For THE CALEDoNIAN.

Mr.. Chadsoich.-I have lying before u
North Star of Sept. 18th 1897, in which there are
some remarks concerning tho self styled " Demo-
Gratis" which reads after the following fashion
"The excitement is mostly under the influence
Of prejudice-of in terestof ambtion--a thirsting
after the fame of nominal revolutionary conquest IN
politics, for should change take place, IL wou'a
be more ia name than essence. Some OF the ans
would be out, and the outs, an; but nothing accom-
pshed towards the consolidation OF purity OF Prn-
ciple, facilitate the currency OF public virtue
unless the present aspirants of Van Buren,, ~ Co.
were purified in the furnace, or mddt ooer "neto'
II is fact that the ancient landmarks are oonter-
ated, IL with them, is much to be feared, the Pim
tive patriotism Of country me true spirit OF
76 visits us only with the shade of our oreathers,
and is viewed rather phentom than any thing
that ever existed in real life So far as 1t respects
citizens of our profession and others, whosnp-
mort either Mr. Adams General Jdckson--we can
not denounce all who cross our track in relation to
this object, nor have any disposition to do 1t
We know many printers who supported, and still
do support, Mr. Adams for the Presidency, who were
the political bulwark Of their Country, during the
last war, far their talents and exertions were
requred-And unless Rumor is iallacous sooun-
drel-rumor founded on the declaration of respon-
sble Editors, General Jackson has his due quota Of
federal support We are far from believing that
Jackson's party possess any o1ctusi0o immaculate
public virtue They are men Of like passions with
the rest Of community-and no more the real dis.
cples Of the Jefferson school, than thousands of
others who are less camorous-or who may be gull
ty ofthe objectionable sin of differing with them
respecting the qualifications of MI Adams, for the
Chief Magistrate of this Republic"
How well the above compares with the writings
of certain Editor of late, who declares he has not
changed his politics, for some less than hundred
years, those who read may judge. A.
August 4th, 1888.

LYNCH LAw.-The following beautiful exem-
plhcaIion of the reason and justice of Lynch
Law is from the Louisville Journal:
A few days ago, u sum Of money was stolen
near Koschsko, Mississippi A black girl, who
professed to know all about the circumstances
charged Il respectable white person with being
the thief. Upon her testimony the citizens seiz-
ed him, tied him to n tree, and "Iynched" him
with extreme severity. During the operation
man named Parker stood looking on 81 exclaimed
-"Give il to him! He has the money? He is the
thief and will soon confess il" The lynchers
found however, after nearly killing their victim
that he would confess nothing, and he was at
length released, torn, bleeding, and unable to
stand. A few hours afterwards suspicion began
res, upon Parker himself, who on being tied to
the same tree, roared out 81 haze the money"
The whole sum was found in his possession md
thM of the wench on whose false testimony The
innocent man had been so horribly muaed.
This occurrence should be memorable les
son to all who are disposed to take the vengeance
Of tho law into their own hands. The atrocious
practice of "lynching,' deserves to be stamped
with the indignation Of men and the wrath of
God. Every actor in the bloody tragedy atkos
ciusko should AT once b. driven forth, an exile
from society and all its spmpathies.

II is little curious to those who have labored

rect or indirect, we understood the communica-
ton, but only general charge against the T. o.
Department, of unfaithfulness, the accusation, 1t
received by any one, is voluntary acceptance OF It,
AS to the delay Of letters know it to be true;
letter to our address, bearing the p. o. mark al
Montpelier, July 6, was received in this town, July
17-11 days after it was mailed, and the mail comes
to this town from Montpelier every other day. The
post office department received the postage on the
letter. and contracted carry it to the place to which
it was directed in due season-it failed to fulfil the
contract, and shall not the abuses of department,
which would deserve censure the part of private
individuals, be rebuked? Shall il not be even spo-
ken of by the injured party without merting the
denunciation of braggarts and DULLES? If any one
chooses TO plead guilty, of an agency IN the delay
of letters, without being charged with 1t, we can
not help it. AS to our correspondent, whose &C.
cason for complaint is greater than ours, he is able
we doubt not, and quite willing to sustain his COM
plant. A candidate for office must be hard push
ed indeed, to resort the abuses of the post office
department of its patrons, for political capital, as
well as making hlmselfa subject of ridicule; to say
nothing of the tendency of such conduct to excite
suspicious of guilt where none before particularly
rested.

SOUND DocTRINE. AT public dinner recently
given to Gen Harrison, at Ravenna, Ohio, in speak
ing of the currency he remarked:
ole spoke Of The banks; of the senseless cry rails
ed against them, that their tendency was not, as
had been pretended, to make the rich, richer, and
the poor, poorer Their tendency might be to make
the rich richer, but he denied that their tendency
was to make the poor poorer. They were tho means
of opening facilities for the poor to become
rich BY increasing the capabilities OF men Of wealth
to embark in enterprises useful to the country-in
schemes ofnterna improvement, in manufacturing,
IN building, &c. the laboling, tho industrious part
Of the community are vastly benefited, by thus hav
ing the means of accommodating fortunes for them
selves, scattered abroad among them. He had no
interest IN any bank-n0ver had but once, and then
lost all his stock. But he was bank man, and in
favor of the credit system, and he because
he was democrat. He had been in a country (Co
lumbia) where they had no credit system--whcre
they had purely metallic currency. That country
was called a Republic; but little evidence of free
Republic was to he seen. No works ofinternal i'm
provement--no public enterprises, manuiaotur
ing establishments, nothing that indicated, among
the people, Industry, prosperity or happiness. In
that country were the rich living in their splendid
palaces, and the poor were poor indeed SO You
will find in all the despotisms Of the old world =
so you will find it wherever the credit system is IL
polished unknown"

Curious FAcT.-'rhe Rev. Lemuel Potter, of
the Second Baptist Church in Lowell commu.
nicates the following fact to the Lowell Courier.
young lady of that city, daughter of MIR Levi
Atwood, who has been sick for some time, and
was supposed to be in a consumption, on Sntur-
day, the 18th ofJuly, vomied, as is supposed, be-
tween three and four hundred insects resembling
maggots. Some ofthese were placed in bot
tie of white glass; and soon changed into the
chrysalis state. On Thursday, July 26, they be-
came the common house fly The question
now arises, how did these common flies intro
duce their eggs into the stomach of this person?
Ii is suggested that she may have received Them
upon lettuce, or other food, and that her storn.
ach being diseased, retained and Matched them.
Although strong emetics given her, no
more have appeared since the l4th.
