg prominent leaders? Judge Cabauiss, General Ranse Wright, Warren Aiken, and that old calum niator of the Democratic party, Sneed, for merly of the Savannah Republican, uow of the Macon Telegraph. These are now your Democratic leaders, while Howell Cobb, and that class of Democrats, are assigued to back seats among the so called. I make the above allusions to the present Democratic party and its leaders, as a set off to the attacks made by tlfoA who now claim the name Democrat, upon old line Democrats, who do not see the old issues in this new organization, *and do not feel bound by party allegiance to fall down and worship these strange gods. While noticing this New Democracy, I must examine the late extraordinary speech delivered in Atlanta a few days since by Ben. Hill, its acknowledged dictator. Like all others of Hill’s speeches, it is pro nounced by his followers his greatest effort. As usual, he acts Sir Oracle. He laments over the depravity of the times, the cor ruption of the people, and the fact that bis audience love falsehood and deception better than truth. He alone is pure and undefiled, a prophet whose vision is unerring —who predicted all our ills, but a perverse peoplo would not heed his sage counsels. A garrulous old lady, who, when misfor tune occurred in the family always claimed to have predicted it, when told one morning by the liusbaud that the cow had eat up the grindstone, promptly replied, “I told you so.” So with Ben. Hill. No matter what new calamity befalls us, he is always ready to replv “J predicted it.” But to the speech : Mr. Hill says: "My friends, a political lie is the worst ot all lies, and ought to be held more infamous than all others. He who is guilty of it ought to receive the frown, and scorn, and condemnation of every man and every member of society.” In a subsequent part of the speech, while commenting upon the Constitution now submitted to the people for ratification, he refers to that p.rt of it which provides for the election of one Justice of the Peace in each Militia District, and assumes that negroes have aright, under the Constitution, to hold office, and that in lower Georgia the Justices of the Peace will be negroes. He then calls attention to the fact that the justices have jurisdiction in all cases where the amount does not exceed one hundred dollars, and assumes broadly that there is no itppeul from the decision of the Justice, when the amount does not exceed fifty dollars. He evidently intends to produce the impression upon the minds of liis hearers that the decision of the Justice is final and conclusive. I quote his reiter ated assertions, and you can judge. He says: “That Justices of the Peace shall have jurisdiction in all civil cases, where the amount does not exceed one hundred dol lars, and observe, in all cases when the amount does not exceed fifty dollars, there is no appeal.'' Again : “ And if that claim should not exceed silty dollars, he is subject to that negro’s decision, without even the right of appeal." Again : “And when less than silty dollars, it shallbs without appeal." And still again : “Those men who owe large debts can afford to go to the higher courts, while those who are comparatively poor, have no appeal whatever, and must take the decision of the negro.” Who can examine this language and doubt that Mr. Hill’s intention is to produce the impression his audience that the decision of the Justice, in cases under fifty dollars, is binding and conclusive, without the right to have the error corrected in a higher court. Remember, geutlemen, a political is the worst of all lies. Now, what ate (he facts. Heretofore the Justices of the Peace had, under the Code of the State, jurisdiction of amounts not exceed ing fifty dollars,jind there was no appeal to the Superior Court, in the technical sense of the term, but there was an appeal in sub stance and in fact; as any decision of the Justice complained of as erroneous might be carried to the Superior Court by a writ of certiorari, and the error, if any, be corrected. It could not then be said there was no appeal whatever from the decision of the J ustice. Well, what change does the new Constitution make? It extends the jurisdiction ot the Justice of the Peace to one hundred dollars, and gives an appeal, in the technical sense of the term, to the Superior Court when the amount exceeds fifty dollars ; that is, allows the party to enter on appeal, like he can now do in the Court of Ordinary, for instance. But in cases that do uot exceed fifty dollars, he is left to the old mode of correcting the error by certiorari. This right of correcting errors in Inferior Judicatories, by certiorari, is expressly given to the Superior Courts in unothcr section of the Constitution. The remedy is just as complete in the one case as in the other. The only difference is In the manner of tho appoal, or the mode of carrying the