- A GOLDEN WEDDING. Seme sounds there are whose echoes never die—- . Butin the heart they linger hauntingly. . The rush and roar of great| Niagara— - The voice of ocean tempest tossed afar— ’ The sound of music o'er a moonlit sea. Mingled with waves that resk unceasingly - The drowsy murmur of the summer breeze O'er field and flowers, where fly the honey bees—- ' The sweet mysterious sonnd of woodland brooks Which ripple o'er the shining; happy rocks— - The tinkling bells of cattle—floating down From distant hill, as nightfall brings them home—- : A voice whose lightest tone was sweet as chimes _ Of evening bells, or music of sweet rhymes— These all are sounds whese echoes will be heard As oft the heart by memory is stirred— | But sweetest sbuu'h, which all the rest outlast, Are echoes floating from a happy past. And as a mountain landscape does when seen At greater distance, gather soften mien. . 'l‘hrm;gh purple haze and tints of ametlys, . 8o life sends sweeter echoes through the mist Of yeéars, which long have rolled between The days that are days which once have been ‘We hear to-nighia silvery sounding noté Far back years up to the present fluat, O happy hearts, to whom it sweetlyitells - - It.is the sound of silver wedding beﬁl. ; They swing and ring and sing of hand and heart - So fitly joined they never more can part. - They swing and ring and sing of home and friends ¢ A happy home which peace and love attends. They swing and ring and sing of children cone ~ To biessithe earth and happier mske the home. They swing and ring and sing of loving deeds, The sick and poor remembered in their needs. ¥ . They swing and ring and sing—as yet they toll;— Thank God-~the breaking of no “"golden bowl.” 0. happy bells, that swing and sing, rir?;z' on, Till many years have joyous.come and gone. Then, sweeter sound, of greater gla.d:ness born, Ring i}n a blessed golden wedding morn ! ~‘Mr. Buckle’s Law of Average. The late Mr, Buckle, in his “Introduction to the History of Civilization in England,” somewhat startled the world by announcing a theory of av‘erage, which he applied to all human actions and from which he argued that e ‘ we might forecast the fature. It was philosophy teaching by statistics. | In sueh a space of time there would be go many arsons, forgeries and ‘murders. Not only this, but the murders would repeat themselves inthe manner of their perpetration ; just the same number would be by poison, by the pistol; by the bludgeon, &ec. Ifin any three months of 1820, six sons had killed their fathers, the like number of cases of parricide, with a certain increase for the increase of population would occur in the samie three months of

1850. +We were under the' operation of a law seemingly beyond our conwrol or recoguition, : The extraordinary theory has seemingly just received a etriking confirmation in the Registrar-General’s report of accidents in the streets of London. For many years past it has been observed that for the first nineteen weeks of the year, just 74 persons have been killed by being run over in public thoroughfares. 1t was therefore expected, trom the unfailing law of average, that the same number would be killed tor the first nineteen weeks of 1869. On the Bth day of May, after the lapse of eighteen weeks, the number of fatal accidents of this kind should have been seventy but fell ehort four of that number. Obviously, then the law of average must fail, or the accidents for the week ending the 15th of May must be doubled. Curiously enough, tor the seven days, trom the Bth to the 16th, eight persons were actually killed instead ot four, and thus the seventy-four victims demanded by the mercilegs arithmetic were fully made up.—N, Y. Evening" Post. .

i A Word to Women, ‘ The following is clipped from the Laws of Life: “Very few ladies know how to appreciate an: easy bealthful dress. They think *their dresses are loose, when a man or boy put into one as tight would gasp for breath, and feel incapable of putting forth any effort except to break the bands. Ladies are so accustomed to the tight fits of dresemakers that they “fall all to pieces” when relieved of them. They associate the loose dress with a bed or lounge. “ To be up, they must be ‘‘stayed” up; and to recommend a comfortable dress to them is not to meet a conscious want of theirs. It is a great pity none the less. If they could once know what a luxury it is to breathe deep and full at each inspiration, and refreshment the system takes on by having the blood enlivened and sent bounding through the arteries and veins; to have the aids to digestion which sach a process always gives ; to have their own strong elastic muscles keep every organ in place and themselves erect; if they could for a good while know this bless sed luxu?, and then be sent back into the old stiff, straight-jackets, they would fume and fret in very desperation if they could not get rid of them. As it is, they prefer to languish and suffer dreadfully, and die young and to leave all of their friends, and their little children, and I do not see any other way but let' them be sick and die till they are satisfied. If only the sinner was the sufferer, it would mot be 8o worth while to make a great ado about it ; but the blighting of future innocent lives which must follow renders the falge habits of our women in the highest degree criminal.

