The Change of Front.

Tn tbudonmtnt of the principal and aamnrtal aims which ha pro slavery. cop porhaad Democracy has k pi s'eeaily b ▼lew tor the past twenty -five years i* not only made reluctantly and awkwardly, but with evident insincerity. Nothin* but the Impossibility of ecWeving a po lltioal vfc o*y, except through a decrptive platform, lnduoes the managers of the Democracy to propose an abandonment oftheir long -cherished Intention to. overthrow the obnoxious amendmenU to the oonetltation. The retraction of a heretic, made as the penal fires begin to acorch him, may be a very politic and life saving measure on hit put, but we have never been taught to regard his reluctant and oona rained abjuration as n very valuable tea imonial for the truth I self, nor even as a proof ot a sound and reliable conversion. Ra her than go through the agonies of final disaolu ton, the Democratic party may consent to at 1< ast profess an abandonment of its most destructive and per nicious measures, but the making of apro--fossioo is one thing, and a change of pur pose and character qul e another. It la not ih the power of party leaders like Vallandigham io change th« character and. tendencies of a groat political parly. They not only do not wish to direct the energies of the Democratic pasty in a patriotic and reformatory direction, but they could not do it If they would. They can change the professions of the party, but they cannot change its conviction* by re* - ' arranging the words jof the nary creed. One of the old prophets askeu: “ Gin the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard bis spots * Then may ye also do good that ue accustomed to do evil." The animus of a great body of men cannot be radically changed by tljc mere manipulation of political managers. Were the purpose of Vallandigham ever so hones ly entertain ed on his own pari he could not restrain the mischievous tendencies of his party when once it should be restored to the control of the government Only by a radical and honest change in the interests, convictions and feelings of 'he party can the heresies it has tenaciously held hitherto be forev< r put aside. The logical tendencies, not of a party platform, but of the real convictions of a party in power, will be carried out, let its professions or pre-determinations be what they may. It was by no means the purpose of the Republican party, at the outset, to do for the country the great and glorious things It has done. It aid not In tend to-attempt the abolition of slavery—it was even ptedg< d not to attempt its destruction. But events it could'not avert or control harried it forward with an irresistible momentum to a point it never dreamed of reaching. But it is to be observed that it followed the tine of its real conviction* It could not do otherwise. The Democratic party, when it adopt* d the policy laid down by the Southern oligarchs, did not design to go the lengths it finally reached in servility to slavery. Had General Jackson been asked if the party of which he was the head would ever consent to the treacherous repeal of the Missouri Compromise, would he not, with his wonted emphasis, have declared it impossible, and would he not have considered the question itself as an insult? Yet that party did perform that act of treachery. Did Stephen A. Douglas believe that his consenting to repeal the Missouri compromise limitation of slavery, would prepare the way for, and make inevitable, the Breckinridge doctrine that the constitution carried slavery into all the territories without reference to the will of the people? Yet bis party was carried there with a momentum he could not with stand. Did James Buchanan ever dream that be should ever be made to say that the constitution gave the President no power to coerce a seceding or rebellious State into obedience to the constitution ? If in the days of Franklin Pierce, even, he had been asked if he could take such a position, he would have said: “Is thy servant a dog that he should do this thing?” The logical tendencies of party convictions are not easily resisted—much less turned into opposite channels. The Republican party contains the ele- 1 ments which make up apatriotic, loving and progressive party. The Democratic party is arrayed against it because of opposite sympathies, tendencies and convictions. It is the same party it was in in the days of the struggle for slavery extension, and more recently for the overthrow of the Union. When the Ethiopian by mere will power changes his skin to the whitenest of the Caucassian race may the Democratic party, being accustomed to evil, learn to do good through the change of its platform of words. Let no man be deceived. The Ku-Klux of the South are the real exponents of the real animus and aims of the Democratic party. And the tendencies of the party are such as no leaders can ever hope to control into a beneficial and patriotic direction. —Toledo Blade.

A Little History.

