They Thnu i n' ih' U iu.i 'ti iii-l loUe an enemv into a liitu l, bill Address to the Democratic Party! . .. . :. .:' The Llinirmnn or tue Deinocrntio uesiacnujora niittee at Washington, has issued an address to the Democracy of tbo United fetates, from whicli tile following is an extract: n "And now we stand at the commencement of a new political era. Old things have passed away. Let the dead bury their dead, while we turn our thonght to the living, and to the future. ' Whatever we may think of. accomplished fact they must re ceive outf ocq-iiesccne. ' Let us then ncoommodnte ourselves to what is inevitable, and direct our efforts into channel where they din still produce useful results. , i .. - 1 . . , Those who have been foremost In urging on tin war of emancipation now insist that the new frced men shall at once be made oar political equals. To this we are unitedly and unalterably opposed, not only because as a class they are not so educated as to qualify them for the exercise of the important nnd delicate- rights of art American citiien what ever might be their natural capacities but for the still stronger reason that we believe the African to be by nature greatly inferior to the Caucassinn. i o amalgamate or to intorininglo politically would be to lower the standard ot average huinan intelligence in this errantry, either individually or collectively. Even with that standard undobnsed, there are grave doubts whether we are capable of raaintning. a pop ular government like our own. How then W(U it be when we shnll have infused an inferior dement into the body politic, and our Kurepean civilization and scnle of understanding shall have become adul terated with those -of Africa or Ajia T? r J e can, therefore, all unite in maintaining that this is a white wnn'gt jrovarnment, ; which must be preserved by preserving undiminished the standard of popular intelligence . ad enpacity-r-that the negro, like the Chinese, is a foreign clement which cannot be successfully njsimilatcd-that he is mere ly here at school, where ho should be kindly treated and instructed, and that when his cdueation is com pleted, he mny, in some congenial situation, seek his owa happiness in his own way. litit'let us steadily nnd unitedly oppose the commingling of w lint God nnd nature ba e so unnvstakaiiiy.iptena- ed to preserve Bcpnratc and distinct. Again, they who assume to lead the party winch triumped at the last election, seem bent upon hold ing the late revolted States in attitude of jcrma- nent subjugation. .. W uile they have urged, at any cost of wealth,, or blood, or principle, the sudden emancipation of individuals who had all their lives been in bofldnge, they would reduce whole commu nities thnb were once free and equal to ourselves into a state of subjugation and slavery. To this also we ran all unite in unchangeable reposition. te believe that the Federal Government cannot exist while a portion of the States which compose it are free and another portion enslaved, r rccdom or Blnvery must be the portion of nil. The erring members of our politirnl family are now mix ions to resume llieu- wonted., places in the sacred circle Let them bo welcomed as. iv3 the prodigal son in the parable, and received back with all their rights and privilege unabridged. Let the prompting of resentment nnd revenge meet no tavor from those who may perhnps fool that they need some forgive ness themselves. Let statesmanship and not child ish animosity control onr conduct. ' ' L The exhibition of - a - feeling of toleration nnd charity is no novelty even in our own history. ' Its bU-jsud tllocu hnve, in principle; been exhibited in the organization ot our Government, and in its suc cessful ndininistrutioii through nil the palmy days of the republic.- It would have preserved us from the tinzie exhibitions of the last four years. It can even yet heal tliewonnds that have been inflicted, and replace us in our carcor of unrivaled prosperity and freedom nnd splendor. -, " - Nor have we to lnlior and wait lor vehrs before the harvest will commence. The means are already provided whicli promiso immediate success. Com binations ol circumstances seem to have been pro videntially prepared to suit our purpose. The 1,800,000 voters: who conttitutod the elective strength o.f the great conservative host at the Inst election, and which would even then' have been triumphant but for extraneous influences, are still Organized and ready to act.- Add to these tho num bers then estranged by causes now obsefete, nnd thro can be. no doubt that on the issues now pre sented tho majority will bo overwhelmingly with US ' i ' - '!

"Git eoiit, you. nasty puppy let me nlonc or. 1 will tell my ma!" cried out Sally , to lies lover Jake ," ho sat about ten feet from her, pulling dirt from the 'chimney jam. . "I aren't tctbin on you, Sal," said Jak.o. 11 Well, perhaps yon don't "mean to, nutlier, do yer?" . -; ' ' - , "No, rdou'L'.', ... ', ' : .: ; , "Cause you're too tarnal scary, yon long-legged, lantern-jawed, alab-sided, pigeon-toed, ganglo- knecd Owl,, yon you han't got a tarncl bit of sence ; fret along homo with you." " Now, Sal, 1 lovo you, and can't ticlp it, nnd ef you dou t let me slay and court you my dad-ly will fuc your n lor that cow he sold bun t other day, Hv jingo he cuid he'd do it.'' " Well, look here, Jake if you want to court mo you'd better do it as a white man does that thing now set off there hS if you thought I was pisen. "How on airth is that,. &!?''. " Why, side right up here, and hug and kiss me, as if you really had soiuu bono andttiunet of a man about you. Do you s'pose a woman's only to look a', you fool you 7 No, they are made for 'practical rc-Kults,' as Kossuth says-tu hug and kiss and sich like." ' "Well," said Jako, .drawing a long breadth, "if I nvst I must, for 1 do love Sal ," and so Jake commenced sliding up to her, like a maple poker going to battle. Laying h'u arm gently upon S.il's shoulder, we thought we heard SniI pay "That's the way to do it, old liosl that acting like a white man orter." "Oh, Jerusalem and pancakes!'! exclaimed Jake; if ibis niu't better than auy applc-sass ever uuirin made, darned sight! Crack-ee, buckwheat cakes, slap-jacks, and 'lasses ain't no where' long side you, Sal ! Oh, how I love you." Here their lips came together, nnd the report that followed was like pulling a horse's foot out of the mire. Wi ht. . .,, How to Presehyc a l)orrT.