HErol¢ YOUNG WOMAN.—The New York Sum, in a report of a night alarm of fire tells the following story which is good if not true : The staircase was blocked up with boarders endeavoring to get away with their baggage. One young woman exhibited aﬁ:eroiam sworthy ‘of record.— She was petite, with dark curly hair, and'had just arrived on the' landing with her arms full of knick:kndcks, when she gnddenly dropped her bundle and putting her hand to her head and exclaiming, in heart rending accents, “Oh, my blonde hair !”’ rushed frant. ically back and disappeared in a vol--ume of smoke. There was a minute of awfal suspence to the by-standers; but presently, the courageous girl ap-. peared at the top of fhe stairs, cartying about ten pounds/of blonde capiliary ornamentation. One of the boarders said: the ‘hair was lately imported: from Paris, at an se of $176,

Husbands and Wives. e From Alger’s Friendship of Women. - In his chapter on the relation of husbaads and wives, Mr. Alger has a passage 8o admirable, and introduces also a quotation ‘from Chateaubriand, which hai always seemed to us eo unrivaled for truthfulness, that we quote a few passages: - Let a husband be the true and pure guardian of his family, laboring always to adorn himeelf with the godlike gems of wisdom,’ virtue and honor; let him bear himself in relation to his wife with gracious kindness. toward her faults, with grateful recognition of her merits, with steady sympathy for her trials, with hearty aid for her better aspirations, and she must be of a vile stock if she does not revere him snd minister unto him with all the graces and sweetness of her nature. : : : ik

Let a wife in her whole intercourse with her husband, try the efliciency of gentleness, purity, sincerity, scrupulous truth, meek and patient. deference, and if he is not a brute he cannot help respecting her and treating her kinaly ; and in nearly all instances he will end by loving her and living happily with her. : : But if he is vulgar and vicious, despotic, reckless, so as to haye no devotion for the angust prizes and incorruptible pleasures 6f existence ; if she is -an unappeasable termagant, or a petty worrier, so taken up with trifling annoyances, that, whenever she looks “the blue rotunda of the universe sinks into a house-wifery room ;" if the presénce of each acts like a morbid irritant on the nerves of the other, to the destruction of comfort and the lowering of selfrespeet, and the draining away of peace and strength, their companionship must infallibly be a companionship in ‘wretchedness and loss. The banes of domestic life are littleness, falsity, harghness, vulgarity, scolding. vociferation, an incessant issuing of superfluous prohibitions and orders, which are regarded as impertinent interferences with the general liberty and repose, and are provocative of rankling or. exploding resentments. The blessed antidotes that sweeten and enrich domestic life are refinement, high aims, great interests, soft. voice, guiet and gentle manners, magnanimous tempers, forbearance from all unnecessary command ors dictation, and generous allowances of mutual freedom. Love makes obedience lighter than liberty. .Man wears & noble allegiance, nct as a collar, but as a garland. The graces are never so lovely as when seen waiting on the Virtues ; and, when they thus dwell together, they make a heavenly home. No affection, saye friendship, has any sure eternity init. Friendship ought. theretore, always to be cultivated in love itself, as its only certain guard-and preservative, not less than as the only sufficing substitute ‘in its absence. A couple joined by love, without friendship, walk on gunpowder with torches in their hands. Shall I venture to /depict the sad decay which love naturally suffers, and the. redemptive transformatibn which it sometimes findergoes? I will do it by translating a truthful and’ eloquent passage from Chateaubriand : I " At first our letters are long, vivid, and frequent. The day is not capacious enough for them. We write at sunset; at moonrise we trace a few more lines, changing its chaste and silent light to hide our thousand desires. We watch for the first peeping of dawn to write what we believe we bad forgotten to say in the delicious hours of ou- meeting. A thousand vows cover the paper, where all the roses of aurora are reflected ; a thousand kisses are planted on the words, which geem born from the first glance of the sun. Notan idea, an image, a reverie, an accident, a disquietude, which has not its' letter. Lo! one morning, something almost imperceptible 'steals on the beauty of this passion, like the first wrinkle on the front of an adored woman, - .

