/ . Precedents for the Democracy. ' - ' When the Democracy obtain power, as they surely will at no distant date, theg will find it easy, if they adopt Radical precedents,to do a great many thinﬁs. For instance, if they want to regulate the relation between the New England manufacturer and his operativé, they have the model of the Freedmen’s Bureau before them.

i If they desire to divide a Democratic State and make two States of it, in order to increase their vote in the Senate, without the consent of the State divided, -they have the precedent before them of West Virginia. It may be necessary to strike out that provision in the Constitution which guarantees to each State an equal representation in the Senate.— But under the republican constructions in the fourteenth and fifreenth amendments, that can be done by two-thirds of Congress or three-fouths of .the States. When it is accomplished, there jsno obsatacle to the re-modeling of the basis upon the score of population. .

-In order to get that or any other amendment ratified, it will be necessßty to’the States representation in Congress, or a vote for President and Vice President. If this does not bring them to terms, authorize a Major General in the army to purge their Legislatures and designate the right persons to sit in them. ; | If it is necessary to repudiate the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, is not_the illustrious example of Lincoln before us, who, during his Administration, put the whole Constitution in the pigeon hole to dry 7 If all of it can be (%isp'osed of in that way, how easy to get rid of a part ! If any members of Congress are particularly troublesome, they can be expelled upon the plea that they are not “loyal.” iy i We have, in fact; Republican prece dents before us for anything that it ‘may be desirable to do in order to retain power. In days that are to come our Republican' friends .will doubtless find that their precedent are like curses in the Arab proverbs, which ‘come home to roost.” The history which they are making, and which they consider so pleasant, will not be so when it is read by another light against themselves.—Cincinnati Enquirer.

! Will You Take a Sheep ? j "An old farmer about the time the tfmperance reform was beginning to exert a healthful influence in the country, saia to his hired man: “Jonathan, I did not think to mention to you, when I hired you, that I/ think of trying to do my work thig 'year without rum. How much more must I give you to induce you to do without ?”’ Lot ~ “Oh, I don’t care much about it,” said Jonathan, “you may give me what you please.” ‘ “Well,” said the farmer, “I will give you a sheep in the fall, if you will do without.” ity “Agreed,” said Jonathan. The oldest son then said : “Father, will you give me a sheep too, if I do without?’ “Yes, Marshall, you shsll have a sheep if you do without.” - Tge youngest son, a stripling, then said : “Father, will' you give me a sheep if I will do without?” : “Yes, Chandler, you shall have a sheep also, if you will do without rum.” i Presently Chandler spoke again :* “Father, hadn’t you better take a sheep too.” ridy Not a Bad Plece of Advice. : A philosopher ‘whose educational works are - published, récently recommends toacier‘s instructing children learning to read, to get themselves into a due appreciation of the trials and | difficulties of the learner, ‘and of the pro;l)er abasement of their own: pride of intellect, by trying to read any ordinary primes upside down. Thenceforth they will find themselves not 8o willing to pull the ears and knuckle the heads, and rap the hands of ‘)oor young' entlemen,_wgo_ know their létters, in'§eed. but who boggle over whole ‘words: On the uptivise down page the ‘teacher himself will be able to distinguish and name each letter perfectly 'wefl? but not if he were Solomon him‘gelf could he read off a paragraph with‘out éxposing himself to the danger of _corporeal punishment at the hands of [Lahtmy judge.

| ABLUSH-WHATISIT? , What a mysterions thing is a blush —that a sing{e look or thought, should lend that inimitable carnation over the cheek, like the soft tints of a summer sunset. Strange, too, that it is only the face—the human face—that is: caable of blushing. The hand or foot Soes not turn red with modesty or shamé, any more than the glove or stocking that covers it. The human face is the leaven of the soul, where .may be traced the intellectual phenomena, with a confidence amounting to a moral certainty. - A single iluah should put the infidel to. shame, and prove to him the absardity of the doctrines of chance. This phenomenon is a demonstration of physiognomical gcience, } :

