There’s n Silver Lining to '!ou<!.
The Poet or l'riest who told'ua till a
Served luaiikind in iliv IndieWw.'iy ;
For it lit tip the earth with the star ui
That beacons the sonl witli ehecrfm ray.
Too often we wander, despairing and blind,
Breathing our useless murmurs aloud ;
But ’tis kinder to bid us seek and find
“A silver lining to every cloud.”
May we not talk in the’dingle ground
Where nothing but autumn'sdqpd leaves are seen ;
But search beneath them,andpeeriug around,
Are the young spring tufts of blue and green.
'Tis a beautiful eye that, ever perceives ■ **•
The presence of God in Mortality’s crowd ;
'l'ls a saving creed that thinks and believes
“There’s a silver lining to i *cry cloud.”
Let us look C-kmclv-J'etoijteiv J^ofideni n
P.ushVs that l>c»r fruit,
There may not leaves or stem,
But virtue may ilvvell far down at the root;
And let us beware how we utterly spurn
Brothers that seem all cold aim proud,
If their bosoms were opened, perchance we
' might learn
“There’s a silver lining to every cloud.”
Let us not east out Mercy and Truth
When Guilt is before us iu chains and shame;
When passion and vice have cankered youth,
*And Age lives on with a branded name.
Something of good may still he there,
Though itvoice may never he heard aloud,
For,while black with the vapors u; pestilent air
“There’s a silver lining to every cloud.”
Sad are the sorrows that oftentimes conic,
Heavy and dull, and blighting aud chill.
Shutting the light from our heart and our homo
Marring our hopes and defying our will;
But let us not sink beneath the woe,
’Tis well, perchance, we are tried and bowed,
For be sure, though we may not oft see it
below,
“ There’s a silver lining to every cloud.”
And when stern Death, with skeleton hand,
Has snatched the flower that grew iu our breast,
Do we not think of a fairer land,
Where the lost are found and the weary rest ?
Uli, the hope of the unknown Future springs,
In its purest strength o’er the coffin and shroud,
The shadow is dense, but Faith’s spirit-voice
sings,
“There's a silver lining to every cloud.”
Eliza Cook.
AY hat Radicalism Costs.
Here are plain figures which every day labor
er and every tax-payer can understand. “A
Laboring Man” writes the following to the Ban
g >r, Me., Democrat:
For four day’s work in 185 ( J I could buy a
barrel of excellent flour. For an equally pc ,J
barrel now I have to work eight days.
For one in 1809 I could buy 5 lbs.
of tea. For a day's work now 1 cun buy but
2 tbs.
For one (lav's work then I could buy 30" tbs.
of sugar. For a day’s work now I can buy but
15 tbs.
For a day's vroik in 1859 I could buy 8 Ibs,
of tobacco. For a day’s work now I can buy
but 3 lbs.
For a day’s work in 1859 I could but 15
•tbs. of coffee. For a day's work now I can buy
but 5 tbs.
For one month's work in 1559 I could clothe
myself and family for one year. To do the
same now, 1 ain obliged to work two months
am! a half.
I might thus go through the whole lift of
articles that a laboring man and his family
consume. The fact is that wo are permitted to
enjoy but one-iialf of the fruits of our labor;
the other half goes to the public treasury.
Is it not time for me and my fellow-laborers
io look around us. asceitain the cause of this
robbery of labor, and apply the remedy.

• The Tiger to Show His daws.
An officer of tho Northern army, who knows
Grant well, says that the people of the United
States little understand the peculiar mental
making up of this taciturn, gruni individual,
who lias no more sentiment than he lias intel
lectuality, and was born a brutal despot, lie
may be correctly read by the great world, if it
will glance at his inhuman slaughter of his
soldiers when ho traveled his terribly bloody
path along the banks of tho Rapidan, and on
to Richmond, lie is said to have not the
slightest degree of “gentleness” in his blood.
He is cold, stolid, heartless; and was as bated
by the rank and file of the army, in conse
quence of his lack of soul, as he was despised
by his officers for his ignorance and clownish
ness. This gentleman, who was an associate
v*f Grant during a great portion of the late war,
declares that if elected President of the United
States he will proclaim himself dictator in less
than twelve mouths, and play the despot over
the North as well as the South the balance of
his life. The country docs not know tho man.
Democrats, keep Grant where he belongs.—Aj

[Af • some further remarks of a local na
ture in relation to Racine as a delightful Sum
mer r -Lienee, lie continued :]
T>u: n, the seventeen .years I have lived
mi:mi- you, we hi*re passed through great
c:*s*r otir national affairs. 1 will enumer
ate . 4 of them :
We’lmve seen the repeal of the Missouri
compromise.
