try-examine the aim and tendency Of
legislation under democratic guidance and
you will see the verifcation of this state
ment. It has always been ready to raise
its voice against the attempts of wealth
andaristocracy to humiliate labor, howev-
er insiduous the effort might be. On this
subject, however, we will treat more at
large on some future occasion. Another
thing must appear in bold relief to any
sane man. In California an election is
to take place the coming season. Who
favors Coolie labor in that State? What
party opposes it? What will be the effect
upon those who depend upon their indus
try for their daily sustenance, should
Monaghan labor be introduced? Now,
where, we ask in all reason, is the con-
sistency in the party which favors this
immigration of the Asiatic to compete
with white labor. The same party favor
excessive duties in order to prevent COM
petition with our home manufacturing
establishments. Why not also discour-
age this importation of the Chinese, to
give our own industry employment? The
reason is simple and obvious. 1t is nurs-
ing capital in the one case, and crusade
against labor in the other-and unmis-
takebly shows the unsoundness of princi-
pies advocated, endorsed and enforced
by the Union party. 1t shows that the
tendency is the feeding, nursing, and up
building of monopoly, consolidation and
aristocracy, and the humiliation and deg
radiation of all there is of true wealth in
the country. Sensible and intelligent
men know what we utter upon this point
is the truth. There can be no mistake
about it Let those who are called upon
to exercise the elective franchise, look
over the field in candor and honesty, and
be governed accordingly, and we have
no fear that the result will be the de-
thronement ofthe present dominant party
wherever it controls, and the success of
the only party true to republican princi-
pies.

Which Party Shall We Trust ?

In the Gays of,tneglory o1tne hepuDllc,
how common was it hear the expression
"the democratic party is emphatically
the working mans party" Whatever
of truth there was in the declaration in
those days, is singularly true to-day. In
looking over the declarations of principles
in the various platforms of the party, the
truth of the enunciation isapparent. We
recollact when we were quite boy, with
what vindictiveness the democracy were
assailed through the press, and on the
stump,for this supposed catch-vote policy.
y It was hard task then as it is now, to
convince the working man that the dec-
lsration was the trick of the demagogue
and politician. The successive elections
demonstrated the fact that they believed
in the honestly conceived and boldly
spoken measures calculated to protect the
interests of the toiling masses, the bone,
sinew and dependence of the country.
They believed the declaration also be-
cause the opposing political organization
advocated measures calculated to increase
their expenditures, without correspond.
ing increase Of wages. Such was the ev-
ident result of that system of high pro-
tective tariff. By this system, it was
proposed to discourage, if not entirely
prohibit the importation Of foreign manu-
features, by imposing such an excessive
duty that the foreign importer could not
successfully compete with the maufactur-
ing mouopolies of New England. The
result could easily be foreseen. The gov
eminent suffered great loss by way of
revenue, while the working man was
compelled to pay exorbitant rates for ev-
cry thing necessary for himself or his
family's comfort. The experience of
all must be, that capitalists need no pro-
lection of this nature, and where such
duty is imposed, it can only result favor
ably to him who needs it not and to the
detriment of him who needs it most. Leg
islation in its effects should operate upon
all classes alike. There should be no
privileged or classed legislation to the
benefit of the few and to the detriment
of the many; of this legislation, opposed
as it has been, from principle, by the
democracy, are those measures, within
the past six years, which have composed
the so-called Union party of bondholders,
capitalists, manufacturing monopolies,
shoddy contractors, and political parti-
Fans, controlled entirely by self interest
without regard to propriety and right.
The Union party seek collision be-
tween capital and labor. That party
endeayors to keep up that conflict. On
the other hand, the Democratic party
always appears ss the champion of labor.

BS- Read the extracts from the speech of
Senator Doolittle on our first page. How
any one can, with an unbiased mind, fail to
be convinced of the correctness of the
main positions of Mr.. Doolittle, we cannot
conceive. The clear manly argument, and
irresistible conclusions place their author
without any other effort on his part, among
the great Statesmen Of the age. The mod
esty of the speech is leading Characteristic.
We consider such speeches better calculated
to reach the public mind, than those of a
bombastic style. The language is just such
as might have been expected from the high
toned gentleman, the scholar and the States
man.

