Points OF Difference.

The Democratic party propose to let the
people govern themselves.
The radicals undertake to govern them
by martial law.
The Democracy are in favor of letting
the majority govern.
The Radicals, on the contrary, are in fa-
vor of the greatest good for the smallest
number.
The Democrats believe in economy and
| cheap government.
The Radicals act on the principal that a
National Debt is National Blessing.
party. Its great leader, Andrew jackson,
said ''The Union must and shall be pre-
served"
The Radical doctrine was on the other
hand, that the "Union is league with
death and covenant with hell" (See
Garrison
The Democratic party is the party of
the Constitution.
Radical leaders have pronounced that
Constitution an atrocious bargain.
The Democratic policy aims to encour-
age American industry.
The Radical policy is to crush out Amer
lean industry, and to build up that of for
eign nations. (See how they have thrown
the great shi p building interest, for example,
into European hands.
The democracy believe in the sovereign
ty of the ballot box.
Bullets, not Ballots, are the mainstay of
the Radicals.
Under Democratic administration the
country alway had peace
Under Radical administrations the coun-
try always has had war.
Under Democratic administration the
national debt, at the worst of times, was
less than hundred millions of dollars.
Under Radical administration it has run
up to thousands of Millions.
The Democracy always gave us gold and
silver currency.
The Radicals have given us nothing but
rags.
An American dollar, under democratic
management, was good for dollar all the
world over.
Under Radical fnancierins, it is good
for dollar nowhere-not even at home.
When the Democratic party ruled the
country, the laws were equal and exact.
The Radicals, on the contrary, have
one set of laws for the rich and one for
the poor-with
High Tariffs and Big Bounties for the
Puritan Oligarchy Of New England.

ters. l won't hear of any compromise.
If you wish, will marry you; and l
promise you l will make your marriage so
hot' for you that you will wish yourself
dead or in the state prison as happy

ing compelled to choose between marrying
a woman with bad temper (the existence
of which he discovered when too late) and
incurrlng an action for breach Of promise
of marriage, one hardly knows which Of
the two evils is the greater. There is al
ways this to be said on behalf of the &C.
ton that, while its immediate effects are
very sore indeed and bitter to be borne,
they are got over in time while an evil
tempered wife sticks to you with the per-
tinacity of devil-fish. If the petty tor.
ments of thirty years living with such a
woman be added up, they will form an
amount of agony compared with which
the shame and ridicule of an action for
breach of promise are very little indeed.
In either case, we heartily commiserate
the victim. It is dificelt to say
how much of this punishment he de-
serves in respect of the want

cry Sunday morning to be delivered there

Federal Bonds.
Some radicals deny that their platform
looks at the redemption of 500 bonds in
gold. The law authorizing their issue re-
quires gold on the accruing interest, but
here is what the Register, the Capitol organ
of radicalism says to the people:
The Copperhead National Convention
which assembled in New York on the 4th
of July, adopted a resolution that all Federal
obligations for the payment of money
which do not declare upon their face that
they are payable in coin, shall be paid in
greenbacks. OF course the greenbacks
themselves are Federal obligations for the
payment OF money as much as bonds are,
and when they shall be paid in coin. But
the bulk of the Indebtedness of the Govern
ment is in the form of interest bearing
bonds known as e-Twenties' e.,
bonds maturing in twenty years from the
date of their issue, but which may, at the
option of the government. be paid in five
years. The bill authorizing their first is
sue was introduced into the House of Rep
resentatives on the 25th of January, 1862,
by Hon. Il. G. Spaulding of Erie Co., N. Y.
i uc sitic VI lhe Oiit lS COMPREHENSIVE III
dex of its purpose, viz, An Act to author
ize the issue of United States Notes and
for the redemption or funding thereof, and
for funding the floating debt Of the United
States" The language of the bill relating
to the payment of the principal of the
bonds, when they should mature, was
precisely like that under which all the
bonded indebtedness of the Government
had been paid, and payment had nerer been
tendered in anything else thai, gold or silrer
During the consideration of tins bill in the
sessions of the Committee of Ways and
Means, not lisp was uttered in favor of
paving the principal of the bonds in =! paper
1t is easy enough to show that simply
on the score of financial policy, the imme-
diate redemption of the ive-twenty bonds
in greenbacks even though it could be
accomplished without dishonor, would
result in commercial and industrial ruin
But We prefer to place this question on the
broad basis of the Faith of the General
Government to its creditors, and on this
issue no man need fear to stand up in de-
fense of the National Republican Platform
in the face of the whole world.

