ARRIVAL OF THE CoMET--Ihe quickest trip
on record from San Eancisco.-Our shipping
merchants were taken all aback on Saturday
afternoon by the announcement of the arrival
Of the clipper ship Comet, Capt. Gardner, after
most extraordinary run Of eighty three days
and eighteen hours from St Francisco to this
port. This fayorite ship anchored in the North
River, near Castle Garden, and yesterday morn
ing crowds Of people assembled on the Battery
to look at the vessel which had made the quick
est trip to New York from California, a distance
OF seventeen thousand miles The Comet was
twelve days from San Francisco to the Line on
tne Paciflc side; she then encountered a success
Gop OF head winds from Cape Horn to the Equa-
tor; she did not lay her course for twenty one
days, and was fifteen days from the Equator ON
the Atlantic side. Her passage has indeed been
. wonderful one, and she now stands at the
mead OF the list, unequaled, we believe, in her
performance by any vessel afoat. The ship

Last August, some dozen free Democrats Of
Nashua and Nashville formed an organization for
the purpose OF presenting to their townsmen the
claims OF the Free Democratic party to their sup.
port. The Association gradually increased in mum.
bers and interest. Public lectures were occasionally
given, but the chief agent relied upon for success
was Observation-Disclosures with their neighbors,
amidst their daily business, at the family fresids,
ard at their weekly meetings.
No candid man, whether Hunker Democrat or
bunker Wing, can read the platforms of their re-
spective parties, and compare them with the Free
Democratic platform, without admitting that our
principles and policy right and just. Our
Nashua friends, berelore wisely scattered the doc
uments-those containing the words and principle
ofthe Hunker parties set forth in their own Ma
lonal and State Conventions. The result has been
that honest men of both the old parties have been
convinced that fin this country, there be any mean.
ing at all in Democracy, ours is the only Democratic
party Of The nation.
Now for the proof of this. At the election year
ago, there were in Nashua ninety six Free Demo-
cratic votes. Now there are two hundred and forty.
four! In Nashville, our vote has increased from
iorty.two TO sixty-eighi So much for the right
kind OF work and the right sort of agitation. Let
the Free Democracy of every town in the State set
themselves to work and do likewise for the ensuing
year.-Maaehester Democrat.

gaB The following statistics of the good old
winters are curious:-In 401 the Black Sea was
entirely frozen over. In 76S, not only the Black
Sea, but the Straits of the Dardanelles, was fro;
zen over; the snow in some places rose fifty feet
nigh. In 022, the great rivers of Europe-the
Danube, the Elbe, etc.-were so hard frozen as to
bear heavy wagons for a month In $780, the
Adriatic was frozen. In 99l everything was fro
zen; the eFops totally failed, and famine and pes
thence closed the year. In 1867, most the
travellers in Germany were frozen to death on the
roads. In 1888 the Pc was frozen from Cremona
to the sea; the wine casks were burst, and even
the trees split by the action Of the FROST with i'm
mense noise. In 1886, the Danube was frozen to
the bottom, and remained long in that state. In
1916, the crops wholly failed in Germany; wheat,
which some years before sold in England at six
shllllngs the quarter, to two pounds In
I559, the crops failed in Scotland, and Esuch a ia
NINE ensued that the poor were reduced to feed
on grass, and many persisted miserably in the
nelds. The successive winters of 1924 were
uncommon y severe 1t once showed forty DAYS
without interruption. In l46S, the wine distrbut.
ed to the soldiers in Flanders was cut with hatch
cts. In 1884, the winter was excessively cold
Most of the hollies were killed. Coaches drove
along the Thames. the ice of which was eleven
inches thick. In 1903, occurred the cold winter.
The frost penetrated three yards into the ground
In l7l6, booths were erected and fairs held on
the Thames In l744 and l745, the strongest ale
in England, exposed to the air, was covered, in
less than fifteen minntes with ice the eight of an
inch thick. In 1909, and again, in 1912, the
winters were remarkably cold In 1914, there
was fair on the frozen Thames.

MRS SwIssHELM Us. THE lNAUGURAL.-
Mrs Swlsshelm, in the last number of her news
paper, the Pttsburg Visiter, expresses great dis
satisfaction iii regard to the Inaugural Address of
the President of The United States. She says:
''True, our Constitution was framed to secure
the blessings of liberty; but our Chief hIagis-
uate takes his oath TO support that Constitution,
and Immediately declares his purpose to devote
himself TO the maintenance, spread, and perpeu-
lty of slavery This he is to do, and-nohing
else There is positively no other definite point
in his address, other pledge, no other declared
purpose. Cuba, the Compromise, the rendition of
slaves, and the usual bombastic declarations of
patriotism, and impious thanksgiving to an insult
ed God-only this, and nothing more Yet what
has the North TO do with slavery? Our Govern
ment Is to be supported expressly for its benefit.
We must have President and Congress to SUI
perInlend the interests of the peculiar institution
must keep up our army 10 keep down insur-
rectons-must legisate for it, fight for it, pay
taxes for it, suffer fines and mprisonments for it,
slihe the voice of humanity in our own bosonls,
endure the scoff Of the world, and brave the wrath
OF the Almighty for thing that is none of our
buslness--a something with which we have no.
thing to do!
Look at it-look at that address, and see what
we have to do with slavery. Behold the Presi-
uOht "a these hity-lWo states, StaOQ up before
the world, TO declare the purposes and principles
OF our Government, and then admit that The First
", Secondly, Thirdly, Sixteenthly, Lastly, and
intermediatees of these objects consist n-catch-
ing slaves.
five really are slave cutohers and nothing
else if our government has no other aim or object
worth mentioning, we should take the eagle off
our standard, and mount bloodhound and hence
forth let US be known in the family of nations as
the Bloodhound Blues, and have as ii badge of
nobility, good brass collar. 1t is humiliating to
see this utter sinking of all the noble elements of
manhood IN the chosen representative of our ma
ton, II is scathing comment on political free
dom and popular suffrage, that now, inthese days
OF rebuilt thrones and shattered constitutions, the
only great republic on earth has formally declared
Its safety and existence TO depend upon its aacri-
ty in ''catching niggers''
Despotisms depend on armies and navies for
existence. Our republicanism trusts entirely to
kennels for a continuation of life! Such is the
Case as is presented in this miserable inaugural.
and we would for the sake of our country and hu-
manity, it had never been written, spoken, or
printed.
