1t is quite sufficient to say in praise Of
vindicOtiOn Of the democratic purity Of this
republic, that it is as yet the only political
organization which has satisfactorily dem
onStrated that it possessed within itself
the requisite materials for the successful
and satisfactory administration Of the gov
ernment Of this united confederact and
for proof Of the assertion we have only 10
refer to the political history Of the country
from the Jel1ersonian era of 1900 down TO
the present moment.
1t will be seen that all the prominent
measures originating with this, the only
efficient and administrative party in the
country, and whose principles, together
with the practical measures which flow
therefrom, have degree of positireAeSS
about them which renders them eminently
adapted to enter into the administration
Of its affairs, have actually entered into
and now form component part and par
Gel Of its government. So sensible have
the opposition become in regard to this
fact that it has entirely ceased to present
its claims upou the public confidence IN be-
huff Of its measures Of public policy upon
any principles inherent in itself, but have
been compelled to steal the thunder"-tO
borrow au expressive phrase from a late
distinguished member of what then consti-
tuted the opposition party-Of the nation
al party Of the Union.
The time has been when the opposition
planted themselves upon some wellde6ned
principles, and wero content to stand or
fall upon their own merits exclusively
This, however, is no longer the case Let
US revert to the memorable campaign which
resulted in the (whig) victory Of 1910.
Was the triumph then achieved triumph
Of the bona tde principles Of the opposition
as then existingl Not at all In its es-
sence it was q democratic achievement
that is to say, it was the result Of q sue
cessfnl appeal to the democratic sensibili-
ties and susceptibilities Of the people. The
truth Of this will be obvious TO every re-
fccting reader, and when afierward It was
attempted to use the victory thus surrepti-
tiously obtained to carry into practical ad-
ministration the radical and inherent prin-
ciples Of the whig party as displayed when
disrObed Of It's republican" attire, they,
that is the leaders, soon learned to their
cost the democratic tendencies Of the peo-
pie, to which they had appealed during the
canvass, and under which they had uppa-
rently gained triumph for their own
cherished principles, was too deeply seated
TO be shaken when menaced BY an un-
masked foe. Thus it will ever be and
notwithstanding the fact that many Of the
local elections in several Of the states may,
for the time being, result to the Temporal
ry advantage Of the opposition, they are
only to be regarded as prelndes to q tri-
umphant Vindication Of the great and es-
sential principles Of the great national par
ty Of the Union,--New York Daily Nel0s.

Mr.. Bryant was n federalst during the
administration of Thomas Jefferson, and
his writings at that time reflected the feel
ings and disposition of the federal party
towards the great patriot and statesman
then occupying the presidential chair. To
show in what esteem VIM. c. Bryant and
the federal party then held Mr.. Jefferson,
we publish the following poem, written by
Bryant in or about the year 1903. Read
it, fellow democratic republicans, and see
what sort Of men are now seeking TO hang
themselves upon the political skirts Of the
great apostle of democracy:

And thou the scOrn Of every patriot name,
Thy country's ruin and her councils shame
Poor servile thing derision Of the brave
Who erst from Tareton fed to Carter's cave
Thou, who when menaced by perhdious Gaul,
Didst PROSTATE to her whiskered minions fall,
And when our cash her empty bags supplied,
Didst meanly strive the foul disgrace to hide
Go, wretch resign the presidential chair,
Disclose thy secret measures, foul or fair,
Go, search with curious eyes for horned frogs,
Mid the wild waste Of Louisiana bogs;
. Or where the Ohio rolls his turbid stream;
Dig for huge bones, thy glory and thy theme
Go, scan, philosophist, thy Sally's charms,
And sink supinely in her sable arms"

TO- We understand from Mr.. G.. G.
Breed, that the agent of the Aubin Gas
Company of Albany, will be here in a
few days. The following is the closing
sentence of the letter received from the
Gas Company:
"When our agent goes to GAINESVILLE, he
will take with him proof Of the character
of our works, and if contract is made a
quantity can be included, that the works,
if managed at all properly, will pay the 10
per cent, beyond all contingencies. Our
agent can also satisfy you, that the gas
light can be sold cheaper than any other
light, and that our gas gives very bril-
liant light"
We hope Immediately on the arrival Of
this agent, our citizens will call immediate
ly meeting, and let us celebrate next 4th
of July, by Gas Illumination, and ride
on the Railroad.

say We listened with great deal OF
pleasure, TO the Lectures ga Monday and
Wednesday evenings, by Col. j. M. David
son. His themes we're, "the Wealth of
Intellect" and "the Jewels Of Common
wealth" COL d. handled his subjects with
skill, and held his audience nearly spell.
bound during his readings. Parts Of his
lectureswere rhetorically beautiful, and his
climacterics were so well rounded, and
took their position at the end of his SEN
fences, by so easy glide, that man who
could not hear, had he been present, could
have seen in the face Of the listeners, the
eloquence Of the speaker. Mr.. DIS elocu-
ton is good, and we expect to hear well Of
him in his future lectures. In connection
with notice of this lecture, we would like
TO ask if the time will ever come, when a
lecturer can go through his entire read
ings without that intolerable buzzing,
grumbling sound, which we have at the
door of the only spacious hall we have in
the city. Will the owner or agent of the
hall not see that the gentlemen % at
the end Of the Hall near the door are seat
ed and will not these same gentlemen be
good enough to believe that silence is more
pleasant, when they consider that their
private conversation only interests few,
and seriously disturbs all.
