We may here mention fact which present
ed itself very forcibly to our minds, and
from which the West should take lesson,
viz. that Massachusetts, furnishes greater
number Of men Of intelligence, ability and
wealth, in sympathy with the Labor Re-
form movement than any other State in the
Union.
On Saturday morning, having little leis-
ure, we paid flying visit to Stoneham, the
home Of Miss Martha Walbridge, the tai
ented and wide awake controlling spirit Of
the Daughters Of st. Crispin. in whose
company we enjoyed a ride of nearly
twenty miles, through a muir Der Of the pic.

is 50 famous, and from whom we learned
much of interest to the craft. To her self.
sacrificing devotion and sterling common
sense. the Daughters Of St. Crispin owe a
debt a debt Of gratitude which can never
be repaid. As an evidence that her efforts
have been appreciated, at the annual Con-
vention held 10 New York few weeks
since, she was unanimously reelected to a
position which she had he'd with honor to
herself and benefit to the order.
We returned Just in time to shake hands
with the delegates, the Convention having
adjourned. In company with friends, we
took the New York and Erie Ra broad for
Fall River, where the ''PRovIDENCE," a
veritable floating palace, was in waiting to
convey us to New York The trip down
Long Island Sour1 is one possessing un-
rivaled charms, and once enjoyed can never
be forgotten. In the morning, the bay, il
bay it can be called, is literally swarming
with coaSting vessels, so as to make it
almost difficult for the leviathan to pick her
way. The view Of Fort Schuyler is par
ticularly fine; but on, on we 90. Nearer
and nearer the metropolis appears. Here
we are at He'll Gate--Gen Newton's mon
ument on to Blackwell's Island, Jones
Wood, and at last at our destination, at the
foot Of Chambers street
In New York we are once more at home.
A visit to the Central Park, Jones' Wood,
Cooper Institute, and City Hall, where
we meet Coroner Young, who cody informs
US he hos five cases on hand, occupies
part of our time, business the other. Among
the calls made is one on Pliny Freeman,
Esq, President OF the Globe Insurance
Company, under whose guidance it has be
come one Of the strongest and most sue,
cessful institutions on the American con
tineut, and who is withal one of the ables

A Western Democratic paper asks its
party what is to be gained by voting for
Radical principles under the name of
newdeparture Democracy.
The services of three hundred and six
teen assistant assessors of internal reven
ue were dispensed with since the first of
January last, and further reduction of
one hundred and fifty is estimated during
the present month. At low estimate,
the reduction already made will effect
saving in assessing revenue of over $500,
900 per annum. Secretary Boutwell, says
there will be no appointment made for

The Albany Evening Journal says:
Two months ago General Grant was
sharply criticized in some Republican
quarters. To-day much of this criticism
is disarmed, and the President is unaues-

party and before the people than he was
then.
The Pittsburg Gazette says: ''There
is not a line in our short but interesting

of the first colony, in 1906. down to the

rine of state sovereignty to be fraught
with danger to the country. 1t did not
succeed in colonial times; it was fraught
with danger to the Revolution; it almost
pafalyzed the Confederacy; it brought
on the war Of rebellion against the Union
and it is Keeping the country in perpet-
ual ferment."

From the La Cross Democrat.

Hale, Val. and all your elan. Depart
in peace. We sincerely hope. that no man
will remain behind that prefers success to
honor. Away every miserable creature
who would barter the truth and princi-
pies of Democracy for chance to win an
election and handle the spoils of Office.
We rejoice at the new departure, for
we feel that our party is to be healthier
and purer for it. For every Democrat
that steps out upon Valiandigham stag
ing, ten honest Republicans will seek
shelter under the Democratic banner and
constitutional law.
Clement L. Vallandigham may have
been paid sufficient price by the Radi-
cal managers to warrant him In kneellng g
down and kissing their foot prints and
confessing in behalf Of a party he does
not, never has and never can represent,
that Democracy is failure, crime;
that our struggles during the past ten
years FOR law, liberty, peace and honor
were all in vain, and that now we must
turn all Radicals to become acceptable to
the people. Bah!
Eight years since Vallandigham was a
power in Ohio; but by indiscretion he
lost the respect of large number of the
American people In his recent flip flap
to regain it he has lost the confidence
aud respect of all Democrats and awak-
ened nothing but disgust in the hearts
of all Republicans. Calm the coroner.
The Savannah Republican says: 1.-The
new amendments to the Constitution are
practically and utterly destructive to every
thing wearing the favor of states right.
It therefor follows aaeritabh that no true
Democrat can subscribe to the fourteenth
and fifteenth amend ments, or consent to
accept them as irreversible facts.
The Dubuque Times thinks the Ohio
platform looks good deal more like

