Speaker Blaine viii address public meetings in
MR. FARLEY ACCEPTS.

Mr.. Farley's letter accepting the nomi-
nation Of candidate Tor Congress, tender
ed him by the democracy of this district,
is published in the last Standard.
Mr. Farley does not conclude by saying
that he will accept the position offered
him, but goes on at length to find faul,
with the republican policy, and give his
opinions of the best method of carry
ing on the government. To begin with,
he sees nothing but ruin ahead unless
democratic mariners like himself shall be
placed in command of the ship. Since,
however, the ship came near being lost
by democratic mutineers. we fail to
see the propriety of putting her in charge
of such hands again. Even "a burnt
child breads the fire." and surely great
and enlightened nation which has been
obliged &c sacrifice the lives Of d million
of its citizens and burden its people thou
sands of millions of dollars will not con-
patriotism again. One candid look at the
history ofthe past ten years will settle that
question beyond the possibility of doubt
But Mr.. Farley addresses himself to the
shipbuilders, and after commissioning
them upon their sorry condition, tells
them that their difficulty lies in the dis
turbed condition Of the South, and draws
glowing picture of the blessings which
flowed 10 the shipbuilders from the sys-
tenn OF Slavery. We had supposed there
was no democrat in the State of Maine so
welded TO the barbarism of African Sla-
very that he would at this day sound its
praises. and we are astonished that Mr.
Farley should insult public opinion by SC
doing. Thank God, the general sentiment
is one of rejoicing that the monster evil il
dead, and we believe that shipbuilder.
and shipowners are no exception to tn,
common rule. The conclusion to b,
drawn from Mr.. Farley's jeremiad owe
the abolition of Slavery is that he woult
favor the re-establishment of the institu
ton. Now leaving humanity and justice
out of the account, and looking solely t.
the pecuniary welfare of the South ant
all concerned in it, we believe that thu
abolition Of Slavery will prove benefit

A correspondent of the Skowhegae Report

Mr.. Sumner Clark of Cornville was digging
ditch through piece of low land, and
when at depth of about three or four feet,
he struck a vein of pure water that gushed
out two inches or more in diameter. As he
stood looking at it fish five or six inches

he had gathered thirty. The fish resembed

comes from a source that is as reliable as any

UNITED STATES SENATOR.
GFrom the Fa,minqtoa Chronicle. !

From the Farmington Chronicle.
The resolutions SO unanimously adopted by
the Republicans of this county in their late
Convention, are but a natural expression of
their continued confidence in the men and
measures of the State and National organiza-
tons Of the great progressive party of princi-
pies to which they are proud to belong. To
the last resolution, we wish to call the atten-
hon OF Republican voters, that they may be
on the alert, and ready to vote, to a man, for
only such men to represent them at Augusta
the coming winter as unequivocally reflect the
sentiments and preferences therein expressed.
There can be no doubt, that Hon. Lot M.
MORRILL, is the choice of the people of Frank
lin county for the next United States Senator

in economic results to Slave Labor even
In the South. If the panacea for the de-
preston in shipbuilding and commerce Is
the prosperity of the South, it Will come
in full measure when Free Labor has the
entire field in the South. as it never did or
could exist under Slavery. Mr.. Farley's
fatherly advice is:
Put no faith in the principles of men
who. Influenced by visionary theories, or
selfish purposes, or both, seek to place the
| political destinies of that section of the
country possessing the richest soil, under
the domination of an inferior race, led on
to ruin by needy political Adventures.
Against this solemn admonition we put
the late letter of Col James Orr to the
people of South Carolina, in which he
takes his leave of the democratic party,
and declares that the true path of pros
perity for his State is to follow the lead of
the republican party. Who is best au-
thority, Mr.. Farley or Mr.. Orr?
The next subject which Mr.. Farley
touches upon is taxation of bonds, from
which he slides to the payment of the
5-20's in greenbacks, and the new funding
bill. The first two propositions he favors.
but funding the debt he detests. The first
are steps to reputation of the public
debt. the last is measure to pay it hon
estly but reduce the interest. Govern
ment bonds were never taxed by the gov
eminent They were never taxed when
issued under democratic control. To tax
them now would be contrary to precedent
and the judgment of our best statesmen.
To tax the bonds already issued under the
promise of exemption would be gross
fraud upon the creditors, and taxation of
the new ones is equalized by the low rate
of interest proposed in the funding bill.
The payment of the 5-20's in paper is also
another proposed cheat of the national
creditors, but Mr.. Farley can see no in
justice in it, and no dangert to the national
credit from thus breaking its faith. Since
the democratic party is avowedly opposed
to the payment of the national debt, Mr..
Farley is consistent with his party creed
in the measures he advocates.
Stating Mr.. Farley's positions squarely
they amount to this:
Restoration of Slavery to improve ship.
building ard commerce.
Reputation of the public debt and de-
struction of the national credit.
| We have not seen another platform put
out anywhere, not even in Egypt or Ken
lucky, with so hunkerish look as this.
We doubt if Vallandigham himself would
suggest any addition. Did Mr.. Farley
write his letter for this latitude, or was it
intended for some of the forlorn districts
in the cotton States where the schoolmaster
is never seen, and love of Slavery and ha-
tired to the government are the prevailing
ideas? If advanced democrats in the
Third district can stand upon his letter,
they must have tough consciences and
stupid heads. In the hands of the voters
of this district we leave him, who will tell
him very decidedly what they think Of his
platform on the 18th of September.

1t is important that the corrections and

Commercial.

The commercial editor of the Ore
goniaa, in speaking of the effect of the
decline of gold on our merchants and
business in general, says:
The effect has reached San Francis
co, and will reach this city. We have
already advanced quotations on dry
goods, in consequence of the decline of
gold; and dealers in other lines of
goods assure us that they will be obliged
to revise prices. Business is destined
to be more or less shaken up for
time while the currency is undergoing
the changes noted, and those who have
dealt so carelesslY as to be largely in
debt at the East, with outstanding
credits here. may find it difficult to get
through, right side up. We have not
the means of knowing precisely how
Oregon importers stand upon the books
at San Francisco and New York, but
we have the opinions of those who
ought to know, that our State is largely
in debt at both places. In the payment
of bills at the former place, the decline
of gold will make little difference, as
the contracts were for gold, in any case ;
but bills owing in New York will be
hard to pay, as they were contracted
to be paid in legal tenders, the price of
which has advanced very considerably