The action of the Ohio Democratic Convention ends, for that State, a chapter of political history in this country which every man who wishes to vote wisely should carefully study. In the year 1860 the Democratic party" dominant in the Union. Its great policy was the denial of the fundamental American doctrine of equal human rights, and, under the plea of State sovereignty, the confirmation and perpetuity of human slavery. The rise of the Republican party was the protest of the national conscience against this monstrous policy. The protest became so commanding that the most logical and resolute of the Democratic chiefs, toreseeing the ultimate catastrophe of their course, brought on the war of the rebellion. The mass of the Northern Democrats denounced the Republicans as morally responsible for the war by their unconstitutional hostility to the extension or slavery, while some individuals, like Butler, Dickinson, and others, cordially supported coercion. But diving the whole war the steady opposition to every necessary measure of war proceeded from the Democratic party. It called the war wicked, fratricidal, and unnecessary. It derided the President with every epithet of contempt. It nominated notorious Copperheads for office in the various States. In Connecticut its candidate for Governor wis the well known Mr. Seymour of thit State. In Ohio it nominated Mr. Vallandigham, who had so openly espoused the cause of the rebellion that he was sent beyond the Union lines. In New York it elected Horetio Seymour, who incited the July riots of 1863. Everywhere and always it paralysed action and demoralized opinion,' until in 1864 it solemnly declared the war a failure, and demanded surrender to the rebellion. Meanwhile the faithful and patriotic citizens of the Union stood fast and united against the cannon of the rebels, and the moral support of those cannon offered by the Democratic party, and unconditionally subdued the rebellion. Then came Mr. Johnson ana his treachery. He denounced Republican legislation, and the Democrats supported him, declaring the whole Republican reconstruction, as they had declared the Republican conduct of the war, to be unconstitu tional, revolutionary, and void. Emboldened! by tfc* possibility of their ascenden- j ej, the smothered feelings in the Southern States showed itself in the massacres at New Orleans and Memphis, and the loyal people of the country, seeing these [things, and hearing Democratic speeches and reaolntions, closed their ranks and elacteAGipKal Grant Atkat, faroatvtng that the people of

the United States have repudiated the traditions, the opinions, the policy, the can didatee, the spirit, of the Democratic party, some of its leaders are trying to do the same, In the hope that when every thing distinctively Democratic hat disappeared, the people may not be unwilling to trust a party which retains only the name. The Ohio Democratic Convention, therefore, under the presidency of e gentleman who was in favor of seces•ion, has nominated for Goveruor a soldier of the fratricidal and unconstitutional war; and at the lnetancq pf another gen tlcman, who wished to surrender to the rebellion in 1864, and who declared Republican reconstruction revolutionary and void in 1808, resolves that Republican re construction Is valid and must be enforced. Yet, even this action was by no means unanimous. After a stormy struggle, a vote was 865 yeas against 129 nays. This history shows that the Democratic leaders, despising the conscience and underrating the intelligence of the Amcri can people, fell from power. Their policy was inhuman, their appeals were odious, their methods were corrupt. The Democratic party became s national curse. It struggled to perpetuate slavery, and, in order to succeed, It debauched and degrad ed the public mind. Yet it continually claimed to be peculiarly a constitutional party; and in the name of the Constitution connived at the rebellion to overthrow it. It now proposes, in Ohio, to ask for the popular confidence on the ground"that it has never deserted it. It accepts as much ofthe Republican policy as it can not hope to defeat, and now calls the rest of it, as it formerly called the whole, unconstitutional. And what to-day it brands as unconstitutional, revolutionary, and void, it will to-morrow commend as valid, if it is necessary to obtain power. Meanwhile is the Union surer with those who have fought and suffered for it, or with those who practically connived at secession? Is freedom safer with those who have been its friends always, or with those who were yesterday its fiercest foes? Is honest administration more probable with intelligence and conscience, or with ignorance and contempt of “ moral ideas? ’ Are popular institutions more stable with the unswerving friends of the public school system, or with those who are allied with ecclesiastical enemies ? Is respect for the Constitution more probable with those who amendod it, as itself provides, to enlarge the securities of equal rights, or with those who are willing to acquiesce in ‘•usurpation” under it, and to declare what.they call its most flagrant violations valid? The action of the Democratic Ohio Convention is the most signal vindication of the Republican ascendency in the gov. rninent, and the frankest confes sion that the general conduct of that party is approved by the good sense of the country. — Harper's Weekly.

They Will Give Us What We Want.

