New England Getting Alarmed.

The immense emigration to the West and the
rapidly augmenting population of the States
ofthe Pacific from the importation of Chinese,
together with the significant movements in
the South looking to the introduction of
Chinese OF coolie labor in that section,
in large mum bers, have awakened
considerable alarm among New England
politicians in regard to the tenure of their
hold upon the supremacy of the national
government. The papers arc beginning to
publish statistics showing how the New Eng
land States are losing ground in the matter
of the apportionment for members of Con.
gress, and how their strength is gradually
receding while that of the West is rapidly
increasing. 1t is even proposed to cut Mas
sachusetts in twain and erect q new State
out of the western counties. 1t is also pro-
posed to make two new States out of Maine.
This will give New England six additional
members in the United States Senate and
number of members of the lower House. It
is probable other Eastern States that can be
gerrylnandered to advantage will also be
carved I'D into convenient State communi-
ties handy to handle and small enough to
clap into the breeches pocket of any pigmy
politician Now England may desire TO inject
into the councils of the nation. We do not
learn that the mighty domain of the great
State of Rhode Island-which, it has been
said,, is not broad enough in come parts to
afford the requisite space of twelve PAGES on
which to fight duel according to the code
will come under the carving knife of the
radical politicians of her larger sisters. But
while Little Rhody may be suffered to re-
main intact there is no mistaking the fact
that the New England politicians are becom-
ing seriously alarmed al the prospect OF los
ing their preponderating influence In the

70 OUR PATRONS.

We print the .<Bgis Dc Iateuigeacer- for the
first time this week on our new Campbell
cylinder press, patented in the year 1866. the
capacity of which is twelve hundred impress
sions perhour, and which is as complete piece
of machinery, we venture 10 assert, as is to be
be met with anywhere, for the purpose for
which it is intended. We have added also
a new head which we hope will prove ac-
ceptable to our readers. We have made this
addition to our Office in order to render it
what we now consider it to be, as complete
printing establishment as can be found
without the limits ofthe city of baltimore for
all kinds of work appertaining to that line
of business. We have taken much pains,
which we fatter ourselves has been noticed
and remarked by the patrons of our paper,
to render the -Agis Dc Iaateligencer a journal
that will compare favorably with any in the
State, both as to the character of its selected
matter, the freshness and interest gifts local
contents, and the style and manner in which
we offer it to the public, in its mechanical
make up This has not been done without
much outlay and expense, to justify which
we hope for a still more extended circulation
of our paper than its already large subscrip-
ton list shows. Will not our friends co-ope-
rate with us, and each and every one afford
us that assistance which his opportunities
and convenience justify New subscribers, at
little trouble to those who will interest them
selves in our behalf, to the number we al
ready have, may be easily obtained, and thus
our circulation at least doubled. May we
not depend upon our patrons to see to it that
we may rely upon some little exertion upon
their part to further our interest in the mat
ter. 1t is not designed also to remain at our
present standpoint Indefinitely We believe
that we shall from time to time be justified
in making still further additions and improve
ments to our paper, both as to its contents
and appearance, which will keep it at all
times fully up to the progress of our county in
wealth and intelligence. 1t is needless to say
that it will advocate the principles of the
Democratic party, in the future, as it has done
in the past. AS to the character and style of
the job work we are'prepared to do, with the
increased facilities that we now possess, we
invite comparison with the best city work,
on terms as reasonable as the same can be
there obtained. ..r.
The gentlemanly agent for Campbells
cylinder presses in Baltimore city, Mr.. John
F. Mcguire, of Daugherty, Mcguire &
Wright No. 90 Second st., was ON hand to
put our press in running order, and we cor
daily recommend this gentleman to all in
search of a reliable machine of this descrip-
ton, with the certainty of having it well ar
ranged to start with.
With the assurance to our readers that
every effort will be made to merit their sup
port in the future and acknowledging their
liberality in the past, we start afresh, with
good hopes, upon our onward path

