HUDSON POLITICS,
Hudson Oct. 90. 1880.


To fHE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL
Politics is sgitating the people hero
pretty strongly. The Democrats and
Republicans are each anxious to carry
thor county ticket, and each have some
little difficulty in their own ranks. =
Among the Republicans, there is a little
dis, abstraction because the nominees are
all in the city, while the Democrats are
dreadfully vexed with the Irish CUES
tom
The amount of patronage Mt the dis
POSI- of the Treasurer, and Clerk of the
Board, renders the election of those
officers a matter of vital interest, to the
newspaper publishers, and those who are
anxious to sustain a party press.
Recent developments have come to
light here, which awaken a suspicion that
there will either be trouble in the Demo-
cratic party, or some one will get badly
eucherod.
The bitter personal enmity between
the conductors of the Star and A. b.
HARRIS, is matter well known and I'M
d.rstood here. Mr.. Harris has sworn
reyerge upon the Star, since its violent
and bitter personal attacks on him last
spring. His time to square accounts with
the Star seems to have come.
It's well known that the Star was
strongly in favor of the nomination Of
J. r. IsMAN. of Hammond for Treasurer.
Mr.. Isman is a capable man and if he
had been nominated wonld have had Al
good chance of an election.
Now, Mr.. Harris, learning Of the
Stars preference for Mr.. Islnan, deter
mined to defeat him, and as he has great
influence with the Irish, he. through
them, controlled the Convention, and
secure the nomination of can
didates, who were in his interest.
have it on good authority that Mr..
Harris has said that if Peter McGregor is
elected Treasurer, not one cent Of the
printing he controls will go into the Star
office. No one who knows the feeling
entertained by Mr.. Harris and his friends
towards the Star, would believe that he
would support Treasurer who would
give his patronage to that offico. The
thing is reasonable and sure enough,
without Mr.. Harris admission.
The news from tho October elections
is rather discouraging to the Democrats
here. DIR. Hoyt's nomination was rati-
fed here few evenings ago. The
"Little Giants" were out for the first
time and made " good display. Trade
is brisk, the merchants are selling large
piles of goods and Hudson wears once
mora look of business activity and
good times" Yours P. B..

THE FIVE New TERRIToRIEs.-The
committees of Congress presented abill
providing for the organization of the
Territorial governments of Chippewa,
Arizona, Nevada, Dacotah and idaho
The House of Representatives laid the
matter upon the table. 1t is proposed
that the Territory of Chippewa shall be
bounded on the north by the British
possessions, on the west by Washington
Territory, and by Minnesota on the
east. The Territory of Arizona would
have the following boundaries: Utah on
the north,- Mexico on the south, and
Virgin river and California on the west.
The boundaries of Nevada would be on
the north by Oregon and the forty-third
parallel to Green river, and thence by
Green river to the northern boundary of
Utah to the one hundred and fourteenth
meridian of west longitude; thence by
the one hundred and fourteenth merid-
ian and Virgin river to California. Ida
no would be bounded on the north by
the forty y-third parallel of north latitude,
east by the one hundred and second
meridian of west longitude, and westby
Green river. The Territory comprises
$50, 900 square miles. One-half of this
is taken from Utah, and small portion
from Nebraska and New Mexico, the
remainder from Kansas. Dacotah would
be composed of part of the present
Territory of that name and a portion of
Nebraska, and bounded as follows: The
forty sixth meridian of north latitude
on the north; Minnesota and Iowa, to
the mouth of the Big Sioux, on the east;
on the south, following the Missouri
river, from the mouth of the Big Sioux
to the Niobrarah, and along the Mo
brarah to the one hundred and second
meridian of west longitude along the
one hundred and second meridian to the
forty-third parallel of north latitude;
thence along the forty third parallel to
the crest of the Rocky Mountains; and
on the west by Washington Territory.

which he used the following language:
Toyou that have daughters, l would
say-watch over them, or by and by you
will come to your friend, with a pitiful
face, saying-O, my poor daughter, she
is gore. Where? To Camp Floyd, to
the States, and to the devil. 0 my
daughter, that we have raised carefully,
and we thought she would live to honor
US; but, alas she is gone. If your
daughters associate with those that have
no interest in the truth, advise them to
discontinue their intimacy with such
persons, and enjoin upon them the ne
cessity of pursuing that course that will
preserve them in purity and keep them
in truth. If your daughter will go,
what then? Why, let her go; do not
break her neck to keep her, for she
would uot be in heaven if her neck was
broken

SOMEBODY'S BABY.

All, yesl every mortal was somebody's
baby once. As general rule, every one
has been cared for in infancy by mo-
ther-at least, some one took an interest
in its cunning little ways, and smiled at
its playful, half-unconscious gambols-
Even the hired nurses of charity have
hearts, and a baby finds its way to any
thing worthy of the designation.
Every one was once somebody baby.
How often l think of that, as l en-
counter in the street some poor, degra-
ded creature, from whom all decent
people shrink away.
That drunkard, ,reeling along, uttering
oaths in the insanity of intoxication, ly-
ing on the doorstep, groveling in the
becoming through the influence
of rum, beast III form in mind-that
man was somebody's baby!
That woman-ah. that fallen woman,
decked in the garb of fashion; but more
wretched than the poorest beggar who
retains her virtue-even that woman
was somebody's baby. Well, if that
somebody slumbers now beneath the
turf, she knows not of her daughters s
degradation!
This crawling besgar, using his per-
sonal and mental deformities as an ad-
vertisement to draw charity-this proud
child of poverty, dying by inches of
hunger and cold, yet hiding it to the
last-this toiling laborer, this white
headed coal HEAVIER, each and all were
somebody's baby once!
The hundreds who fall upon the bat
tle-feld-the victims of every tragedy
the murdered men found lying by the
wayside, and the men who killed them,
these are all somebody's babies
All! think of that Yes, and the
great men whom we applaud; the he
roes, the geniuses, the good. and the
noble hearted somebody owned each of
them, clasped him up to her bosom, fol-
ded him in her arms, wrapped him in
dainty blankets, said little prayers over
him before he could speak, was proud of
him, and pleased with him, before any
one else saw anything else in him but a
little pink faced baby.
Whenever | think of great thing.
look at great man, applaud noble
thought, gaze upon a great picture, or
listen to great piece of music, I think
to myself-"Ah! some ones heart on
earth or in heaven yearns for you who
did this thing!' Young or old, hand
some or ugly, rich Or poor, you are some
body's baby after all-somebody S crow
ing, smiling, darling baby, worth all the
world beside
Ponder upon it, friends; and when
YOU would be harsh or cruel to this man
or that woman, let the thought soften
your heart ard tongue, for surely you
could never break the heart of "Some-
body's Baby"