@ DUBLIN, Ireland March 20 1857.
II suppose you have heard of the rising
and falling Of the Fenians in ireland. 1t was
the most complete failure l ever heard of,
| think it best it was continued no longer, for
war in this country means starvation for the
poor classes. and besides, there is no one of
property or of any influence whatever going
to connect themselves with such an affair,
when they know there is no chance for sue
cess. | have studied the whole thing over
and have formed the conclusion that it is in
sane to attempt to inaugurate war without
provisions, arms, munitions and discipline.
There has been no organized army here; moth
ing but mobs. Such can never meet with
any success. 1t takes drilled troops to COM
pete with drilled troops, and these the Feni-
ans have not, nor can they organize and drill
without being informed on. The Irish here
and those in the United States are two diff
erent people. The Irish here have everything
to lose in case of war, while those in Amer
lea lose nothing.
ii hope you may never see poverty as it
is here The heart is hard that would not
bleed to see women and children wandering
bare-footed through the snow, from door to
uooI ASKING ior preau' OUCH IL Inc result
of Fenian uprising.
II can go no where without being ques-
toned about my business, who 1 am, ETC.,
and it is any thing but pleasant to have the
gloomy prison of Mount Joy looking a fell
low in the face.
The country is growing quiet The win
ter has been very severe"

was addressed by Representative Kelly
of Pa, and Hawlin and Conway of New
York. Over five thousand persons we're
present. Various negro ward clubs
marched to the meeting, and the process
sion was headed by music and the carry
ing of banners and transparencies. No
disturbance occurred until midnight,
when the negroes stopped the cars on St.
Charles street, and cleared it of white
occupants, by showing clubs through the
windows after taking possession they
compelled the driver to 60 ahead. There
is talk of running Mr.. johnson, a
prominent and extremely popular negro,

From the Salt Lake vedette of Nav IL

From the Salt Lake yedette of May IA.
BY special dispatch received yesterday at
the Office of Wells Fargo & Co., we learn
that Rock Creek station, which is about one
hundred and seventy-fve miles west of Den
yer, was burned to the ground on Sunday
last. The Indians are rampant, and are act.
ing in concert on the road between Big Lar
annie and Elk Mountain. A military force
has been ordered from Forts Bridger and
Saunders to the point of difficulty, and Wells
Fargo Il Co. have issued orders that all the
civil forces under their control, with all the
volunteers that can be obtained, to immedi-
ately repair to the scene of warfare and aid
in the protection of the route. Passengers
on the east and west end ofthe road, where
the Indians seem to hold sway, will remain
until assistance reaches them, and it is sup
posed that their detention will only last for
day or two. 1t seems in this instance
that the Government having failed in its du-
ty to protect travellers, the Company have
assumed that duty themselves.

Louisa Walters rs. James Il. Walters Pc
tition for AlmOny.-At the last term OF
this court a motion was made by the Plain
tin for the allowance of alimouy pending
the suit, and by consent of counsel was
submitted to His Honor Judge Smith, to
be heard and determined during the vaca-
ton on the notice, ailidaVitS and testimony
produced by the parties. The Judge, hay-
ing held the same under adyiscment since
that time, has to-day given the following
opinion i'm writing: The grounds of this
application for alimony, as averred in the
petition. is: that the defendant, regardless
of his marital duties toward the plaintiff.
willfully abandoned her without good
cause therefor, and has since wholly re-
fused TO provide for her support. This
abandonment is alleged to have taken place
about the 18th of December. 1866.
What the true merits of this case may be,
ms they may be developed by the testimony
on the final hearing, it is not for me now to
say. Whether the husband abandoned the
wife without good cause, or whether the
wife absented herself from the home pro-
vded for her by her husband, without good
cause, is to say the least, left somewhat in
doubt, from the er parte atiidavits submitted
to me in the hearing of this motion. | do
not now feel called upon to determine the
merits of the case; that question must,
necessarily, be reserved for the final hear
ing. 4 separation has taken place between
the parties; this wife is left dependent upon
the bounty of her friend; She must be
maintained in some legal mode by some
body she has filed her petition for alimony
and now asks for a temporary allowance,
pending the suit. The grounds of sucl
allowance may be not only for her support
and maintenance proper pending the suit
but also to furnish her with means to enable
her to employ Counsel and procure testi-
mOny in proper and legal mode, thereby
ultimately to establish her right, If sucl
right really exists, TO recover alimony
Unless, therefore, IL is clearly established
by the testimony that she has no cause o
action, that she is mantestly in the wrong
and the husband in the right, precedent
and uniform practice it seems TO me would
require in this stage of the case an ordel
making temporary allowance What dDlOuR
shOnld be allowed in this case, is with me
matter of some doubt. The matters TO b'
considered are the condition of the wife
and the circumstances and condition in lif,
of the husband. Taking these into consid
Grafton, and also the length of time neces
sarily intervening between the separation
of the parties and the next regular term o
the Court of Common Pleas in Montgomery
County. ! have come to the conclusion
that an allowance at this term, of two hun
dred dollars, would not be unreasonable
The following order, therefore, Is To be en-
tered as in vacation:
The Court ordered that the defendant

of February, 1867, for the support of hi