The breath and perfume of love expire in these pages of youth as an evening breeze dies on flowers. We feel it, but are unwilling to confess it Our letters become shorter and fewer, are filled with news, with description, with foreign matter ; and, if anything happens to delay them, we are less disturbed. On the subject of loving .and beiug loved, we have grown reasonable 'We submit to absence without complaint. Our former vows prolong themselves; here are still tke game words, but they are dead. Soul is wanting in them. I Love you, is merely an expression of habit, a necessary form, the I have the honor to be of the love letter. - Little/ by little the style freezeés where it inflamed. The post-day no longer eagerly anticipated, is rather dreaded ; writing has become a fatigue. o We blush to think of the madness we have trusted to paper, and wish we could recall our letters and burn them. What has happened ? ' .Is it a new at“tachment which begins where the old one ends ¥ No; it is love dying in advance of the object loved. We are forced to own that the sentiments of man are'subject to a %dden process ; the fever of time, which produces lasgitude, also dispatches il'lusion, undermines our passions, withers our loves, and changes our hearts, even as it changes our locks and our years.— There is kut one exception to this human infirmity. There sometimes oc-. curs in a strong soul a love firm enough to transform itself into impassionate friendship, so as .to become a duty, and appropriate the qualities of virtue. Then; neutralizing ‘the weakness of nature, it acquires the immortality of a principle. L

“HANNAH,"” said a lady to her servant, “I wish you would step over and se¢ how old Mrs. Jones is this morning.”” Ina few minutes. Hannah returned with the information that Mrs. Jones was seventy-two years seyen months and two daysold. . =

A Youna lady who was rebuked by her mother for {iuing her intended justified the fact by quoting the pgasa?e “Whatsover ye would that man should do unto you 3:) ye even 8o unto them.”

LIGONIER, IND., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2, IS7O.

From the New York Sun, The Fate of the Lost Children of Wymnockie. v Joseph Wyble’s three children left home at nearly four o’clock on the afternoon of New Year's Day. They went t 0 a white walnut tree but little over half a mile from the house. They must have reached the tree at about balf-past four. The weather was murky and damp. Probably the children gpent an hour 'in gapbegpg white walnuts and in; peeling off the outer shells. By the time they bad filled a bag and a tin pail with nats it must have been balf past five. The twilight wae very short, and darkness rushed upon them in a beavy rain storm. Terrified at his situation, the oldest boy, thinking he was tracing his steps, piloted his hrothers in a straight line to the left of the homeward path. The night was o dark that one could not seehis hand before his face, and the rain fell in torrents. The frightened children hurried over the rocks and through the undcrbrush, but every step took them further from home. |

At half past four the mothef rén from the house into the woods, and called the children. She did not go to the hickory tree, because she did not know its situation. She hardly penetrated the -forest because, the younger children at home followed her, and alarmed her with their cries. At about seven o’clock the father entered the woods with a laatern. The deep and steady fall of the rain drowned his shouts. ~lt was certainly after seven ‘when he reached the hickory tree on Camel Mount. The children had gone from the tree at least an hour and a half before, and were then drenched to the skin, struggling-through the forest three-quarters of a mile to the left. - The neighbors' were not fairly on the search until after one o’clock A. M. ‘By that time the little fellows, exhausted, wet, chilled, and hungry, had prohably fallen asleep at the roots of some large tree, or under the shelter of a rock. Daydawned; but the rain still fell in torrents. The poor children awoke and struggled onward.— Their suffering may be imagined.— But one of them wore shoes. The storm did not clear away until nearly three o’clock un Sunday afternoon.— They had then been twenty-four houra without food, and for twenty hours had suffered ‘the pitiless beating of the rain. When night was setting in they had reached the ronghest rocks of the mountain. From where they stood they could ‘see the lights of sixteen dwellings. -They shouted for ‘help — The air being rarified by the rain, their voices were borne to-the ears of Mrs. Cough, only a mile distant. She testified that on that night she distinctly heard ' children crying on the mountain. They firat cried *Hi-ee-ee!” A “Papa, papa!” and yet a third time “Papa, papa!” As her husband was deaf, she said mothing, giving as an excuse that she did not know any children were missing. The boys then prepared for their final atruggle Precipices eighty feet high were near them, and the side of the mountain was covered with huge boulders. With. bleeding feet and shivering bodies they moved in the direction of the lights. 7The night became very cold. Hemmed in by rocks, the children dropped indespair, not & hundred rods from the mountain road. Little Johnny fell asleep under cover of a rock. His heroic brothers strippedi themselves of their soggy coatsin a vain effort to keep him warm: Warren’ clasped the tin pail to his breast, and dropped asleep at his brother’s feet; while Anthony, the oldest brother, climbed the rock, and watched the’ lights as they faded one by one, until, benumbed with cold, he rolled from the rock and died. ! Ry Such was the fate of the Wynockie children, dying within a hundred yards of the road, within a mile of comfortable mansion, and within thirty miles of New York city. A month elapsed before their bodies were discovered. Their parents have literally spent their last penny in searching for their lost children. George Wyble, the brother of Joseph, on Wednesday night had hardly a mouthful of bread in his house. He had spent over a month in searching for his little nephews. Time in his case was truly money. The people of Paterson and ‘Wynockie have raised less than a hundred dollars for these poor people. That will hardly suffice for the baurial of their dead. *A Friend of the Afflicted” sends a dollar to the Sun office for their benefit, and wishes that he was able to make it a thousand— The dollar has been f rwarded to Mr. Wyble. Shall this be the ounly response from the richest city in America !

