WHAT BENEFIT CAN ARISE FROM
A CHANGE OF POLICY

If the Democratic party succeeds at
the coming election the result will be an
entire change in the policy of the Govern
ment The question for voters to con,
slider is-what change can there be which
will benefit the nation or the people gen
elally? The present condition of the
country is most favorable business is
everywhere prosperous LABOR is in de
mand; industrial, commercial and agricul-
tural pursuits hJurish confidence is re-
stored our population and wealth are
rapidly increasing, and general prosperity
and happiness prevail. The Republican
party has shown itself to be the real
friend Of The people, for, by its Homestead
Law, every man can secure him a good
home, and as thousands have availcd
themselves of the opportunity who would
otherwise have to depend on day labor for
support, and as thousands of others are
employed on the Pacific road and other
public enterprises of the country, there is
demand for labor created which enables
every man to obtain lucrative employ
ment, while at the same time capital finds
abundant opportunity for profitable in
vestment. IN this respect the situation
of affairs could not possibly be improved.
The policy of the Republican party
toward the Rebel States has been wise,
just and generous, aud altogether prefer
able to that Of the other party. The prin,
cipal difference between the two, is that
the one would exclude from participation
in political affairs, the men who inaugur-
ated and controlled the Rebellion, leaving
all others to have q voice in the Govern
ment the same as before. The other
policy is to allow all, including the same
men who caused all our troubles before,
and whose hearts are yet hot with trea-
son, to manage affairs as they should see
tit and without restraint from the general
The inevitable result of
this policy would be continuance if the
disturbed state of affairs if not
renewal of war. The result of the 9th
or policy will be that all disturbances
will be quoted upon the defeat of the
Democratic party, industry will be en-
outraged and prosperity restored to the !

A DEMOCRATIC CARpET.BAGGER.

Park n. Waterbury, the Democratic
Clerk of the Court, and candidate for re
election, is FORMULATING the county,
manufacturing Democratic votes by means
OF naturalization. During all this time
his Office in Jefferson is closed, and per-
sons who go there for the transaction of
business, are disappointed in finding no
one In the Office. It would seem that
MIR, Waterbury might at least leave a
Deputy there to represent him, while alb
sent o. his carpet bag mission.
Mr.. Waterbury was here last week en-
gagged in this business All presenting
themselves, aOho ,couid agree to uote the
Democratic ticket, were furnished with
their papers free of charge; all others
were required to pay the customary fee.
We apprehend that the free and intelii-
gent electors Of Jefferson County will
dispense with the services of such clerk
as this Let US have an honest man ID
his place, who will not prostitute the
peoples Offices to base partisan or person
al uses

HON. 3. T. HOPKINS.

a correspondent of the Madison Jour-
nal, writing from W ashing on, we'll says:
Benjamin L. Hopkins, of Madison, e.
preventative Of the second District, has
been renominated as the Republican can
dIdate. lie was one of the founders OF
the Republican party in the year 1854,
and has ever since remained true and
faithful to his principles. AS former
member Of the Assembly, and Senate OF
the Wisconsin Legislature, he has acquir-
ed great skill in parliamentary tacti s.
which he displayed with great success in
Congress. In the House of Representa-
tives he Wasa member of the Important
Committee on Public Lands in whic he
reported three bills of especial conse
quence to the House, viz: l. A bill by
which the islands in the Wisconsin river
and the djacent islands in the MISSISSIPPI
pi ri er were coded to the State of Wis
consin. This bill passed the House aad
is of great Importance, inasmuch as by
the same the State becomes the owner OF
one million acres of land, the proceeds Of
which are allotted to the school fund
2. A further bill concerning the future
rants Of public lands to aid in the con-
struction of railroads, which prevents
railroad companies from speculatine in
lands to the injury of settlers, as "a fix d
government price is established, at wi ich
the lands are to be sold. 3 A further
bill secures TO the State donation of
lands to aid in the construction of rail
roads. All these bills passed the House
through the energy and clearn IS of arsu-
mept exhibi ed by Mr.. Hopkins. Tie
State of Wisconsin is therefore indebted
to Mr.. Hopkins for his s0licitude and
fidelity IN taking care Of the true inter
est Of the State. 3. f. Hopkins was
likewise member of the Committee on
Enrolled Bills.

HON. B. F. HOPKINS.

We are not surprised to hear that ma
ny Democrats intend to vote for Dir. Hop.
kins this fall, for there is every reason
why they should do So Though Mr..
Hopkins has always been firm and con-
sistent Republican, yet he has shown
himself to be no mere partisan, and in
Congress he has cared for the interests Of
all his constituents alike, irrespective of
p'rty. No Democratic Congressman
could have done more for the Democrats
Of this district than he has done, nor in
fact so much, for he is an infuentis
member Of the party in power and his
wishes and suggestions receive the atten-
ton and respect of his associates to far
greater extent than if he was one of the
opposition.
Mr. Hopkins record in Congress COM
mends itself especially to our foreign born
citizens, for no member was more active
and earnest than he in securing the pas
sage of the Protection Bill. which de-
clares that our naturalized citizens shall
receive the same protection while abroad
as is accorded to the native. born. For
this inestimable service he is entitled to
the gratitude of all the foreign born citi-
zers of this district.
On every occasion Mr.. Hopkins was
the earnest advocate of economy and re-
trenchment in the management of nation
al affairs. When it was proposed to give
large island in the bay Of San Francis
co, which is now occupied by forts and
used for government purposes, to the Pa
cl6c Railroad Company, Mr.. Hopkins
led the opposition to the bill and secured
it's defeat. Though the Pacific Railroad
is most commemorate object for Gov
eminent patronage, he felt, in view Of the
enormous loans already granted TO it, and
also In view OF the fast that the island
would be worth millions of dollars to the
country in time, besides being almost in
dispensable for purposes of defense, that
no consideration would warrant its sur.
render to private parties. His &C.
ton in this case undoubtedly receives the
unanimous approval Of his constituents
He was also one of the most active in Sc
curing the passage of the Funding Bill
of last session, which, if ii had not been
prevented by the President from becom.
ing law, would to-day have been in
operation, reducing our whole indebted
ness to a single, long loan at the rae of
four and a half per cent. interest, where
by millions would have been saved to the
country annually.
Mr.. Hopkins record in Congress
shows great wisdom, energy and
efficiency; he has cared for the in
terests of his constituents and made the
influence of the Second District felt to a
greater degree than ever before. How
much better to vote for him than for his
opponent, who is man of only moderate
ability and without reputation, influence
or the requisite qualifications for the
office. A vote for him falls doubly dead
for he is candidate who is not only in
a hopeless minority here, but who if by
any chance be could possibly be elected,
would 60 to Congress to be in hopele IS
minority there, while vote for Hopki rs
would live and be represented in all
the legislation Of the Government