Take the bouquet out of the suds i-very nioruiug and lay it si.U-ways in fres'i water, -the tick entering hrat into the water; keep it there a minute or two, then bike it out, nud sprinkle the Howers lightly by the band with pure wuter. lU'placo the bouquet in tho soup suds anil tho (lower will bloom upas frush as when gathered. Tho soap suds need to bo changed ever third day. ly observing these rules a bouquet may he kept bright and Ix-autiful for at least one month, and w ill keep still longer in a very passible slato; but the a Ue nt km to the fair but frail creatures, as di rected above, must I strictly olmervod, or "the last rose of uinmi-r" w ill not be '-left blooming alone," but v. ill speedily peri.-h.

Dtar im.- You lmve-often asked,, me to give you a buliry of my commencing liouse-koeping. WelL I really don t kown as any one can he much interested in Such common things; but, if you'ean bo benefitted by it I -am willing to tell you Some of the ; experience of a beginner ia one of the m ost trying situations a poor, person, can bo placed in. And let me advise you, when you take tho same cares and' responsibilities tfpon -yonrsclr, by alt moans don't sit down and cry or make a great fuss, f your pretty band get a iittlo .rough and brown: It doc nd good. . . . I air ays thought myself quite smart in All Kinds of domestic accomrilishmenta, for yon know my mother was not always aide to attend to her house- bold affairs, bo I was put in general superinten dent when she was sick. It was fell very fine then, tor we had one of the best of cooks; nnd all that I hod to do was to ask ma -what thould be got for dinner or supper, and then carry the bill of fare to Katy ; a far as giving orders, I never could be beat. ' ''' ' ' "' ' ' Then I oce npied ma place at tho head of the table, and did sundry other tiling, which td me tit that time were all that was requirod to be a model honsekeeper. But, my stars 1 Helen, when I came to be my own mistress,' and had no ma to ask, or Katy to cook,. I found my. accomplishments were rather on a small scalo. I wa almost sorry .that t had urged your Uncle Charles to keep house. t ! Hut to the trials! Tho furniture was moved and settled in oiirT room I commenced getting1 our first meal alone. IIoW : bright were our anticipa tions of that meal. felt so much confidence in mv ability to pet up something good nnd nice that I would not have Charley gel any bread or cakes at tho bakers; I wanted my own cooking, nod none but niine, so. I set myself to work.' Ia tho first place 1 wo going to have one of Katy' kind of apple pies, for those pies were my dolight when at home; and Charley thought they were 80 good, -tod. Well, everything was on tho table, apples pared, flour, butter, pice, and plates, set in military (not apple pic) order, -around mo, so that there should bo no mistake; ' Well, I put my hands 'in the floor 'just as I lia'd seen 'Katy Q6; rubbed the butter la tho flour. - All ;-very 'well so far; then I turned in some water, stirred up tho Hour but, oh, dear I . how should I ever get my hands out of such a muss? was the next question. I mixed and mixed, but the dongb only stuck the more, and like the big snow-ball the boys nsed to roll on the commons, grew larger and still larger ; not a linger could I see. . ... Charley proposed irrapwj my liands with ' the carving' knife; but I thought I was in as nrnrh of a scrape as I cared about, nnd I would have to put them in again ; so I squeezed ns much of the dough off as I couid get, and washed them clean, so as to make a new beginning. . ' ..-When ) got ready to roll the crust out there was no rolling-pin, so I must wait until Charley , could go down to the store for one. When ho got back my fire was all gone out, the oven cold, and every thing looked discouraging enough. . Well, to cut the story short, niy pie got baked; dinner, (for, I may rather call it supper, for 1 bad been nearly three hours gecfing up dinner for two,) wns announced rendyj nnd such a dinner! The cofroc was like mud, the steak was tough, potatoes just half cooked, . and the pie oh I my pic I I had doted so much on f. otter all my trouble and' pains what a grand failure.' - There- had no sugar been put in, (through mistake, of course;) the apple as hard as when I pat -them in ; the bottom crust all dough. Ia short our dinner was considered con traband, and handed over to the rightful owners the hogs. I sat down and cried with vexation and pnin ; my liand had been badly burned ; my face looked like a boiled lobster. ' ' Charley laughed and enid f': ' ' u Never mind, Ruth) a bad beginning makes a good ending,- aud we will have some good pastry yet from you." , ' . ' - It was only one dinner, lust one dny'8 experience, nnd I learned one thing, which was, it is one thing to see another to do a piece of work, and another thing to do it yourself. Hew I Ion-red for a mother to Comfort me in my distress ; and how I wished I had tried making a pie before good old Katy left our uome iorever. ; I will not trouble you anv more at present, but will give you more of my experience at some future time, it you will bo benefitted by it. Just let me give yon one word of advice, before I close, do not hesitate to learn anything pertaining to housekeep ing; you can never learn too much. - Rcth. An Act t?