The monosyllabic sentence is from the mouth of au unhanged traitor, Jefferson Davis. He spoke of the Northern Democracy, and he added, ‘‘and we shall put them in power.” (h This announcement, official from the late Confe3eracy, was made last week, at Alanta, Ga. Ycsterday, the Democratic State Convention of Ohio met at Columbus, and the Democratic State Centrul Committee of Tennessee met at Nashville; and both these bodies claimed to speak, officially for the Northern Democracy, whom the Confederate President says are to be put in power by the Democracy of the South “ because they will give the South what she wants.” The Confederate President, in making this announcement, should have put it in this fashion: “ The Northern Democracy will give us what we want and we Bhall put them in power. But, Georgians, the Northern Democracy in some of the States will solemnly aver that they accept everything. You must not be disappointed at their declarations. The Northern Democracy must catch the wavering Radical vote by lying miscellaneously in the Democratic platforms. We understand each other perfectly.” What Mr. Davis did say was this: “I ncc“pt nothing. 1 have done nothing that I am sony for. I shall not abide by the issue o£,the wsr. The South is only walling. '• he cau-e for which we fought must triumph sooner or later. Our policy Is to watch the current of events, and when our triends at the North are ready to help us. we will help them. They will give us whatrwe want, and we shall pat them in power." This portion of his speech, wholly unmodified by anything that preceded or followed it, evoked tumultuous applause from the rebel crowd, and Davis retired, proud of the courage that had enabled him to open his heart and mouth at the same time. The Democratic Btate Convention, yesterday, at Columbus, could not swallow Vallandigham’s proclamation in its original sackcloth; but it put ashes on its head, and with due gravity declared its acceptance of the three amendments, with this saving clause confirmatory of Davis’ promise and prediction—“ while denouncing “ the extraordinary means by which they “ were brought about.” ! The relation between this clause and the fixedness of the amendments, should the Democracy again seize the government, is betrayed a little mere boldly by the fifth resolution, which is as follows: “ While the fundamental la#, as expressed In the constitution, is necessarily permanent until abrogated, as prescribed by that instrument, all legislation is In Its nature and purpose temporary and subject to change, modification, or repeal, at rite will of a majority of the people; expressed through the law-making power, and that the pretence that one act of Congress, or any legislat Ive policy of a party, is an absolute finality, is totally Inconsistent with the whole theory of republican government, and that it is the unquestionable right of the people, of themselves and through their representatives at each successive election, and in each successive Congress, to judge of what legislation is necessary ana proper or appropriate to carry into execution and enforce the constitutional powers, rights, and duties of the Federal Government.” Herein lies the foolish game by which the “ advanced ” Democracy hopes to unite South and North, realizing from their union a Democratic President, a Democratic Cabinet; and then, as Mr. Davis says, “they will give the South what she wants.” The Democracy say to the North: “We accept the amendments.” The Democracy say to the South: “We accept nothing.” Then step forward the chief fuglemen and cry: “It is the unr:stionable right of the people to enact, ough their representatives, such legislation—and they alone shall be its judges—as they deem proper to enforce the constitution.” The South can be educated to a perfect understanding of 6uch phrkses, and for the certainty of- promise that the phrases make, “we shall put them in power.” The Btate Central Committee of Tennessee propose that their State shall adopt a similar juxtaposition of English words; and they respectfully refrain from asking Mr. Davis to subside, as a leading Democratic organ of Missouri requested Yallandigham. They feel that Jeff's honest expressions are as essential to Democratic union in the South as Democratic platform frauds are to union in the North. Their alleged sentiments, and those embodied in the Ohio Democratic platform, are in a measure good, but in just that measure are they the Republican platforms during three Presidential campaigns. These men would have us believe that the Democracy has actually grown up to civilization, Christianity, ana political justice, with which the Republican party have carried the country,and will carry it again; but it is unutterably stupid to suppose that the honest, intelligent and clear-headed masses of the people will call Democrats into power to enforce Republican principles.—Chicago Post.

Diving for Sturgeon.

Quite a novel mode of catching fish was invented, or at least practiced, by a youth In Brownstowc, near the month of the creek, one day last we< k. He was, It seems, bathing, or about to bathe, when he Bircelved in the water, a little way beyond m, a fish of unusually large proportions, swimming along within a very short distance of the bank, and rapidly approaching him. He had not previously expected to indulge in the pleasing sport of angling for any ofthe finny tribe, and bad not therefore provided himself with the necessary equipments. But as he saw the magnificent specimen ol the sturgeon species, so near and yet so far—apparently—he determined to make one effort to secure the “ monarch of the lakes” As the strangeri approached the bank on which Clark (the name of the bather) was standing, the latter prepared to dive, and before tliesturgeonjwas quite opposite his diving place the youth gave a leap, a plunge, and (lived beneath the water, and before the astonished sturgeon could cither escape or recover from the consternation caused by the sudden disturlmnce of the waters, he a prisoner in the arms of the youth, who could with dilllculty retain his hold of his slippery customer. The struggles of the sturgeon were pertinacious, anil nearly crowned with victory ; but by the aid of a companion he was laid panting on the bank, a proof oftbc triumph of muscle. Alter resting awhile from the fatigue caused by the combat under water, Clark, aided by his friend, carried the sturgeon home, where it was weighed, turning the scale at just seventy pounds. Clark is only about fifteen years of age, yet he accom plished what very few would have the audacity to try, and naturally felt somewhat elated at the result of his experiment in a new branch of fishing.— Detroit Post.