The Albany Evening Journal says OF
the proposition to deprive the Southern
States of elections by throwing the choice
of electors into the Legislatures:
''The revival Of the system would be a
step backward in civil government, and
can only be thoughtof as temporary expe-
dent. The choice of electors as proposed,
if determined upon, can only be justified
on the ground Of the ''highest public ne
cessity." Here the Temporary expedient'
is one to elect Grant and the ''highest pub
lie necessity" is the old cry Of military
necessity" revived.

Learn q Trade.
Stephen Griard had favorite clerk, and
he always said he meant to do we'll by
Ben Lippencctt. So, when Ben got to be
twenty-one, he expected to hear the "gov-
ernor' say something of his future pros
poets, and perhaps lend helping hand in
starting sim in the world. But the old
fox carefully avoided the subject. Ben
mustered courage.
II suppose am free, sir, said he, "and
thought would say something as to my
future course. What do you think had
better do?''
"Yes yes, l know you are," said the
millionaire: ''and my advice is that you
go and learn the ceoper's trade" ..
The piece of advice nearly froze Ben
out but recovering his equilibrium, he
said if Mr.. Griard was in earnest, he would
do so. 4
81 am in earnest" %
Ben forthwith sought the cooper in
Spring Garden, became an apprentice, and
in due time could make as good barrel
as the best. He announced to old Stephen
that he had graduated and was ready to
set MP in business The old man seemed
gratifed, and forthwith ordered three of
the best barrels he could turn out. Ben
did his prettiest and wheeled them up to
the counting room. Mr.. Grirad pronoun-
ced them first rate, and demanded the
price.
"One dollar" said Ben "is cheap as
can live by"
"Cheap enough, sir. Make out your

The bill was made out, and old Stephen
settled it with check for $4,000, which

EIREMEN'S MEETING.

In obedience to call Of the chief en-
gineer the several fire companies met il

Monday. Nov. %, at p. m, and was or
ganized by Chief Engineer Haslanger
taking the chair, and NJ 4. o. Packard
being appointed secretary.
The chief engineer stated that the OBJ
ject of the meeting was to consider the

to said board appointing the officers of said
fire companies, and directing how the en-
CINE and other property of the companies
should be taken care of, and by request

1t was thereupon, on motion, unani-
mously resolved by the fire department,

form the board of trustees that the fire
department will recognize no officers OF
the respective companies appointed by
thOm, except Tie chief engineer, and him
only to be appointed by said board upon

clared that the fire department expect and
demand that the beard Of trustees keep
the engine and other property of the re-
spective companies in complete order, at

ny, then proposed the following resolution,

ly adopted:
"Rcso7vea. That it is the unanimous
opinion of the fire department, that the Of
fcers composing the present board of
trustees of the corporate town of Plvm-
outh are incapable of performing the du-
tuies Of the office, and they, as body, are
hereby requested to resign and make room
for men of more enlarged ideas. who will
see that justice is done to the fire depart
ment"
1t was further ordered that the pro-
ceedngs of the convention be published

THE BOARD or I'RL ,STEE.S AND
TIE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

For some time past there has not been
that harmony existing between the board
of trustees and the fire department that
should characterize the action Of two of
the most important branches Of Our corpo-
rate government.
Without attempting to give any state
inert of the origin of the difficulties now
existing, we will merely relate what has
occurred within the past few days.
1t may, however, not be out of place to
state that the immediate cause of the ex-
lsting trouble is difference Of opinion
as to what are the duties of fireman, the
trustees holding that it is the duty of tho
fremen to keep their apparatus in good
working order, excepting repairs, while
the fremeu contend that cleaning the en-
CINE and other apparatus Of the fire de-
partment is no part of their duty, but
should be done by hired help, and paid
for by The corporation.
On the evening of the 18th, the board
of trustees, in regular session, passed an
order, unanimously, we believe, directing
that after the expiration of the term for
which the present officers Of the fire de-
partment were elected, the board of trust
ees will fill their places by appointment;
and that thereafter all officers of the fire
department shall be appointed by said
board of trustees. The chief engineer
was directed to call a meeting of all the
fire companies, and notify them of the ac-
ton of the board. The meeting was ap-
pointed tor last. Monday evening, and
it was very lively one, as may be
iDf Led from the report which we publish
