What reasons, in all parts of the United
States, are so strong for the displacement
of the Radicals, now in power at Wash
ingtOn, as their gross, palpable and adj
united ELsEgP0tt0BS and ~trGBpttsg under
foot the Constitution in the matter OREGON
Strlteti0R aud The so called GHesdaeRE ?
From Maine TO California, and from the
Lakes to the Gulf, can any friend of Con-
stitutiOnal Liberty, whether he styles
himself Democrat or Conservative, assign
any other reason hdLf so strong as these
acts of tyranny and centralism, for driv-
ing from power those who lave so want
only and hagrantly abused their trust?
augusta Observation-Disclosures.
Not one. Give up these arguments,
yield these as accomplished facts not to
lie disturbed, consent to these doctrines,
UsurpatiOns and essentially corrupt and
yillainous practices, surrender the Consti-
tuition as it was, and nothing remains on
which TO build a Democratic platform, on
which freemen and patriots can be ration
ally called to rally as worth anything, as
in the least essential and important for
the salvation of the country. When the
rights OF the States to control the fran
chise, and other matters, W over
which has never been delegated to Con-
gress, is ignored, when Congress is admit
ted absolute and supreme, we nave a con-
solidsted empire, Congress, or the execu-
tive by its dietation, is "the State" sndthe
voice Of the American people is no longer
sovereign. War to the knife and the knife
to the hilt against all usurpations and
usurpers, is the only refuge Of liberty. II
we are too weak for that, we arc indeed
fallen and helpless. When we cannot
strike as freemen for common right, we
are powerless TO strike at sIl, and shall be
wisest il We patiently wear and strive to
polish u chains.

THE Philadelphia Ago says: "Dsmo-
cratic meetings are well attends this fall.
The people are anxious 10 hear that side
ofthe question. They nave been so griev-
ously cheated by the Radicals that a
change is imperatively demanded. Taxes
are eating up their substance, rents are
enormous, and the necessaries Of life still
hold a high figure in the market. Each
year matters are growing worse, esch
year the Radicals promise relief in the
way of legislation, and break the promise
in order 70 crafty thieves and Plunderers.
There must be an end to this game OF du-
plicity and deception. L cannot always
win, and the masses are preparing for an
end st the coming elections. When the
facts in ~relstion to the Income tax and
other acts Of Congress are presented in q
proper light to the people, they viii crush
the Radical party like an egg-shel. Only
let our Democratic speakers keep these
issues in the lead in all their ~discourses,
and the battle is won."

being represented wholly and nearly Ell
bslng represented partly by proxies. One
man repeatedly voted for ionr COUNTIES,
holding proxies for all their delegates,
real or pretended. In this way, about Eve
hundred persons cast the eight hun
dred votes to which all the counties are
entitled. 1t was agreed in reports by men
of all opinions, that about two hundred
and fifty men left the convention, but, as
the records Of the Brown Convention will
show, these men represented over three
hundred and ffty out OF the eight hundred
votes, while the balance who remained,
under the system Of proxies, represented
about four hundred and fny votes ont of
the eight hundred. But, such was the IN
famous basis Misrepresentation upon which
the convention was called, thai, as we have
clearly shown already, the ESQ persons,
casting with proxies, $50 votes represented
not less than 81, 500 voters, while the $50
persons that remained, casting with prOx-
les $50 votes, actually represented not
more than $1,000 voters. We shall see in
November how many of them were mis-
represented"
The boilers are resoiutely determined
ON reform, and the Democrat thus further
states the object and meaning of the
movement, as follows:
DO you want to know the pifh Of this
Brown movement, and the secret Of its
strength
It is Just this: All over the State men
are sick OF acknowledgements, sick Of
wrangles about the past, sick of monopo-
ly tariffs, sick of high taxes, sick of the
corrupt rings which rule counties and
bleed Taxpayers. These rings are some
times Radical, sometimes Democratic.
and sometimes both. They are composed
mainly of the mean and marrow men who
have been tossed to the surface in the sE-
fervsscence of a civil war. They cling to
their power by means of old and rotten
party organizations which they control.
The people are sick Of ali this. They see
that the old Radical and the old Demo-
cratic organizations have become in
many localities, so corrupt that the cleo
ton of honest men is an impossibility
without a general uprising and
Overturning. They look with hope
and JOY to g new organization, first
because 1t proposes principles dear
to the popular heart, second because it
promises TO end Acknowledgement, fruit
ful source of corruption, third because it
means 70 abolish the separation and quar-
rel between good citizens because of past
troubles, fourth because it proposes to
tighten taxation and crush m~onopolies,
and fifth, because it opens a way to tum-
bic out Of power forever. In the various
counties, those corrupt rings and worth
less shysters, whether Radical or Demo
cratic. New organizations are always
more pure, more free from the control of
corrupt cliques, more directly dependent
OF the mass of the people, than the old.