How a Boiler Bursts.

The Baltimore American , in speaking of the explosion of a sterm fire engine in that city a few days since, says: The whole theory of boiler explosions appears to be involved in inexplicable mystery. In the late case of Pindell against Sterling and Eherns, tried in the Superior Court of Baltimore city, before Judge Dobbin, intelligent engineers were examined as experts, and they differed greatly in their opinions and conclusions as to the immediate cause that induces the rupture of a boiler. Captain Wheeler, an engineer in the United States Revenue service, gave the generally received theory, but other engineers of equal eminence differed from his conclusions in toto. A synopsis of Captain Wheeler’s testymony appeared in the American at the time it was given and embodied about all that the experiments of men of science have given us upon this subject. It amounted to about this : When the water, is allowed to get low in the boiler the plates become red-hot, and the tensive power of the iron is greatly diminished. When the cold water is turned into the boiler, the instant it touches the heated surface it‘assumes the spheroidal state, and dances about in little globules until the temperature is reduced to a certain degree, when suddenly the globules burst, and the whole mass is converted into super-heated steam, the expansive power of which is immense. The sudden impingement of this mass of steam upon the p.atcs, already weakened by the over heating, fractures the iron, and an explosion is the result.

General Rules for Preserving Fruit.

1. Let everything used for the purpose be delicately clean and dry; bottles especially so. 2. Never place a preserving pan flat upon the fire, as this will render the preserves liable to burn to, as it is called; that is to say, adhere closely to the metal, aad then burn; it should rest always on a trevet, or on the lowered bar of the kitchen range. 3. After the sugar is added to them, stir the preserves gently at first, nnd more quickly towards the end, without quitting tlieln until they are done; this precaution will always prevent the chance of their being spoiled. 4. All preserves should be perfectly cleaned from (he scum os it rises. 5. Fruit which is to be preserved in syrup must first be blanched, or boiled gently, until it is sufficiently softened to absorb the sugar; and a thin syrup must be poured on it at first, or It will shrivel instead of remaining plump and becoming clear. Thus, if its weight of sugar, is to be allowed, and boiled to a syrup, with a pint of water to the pound, only half the weight must be taken at -first, and this must not be boiled with the water more than fifteen or twenty minutes at the commencement of the process; a part of the remaining sugar must be added every time the syrup is reboiled, unless it should be otherwise directed by the receipt. 0. To preserve both the true flavor and color of fruit both in jams and jellies, boil them rapidly until they are well reduced, before the sugar is a ided, and quickly afterward, but do not allow them to become so thickened that the sugar will not dissolve in them easily and throw up its ’Scum. In some seasons, the juice is so much richer than others, that this effect takes place almost before one is aware of it; but the drop which adheres to the skimmer, when it is held up, will show the state it has reached. 7. Never use tin, iron or pewter spoons, or skimmers for preserves, as they will convert the color of red fruit into a dingy purple, and impart, besides, a very unpleasant flavor. 8. When cheap jams or jellies are required, make thorn at once with loaf sugar, but use that which is well refilled always, for preserving in general; it is a false economy to purchase an inferior kind, as there is a great waste from it in the quantity of scum which it throws up. 9. Pans of coppey or bell-metal are the proper utensils for preserving fruit —when used, they must be scoured bright with sand. Tinned pans turn, and destroy the color of the fruit that is put into them. There is now a sort of stew pan made of iron coated with earthenware (porcelain),( which is very nice for preserving.— Mrs. Hale.

Renovating Pastures.

