Not only the patronage of ecü of the states wag arrayed against them, but the patronage of the Federal Garerament wis in tbe hands of men who used It unblashingly againn the policy of tbe Presideet, and to perpetuate ultra radical Republican rule. Such were the circumstances under which the Democracy entered the contest. and if they did not triumph, the result presents a most gratifying irideace to encourage dorction to sound principles and metsures of public policy Four yesrs ago Joux Etoiuu was elected GoteroorofOhioby 101,000 mjo'rity,whi!e Cox'e tna- . .

The result in Iowa is almost equiralent to that in Ohio, and the Democracy of tbe Keystone State, if they had busk Ted oa their working harneas. might today be rejoicing in a triumph orcr tbo enemies or a true Constitutional Government.

The folio in, from that red hot radical aheet.the Chicago Tribune, is a very significant and truthful article: " Hrown sheeting are selling for thirty five cents per vard, and raw cotton for fortv-three rente per pound A pound of cotton will make three yard of sheetings. The pound of cotton. costing forty-three cent, upon being put through the mill developce into rnc hundred and five cents worth of aheetings, showing a difference of sixty two cent, to be divided between ruanufaeturing profit, wages of operatives, weir of maebiuery, eommisiions of agents and government tax.

The test race waithit made fur the cflice of Sheriff, and although the Demo rratic candidate waa defeated, there is no doubt he has decreased the majority of the opposition, which at the lat ireucral elecliuu was about tix hundred. CuuHiueniJir all tnj circum-stancd. we see uo reason for diicouracement on our part. With out tbo aid of money, and in tbe rjuietcrt elec tion erer conducted in the couuty, Mr. Cjx ba reduced a majority of a half a thousand down to one or two hundred. Let tbe Democracy but shake eft erery semblance of apathy, and begin at once the work of thorough orgnoixition, ai d our success at the next lull election will be se cured Evansrllle Courier. routrurtlon The general extectatioa that the funding of the fifty million, recently anuoursccJ by the Secretary of the Treasury, would lead to a con traction of the currency, lua produced this efl'ec iu anticipation ot am auch result from the pro cess of conrersiou. It is propable that the oat ural effect of the change, if it had not been pub liclj heralded, would scarcely bar beeu felt ercQ ia fiuincitl circle. Tbe certificates of ia debtedneas. to which the urdor-was extended hvc ncTcr circulated ad inooey, and mizht all be withdrawn without leading to any contrcc tion. The compouud interest notes did circulate freely at first, and even after several months in tere.t bad accutuulatod upon them they were paid out by individuals and baukd in preference to tue ordinary greenbacks, which were held in higher estimation. Of late, however, they hare been boarded, and too stronger banks bare picke them up and laid them by a.s an inrefctmeut. The secretary offers to receive them at par, and a! low all tbe accumulated interest at the torn pound rate, but charges a premium of three per cent, on tue bonds given in exohange.

To despen this impression it is confidently asserted by many that tbit is the eommencement of policy ot contraction which is to bo pursued until tbe volume of paper money is reduced tj the old limit. We have little hope of such a healthful movemeut. It requires more courage than csn be expected from the political leaders of any party. nor uo we tee auy indications of an inteutiou on the part of the people to insist upon the experiment Ua 'ho contrary, the inoet noted of those who have heretofore dictated the public tiuaucial policy opeuly avow their detct miuatiou to maintaiu tbe extremclimit of expan sion, and if posjibie to increase the paper issues. it win not uo now to say that onlv in a st ite of war could tho country endure t-ucb. a prodigi ous volume of paper raonev. This was about the only serious mistake which the Conserva tives made in their estimate of tbe effect of thee itsues. Tbey held that a redundant eurreacv ould accumulate unused, and could not be forced upou the people. They now seo that an expansion has no auch natural limit. The mar ket will dapt itelf to any amount of issue, and tbe uiomci:! the equilibrium is rentored each addition is as welcome as the firt. and ia un more felt as a surplusacc. Before the war the ordinary limit of raDer ciroulatiou was three hundred million dollars. Now we have nearly one thousand million, and if this were doubled, there would soon bo no visi ble redundaucy. The effect of an expjnded currency is not seen iu tho piling up of superfluous notes, but in the unnatural inflation of prices, and the unhealthy excitement which follow it, like an intoxicating draught, into every part of tbe system. Those who flatter themsclvss that a further expansion, by tbe authority of Con grcss, is impossible because of the rreat abun dance of the issue now flooding the country, will soen discover their mistake if the experiment is Uied. Tbev mini-tär tj a thirpt that will never be satiated by any such supply; they increase the hunger which grows with the service, and will never be satisfied. There are eue hundred millions of tho new National llank notes still to be iesucd and dis tributed. If no more are authorized by national legislation, that will be the limit of the espaulinn.

