There’s n Silver Lining to '!ou<!. The Poet or l'riest who told'ua till a Served luaiikind in iliv IndieWw.'iy ; For it lit tip the earth with the star ui That beacons the sonl witli ehecrfm ray. Too often we wander, despairing and blind, Breathing our useless murmurs aloud ; But ’tis kinder to bid us seek and find “A silver lining to every cloud.” May we not talk in the’dingle ground Where nothing but autumn'sdqpd leaves are seen ; But search beneath them,andpeeriug around, Are the young spring tufts of blue and green. 'Tis a beautiful eye that, ever perceives ■ **• The presence of God in Mortality’s crowd ; 'l'ls a saving creed that thinks and believes “There’s a silver lining to i *cry cloud.” Let us look C-kmclv-J'etoijteiv J^ofideni n P.ushVs that l>c»r fruit, There may not leaves or stem, But virtue may ilvvell far down at the root; And let us beware how we utterly spurn Brothers that seem all cold aim proud, If their bosoms were opened, perchance we ' might learn “There’s a silver lining to every cloud.” Let us not east out Mercy and Truth When Guilt is before us iu chains and shame; When passion and vice have cankered youth, *And Age lives on with a branded name. Something of good may still he there, Though itvoice may never he heard aloud, For,while black with the vapors u; pestilent air “There’s a silver lining to every cloud.” Sad are the sorrows that oftentimes conic, Heavy and dull, and blighting aud chill. Shutting the light from our heart and our homo Marring our hopes and defying our will; But let us not sink beneath the woe, ’Tis well, perchance, we are tried and bowed, For be sure, though we may not oft see it below, “ There’s a silver lining to every cloud.” And when stern Death, with skeleton hand, Has snatched the flower that grew iu our breast, Do we not think of a fairer land, Where the lost are found and the weary rest ? Uli, the hope of the unknown Future springs, In its purest strength o’er the coffin and shroud, The shadow is dense, but Faith’s spirit-voice sings, “There's a silver lining to every cloud.” Eliza Cook. AY hat Radicalism Costs. Here are plain figures which every day labor er and every tax-payer can understand. “A Laboring Man” writes the following to the Ban g >r, Me., Democrat: For four day’s work in 185 ( J I could buy a barrel of excellent flour. For an equally pc ,J barrel now I have to work eight days. For one in 1809 I could buy 5 lbs. of tea. For a day's work now 1 cun buy but 2 tbs. For one (lav's work then I could buy 30" tbs. of sugar. For a day’s work now I can buy but 15 tbs. For a day's vroik in 1859 I could buy 8 Ibs, of tobacco. For a day’s work now I can buy but 3 lbs. For a day’s work in 1859 I could but 15 •tbs. of coffee. For a day's work now I can buy but 5 tbs. For one month's work in 1559 I could clothe myself and family for one year. To do the same now, 1 ain obliged to work two months am! a half. I might thus go through the whole lift of articles that a laboring man and his family consume. The fact is that wo are permitted to enjoy but one-iialf of the fruits of our labor; the other half goes to the public treasury. Is it not time for me and my fellow-laborers io look around us. asceitain the cause of this robbery of labor, and apply the remedy. - • The Tiger to Show His daws. An officer of tho Northern army, who knows Grant well, says that the people of the United States little understand the peculiar mental making up of this taciturn, gruni individual, who lias no more sentiment than he lias intel lectuality, and was born a brutal despot, lie may be correctly read by the great world, if it will glance at his inhuman slaughter of his soldiers when ho traveled his terribly bloody path along the banks of tho Rapidan, and on to Richmond, lie is said to have not the slightest degree of “gentleness” in his blood. He is cold, stolid, heartless; and was as bated by the rank and file of the army, in conse quence of his lack of soul, as he was despised by his officers for his ignorance and clownish ness. This gentleman, who was an associate v*f Grant during a great portion of the late war, declares that if elected President of the United States he will proclaim himself dictator in less than twelve mouths, and play the despot over the North as well as the South the balance of his life. The country docs not know tho man. Democrats, keep Grant where he belongs.—Aj I” Day Hook. Abont Domestic Men.

