The Massachusetts, Democracy

At the democratic state convention OF
Massachusetts, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted
ResoJced, That each state in the Union
is free, sovereign, and independent, and en-
titled to exercise and enjoy every power,
jurisdiction and right which is not expressly
delegated to the general government in the
constitution of the United States.
Resolved, That the burdens imposed up
on the people through an absurd system OF
taxation and q vast expenditure of money
for the support of a corrupt and extravagant
and to meet the expense of a large standing
army, demand our serious consideration and
speedy reform, that taxation may fall
equally on property and labor.
Resolred, That those members of con.
press who have passed laws outside of and
in defiance of the constitution for the pur.
pose of subordinating the civil to the mill
tary power have trifed with the safeguards
of Justice, liberty and peace, and are guilty
of perjury and usurpation.
f2esolred, That the real sympathy and
| regard of the republican party for the
soldiers who have so bravely fought the
| battles of the country are to be found in the
| action of the republican senate ofthe United
| States, which has refused to confirm the nomi
| nation of any soldier to Office howsoever faith
! full and brilliant his service in the Held, un
| less he voted the ticket of the party.
| Res0lred, That an increase of the STATE
/ debt, during the war, of upwards of $40,
/ 900. 900, and the wasteful extravaganza o
the party which has added to rather than di
| minished the debt, is alarming and demands
| change of administration in the state govern
| ment.
| ResoIced, That the democratic party il
now and always has been in favor of aiding
| and protecting the interests OF labor by an
| legitimate means, because it is the mail
basis of all material prosperity, and becaus
| the happiness and well-being of the grea
| mass of any nation must always depend up
on the prosperity of labor, therefore we ar
in favor of any legislative measures to er
able the laborer to secure the fair and gus
reward for his labor, and of the imrnediat
repeal of those unjust and unequal elias
laws whereby consumers and producers ar
alike defrauded by monopoly and specul'
ton. We are also in favor of system D
which men and women who labor may b
enabled to use and invest their earnings
cooperative effort, and obtain such a in;
and fir share of the profits of labor an
capital combined as will enable them to re:
uate and control the hours of their ow
labor, and such system should be encou
aged by all proper and necessary legisl
ton.
Resolred, That we distinctly reafir
and avow, without reservation, the tradition
+ al democratic principle of opposition to g
} legislation that infringes the private RICH
9 and liberties of the citizen; and We espe
n tally oppose the extraordinary and odio,
f method of the enforcement of the laws

$500. Mrs. Lincoln demanded 5000. But, whether
tbree or nine hundred, the claim was alike illegal,
and could not be paid. For this, however, Mrs.
lincoln quarreled with secretaries Smith and
Seward. This amount however, was absequsna!y
scandal which respect for Mr.. Lincoln msasurs-
ably suppressed Is
Mr.. Weed might have added the fact that
this refusal to approve OF bare'faeed
swindle cost Mr.. Smith his seat in the cabi-
net, Mr.. Lincoln so far sympathislng with
his wife in this extraordinary transaction.
Mrs. Lincoln was not only as unprincled
and avaricious as the late sale indicates, but
she was, and is, exceedingly ignorant and
stupid; and yet how are we to account tor the
control which she exercised over the domes-
tic life and public affairs of the lamented
president.
We remember how panied the loyal hearts
| of the Union were to learn that in the dark
est hour of our national pride, when our ar
mics were paralyzed by imbecility, and our
treasury was being robbed by dishonest
| agents, while the artillery of the enemy ech
oed through the very halls of the capital, 6
dancing, drinking entertainment was giver
at the White House.
This was shocking, but it became horri
BILE when the fact leaked out that, while thu
noise of revelry shook the time-honouret
mansion, in one of the upper chambers, {
child of the host and hostess lay dying of
fever, that had set in and alarmed the famil
physician, when the cards of invitation wer
being issued.
We turn away from the inner life of thi
White House, that was indeed a whitened seI
ulchre, in sorrow and disgust, and feel asha
med through all our being that the curtai
was ever lifted to let light in on its loatf
| some contents.

For Acts of Charity

and benevolenee Philadelphia stands prom
inent among her sister cities. During the
war she had her refreshment saloons where
thousands were fed while on their way to
the front, and now, in order that the good
work may be continued, it Is proposed to
provide for the Orphans of many of these
brave heroes who fell in defence of the stars
and stripes. For this purpose the Washing
ton Library Company of Philadelphia, was
organized in aid-of the Riverside Institute Of
New Jersey. Here the Orphans of Soldiers
and Sailors in all parts of the country will
be gratuitously educated and made usefn
members of society. The just and honora
BILE plan adopted for raising the necessary
funds for this charitable object has received
the endorsement of every one. Read ad

ting up the ropes. The fight commenced at
Flo'clock. Fitzgerald was the fhvor'te; has
friends offered to l. First blood and knock

rounds two to one were offered on Dorney.
Nineteen rounds were fought in 4S minutes.
Fitzgerald was terribly cut up and nd. porney
had hardly scratch. In the 18th round
the referees decided a foul against Dorney
which occasioned much dissatisfaction, Of
Dorney would have won the hight IN two OF