DEMOCRATIC TICKET.


IT Is reported that General Mcmahon
complained Of being imPeded in his
movements by the immense train of the
Emperor, and that on one occasion he re-
fused to concede to a request to detaeh
thirty Thousand men as an escort for the
royal baby, the Prince Imperial. The
weight of these impediments delayed him
Just enough to prevent his junction with
Bazaine, which would have changed the
whole face of matters and at the least
have delayed the Prussian advance for
many weeks. The contrast between the
first Napoleon, who was the soul Of vic
tory, and the second, who was an incubus
and weight too great TO carry, is extreme
" wide. To the presence OF Louis and
his interference with his msrshals, they
now aseribe their defeat as in 3 great
measure due.

The Republican st. Louis Democrat
gives 81 interesting account and explain
alton Of the split in the State Radical
Convention. It says: "Great effort is
made by the party Of robbery andpying to
make it appear that the number Of dele
gates who seeded from the packed con-
vsntion at Jefferson City was less than
one-seventh Of the whole. This is done
in the following fashion: whom al the
whitesmen from a county seeded, there
was often left one negro, who alerDaTd
cast the V0te Of he 0hoEe coHaty. The
same was done in every other case in
which a part Of a delegation was left be-
hind. By deducting the sham vote TINS
cast after the separation from the whole
number Of delegates, the number OF Sc
ceders Is made to appear only about one
undre and fry. Now the plain fact rs
that the number Of persons in the whole
convention before separation was mot
more thar I've hundred, many counties

HAVING little to boast of, the adherents
Of General Grant are busy magnifying tc
the utmost the merits Of his administra-
ton on the ground Of the payment Of the
public debt. 1t turns cut, however. that
the debt has been reduced less rapidly
uhderth Tie administration of General Grant
than that OF Andrew Johnson, whose
chief merit consisted in resisting the
Grant party to set up one OF his own, and
who might haye accomplished something
II he had possessed the capacity to con-
oeiye and the nerve to execute a great en-
terprise. As it was, what Johnson's adj
ministratiOn did in reducing the public
debt was done against wind and
tide and under the most unfa-
vorable circumstances, emitting it in
this respect to rank far above the admin
istration Of Grant, Notwithstanding all
b bosstfal pretenses Of the financial
humbug, Secretary Boutwell,. Hon.
Alexander Delmar, United States Som-
missioner Of Statistics, thus puts an ex-
tlDguisher on the pretentious claim Of
these boosters:
As % its claim in respect 20 the pay
m6lt o. the public debt, I have TO reply.
IN the hrst place, that a gradual reduction
OF the public debt has been going on ever
since the fiscal year 1856. At the close
OF That year July, 1850 the public debt

administration means. viz: The written
debt Of the Government; tie sum nj

port Of the Secretary Of the Treasury.