The attempt to force slavery upon Kansas
against the will of her people.
The dissolution of the Democratic Conven
tion at Charleston.
The election of Mr. Lincoln ;
The rebellion, and the attempt to break up
the Union by the Radicals or secessionists of
tho South;
The supprr - -don of that rebellion by arms,
at a terrible cost of life and treasure:
We have seen also the complete abolition
and surrender of slavery by the South, and
also the light of secession.
And we have seen also the plan of pacifica
tion proposed by Mr. Lincoln and continued
by Mr. Johnson, under the Constitution ;
And we have seen that other plan proposed
by Stevens and others, outside the Constitution,
called Radical i construction.
All these great qu stions have arisen within
that brief prriod. With paramount force they
have' demand.- and of every patriot an answer;
the answer of his reason, not of his passiua ;
the answer of an enlightened conscience, not
the answer of unfbrgivi ng hate or lust for
political power ; the answer of a statesman,
not of a partisan or of a dunagog'ue.
Without denouncing the character or motive
of those who may have differed with me from
time to time upon those great issues, I have
f it constrained to think, to speak, and to act
upon them all.
Yea i i-on-iL her how I opposed .the repeal of
the Missouri compromise, and the attempt of
the Southernßadieals, to force negro slavery
into Kansai against the will of her people,
t’veive yea' s ago.
A ;.J -1 .five years later, the Radicals of
the Louth plunged their States into rebellion,
you know how earnestly I pleaded against it;
how: I urged my countrymen, my -ous, and
your sons and brothers to sustain the flag of
the Union, and to maintain the supremacy
of the Constitution, until the last rebel in arras
surrendered. (Cheers.)
Those I -ties are now among the past.—
Thev no longer divide men or pa: tics.
And when, at length, the hour came, that
the S nth surrendered accession, and, with it
the institution of slavery, tho cause and the
occasion of the war, you know how, since the
war ceased, I have pleaded for peace, and for
equal liberty in the Union under the Constitu
tion, so: all the States and for all the people,
East, West, North and South: not for peace
with a bayonet at her breast—not for liberty
with a halter ttpou her neck, awaiting military
trial,'tSatmce and execution, under the recon
structi-m acts of Centres ; but for the peace
and that liberty which the-Con: titntion and the
common law secure—the only peace and the
only liberty worth having in this age and in
this fr. • laud. [Great cheering.] It is not
always that 1 have been cheered in this man
ner here in Racine.
You know what denunciations have been
heaped upon me hero and elsew here, for being
true to my highest convictions of duty and
patriotism. But I knew that my vindication
would one day come as certain as that God
rules in the Heavens, and that His justice has
not icft the earth altogether. [Great cheering.]
My friends, every day confirms mv opinion
of the wisdi n and justice of the plan ol paci
fication proposed by Mr. Lincoln, andreuewed
by Mr. Johnson more than three years ago.
1 have no more doubt than of my existence if
that plan had heen suffered to bo carried out
by Congress—
The States of the South wvnld have--boon
fully reorganized upon the civilized white ba
cs, and their representatives admitted three
year.’- ago. j Cheers. “That's so:"]
There would have been a more perfect resto
ration of harmony and friendly feeling than
is now possible for years.
The industry of the South would have been
restored, and with its restoration its great
markets would have been reopened to the
manufacture* of tho East, and to the bread
stuffs and provisions of the West. [Cheers.]
The exports of her cotton, hotter than all
the mines of the mountains, would have
changed in our favor the balance of trade.
Our six per cent, bonds would have com
manded a premium in gold in every money
centre in the world ;
Specie payment, without shock or revulsi u,
would have resumed itself;
Our financial troubles far easier of solution :
Our taxes less burdensome and our national
credit so fully restored that a four per cent,
bond would now command gold at par.-
[Cheers.]
My friends, just about one year ago 1 was
in Germany, at Frankfort on the Main. While
there, our bonds, bearing six per cent, sold at
73 ia gold, while the Loads of Brazil, bearing
only four per cent, sold for over 90 in gold.
That fact, which i have stated elsewhere, l
e:ui never bring to mind without feeling my
checks burn with •Inline and mortification.—
Why is it? Why is our credit lower than
that of Brazil ? It is simply because the Rad'
ieals in Congress would have it so ; because
they would keep the Union divided and the
South paralyzed. They would allow no paci
fication which did not disfranchise the most
intelligent whites, and force the universal,
unqualified suffrage of ignorant and half
civilized blacks; and that, two, upon the
ground, openly avowed, not that they wore lit
to vote, hut that their votes could he used by
Hie army and the Frocdniou’s Bureau to carry
those States for the Uadi al candidate in tho
next I’ucbideußnl election. [Cheers, and cries
“Shame on Throb a policy !”