case up. In either case the party aggrieved by tho decision of the Justice, lias a full, complete remedy, and may carry up the decision, and, if wrong, have it reversed and set aside by the Supreme Court. Mr. Hill is a lawyer, and well knew this when he was delivered of tho utterances above quoted. Judge yo of the motive, tint do not forget thut u political lie is the worst of all lies, and that “he who is guilty of it ought to receive the frown and scorn, and condemna tion of every man and of every member of society.” Probably Mr. Ilill niado the above state ment with the low opinion of the people and of his audience, which is pictured in tho following quotation from the same speech. He says: “The great difficulty of tho times is this : the people have no regard lor truth ; they have no love of it—not a particle. You think less ot n man who notoriously and avowedly engages in deception, provided it be a politician, than you do of a Christian gentleman. I rather think you thiuk more of deception than you do of truth, and that is the reason why so much deception is prac ticed." Acting upon this belief, no doubt, Ylr. Hill undertook to practice the above unblushing deception. But I think he mis took and underrated both the intelligence and virtue of his audience, and of the people of the State. Taking this as a specimen of the fairuess and candor of thq speech, you will have no difficulty, gentlemen, in putting the peoper estimate npon the whole produc tion. [continued to-morrow. | OUR LATE VICTORY IN NEW HAMFSHIRE. Speeches by F. J. Filhian, Gen. Sickles, and Gen John Cochrane. An immense deputation of the citizens of New York tendered Major Gen. Daniel E. Sickles the compliment of a serenade on Saturday evening, in acknowledgment of his eminent services during tho recent campaign in New Hampshire. Among those partici pating in the affair were Gen. John Coch rane, Gen. Tremaine, Gen. Watts DePeyster, Col DePeyster, Ira O. Miller, Mr. McKinney, Major Haggerty, Freeman J. Fithian, Col. Morgan, Gen. Graham, James Culver, Alex. McLeod, Charles S. Spencer, J. C. Hunt, and others well known in the Union ranks. The procession, headed by Robertson’s band, reached'the Brevoort House—Gen. Sickles' headquarters—about 9 p, m., and after the band had discoursed a number of patriotic airs, and numbers of cheers had been given for Geu. Sickles, tho meeting was called to order by Judge Filhian, who made a few re marks, and introduced Gen. Sickles, who spoke as follows : Mr Friends: Although for tho past seven years I have declined to take part in mere political controversies, I am glad to receive you here to night, and to mingle my congratulations with yours upon Uie result of tho recent canvass in New Hamp shire. That signal triumph has engaged the attention and awakened the enthusiasm of the patriotic masses throughout the Union. The intrinsic weight of New Hampshire in the public councils is not remarkable; nevertheless her voice will now exert an extraordinary influence upon the transactions destined to make this year an epoch in our history. All parties by common consent appealed to New Hamp shire for its verdict. [Applause.] The people of New Hampshire are patriotic, intelligent, and conservative. Parties had been quite evenly balanced in the State for several years. The elections of 1807 in other States had not turned upon the ques tion now of vital moment. Ihe opposing forcas in New Hampshire were marshalled by favorite leaders. The President was represented by Mont gomery Blair and Senator Doolittle. The peace Democrats were represented by the eloquent Voorhees, Woodbury, and others. O’Gorraon representing all the ecomomy in public expenditures [laughter], the uncom mon low taxes, and the decorous legislation which distinguish the municipal government of this city—[laughter]—endeavored in vain to persuade the frugal population of a New England State to extend that sort of admin istration to Concord wild Washington. In the service of the coalition between the Administration, the Democrats, and the Rebels, Executive patronage was given without stint and promised without scruple. The National Committee of the Democratic party levied contribution upon their partisans all over the country, and supplied abundant means for the contest. No possible effort was spared to secure a triumph, aud seldom had success been more confidently antici pated. The published estimates of the Democratic State Committee ostentatiously claimed a majority of thousands. It .was known that our vote would be diminished, because considerable numbers of the native population had emigrated to the West and South. It was known that the opposition had naturalized a great number of foreign ers. The most artful appeals were made to excite distrust among the population. Every vote that could be reached by venal interest was secured by lavish expenditure. On our side, General Ilarritnan—[cheers] —our candidate for Governor, carried the same flag he gallantly followed through the war. [Cheer.