What is it. that so skillfully touches this beautiful instrument ! What is it that enjoys as well as actuates, receives as well as communicates, through this inscrutable organization?} It is, as we have said, the soul or spirit, without which this body were,more unmeaning than a statve. It is the goul which ‘animates the features and causes them to present aliving picture | of each passion, 8o that the inmost ag- | itations of the heart, become visible in | a moment, and that the wish that ' would seek concealment, betrays its presence and its power in the vivid eye, while the blood kindles into crim- | ' son witha thought that burns along ] the brow. It is this that diffuses a ‘sweet serenity and rests upon the vis-'-‘ age when our feelings are tranquilized and our ocean in a calm, reflecting the 1 l peaceful glories of the cloudless skies. |~ This indwell spirit of power blends l our features into unison and harmony, | and awakes the “music breathing from | the face’”” when in association with those we love, and heart answering to l heart, we live in sympathy, while memory - and hope repose alike in smiles upon the bosom of enjoyment. - It is a flame from heaven, purer than Prometheon fire, that vivifies and energies the breathing form. It is an immaterial essence, a being thut quick“ens matter, and imparta life, sensation, motion to the intricate frame of ouri bodies, which wills when we act, at- ! tends- when we perccive, looks ‘into | -the past when we reflect, and not con- | tent with present, shoots with all its aims and all its hopes into futurity that is forever dawning upon it.— Agaiu we repeat that a single blush ‘upon “the ‘haman face divine” should | put to shame the absurd believers in| the docrines of chance.—Phrenological Jowrnal. - L ,

Suecessful Mormon Proselytism in the Eastern States. ‘ ; ‘While Congress is legislating for the eradication . of polygamy in far-off Utab, it would perhaps be well for our law makers to turn their attention to the alarming strides this peculiar doctrine is making even on Long Island. In the neighborhood of Hempsted, Baldwinsville and ' other places, the people of Mormon proclivities are becoming aware that danger is at hand, some having it'that the prophets in the “valley of the mountains” bave had a revelation from the Most High, warning them of coming trouble by fire and sword, and consequently a grand rally around the banner of the Latter-day-Saints is anticipated. An elder of the flock in Williamsburg asserts that:che Mormons located on Long Island are wealthy, and ‘willing to-co-operate in the work.' B .

T'wenty of them have already rented a meeting house in Baldwinsville, where they hold forth three times a day. At Patchogue is located the nucleous of another branch'; at Rockville, another ; and Freeport isatpresent the seat of a grand effort to establish still another. In Connecticut also are a number of missionaries, who became Mormons years ago, went out to Utah, and on the call for laborers in the Eastern States, were chosen to come among their friends and preach to them. Boston and many other princi%al towns in Massachusetts, Maine, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, have been set apart as districts, which are now being worked. It is affirmed by the. New York T%nes that all these reports are verified by the leading Mormon church dignitaries now in the vicinity of that city.—Boston Post.

AT NlGHT.—Here i 8 one of Thackery’s pleasant iouches: “It is night now, and here is home. Gatbered under the quiet roof, elders and children lie alike at rest. In the midst of a great peace and calm the stars look out'from the heavens. The silence is peopled with the past, sorrowful remorses for sin and short comings, memories of passionate joys and griefs rise out of ‘their. graves, both now alike calm and sad. Eyes, as I shut mine, look at me, that bhave long ceased to shine. The town and the fair landscapes sleep under the starlight wreathed in the autumn’ mists. Twinkling among the houses, a light keeps watch here and there, in what may be a silk chamber or two. 'The clock “tolls sweetly in the silent air. “Here is night and rest. An awful sense of thanks makes the heart swell, and ' the 'head bow, as I' pass to’' my room through the sleeping house. and fell as though a hushed blessing were upon-it.”

The Philadelphia Bulletin thus describes Mark T'wain’s pedigree: «“Mr. Mark. T'wain’s real name is Wampau-tillimacglaberty. . He : was converted by a Bohemian priest named O’Callahan. He speaks the English language fluently, and firmly be-: lieve that Geo, Washington was an Irishman who discovered ‘Amerieca, and was rescued by Pocahontas from an awful death on Plymouth Rock, after a perilous ' voyage in the Spanish Armada, which hesaved from ruin by icutting down & mast with a little hatehet which had been givgn him by his father, ‘who perished in the storm, and 8o could not give his son permission to leave a post which the heroic boy firmly refused to forsake without his fatlxe#sﬂorder.”v- i, Db ‘ _Bnmcg has a facultLof getting things cheap.

' MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. A VERY little boy, after giving everybody a good-night kiss, kneeled at his mother’s "side to aag his evening' prayer. He repeated “Now I lay me down to sleep,” etc., and continued, God bless papa and mamma and make them good OE:isﬁans ; God bless little Jimmie, and make him a good boy.” His mamma added, “God bless every body.” -At this last sentence he 'was gilent. His mother repeated it a- sec-, ond and a third time, when he raised his head, opened his beautiful eyes, and said: ~Everybody but Bob, mamma. Bob drowned my ecat today.” -4 ' : , How TOo CLEAN LAMP ('HIMNEYS.—Most people’in cleaning lamp chimneys use. eithersa brush made of bristles twisted into a wire, ar a rag. on the point of scissors. Both of these are bad ; for, without great care, the wire or scissors will scratch the glass as a diamond does, which under the expansive power of heat, soon breaks, as all scratched glase will. If you want a neat little thing that costs nothing, and will save half your glass, tie a piece of sofi sponge, the size of, your chimney, to a pine stick.— Western Rwal. - | °

THE young lady who rises early and rolls up her sleeves and walks into the kitchen to get breakfast, or asgists in doing 80, and afterwards, with cheerfulness and sunny smiles, puts her house in order without the assisance of her mother, is worth a thousand parlor beauties, who, for the want of exercise, complain of ' ennni, and lounge in luxurious ease. The former will make a good wife, and render home a paradise; the latter is a useless piece of furniture, and will, to the annoyance of the household, go whining to the grave, Let her go. . The %ichmond Enguirer says that a good Northern man, who is ready to co-operate carnestly and vigorously with our society, will find a cordial reception everywhere in Virginia. One who is peering about to see what he can make out of the accidents of our position, to improve his individual fortune at the expense of any or all of our citizens, ought to expect distrust. - A poor Milwaukie printer, named McNight, has prospered greatly within a few years, and is now editor of Brigham Young’s official paper and owns a corner lot and three wives.— He might have remained in Milwaukie until this time and he never could have had bpt one wife at a time.

: 2 ' From the Huntington Democrat. ECTURE ON FEMALE SUFFRAGE. _ The Bbvelty of & lecture 6n “Woman’s Rights” drew a large and appreciative audience to the Methodist Church, on Sunday evening last. The lecture was by the pastor in charge—the Rev. Wm. E. McCarty. G s b iy “a The reverend speaker selected his text from the 81st chapter of Proverbs, 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th and 80th verses : “She opeu‘t'?th her mouth’with wisdom, and in ner tongue is the law of kindness. She lvoketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. ‘Her children rise up and call her blessed ; her hushand, also, praiseth her. Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. Favor is deceitful, and ‘beau,ty'_is‘vain ; but a woman that gareth ‘the Lord, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her own works praise her in the gates.” j The reverend speaker said it bhad ever been a mark of grandeur in’revealed religion that it exalted woman, and appreciated her influence in society; while it had ¢ger been a peculiar characteristic of false religion to degrade and reduce her to the condition of a slave of man's passion, even danying her a spiritual nature, and immortality. . She was presented by the Bible as a helpmate for man, and to have such a hold on his affections as toinduce him to leave father and mother and clzave nnto her, Her influence has been such that society depended upon her.— Man’s happiness 1n time and eternity de: pended measurab'y on the lessons received from the moiher in the nursery. After God had made man, he saw it was not good for bim to be alone. He therefore made for him a helpmate. Not out of the dust of the earth, but of his own flesh and boue, thus showing the relations in which she should be regarded by man.— Not out of his head to govern him, nor out.of his feet to be trampled upon, but from’hié side, near his heart, to be cherished as (fearly as his own flesh, that she might be his most intimate companion in life. As a mother she has a stronger holdupon the-affections of the family than any other member-—shie is the leaven of kindness that leavens the whol¢ lump. In her relations to the world, 1t is with her to wield the destinies of families, neighbor hoods and communities, for weal or for woe. Ia the earlier ages, woman was in subjection to a system worse than slavery. She wus taken by force, or sold by the parents. The church has ameliorated her condition. Her.wrongs in former ages cannot be received at this period as anergument in favor of a reform -against. nature; nor is there anything to be gained by any demands in her behalif that exceed the proportions of her power, and condi‘tions. Wi