We have reason to believe that this will be the paliev cur sued by the Secretary in hi forthcoming report. This esunot give a very sharp contraction, since the amount to be spared mut be limited. Con greas will doubtless authorize tbe fundier of anv of the paper issues soon as the surplus will warraot it; but if the Secretary were ever so much disposed, he cou'd not reduce the currency, except he has an cice-s of revenue tJ sptre for that purpose. The e Jjrt to mike a loan to any extent for the sake cf contraction would defeat itself, as tbe moment it was announced, tho re lative value of lie notes au J bonds would chance. and the ceuverion would ceae to be profitable The utmost which we can bore i, that no fur ther expansion will be authorixed. and the nolicv of applying all the revenue above that which i's absolutely cerensary to aa economical ajsniuistration of the Government, will be steadily pur sued w York Journal of Cornmsrce l"sT The Day of Judgment is coming.

Mxssas Emtgij; A year or two alcce your columrs contained certain histcrical documents showing tbe complicity of men in tbe 2iew Eng litd Stttes.and Massachusetts in particular, ia slavery and the slave trade iu the olien time Itn much to be desired tnt those pspers sboull be collected and given to the public ia a volume, they serve to throw so much liht upon the his tory of a question of the grandest tatercit, both in a moral and national point of view, and which, thanks to Heaven, is now forever disposed of. ow that this terribie evil and wrong has ceased to exist, Ut mutual crimination at.d denunciation and all ill feeling ceiee, and all parties, seeing and acknowledging their particip -tion in the guilt, shake hands with a common confeasioa of blame. and, cherishing only sentiments of sorrow for the past, and of brotherhood for the present, move onward to a hsppv and glorious future Spending ome wecka in the venerable and staid town of Medford, Mass., a half dozen miles out of Boston, I unexpectedly met with some ancient document relating to the early history of the town, from which it appetred that slavery and the slave trade exiated even in this quiet. moral and intelligent town, from about the time of its settlement, in If GO, down to the com mencement of tbe Revolutionary war, though now I failed to ce a solitary negro in the streets. even the barber being a "full blooded Cauca aian. blaves were brought here and sold as carl v a9 the year lC3d, only eighteen veais after the arrival of the 1 ilgnm at riymoutb, and eiszLt years after the f-eitlemeat of tbe town by a colony from Spain. Iu 1737 Captain William Tierce was employed to carry captive Fequod Indiana and there sell them for blavch! Slavery iu these days was not limited by complexion, for the Puritan would as redily reduce to bondage tbe red men on this continent, who fought simply lor their Creiide and liucrty, ai the black race on another continent, who d:d not fiht at all, but wtreßimply stoke. Cargoes of slaves, however were not brought to this town, though