true.
Mr. Hill, in a recent speech, said :
“The negro will drop out of politics,
or rather be will drop himself out, and
within Jim mart will rote Just at hit
employer atkt him."
A* a political prophet Mr. Hill is not a
success, but iu the above we think he is
eminently correct. In our own, and
uuuiy other sections of the state, this re;
suit has already been accomplished. Left
to themselves, with reasonable work and
plenty to cat, and free from the influen
ce of carpet-baggers, jaud turbulent, mis
chievous scoundrels of their own color,
they care nothing for politics, and will
always rot# with their employers. We
do not believe that the old Walioo him
self could control a 4o*«» oolored votes
in this county against the influence ot
the white people, nut even by resort to
bribery.
If the wlritus will deal justly and fair
ly with the uegrocH, and treat them
kiudly, iu a short time the elective fran
chise, which the ltadical party forced
upou the negroes lor the purpose of
holding the Mouth in subjection, will be
turned against them, carrying defeat and
d< slruoi.o,* lo thetr own party.
HANGMAN'S DAY.
Friday last, June 22, may very prop
erly he termed llauguiau’s l>»y. On
tfiui day six murderers were haugerl in
the U titled States, viz : lu Thoiuuston,
Me., Waguor and Oordon, White; in
Uriston, .IDO’S., Hcury Oastfey, wlute ;in
i)luni»»tu'J, y. C., I’euuis Buuch aim
Ueotge liardoiaere, ouloreti, ami in At-.
law hi, Uu., John I‘uriioy, colored.
This is, indeed, a sad record of crime.
I’ui'ifty and Jak; Stafford, uiioihei
negro, were urn»'.*■*!, tried mid convicteu
tot die murder .ol a Sir. I'tuioy, iu At
hmta. Stafford's lawyers, however, up

In connection wdJi i’urifoy's execu

not to say disgraceful cuuduct us his
spiritual udviser.r. It soenm that the
difficulty arose between Uio oolored
l’rotustaut ministers and the Cathol.o
Priests, us to whioli should administer
advice and cousolatiou to the doomed
inau in tiis hmt hours. Both Imve pub
lished cards of explanation which con-.
diet m nearly every important feature.
We, therefore, express l»o opinion op the
subject. The albur-har* created quite a
scandal io Dm city.
JDUIftU MAI .t-COSiV.-M I lO.’. .
The Btutc Conveulidim, recently bale)
,liy the Nor them mid Western Demo
emts, are reported to have been the
■orgeat ever held, and composed of tlic
purest and best men. The resolutions
.adopted urn patriotic and conservative,
.runt have the ring of the true metal.
There stems to be ouly one important
question upon w Inch lliere is a probubil
.ry of disHgie.-ineut, and Unit is the fi
nance question -expansion or coulruo
tion us die currency ; but, as the lindi
cai.r tun as badly split up on this quea
,Uun us tiie JfeimHgoJs, we capppt see
how thuy gre to make ipucli oapitul out
of it.
Here is,the substance of the platform
.of (he Ohio Democracy,:
Adherence to the pvincjples us the fa
thers of the Republic. Opposition to
the aggressions of either [Mover upon
tii e functions of eo-ordiuate powers of
UIC Government or the exercise of func
tions reserved to the people. Protection
of all citizens regardless of anything.
One President ial term and twenty-five
thousand dollar salary. No giants of
money, ere Jit. or lauds to schemes. Abo
lition of National banks. Issue of legal
.lenders to luevt the wants of trade and
• the establishment of White banks of dis
count and deposit nuder State regula
tions. Half the customs payable in le
gal tenders. Complete separation of
church mid State and no secular schools.
.Continued tyranny over and cjuelty to
■ he Southern Slates denounced.
And this js the lowa platform ;
The absolute prohibiten of military
interference wij.li local State elections,
and the peaceful assembling and organi
zation of Stale .Legislatures, except iu
a manner clearly defined in the Consti
tutitm, all officers U> tie hold to a rigid
accountability lor the .misuse of public
funds, or for the prostitution of their
i owns for private use; the reservation
ol all the legal rights to every citizen
w i burnt regard to race or color; the res
, vvatiutt of the public lauds for the ben
erh of actual settlers; restoration of the
rooidWltial salary to twenty-five thou
.. ,i d.iUiurs and.no third term; resump
tion ot specie payments as soon as the
!'ii! can bo doue without injury to the
luisim-ss interests of the country, ami in
tin-meantime a sufficient supply of the
national ouireucy for business purposes,
sal opjsisitioii to the present national
bunking law; a tariff on imports that will
I mint* the largest amount ot revenue
w ith the smallest amount of tax, anti no
bnpo.'itiou of duties for the benefit of
aowturers at the expense of agri
a...rai interests; repeal of the liquor
prohibition law and the substitution of
the license law, strictly enforced,
The platform closes with the arraign,,
ment of the Republican party, and an
invitation to ail.
The Maine resolutions are the same in
substance as the lowa resolutions.