It is not an argument in favor of woman suffrage that she cannot be employed-:in dangerous . and perilous places. These ‘points are not made by modern reformers. They say woman must have her rights ; she is the. cqual'of ‘man, and has therefore an equal right toivote. In this brief statement there is a plain untruth. It is not true that woman is the equal of man. They are equally women as men are men, and equally human as man. So far they are equally entitled to protection as men. But it does not hence appear that they are equal to man. They may be superior, or inferior to mar. = But what is much more probable is, they are very unlike in kind to men —so unlike that in the civil state they had better stand back, for their own sake and -for the public good, from any claim of right in the publi¢ administration of the laws. The dissimilarity between them is radical and essential. Tt runs through all the spheres. Distinct as they are in body, form and feature, they are equally so in mental and ‘moral characteristics. They neither think. feel, wish, purpose, nor will act alike.— What place each- shall fill; what work each shall do; what standard each can reach, must be left to nature to determine. Asthey areso very unlike in kind, there can be no predication of equality between them, and’the argument in her behalf is inconclusiye. - :

Itisa q'ued‘ign for open debate whether it will be for the public good that women shall become partakers in the .rights of suffrage and representation. When a clear view is taken of the rights of exercising the ballot, ‘it furnishes rather a: coarse spectacle. - Men, women and children—christians and sinners—marching to the songs of each political party. This would certainly lead to the most corrupt .and intolerable government in the world: But here comes my opponent and says, ‘let the ladies .vote—it will civilize the polls and be & law of grace and refinemernt. In all public affairs, since the world Legan, to refine society has been _woman’s missson. As she has carried refinement to the household, to ‘the church, to social ‘life, to literature, art, 'to every interest except government, ske will also carry it to legislative and’ civil and public proceedings. The reverend speaker: could not agree with Mr. Beecher. It is just because woman has kept aloof from the, stormy scenes of political life, that she has been an ornament; and-graced society. Let “her entef” political life with ‘her God-given grace, nndjbe%t‘l_tif‘ul.f heart, ‘and she_loses her influence and becomes everywhere as if she were a man. Wo-. .man is goingsiobe;ac_téd on as,v:v.gfl' as to act, if she goes into political life; and she can do nothing with her nature ifshe abuses ‘it. - Female suffrage was, tested years ago in New: Jersey. .In, the great. contest between the old Federal and Democratic ‘parties; in the year 1800, women ‘universally voted in that State—women of all colors—from the ages of eighteen ~upwards. . The historian relates that some voted not only once, but as often as they cond o e, Shold e rt change take place now what would be the effest? _ The speaker depicted the probable change that womsn would undergo. “aa politician. From the lovely being of the “present, a coarsé, vulgar, forward, “selfish, hungry looking race wofld spring ap,touciod with biight, idd and s treless. Tt is o part of the reform that

women are to be candidates, and, of course, thrown upon waves of temptation and ex: citement ; put to strains of principles intensely severe; and if men will give everything at the polls for success, there is no doubt woman will show like mortal infirmities. They must take the stump—woman against woman, or woman against man. If nothing be said of the field fight, but only of the vote, they may not do so well, for & woman can doubtless be as bad as a man. ' 2 s . Woman suffrage in its relation to the family circle, is likely to have a most: demoralizing influence. In the creation, God made maleand female, and they were to constitute a complete one. The proposed reform’ will loosen every link of the family state. (Here the speaker referred to an extract in a free love paper scoffing at the conventional marriage rites, By i ; .

The lecture was closed by a truthful delineation and well-merited rebuke of the modern methods of female education. The tendency of these modern inmova‘tions was to develop the passions, and many of the fashionable boarding schools were public curses, for they made pupils ‘mere party ‘ toys, senseless chatter-boxes ; and eventually poor wives and. mothers, Not a thousand miles from this - place there was a school -of this class, whose baneful inﬂueqce would long remain to curse, not females only, but the other sex also, with fashionable wives, &c. It only teaches the graces and accomplishments, mainly giving many names for beau catch-. ing, capsetting, coquetry, &c. They only whitewash the cutside of tight-laced, living sepuichrés, and efface almost every element of the true woman, ' They teach how to change waists into artificial forms, and faces into artificial: smiles, and how to say soft things very softly. Much as the reverend speaker deplored the sins of intemperance, he would sooner see woman properly - educated, and moving in her sphere of retined life than every drunkard on the globe reform. The latter would benefit the few—the former all mankind. . ' Many more interesting and instructive points were made, but we have not the time to write them out. ’

