A REPUBLICAN AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF THE PEOPLE.
DODGEVILLE, WISCONSIN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14,1865.
A POPULAR SONG IN EUROPE.
“Wo plow and sow, we're so ven’, very low
That we delve in the dirty clay,
Till we bless the plain with golden grain,
And the vale with the fragrant hay.
Our place we know, we're so very low,
’Tis down at the landlord’s feet;
We’re not too low the grain to grow,
But too low the bread to eat.
Down, down, we go, we’re so very, very low,
To the hell of the deep sunk mines,
But we gather the proudest gems that glow
When the crown of a despot shines.
And when’er he lacks, upon out backs
Fresh loads he deigns to lay ;
We’re far too low to vote the tax
But not too low to pay.
We’re low, we’re low, mere rabble we know,
But at our plastic power
The mold at the lording’s feet will grow
Into palace, church and tower.
Then prostrate fall at the rich man’s hall,
And cringe at the rich man’s door ;
We’re not too low to build the wall,
Biit too low to tread the floor.
We re low, we're low, wTre very, very low,
Yet from our fingers glide
The silken flow, and the robes that glow
Hound the limbs.of the sons of pride.
And what we get, and what we give,
We kn w, and we know our share ;
We’re not too low the cloth to weave,
But too low the cloth to wear.
We’re low, we're low, we’re very, very low,
And yet when Hie trumpets ling,
The thrust of a poor man’s arm will go
Thro’ the h art of the proudest king.
We’re low, we’re low, our place we know,
We’re only the rank and file,
We’re not too low to fight the foe,
But too low to to nil i lie spoil.’’

111-Judged Censure.
The following well put rebuke of those.:
in easy circumstances who are unchari
table towards the errors of ihe poor, is
Ar m Herbert Spencer’s Social Statistics ;
“it. is very easy fur you, O respecta
ble citizen, seated in your easy chair,
with your feet on the fender, to hold I
firth on the misconduct of the people ;
very easy fur you to censure their ex
travagant and vicious habits; —very
easy for you to be a pattern of frugality, ;
of rectitude, of soberiety. What else
should you be ? Here tiro you surround
ed with comforts, possessing multiplied
sources of lawful happiness, with a repu
tation to maintain, an ambition to fulfil,
did the prospect of a competency for
your old age. Ijphamo indeed would it;
be if with those advantages you were not.
well regulated in your behavior, You
have a cheerful home, are warmly and
'•leanlyclad, and fare, if not sumptuous
ly every day, at any rate abundantly.—
For your hours of relaxation there are
unusements. A newspaper arrives reg
: daily to satisfy your curiosity; if your
■astes are literary, books may be had in
plenty ; and there is a piano if you like
music. You can afford to entertain your
fiends and are entertained in return.—
L’here are lectures, and concerts, and ex
hibbious, accessible if you incline to
them. You may have a holiday when
vou choose to take one, and can spare
money for an annual trip to the sea-side.
And enjoying ail these privileges, you
take credit to yourself for being a well
conducted man I Small praise to you
fur it I If you do not contract dissipa
ted habits where is the merit ? You
have few Incentives to do so. It is no
honor to you that you do not spend your
savings in sensual gratification ; you
have pleasures enough without.
“But, what would you do if placed in
the position of a laborer? How would
these virtues of yours stand the wear
and tear of poverty ? AY here would your
prudence and self-denial be, if you were
deprived of all The hopes that now stimu
late you; if you had no better pros
pect than that of the Dorsetshire farm
servant with bis seven shillings a week,
or that perpetually straitened stocking
weaver, or that of the mill hand with his
periodical suspensions oj work f Let
us see you tied to an irksome employ
ment from dawn to dark ; fed on meagre
food, and scarcely enough at that ; maj
ried to a factory girl ignorant of domes
tic management, deprived of the enjoy
ments education opens up ; with r.o place
of recreation but the pot-house, and then
let us see whether you would be as steady
as you are. Suppose your savings had
to be made, not, as uow, out of surplus
income, but out of wages already insuf
ficient for necessaries ; and then consid
er whether to be provident would be as
easy as you at present find it. Conceive
yourself one of a despised class, con
temptuously termed the “great unwash
ed,’' stigmatized as brutish, stolid, vic
ious ; suspected of harboring wicked
designs ; .excluded from the dignity of
citizenship; and then say whether the
desire to be respectable would boas
practically operative on you as cow. —
Poetry.