(Cheers. [Af • some further remarks of a local na ture in relation to Racine as a delightful Sum mer r -Lienee, lie continued :] T>u: n, the seventeen .years I have lived mi:mi- you, we hi*re passed through great c:*s*r otir national affairs. 1 will enumer ate . 4 of them : We’lmve seen the repeal of the Missouri compromise. The attempt to force slavery upon Kansas against the will of her people. The dissolution of the Democratic Conven tion at Charleston. The election of Mr. Lincoln ; The rebellion, and the attempt to break up the Union by the Radicals or secessionists of tho South; The supprr - -don of that rebellion by arms, at a terrible cost of life and treasure: We have seen also the complete abolition and surrender of slavery by the South, and also the light of secession. And we have seen also the plan of pacifica tion proposed by Mr. Lincoln and continued by Mr. Johnson, under the Constitution ; And we have seen that other plan proposed by Stevens and others, outside the Constitution, called Radical i construction. All these great qu stions have arisen within that brief prriod. With paramount force they have' demand.- and of every patriot an answer; the answer of his reason, not of his passiua ; the answer of an enlightened conscience, not the answer of unfbrgivi ng hate or lust for political power ; the answer of a statesman, not of a partisan or of a dunagog'ue. Without denouncing the character or motive of those who may have differed with me from time to time upon those great issues, I have f it constrained to think, to speak, and to act upon them all. Yea i i-on-iL her how I opposed .the repeal of the Missouri compromise, and the attempt of the Southernßadieals, to force negro slavery into Kansai against the will of her people, t’veive yea' s ago. A ;.J -1 .five years later, the Radicals of the Louth plunged their States into rebellion, you know how earnestly I pleaded against it; how: I urged my countrymen, my -ous, and your sons and brothers to sustain the flag of the Union, and to maintain the supremacy of the Constitution, until the last rebel in arras surrendered. (Cheers.) Those I -ties are now among the past.— Thev no longer divide men or pa: tics. And when, at length, the hour came, that the S nth surrendered accession, and, with it the institution of slavery, tho cause and the occasion of the war, you know how, since the war ceased, I have pleaded for peace, and for equal liberty in the Union under the Constitu tion, so: all the States and for all the people, East, West, North and South: not for peace with a bayonet at her breast—not for liberty with a halter ttpou her neck, awaiting military trial,'tSatmce and execution, under the recon structi-m acts of Centres ; but for the peace and that liberty which the-Con: titntion and the common law secure—the only peace and the only liberty worth having in this age and in this fr. • laud. [Great cheering.] It is not always that 1 have been cheered in this man ner here in Racine. You know what denunciations have been heaped upon me hero and elsew here, for being true to my highest convictions of duty and patriotism. But I knew that my vindication would one day come as certain as that God rules in the Heavens, and that His justice has not icft the earth altogether. [Great cheering.] My friends, every day confirms mv opinion of the wisdi n and justice of the plan ol paci fication proposed by Mr. Lincoln, andreuewed by Mr. Johnson more than three years ago. 1 have no more doubt than of my existence if that plan had heen suffered to bo carried out by Congress— The States of the South wvnld have--boon fully reorganized upon the civilized white ba cs, and their representatives admitted three year.’- ago. j Cheers. “That's so:"] There would have been a more perfect resto ration of harmony and friendly feeling than is now possible for years. The industry of the South would have been restored, and with its restoration its great markets would have been reopened to the manufacture* of tho East, and to the bread stuffs and provisions of the West. [Cheers.] The exports of her cotton, hotter than all the mines of the mountains, would have changed in our favor the balance of trade. Our six per cent, bonds would have com manded a premium in gold in every money centre in the world ; Specie payment, without shock or revulsi u, would have resumed itself; Our financial troubles far easier of solution : Our taxes less burdensome and our national credit so fully restored that a four per cent, bond would now command gold at par.- [Cheers.] My friends, just about one year ago 1 was in Germany, at Frankfort on the Main. While there, our bonds, bearing six per cent, sold at 73 ia gold, while the Loads of Brazil, bearing only four per cent, sold for over 90 in gold. That fact, which i have stated elsewhere, l e:ui never bring to mind without feeling my checks burn with •Inline and mortification.