From the kentitcku Woman.


1t has occurred to us as somewhat singular, that
certain papers of the Democratic party, and especi
ally the Richmond Enquirer, studousy avoid pub
fishing in their columns any Of the public
demonstrations so frequently taking place in different
sections OF the Union in favor Of Col Johnson for
the Presidency. From the high character which the
Enquirer has always maintaned as kind Of patr-
archa and imperial custodian Of the rights Of all the
various sections of the great Democratic party of
the Union, different course might have been expect
ed. Nj. Richie cannot be un.nndful that Col John
son IS the tavorte candidate of very respectable
portion of the Democracy throughout the Union, and
that he Is without doubt, the choice Of large ma
Joiity of the great Mississippi valley. He cannot,
moreover, be unobservant of the growing favor with
which the pretcnsons of the old Hero are entertain
ed by the people, and the enthusiastic ardor with
which his nomination is urged in the frequent public
meetings in his favor throughout the Western States
We would submit it to the venerable editor of the
Enquirer if these strong, numerous, and imposing de-
monsrations Of the popular sentiment do not merit
respectful notice at his hands
The Democrats Of the West, who have been ac-
customed 10 regard the Richmond Enquirer as the
most venerable ard reliable oracle Of the party, and
who have locked upon its dspensations in all matters
involving the rival claims and sentiments of its vari
Gus sections, guided by the most rigid and scrupu-
lous imparality, regret exceedingly perceive in it
lately what appears to them obvious departure
from this laudabe course. We sincerely trust that
the editor of the Enquirer will mediate upon these
suggestions, and while he is giving place in his
iumps 10 The public demonstrations OF the friends of
other candidates, vouchsafe audience occasionally
to the friends Of Johnson. The publication in the
Enquirer of the Addresses Of the Kentucky Demo-
cratic State Convention, and of the St Louis De-
mocracy TO the Democrats of Missouri, would eX-
ceedlngly much crafty large body of the Western
people.

AN EXCHANGE, BUT NO RoBBERY.-On the last day
Of the session of the American Board of Commission
recently held at Rochester, ministerial delegate
went into BARRIERS shop to he shaved and having
taken of his coat, it handed to boy who brush
ed it and laid it chair. About the same time a
gentleman came in and prepared in like manner for
the operation. The clergyman ready to leave
the shop first, and taking up coat which he sup
posed was his own put it and hurried to the break
fast table. He had not been seated long when the
error was discovered by the other gentleman, and a
hot pursuit was made by the barber and his aids who
soon found the Rev. Mr.. G. comfortably taking his
breakfast without having discovered the mistake and
of greatly surprised when told that the coat
he had contained pocket-book with five thou
sand dollars in it. The was soon rectifed and
satisfactory explanations were made. Both garments

any one might have committed the same blunder.-

THE POSITION OF PARTIES.

The present position Of parties in this country is
an anomaly IN the history of republics On the one
hand we see arrayed an administration, whose doc
times and measures sautary and wholesome,
guided by chief whose whole life has been devoted
10 the good of his country. All TIE leading prnci-
ciples embodied in IFS acts put forth in the public
documents of its head, those which have ever
actuated the soundest statesmen and most devoted
patriots of the land The position which is now
eupied by JOHN TYLER, and the measures which are
proposed by him are precisely those which re-
commended and sustained by jefferson, Madison,
and Jackson. They are such have met the warm
approval and have uniformly had the sanction Of the
great democratic party, from the earliest dawn OF
American freedom. And, despite Of all efforts on
the part of It's opponents they such still meet
with most hearty response from the bosoms OF nine
tenths OF the democracy OF the country.
But what, let US inquire, is the position Of some OF
those claiming to be the leaders of the dehscratic
party-the patterns par excellence, Of the great Repub
lican family? Are they found cooperating with the
President and his friends, ustaning those
OF his administration which in accordance with
the principles by which they profess to be governed
UNFOLDING and supporting him in the war which lie
has waged against the common enemies of their
country, and of the party to which they belong In
word, are they found arrayed the side of the
people OF the great mass of the democratic party
struggling TO keep down those common enemies to
their freedom, mammoth bank, high protective ia
RITZ, corporate powers and priveges' Or are they
condemned federal faction, rallying around Henry
Clay as their leader--in these attacks at east-and
opposing with headlong zeal that very administration
whose measures have caused the downfall Of the most
deadly foes of the party to which they profess to be-
long. Illuminating as is the acknowledgment, yet
sacred regard for truth compels us to make 1.-THE
latter position Is unfortunately that in which the edi-
tors OF the Globe, and several Of its allies in differ
ent parts of the country, is now TO be found. But
fortunately for the welfare Of the country, and for the
cause Of free government throughout the world, the
present unnatural and suicidal of this class Of
politicians meets with but little favor among the
great mass Of the democratic party Whatever may
be the position of its selfconsituted leaders aud dicr
tators, The body the rank and file of that party is
right upon this subject and will, later, do
justice to the talents and virtue the incorruptble in
tegrity and rmness of the who has breasted the
storm, which has been raised to overwhelm in one
common ruin, not only himself, but those sacred in
sttutions over which it was made his duty by an
all-wise dspensation Of Providence to preside and
protect