-.] On it was inscribed an auspi cious name, a name ever synonimous with our cause, and with honor, and with victory —the illustrious name of Grant. [Loud cheer .] At the roll of the drum and the sound of the bugle, our colors were unfurled and the Boys in Blue rallied, and advanced leading the long line of battle from the mountain to the sea, and victory was ours. [Cheers.] Seven years ot sacrifices have not shaken the fortitude and constancy of tho people. [Cheers.] The result has no commonplace significance. It is an em phatic declaration that no institution, no party, no man shall stand in the way of the execution of the will of the people, when that will has become the law of the land. [Cheers]. In the great issue presented in the pend ing contest between the legislative and the executive power, the first State which has spoken sustains its Representatives in Con gress. [Cheers,] New Hampshire in elect ing Harriman voted for Grant. [Cheers,] The policy, and the leaders of the Union party are announced. In March we have carried New Hampshire; in April Con necticut will follow. In May the controversy between the President and Congress will terminate as according to right and justice it should terminate. [Applause.] And before the Ist of June the Convention of the people who put down the rebellion will present the name of Grant as their choice for the Presidency. [Cheers.] If these are Radical triumphs, then Donelson, Vicksburg, Gettysburg, Winchester, Atlanta, Appomat tox Court House, and the naval victories of Farragut, Porter, Winslow, and Worden, are all Radical triumphs. So be it if others will have it so. (Cheers.) The people sustain Congress, the exponent of their will and the custodian of their power. [Cheers.] The people sustain Stanton, a statesman of the old Roman type—stern, steadfast, and true. His genius, symmetrical and staunch, like the arch—the more pressure his adver saries put upon him, the more he can bear. The people sustuin Grant; they see in him the man for the occasion. As the second inauguration of Lincoln in 1865 terminated the war, so will the election of Grant in 1868 settle peacefully on the basis of justice all the disturbing questions which have been precipitated upon since hostilities ceased. [Loud cheers.] He is— “Our greatest, yet with least pretense, Great in council, groat in war, Foremost Captain of his time, Rich in saving common sonse, And, as tho greatest only are, In his simplioity sublime; Who nover swerved from truth to serve the hour Nor paltered with Almighty (fed for power; Who let the turbid streams of water flow Through either babbling world sf high or low ; Whoso life is work, whoso languago rife With rugged maxims hewn from lifo. Ho on whom, from both her open hands, Ravish Honor showers all her stars, And affluent Fortune empties all her horn. Yes, let our highest honors wait On bun who cares not to bo groat Hut as lie servos or saves the .State, Then let a people’s voice In full acclaim— A pooplo’s voice, The proof and echo of all human fame— A people’s voice when thqy rejoice, In oivio revel, pomp, or game, Attest their great Commander’s claim.” Loud cheers, during which the General retired. LOUIS XIV AND MODERN DEMOC RACY. Perhaps the greatest piece of executive insolence known in eiodern history was that of Locis XIV, who went with a whip iu his band to the Parliament of Peris, and forbade them to exercise the last remnant of their power—namely, the right of remonstrance. As Madame ae Stael truly observed, this King could never conceive the idea of a nation, nor imagine any property to exist in France which did not belong to him, nor entertain a respect for anything but himself. Considering the difference of time, and the fact of a prevailing opinion in those days in favor of the divine right of Kings, Andrew Johnson’s high-handed assumption, as tem porary exeentive of a representative republic, is no less insolent and defiant than the act of the French monarch, whose political axioms are the accepted creed of the Demo cratic party. The iufluence of Louis XIV on the poli tics of our own days has not beeu suffi ciently noticed. As it was the policy of his celebrated minister, Cardinal de Richelieu, to consolidate ail power in the hands of the King, to break the independent spirit of the nobles, and by every device to extend the foreign influence of France, so has it been the effort of the monarchist at the head of our State Department to accomplish the same ends since he has been in possession thereof, with a view to the ultimate over throw of tree government. As Louis XIV broke the power of his nobles, and made courtiers of them, so that they were willing to open the coach doors for his mistresses, so has Andrew Johnson endeavored to break down the