a cele brated tUve trader had hi almost princely houae and ho Ui? here, while hi- elavos were carried into Boston and Bristol. R, I., or more directly iüt Virginia and South Carolina. Not long since, some time the last winter, I aa a i ocueve, vj individual, whose travel had extended ad far ad Charleston, S. C , discoverer in tint city an auctioneer'd old block, from which negroes were sold. He procured it. whether by purchase or iu the way orue II ssaebugett chaplains are charged with coming into poshes ie sion oi i.oranoa ana pianos, wnicn they send home to their famlile, is not stated; and amaxed ut his discovery and pocion himself, he re solved to amaze others. Meetings were an nounced to be held in the great public places in Boston, distinguished echolars aud eloquent speakeia were procured, and tne mass pushed to get a sight of the hoirible auction block. Little did these speakers, and exhibitor?, and crowds imagine that the labor of traveling all the lone way to Charleston, South Carolina, might have been eaved In the search ot some relic of bar barity, by simply pacing through Charle?tjwn Mafsachu-setts, to its northern limit-: that al mot within eight of Faneuil Hill, and fairly iu sight from Bunker Hill Monument, if not the elave block, at least tbe slave pen, still exists Into what a Quaker meeting could these excited and noiy meetings have beeu turned, had some one suddenly held up a piece of the old slave pen, built ou Maäfl-ichusett soil, and still standing entire, a monument of Massachusetts and New hngland guilt, and presenting iu itself the strongest motive to modesty and humiliatiou iu them, and to cbatity and forgiyene.-'s to others guilty of the same sin, when thsy lament over it aod torsalte it ! An irresistible curioit impelled cie to leirch out and seo with my own eyes this strange relic and humiliating as strange, and pettinsj ott with out a uiae, I found it in tie out-knls ul thu large central village. Thoro standi) an ancient spacious, and well preserved house, tct far back from tho street, la the centre of hilf it dozeu acres of land, with inside graveled walka lending to it, and elegant trees embo aering it and scat tercd around the ground., a handsome garden and summer house, the vrorka ot tho Lrtt owner lying back of it, while iu the rear of the slmost princely unniion. and neir one corner, stands boue for the domestic of tho successive owner who were gentlemen of wealth aud position. I he slave-pen, which was just back of the hou.e of the domestic, has beea united with it and both now nnko one building, while the slave pen remains unimpaired and entire. The odioujoess and horror of tho "iititution" are abated by the consolidation of the two edifices but still, in the ear of the thoughtful and imagi native beholder, the chain? still rattle, and bofore his eyc3 stand human beings, with downcast looks, frch from the coast of Africa: while manacled hand ure marching down to the ship. under tno whip oi a i iigiirn driver, which is to tako them to a Southern market.