. MURDER! MURDER! Why is it that murder stalks abroad at noonday and sneakingly crawls through dark alleys with the bloodsmeared dagger of death? In these days of demoralization and political cor:uption, neither life nor property is safe. Bribery is even more common than murder., The Judiciary, the bar and the jurors, are not exempt from the charge. Our cities are delivered over to thieves and assaseins, and their terrible ‘crimes go unpunished, and are forgotten in a short time.— Their arrests are followed by escapes from prison or acquittals at our criminalcourts ; and this fact is noticed by the murdering, thieving, burglaring fraternity, and thus they are encouraged to commit their fiendish purposes. Encouraged in this way they are strengthened, and their numbers are increasing every day ; and no corresponding efforts are making to check up the infamy by their ministers, teachers, politicians, judges, lawyers or jurors. In . looking over the {Tew York papers we notice that in the last month there has been committed fifteen murders, twenty-one assanlts with intent to murder, and eight suicides. It is said -by the papers that not one half of the street robberies and burglaries are published. 'What an array ia this —the crimes of a single city in a single. moath! Women and men, preachers and church members, are seduced—abortions;: disgrace and death follow in the dismal train, and yet we are to'd from the pulpit that the world is getting better, and some one looking for the dawn of millennial glory. And since we are commanded to ‘““wrestle with spiritual wickedness in high places,” we will be excused for saying much of the crime of which we complein grows out of the neglect of Christians to impress the great lessons necessary to reform. . Religious revivals are fruitless unless parents, teachers and preachers unite in enforcing the praciical duties of life. In doing this they will lay the foundation of a conscientious character in youth that will honor and bless every department of human life,

Mrs. Dr. Mary Walker and a Suspi- ! cious Old Lady. M:s. Dr. Walker, having occasion recently to pass up the Missouri river, was interviewed at Nc w Madrid by the editor of the Record, and in the course ~of the conversation Mary related the fdlowing amueing incident of her war experience in Georgia: i I frequently rodeoutside our lines aad visited the farm houses, where I found much destitution among the women. The men were generally absent in the confederate army, or had fled at onr approach. I administered to a great many sick am‘ong&pse destitate Georgians. On oneo@®sion I called at the bouse of an old lady, who was sick, and had quite a pretty young daughter living with her. I prescribed for the old lady and furnished her with medicine and some needed delicacies, and gave her great and speedy relief. At her request I remained all night, and there %eing no vacant bed in the house, I slept with the daughter.— Soon after I was called ‘upon to visit a very sick 'young man in the same neighborhood. By proper medical treatment and attention he was soon convalescent, and I suddenly became very famous in that neighborhood.— Exaggerated accounts of my skill and learning were noised abroad, and reached the ears of the old lady just mentioned. Not long after I was taken by night 'outside of the lines, and called upon the old lady for an other night’s entertainment. To my surprise, she seemed reluctant and hesitating, and then jsaid: i b ““Look here, I'm feard of you; I’'m afeard to let you sleep with my daughter again, for I'm af%ared you ain’t a woman ; Idon’t believe any woman could know as much about doctoring folks as youdo.” e e I tried to disabuse her mind of such an impression, but she only shook her head and said, “I’m ta.frti.idy I'd rather not.” At length I unfastened my hair, and shaking it out upon my shoulders, said : iy “Look there, did you ever see a man have such hair as that ? Is not that a woman's hair ” ; “Oh, I don’t know,” said the old woman, “folks has got a curious way of fastening hair on their heads in these days,and maybe it’s just fastened there. I'd rather not let you sleep with my daughter any more.” I tried other means with better success, and greatly relieved, the old lady again put me in her daughter’s bed., 2y

