the Democracy. 1t gives one the undi-

West. Its weekly circulation is over

in the paper shows how elevated is the
Democratic standard Of taste and pa

Governor John A. Andrew.

The telegraph yesterday announced
/ the sudden death Of Ex-Governor JOHN
/ A, ANDREW of Massachusetts. It has
! been permitted to few men in the Ma
ton to render the country such signal
4 service, and to secure so firm a hold
upon the affection of the people of his
own State, and the confidence of the
/ entire country, as have been rendered
and secured by the itlustriOus man who
has passed away. A lawyer of great
ability and equal integrity ; states
man of broad views and progressive
aims a radical without a touch of IA
naticism; a conservative who never
/ looked backward, he was one of those
men whom the Republic could least
afford to spare at this criciCal period of
its history.
Governor Andrew has fallen in the
ipeness and strength Of manhood
having only reached his forty-niuth
year. He was a native Of the State of
Maine, was educated at BOWdOiu, and
began his professional life in Boston.
He early ranked among the first law
yers of New England, but did not en-
ter public or official life until his forty
first year, when as a representative Of
the auti-slavery men of Boston he was
chosen to the Legislature of his State,
Here he made his mark, and in 1860 he
was nominated and elected Governor
BY the Repu blicans Of Massachusetts.
Chief Magistracy Of his noble State, and
among the number Of "War Governors"
Of Northern States, whose administra-
tions are a part Of history, and whose
names are indissolubly linked with the
record Of those heroic years, the name
Of John A. Andrew is pre-eminent.
His labOrs were unceasing, his vigilance
constant, his patriotism unbOunded.
In Massachusetts, organizing eQuipping
ana forwarding troops; at Washington,
the friend and trusted counsellor Of
President and Congress at the front,
caring for and encouraging the soldiers
of his own and other Sbates-his very
name was a tower of strength, and his
presence an inspiring power. He was
civilian hero Of the war.
At the end of the war, Governor An
drew was urged to become a candidate
for Congress, the member from his Dis
trict offering to withdraw if he would
accept the place. He replied that be
was ''toO poor to go to Congress" j" and
declined the honor. Among those on
whom the eyes Of the nation have been
turned as worthy and probable candi-
dates for the second office in the gift
of the people, Governor Andrew was
probably most prominent ald most de-
serving. BE was a warm hearted
Christian gentleman, an affectionate
husband and father, and one of the
most genial Of friends. If we were to
point the youth Of the nation to an e1c-
ample after which to shape their lives,
we should say, study the life and labors
of John Albion Andrew, of Massachu-
setts.-iSd7ldEtShy Register.

A STORY WITH A MORAL Conngc-
ticut exchange tells the following story
Of n boy who was sent from GEotcn,
Connecticut, to New London, one day
last summer, with a bag Of green corn.
The boy was gone all day, and returned
with the bag unopened which he dump
ed on the floor, saying
"There Is your corn 80 and sell it :
7 can't"
"Sold any2n
"No I've been all over London with
&c, and nobody said anything ccuccrn-
ing green corn. Two or three Fellows
asked me what had en- my bag, and i
told them It was none OF their business
what 30 was I"
The boy is not unlike hundreds of
merchants, who viii promptly call him
q fool for not telling what be had % sell.
They are actually doing the same thing
on q much lerger scale than did that
boy, by not advertising their business
In the papers.

This was not answered, but was fol-

How IT WAS DoNE.-The New York
Tribune asserted on Tuesday morning
that twenty thousand names had been
Illegally placed on the registration of
that city and Brooklyn; chiefly by
means OF fraudulent naturalization pa
pers. This was effected by furnishing
the Michael O'Briens, and other persons
just stepped off from an emigrant ves-
sci, with their papers. A sharp fellow
goes into court, gives his name as Mich
ael O'Brien, sWears that he has been
here five years and has declared his In
tentions, which is true, gets a friend to
swear that he has a good moral charac-
ter, which is more doubtful, takes his pa
pers, walks out of court and hands
them to the real O'Brien, an American
of tWentY-fOur hours standing. The
man in court has committed no perjury,
and, except in giving false name, has
told no lies. But one more voter than
there should be is on the registry list,
and voted on Tuesday. This is called
''she great Democratic reaction"

ToUOHING.-A touching instance Of
connubial affection and devotion occur
red not long since in New Hampshire.
An aged couple, who during half q CEN
tury Of married life had wrangled and
QUarreled with each other, were In al
probability soon to be separated. The
old husband was taken sick, and sup
posed to be near his end. The old
spouse came to his bedside, and amer
carefully examining and taking stock
Of his condition, exclaimed:
"Wy, daddy, your feet are cold, and
your hands are cold, and your nose ia
cold 20
"Wa'al let 'em be cold %

The Late Elections and 'c1fy Policy.

If Presi dent johnson chooses to re-
gard the vote as an Endorsement Of his
policy, we congratulate him on his sue
cess. 1t reminds us of the lpOOr damsel
who sold all her dresses, underclOthing,
and trinkets, to buy lottery tickets,
without drawing q single prize, and
finally having nothing else to sell, dis
posed of her hair and drew-a comb :
President Johnson's Endorsement now
that his policy Is dead and buried, is
like pOsthumOus glory, or November
shad, or death-bed repentance, or the
foolish virgins, or McClellan's rein
forcements, or any other Of the ten
thousand good things that have come
at last but come too late. My Policy
was laid out very neatly long ago.
Some Dallid flowers decxed its placid

capacity. And thereupOn it was lowered

the Democratic party choose to go to the
expense of carving costly epltaph up
or its tom bstone, we honor their ten

bereavement.

the President an animated bust" we
hone he will recover from the indul-
uence without permanent injury. But
Reconstruction, on the basis enacted

we're willing the Democratic Lazarus

the majority Of power in every Northern
state are still ours. Ofthe ten Southern

is assured beyond reasonable doubt.
Let the Democrats rejoice and burn

do nobody any harm.--1 Tribune.

three and a half votes, 10 which they
