What They Mean.

This misera whine that Rep ublcans set
up at party opposition, when they themselves
are the most intolerant parlsans, ever known,
is both cowardly and contemplate. If they
ask US not TO be partisans, let them cease to
be partsans themselves for they are in the
administration. They may cry "the country
and the Union" as long and as loudly as they
please. They mean consolidation, paper money
tariffs and meddling with other peoples busl-
ness. Democracy means strict Construction,
State rights, gold and not paper money, free
trade and mnding your own business. That
such policy will ultimately prevail We have
the Christian religion As to the anti slavery
branch of the Republican faith, the Democra
cy holds it unjust, unconstitutional, unwise
unnecessary and unchristian. The Democra.
cy holds that Christianity means self sacrifice,
not insisting on others making sacrifices.
e Who shall be the Democratic nomi-
nee for the Presidency To this inquiry the
Columbus (Ohio) Statesman thus sensibly
replies:
"In some quarters there appears to be dc.
sire to agita'e the Presidential questson, and
to put forward the names of individuals in
connection herewith We have been fire
quently asked who is the proper man to
nominate We have to reply that we are
not prepared to give an opinion. A few
months in these times work wonderful reyo
lutions in the public mind, and hence 10 may
be better not to be in hurry, to wait a lit
tie. Had We q special favorits for nomina-
ton, which we have not, we should eonsider
that We were not rendering him or the cause
any good service by putting him forward no W.
The public mind is unsettled, and politicians
and managers had better be patient for a
few months. The cause of Democracy, which
is the cause of the country, will lose nothing
by this course. At least such is our opinion.

Duty ON FoREIoN PAPER.-The Sec
rotary of tho Treasury has sent com
municaton to Congress answering its in
quiry, to the effect that official informa-
ton from the Custom Houses, at New
York and Boston, states that there has
been no importation of printing paper
since the act laying the present heavy
duty thereon was passed. A good argu-
mcnt why such duty should be greatly
reduced at the present extraordinary high
tariff of prices for that commodity.
Congress acting upon this information
has since considerably reduced the tariff,
thereby wisely encouraging and assisting
n more general dissemination of literature
and knowledge. ''

Close of Volume Four.

The present number closes the fourth
volume of The News. We propose 10
alter, temporarily perhaps, the shape Of
our paper little, curtailing the size a
triae, rather than adopt the too prevalent
style of doubling over advertisements, in
order to occupy as much space rs posi-
sible Of papers larger than the times or
purses Of the proprietors warrant.
Our personal contributions during the
year past, for the encouragement of enlist
ments, furnishing bountics to volunteers
and means of relief to their families, have
been so liberal as to cripple our resources;
but still we are prepared TO carry on our
business successfully and respectfully, and
arc ready TO make still further sacrifices
If required for the honor of the old flag
and for the unfolding of the Government
in every constitutional and legitimate
measure it may adopt in suppressing the
rebellion and restoring peace and pros
perity again to the nation. We shall ev-
er be found on the side of tho right, for
our country and the whole country, un-
waveringly and uniinchingly, and ever
ready to promote cvery good and noble
project, intellectual, moral aud religious.
1t will be our aim and study to make
The NeVs a good local family paper,
giving particularly all home news that
may interest our readers, and so much o!
general news besides ms the limits Of our
paper will warrant.
Our terms are still 81 per annum in
advance.