SPEECH OF HON. THOMAS A. HEN- . DRICES. Good Advice to the People ofthe South Report of Hon, Thomas A, Hendricks’ Speech, delivered at New Orleaus, February 13th, 1870. Mr - President and Fellow Citizens :—1 thank you for the welcome which you bave- extended to me on this oceasion.— .The con'dition.qf my health, if there were nothing else to prevent me, would not al low me to attempt to muke sn extended speech to-night. ‘Only a few days since I "had never come further south than the south bank of the Ohio river. ' : A matter of business made it convenient for me at this moment to gratify a desire long entertained of sdeing something of the southern part of our country, that I might judge for myself of some of the questions that have agitated the public mind, and that I might judge by personal observation, as faras I could, of the correctuess of the views I have entertained on the public issues in which I have taken part. But when I left my bome in ‘ndiana, [ did not expect, to any extent what--ever, to participate in any public. discus: sion, and I shall not now attempt to occuPy your attention further than to submit a few remarks. - But even if I were tonight to attempt to make an argument on the questions of the day, coming as I do from Indiana, Isdo not feel that'l shouid be called upon to make an apology. You are my countryment, Louisiana is part of my common country, and the peautiful river that marks the southern boundary of Indiana, and divides her from Ken--tucky, contributes largely to this mighty .stream which carries the commerce of our country to and from your city. Indiana contributes very largely to that commerce, and most of the questions that affect your interests are important also to the people of Indiana. Louisiana is an agricultural State. So is Indiana. Louisiana asks free laws, just laws, hororable laws, and s 0 does Indiana. Louisianaasks for laws that' shall justly protect capital, and at the same time shall take labor by the hand and hold it up. Indiana asks just such laws. : § !

