The Dedham Patriot says that marriage
once took place at Canton. Mass, under
the following circumstances: The bride
groom, when quite a small boy, ran away
from his parents, who lived in Lower Cam
ada In process of time the father died,
the mother married again, and the fruits Of
this Union were several daughters. The
daughters grew up, and the parents having
no means to support them, they went to
work in factories. One strsyed to Canton
factory, where, by fortuitous circumstance
the runaway happened to be at work. He
soon became acquainted with this girl, and
before a full history Of each others origin
was developed married her. In q few days
it was ascertained that they both had one
mother. This, of course, greatly confused
both parties, from which arose strong con-
scientiOus scruples as to the propristy OF
brother and sister living together in state
of matrimony; and upon mature considers
ton they resolved mutually to dissolve
their connection as man and wife.

thieves, burglars and robbers, for some time
past, and housebreaking has been Of daily
and nightly occurrence. At one time they
depradate chiefly in one division, but when
driven from that, they betake themselves to
another. A few weeks ago their rendezvous
was in the North Division; then they made a
general assault upon the West Division. But
the police routed and captured many of
them, and the rest betook themselves to the
South Division. where, for week past,
they have been plying their trade

Democratic Platform.

The Albany Democratic Convention
have constructed long series of reso>
lutions that arc nothing but bundle
of words and sentences thrown together
without meaning. There are only two
or three positive positions taken in the
whole platform: one, the suffrage ques-
ton; another, the reputation of the
national debt; and third, the con-
demnation of the course the Governor
has pursued in not calling All extra ses-
sion of the Legislature.
As far as the proposition to pass an
amendment to the Constitution, res
ending the 14th and 18th amendments,
is concerned, would be a step back.
wards, and one that would be exceed
ingly difficult to take now that SO great
a voting element is added by those
amendments. Besides, it would not be
an act of justice or policy to take away
from the negroes the rights guaranteed
by the 14th amendment. The Demo>
Gratis might just as well resolve to re-
turn them to slavery, which q majority
of the party no doubt secretly desires.
The second point they make Is
couehed in these words: "W c favor
an equitable adjustment of the bonded
debt OF the United States" This por>
ton of the platform is interpreted, by
the provision Of the Polk county Dem-
ocratic resolutions, to mean repudi alton
The Albany Convention dare not be
honest aud publicly declare their senti-
ments, but cover them up SO that in
one place they may be translated one
thing, and in another different policy.
The very fact that they dare not plainly
say what they mean is evidence that
the measure is dishonest and unjust.
The part of the platform relating to
local politics is bosh and is one that We
should have thought would have been
left out of the question.
The resolution relating to protec-
tive tariff is net materially different
from the Republican idea on the same
subject, and was made to favor their
manufacturing candidate for Governor

Cheap Labor.

The Democratic party, true to its
old instincts, has sought to indame the
prejudices of the individual members
of the party against the inferior races,
aud to that end the Albany Conven.
ton has fred paper wad against the
Chinese.
We have never been an advocate of
promiscuous Chinese immigration, but
have always considered that the agita,
ton of the subject in politics is not the
way to prevent the coming of these
foreigners. 1t is great elap-trap ar.
gument invented by Democrats to catch
voters. This same subject is ably
treated in the Technologist, journal
devoted exclusively to labor and the
laboring man. That journal, not being
influenced by politics, thus disposes Of
the subject:
"The most pressing of our requires
ments, therefore, is large increase in
the number of engineers, architects,
aud educated superintendents of techs
biological processes, and this want is
rendered still more apparent, if we
consider the great additions that are
being made to the low grades of our
laboring population by the influx oi
| foreigners; for, whatever view we may
take Of immigration in general, and
Chinese labor in particular, il 10 very
obvious that we might as well attemp,
to oppose the advance of the tides oi
the ocean as to Oppose the human tide
that the superior attractions of oul
country will draw to our shores. Oul
only hope of escape from being over
whelmed lies in our ability to float upor
this tide, instead of being sunk be
meath it. The battle between muscl,
and brain will be waged as fercely il
the. ranks of labor, as ever was the bat
tie of caste between the feudal aris
tocracy aud their yassals and it is no
difficult to predict the result. HI
VINO depends upon mere muscle 10
success, whether in the field of agricul

wall as surely as the serfs of old wen

if we are to hold our own in this coun
try, it must be by SO educating our
selves that we may be competent to di

Dor that is soon to be thrown on th
market"
To these views Of the writer W
readily accord assent, and hold that in
stead Of resolving in political platform
to either foster or oppose the comm

Reputation.

Why is It that the Democratic party
in Oregon desires to repudiate the na-
tionaI debt? Is it because the individ-
.ual members making up the party are
.swindlers and dishonest men? or is the
burden of taxation too grevious to be
borne? is it because of our inability
TO pay? Are We, aa people, or as sin
gle persoas, reduced to penury because
the national tax is greater than
before the war? What person in the
whole United States goes hungry or
naked by reason of the amount that
they pay to the Goyernaent in the
shape Of taxes?
In their private business, Democrats
are as honest as the generality of man
kind. No one doubts the ability of the
people of the United States to pay what
we ore, and all know that we are not,
as people, impoverished by paying
what we justly owe. Nor do people
suffer for food any more than they did
before the war. Therefore we conclude
that meme of these reasons influenced
the members Of the Albany Convention
when they resolved that the public debt
should be "equitably adjusted "
But on the other hand we assert,
without fear Of being truthfully contra
dicted, that those men were either inn
PEELED to declare for reputation by
their itching for Office, or by the same
vile spirit that caused them during the
war to sympathise with the secession>
lists. IL IS because the money that was
obtained from the sale OF these bonds
was used in the subjugation Of these
national criminals These leading
Democratic politicians do not like the
U. s. bonds, or even the legal tenders
because they are evidences of the abil.
ity Of the Government to subdue any
body of men that may seek the life oil
our nation, and hence they want to re
pudiate to put them out of sight and
mind as soon as possible.
The trath is, those men from whose
bosoms the 9th resolution sprang arc
actually in favor of rcpudiating the ma
tional debt in toto, and would more
freely assist in the payment of the deb
contracted by the Confederacy to carr,
on the war against the Governmen
than to pay one dollar Of our .'just ant
equitable" Indebtedness, all upon th,
principle that the leaders of that part,
have always strenuously contended, a
is clearly shown by their record, tha
the war was unauthorized by the Con
.stitution, that there was no power unde
that instrument to coerce, that rebel
were only fighting for their Constitu
tional rights, and that the whole wa
scheme was an outrage upon the sacre
rights Of the South. their peculiar in
stitutions, and the Democratic part
generally.

Tt is noticeable fact that while the

of praise and commendation for the

labors of the season by making this re-

enough of this sort of talk !? Can any
sane political man in this country seri-
ously desire to renew it? George
Washington "rebelled" agninst a tyran.

upon slavery and caste prejudices, and
to overturn. political system which had
won the admiration and applause of the
civilized world. Is there no difference
