ard the burden Of direct taxatiou have been re-
ducsd half million OF dotars, and many useful
reforms hsye been commenced. which L persevered

Democrats can have nothing to say. AZ for the
old Wings and Americans, they must he dumb. for
they were caught last year voting for uoder
whose administration sor three years the State got
so badly involved, and with whose retainers steal
ing was the rule and honesty the exception.
Dir. Gushing i looked upon az a little uu=ound.
BE does Lot absolutely refuse to he con-

Of Ant. Slavery opinions; believes the country will

authority in such matters which thihs, If the conc

more cautious He should not dispel the illusion
under which certsn persons ale laborng, that their

country from destruction. The satisfaction of an
are Likely to have, and they ought not to be deprived
OF that
Congressional prospects remain shout As they
were Mr. Colby of New 5uryport thinks he shall
be nominated as the Republican candidate 10 the
With District, even though he was for Buchanan in
1876, and for Gardner in l-i7. You see that the
word impossible il not in hls vocabulary any more
than il was in Napoeons. One Of his friends writes
to Tie Traroior that ne was an EmancipatiOnist
many years ago--one of the early AbOl.tiOnIst-. 1t
that to be tie test, the people OF the District had
better take Dr. George H. LOring or Caleb Cushing
who were Abcionists locg before Colby was. II
tbev csnnot have one who has been early and late in
the Anti-Slayery enterprise, tley would be safer
with one who is sound now than with ons Who

tbeer is necessity If gong to the salem Custom
House for a candidate lust yet. In the third de
tIict now represented by Nr. Damrell, there IL
very disreputable intrigue going on TO prevent MI
&. T. Adams from getting the nomination, but IL ls
impossible for it to succeed. Ii Mr.. Adams would
do ANYTHING for himself there would be 40 doubt
whatever Of the result. And there are people who
say that because he will not involve himself in in
trigues for q seat ia Congress, he ought
not 10 have it. One man actually had the
audacity to que.e against him the saying that
Heaven helps those who help themselves. |
notice some specuations in n Boston letter pub
Gshed IN The n. Y. Times relative to the Fourth
District. The writer speaks of Mr.. Sleeper OF
Ro1bury as being the possible candidate OF the
Americans and Republicans. Mr.. Sleeper, who is
most fortunately named. was formerly editor of The
Boston Journal, and for two three years has been
the Rum and Pro Slavery Mayor Of Roxbury. He
was one Of the Committee which two yeirs ago
recommended the people Of the Fourth District to
support COL Greene Of The Post for Congress, in
stead of Mr.. Conins. Hc would be a nice Repub-
lean candidate.
The Atlantic Monthly for August will be out in
day or two 1t has a very spicy article on our
Pocket Celebration of the Fourth" which is like
ly enough from. the pen Of James Russell Lowell,
though this is only a guess.
