WASHINGTON, June IS, 1884
learn that one day last week, seven hun
bred Germans new immigrants, passed through
Cincinnati, on their way to Kansas. | am
credibly informed that this is only one small
party out Of the many parties now on their
way for Kansas and Nebraska, and that all
these bodies numerous in the aggregate, are
but the advanced guard Of an overwhelming
foreign force. When Col Msnyponny was in
Nebraska last year, he found there but three
white men; soon there will be some hundreds
of thousands, all anti.slavery men. Il is time
for tho South to acknowledge that they never
believed in the Nebraska bill as a benefit; and
the North, now affecting to be 10 much agita-
ted by the repeal Of the Migouri Compromise,
must acknowledge that the Nebraska bill is
bill for the enlargement Of the area of Abcli-
tionsm. All these settlers are TO have the
right Of suffrage from the start. have not

If on the other hand, it is sectional organiza-
ton, it will perish almost at its birth. learn
however, that its principles will DO announced

Dr. Olds's post Office bill, which was defeated
yesterday, will be resuscitated Members did
not understand the gentleman when they voted
on it or it would undoubtedly have passed. IL

partment for all tho mail matter it expedites,

Every ono who shaves himself knows the ad-
vantage of good razor strop. Such one we
have lately met with, and now take pleasure
n recommending as decidedly the best strop
now in use. These strops are manufactured by
J. G. Tilton, of Cambridgeport, Mass, and
have two homes attached, one Of which is con-
vex. Any person can see its adaptation to the
form Of razor over all others. They super
sede the necei sity of ever grinding the razor,
the hone No. being made on the principle of
wheel, 80 that when you use it You concava
the side of your razor, as you would if it were
ground. To the officers Of the army and navy
We would consider these strops invaluable, as
they are not in the least affected by water or
damp weather, and are adapted to any eli
mate.

In Ohio, as we have seen, Wings and indie
pendent Democrats, and the liberal section Of
the Old Line Democracy, are proposing to give
up their distinctive organizations, and form a
new combination for freedom-only another
way of reaching the same object about to be
attained in Maine. We hail this movement
says the New York Tribune, "with unfeigned
qualification, as propitious OF wide and lasting
advantage to the cause Of freedom IL is an
omen which promises the most bcne6cent re-
suits. Let all sides and all classes, Wings,
Democrats and Frce-Soilers, generally, lay
aside their ancient and minor causes of differ
ence, and in spirit Of elevated patriotism unite
in unselfsh devotion TO the great cause Of
human rights
In Vermont, still another way opens towards
union. The whole Wing Party emphatically
adopts the Principles and Policy for which In
dependent Democrats have so inflexibly con-
tended; and now, what should prevent their
combination The Brandon (vt) Pos, Free
Democratic paper, speaking Of the action Of
the Convention, says:
Although IL would have been better to
have adjourned without making any nomina-
tions, and issue general call for that purpose,
still we are not disposed TO view that nm insur
mountable obstacle to union OF the friends OF
freedom, and would urge upon the Convention
to assemble on the Goth, the wisdom OF adopt
ing the ticket put in nomination mt Rutland.
We have yet to meet the Free Democrat who
feels otherwise.

as scarce as hens teeth, endeavor to repu-
diate the test altogether. There is but one
course TO pursue in relation to them, and that
is to decapitate them. We wish it to be
distinctly understood by all the Democracy
of this county and throughout the Statet,h hat
the Courier will oppose the election of any
candidate for any political office, who does
not come up to the standard of true Democ-
racy, and recognise the test which was, and
ever will be, the most important plank of
the national and State Democratic platforms.
Those who are not with us are against us.
We can recognise no middle ground. We
repudiate all those who cannot come up to
the scratch, by whatever name they may call
themselves. We will recognise no Conven-
tion or nomination as Democratic unles the
potGer test is either expressly or impliedly
recognized"
That is just the way Gen. Clark talked
in 1850, on that "great question:" and he
even shed tears at the ruin that was to be
brought upon the country, by electing men
who acknowledged this "overshadowing
power" And in 1852, the gallant General
scratched Gardenhre and the Richardson's
from his ticket, because they acknowledged
the power. Where does he stand now?-
Has he caved, or would he still suffer ''his
right arm to fall from his body before he
would vote for man who conceded such
power to Congress" We hear it intimated
that Hancock has whipped him in" and he
has abandoned the "lone plank" that con-
Quoted him from the Wing to the Democrat
ic party. That was the only question he
split with the wings on-(as he said, and
as nobody denied and if it is ''immateri-
all now, why is he not as good whig as
ever, with the same "rings On his tail?"--
The wings wouldn't run him for Congress,
and he left them. The democrats have re-
fused to run him also, and where is he go
ing now? The Benton party is the last re-
sort, and from his facility in shifting his
sails, together with some out-givings attrib-
uted to him, we should not be surprised to
hear of his seeking Congressional race
from that party next.