I have heard it said by men of this State, and of some other Southern States, that they would take no partin the polit ical .congroversies of the times; that it was no use to do 80; that the States had settled the question. Will you allow me to say that that sentiment ought not to be entertained by any citizen of the United States? [Applause.}: There is no man 50 high that be isabove the consideration } of those questions that touch the liberty of his country. [*“Good,” and applause.] There i 8 no man so low that he cannot exercise some influence for the welfare of his country, [Applause.] Why shall the “men of' the South say they will take no active, responsible part in the discussion and decision of the questions that occupy the public attention? The Southern States have a vast population. They have - mighty resources. Their fortunes are now bound up in the fortunes of all the States of this Union, and it is no time now, when the institutions of this country are imper - iled, for any man to hesitate for one moment in the discharge of his duty to his country. [Cheers.] ~ Have we stopped to consider how important 1s the influenice which the ‘South ern States have upon the financial affairs of the entire Un’on? The demand is made by many thas we should return to ~specie payments, and I, for one, will:be glnd when the dayashall come that we. shall have once more the currency of Andrew Jaekson for the currency of the ehtire country [applause]; but I look with little conﬂ{ience to the Congress of the United States, as it is now organized, for any action that ‘will bring usin the di rection even of specie payments. [A laugh] It is in the power of the people themselves, “and of the peoplealone, to facilitate a retarn to the constitutional currency. And how? By selling more abroad than they buy abroad. By turning the current ‘of the precious metals from Europe towards -our shores, and stopping the flow of specie from our ports to the ports of Euarope.. If there is any gentleman present who hesitates to turn his attention to the financial questions o the day, I desire to call his attention to one or two facts drawn from ‘a well-considered statement recently made by a gentleman now in Congress, showing the important relation which- Southern products bear to the general commerce of thecountry. - In the years 1757:8-9, the entire exports from the United States amounted to $l,308,000,000. Of that thirteen hundred millions, about $181,000,000 was of gold and silver; that being deducted, leaves $1,127,000,000 of the products of the labor of the country which were exported during those three years. Of that eleven hundred and twenty seven millinns, there was exported directly from the ports of the South, and of Bouthern products from Northern ports, $596,484.591 ; of that vast sum a little less than one million dollars was gold and silver. So that of the entire. products of ‘the country exported abroad, excluding gold and silver, $595, 487,050 .were contributed by the South, while the North, excluding gold snd sil: ver, contributed $531,853,361. Thus it appears that of the entire exports of the country, exclusive of sgecie,- during the years 1857 8 9, the products of the South constitute fifty five per cent. : - Are you prepared, then, to say, you men of the section that contributes so much toward the squaring of foreign accounts; men who contribute from your section so much to establish the balance of trade be. tween us ‘and foreign mnations—are you willing to set down and say that you will take no responsible part in saving this great country from financial ruin? [“No, no!” and applause.] © When I speak of the country, I do not wish you to understand that I.do not at the same time properly appreciate the luxurious products of the North. Our productions to a very large extent are consumed in the country. ' The products of New England, of the Middle States, ‘and of the great Northwest, to which I belong, are, to a very large extent, consumed in the conntry, and do not appear in the foreign exporte. lam glad to see that the estimate made of the entire products of the labor of the eountry, during the last three years, reaches $BOO,OOO, 1000 and more—a great item in favor of & great country. 5 e - Now you men of the South ean contribute your part of the work. What have ‘we to sccomplish? We have our institutions to preserve, the Constitution to maintain, and the Union to perpetuate.~-e This is the work for you, as it is the wirk of the men of the North. Upon what ‘party, upon what association of men can you rely for this work? Will you rely upon:Radicalism, that is carrying us day by Way farther from the pathway marked by the feet of the Fathersof the country? [‘No,’ and cheers] Will you, then, rely ‘upon the Democratic {m'ty, with such conservatives as are willing to eo«‘opelr:te with that party, for themoglywork' wiéich ial_-to :b;-alocb‘g'pl‘{shedf‘ g) e, MIG_ ap- | ause.] T appeal to you to organize unge; the banner of the %emocmny_.bemnse it is the national party—not national in.the sense alone that it has its supporters. in every, scction of -the country, North ‘and South, but ;::iohgl; be&aﬁni:&n::n -pprts the rights for every of the ,5 untry ; uwm%w ‘bright banner on which is writen the

