The Secret Ballot.

1hc ScCrcL HalIOts
We referred in paragraph few days ago,
to the opposition of the Wing papers of New
England to the law passed at the last session of
the Legislature of Massachusetts, giving the
people of that State the protection. of the Sc
cret Ballot. Since that we have observed tia
the subject has elected remarks in other quar-
ters. The Hartford Daily Times, in a recent
number, after remarkng the opposition OF the.
Wing press generally to this just and salutary
law, gives the following forcible illustration of
its beneicent results - Haa
Moreover, it has been frequently asserted by
the opponents Of democracy that there was no
necessity for such law-that there were no
Wings who would cocrce those in their employ
to vote the whig ticket. .H
Now mark the result and the operation of this
law upon its first trial Lowell, the greatest
manufacturing town in Massachusetts, and one
which has been uniformly and reliably Whig
heretofore, now sends ten Democratic Represen-
tahrcs to the Legislature IN the place of the ten
Wings that nave always been elected from that
place. The Democratic voe is increased in
that city from S9l to ,342-a gain Of 451.-
What does this mean? 1t cannot well be as
cribed to "the coalition, for the coalition was,
in force, and Just thorough and effective, in
Lowell las year But it can be explained by
the fact that Lowell contains large populaticu
of laboring men, who are employed In the fac
torres there, and who nave IN thls elecllon, Ior
the first time, had the privilege Of voting as
they please. The result shows which way their
political tendencies are. BY the operation of
the "secrct ballot law, which has been SO
heartily opposed and ridiculed by the Wing
press, they have rovolutionized the city and
made relative difference OF 20 in the Legisla-
ture
In Boston, where there is large amount of
manufacturing under Wing control, the Demo-
cratic vote is increased 1,725, while the Wing
vote has fallen off about 600.
In Roxbury the Democratic vote is larger
than that Of last year by 10a, while the Wing
vote shows a decrease Of $50. Other towns
where laborers employed collectively ex-
hibit similar increase of the Democratic vote
and falling off of wing strength.
The result of the first election in Massachu-
setts under the "sccret ballot" Law would seem
to indicate that the wings had excellent reason
for the fears they entertained ofthat law.-Pen"-

THE LATE RAPIDS CoNvENTIoN AND JUDGE
are panied to learn from friend
in Burlington, that Judge Rorer should feel that
injustice had been done him, by the manner in
which our correspondent "Observer" reported
the proceedings of the Convention, IN reference
to the Memorial to Congress. That documen mt
was framed by Judge Rorer, introduced on his
own responsibility, and adopted by the Convsn-
ton on his motion. sObseryer,' as we learn
from him, intended SO to have said. He, as
well as ourselves, would be one of the last per-
sons to do injustice to Judge r., who as he and
we really think is entitled to much credit fol
the able and persevering manner in which he
discharged his duties as delegate

ryA friend at our elbow desires to know who
or what is to be thanked tomorrow. The Gov
ernor's Proclamation, setting apart day OF
praise and thanksgiving, don't enlighten him,
he says. We regret our friends predicament,
but must refer him to the Governor for the de-
sired information. The boys, we know, arc
very thankful to the Governor himself for the
Proclamation.-Tr Tribune Of The 26th inst.
Divine Providence is to be thanked for the
unboundcd prosperity Of our people and country
and the Governor is to be thanked for relieving
in conformity with an established usage Of thu
country, our magnanimous citizens from peru
sal of the Tribune.
This proclamation is poor theme upo
which to spit forth political venom.

WHAT BECOMES OF THE GoLD This ques-
ton is discussed by the st. Louis Times, which
arrives, we think, to the right conclusion 1t
says:
.Less gold is in circulation than there should
be, considering the large quantity sent from the
Mint The practice of boarding gold, in part
explains this. All through the rural districts
gold is boarded to very great extent, and even
in cities, though to a less degree. Thousands
Of persons who would never think of boarding
bank note, hoard gold for the latter can never
lose its value, which the former may A few
dollars laid by here, and few there, produce,
in the aggregate, a large sum. 1t is impossible
to tell to what extent this boarding is carried on
but there is good reason to believe that 1t
prevails to a very great extent.-Galena .7drcr-
ttser.
It was but few days since, that the
editor of the Advertiser, was accounting for this
scarcity, upon different principle. 1t was
then the odious tariff of 1916, which was taking
all the gold and silver to Europe, and impover.
ishing the country; but when we proved to him
that our exports for the last three years had been
more than double our imports and that there
was in the country $30,000,OO0 more gold
than there was twenty five months aeo he tacks
about and takes an other course. This is whig
consistency.

The migrants are coming in rapidly, though
the late storm seriously retarded their progress
through the mountains. Snow fell in the Cas-
cades TO the depth Of eight or ten inches; large
quantity Of water also Cell, and the streams vii
not be likely to again get down to low-water
mark this season. The suffering from cold (and
in few instances from lack Of provisions) is
represented'to have been very great. Animals
became so chilled as to be unable to proceed,
and parties were frequently compelled TO camp
and shield themselves from the storm in the
best manner possible until il abated, or until re
lieved by assistance from this side. ~
A correspondent at the Dalles states that the
Snake Indians have been somewhat trouble
some. Mr. Hudson Clark, of Scott county,
Illinois, who, with his mother, sister, and broth
er, had got ahead of his train, was attacked by
about thirty Indians near Raft River, about
forty miles west of Fort Hall, and his mother
and brother murdered, and his sister, a young
lady of about twenty two years, dangerously
wounded and then brstally ravished by most Of
the party. The fends then made good their
escape, taking with them twenty two horses, the
property Of Mr.. Clark and Mrs. Hoffman
Mrs. c. was an aged lady, and had a son named
Thomas who came to this country in lS48, and
who is now residing somewhere in the territory.
A few days previous to- the commission of
these outrages the same bandof Indians attack
ed a wagon owned by Mr.. Miller, of Western
Virginia, and killed his brother-in-law, Mr..
Jackson, and wounded young lady, daughter
of Mr. M. Mr.. Miller was also seriously
wounded but it was thought he would recover.
MIR. Harpoors train Of twenty wagons was
likewise attacked near this place, and after
fight of two hours the Indians were repnlsed,
witha considerable loss. Mr. II. is an old Or
,gonian. Eg ,.tEf .#s ,e rssa4.a za63
A party of sixteen men returned and rave bat
lie to the Indians who attacked Mr.. Clark, but
we're driven back with loss Of one killed, and
me wounded They penetrated far enough i'll.
o the mountains to discover their rendezvous,
md they report that they have an immense band
# horses.
Our correspondent represents the immi-
rants to be generally healthy, and well sup
'lied with provisions. Their teens are also in
'etter condition than those of any proceeding

The next Congress.

In a few days the Representatives of this
great republic, will be called together in gene
al Congress. There is every prospect of a warm
and exciting session. Questions relating to our
foreign, and domestic policy, which have been
called into existence since the adjournment OF
Congress, will be brought forward and examin-
ed, and it may be that an investigation into their
particulars will reflect no credit upon the Exccu-
tive and his advisers. However, let this turn
out as it may, we shall aim to give our readers
the latest and most reliable information from
that quarter.
Both branches of the national Legislature arc
largely democratic, and therefore, we may rely
with confidence, that the business will be trans
acted with view to the public interest, and that
the Executive, his advisers and their several as
sistan:s, will be held to strict accountability
for the proper discharge of their respective
duties.
We sincerely hope that the business of the
session may be promptly and tremendously
transacted, and the country greatly benefited by
the judicious management of those who are Sc
lected to qua rd its interests.