Dorar* Branch, Lincoln Cos., i
Juue 16th, 1875. j
Dear Journal :
Iu my lost cuiuuii.imca.ticiu you would
give a caption to uiy desultory letter uud
fix upou its varied countenance a solemn
and religious aspect; and as you have
given me a subject I will accept the hint
and offer you a lew thoughts upon a sub
jeot the most wonderful and vital—para
mount iu importance to all others—in
which ell humanity have the same high
and startling interest. We live in a
wonderful age ol the world's history.
Light is pouring ru oceans upou man's
awakening intellect and opening up new
vista. of thought that fade into twilight
perspective along the dawning realms of
the unkuowu and the possible. Man ut
last is beginning to tbiuk for himself.
The Bible is fast unchaining itself from
the (logged creeds of churchmen sud the
emancipated soul of humanity, haggard
and care-worn, fresh from its thousand
years of chains and thraldom under the
reign of the despotic dogma, aud cruel
Priest-craft looks around it amazed at
the bright day of freedom that is iluwu
ing. Man rises iu the full consciousness
of z (tod-given reason and says to the
bigoted churchman, the crafty priest, “I
too have u right to think ! Am I not re
sponsible? Am I not immortal? Then,
you shall not think for me.’’
It ia to this recent and glorious disen
thralmeut of the mind and conscience of
Christendom, more than to any other in
fluence, that the great polemic disens
aions of the age have been begun aud
carried on (frequently) by writers who
belong to no purticulnr creed or church,
and it is under the stimulus of thin same
consciousness of moral emancipation
tlint 1, poor sinner, that I presume to
come before the public to discuss n sub
ject whose final solution will affect my
eternity of being us much us it does that
of the J’opc of Home, or the Archbish
op of Canterberry, and which discussion
1 have as much right to enter upon an
either of those grand potential powers of
thu church. But says one, you have not
as much right., because you have not as
much light. llow do you know I have
not? Who told you so? Who said "Let
there he light and there whs light?”
Who ban Hny let there be light and there
shall be light? God. Do not understand
mo as claiming an equal amount of brain
culture, oisouloulture, as those two grunt
aud I trust, good men. Yut, if Lay right to
think upon a subject that involves eternal
interests tins to depend upou the amount
of mental and moral illumination 1 nmy
ohunen to possess, aud to the high throne
of earthly influence! may olmnoo to occu
py, then I still sny that it nmy bo possi
ble, after nil, for one even ns humble amt
unenlightened as myself to predicate
some little right to think upon the pus
siblc oircmnstaoco, that 1 may, after all,
catch some of the mattering rays that
may olmuce to miss those great Viee
gereutsof Christ as light comes streaming
down fr.ni Heaven timing!? them to all
mankind, uml should my objector still con
tend against my l ight iu thu pro abacs to
think, aye, to tench upon a subject like
this, and say that Die people must ex
pect to get all their Ijgjit second handed
from Popes and Preachers. Wliy, then,
for Heaven's Buko let us pray these
grand illuminating machines to unscrew
their valves and let out upon the dark
ened world more of that light which they
are constantly receiving from above.
Mount Blanc may be hid in clouds amt
smithed with thunders, and the little
humble hillock far btduw iu the quiet
vale, burning like another Horeb. But
enough of this. I assume the right to
say something without stopping to prove
it.
Now what is nil this difficulty between
Scieppe pud Revolution—between Moses
and DorwtU —between Paul and St. John,
aud Tiudal aud Huxley. It is simply
(his: Nothing is historically true that is
scientifically impossible or improbable,
lu other words, uothing can be believed
that is‘opposed to the (so culled) "laws
of natiire” as human experience lins ob
served their operation. Or, to make it
still more plain ami simple, Christianity
■ a founded upou miracle. But a mira
cle is opposed to all the manifestations
of nature as we now behold them, and us
all past time lias recorded them, (outside
of the Biblical record,) aud lastly the
whole matter may be condensed in these
few words : Nature is known to be eter
nally unchangeable. Blit a miracle im
plies a change. Therefore a miracle
cannot b?, and hence Christianity foun
ded upon it must be a delusion.
Now let us examine this proposition tvs
it stands thus condensed. In the first
plaei, let us ask vvliat are the laws of
Nature but a God in action ; in foot the
so-called boasted laws of nature are
nothing but phenomena which show the
j way or manner in which God acts. An
abstract law is not power, is not force—
it is only a manifestation of the way in
which that power or force acts ; and it is
! not the highest presumption to say that
Infinite, Almighty Power from eternity
; to eternity, never ucteil under any cir
cumstances, at no grand era or epoch of
its goings forth, different from what
i poor finite man has lieen observing for a
few short years. f
01 Hume, there is no miracle with God !
; Could finite mind like yours but compre
hend
i His goings forth t>e;:iuning and the end—
' A Laxiru *f tnrlir.g from his putrid grave—
A tempest lulled upon Genessarett’s wave.
Would full os much accord with nature’s law
As that Pacific's wave should float a straw-
A miracle e'en, as it seems to man.
Is not in conflict with fixed nature's plan.
It bat suspends the uniformity
Os nature's laws, and this but seems to be
Becauscwe cannot take in God’s whale sphere
In the great—All—e’en this must disappear
Eternity in her vast sweep and swing
'Round God, gives birth to no such hideous
thing
As Hume would make a miracle to be.
Such monsters cannot live in God's deep sea.
Whether be shakes a world when Jesus dies,
Or feeds the young raveu when he cries—
Whether he sleeps on Galilee's wild wave,
Or waking, calms the tempest but to save,
Whether He makes a world where nun may
dwell,
Or comes in flesh to save that man from
hell.
The Tiudala and Huxleys aul Darwins
of the age call the developing power or
powers of creation "Evolution,” Natn ;
ral Selection,” “Persistent Force.” This
is the grand Trinity which Science woglt)
set up in the stead of the true and living
God. By Persistent Force I suppose is
meant that proximate, that immediate
power in direct contact with all the mov
ing molecules of the upisezse, giving
developing shape, life, form and motion
to ail things. But is this constantly ap
plied force, God ?Oh 1 no. In their
creed it is only a law impressed from
eternity upon matter. If they tay—if
they acknowledge that it comes origi
nally from God, but that now it is but a
natural force, disconnected with Him,
then they make Persistent Force a dele
gated power. But a being of lufiuitc
power cannot delegate it without de
stroying His Omnipotence. But He
must have been, even according to their
own creed of Evolution and Natural Se
lection, a Being of infinite wisdom to
have even, from the beginning, started
upon its wondrous course, this complex
universe, witli these forces forvver in
play, working out the grand aims pZ cre
ation. But if He was infinite in wisdom
He must have been also jn power. But
we have shown tlmt Huxley’s ami Tin
dal’s Force, or power, or God, which en
dowed matter from eternity witli
this Persistent Force delegated its
power, anil consequently parted
its omnipotence and ergo could, uotliave
beon the Great God. O I Science. It is
reasonable to supjxLso that ftnitu reason
cannot comprehend God. O! Huxley.
It is enlighted reason to infer that your
reason cannot reason. Faith, the Di
vnw reason, can only embrace God by
acknowledging the impotence of reason
to comprehend Him. N. It. J’.