independent spirit of officers of the Republic, subordi nate their opinions to the c .prices of his will, and use the vast patronage of a Government greater than France, to carry out his policy. A member of his own Cabinet, with no other salient point upon which posterity could rest, has immortal ized himself by the declaration, “That no man shall eat the President’s bread and butter who does not support his policy.” If the divine right of kings ever begat baser servility than this, then we admit that the divine right of Presidents has not yet culminated, but still awaits Andrew Johnson’s triumphant vindication before the Senate by an acquittal, to make that office substantially equal in prerogatives to those claimed by the Stewarts and Bourbons. “I am the State,” said Louis XIV; “I am the representative of France," ex claimed Napoleon; “I am the representa tive of the people,” said Andrew Johnson. The ruling demagogues of the French Reign of Terror; the ruling demagogue of the Democratic party ; the imperialists who worship the one-man power in France ; the vicious combination of political nondescripts, called by all names, but under whatsoever name, black-hearted with treason, who wor ship the one-man power in America, are all disciples of that overbearing and unprinci pled school founded by Louis XIV. They follow the same principles of policy under the name of liberty and republican forms. That equality which was once their boast, is shown to have been only an equality ol despotism. The sensual and the dark rebel in vain— Slaves bv their own compulsion; in mad game They burst their manacles, and wear the name Os freedom graven on a heavier chain. INVOLUNTARY BANKRUPTCY— IM PORTANT DECISION. An important decision has been given lately at Troy, by District Judge N. K. Hall. 11. 13. Clafiiu & Cos., of New York, petitioned that A. L. Wells and A. L. Wells, Jr., be adjudged bankrupts. The grounds of tho petition were two: A. L. Wells <Ss Son made an assignment of all their property last March, “with intent to delay and hinder their creditors.” At the same time they sus pended business, and did not resume pay ment of their commercial paper within a period of two weeks. The court held that the assignment haviug been made by in solvents against whom suits had been brought and judgments obta'ned, and whose intent was to secure the common and equal benefit of all their creditors, is not void under the statute of New York, which avoids conveyances made with the intent to delay, binder, or defraud creditors; and, notwith standing Ihe provision ot the thirty fifth seetio.. of the baiCrupt act, that a sale, assignment, transfer, or conveyance not made iu the usual courso of business of the debtor is prima facie evidence!*of fraud, this assign ment—haviug been made under such cir cumstances, and with such intent—was not properly an act of bankruptcy. The Court held that the second ground of the petition was sufficient to entitle the petitioner to an adjudication. There-is some doubt about the construction of the clause which authorizes proceedings ad invitum against any person " who, being a banker, merchant or trader, Has fradulent ly stopped and suspended payment, and not resumed payment of his commercial paper within a period of fourteen days.” It is claimed by some that proceedings cannot be taken under the clause unless the original stoppage or suspension of pay ment is shown to have been fradulent. The Court, however, agreed with the United States District Court of South Carolina in thinking that this clause contemplates two cases, the one of an original fraudulent stop page of payment in which proceedings may be instituted at once, and the other a sus pension of payment not fraudulent, and not, per sc., an act of bankruptcy, but which, if continued for more than fourteen days, becomes an act of bankruptcy by its continuance. The presumption is that a merchant of fair character, who is solvent and deserv ing of credit, can, by means of a temporary loan or otherwise, provide for resuming payment of his commercial paper within the fourteen days. How a Kuklux “Demoralized” a Dar key.—General Forrest tells an anecdote, in his inimitable style, of how one of those mysterious individuals known in Tennessee as “Kuklux,” scared a darkey out of ten years’ growth. By the merest accident, the mysterious fellow, with hideous mask and grotesque costume, arrived at a large spring just as a darkey came for water. “Give me a gourd of that water, uncle,” said he. The water was handed and immediately drank. "Give me another.” That was also swal lowed. “Uncle, hand me a bucket of that water; I’m a leetle dry,” which also disap peared ia the same way. “Look here, uncle, dip up that tub for me; I haven’t had any water since the battle of Fort Pillow I” But us tho Kuklux man was raising tho tub to drink it off, the darkey scratched gravel away from there. lie had a small India rubber sack run ning from his whiskers through his clothes to his heel, and had his foot in the branch. The Sopreme Oocrt yesterday granted the motion of the State ot Georgia for leave to silo a bill of complaiut against General U. 8. Grant et. al. The parties who have been active in bringing this case before the court expect it to meet with better success than the injunction case, which, together with that of Mississippi, was dismissed for want of jurisdiction, it is contended that tho present coso involves a question of property, which will bring it within the original jurisdiction of the court.