patient On his right side, where he lay
as white as the sheet upon which he
rested. He was calm and collected.
1t appears that no one was present
with Vallandigham when the accident
occurred but lieutenant Governor
McBurney, who has been associated with
him in the defense of Mcclellan. Nc
Burney had expressed some doubts as to
the theory that Meyers had shot himself,
and Vallandigham picked up pistol
from the table, saying he would show
him in half a second. Two pistols were
on the table, one unloaded, and he, by
mistake, picked up the loaded one. He
put it in his pocket and withdrew it, keep
ing the muzzle next to his body just as it
was leaving his pocket it was discharged,
the ball entering it is said, near the same
place Myers was shot. He at once ejacu-
lated, ''Oh murder!'' and said he had
taken the wrong pistol.
While the examination was going on,
he watched the surgeons at work with
Eager eyes, and even assisted them in
their search for the ball. The locality of
the ball is not known. 1t appears to
have taken downward course, in the
the direction of the bladder

volutions of the screw There is great
commOtion in the water, and tremen-

it has not moved foot. SO the Vallan-
digham party is resolving chat the Demo
Gratis mast make fresh start. ignore the
old issues, accept negro suffrage, and
stop debating the Constitutional Amend
ments, until theyeget into power; while
the more eutspoken politicians, like Car
lisle, Democratic candidate for Lieute-
nant Governor of Kentucky, are careful
to explain that this is only an apparant
abandonment which really abandons no
thing; they accept the amendments Low
because they cannot help themselves,
but they viii test Them in the courts
whenever they get chance, and if the
courts hold them valid they will insist
upon their repeal That is to say, the
party does not change either it's princi-
Piles or its aims; it only modifes its plat
form to suit the popular prejudices of
the hour The paddles are revolving
beautifully, but the boat is fast to the
dock.
Mr. Carlisle's departure which does
not depart, is mach more comprehensi-
ble than the programme of Vallandig-
ham and The World. 1t is merely an
agreement not to say anything shocking
until the campaign is over, and then to
carry out the old Democratic principle of
to equal rights in whatever
way may seem most convenient and af-
fectual. But if the hawsers should be
cast off, and the vessel allowed really to
move in the direction Mr.. Vallandigham
is trying to point it, we don't see what
use there would be for any Democratic
party at all. On great questions of ma
tional concern the Democrats would have
acknowledged that Republicanism is the
orthodox political creed, and the Demo-
cracy for the past twenty years a pestI-
lent heresy. There would not be diffe r.
ence enough in the platforms of the two
save on the lmpotent
Democratic effort at trepudiation, to make
the next campaign worth fighting. Both
parties would hold substantially the same
faith; and as the people would naturally
trust the profe ssors of that faith, who
had held to-it through good report and
and through evil report, in the darkness
of battle and in the sunshine of prosperi-
ty, rather than new converts whose sim
ceritv was yet untried, it does seem as if
the Democrats might as well spare them
selves the trouble of making any nomi-
nations. But we suspect it will be found
that the vessel has been tied pretty tight
at all the time. ~ Y Tribune.

DEATH OF AN OLD EDITOR The death
Of Edwin Droswell, on the 18TH, in Prime
ton, New Jersey, at the age of IS years
is announced. He was for many years
the editor of the Albany Argus, which,
during his et,itorship, was the leading
Democratic organ of New York, and per-
haps of the Eastern and Middle states.
He belonged to the Van Buren, Wright
and Nancy school of peliticans, and was
TO the Democratic party what Thurlow
Weed, then editor OF the Albany Jour
nal, was to the Wing party. He was an
able writer. a shrewd politician, and a
most faithful partisan leader. He was
very skillful in conducting his paper, and
made it paperin his party. In his death
we are reminded of the fact that nearly
all of the remarkable knot of politicians
and statesmen who controlled the great
Democratic party of twenty-five years
ago, that shaped the policy of the coun-
try and that bound the old political era to
the new, have departed