— Why is it? Why is our credit lower than that of Brazil ? It is simply because the Rad' ieals in Congress would have it so ; because they would keep the Union divided and the South paralyzed. They would allow no paci fication which did not disfranchise the most intelligent whites, and force the universal, unqualified suffrage of ignorant and half civilized blacks; and that, two, upon the ground, openly avowed, not that they wore lit to vote, hut that their votes could he used by Hie army and the Frocdniou’s Bureau to carry those States for the Uadi al candidate in tho next I’ucbideußnl election. [Cheers, and cries “Shame on Throb a policy !” But, my frieuds, it is said in Holy AVrit: “lie that diggeth a pit shall fall into it.” it may happen (n < under the providence of God it often does happen) that this most unjust .scheme of oppression, despotism, and barbar ism will destroy its authors. This deep, dark pit, thus dag by the Radi cal Congress to secure tho ends of party am bition, may he the very pit in which Radical ism is to perish and be buried forever out of sight. I Great and prolonged cheering.] In Mississippi, Georgia, and other Southern States the more sensible aiul civilized negroes shrink b;n k from the collision with the white race to which all these Radical measures tend ; and they are by thousands, in spite of tho Bureau, which has for a long time been a mere political engine to array the blacks against the whites to elect Radicals to office, uniting with the civilized white men, their old friends and masters, to saye the South frym a terrible war of races. There is now good reason tobcliefc that one half of the electoial votes of these States, unless the army interfere to prevent it by force, will be cast for Seymour and Blair, the Democrotie nominees. [Cheers.| All the States of tho Pacific—one certain, probably two, and perhaps three in New England, with the great States of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana, are regarded as morally certain; While New Jersey, Dela ware, Narylagid and Kentucky are with us be yond contingency. [Cheers.] Illinois, Wis consin. Missouri and Minnesota we expect to carry, and our friends in lowa anil Michigan give us cheering accounts, inspiring hopes of victory there. [Cheers] The ticket placed in nomination in New York grows stronger every day, and, in iny opinion, vill continue to do so until the great cause in which we are engaged shall achieve a complete triumph in November. [Great and prolonged cheering.] A train thanking you for this cordial greet ing. I hid you welcome to my house and home. Judge Thurman, of Ohio, and His Great Speech. The great question of civil liberty and con stitutional rights now at issue must he mainly decided at the North. It is there that the appeal has heen made to the ballot box. And upon the judgment rendered depends, in a measure, our freedom in the present and our hopes for the future. It is important, there fore, that we should understand directly the precise Lsues upon which the conflict is thus conducted. It is with this view that we pre sent some extracts from the speech of the Hon. Allen G. Thurman, of Ohio. Judge Thurman was the late Democratic candidate for Governor of that State, and failed of an election by a very few votes. The Democracy, however carried tho Legislature, and by their suffrage JudgcThurman is the successor iu the United States Senate to the Hon. B. F. Wade, the Radical President of the Senate. As one of the loaders of the progressive and constitutional Democracy of the Northwest, his opinions aro important, as conveying the sentiments of that great section of country, and as defining the grounds upon which the party contests the attempted sway of Radical ism. Regarded in this light we refrain from any comments of our own, aud give full place to such portions of his address as bear upon the condition of the South, and its title to a res toration under the Constitution handed down to us by our fathers. — Ch. Courier. SPEECH OF J EDGE THCKHAX. (Extracts.) We can form an idea of the impoverished condition of the Southern States from the fact that the County of Hamilton, Ohio, pays more taxes than eight Southern States. What a picture this makes of tho impoverished oon li tion of these oppressed States. Give us the Union again, .he union of hearts between the people and treasury again. (Applause.) Say to the men of the South you fought for what you thought was right, and when conquered submitted like men, only asking to be treated as honorable men. Henceforth let us bo friends. (Applause.) Henceforth you shall have pro tection. Say that to the Southern people, and they will have the heart to go to work, and that land will .-oon blossom as the rose. (Ap plause.) It is not six mouths since tho cry of confiscation was heard in the halls of Congress, uttered by that most persistent persecutor of Letter people, Thaddeus Stevens. (Loud Ap plause.) I appeal to you, farmers of West Vir ginia, with w hat heart could you cultivate your lauds if you expected tho next Congress to take them aud give them to negroes ? It is my solemn belief, if, when the Confed erate armies surrendered, we had treated them magnanimously, as brave men should always treat a vanquished foe, saving : “We fought this battle to maintain the integrity of the Union and the Constitution, ami now that you ; have laid down your arms, aud acknowledged VOL. 3. NO. 39 tee cause t" he lost, „e bu.y the hatchet for ever"—we believe all would now have been harmony and go, 1 feeling, without tho iuteg-. rity of a single State Icing impaired. The Southern States would havd bueto ready to beat their words into plough shares, anxious to follow the pursuits of pence. Had we acted thus, today wo would have been more firmly united than