Footing it our duty to protect i);o in

In the 11 it'll rfti re 1 1.0 the Col,, la

speak only of tiro brunch of trade repre

for we belong to the class spoken of in
such complimentary (?) term i by the
Col. tus—“pretty little S. M. Ag’t., witli
his moustache,” "swindlers, etc,
Ist. We wish to disabuse the minds of
our patrons and the public generally, by
stating, must emphalieully, that the
companies we represent do not discrimi
nate in favor of any party, or parties,
(Ministers of the Gospel excepted) os re
gards the price of our Machines; that,
wo have never made such ptXjPLsitions,
aud that oipr can only pur
chased from our Companies uud through
their regular Agencies for the sale of our
respective Machines, at published prices
ouly. That suoh parties have been of-;
sered Machines (so-called) -ut one-half
the price of ours we do not deny. We
have seen these boasting circulars, and,
found them to be for Machines that, by’,
reason of inferiority of material aud
mechanism, cannot otherwise comeHnto
competition tcilh ours. Such Machines
' would, if patrouiz -d, pro xe inuch dearer
in tlifl end than u first-class, or standard.

are employed simply us a merchant em

are wo swindlers. We thank cur friend
for the complimentof being pretty, tittle,

As regards ojirselvos >vc do not lay claim
to a very huge shore of either.
We admit the fact that the S. M.
trade, like everything else, is imposed
upon by men of but tittle worth, who
have tried and failed at almost every
eoueeivable undertaking. Tell us what
branch of trade is not thus imposed on.
It is equally true that there are eon

We advocate the cause of the Patrons

and are is fine condition. Corn, though
small far this season of the year, has a

are excellent. Fall oats are very good—

The following lines were written by a

sweetheart who was noon to be married
to his rival. The author, as will be seen,
labored under a distressed state of miml:
My Dearest Miss: I nm now spending

had rather see removed from

and see the stars fall from Heaven and
never see the sun shine than to experi

have I gazed upon the lightning flash of

some day to realize the plea, are of a
