THE DANGER.

4
At no time since the formation OF
our government have free institutions
been in so much peril. Coeval with
the adoption of the Constitution there
was born a party of which the Radi-
calls of to-day are the legitimate off
spring Alex. Hamilton was its cham
pion then. Charles Sumher is it's lead
ing spirit now. II seems rs though
the seeds of destruction were sown at
the very time the nation was ushered
into existence. Radicalism has grown
with the country's growth, and ripen-
led with its age. What was then bud
is now in bloom. Tho speck on the
far away horizon has grown to the pro-
portions of q sky in anger until the
very foundation OF free American gov
ernment are being shaken by the ter
rible convulsion that environ! it. All
the Democratic statesman from Thorn
as Jefferson down have warned the
people of the wrath that was surely to
come. Those warnings time has made
prophetic-those prophecies have be-
come stern realities, and to-day we are
standing upon the very brink of ma
tional disintegration. For ten years
has the party in power been busily en-
gagged in forging the chains for over
thirty millions of freemen. For ten
years has Congress been passing the
most oppressive and unjust laws that
ever disgraced the pages of any statute
book. For ten years have Radical
Judges been rendering the most infa-
nous decisions that ever polluted the
ermine in any country under the sun.
The passiveness with which the Amer
lean people bear all these encroach-
nsnts on their most sacred rights is
truly alarming, for it augurs that the
, problem of self-goyernment cannot be
/ solved by the Americans of to-day
, Ii we consider the depreciation of the
$ ballot-box-the result of universal
suffrage-the destruction of State
rights-by Congressional usurpation
and legislation if we consider the
enormous taxes under which the ma
ton Is groaning-and the centraliza-
ton OF power in the Federal courts
; by reason of the workings of the
) Bankruptcy Active are forced to con-
clude that American freedom will soon
be n matter of the past. and that I'VE
have already witnessed the beginning
OF the end of the best government the
sun ever shown upon. Very few people
take time TO reflect upon the terrible
| achievements that have been made
, over our free government in one short
, decade. It is pitiable to reflect upon
$ the immense differences which have
: been introduced by SO short an inter
; val OF years; TO contemplate the de-
plorable events that separate this gen
Grafton from that of Washington, Ad.
ans and Jefferson. 1t is impossible
. to forget what the nation was and not
to realize to what it has come. 1t has
not been n succession of apparently
&. unimportant events, ,distribntedth thr ugh
C long succession of years, that has
: brought this change. 1t is the worl
Of single generation one has suf
feed to separate the nation by impass
able CULTS and unreasonable distances
, from the place where the feet of Tho
' young Republic were planted. W.
: must have almost completed the circl:
t of revolutions, if it be true that the,
e never go backwards.

We call attention. to our Portland let
ter. 1t vindicates Col. Kelley and Mr.
Slater from the Radical charge Of stand
ing on the Fay letter. We also see il
stated in the the Salem Press that Mr.
Hayden, in his recent Dallas speech, :'de-
pied that he or his party were in favor
Of or pledged to reputation, as all the
lying [Hayden's language, certainly. !
Radical newspapers OF the State will per-
sist in bowling; that he held the same
views as Pendleton, Voorhees, and the
leading Democrats of the Union"
This pretty efectaally disposes of the
misrepresentation of the Radical press
the very audaeity and persistency ofwhicf
for time threatened to. harm us. And
now, having drawn the .:enemy's FIRE, VIC
have five full weeks left in which to pros.
ecute an aggressive warfare into the yer,
heart of Africa.

THE PROOF.

As cumulative testimony, to the
proposition advanced by us in our last
issue, that the cry of reputation by
the Radicals was simply a trick, we
quote the following from the Oregon
ian of the 21st:
In an article published the other day, in which
We spoke of decrials of the pub, q credi, during
the war by Democrats we did no mean, of course,
to include that honorable class of Democrats who
hare always upheld the honor and credit of the
country, and who nov, revolt from tie infamy OF
the Albany platform. We meant only that class
who would sink thc honor and credit Of the coun
try ut the behcst Of party, and Who hate the na-
tienal debt because it contracted in struggle
foS ths Union in which the Southern Confederaey
was overthroWn. This is the class of men who
lead the Democratic party in Oregon to-day.
From the above it must be manifest
that the Oregonian wants uotes, and
with the utmost urbanity extends the
olive branch to "that honorable class
OF Democrats who have always upheld
the honor and credit of the country. ="
When "that honorable class of Demo
crats." of which the Oregonian makes
mention, goes over to the support OF
Radicalism there will 99-10O of the
party have joined them. Is the Ore
gonian serious when it indulges the
hope that the masses of the Denocra-
cy can be caught by such chaff? if SO
we pity it from the bottom of ou,
heart No hope ever was more illuso-
y-no attempt more idle than this
'ssweet briar" effort to gull sensible
men

SnciaIIifc In China.

In China man and wife never walk
together arm-n-arm in public, or even
side by side hut the wife always follows
her lord at respectful distance, as the
women always do among the American
Indians. At social parties the sexes SIT
at different tables, occupying separate
rooms and visiting only among them
selves. Strangers of opposite sexes are
never introduced, nor do the women
ever speak OF the men, unless relatives
or intimate associates Of the family.
There is no such thing as social life, in
our sense of the word, among the Chr
nesc, and all their social and domestic
theories and practices are based on the
idea of woman'S inferiority and lnslg-
niticancc.
They are a~tomi>hed to see the free
dom and equality allowed between the
sexes among Europeans, and argue
strcnuou.ly against it; and, when van
uui~hed in the argument, they reply
with their usual stubbornncss and per
tinacity: May he good Englishman;
Chinaman, no good.
Since the coming Of European ladies
into China, some Of their own women
have BEGUN to entertain some little idea
of their rights, and it is now become a

SpOts Oh the sun.

From the Louisville t0uri"r-J"urnalI
During the clear weather Of last week
mlitc a number OF telescopes went III
search of spots ON the sun. With a low
power of the telescope more than twenty
were visible Near the upper edge of
the sun two or three distinct spots were
seen. and faint cluster near the lower
border: while over the left half OF the
disk stretched group of vast dlmen-
sions The latter seemed to consist of
two parts slightly united, the entire
chain appearing 10 the eye to have
alength equal at least to two-thlrds
of the radius of the sun, or about 3D.
600 miles. The spots ia this group
showed the dark umbra very distinctly.
When viewed with high power the
larger spots looked like huge craters,
intensely dark in the center, and were
overhung at their borlers by the Iuml-
nous matter OF the sun, shaped like
rice-SrainS. Immense waves of this
luminous matter, termed tdviG, were
everywhere visible around these spots.

cessful as well as very bold His
broker was one of the heaviest houses
in New York. One day the senior
partner of the house said to the opera
tor, do you know how much cash we
have to your credit The man replied

a little piece Of advice, Take out
Of this house five hundred thousand
dollars; buy fine house on Fifth
avenue furnish it complete and settle
it on your wife. Salt down the balance
in Government securities; take your
wife, 20 abroad, and get out of the street
for six months The man could not
do that for he had gigantic speculations
on hand, and when they were completed
he would think about it. In four
months from that time the operator
was pennile-s, and il now working a