But they hUo had their defects. marked and painful, as this relic testifies; and while it remains, and as long uj it U remembered, their descendmts should not be too boastful. When any one of them gets upon the "highfalu tiu iu (vii-giorincaiiou, ou some unnivetsiry occasion, or public gathering, let come one raise befuro his eyes a fragment of the old slave pen Baruum might nut only make "a good thing of it," but "a big thing," and even "a fat thing," by adding it to Lis collection of rarities and won dors; or a le enterprising genius, by carting it through the country as a show.

Tho son wm aimnly a coward, aud upou tho outbreak of tho Revolution, fled to Halifax, aud thence to Englaud. where he died in 171. Ho was a slave trader on the coaitt of Africa and in tho South till the time he tied the country. Iu 1776 he wrote from Halifax to his agent in Medford as follows: " rieati sell the following negroes: Stephen and George; each cost I'bO sterling, and 1 would ttke X'SO anieee for them.

Eight yeai, ,go lbe üaripoa grove was discovered by our host, Mr. Galea Clark, and ince tuea he has found another large grove ia t res jo county, bout tight miles eoutb of those we are about to Tis t. We are informed hv Prof OlraiUad that scattered crave have beea dis covered growing in bigher-ltitJdes as yoo ro oath, cearly down to Mexico. There is, there fore, lo immediate danger of tbe species becom ing extinct, as was at first feared, thouzh the fires which of;en ra;e through the mountains have made sad work with the Maripoi rrove. vm'.q Jir. dark, a very Intelligent and cacital gentleman for our guide, we wind up tbe sides of mountains for six miles souih of his residence. some 2,500 feet, and G.äGt feet above the sea, where we find ourselves among the objects of our visit. No one need point them out. Their cinnamon colored bark and msiestic trunks. crowned with bright grcea foliage, toweriog far above tbe huge pines and cedars by which they are surrounded, at once divert the eye lo them as tbe undisputed sovereigns of the vegetable aingcom. l heir form is so symmetrical, and in most cases their deac cone like crown cf loliage. commencing a hundred feet or more from the root, is so beautiful and regular that it takes careful study for several Lours, and even days, to appreciate the magnitude and glory of thee trees. Let us take sober facts and figures to assist ua in forming correct ides in regard to them There is a tree, the top of which is rttll greeu and beautiful, and the eeu'.ro of which has been burned out by successive fires Our eutire party of fifteen on horseback i i Je iu and are sheltered beneath it, and there is room tor at least three or four, while twice aa many unmounted men might recline under the centre of the tree, where it is not burned high enough to admit one on horseback. We brought with us from San Francisco a ball of druggist's twine, and with it let us measure the diameter of this one, which, perhaps, has lain prostrate for a hundred jean, for quite a large tree is growing on the line where it lies. It requires quite a smart jump ta get on a projecting section of it, and then some effort to clamber upon the top. Tbe bark, which oa the living tree averages from eighteen inches to two feet thick, is all burned off, and yet tbe solid trunk is twenty-seven feet in diameter. Stretch the cord around another jut above the ground. It measures ninety feet; that is, tbe tree is thirty feet in diameter. Diaw it around tbe tree as high as you can reach, and still it measures eighty-five feet. There lies one of medium size not yet burned up, as sccres of his fellows have been. Stretch the cord from top to root. It measures two hundred aud twenty-seven feet, and we can therefore readily believe that trees of the largest size, growing in favorite localities, reach a height of neatly four hundred feet Mr. Clark infonn9 us that ua analysis of the bark and sap cf tbe tree shows that tbey contaiu a larger per centage of tannic acid than those of any other tree; to which he attributes their great tenacity oHi.'eaed gigantic size. The cord by which these measurements are made are carefully marked, we intend to briug borne with us, to cod found all skepticism iu regard to the size of these trees. But here we are in the presonce of the grizzly giant whose first limb, eighty feet above the grouud, as proved by careful measurements, i six feet in diameter Tbetiee it-el f muot be at that height II to 'Jo feet iu diatcuer, tapering gradually .acd beauti fully up from the base. The age of these treed baa been carefully estimated by men of science. The lowest result h two, and the highen about three thousand ycara. Standing in their presence, awe steals over the mind as one thinks of the vast ages that have passed since they were the young ot the forest. Tbeu Davit led bis father's flocks, and Saul was found among the prophets. When the Saviour dwelt among men and g ive bis lifo for tho redemption of our race, these tries towered un in olctnu grandeur upon the mountain How m ny nations of men have ri.-en to wc.tlth and pwer, and then passed away forever, since the reeds from which the?e treeis grew were planted by the hand of the Almighty But why further purue this subject? Wo pass on, hyping ngiu to see these trees, as we trut hundreds of our leaders will, vciy soon after the I'ucific Railway is completed. It may bo worth while here to remark that no range of mountaius, to our knowledge, la covered with so varied and magnificent tree? as are the Si erra Nevada. They do not begin to show themselves till a height of several thousand feet is reached, and where other mountaius become harten and forbidding, tho Sierras are crowned with the glories of the vegetable kingdom. The caue must be sought, in our judgment, in the peculiar climate of California. The winds from the vast TaciOc Ocean, as they reach the Sierra Nevada Mountains, are doubtless so tempered ani laden with that precifc amount of moisture essential to produce this great wealth and beautyarboreal life the wonder aliko of all who gee it.