WHAT GREAT BRITAIN CONSIDERS GOOD
CAUSE TO GO TO WAR

The more we reflect on the recent declaration
Of Lord Aberdeen, the British Minister of Fo-
reign Affairs the more repugnant TO the honor
and independence OF the Uuited States, do the
sentiments and purpo es therein expressed APP
pear TO US. We fear that no other Than de
llbtrate purpose 10 insult and intimidate our
country can be attributed 10 the declaration that
The design of the British Government, in nego-
uaiing a treaty with Texas, Is, first, 10 secure
the abolition of slavery in that State, and, then,
ain the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA"
When France was Republic, and before
the exploits of Napoleon dazzled the world, Eng
labd took offence at faF less proyocatiohs, as
will be seen from The following extract from the
despatch Of Lord Grenve, the British Minis
ter, 10 NJ. Chauvelin, the French Envoy, dated
February s. 1893;
England viii never consent that France should
arrogate 10 herself the power of annuiling at plea
sure, Under cover OF pretended natural right OF
which She makes herself the IL judge, the political
system OF Europe, established by solemn treaties
and guaranteed by the consent OF all the powers -
She Will never see with Indifference France make
herself either directly or ndireeiu sovereign of the
Losc Countries general arbltress of Europe Ii
France IS really DESTROYS of maintaining peace and
friendship with England, let her renounce her views
OF aggression and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and conf herself
scitin her ter tory without insulting other Gov
ernmenls, distW hing rtraaqulli, or violating Mir
rights"
France did neither, and England waged fu-
rious war against her for twenty years.
But, We would ask, what greater interest could
England feel in the fate of the g Low Coun-
tries" than we do in hat of Texas? And has
not England "directiy" made herself the '.arbi-
tress' Of the I" countres" on our Southern Dor
der? Has she no views of Z" ACKNOWLEDGEMENT %
Does she confne herself within her own terri

to form an alliance with eighboring power

the United States? Is il not disturbing our
tranquility to threaten TO despol one half of the

rights 10 attempt 10 abrogate the existing laws |
In our uudisputed territories?

" TOO MUCH PORK FOR A SHILLING

GREAT EXCITEMENT

We understand that quite a Aare-up has recently
taken place in the usually very quiet borough Of Sto-
nington, in Connecticut, which affords melancholy
proof of human deprayity, and the particulars of
which, as near as we can learn them, follows:
Elder Anderson Baptist Minister, and a man Of
wealth, who resided in that village for several years
enjoying unblemished reputation married some
ten years since widow lady, Mrs Douglass, of
Newark, New Jersey, with two children son and
daughter-the daughter being at the time of her
mothers marriage about twelve years Of age. About
eighteen months since Mrs. Anderson died and the
daughter took charge OF the household affairs of her
father-in-law. Nothing in the mean time occurred
to excite wonder or suspicion until few days
since letter was received by citizent in
Sonington from the Elder, who had been absent
from home several months with his daughter-n-law
stating that he should return in the course of few
days with his 10 ts and desiring that matters and
things at his house should be put in appe-pie order
In due of time the elder made his appearance

teal daughter-n lar, TO whom he pretended to have
been married since October last Here was pretty