THE FUNDING BILL AS PASSED BY 4. THESENATE. * 'The funding bill ad'it passed the Senate, says the Anderson Plaindealér, provides for the issue of four hundred millions coupons or registered ten-forty ' year bonds bearing five per cent. coin interest for disposal in the United States or elsewhere at not less than par value for coin or exchange for five twenty bon‘s of equal aggregate par value; also for four hundred millions of fifteen-forty year bonds bearing four and s half per cent. comJpeund interest, for similar dispesal atnot less than par valué for coin or the redemption of bonds bearing a higher rate of interest; also for the issue ot four hundred: millions of twenty-forty year bonds bear ing four per cent. coin interest for similar disposal at not less than -par value. for coin or the redemption of bonds bearing a higher rate of interest; also’ for the issue of four hundred® millions of twenmtyforty year bonds bearing four per cent. coin interest for similar disposal at not less than par yal'u%, for ¢coin or the redemption of outstanding bonds - A further issue of the last nawned bonds is authorized, at the discretion of the Secretary of the Treasury, provided the aggregate debt ot ‘the United States is not thereby increased. All these bonds are to be entirely exempt from taxation, for State, county, towuship, city, poor, bridge, school, and all other purposes, the labor of the tountry being made to supply the taxation, from which the wealth of the country is to be exempt. . - S

The Secretary of the Treasury, says the Ohio Statesman, is authorized to appoint agents in the United States for the ‘negotiation of these bonds, and a sum not exceeding the half of one per cent. is appropriated to pay the expenses of preparing issuing and disposing” of the same, which provision, -if the bill passés, . will afford the richest kind of picking for the bankers. . ; 2 A

One hundred and fifty wmillion dollars, annually, of duties on imported goods are applied to the payment of the interest and the reduction of the principal of the public debt, and the United States bonds nowheld as a sinking fund in the treasury, as well as those hereafter published, shall be canceled and destroyed on and after the first of October next. Registered ‘bonds of any denomination not less than one thousand dollars are to be issued under the provisions of this act, and ai‘,q to be deposited with the treasurer as security for circulatien of national banks. The citculatioi; of those banks which do not comply with this provision within one year from the passage of the act are to be forfeited, provided banks shall be allowed upon giving thirty ‘days notice ‘to she comptroller of currency to: deposit legal tender notes with the treasurer to the amount - of outstanding circulation and take up the bonds pledged for its redemp tion, and provided further, that no more than one-third of the bonds deposited by any bank as such security shall be of either of the classes of bonds hereby author ized on which a.maxim rate of interest is fixed at four and a half or five per cent, per annum. The amount of circulating “notes received by any bank shall not ex‘ceed eighty per cent. of the par value of tbe bonds deposited. . :

The last section -authorizes that banks be authorized, and do . business on depositing fifty thousand dollars' in United . States notes with the comptroller of the currency in.exchange for four per cent. bonds, and. receive circulating notes, the ‘same as other - banks, without respect to the limitations of the aggregate circulation of the national currency.; provided, however, that as circulating notes are used under this section, an equal amount of United States'notes shall be eanceled and destroyed.” : ; o . Such is the scheme as it is given in the papers, to make a great public debt, one of the fixed institutions of the country, the tax payers every twenty.years-paying the entire debt in' interest. . U o Another Chance for the ‘Christian : Statesman.” .. . - ; ~Cumback, the irrepressible, is not ‘played out’ by any means. The attempts of the enemies to bave him sent -as Minister to some one-horse foreign- court, utterly failed. But now a new avenue to fame and honor opens before him. - The Marion Chronicle, already announces him for Governor of the State in 1872. To be sure, it is a loiig ways ahead, but there is nothing sained by being behind time, and starting this early he will bave the prestige of a good start. | We have no objections to him running for the office, but wo fear that there are some prominent members of the Radical party in this State who are not 8o generous. : It is bard for them to forget some 9§lh§§ }_i{t_tie tricks to place himself in the United States Sen. ate, and they will not allow: him to pick: up the prize without &' strugg]e.',,:,_; TR