“principles upon which our fathers erect. ed the fubric of this Government. [Ap‘plause] . spT s You will allow me to speak of one other question, which.is somewhat local and peculiar to yourselves —a question -in which,we, of the State of Indiana shall ‘bave b deal, but not to the extent to which ‘you have to deal with it. - In one way or another the Radicals at Washing ton intend to have it a fixed fact that the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution has been adop.ed. - Right or wrong, they intend it shall be. declared adopted as - part of the Constitution of the: United States. Under that provision then, when it shall have been declared to. have been adopted, the colored people of the whole country become voters; they become clothed with political rights.a.s,tfhey have been beforesby Congressional dction ; as far as ‘Congress, could do it, clothed with civil rights. It is a question for you to consid er very carefully what attitude -you men | of the South shall occupy toward the colored population. There is a deliberate purpose on ‘the part of adventurers from the North—a class of men. who are described as carpet-baggers [laughter]—to appropriate the entire colored vote of the South to their cause. .And what is their cause? It'is not your cause; it is not the colored: men’s cause [assent}; it 18 the cause. of plunder. [Cheers.} -And the question presents-itself just in ‘this form: Are you, men of the South, willing that’ these adventurers shall appropriate that large vote—in some of the Southern States a majority of the entire vote? Are you willing that this vote shall be appropriated for such a!'purpose? [A voice—*Not it we can help it.” Laughter and applause.] How can’ we help it?. Simple enough. It is'a question simply of personal influence between you, men of the South, “to the manor born,” and those ‘who have settled. here for the purpose: of making their home here, on the one side, and these hap-hazard adventurers of theNorth on the other'side. That isthe way the question stands,,. New relations have come to exist between youand the colored people of the South. How will you place yourself in regard to these new relations? | They have not been of your seeking, and they. may, perhaps, be very disagreeable to you; but-the negro is a- voter in Loui siana, a$ he will be'in Indiana, if the Gf teenth amendment is declared: ‘adoptéd, and it is not worth your while, nor ‘is it .worth my-while to go back on the fixed" fact. That traveler in the mountain pass is not wise, when be is overtaken by the storm, to be casting his eyes back upon the plain which lie has left. It is hisbusiness to consider the dangers which menace him at the time, and'to save himself from the threatened peril. = These new relations are upon you. ‘How are you - conduct yourselves toward the colored’ people ?. They were once your friends and - you were their freinds. There were social relations between you-—the relations ‘ of master and servant.: They bad your confidence and: you had theirs, Is it pos: ‘ sible that the stranger cannow come in and make thege ancient’ servants of yours: his servants and your enemy? [Applause.] There is no occasion in these new rela | tions which 'were forced upon: you, that: you should entertain sentiments of dis | like in the negro because of it. - It was not of his seeking ;- he did not produce _this change of relations. . The altered con- . dition.of things has been forced on. the country and on you, noét by the colored man, but by ambitious politicians Northand South, who wish to make capital out of it. . [*That's sO,” ard cheers.]" I hope. to see Southern men taking this weapon, which is ptaced in their hands, and using it for their country's good. [Applause.] You have no ‘cause to.entertain against the colored people a feeling of prejudice. [“We don't do it'] When your young men were far off in the field, and even: your aged meun—many of them were ab. sent during the four years of the war—you left these colored men at your homes; where they stood sentinels at the doors, w@cre your wives and your chiildren were safe under their protection. They labored and cultivated vour lands, and raised L those products which: supported the armies in the field. ~And now, ig it pussible that the foreigner—l speak not. of the foreigner as a mwan of another country, but men foreign to your ‘interests, men of other sectinns of the country—is it possible that they shill come in and mske ‘these colored men to hate and destroy you? Your interests are the interests of the coloréed men. =~ A few colored men may be brought round the lobbies of the Legislature. - They may ‘be temporarily invested with a few offices; but you go'to - work and persuade the colored men that. their interests are-secured by just laws, and by just laws alone, and that theseapparent benefits which are conferred on a few of their number do-not go'to make - up the benefits of the great body of them. Give them to understand that the offices which are conferred ot the colored men ‘here and there, work a positive injustice to the people at large: . Let them nnderstand that with regard to their civil rights _you are willing to give them just laws.— The negro, of his own notion, is not going to ask for social equality or social | rights. It is the Northern adventurer on- | ly who is trying to agitate that question, to make 1t a ground work of ill-feeling between you ‘and- the colored man.. In 1867, Senator Wilson, addressing an au dience in this square, declared thistrue. doctrine, that no law ic any land could ‘open any man’s parlor to him, and no law could open his parlor to any.other man, Theo social rights, the social position of a man depend upon himself. They are not regulated by law, and the man that insists; that there shall bewsnciable relations ‘bétween the whites and blacks, inconsistent with the proper relationsof those ‘two races, is the friend of neither. He is the enemy of both races. [Applause.] In my judgment, the colored people will .be satisfied if you ‘assure them:that you will | give them just laws, fairly administered, | Do this, and thﬁn the cutside adventurer | can not turn their votes against you -— ‘Let the colored man. understand that the legislation of your State is not being earried on to make a few men rich at the expense of the great body of the people.— Appeal to the colored man to stand by you in your fight for honesty, for justice, for Integrity and for equal laws, and that Aappeal will reach his heart as readily as it reaches the heart of the great body of the ' white -people. T don't want you to consider what ?_hav’e said as the expres- | sion of a man who is well-informed on the subject. I have never been brought into | close - contact with ‘colored men to any considerable extent. . I don’t know much of their habits; I don’tsknow much of the influence brought to Bear upon them, | but Ido believe that the men who have | known them from childhood up - theman who have been their friends in times past | may, by a groper course, Testore that influ- - ence in themselves which ‘will' enable them to secure: the colored vote for the | good of your State and. for the: g"oﬂ of | the country.

