It sounds badly for the Democratic Congress-
men, to talk in their address, about extravagant
expenditures by the Administration. In truth,
the officials of their party headed by Andrew
johnson, failed to enforce the laws, failed to
collect the taxes, connived at frauds on the rev.
enue, and then having thus reduced the receipts,
elledexpenditures,s 80 that during their four
years of office, the public debt was increased.
But President Grant was elected, new officials
were appointed, and the result is that the debt
is reduced, already, q hundred millions Of dol
lars, and by the economy and honesty of the Ad-
ministration, Congress is enabled to greatly de-
crease the public taxation. Our opponents are not
the men to talk of extravaganza, for the people
will instantly recognize their own offences of
that kind

One member of the Maine Democratic State

One member Of the Maine Democratic State
Convention, who WAS inclined to favor support
ing Gov. Chamberlain for reelection as an inde-
pendent candidate, said Gov. Chamberlain WAS
born and nurtured Democrat, and added: "We
have been in the habit Of nominating a highly
respectable gentleman, sdjourning and going
home, but we have never elected anybody in all
these years. We have fought out the oldest
issues; they are dead beyond resurrection, and
we should make new fight upon new ques-
tions."
What ore the old issues7" Msnifestly
those aylaire out Of the War, upon the wrong
side Of which, the Democracy, mot only in Maine,
but in the other States were defeated, year after
year. The 18th Amendment belongs to the
group, and 80 would that absurd monstrosity, the
saulsbury trick Of white mans party" They
are all dead issues.

WHEN MARY WAS A LAssIE.

The maple trees are tinged with red,
The birch with golden yellow;
And high above the orchard wall
Hang apples rich and mellow.
And that the way, through yonder lane
That looks 80 still and grassy
The way took one Sunday eye,
When Mary was lassie.
You'd hardly think that patient face,
That looks so thin and faded,
Was once the very sweetest one
That bonnet ever shaded.
But when went through yonder lane
That looks so still and grassy,
Those eyes were bright, those cheeks were fai
When Mary was lassie.
But many tender sorrow,
And many patient care,
Have made these burrows on the face,
That used to be so fair.
Four times in yonder churchyard,
Through the lane 80 still and grassy,
We've borne and laid away our dead,
Since Mary was a lassle.
And 30 you see I've grown to love
The wrinkles more than roses;
Earths winter flowers are sweeter far
Than all springs dewy posies;
They'll carry US through yonder lane
That looks 80 still and grassy,
Ad0wn the lane used to go
When Mary was lassie.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY BROKEN UP. IN
MAINE

The Democratic Convention OF Maine met at
Portland on Tuesday, and after a stormy and
violent session, adjourned to meet at Bangor, in
August without making any nomination for
Governor, the business for which it had assem-
bled. The mover of the resolution to adjourn
was Mr.. George f. Emery, who said he believed
the people Of the State desired the reelection OF
the present incumbent, General Chamberlain,
(Republican.) This was greeted with prolonged
cheers. In reply to it, General Chas. w.
Roberts demanded to know:
SIS the Democratic party of Maine dead
Have we come to see its body decently Inferred?
Are we merely pall-bearers ? Sooner would
die an ignoble death in the Democratic party,
than live by picking crumbs from the Repnbli-
can table," (,
General Roberts, too, was greeted with tumul-
tuous cheers, and thus the two parties in the
Convention developed n tremendous uproar.
Other speakers supported each side,
some Of them, says the report,
loudly and bitterly denouncing the
Chamberlain movement" One Mr.. Marcellus
Emery denounced Governor Chamberlain as OPP
posed to the Democratic party, on every leading
question, whereupon a Mr. Chadbonrne, of Port
land, declared that but for Mr.. Emery's party
friends, that gentleman would have been hung
from lamp-post in Bangor, during the war
This stirred nm still more bad blood, and the ex
element Increased 40 that. in tho language Of
the kilograms. "for full ten minutes, there wa,

Finally, the resolution to adjourn was declare,
carried. bv 259 to 1s5 tbouph there were tremen

renewed confusion tha assembly broke up.

Among many names that might have been
very acceptable to q large portion of the recent
Republican Convention, in connection with the
Governorship, was that of George 2. Tybout, Of
New Castle county. As he declined, positively,
to permit it to be used, it is not inappropriate
for us to refer moment to him, and to the up
right and honorable course he has taken, in his
relations to the Republican organization. When,
in 1866 after the most confident expectations of
his friends that he would be made the candidate
for Governor, another gentleman received the
endorsement of q majority of the Convention,
the result, though unexpected to his friends,
and doubtless to himself, was acquiesced in
with hearty candor that did the highest honor
to Mr.. Tybout. And ever since, he has stood
uprightly in the ranks, differing sometimes
perhaps, on public questions, with our nationa
leaders, but never spreading discomfort, or SOW
ing dissension. With steady front always
toward our opponents, the character and po
sitiop of George 2. Tybout have done much t.
strengthen and harmonize the Republican or
ganization, not only in New Castle county, bu
in the State, and we take it that this is no i'm
proper occasion to thus testify the fact.