But, my frieuds, it is said in Holy AVrit:
“lie that diggeth a pit shall fall into it.” it
may happen (n < under the providence of God
it often does happen) that this most unjust
.scheme of oppression, despotism, and barbar
ism will destroy its authors.
This deep, dark pit, thus dag by the Radi
cal Congress to secure tho ends of party am
bition, may he the very pit in which Radical
ism is to perish and be buried forever out of
sight. I Great and prolonged cheering.]
In Mississippi, Georgia, and other Southern
States the more sensible aiul civilized negroes
shrink b;n k from the collision with the white
race to which all these Radical measures tend ;
and they are by thousands, in spite of tho
Bureau, which has for a long time been a
mere political engine to array the blacks
against the whites to elect Radicals to office,
uniting with the civilized white men, their
old friends and masters, to saye the South
frym a terrible war of races.
There is now good reason tobcliefc that one
half of the electoial votes of these States,
unless the army interfere to prevent it by
force, will be cast for Seymour and Blair, the
Democrotie nominees. [Cheers.|
All the States of tho Pacific—one certain,
probably two, and perhaps three in New
England, with the great States of New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana, are regarded
as morally certain; While New Jersey, Dela
ware, Narylagid and Kentucky are with us be
yond contingency. [Cheers.] Illinois, Wis
consin. Missouri and Minnesota we expect to
carry, and our friends in lowa anil Michigan
give us cheering accounts, inspiring hopes of
victory there. [Cheers]
The ticket placed in nomination in New
York grows stronger every day, and, in iny
opinion, vill continue to do so until the great
cause in which we are engaged shall achieve
a complete triumph in November. [Great and
prolonged cheering.]
A train thanking you for this cordial greet
ing. I hid you welcome to my house and home.
Judge Thurman, of Ohio, and His Great
Speech.
The great question of civil liberty and con
stitutional rights now at issue must he mainly
decided at the North. It is there that the
appeal has heen made to the ballot box. And
upon the judgment rendered depends, in a
measure, our freedom in the present and our
hopes for the future. It is important, there
fore, that we should understand directly the
precise Lsues upon which the conflict is thus
conducted. It is with this view that we pre
sent some extracts from the speech of the
Hon. Allen G. Thurman, of Ohio. Judge
Thurman was the late Democratic candidate
for Governor of that State, and failed of an
election by a very few votes. The Democracy,
however carried tho Legislature, and by their
suffrage JudgcThurman is the successor iu the
United States Senate to the Hon. B. F. Wade,
the Radical President of the Senate.
As one of the loaders of the progressive and
constitutional Democracy of the Northwest,
his opinions aro important, as conveying the
sentiments of that great section of country,
and as defining the grounds upon which the
party contests the attempted sway of Radical
ism.
Regarded in this light we refrain from any
comments of our own, aud give full place to
such portions of his address as bear upon the
condition of the South, and its title to a res
toration under the Constitution handed down
to us by our fathers. — Ch. Courier.
SPEECH OF J EDGE THCKHAX.
(Extracts.)
We can form an idea of the impoverished
condition of the Southern States from the fact
that the County of Hamilton, Ohio, pays more
taxes than eight Southern States. What a
picture this makes of tho impoverished oon li
tion of these oppressed States. Give us the
Union again, .he union of hearts between the
people and treasury again. (Applause.) Say
to the men of the South you fought for what
you thought was right, and when conquered
submitted like men, only asking to be treated
as honorable men. Henceforth let us bo friends.
(Applause.) Henceforth you shall have pro
tection. Say that to the Southern people, and
they will have the heart to go to work, and
that land will .-oon blossom as the rose. (Ap
plause.) It is not six mouths since tho cry of
confiscation was heard in the halls of Congress,
uttered by that most persistent persecutor of
Letter people, Thaddeus Stevens. (Loud Ap
plause.) I appeal to you, farmers of West Vir
ginia, with w hat heart could you cultivate your
lauds if you expected tho next Congress to
take them aud give them to negroes ?