That this Union shall be perpetual, that it shall rest on the Constitution, and that all the rights, privileges and prerogatives of the State shall be maintained ‘forever under that government, and that the National Union thus supported by States clothed with all their rights will be the temple in which free‘men shall worship forever together.. [Ap‘plause.} - What do we wish to accomplish? Nothing that is wrong—evergthing that is (rifht. We wish to establish in the United States equal laws and just taxstion. = These we must have. This plunder of the State and inational treasury is becoming universal. There must be a return to a spirit of honesty in the public service, both nationa) and State. There is a power greater than that of law.” Daniel Webster, in one of his beautiful orations, when the question was agitating the heart of the world what treatment Russia would extend to Koesuth, and ‘whether Russia would demand the return ot that patfiot when he was under the protection of Turkey, said there wasa power mightierthan the earthquake—more terrible than thé rumbling of the storm—the judgment of mankind. [Cheers.] - “Let us, North and South, unite now for the purpose of maintaining the ipstitutions of our country in the.spirit in which they were established by the great men who founded this government. . _Lthank you for the. attenti.n you have given meé; I thank you for this welcome: It is my first visit to the Southern country.

Bayard Taylor delivered a lecture in Albany recently on the subject of prohibitory liquor laws, which was largely attended’ by members of the New York Legslature. 'He vigorously attacked the ‘notions of those who assume that the evils of intemperance can be quelted by prohibitory legislation. He said that the temperance reformers. had been lecturing and regulating the traffic -in liquors for thirty. years, and that intemperance had increased instead of diminishing. He referred to his experience in foreign lands, where the people babitually use light' ‘wines, and yet are very temperate. The Greeks he regarded as’ the most temperate people anfong whom he had ever lived, and yet these people all drink the light wines of their country. He held total abstinence to be essential to all who could ‘not control their appetites, and would en.. courage no one to indulge in the habit of drinking, but he protested against the romances of the prohibitionists. Mr. Taylor' differs materially from Greeley, his old eo-laborer of the Z'ribune. Bul Bayard Taylor has far more experience of the worid than Greeley, and has much more keenly observed the workings of human society. - S .

) Plain Talk in the Pualpit. The Crawfordsville Review says that on last Sunday morning, the Rev. Samuel Godfrey, who heretofore has supported the radical party, preached an eloquémt sermon-to a large and attentive audience in the Methodist Cburch, in Crawfords- - viLL"e. In the course of the services he offered up the following prayer, which we commend to a careful reading by those of our fcllow citizens who in former electjons have been induced by false promises and demagogical appeals to their passions and prejudices to belp place in power the most - corrupt and infamous administration that ever cursed a nation. The ap- | peal of the eloquent divine to the Throne. of Gracé, we venture, will not be unheeded, when we recognize the fact that God is just. o : THE PRAYER - _ : “Oh, Lord! Thou knowest that the leading men of . our Nation, and those ogcupying the highest publzc positions, are thieves and robbers, plunderérs and murderers, drunkards and debauchees; that we have ' too many Harlans and, too many Beechers, | Oh, Lord.” | ! Disfranchisement in Missourl. ‘ The Republican members of the Missouri Legislature, in caucus, by a vote of fifty-one to twenty two, decided to adopt , ah amendment to the State Constitution, to"be submitted to the people next Octo- - ber, enfranchising all those who are now deprived of the right of suffrage on ac- — count of race or color, or their connection with the late rebellion. A republican paper assures us that “this has been fre. quently urged to be the ruling sentiment of the bulk of the Republican party, and in consonance with the spirit of the resolutions of Senator Schurz added to the | Chicago platform, by the National Con: “vention of 1868." This spirit of “liberali ty” is doubtless due to the ratification of the fifteenth amendment. The Radicals have an idea that with the aid of 20,000 negro votes they can afford to let all white men vote without jeopardizing their pros. pects for success. . i - 5 ‘Demoeratic Gain, B . Tip Ballard, who was recently convic. ted of forgery, in the Indianapolis-Crimi-nal Court, and ‘sentenced to two yearsin - the State’s prison, was sent to Michigan .City, on last Tuesday, in company with seven other culprits, two whites and five negroes. In view of the fifteenth amendment, and as the whole batch «fcrimi- ; -nals were *active republicans,” we are dis“posed to exult a little over the manner in ‘which, by the enforcement, of the penal . code, the Democracy have gained eiﬁt e votes. If the Criminal Courts will but - improve the time between now and October, we indulge the hope that Indiana will toll up a majority of fifteen thousand.— oßoons Lounty.