Another Radical Attack upon Mrs. Lincoln

Another Radical Attack upon Mrs. Lincoln
From the Mac a-cheek Press, don Piatt, radical)
It is difficult to conceive of anything
more humiliating to an American citizen
than the late conduct and correspondence of
Mrs. Lincoln, which the democratic press
has seized on and spread before the pubic,
with shameless avidty.
How this differs from the course pursued
by one of their most distinguished leaders,
Senator Bayard who had at one time given
him some accounts from the white house bya
republican committee of the seuate, with the
understanding that what he determined on
the committee would indorse. A few days
after to the establishment of the committee,
the eminent senator returned the accounts
marked approved" and when asked for an
explanation, said
"Gentemen, this woman is the wife of our
president. Any assault upon her IS an attack
upon ourselves. Let us say nothing about IT.
In the same spirit, the committee from the
house, appointed to investigate the condition
of the executive mansion, Immediately sub
sequent to the condition of Mr.. Lincoln,
suppressed the shameful facts that came to
its knowledge.
Now, however, the democratic press, in
hopes of damaging their opponents, drags
Mrs. Lincoln and her conduct before the
world.
Well, it is shameful enough, God knows,
but in what way it is to attach to the union
organization we are at luss to discover
That the advertisement, so widely made al
this woman's request, exhibits not only her
greed, but the corrupt condition of the gov
eminent in which she took so prominent 6
part, we are prepared to admit, and IN thi:
view, is damaging to the late administration
But the cry of ingratitude is too silly to-
serious refutation.
II was known to the wide circle that bust
ness or social life brought in contact will
the executive mansion, that its interior wa
as gross, vulgar and corrupt as it was posi-
BILE for any house to be and retain even
semblance of responsibility. The startled
public now reads its history in q forty thous
and dollar wardrobe, made up of shawls
laees and diamonds, the gifts of idea
friends, how "dear," the poor public i
now realizing in the millions that shameless
thieves have stolen and are yet stealing.
The saddest part of all this is the tarnisl
it casts upon the sainted memory of thu
martyr president How was IT possible tina
these gifts from 'dear friends" were paid 70
in lucrative offices, given under the sigma
ture OF Abraham Lincoln, without tha
shrewd man being aware of the infamou
character of the official, and the nature G
the bargain that brought him into office
This is a surmlse only, but Thurlow Wee
seems determined to bring the business
home to the late president. Commentin
upon the late conduct of Mrs. Lincoln, b
says:
"But We happen to know-the late Caleb 1
smith, then secretary of the interior, being GU

The eolored men in eleven southern states are
already enfranchised. How do you propose to
disfranchise them? Next fall they will vote 70"
president and vice president. Have you any
doubt as to which ticket they win support? The
ballot is in their hands and can never be taken
from them. Put that in your pipes and smoke
it-Chicago Tribune.
If the Ethopians in eleven southern states
are already in possession of the elective fran
chise, what is it that the Jacobin party is
making so much fuss about? Why does it
keep standing army in those states, at an
expense to the public treasury of hundreds
of millions every year ? Why does it KEEP
there vast horde of official barnacles, un
der the name of the freedmen's bureau, os
tensibly 10 ELL the stomachs and clothe the
nakedness of these enfranchised, free, and
independent Ethiopian American citizens,
and this also at the expense of the pubic
treasury? Why, if it ;, has accomplished its
pretended mission in that regard, do not its
members unite with the democracy IN de
manding that these vast expenditures OF the
public treasure on account of the Ethiopian
shall be stopped, in order that the public
burdens may be diminished, the public
debt paid, and the national credit once more
raised to its old democratic standard? Why
is it that Jacobins, instead of this, propose
to vote with the enfranchised Ethiopians tC
keep up the freedmens bureau, with it
swarm of tax-eating cormorants; to keep VI
standing army in the south. and to contin
ue the expenditure of $1S5,000,000 year
above the ordinary expenses of the govern
ment, all to protect the Ethiopian vote
and his guardian otfice-holder against tn
white mans unpleasant notions of econo
my?
What the democracy propose is, not &
disfranchise anybody entitled to enfranchis
ment, but to dismiss the office-holders, pu
the shoulder-strapped satraps to some usefu
employment, reduce the public expenditures
pay the public debt, and let Philippians, jus
ike white men, go to work and earn a
honest liviug.-C Chicago Times.

Occurrences, aud it will not be found so very

In ordinary times, the discovery that an
indefinite number of 5 900 bonds was IN

constituent. But this is not an ordinary

one in which, BY comparison with other op-