The opinions of the Philadelphia newspapers,
which we print elsewhere show the character Of
the Democratic ticket nominated in that city.
1t is one more proof that whatever may be the
aspirations of good citizens for Reform, they
can never get it from the control Of the Demo-
cratic party. All experience proves that such an
expectation is folly.

Immigration? Yes. Importation7 mol This
is the sum and substance of the reply Of the
American people to the Chinese question. We
protect our home productions, in order that
American labor shall be paid decent and sustain
ing wages To cast dragnets abroad, for the
cheap laborers of China, and bring them in here,
to crowd down the rates of hire, is simply an
outrage upon every principle Of Protection, and
none but the Free Trade party can tolerate it.
To them it will be natural and reasonable.

1t is evident that the pretence in the Demo-
cratic Congressmens address, of hope that
they will soon have majority in the next House,
is altogether false. They advise no candidate
shall be elected who cannot take the test oath.
Why? Because If he cannot, he will not be
given seat. Why? Would Democratic ma
jority keep him out Not at all; but Repub-
lican majority will; and hence the advice.

CHANGE OF ROUTE OF THE p. W. AND h. n. R.--THE
WORK TO com dENCE IN MEDIATELY.
The Delaware COUNTY american, of Wee ,e--
day. says:- -
The long talked of change in the bed Of the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad
from the vicinity of Chester to Philadelpia,s as
to avoid the marshy low lands adjoining the river
grading and work on the bed of the new road, it
is now promised, will be completed before the
frost sets in. The rails will not be laid until next
spring, allowing the bed time to Settle The new
route will leave the old one immediately after
crossing the Ridley Creek bridge, near Chester,
Chester pike at Muckinapotas Creek, passing
through the more populous portions Of Ridley
and Darby townships, and also through Darby
Borough. BY this change the Company will
reap many advantages, and the facilities for
travel will be greatly enhanced. The road be-
tween Chester and Philadelphia, has never fully
met expenses, and the flooding of the track along
| the river added annually to the cost. 1t is now
proposed to lay three tracks, one of them to be
used exclusively for travel between Chester and
Philadelphia, the trains to connect the two
points every thirty minutes. The other tracks
| will be devoted to the regular business of the
road. If this programme is fully carried out, it
will greatly increase the advantages to all the
citizens Of Chester, or along the line of the
new route, and the consequent easy and quick
| communication with the city will induce rapid
settlement, and thus add to the growth and
prosperity Of the county generally. Darby
Borough will be especially benefited, and will
doubtless awake to new life and activity. The
credit Of the change is largely due the unceasing
| efforts Of VIM. D. II. Serrill. Richard Thatcher,
and other prominent citizens Of that vicinity.
The probable damages along the line of the new
route have been canvassed, and are reasonably
iow--the citizens generally being public spirited
and making allowances for the increase in the
value of real estate, which is sure to follow the
enterprise. We hope soon to hear that the work
has been actually commenced, and have nc
doubt of the ability and the will of the company
| to push it vigorously. This section of the road
will be in all respects first class the intention
being not to permit it to cross any highway
road, or lane at grade.

The New York World states, on authority of
the best description, that The Southern planters
'heartily acquesce in free labor, while 'the me-
''groes are reasonably industrious, and are i'm
.'proviug every year, under the wages system
1t states, further, that the general description
of affairs at the South .'conveys pleasing and

.'groes and the disposition of their employees. /"
Furthermore says the World, ''the labor prob
.'lem is regarded as solved to the satisfaction Of
"all concerned" Still further, says the World,
ssthe negroes work with alacrity." And yet fur
ther, it states, "the industrial part of the expe-
riment is working, to the satisfaction of all con-
s'cerl.ed."
All this, and much more is set forth in the
leading editorial of the World, in Its issue of
| Friday, May oath, where all interested may read
/ it. When we remember that the World is the
| National Democratic organ, leading the whole
newspaper press of its party, it is gratifying to
see such candid and honest testimony to the
character of the Southern colored men. They
"work with alacrity," now, and "are improving
every year." Let the newspapers which have
been making contrary statements note these
facts, thus formally and conspicuously testified
