When Fanev tricks me into dreams, I bwi uiy fove in royal rooms— More than a queen when all are queens, kings beside her seem like groous. Meanwhile she spins her wheel indoors; Boginning when the days begin "We shall not want,her very words- "Though never ship of thine come in." WIT AND HUMOR. A Funeral—To meet a funeral pro cession a sign of death. "Truth crushed to the earth will rise again," but an egg won't. What is fame? A six line puffin a newspaper. What did you give for that horse neighbor ? ".*ly note." Well that was cheap. Says a country girl, describing a country home, "We raise our own fruit and vegetables, make our own pork, and lay our own eggs." The minister who boasted of preach ing without notes don't wish to be understood as referring to greenbacks. An Irish editor says he can see no earthly reason why women should not ho allowed to become medical men. An editor in Illinois gives notice that 'there will he no paper this week,' as his wife is using the scissors. An Illinois paper says there is a man in Olney so dirty that the As sessor put him downAs real estate. What poor world this wou'd be without women and newspapers!— How would the news get around ? The reason why lovers are so fond of one anotoer s company is because they always talking about themselves. Docket Book—To loose a poeket book containing greenbacks is un iuekjk Ifails—If a woman cuts her nails every Monday, it is lucky—for her husband. an egg like a oolt ?

Why do little birds in the nests agree? Because they'd fall out if they didn't. Why is Mr. Seymour is a judge of men,. Grant of horses and pups. An editor down South apologies for delay in the issue of his paper, as he had an extra "male" to attend to daring the week. Experimewts seem to prove that fence posts set wp the reverse way, from which they grew, will last the longest. One of the reasons urged for the purchase of Green laud, during the *u in filer, is the fact that the cows in that region give icecream. It is said that the editor's Drawer in Harper's Magazine is made up by a woman. So are a great many edi tor's drawers. Wfcat does a telegraph operator do when he receives the heads of impor tant news ? Waits for do tails. A Western editor, in response to a subscriber who grumbles that his owing paper was intolerably damp, Ht ys "that it ja because there is m much dim on it."

Immediate restoration of all the States to theii*rights in the Uniou under the Constitution and civil gov ernment of the Auier'ean people. 2. Amnesty for all past political iftenses, and the regulation of the elective franchise in tho States by their citizens, and the payment of the public debt of the United States as rapidly as practicable. 3. All money drawn from the peo | pic by taxation, except so much as is requisite for the necessities of the Government, economically adminis tered, should he honestly applied to such paymeut, and where the obliga tions of the Government do not ex pressly state upou their face, or the law under which they were issued does not provide that they shall be paid iu eoiu, they ought, iu right and justice, to be paid iu the lawful mon ey of the United States. 4. Equal taxation of every species of properly according to its real value, including Government bonds, aud other public securities. 5. One currency for the Govern ment and the people, the laborer and the office holder, the pensioner and the soldier, the producer and the bond holder. ti. Economy in the administration of the Government, the reduction of the standing army aud navy; the abolishment of the Freedman's Bu reau, and all political instrumentali ties designed to secure negro suprem acy; simplification of the sy-teni and the discontinuance of inquisitorial boards for assessing and collecting internal revenge, so that the burden of taxation may be equalized and les sened ; the credit of the Government and the currency made good ; the re peal of all enactments for enrolling the State Militia into National forces in time of peace ; a tariff for revenue upon foreign imports, and such equal taxation under the internal revenue laws as will afford incidental protec tion to domestic manufactures, aud as will, without impairing the revenue, impose the least burden upon and best promote and encourage the great indrustrial interests of the onuntoy, 7. Reform of abuses in the Admin istration, the expulsion of corrupt men from offices, the abrogation of us' less offices, the restoration of right ful authority to, and the independence of the Executive and Judicial depart ments of the Government; the subor dination of the military to the civil power to the end that the usurpations of Congress and the despotism of the sword may cense. 