RESOLUTIONS.

The following resolutions were presented by the committee on resolutions: Resolved, That we adhere with undi minished confidence and pride to the party, that by its wisdom and courage preserved the Union, and by a change in the organic law of the Republic established liberty and equality. We believe that by the continual ascendency of the Republican party will be secured the ser vices of free government that it is the safe-guard of the constitution, the promoter of education, order, industry, thrift, universal freedom and equal rights.

Resolved, That we congratulate the country on the success of the present administration, which has without increase of taxation reduced the national debt over one hundred and sixty millions of dollars, by an honest and economical collection of revenue and a large reduction of expenses of the government and we especially congratulate the country on the .act that thfcs policy has made it possible to reduce the internal revenue and tariff duties eighty millions of dollars, thus relieving the people of burdens to this extent without imperilling the national faith or honor.

Revived, Xbat a tariff for revenue is indispensable, and should be so adjusted as to oe the least prejudicial to the industrial and producing interests of every class or section, while securing to the home producer,a fair competition against the foreign producer.

Resolved, That a change of our navigation laws so as to admit the registration of vessels purchased abroad, is demanded by the best interests of the country, and that such action would again give to our plundered commerce the supremacy of the seas.

Resolved, That the policy of granting subsidies of public lauds to corporations and monopolies, is unqualifiedly condemned.

Resolved, That adhering to our traditional policy of neutrality, the American people look with profound indifference upon any European controversy regarding dynasties interests merely, and are concerned in the present struggle between Germany and France only so far as the same shall involve the great principles of liberty and while we remember

u|£2fr

CAREER.

NAPOLEON'S

A Rose-Colored Picture Life.

His Attempts and Failures to Secnre the Crown.

The Paris Moniieur of April 21, 1803, contained the following announcement: "Yesterday at 1 o'clock her Majesty, the Queen of Holland, wa£ safely delivered of a prince. In conformity with article 40, of the act of the constitution of 28 Floreal, year 12, the Chancellor of the Empire attested the birth, and wrote im' mediately to the Emperor, the Empress, and the King of Holland to communicate the intelligence. At 5 o'clock in the evening the act of birth was_ received by the Arch-Chancellor, assisted by his Eminence, Reynault de St. Jean d'Angely, Minister of State and State Secretary to the Imperial family. In the absence of the Emperor theprince has not yet received his name. This will be provided for by an ulterior act, according to the orders of his Majesty."

A day or two afterward the young moth' er received the following letter: "BORDEAUX, April 23,1808, "I am my des? Hortense, in an excess of joy. The tidings of your happy accouchment were brought to me yesterday by Mr. DeVilleneuve. I felt my heart beat the moment I saw him enter. But I cherished the hope that he had only good tidings to bring me. I received second letter, which assures me that you are very well, and also your son. I know that Napoleon will console himself not having a sister, and that he already loves very much his brother. Embraca them both for me. But I must not write too long a letter for fear of fatiguing you. Take care of yourself with the utmost caution. Do not receive too much company at present. Let me hear from you every day. I await tidings from you with as much impatience as I love you with tenderness. OSEPHINE."

This child, born under such flattering auspices, and destined to undergo the strangest mutations of fortune that imagination can conceive, was the third son of Louis Bonaparte and Hortense Beauharnais. The first had died in infancy and the second was the Napoleon alludec to in the note we have copied. Louis and Hortense were an ill-assorted couple, brought together by the ambition of Josephine and the exigencies of state. The Empress, with no hope of an heir herself, and Knowing the intense desire of her hus band for a successor to the imperial crown, arranged this unfortunate marriage be tween his favorite brother and her only daughter—feeling perhaps a dim fore shadowing that at some distant day her

f'ranee,

randchild might sit upon the throne of and find more happiness there than ever she had tasted. By a decree of the Senate these two children declared heirs to the empire should Napoleon and his elder brother Joseph die without issue, and this decree was submitted to the people and ratified by a vote of 3,522,675 to 2,599. But the schemes of Josephine seemed to fail almost at the moment of consummation. She was not permitted even to participate in the christening of the boy whose birth she had hailed with so much joy, for in less than two years divorce had driven her from the Tuileries, and she was living in retirement at Malmaison when Charles Louis Bonaparte was baptized by Cardinal Fesch, November 4, 1810 Napoleon and his Austrian bride, Maria Louise, acting as sponsors. On the 13th of March, 1811, the King of Rome was born, and thus, to all human appearance, vanished the last chance that the offspring of Hortense would wear the golden ring of sovereignty. When Napoleon was j-inaugurated Emperor on the Champ de Mars, June, 1813, the two boys sat beside him on the platform, and amid the roar of artillery and strains of music from an hundred bands, he presented them to the deputies of the people and to the army, as in the direct line of inheritance to the throne. The impressi«n then made upon the susceptible mind of young Louis was never after effaced. Through all the bitter trials and disappointments of his earlier life he had never forgotten the name he bears, and in going forth to meet what must be the crisis of his fate, he confides that name to his BOH, and bids him remember it and be worthy of it.

When the allied armies entered Paris Queen Hortense, who had them assumed the title of Duchess of St. Lew, was ordered to quit the city in two hours. Accompanied by Prince Schatzenberg and her children, she set out for the frontiers, and took up her residence at Pregny, in Switzerland but scarcely had she settled in her new home before a command came from the Swiss government to leave its territory at once. She had no choice but to obey, and resuming her weary journey sought refuge at Aix in Savoy. Here afresh sorrow followed her. Her husband, from whom she had been for some time separated, sent an agent to Aix with the necessary authority to demand and receive the oldest boy, and remove him to Italy, where the father then was. Again there was no alternative but submission, and the child was given up though the agony of parting almost drove the mother mad. Hardly was this pang over before a summons arrived from the French authorities ordering the immediate^ expulsion of Hortense from the Sardinian bor-

ders. Homeless and friendless, she sought out a quiet spot on the shores of Lake Constance, and here she was permitted to remain for a few months. Bereft of all else, she devoted herself to. the care and education of her son, superintending all his studies, giving him lessons in drawing and dancing, and selecting his reading.