Old pastures are often greatly deteriorated in productiveness and quality by the incoming of moss. The lighter the soil, the sooner the moss makes its appearance, and the wider the area it occupies. We have known old pastures made nearly unproductive from this growth. So long as the soil is abundantly rich in grass food, moss will not come in; when that begins to fail, a class of plants that draw different elements from the soil—a lower and coarser typo of vegetable growth—is produced. The best old pastures, those that seem to improve with age, occupy soil that is naturally extremely rich, deep, and moist enough to favor the grass. On such favored locations pasture improves with age, because the turf thickens, and the herbage becomes tine and sweet. This process goes on for years—for a lifetime—and people talk of permanent pastures. But the best will fail with age, when the store of plant-food is exhausted, unless it be,kept good by artificial means. The law of growth, maturity and decay, holds good with the best pasture as well as with the poorest, only it requires more time to complete the cycle. ... The most practical way of renovating old pastures is to plow, crop with grain, manure, and re-seed; but as It is not always.desirable to take this course, top-

dressing may be resorted to as the next best expedient Strong liquid manure will keep urfand improve gra.» lands, and effectually restrain the growth of moss For lawns and small patches of pasture this la the best means to adopt As a dry manure nitrate of soda is one of the beat, because it is readily dissolved, and thus placed in the only available form for ap propriation by the grass roots, in which, any fertilizers can be used by them, and It likewise supplies the needed elements. Farm yard manure, spread on the surface, will force a good growth for a single sen, son, but It is not a profitable use for so valuable a manure. Fresh earth, or that made from the decay of sods, is one of the most satisfactory dressings to apply to old grass land. The effect of earth alone is ’ remarkable, and considering the cost and the benefit, this material is most profitable for common use.— American Rural Home. Sane at Last!—“ For five years,” writes a gentleman at llarrlsburgb, Pa., “ I was on a wild-goose chase after remedies for dyspepsia. I have taken, first and last, enough 'infallible cures’ to float a jolly-boat, and the more I swallowed the faster I got no better. Luckily, or rather providentially, it came Into my head to try Da. Wai.kku’s Veoetaule Vinkoar Bitters. This was about five months ago. In less than six weeks not a twinge remained to remind me ofthe complaint. lam perfectly well, and have only one regret—that I did not discover the true specific sooner." ... i—i. m The Elgin, 111., Park Association will give the following premiums on the Elgin Agricultural Society Grounds, July Sd, 4th and slh, 1871: On Monday, running races, half mile heats, purse, $l5O.

Let Common Sense Decide.

What is the rational mode of procedure in caroa of general debility and nervous prostration? Doe! not reason tell us that judicious stimulation is required? To resort to violent pnrgation in such a caee is as absurd as it would be to bleed a starving man. Yet it is done every day.. Yes, this stupid and unphiloeophical practice is continued in the teeth of the great fact that physical weakness, with all the nervous disturbances that accompany It, Is more certainly and rapidly relieved by lioe tetter’s Stomach Bitters than by any other medicine at present known. It is true that general debility is often attended with torpidity or irregularity of the bowels, and that this symptom must not be overlooked But while the discharge of the waste matter of the system is expedited or regulated, its vigor must be recruited. The Bitters do both. They combine aperient and antibilious properties, with extraordinary tonic power. Even while removing obstructions from the bowels, they tone and invigorate those organa. Through the stomach, upon which the great vegetable specific acts directly, it gives u healthy and permanent impetus to every eufeebled function. Digestion is facilitated, the faltering circulation regulated, the blood reinf&rced with a new accession of the alimentary principle, the nerves braced, and all the dormant powers of the system roused into healthy action; not spasmodically, as would be the caee if n*mere stimulant were administered, bnt for h continuance. It is in this way that such extraordinary changes are wrought in the condition of the feeble, emaciated aud nervous invalids by the use of this wonderful corrective, alterative aud tonic. Let common sense decide between such a preparation and a prbstratiug cathartic'supplemeniedby a poisonous astringent like strychnine or qulnia.

They commenced giving her the balsam at 5 o dock t> m , as directed, a dose every hour until midnight; then she took another spell of coughing, and ex ixs-to raft'd a mouthful of dark, yellow matter, which was somrthing she had not Iveen able to do for some time. They continued to give her the Balsam until niornInd, and then she began to expectorate freely, and within two hours she had expectorated three pints of mucus matter, which gave her Immediate relief; and since that time she has continued to Improve, .-he now sits up all flay, and can walk about the house and take considerable out-floor exercise. Her son bought mote of the Balsam today, and he is recommend.ng it very highly to every one. Very respectfully, A. C. JOHNSON, Druggist. Was there ever greater proof of merit than the case this l»*.tter refers to? ALLEN’S LUNG BALSAM Is without doubt the best expectorant remedy ever offered to the afflicted public. It contains no opium in any form, and Its use is harmless to the most delicate. |y Directions accompany each bottle. Contains .no Opium in any Form! Is Harmless to the Ulost Delicate Child.
