Pungent Letter Of Hon. JOhn
Quincy Adams, ON Political
Parties.
Extract Of lis Letter accepting the Noni
nation for Governor Of Massachusetts.


Without head, or system, or princi-
ples. the Republican party is held togeth-
or only by the life Of decay-corruption.
rs system of taxation is the most bur
densome and the least democratic in the
world its currency is the robbery of the
moor. whilst its Wanted reduction of the
debt has only been accomplished by a
cruel taxation, which doubles the burden
by taking two dollars from the people for
each dollar paid to the public creditor.
This scheme of imposts is deliberately
and craftily organized in the interests of
associated capital alone, and is as GER
family, if not as palpably, a violation of
every principle of equal democratic gov
eminent as was the eognate policy of the
same party, by which two hundred mil
lions Of acres of the peoples homestead
lands have been given away to railroad
corporations. This cunningly devised
scheme will this year take FIVE or six hun
bred millions of dollars from the people,
and pay it over to the capitalists who own
your mines and mills and furnaces and
salt-works, to alleviate their Improbable
labor, as certainly as if the tax was open
" levied and the bounty avowedly paid.
The Democracy, on the contrary, accept
ing the past and frankly recurring to the
principles of Jefferson, hold out the
hand to all who long for reform, and
press forward to redeem the future. To
that end they call on all men who are for
a moderate and equal tariff, conceived in
no interest less universal than that of the
whole people, on all who know that
deprecated currency is a curse to every
one-but utter perditiOn to the poor
and on those men who see how corrup-
ton is sapping the foundations of the
government, to maintain by their votes
the truly democratic measures Of Hard
Money, Revenue Tariff, and radical
reduction and reform in the Civil Ser
vice.
In State affairs the success of the Dem
ocracy would mean the absolute cessation
of grants of public funds or credit to
local or partial uses. The sturdy beg
CARS who infest the State House need no
longer doubt whether the Executive can
be screwed up to forbid their plans of
plumber. Democratic economy will not
mean crowded lobby and swelling
debt Special legislation shall no lon
ger drag out the sessions of your Legis-
lature to midsummer; and Democracy
dare trust the people to buy their food
and drink, unmatched by an odious and
expensive corps of informers.

ca ANtES az mAKRIAGE.

In oiden times, says Frenchman,
who with the usual assurance of his
countrymen, pretends to know some
thing about woman, female beauty
Was so fascinating that it was certain

on the subject and it is seldom that a
girl is married for her personal attrac-

runs risk of always keeping her hon.

not rich enough to pay handsome sum
to some gallant or other to change it
into that of wife.
1t is an accident, or in fact sort of
prodigy when man marries a woman
solely Tor her beauty, quality which
has singularly fallen in value in our
mercenary days. If it ever should
take rise, it might be we'll to adopt
the Persian mode of reducing the mum
Der Of old maids. This consisted in sell
ling the beautiful girls to those who
were willing TO buy them, and giving
the amount to the ugly; SO that the
handsomest endowed the ugliest; the
second in beauty, the second in ugli-
ness. et ceterd.
But this plan would be, we fear, IN
applicable in our days; for there
would be but few bidders for the beau
tiful women, and the ugly, if the mon-
ey was to go with them, would be the
only ones to find takers. Seriously,
continues the Frenchman who il must
be borne in mind. is speaking in France
and not in the United States, marriage
is tending to disappear from our social
habits. The number of old maids, es-
pecially of the middle class, is increas-
ing daily,

This we need not say, alIudes to
France, aud may be more or less
true, a. we hope il Is In our own copn-

Among the rich especially where
the women brings handsome dowry,
marriage is also possible; but in the
middle class, how can it be nowadays :?
All the young girls we're brought up in
the same way. Each one is SO excu-
sively adapted for the great prizes that
there are none suitable for the inferi-

formerly considered theluxuries of life.

gerous and most fatal of all--the equal
ity ofexpense.
Every girl is brought up with the idea
thatshe viii draw in the lottery of mar
riage first prize. 1t is imagined that
style and accomplishments will make
up for want of fortune. 1t is mis-
take; they will only make it more ne
cessary in fact, absolutely iIdispensi-
ole.
Marriage is the greatest luxury a
man can indulge in. When we reflect
that all the women of the middle class
are nowadays brought up to shine in
society, that there are 10 longer any
marked distinctions as far as expense
is concerned, and that the standard of
necessary living is fixed according to
that ot the richest, a man must be in
deed greatly III love if he does not hes
ilate before the "mountain of velyel,
silk, and jeweIry that he must consup @
all his days in accomplishing, in order
tina, MS wife may be properly drers-
ed"
For men OF this class, woman is not
a companion, to take share in proper
ton to her strength of the common
cares and labors of life, but an idol that
he must pass his days in adorniLg for
the admiration of others. A poor man
who marries such woman without
dowry would be capable of buying a
a horse which had to be fed upon topa-
yes and emera,ds instead Of oats. So it
is now rare to find a husband of the
kind, and soon it will be impossible.
This is what they are coming to in
France, according to very good au-
thority.
Let our countrywomen take this
warning fresh from Paris, together
with the other fashions they are so
fond of getting flOm the same quarter,
and thus using the one as an antdote
to the excess of the other, avoid throw
ing away the chances of marriage.
