turned to take with him also his own printing
appliances here, having decided to make a
permanent abode in the great West. Mr. f.
r. Staples, our Register of Probate has gone
into the printing business with Mr.. F. G. Rich,
and established large Office in the Boyd
block. They are doing the printing Of the
Revised Statutes, having new type and q
splendid Adams press for book work. These
are only the recent changes in this line here.
AS to political matters there is strange
mixture. Everybody remembers the oriental
tale of Hafeds experiences in the world of
of family was beautiful tonic to another.
Wool grew on horses, pear trees were break
ing down under a load of gourds. Confusion
diffuses itself, and yet there seems to be a
general opinion that the country will survive.
Among the new candidates for Congress from
this first district hear within few days the
name of Hon. N. G. Marshall of York promi-
nently mentioned, and it would not surprise
me if he proves a formidable competitor. He
is a man of great force and sagacity and most
favorably known in public life. Perhaps no
man from that portion of the district could
command stronger support from Cumber-
land county, and if he can gather about him
considerable strength at home his chances are
not to be despised. But it is too early to at
tempt diagnosis of this troublesome case
now and leave it for future consideration.
The Governor question is shorn of one pos
sible complication by the recent understand
ing that Gov. Chamberlain is not in any way
to come before the people. The contest here
is squarely between Hersey and Perhain, SO
far as is possible to judge. How this city will
GO is not so clear. Something of diversion
was for short time made by some alleged
temperance leaders who industricusly set
forth the chances of Chamberlain winning
and beating Perham in the event of his nomi-
nation. To save the party they were willing
to go for Hersey. Prominent among the gen
tlemen who were said to take this view
of the case is the Hon. John j. Perry OF Ok
ford, and gentleman informs me that he un-
derstood the Hon. Nathan G. Hichborn to hold
similar views. The new phase of the case
will relieve these gentlemen from their UNI
pleasant dilemma, and no doubt insure the
most cordial support of Mr.. Perham
1t is material results the people seem to be
aiming at this year, and hence this wide diff
ference of opinion, which, on the whole, is
rather healthful. There is no tender senti-
mentality abroad. Romance has died out
Men stand for such men and measures
as will lift off their burdens and make
the wilderness of political struggiings
to blossom with peace and plenty. Hoping
these few lines will find you enjoying the
same great blessings, subscribe myself.
Yours &C., COSMOPOLITE.

those who deprecate a renewal OF strife
upon the questions settled by the fifteenth
Amendment have, peeA to stand together
as in days past. We hoped that the rights
of the colcrea people as now fixed in the
constituffon would be conceded by the
dehnocrscy, and that they would cease the
contest over the negro, but il is not so to
be. They believe that "white mans
party" would give them a good rallyng
cry, and if they dare we shall see it become
plank in their platform. That they can
appeal with success to the enlightened
people of this country upon such an issue
we do not believe, nor that they can sue
coed in bringing together any formidable
degree of strength for re-opening of war
upon the government, but they have their
hopes or they would not be taking steps
leading in that direction. 1t is surprising
that party which calls itself democratic
should TINS fight the most democratic feat
ure in our constitution, but, nevertheless. it
is no more surprising than true. although
we presume some soft shelled members of
the party will deny it.

Delegation ---e.=.-a4..-
The East Maine Conference, the last in the
United States to declare its opinion, has given
vote of A for to IA against. This, with the
surplus available, secures the necessary three
fourths, even though the vote of the Germany
Conference should be unanimously against.
But such vote in Germany is not snpposa-
BILE; on the contrary, all our advices leave us
to expect that the vote of our brethren in Eu-
rope will be unanimously for us. BY sim
gular coincidence, the German Conference
meets this year in one of the cities OF the "a
latinate, the ancestral home of the founders
of American Methodism The circle COM
pletes itself in the spot whence the Palatinates
set forth first for Ireland, and thence in the
persons of their descendants to America.
And so the great debate of fifty years comes
to a peaceful conclusion. The movement,
suppressed in 1928, reappears in 1851, is pro-
nounced inexpedient by the General Confer
ence of 1856, and meets with sufficient favor
from the General Conference oflS66 to obtain a
reference to the vote of the ministry and people.
The Church is not yet ripe for Lay Deiega-
ton; the people and the itinerant ministers
vote it down. Undismayed by defeats, its
friends begin again, and rest not till they win
the Church over to entire acQuiescence IN
their opinions. Beginning with the John
street meeting, in March, 1868, and from
thence to the St. Pauls Convention in New
York thence to the Convention of 1874, the
first ever held simultaneously with a meeting
of General Conference, and the first also to
present direct address to that body; from
thence to the sessions of the Annual Con-
ferences Immediately following, which were
successfully appealed to to ratify the pledge
given by the General Conference; and thence
to the Convention of 1868, also meeting
simultaneously with the General Conference,
and presenting to it second direct appeal, and
finding its sppeal welcomed; and thence to the
recent popular and ministerial votes, the move
ment has found an ever-growing acceptance
of its principles and purposes by the Church.
Its array of friends has increased; its line has
become longer and stronger; they who hastily
cried faction have been effectually silenced.
Here is no faction, but great Church, whose
stations are found in both the old world and
the new ratifyiug and Incorporating into its
pohty fundamental principle of Protestant
Christianity.

DEMOCRACY AGAINST FREE SUE
iHa FRAGE.

The movements of the democratic party
in various parts Of the country show an in
tense hatred to the Fifteenth Amendment.
This feeling crops out in high and low
places in New England as well as in States
which not long ago legalized the sale of
human beings. 1t is evident that democ-
racy is irreconcilably opposed to giving
the colored man the right'to vote, and
would keep him down to the level of sla-
very lift could. The message of Governor
English Of Connecticut, scouting the Fiji
teenth Amendment, pronouncing it fraud
ulent and of no force, is an example of
the view which democrats take Of that i'm
portant addition to our constitution. The
democratic organ of democracy in Phil
adelphia, says that ain city and country
the democratic party is a unit in opposition
to the frandulent and infamous Fifteenth
Amendment. There is not break in the
line" Asdemoeratic candidate for Con-
gress in Maryland calls upon his party to
lay down and spike down as the great dis
tinctive plank in the democratic platform,
THAT the so-calIed Fifteenth Amendment
is not LAWS unconstitutional in manner
and matter--is void and ofno force, and is
not entitled to the obedience of any citizen
of the United States" So we might con-
tinue to multiply proof from every State in
the Union, showing determination on the
part of the democracy to make war upon
the Fifteenth Amendment, denying the
elective franchise to the colored races.
That there is deep purpose underneath
these demonstrations against free suffrage
we cannot doubt. They are not the mere
ebullition of intense partisanship, but the
effect OF matured thought and deep seated
determination tn overturn the suffrage of
the colored people. When such men as
Governor English and democratic candi-
dates for Congress and leading democratic
newspapers start the ball We may be as
sured there is meaning in the movement.
Such movement can mean nothing more
nor less than revolution 1t Proposes to find
