THE DEMocRAr1c RAILn Ar FARMER.


The DEMOCRATIC RALLY AT FARMERS
vnLE.-The gallant Democracy Of Frank
lin Township held an old fashioned
meeting at Farmersville on Saturday,
There were from FIVE to eight hundred per-
sons in attendance, who were addressed by
Lieut.. Gov. WILLARD, Gov. WRIGHT, and
Hon. VIM. STEWART. The speeches were
what was to have been expected from the
reputation of the gentlemen who delivered
them-an expose of the deceitfulness and
treachery of Know Nothingism, and its in
evitable tendency towards the distraction of
these relations of amity and brotherhood
which should characterize the citizens of
great Republic like our own. Each speaker
showing that the reception of the doctrines of
Know Nothhgism and Abolitionism, as now
taught by the Fusion party, must result in a
dissolution of the Union-that the effort of
that party to establish a religious test as a
qualification for the exercise of the elective
franchise OF an election to office was inilnical
to Republicanism, and only found a parallel
in the more absolute monarchies of the old
world. They held that all our citizens who
had complied with the laws, in regard to natu-
ralization and other points affecting the fran
chise, were, and of right should be, equal
participants in the exercise Of that franchise,
and equally eligible to an election to Office.
Religion should not be made a test in this
matter. The speeches were received with
the greatest good feeling, and the speakers
were frequently disturbed by the most raptu-
rous applause.
The assemblage was enlivened by music,
and the glorious stars and stripes of our coun-
try, inscribed with "Union-now and for
ever"-waved in the breeze, making every
patriotic heart to pulsate the quicker as it felt
the thrilling influences which that ever victo-
rious flag must inspire in the bosom of the
true American.
Several gentlemen of influence and stand
ing, who last year were arrayed in opposition
to the Democratic party, were present at thi
meeting, actively cooperating in its proceed
ings, and expressing themselves satisfied tina
the inevitable tendency of the present Fusiol
movement is to AJolitsonize and ARti-Ameri
canize our State. They could not consisten
with their convictions Of right-their love O
country-lend their influence to factio
whose principles were so incompatible wit
American institutions as expounded by tn
fathers Of the Republic.
Let our Democratic friends in every town
ship in the State, follow the example Sc
them by the Democracy of Frankln-lt
them organize-for in organization and unio
there is strength-and when the day of ba
tie arrives they will see the Jerico walls
FusiOnism tumble to the ground-victory wi
perch upon their banners.

OTGEo w. CUTTER is about publishing a
revised edition of his poems. He is a much
better poet than politician. Having been on
all sides of all questions for ten years past,
he has at last turned Know Nothing, and is
making speeches in Kentucky. We presume
unless he changes before its issue, that hi.
new book of poems, will contain the song o.
Il PluriJus U,lstng with the following stanza
omitted, as no follower of Sam can sanction
such heresy:
"The Oppressed Of the earth to that standard shall fy,
Wherever its folds shah be spread,
And the exile shall feel tits his own native sky,
Where its stars shall float over his head;
And those stars shall increase till the falness Of time
Its millions Of cycles has run
Till the world shall have welcomed its mission sublim
And the nations Of earth shall be one.''

Journalism in Great Britain and
America

The above is the title of an able article il
the July number of the New York Quarter
ly' from which we propose to condense some
oil It's interesting facts and suggestions.
The press in Great Britain has been styled
with good reason ''the fourth estate of the
realm;" although the circulation of newspa-
pers there, when compared with the United
States is small.
Inc number of each newspaper that is
printed Is known by the record of stamp,
furnished by government; and from this re-
cora the tables of circulation are prepared.
The newspapers published in the city OF
London comprise at least two-thirds of the
entire newspaper circulation of the United
Kingdom Of these the daily papers in
1904 had circulation of seventy-nine
thousand, and the weekly papers of three
hundred and three thousand. The Daily
Times had fifty-one thousand and the Week
ly Times seventy-five thousand The Daily
Morning advertiser stands next to the Times;
and yet Its circulation was but seven thou
sand SIX hundred for its daily. The Nelos Of
the World had weekly patronage ahead of
the Times amounting to a hundred and nine
thousand. According to the English Post
Master Generals report for 1854, there were
about tiIty-three million newspapers sent
through the London Post Office that year.
The number of newspapers published in the
kingdom-the aggregate number printed in a
year Is natGKln ninety million.
The political newspaper is the great orgaT
of public opinion, and it is a significant fact
that the liberal papers have increased and the
decreased in the last three years.
Divided into three classes, the London

Our space will not permit us to give an &C
count of the history and character of the diff
ferent English Journals We select part of
the sketch given of the London Times.
The London Times, in its resources, its cap
ital, its value as a property, in the amount
and variety of its contents, in its world wide
circulation and influence, and in the talent
and learning shown in its columns, has long
been considered, as the leading newspaper
of Great Britain and the world. 1t has been
the terror of evil doors, has had the envy of
the little, the fear Of the great; has been read
| by all, had the confidence of few, and been
loved by none. The Irish judge, the country
squire, and the London magistrate fear to give
decisions at wal with reason, justice and right
not because the law is strong, but because

in the footsteps of their illustrious predeccs-
sors, the members of the Philadelphia Con-
vention, adopted a platform, which we give

The Council declared itself entirely discon-

the obligation of secrecy to some ex-

that it does not say anything about the wal

Catholics and foreigners are prescribed with
out mercy or reason. The object to be ac-
complshed, as Acknowledged by this corrupt

the division of the spoils From the follow
ing paragraph copied from the Louisville
journal of July n, 1874, it will be seen that
he then sang a very different psalm (San):
The Tribune, paper started in this city a
few days ago, which espouses the wing cause,
contained, on Saturday, an article on Native
Americanism, wherein both the Native Amer
leans and the Catholic Priesthood are de-
nounced as Tories, and as friends of mon
archical and arbitrary power. We are unable
to comprehend the article, but feel called
upon, on the part of the Wings, to disavow
its attack on the Catholic priesthood. Neither
the Wing party, or any other political party
in this country, has anything to do with mems
religious opinions. Perfect liberty of religious
opinion is guaranteed by the Constitution, and
all sweeping attacks upon the ministry of any
Christian denomination we regard as unwise,
unjust, and uncharitable.
