well known as man Of grsat ability, in

time on, we part company with him as our
candidate for that Office

There were features in it which would, in

Whether we shall take the trouble to

on circumstances.
For the present, we will only add that
if this opening of the canvass" is an in

re- The New York Herald, Buchan-

Retrcnchment and reform, he says, must
carry the next election There never was
so much need for both. The National
Treasury exhausted, the Government in
debt. the corn crop failure. how are the
people to pay taxes for State and county
purposes and s23 per head necessary to
support the extravagances of Mr. Buchan-
ans administration. Every farmersin this
county, in addition to his ordinary taxes,
pays, indirectly. to the National Treasury
s23 for every person on his premises; if
there are ten in the family he pays $3.50
towards supporting the administration. Is
it any wonder the old gray rats like Ben
net desert sinking ship? The Hciald
says: 44
The late Presidential election, from the
divisions of the popular vote, established
the conviction of the public mind that not
only majority, but an overwhelming ma
jority of the people. of the United States
arc opposed to the Democratic party. We
have heretofore shown that since the year
1885 the Democratic has been a minority
party, and that its success in lS4i, 1852,
and 1856, resulted, not from its own in
herent strength, but from the .disscnsions
and divisions and conflicting factions Of
the orposition. Mr. Buchanan was thus
slipped in between two conflicting opposi
tion factions, which. if united. would have
defeated him by popular majority of
nearly four hundred thousand votes.