It is my solemn belief, if, when the Confed

magnanimously, as brave men should always
treat a vanquished foe, saving : “We fought

tee cause t" he lost, „e bu.y the hatchet for
ever"—we believe all would now have been
harmony and go, 1 feeling, without tho iuteg-.
rity of a single State Icing impaired. The
Southern States would havd bueto ready to beat
their words into plough shares, anxious to
follow the pursuits of pence. Had we acted
thus, today wo would have been more firmly
united than when the war began. I say’this
after mature reflection. The war hud the
effect of convincing both sections of certain
things they did not know before.' Some in
the South thought the people of the North
would not light. This mistake was corrected.
Thu people of the North, some of them,
thought tho Southern people were impractica
ble, and could not carry out extensive plans
of operation in a protracted war, and with all
their bluster, perhaps, would not fight so read
ily. This illusion was also dissipated by the
war. (Applause.) (ftp war convinced those
who held such opipiotfs of their mistake, and
made bdtii seetidßs respect each otlierT At
least such were the feelings of the soldiers on
both sides, and the people, as a general thing,
felt the same way, until those Radical politi
cians set themselves to work td* pervert the
souls of the people—until they commenced
their series of oppressive measures, introdu
cinpthc fourteenth amendment, which they
knew no Southern man with a spark of honor
or sell’respect, could for a moment consent to
vote for. Men could not be expected to write
their own dishonor In the Constitution of their
cou .try. Thoso Radicals knew it could never
bo adopted. They proposed it that it might
be rejected, so that they might have a pretence
to keep the States out of the Union and out
of the enjoyment of their rights. It served
its purpose. It was got up and used for the
purpose of putting the heel of the negro on
the neck of the white man. They abolish™
slavery that they might institute a political
slavery more absolute—that they might con
trol the negro vote to carry out their own par
ty purposes. They would not allow the ne
gjo to vote if they thought he would vote with
tie South. They did not extend that privU
lege with th: understanding that the negroes
were to vote according to their own instincts
or interests, but as loyal leagues, organized
and kept up by carpet bag adventurers. It
was actuated by no love for the negro.
The speaker did not believe the Radical pol
icy could continue. These men were the
worst enemies of the negroes in extending to
them the elective franchise. It was natural.
The white race never yet met an obstacle it
did not overcome. (Applause.) It was iin
pos3ilile’'to believe that the white race could
have itself ruled by a people the most degra
ded in i.-.rth. (Cries of “Never These
States were now ruled by negroes and a class
of men who could not get any kind of office
in the North. Suppose the people of Ohio
should import a Jot of negroes and white peo
ple from that State and turn some Bureau men
out of office ; suppose we should come down
here under the auspices of the Ku Klux, and
depose the officers of AVest Virginia, don’t you
think these men would find that somebody
else’s ox was gored? (Laughter andjapplause.)
But that is just the way the people are treated
down South. All history proves that people
could not bo governed this way; England had
tried it; they had tried to rule Ireland by
carpet-baggers as we arc trying to rule the-
South ; and to-day the cry of Fenian, which
Pat raised on American soil, made the English
throne tremble. (Cheer-.) Ilistory Punish"
ed us innumerable examples of the kind. Per
manent control could only be gained by the
“golden rule.” “But,” says a pious gentle
men, "why should we net treat the negro as
an equal; is he not a man and brother ? is ha
not of one blood ; our fellow-citizen ?” And
yet this man held his nose as he passed by the
negro. (Laughter.) “Has he not a soul?”
says another, who proves that ho haa no soul
by trying to cheat the negro the first opportu
nity he has. #
Judge Thurman thought it was in poor taste
to talk of injustice to the negro in not allow
ing him to vote, when cur intelligent and cul
tivated ••• ives and daughters were not allowed
.this privilege. AVhy should we place the ne
gro above our wives, daughters and mothers ?
There was not a record 'd instance in history
of a civilized negro government. The race
was as old as our own. They had enjoyed tho
same advantages, yet they had never organized
and maintained a civilized government. There
had never been an attempt to perpetuate a
government of mixed races which did not
signally fail. Look at Hay ti. When they bes
came independent, dissensions at once began
to spring up between the mulattoes und.blacks.
This i\ suited in a separation. The blacks be
ing in the majority, .drove the mulattoes to
one end of the island and they have ever since
remained thus separated. These people had
tried by turns every kind of Government—re
publican, military, and despotic—and they
were now alternately under the control of
contending generals, who vied with each other
as to how nitiny negroes they could mutually
kill. This nice did not have in them the ele
ments of civilization or the ability to maintain
civilized government, either by themselves or
mixed with the white race. • - - . •
Senator Thurman closed with an exhortation
to the people to work for the triumph of the
Democracy in the coming Presidential con
test.