8. Equal rights and protection far naturalized and Dative born citizens at home and abroad ; an assertion of American nationality, which shall command the respect of foreign pow ers, end furnish an example aud en couragement to people struggling for national integrity, constitutional lib erty and individual rights, and the maintenance of the nights of natural ized oitizens- against* toe absolute doctrine of immutable allagiauoe, and the claims of foreign powers to pun ish them,for alleged crime committed beyond their jurisdiction. In domanding these measures and reforms we arraign the Radical party for its disregard of right, and the paralleled' oppression aud tyranny which have marked its career, after tine most solemn and unanimous pledge of both- Houses of Cougress to prose cute the war exclusively for the main tenance of the Government and the preservation of the Union under the Constitution. It has repeatedly violated that most sacred pledge under which was ral lied that noble volunteer army, which earned our flag to viotory. Instead of restoring the Union, it has, so far as its power, dissolved it, and subjected ten States in time of peace to military despotism and negro supremacy. It lias nullified there the right of trial by jury. It has abolished the habeas eorpus, that most sacred writ of liberty. It has overthrown the freedom of speech and the press. It has substituted arbitrary seiz ures and arrests, and military trials and secret Star Chamber Inquisitions, for constitutional tribunals. It has disregarded in time of peace the right of the people to be free from search and seizures. It has entered the post and tele graph offices, and even the private room* of individuals, and seized their private papers and letters, without any specification oi notice of affidavit as required by the organic law. It has converted the American Cap itol into a bastile. It has established a system of spies and official espionage to which no constitutional monarchy of Europe would now dare to resort. It has abolished the right of ap peal on important constitutional ques trons to the supreme judiciary tribu nal, and threatens to ourtail or des ****. .Mi. k, 1. Co»W. ! tiOD, while the learned Chief Justice! has been subjected to the moat 1 Ull atrocious calumnies, merely because he would uot prostitute his high of fice to the support of the false ' and pai tisan charges preferred ngaiust President. Its corruption and extravagance have exceeded anything knowu in history, and by its frauds and monop olies it has nearly doubled the bur den of debt created during the war. It hnv stripped the President of his constitutional power of appoint ment, even of his own cabinet. Under its repeated assaults the pil lars of the Government are rocking on their base, and should it succeed in November nc*t and inaugurate its Presidcut, we will meet it as a subject aud conquered people amid' the ruins of liberty and the scattered fragments of the Constitution ; and we do de clare and resolve that ever since the people of the United States threw off all subjection to the British Crown, the privilege and trust of suffrage have belonged to the several States, and hnve beeu granted, regulated aod controlled exclusively by the politi cal power of each State respectively, uud any attempt by Congress, on any pretext whatever, to deprive any State of this right, or interfere with this exercise, is a flagrant usurpation of power which can find no warrant in the Constitution, and, if sanctioned by the people, will subvert our form of government, and can only end iu a single centralized, consolidated gov ernment in which the separate cxis ttnee of the States will be entirely absorbed, and an unqualified despo tism be established in place of a Federal Union of equal States. *That we regard the reconstruction acts of Congress, so-called, as usurpa tions unconstitutional, revolutionary and void, and that cur soldiers aud sailors who carried the flag of our country to victory against a most gallant and determined foe, must over be gratefully remembered, and all the guarantees given in their favor must be faithfully carried into execution. That the public lands should be distributed widely among the people and should be disposed of either der the presemption or homestead laws, and sold in reasonable quanti. ties, and to none but actual occupants at the minimum price as established by the Government. When grants of the public lands may he allowed, necessary for the encouragement of important public improvements, the proceeds of the sale of such lands, and not the lands themselves should be so applied. That the President of the United States, Andrew Johnson, iu exercis ing the power of his high office in resisting the aggressions of Congress on the constitutional rights of the States and the people, is entitled to the gratitude of the whole American people, aud on behalf of the Demo cratic party we tender him our thanks for his patriotic effoxts ju that re gard. Upon this platform the Democratic party appeal to every patriot, iuclud ing all the conservative clement and all who desire to support the Consti tution and restore the Union, forget ting ail past differences of opiuion, to unite with us in the present great struggle for the liberties of the peo ple, and that to all such, to whatever party they may have heretofore be longed, we extend the right hand of fellowship and hail all such oili , Ejfc meut* tor any length of timo.