Lastly, imagine that seeing that your
capacities are but ordinary, your educa
tion next to nothing, and your compe
titors innumerable, you despaired of ev
er attaining a higher station, and then
think whether the incentives to perseve
ran e and forethought would boas strong
a.q £ our existing ones. Realize those
cir distances, 0 comfortable citizen,
an] then answer whether the reckless,
disorderly habits of the people are so
inexcusable.’’
City vs. Country Life.
Corry o'Lanus, of the Brooklyn
Eagle , gives his experience of the felici-
Itios of country life at this season. The
ocality is somewhere in New Jersey :
The place is a lovely spot, hut wants
improving. The sidewalks are not flag
ged, and there are no street lamps.
No ice cream saloons ; no lager ; no
A Idermcn , or any of the luxuries of city
life.
But there is a great deal of nature. —
The nature consists mostly of trees,
rail fences, corn-fields and musquitoes.
Particularly musquitoes.
Also dogs. Everybody iq the coun
try keep dogs. They are animals of large
pattern, not particular about breed.
They earn their bread by barking at
cows, horses and strangers.
There is a picturesque village, com
posed of a tavern and two blacksmiths j
shops. Being situated on the banka ql
tt canal, it may he regarded as a water
ing place.
The graceful canal boats gently glid
ing along at the rate of two miles a week,
reminds you of Venice and Gondolas.
It resembles Venice before Venice was
built.
Farming life is very serene. YVm get
up in the middle of the night and milk
the cows and split wood for breakfast.—
Y u tuen hoe corn till breakfast is
ready.
After breakfast you feed the pigs and :
hunt eggs.
Then hoe corn till dinner is ready.
After dinner, you hoe corn till supper
time.
By way of variety you then milk the
cows and feed the pigs.
The balance of the evening is spent in
the cheeiful recreation of sparring with
musquitoes.
T hen there’s the girls.
Most of the farmers raise girls ; thej
are useful to feed the chickens and sit
up with young men in the best room on
Sunday evenings.
Country girls arc nice.
If you should want to gat married at
any time. I'll take you out to Jersey and
introduce you.
The Jersey girls wear waterfalls, ex
hibit a preference for male society, and
are very fond of peanuts.
When you go courting them, you must
always take a pocket full of peanuts, if
yon don’t want to he considered mean.
The filopene business is very popular.
The girls are very expert at it. 1 have
just bought out a fancy store, and sent
it up there by’’express, to square m\
outstanding liabilities in that line.
Otherwise, sifting up with country
girls is very refreshing. Sitting with
one arm round her waist, with the other
hand engaged in flattening mosquitoes,
while she tells you all about the quilt
ing party last winter, at Aunt Jerusha’s;
what Sally Ann Van Spook wore when
she was married to Josiah Corndoger,
and Low many chickens they b; and when
they commenced hpuskeeping, is an en
joyment not to bm met with in town.
A city man who can appreciate na
ture, animated and inanimated, may
pass two or three days in the farming
regions where there are plenty of girls,
without contomplutioir suicide.
Fresh air, pure milk and fresh eggs,
are desirable luxuries, but country girls
are the most agreeable productions of
the agricultural regions.
Against the Current.
A waggish chap, whose vixen wife, hy
drowing lost her precious life, called out
his neighbors all around, and told ’em
that his spouse was drowned, and in spite
of search, could not be found. He knew,
he paid, the very nook, where she had
fallen in the brook, and he had dragged
along the shore, above the place, a mile
or more.
‘‘Above the place, ’’ the people cried;
“why what dy’e mean?”
The man replied—
“Of course you don’t suppose I’d go,
and waste the time to look below? I’ve
known the woman quite a spell, and
learnt her fashions tol’ble well; alive
or dead, she’d go I swow, against the cur
rent anyhow I”
Er3“The proper ornament of a woman
is that which becomes her best; this is
neither gold nor pearls nor scarlet, but
whatever affords.evidence of gravity, reg
ularity and modesty.— Plutarch.
Union Platform.
The following are the resolutions which
were unanimously passed by the Union
State Convention, held at Madison on the
6th inst., forming the platform of the party
for the present canvass:
Resolved. That this convention, in behalf!
of those whom it represents, renders devout!
thanks to Almighty God that, through I
his infinite goodness and superintending'
providence, our army and navy, under the !
lead of their great commanders, have, at
last, achieved the final supremo victory
over the rebellion—that peace reigns once
more front the lakes to the gulf, from the
rivers to the sea, and, while they bear in
sorrow all their great and bloody sacrifices,
among others, even the assassination of
Abraham Lincoln, their beloved president,
the second Washington of America, who
led them through the long and tremendous
conflict so wisely that at times he seemed
almost inspired, they rejoice that he was
permitted to see this great work so nearly
done, (he rebellion crushed at his feet, the
flag of the Union floating over Richmond;
and over the soil of every slate, not a.stripe
obscured, not a star erased.
