A FRIEND OF TEMpERANcE.
High Rents will drive People ouf n,


Who's to blame for it, Mr.. Trewel? Not the
rich landlord, to be sure! Oh no,-he must pay
the highest price for lumber and all other
building material and also three to five dollars
day for labor and, from two to three per cent
taxes, one per cent. insurance, and the money
invested is worth 7-30 sure. Now add it all
together, and it will foot up about twelve per
cent A building that cost $4,000 (twiee the
cost of five years ago) ought to let for $1,000,
to pay as well as 7730s, and every man has Just
as good right to get the best price for his mon
ey, as for his labor; so you see, Mr. Trowel,
if by a combination of the carpenters, ma
sons and painters, wages are more than doub-
led, and land holders are obliged to build.
whether or NJ" (Which is not exactly the case
this year, there seems to be reason for believ-
ing, as many do, that Grades unions" must
share part of the blame, not only for keeping
up rents but for the high prices of the naces-
saries of life as well as everything else. The
grocer must pay three fold more for his rent
than formerly, and consequently charge more
for his commodities, or move cut of tow,
where he he can live cheaper! and SO with
every other branch of trade and all profes.

Because at the recent municipal elections in
Troy, Lansinburg and Rochester, owing to
purely local causes, the Republican strength
was divided and the Democrats obtained the
plurality of the votes, the N. Y. World claims
great reaction in public sentiment in favor of
its party. "The tide is turning" it eXclaims,
and though the victories "are not so complete
as we wish they were, they show that the peo-
pie are beginning to realize the necessity of
stemming the torrent of Radicalism which has
engulfed Congress and threatens to carry the
the nation along with it," ~ a.f
~ After explaining the causes of these local re-
actions, and directing the Worlds attention to
Bangor, Portland and the charter elections in
this State, and of a republican triumph in
Newport, Kentucky, and the election of a
Republican Mayor in that dark corner of
Democrat Egypt-CariO, Ill, the N. Y. Times
sensbly remarks ,Ssssss,
In truth, there is no chance ofsuccess for the
Democratic party in the North until it cast
of its Copperhead leaders and constructs q
platform in harmony with the loyal resolves
and aspirations Of the American people. Con-
necticut and New-Hampshire have furnished
illustrations of the fact that the Democratic or
ganization is still controlled by men who SYM
pathized with the rebels, and now oppose the i'm
position of conditio upon the rebel States.
The Kentucky Democrats meeting in Conven-
tional at Frankfort, made no secret of their pur-
poses and afnnities. They singled out for honor
prominent and avowedly unrepentant rebels,
and their position is equivalent to an assertion
OF the right ofthe excluded States to resume
at once, and without conditions or qualifica-
tions of any Kind, their places in Congress.
The Kentucky Democrats and the Democrats
Of Connecticut and Hampshire, as well as
the New-York admirers ofthe World, belong
to the same organization. Their principles
are identical. Their policy is the same And
while these things continue they will find their
efforts to turn the tide of Northern opinion
Intellectual. The Presidents veto message on
the Military Government Bill may be the ex-
cellent campaign document which the World
declares it to be. But dozen messages will
not convince the Union majority of the ma
ton that the Democratic Party may be safely
trusted, in view of recent Democratic speeches
and platforms, and especially in view of the
Frankfort demonstration in support of treason

the work of an incendiary. So solid was the

the fire had not been quenched. Mr. Kicker
had no insurance on the property.

The Daily Press appeared yesterday morning In an
enlarged form. 1t IS now fully equal in size to any
daily paper in New England. In the arrangement
OF reading matter it has returned to the original sye
which we think quite an Improvement in its appear
ance.
Its news is judciously and carefully selected and
general culture and literary taste characterzes its
contents. As a good family newspaper il has no an
perior; and while Mr.. Lincoln occupies the city ed
itors chair there will be no lack of local news as il
is generally aeknowledgedn that department he has
no equal in the State.
. The enlargement argues a prosperous business, at
least for ur contemporary, and We hope il will never
be found necessary to curtai the dimensions of this
enterprisng and respectable sheet.