— Wash ington Chronicle. Bonner’s now Ledger building has boon built water tight. This is quite ns necessary to provent damago from that element as it is to build a house fire proof. [From the Rochester Express. BOILS—“A COMPOSITION A boil is generally very small at first and a fellow hardly notices it, bnt in a few days it gets to be the biggest of the two, ana the chap that has it is of very little account in comparison with his boil, which then “has him.” Boils appear mysterious ly npon various portions of the human body, coming when and where “they darn please,” ana often in very inconvenient places, -ometimes a solitary boil is the sum total of the affliction, but frequently there is a “rubishin lot of 'era ” to help the first one. If a boil comes any where on a person, that person always wishes it had come somewhere else, although it would puzzle him to say just where. 30me persons call them “Damboils,” but such persons are addicted to profanity—the proper name is boil. If a chap bas a boil, he generally has a good deal of sympathy from others, ‘fin a horn. 1 ’ Whoever asks him what ails him, laughs at him for bis pains to answer, while many unfeeling persons make game of him, or lor his mis fortune, or boil. It is very wicked to make sport of persons with boils, they can uot help it, and often feel very badly about it. Physicians dout give boil patients much satisfaction as a general thing, although young physicians who are just beginning to practice are fond of trying their laucets upon them. Boils are said to be “healthy,” and judging from tho way they take hold, aud hang on, and ache, and burn, and grow, and raise Cain generally, there is no doubt that they are healthy and have good conslitntions. They are generally very lively and playful at iiigbt, and it is very funny to see a chap with a good large one, prospering around pis couch for a place where his boil will fit without hurting. Boils tend to “purify the blood, ’ strengthen the system, calm the nerves, restrain the profanity, tranquilize the spirits, improve the temper and beautify the appearance. They are good things for married men who spend their evenings away from home, as they give them an opportunity to rest their night keys and get acquainted with their families. It is said that boils save the patient a “fit of sickness,” but if the sickness is uot the best to have, it must be an ail fired mean thing. It is also said that a person is better after he hag had them, and there is ao doubt that one does feel much better after having got rid of then*. Many distinguished persons have enjoyed these harbingers of health. Job took the first premium of the County Fair for having more achers under cultivation than any other person. Shakspeare had’era, and meant boils, when he said, “One woe doth tread upon another’s heel, so fast they follow.” There are a great many remedies for boils, most of which are well worth trying, because if they don’t do any good, they don’t hurt the boils. If a chap goes down the street with a boil, every man he meets will tell him of a good thing for it, among which are Shoemaker’s wacks, Mrs. Winslow’s Syrup, Tricks, Spalding’s Glue, Charlotte R.isse, Gum Drops, Water Proof Blacking, Night Blooming Cereus, Chloroform, Kissengen, etc., etc. [For National Republican. A BULLOCK, Offered fob the Atonement for GEORGIA 1 IF THAT WON’T SAVE HER, WHAT WILL? Sergeant Bates left Augusta Mon day afternoon for Columbia, amid the con gratulations and good wishes of large num bers of citizens, who bid him good-bye. A Maeon paper has the above in its “Brevities.” Well, it is brief; but the large number of citizens who bid him good bye happened to be of a clftss who not only hates the flag he bore, but every other man who carries it, and may otherwise defend and support it. That’s so. The presence ol Judge Reese in our city created quite a flutter in the ranks of the faithful. —New Era.

It is also alleged that while the total land under dultivalion has decreased, the cultiva tion of the rest is better, aud the crops larger by an average of £3,000,000 a year than they were iu 1860 and 1861. The ex ports of linen and the railway traffic have increased, and the wages of the peasantry have raised fifty to eighty per cent, since the famine.