Resolved, That, under Cod, and next to
Him, we owe to trie brave officers and.sol-:
diers of the army-and navy our deepest
gratitude for the preservation of our nation
al 'existence, for the maintenance of the ,
Union, and for the overthrow of slavery,
which entitle them to high consideration in
appointments to civil office; and we heart
ily respond to the suggestion of Lieutenant
General Giant, lately made at -Milwaukee,
and pledge ourselves to remember and cher
ish the homes established for disabled sol
diers and their orphans.
Resolved, That the animus which caused
the late rebellion against the United .‘Mates,
was born of.the pride and ambition of an
aristocracy found:d upon slavery, which;
the war and the emancipation of President
Lincoln have rightfully destroyed; but we
deem it essential to.the regeneration of the
late slave, but now free, states that they
should, in good faith, accept their u w sit
uation as free states, not only by abuli liiug
slavery in their state constitutions, but by
the ratification their legislatures of the |
amendment to the constitution of the uni
ted States submitted by congress, and now
pending, win; h forever abolishes slavery in
every state, and empowers congress to pass
all laws necessary to procure liberty to all
the people black and white. Ly its adop
tion the cause of the rebellion will be re
moved, slavery destroyed, and liberty es
tablished upon a foundation which neither
Mate, nor president, nor congress, nor court,
nor change of parties can shake; as endur
ing as the globe itself. By its adoption by
tlie. people of those states, all the woild w ill
know that they accept freedom as their sU-_
uation, and give up slavery and all hope of
restoring slavery forever.
Resolved, That, under the constitution,
the pretended right of secession by any
-tate, or the people of any state, by any
act, resolve or proceeding whatever, is a
monstrous heresy, which the rebels of the
south sought to rculLe by arms, and their
sympathizers at the north by cowardly
surrender; but the triumph of our cause j
has put and end to all ideas, south or north,
in any sane mind, that any state can forci
bly or peaceably withdraw from the Union.
Resolved, T hat we recognize in the ad
ministration of President Johnson, sub
stantially the same policy toward- the
people of the southern states,as that inaug
urated by President Lincoln ; that while
lie has fixed terms of reconstruction with
the spirit 6f liberality and kindness,he, nev-:
erlheless, has evinced a determination to
arrest the abuse of political power, wher
ever exercised for disloyal pm poses; and (
that we believe he will so control and di
rect the work of reconstruction as will !
eventually restore the Union entire, and se
cure them all the rights to which they arc
entitled under a free and enlightened gov-,
eminent, and that we pledge to 1 m, in tye
gres.f work of restoring civil government in
those status upon that basis, our heart, and
unanimous support.
Resolved, That while we welcome the
cessation of war in the southern states, we
do not close our eyes to the fact that a
large portion of the whole population are
fresh from acts of hostility, towards the
government and towards its institutions,
are still unsettle'] in opinion, and many of
them unreconciled to the results of the cen
ters t in which, for mure than four years,
they nave been engaged. We rejoice to be
assured that the government will not with
draw from these states the strong: arm of
military power.until it has full and satis
factory evidence of such a true and pi nna
nent loyalty as to make them safe pertici
pants in the right of self-government, in
sure obedience to the constitution and laws,
acquiescence in the emancipation of tin
slaves, and protection to the IVecdmc-n in
the right to enjoy the fruits of their labor,

Resolved, That, in the opinion of this con
venliun, it is due To equal justice and. the
altered condition of things, that the consti
tution of the United States should be so
amended as to make the representation ol
each state in the bouse of representatives
proportionate to the number of legally qual
ified male electors in such states.
Resolved, That the national debt incur
ed in the suppression of the rebellion, is ot
the most sacred and enduring obligation :
that repudiation, by’ any means, direct or
indirect, of the debt or interest upon it, or
infringing in the least degree upon the faith
pledged by- the governrn qt to make it.-

that it was not so much the great capitalists

other mode of manifesting our sentiments
towards the present chief magistrate of th ■
state, J. T. Lewis, than by giving expres
sion to orr cordial approbation of his ad
ministration of the executive office. In the
discharge of Ids oi trial duties he has shown
a fidelity, real, economy and constant
watchfulness in protecting the inter* sts cf
the state, which arc recognized and appre
ciated by all intelbg nt people; and in the
'limitary retirement from public life which
he seeks, he will be followed by their sia
cerest respect and warm good wishes.