I'he follow iag extract from a letter written by a gentleman of tbe highest respectability in that State, will be found very suggestive: "The defeat of General Benton in thi Sut - und tbo tri urn n!i of tho radical rirr'ro-iifl'ra 1 o " r - ticket, will be entirely owing to the Vnt'uhnt' oirn vjjict-hitldtrt. We) might have overcome the State Datronaoe. but I am fearful that the general Government will be too much for us. It is the first time iu the political history of this country that an Administration stood by and saw its own friends defeated by its own putronsge. "One of tho Cabinet officers (Harlan) is now in the State, openly electioneering for Sfone, and will continue to do so until alter the Uctober election." The above is from the Washington Constitu tion. The bttteof fuits which it discloses in Iowa was al-o remarked in Ohio. Here, the mo.t tirominent workers for the ticket which ia opposed to tho President's policy of reconstruction of the seceded States were the Government office-holders. They were tho active men in endeavoring to defeat the leading aud favorite measures uf the President a fact which it is proper he should know. Cin. Knq. Tlic Political Phenomenon In .'Vfitaau clitiaelt s. Tho Democrats of Massachusette have nomi nated General Couch for Governor. General Couch is a gallant officer, and has served his country faithfully all through the war. I ho flecublicans, on the other hand, have nomi nated Mr. Bullock, one of the stay at-homes du ring the war, as their candidate. I his is cer tainly a very rcraaikable state of atliirs N. V. Herald. Pray wh:it is there phenomenal In this? The Republic xu of Massichuseits were distinguished throughout the war as a stay-at-home party. They in toiily ecoured this country from Maine tD Cil.foniia for whita and ne'ro substitutes to hll their i':ou, but sent agents to r.uiope and bought up tui brought over by the ship load the ' otK-oiiing-s of the grr l cities to dt their fighting.

Sisters of Providence to open au Infirmary, which prepares them to give, Iu tlrue of sickness, an atilura f peruns wbo have no regular home, and who, conse. quently, sutler greatly at tLoe times, from the want of good care and of proper accommodation. The need of such an lattitution has long since been felt; Rev. A. Beouie, whoe duty often calls him to the sick room, seeing the good that an Invalid's Home would do, Las, within tbe lat two year, requested the Sisters of Providence to commence one, ab 4 it is at his repeated sugge tions that the Sisters make now au attempt, hoping to benefit all those who may find them-elre in the situation above alluded to. Tbe UtentUn of the managers Is to establish the boue on principles of charity, as well as of benevolence, ard the basis upon which it is fuaded will, when ia sac ctssfal operstion, enable it to provide f r its own support. The Invalids that Lave means, and who will belong te the c!a of sick boarders, will pay the price set down per week, lot this chsrg Hill be reduced in favor of thoie who resources are limited; In this caae.charge. will te proportioned te the mean, of each eue. let It cot be understood that the de.utute will be exclude.!; to tbem specially will the hand of rtercy be extended, so far as tbe house will be able, to give them gratuitous admittance; It is only to be added, thit, oa tbeir behalf, some assistance will be needed. Tbe fand arising from tbe receipts of the sick board, rs, will. It is expected, la time, support tbe establishment; but until toen, It is hoped that the citiiens, view. Ing It favorably and taking interest in It, will, for the present, help towards Ita maintenance, Tbugh it begins on "small beginnings," tbe unual mode e( beneve lent institutions, yet considerable expense Is required lathe start; a hoase had to be found, sufficient 1 uralt ure parcbaed, and erery day's living provided fr. Tode, fray tbe flrt expenditure, tbe S.sters had en hand 75, collected from St. John's congregation, on the occasion cf a lecture given by Kev. Father Kjlroy for the baefit of this infirmary, then in project; also 75 and tI5U doatted by individual partie, making in all 1 3'0; with this sum tbe house was furnished with the Indpeosable requirements. Counting ea the well known charitable disposition ef the comUi-lty at large, alms will be looked for, the gifts mty be in groceries, goods, furniture, market provisions all will be thankfully received, and applied, in e7ect, te the serv ce of the routed and destitute invalids, for whom uly the alms are sol -cited. Twenty-Cre dollars worth of groceries was received as soon as the house was opened; tbe donor U thanked for her liberal benefaction ad readf will to give her a d. t The building Cited up fvr St. Join's Home is on South Tet.ceee street, 5o. 1X5.