MEssRs. EDITORS We had the pleasure
last week Of visiting Dunmore Centre in
Lancaster county, Pa, by invitation, on oc-
casion of the dedication of masonic lodge
at that place Starting from our town, we
proceeded by way of Conowingo Bridge, and
in due aime arrived at the confines of our
State and passed Into Pennsylvania tran
sit very easily to be noticed, at almost the in
slant it ismade, by the difference to be remark
ed in the public roads. Here we found all the
roads in the very best condition, and at every
crossing finger boards erected, showing the
way to the nearest point of any note, and
telling the distance at the same time To
ourselves, who were strangers in that local
lty, this was great assistance, and we ap-
preclated the thoughtfulness of the Pennsyl-
vanla people to an extent that gave us good
impression at the very start. 1t was trifiing
matter, it IS true, but "tritles make up the
sum OF life" and it is better to pay attention
to small things and have them right, than to
neglect them altogether. But the good roads
are not to be ranked in the same category
We do moi know their system in all its par
ticulars, but it is certainly productive Of re-
suits that ought TO commend ii to the atten-
ton OF our own people: We are not going
to say that Pennsylvania is ahead of Mary
land, OF Hartford county in particular-"that
garden spot Of America for if we thought
SO, far be it from us to publish it to the world;
but we dc say that in some things of this
kind, we would do well to notice their modes
of accomplishing results, and then quietly
initiate the example, OF improve upon the
plan.
Other ,peculiarities in the people of our
neighboring State, wherein we are inclined
to believe they differ somewhat from our
selves, we also noticed on the occasion of our
little jaunt, but abstain at this time from
mentioning This part of Pennsylvania is
said, in figurative language, to be "a land
continued to flow whilst we were there, and
was not interrupted at all on our account.

Goinr to Pauperisrrl,

The able financial writer of the Philadel-
phia Age gives us the following facts, which
the people of this country will do well to
consider very soon -
The Commissioner OF Internal Revenue,
David A Wells, asserted, and proved by
statistics, that the tendency of the Mongrel
policy pursued in this country was to make
the rich, richer; the poor, poorer; that al
though the wages of the laborer have been
increased the advance fails to keep pace
with the augmented cost of the necessaries of
life. The speeches of Senator Sprague to the
workingmen of the country present to their
view the same disheartening picture. But
we fear that the American people fail to grasp
the full meaning of the statements thus pro-
mulgated. The Italians have provcrb that
"there is skeleton in every house." and ma
tons have their skeletons as well as families
The inevitable result of this constant deteri-
Grafton of the productive classes thus going
behind year after year, is pauperism, and
how rapid the growth of this evil Is we may
learn from the experience of England where
the same wide distinction between the rich
and the poor prevails
1t appears from the statistics produced in a
late English Parliamentary debate, that pau
perism has increased for twenty years in
q much larger ratio than the population
For example, in 1874, the number ofconfrm.
ed paupers was 100000, and they cost e.
075,600; in 1854, the number was 1854, 1000 !;
and the expenditure, was 1929 900; in
1864, the paupers had risen to 1,014,000, and
the expenditure to f6, 431 900. In the last
seven years, the population had increased
per cent the number of paupers had in
creased per cent. and there was an increase
in the expenditure of 30per cent. And those
figures relate only to systematic pauperism.
The pauper classes, all told, are estimated at
about 100000, or upwards of ne-tenth of
the population. If the increase goes on much
longer, the question will be, not how shall
the poor be fed by the rich ? but how shall
the rich be saved from being eaten (metaph-
orically) by the poor?
Our country is rapidly repeating the histo-
ny of England, and all because the people
persist in keeping men in power whose prin-
ciples and policy are directly opposed to the
popular interests and welfare. We shall
soon be nation of paupers, with few bond
holding aristocrats ruling with rod of iron,
unless the present dominant party is routed
horse, foot and Dragons in 1879, and an
party to back it, inaugurated in the honest
place administration, with an honest of
the Mongrel destructionists now ruling