when the war began. I say’this after mature reflection. The war hud the effect of convincing both sections of certain things they did not know before.' Some in the South thought the people of the North would not light. This mistake was corrected. Thu people of the North, some of them, thought tho Southern people were impractica ble, and could not carry out extensive plans of operation in a protracted war, and with all their bluster, perhaps, would not fight so read ily. This illusion was also dissipated by the war. (Applause.) (ftp war convinced those who held such opipiotfs of their mistake, and made bdtii seetidßs respect each otlierT At least such were the feelings of the soldiers on both sides, and the people, as a general thing, felt the same way, until those Radical politi cians set themselves to work td* pervert the souls of the people—until they commenced their series of oppressive measures, introdu cinpthc fourteenth amendment, which they knew no Southern man with a spark of honor or sell’respect, could for a moment consent to vote for. Men could not be expected to write their own dishonor In the Constitution of their cou .try. Thoso Radicals knew it could never bo adopted. They proposed it that it might be rejected, so that they might have a pretence to keep the States out of the Union and out of the enjoyment of their rights. It served its purpose. It was got up and used for the purpose of putting the heel of the negro on the neck of the white man. They abolish™ slavery that they might institute a political slavery more absolute—that they might con trol the negro vote to carry out their own par ty purposes. They would not allow the ne gjo to vote if they thought he would vote with tie South. They did not extend that privU lege with th: understanding that the negroes were to vote according to their own instincts or interests, but as loyal leagues, organized and kept up by carpet bag adventurers. It was actuated by no love for the negro. The speaker did not believe the Radical pol icy could continue. These men were the worst enemies of the negroes in extending to them the elective franchise. It was natural. The white race never yet met an obstacle it did not overcome. (Applause.) It was iin pos3ilile’'to believe that the white race could have itself ruled by a people the most degra ded in i.-.rth. (Cries of “Never These States were now ruled by negroes and a class of men who could not get any kind of office in the North. Suppose the people of Ohio should import a Jot of negroes and white peo ple from that State and turn some Bureau men out of office ; suppose we should come down here under the auspices of the Ku Klux, and depose the officers of AVest Virginia, don’t you think these men would find that somebody else’s ox was gored? (Laughter andjapplause.) But that is just the way the people are treated down South. All history proves that people could not bo governed this way; England had tried it; they had tried to rule Ireland by carpet-baggers as we arc trying to rule the- South ; and to-day the cry of Fenian, which Pat raised on American soil, made the English throne tremble. (Cheer-.) Ilistory Punish" ed us innumerable examples of the kind. Per manent control could only be gained by the “golden rule.” “But,” says a pious gentle men, "why should we net treat the negro as an equal; is he not a man and brother ? is ha not of one blood ; our fellow-citizen ?” And yet this man held his nose as he passed by the negro. (Laughter.) “Has he not a soul?” says another, who proves that ho haa no soul by trying to cheat the negro the first opportu nity he has. # Judge Thurman thought it was in poor taste to talk of injustice to the negro in not allow ing him to vote, when cur intelligent and cul tivated ••• ives and daughters were not allowed .this privilege. AVhy should we place the ne gro above our wives, daughters and mothers ? There was not a record 'd instance in history of a civilized negro government. The race was as old as our own. They had enjoyed tho same advantages, yet they had never organized and maintained a civilized government. There had never been an attempt to perpetuate a government of mixed races which did not signally fail. Look at Hay ti. When they bes came independent, dissensions at once began to spring up between the mulattoes und.blacks. This i\ suited in a separation. The blacks be ing in the majority, .drove the mulattoes to one end of the island and they have ever since remained thus separated. These people had tried by turns every kind of Government—re publican, military, and despotic—and they were now alternately under the control of contending generals, who vied with each other as to how nitiny negroes they could mutually kill. This nice did not have in them the ele ments of civilization or the ability to maintain civilized government, either by themselves or mixed with the white race. • - - . • Senator Thurman closed with an exhortation to the people to work for the triumph of the Democracy in the coming Presidential con test.
