that they can succeed in 1874, by the same means
that placed themin power in 1910; but such means
will never do second time They exhibit good
memory but bad judgment. land this suggests
an anecdote we heard day or two since.
A gentleman Of the Connecticut Legislature,
when going to Hartford. rode avery fine horse
While on the road, The horse, in going through q
mud-hole, stuck fast; the member had to dismouni
and lead his horse out Of the mire. The same
gentleman was elected the following year; and in
going to the capital Of the State travelled the same
road, on the same horse. They came TO the same
mud-hole but the horse, evidently well remember.

mire, until he got nearly past it,-but, by some
means he got into the mire second time. The
member had to dismount again, and lead hi,

BEAUTIFUL INCIDENT.


The United States Gazette, speaking of the late
riots in Kensington, says:
ave saw on Saturday the ruins in Kensington,
the blackened crumhled walls OF the church, of the
school house, and of many, very many dwelling
houses, that the passions Of men had doomed to
destruction. The heart sckens at such exhibitions
and inquiries for the justice of man. that allowed OF
such unlawful, unruIy violence; or the justice Of
Heaven, which seemed to sleep amid the wrong
doings Of the wicked, both when the murders were
committed and the property wasted We learned
nothing there to answer that inquiry, but returning
by way of Fourth street, we went up and stood
amid the smouldering ruins Of st. Augustine's;
and when we renewed our inquiry, our eye
rested on the uppermost portion of the oppo-
site wall, from which the fire had peeled eve-
ry particle of plasterng and licked off the decora-
tive paint; but as il in defiance of the wrath OF
man and the fury Of the flames. there stood, in
clear uninjured letters, the inscription, "THE
LORD sEErH" And we turned away satisfied
in our heart, and exclaiming in quiet submission,
"ShalI not the Judge of all the earth do right"

We copy the following (says the
Statesman) from the Baltimore Sun, "a
neutral paper giving brief account OF
great meeting Of the democracy held
at Monument Square, a few evenings
since:
"DEmocRATlc Mass MEETiNc.-Last
evening, pursuant to public notice, an
immense assemblage Of the democratic
party of this city took place in Monu-
ment square. Soon after the time ap-
pointed, that large area was literally
thronged with the masses which poured
in from each ward of the city, where
they had been organised, and arrange
ments had been perfected to visit the
square in procession. The eastern area
OF the courthouse yard, usually occu-
pied on these occasions by the officers
of the meeting, was also densely crow
ded. A commodious platform, rece-
ding to the edifice in the rear had been
erected, in front Of which the rostrum
was placed, tastefully ornamented u, :
cording to tho political predictions Of
the party. Above was exhibited a
large transparency, on which were
three half circles, that in the middle be-

THE BALTIMORE CONVENTION.

We have not, as yet heard the result Of the
democratic national convention, which convened
at Baltimore on Monday last We have pledged
ourselves to use our best exerions for the nominee
Of that convention. When we consider the i'm
portance of the principles involved in the coming
contest, it becomes the duty of every democrat
to be on the alert Let no local or sectional feel
ings mar the harmony Of the democratic party.
There are, in our our opinion, greater measures
involved in the coming contest than that Of the
annexation Of Texas. II SO, why for moment
let that subject distract the feelings, cause dis
sensions among Ius' Let every democrat do his
. duty.

PHILADELPHIA RIOTS.

The estimated loss of property by the late riots
in Philadelphia, is, by some papers, stated at a
quarter of million of dollars.
Previous to the late election in the city of New
York, an address was issued by the Nativeists in
one of the wards, from which we extract the fol-
lowing:
"In this ward you are presented with men; who,
thank God have no polluted foreign blood running
through their reias! Look at the hords of Dutch
and Irish thieves ami vaga5onds crowding about
our streets; look at the English and
Scotch pickpockets and burglars, crowding our
places of amusement; look at the Irish
and Dutch groeers and rumsellers, look at the
audaciols interference of all these foreigners at
our elections we call upon you not only
be ruled by ignorant, bloated and unprneipled
rabJle, to come out in your might and crush this
curse to our beloved country.
"By order of the American Republican General
Committee"
The Cincinnati Enquirer, says "In our humble
judgment such inilammatory and libellous publica-
tons as the above have been the immediate cause
in producing the unhappy state of things, which
has broken out in riot and ravage in Philadelphia"
This is undoubtedly true.
The Philadelphia Spirit of the times says:
"The bell Of St Augustine's, which melted and
fell in the flames of the burning church, was the
old bell which first chimed musical peals at the
Declaration of American Independence - the
dawning of freedom, political and religious, upon
this Union. The parsonage back Of St. Angus
tines, was at the time ofhe cholera, given to the
city for hospital, and the Rev. DR.. Hurry, now
deceased attended in person at the bedsides of the
sick during that dreadful season. Several of the
Sisters Of Charity also attended, and ministered to
the sufferings of our citizens. The physicicians
attendant at that time were Drs Burden and
Jackson"
These are indeed ''facts calculated to appeal TO
the heart Of every American and philanthropist."