Saturday was always employed in reviewing the studies of the week, and the anxious mother, herself highly educated, spared no pains to direct the culture of her son in the proper channel. But the jealous Bourbons did not long allow Hortense to linger in her humble retreat. She was obliged to leave Baden and go into the small Swiss canton of Thurgovia, and there at last the exile found permanent shelter in the chateau of Arenemberg, which continued to be her favorite residence until death. Here, too, the two brothers were united again, and in 1819 Hortense took them to Augsburg, in Bavaria, and entered them at the celebrated college in that city, where mother and son remained until the graduation of the latter. After the completion of his education, Prince Louis returned to Arenemberg and spent several years in military studies, particularly the artillery branch, and employed his leisure time in pedestrian excursions through the Alps and Italy. The French revolution of 1830 aroused him from his peaceful pursuits, and believing that the hour had arrived for the assertion of their claims, the exile members of the Bonaparte family, including Hortense and her two boys, met for consultation in Rome. The latter decided to take part in the Italian insurrection, and in answer to the earnest protest of their mother, Prince Louis wrote as follows: "Your affectionate heart will under stand our determination. We have contracted engagements which we cannot break. Can we remain deaf to the voice of the unfortunate who call us? We bear a name which obliges us to listen."

The insurrection terminated .as might have been anticipated, in utter and hopeless defeat. Napoleon Louis, worn out by the fatigues of the brief campaign, died *at Forli, March 17, 1831, and his brother fell sick at Ancona. Weak and helpless, with a price set upon his head by the Austrian Government, he owed his rescue to the unconquerable love of Hortense. Hastening to AncOha she managed to deceived the guards, and securing a private carriage, put Louis behind in the disguise of a footman—traversed the entire breadth of Italy, and embarked in a small vessel on the Mediterranean. Landing at Cannes, the fugitives went at once to Paris and threw themselves upon the protection of Louis Phiippe. This generous monarch, though not unwilling to aid them, was afraid to grant them a personal interview, but sent the President of the Council to call upon fie. She addressed him thus: "Sir, ther. My only means of saving my son was to come to France. I know very well that I have transgressed a law. I am well aware of the risks we run. You have a right to cause our arrest. It would be just." "Legal, madame," replied the Minister, "it might be, but not just."

The result of this meeting was that Hortense and the Prince were advised to go to England, and thither accordingly they went and remained several months, receiving great attention frqm the Duke de Bedford and other prominent noblemen. In the spring of 1862, the President and Couiepil of the canton of Thurgovia conferred upon Prince Louis the right of citizenship, and invited him to jg+b

of His Early there before a Polish deputation appeared, bearing a letter from Gen. Knaizewiez, Count Platen, and other leading men of

Glad-

pat himself under their protection ly accepting the offer, Hortense and her

son returned to their old home_ at Arenemberg, but had scarcely arrived

Poland, begging Prince Loais to pat him self at the head

of their nation in a final

ruggle for independence. The entreaty was not in vain, and Louis set out for Poland but before he had gone far the news of the fall of Warsaw reached him, and he returned to Arenemberg In July, 1832, Napoleon's son, the Duke of Reichstadt, died, leaving none but Joseph and Louis Bonaparte between Prince Louis and the succession to what then seemed the barren sceptre of the imperial dynasty. This quickened his hopes and inflamed his ambition. He renewed his military studies, and gave to the world several books of considerable merit, among them "Reveries Politiqnes" and "Manuelsur l'Artillerie." In October, 1836, occurred the memorable fiasco atStrasburg, from the consequences of which Louis was saved by the fears of Louis Phillippe, who did not dare to punish with death a scion of that family whom France still worshipped. He was banished to the United States, and Hortense, who, at the first news of disaster, had hastened to Paris, did not see her son again until a year later, when he stood beside her death-bed.— The stories of his poverty and dissipation in this country are wholly fabulous.— While here Prince Louis was a guest of Washington Irving, Chancellor Kent, the Hamiltons, Livingstons, and other distinguished families of New York, and conducted himself in a manner befitting his rank. He had contemplated an extended tour through the States, but his plans were changed by an urgent letter from his mother, in obedience to which Prince Louis immediately sailed for London, made his way with great difficulty across the continent, ana arrived at Arenemberg just in time to close the eyes of a parent who had loved him better than she loved her life.

The attempt at Boulogne in 1840, his six years' imprisonment at Ham, his adventurous escape from that fortress, and the career which began in 1848, are too well known to need recapitulation. With such a marvelous past as this behind him, Louis Napoleon Bonaparte now confronts a future which will furnish a fitting climax to a story that mocks all the creations of fiction.—St. Louis Republican.

Oat Second—Will Sow Any Kind of Grata or Seed, Whether Clean or Foal. The grain is distribited by means of small double spiral feed wheels working in cups un* der the hopper: these wheels carry the grain upwards to a discharge opening in the cup and/orce it out, and with it force out straw and other obstructions. It is utterly impossible to choke it, and as evidence of this fact the wheat we have in our sample machine is naif chaff, and by turning tho wheel it is carried through as well as clean wheat.

It will sow any kind of grain, and in any quantity desirod. ......

In other force foed drills to change the feed you remove one cog wheel and put in another and the cog whoels are loose and liable to be lost. In the