Mr.. Smalley, the London correspondent
of the New York Tribune, who is a greater
friend to the ballot for woman than his
newspaper is, sends tho following curious
piece of news from England:
"There is possibility that woman suf-
frage will he carried this very next session
OF Parliament, incredible as such n thing
may appear at first sight. 1t can only be
done, of course, by party movement, and
equally of course, il is the tories who con-
template adopting it as party measure.
Mr.. Disraeli's education process may be
tried once more, though he will scarcely
venture to insist that the extension of the
suffrage to women Is merely carrying out
the traditions and creed of the only consti-
tutional party. II is TO be pnt upon the
more Ineligible and interesting ground
that il will pay. One Of the most cautious
advocates of tho measure in Parliament re-
cards such n step as not only possible but
probable. If taken, the bill will be likely
TO pass almost unanimously, since tho ma
iority of liberals arc quite alive TO the dan
ger OF being outbldden by their old enc
mics in such matter, and they certainly
will not vote against il as parry. On tho
merits of the question they would divide.
Sir John Coloridgc, for instance, is a warm
advocate Of woman suffrage, and Mr..
Bright is equally strong against it. 1t is
pretty generally felt that since the conccs-
sion of the municipal suffrage TO women,
no very logical reason can be adduced for
refusing them the parliamentary. Tho suf-
fragc resting here on property qualiiica-
tion-lor householder and lodgcr suffrage
amounts to that--thc arguments that c. II
be used against it in America arc not APP
plicable here, and there seems to be no
middle course between admitting women
to the franchise on its existing basis, or
substituting manhood in the place Of
household suffrage. Whether the work
ingmen would come into scheme Of uni
vcrsal suffrage instead of manhood suf-
fraec is very doubtful. However that may
be, the leading advocates of the woman's
movement are extremely hopeful Of nca
err success than would have been thought
possible sly months ago by the most con-
flen, of them"

FORK.

When tho Tammany politicians get
through with their scramble for the spois OF
oiiico in Now York city, another question
of vital and surprising interest is to come
before the people of that State and of the
country. That Is, the support of secta-
rian schools out of the public moneys.
The fundamental principle Of our free in
situations has been mo union of church
and state" Each Is to stand by itself, act
Ing within its own separate sphere, neither
In terfe ring with the functions Of the other.
No church or sect is TO receive a preference
over the other in dipensing public iavors,
none to be endowed or aided out of the
public funds. With this all sects have
been content but the Roman Catholics.
They have been satisfied that the state
should give their children n secular educa-
ton, reser wing the right to educate them
religiously at their own expense. But for
some time past the Catholics have express
cd their dissent from this arrangement,
and have been pressing their claim for a
part of the school funds, for the support OF
their own sectarlan schools. Last year
th ey succeeded In getting hear half mill
ion dollars appropriated In Now York city
for this purpose.
This with other abuses has awakened an
uuwouted interest among Christian men
throughout the state Of New York, and
few days since a meeting assembled al

ject Of political reform. Several subjects
received a share OF attention, temperance

THE PLoUGu GUIDE.-The plough guide
is thus described by the Maine Farmer: 4
plough fitted with the guide looks like
cross between n low-wheeled truck and
hal finished plough. The plough has no
handles or stills, but terminates abruptly
with the rear end OF the ordinary beam.
The forward end of the beam (Which is
somewhat shorter than usual,) is attached
by an ingenious combination of links and
thumb screws to an upright rod of iron
about two feet long. This iron lies close to
the mould board side of the beam, and is
so firmly attached TO it that it cannot be
turned over to the right or left without TAX
ing the iron rod with it, although the at
tachnent may be easily looseled to allow
the beam TO be raised or lowered. The
lower end of the rod is securely bolted to a
horizontal axle about three feet long. The
furrow end of tails axle carries q wheel
about twenty inches in diameter, and the
other end one about half its size. A chain
passing from about the centre of the beam
to the rear of the axle is attached to a hook
on the end of the drart-rod, to which the
whflictrees are mad fast. This describes
the essential construction of tho plough.
In going to the field, the beam IS raised
and screwed fast to the up, or part of tic
vertical iron rod. The team is attached,
and the pillow is drawn along with its point
raised about three inches above the ground.
Arrived on the ground, the end of the beam
is lowered according to the depth of cutting
desired. The large wheel is set in the fur
row and the team is started The plough
takes care of itself, and anybody able to
keep the Off horse in the furrow is compe-
tent to do n mans work.