DR s ,-.,:,f;-:{\r:'jxags.'am:u‘vm;g‘vwﬂ,a,;f, \ These “great twin brethren” were born about the year 1825, at Bang Meklong, a village of fishermen situated at the mouth of the river Meklong, and distant about, thirty miles from the populous capital of Siam. - Their father wasa Chinaman, and their mother was of Sismese descent only on her maternal side. The Twins arc, therefore, three quarters Chinese by blood and one-quarter Siamese. . Any one familiar with the oblique ey¢, and other strongly marked features which characterize the Mongolian race, will at once notice how thoroughly the Twins betray by the cast of their countenances: their Chinese ori a 0 ; i ’ 8 The land of their birth is a land where the region of Buddha bas taken the firmest root. . The.practical. -rules-of conduct - which the great Messiah of Brahmipism taught have sunk deep into the hearts of the people of Siam,” and there is no tenet on which Buddha-laid greater stress than on that which upholds the sanctity of every form of animal lite. “Shed not blood, for the blool is the life,” is one of the’ great texts which the apostle from Magadha was continually enforcing; and it is probably to the practical application of this’ rule that the Siamese Twins awe ;gwir escape from an untimely destruc10D, t i

Perbaps in other countries such twins may have been born, but they have probably been destroyed or severed by a surgeon’s knife, to take their chances of living or dying, as the Fates might determine. But in Siam, maternal affection, being strengthened by the maxims of religion, allowed no interference ; and so the Twins, who belonged to'the humblest ranks of life, grew up to the age of seventeen or eighteen years amidst the fishermen of their native village. In those days, the gates of Siam were ¢losely barred against foreigners—no trade with the white faced strangers was permitted, and the rulers-of this little kingdom, trembling. with hatred and fear, sat watching the progress of English arms in Birmah, with a conviction that they themselves, too, were one day to be swallowed up by the pale, grey-eyed invaders. 5 5 In the midst of these agitations, there arrived an American vessel in the roadstead ‘at Bangkok, laden with a large quantity of condemned guns and other military stores, which the astute Yankee had bought up in & Government auetion ‘at Calcutta, and expected to sell at-a high price to the Siamese authorities, who, as he imagined, would be only too'glad to procure European weapons to turn in case of need agsinst European intruders. "It was then his plan to invest the purchase money in rice, in’'those days abunggnt-and cheap in Siam, and scarce and.dear in China. _But the jealous rulers of theland would not buy his guns, and they displayed their malice in forbidding any of the people to sell the stranger rice By some piece of %ood luck, the disap‘pointed mariner fell in with the Twiné and, baving ‘once enticed them on board his craft, he was not long in weighing anchor, and went whistling down the Gulf of Siam, quite alive to the valde uf the prize he had secured. By exhibiting ‘these. Twins in the civilized world he made a fortune for himself and for them; and when they:had accumulated suflicient “means; the Siamese brothers settled “in Americsa. i

. They each of them married, and have - each of them a family. ‘lt was only very recently that their parents in Siam died. “In. consequence of pecuniary losses 'sustained during the late troubles in't‘im Southern ‘States of America, it became expedient for these twins to again appear before the public. They therefore came to London, during the early part of last year, and the discussion which then arose in some of the current journals in connec: tion. with a proposed surgical operdtion, was probably nothing more than a “puff,” _cleverly got up'to “draw” a wonder-lov. ing public. Noseverance by the knife of -8 surgeon ‘was ever seriously contemplated.— Cassell's Magazine. . - ) < 3 The President in the Lobby. President Grant came down to the senate the other day, and spent several hours there lobbying senators in behalf of the Dominican annexation treaty. - This is the first time in the history of this country that the president has gone to the eapitol‘to employ personal solicitation as a means of obtaining the votes of mewbers of either house for a measure in which he might happen to be interested.It is certainly not a dignified proceeding ; but as it is not forbidden by the constitution, it is not necessary to object to it, ' But it is to be desired that the president should resort to this kind of influence only in meritorious cases. Such thisDominjcan treaty is-not. It is a job, and is full of iniquity. Fraud is stamped upon - all its features. It is designed to cheat the people of the United Statesout of both honor and money ; and its pecuni ary dishonesty is something enormous.-— The nature of the swindle has been 8o well and so widely exposed, that it is hard to understand how Gen. Grant should now identify himself with such a transaction. - If there was nothing in this:scheme of ‘annexation that was intended to defrand the United States, the treaty ought still to be rejected. There isa civil war in St. Domingo. To annex'that republic at present is to take this civil war upon our: selves. ~Spain—a much greater power than the United States in the estimation -of Gen.: Grant—tried it, and had to give up the undertaking.
