THE DELIRIUM TREMENs DEMoCRAcY.-
The attempt of respectable and wise por-
ton Of the Democracy to prepare a new plat
form, and adopt new policy more in accord
ance with the results of the war, including
negro suffrage and equal rights meets with
opposition In many quarters. The La Crosse
Democrat, Brick Pomeroy's paper, aptly
termed by contemporary as the organ of the
delirium tremens democracy denounces Mr..
John Quincy Adams recent appeal to his
fellow-democrats to accept the political situa-
ton, and seek victory on new issues. 1t GER
tainly gives very little encouragement for
such reformation of the democratic party as
will render toerable to the country the idea
of its possible return to power.
John Quincy Adams, lineal descendant
of the old federalisl, and the recognized lead
er of the so-called MASSACHUSETTS democracy ,
declares for universal suffrage"-nigger,
chinee, babOon and polecat ballot-pOking; Is
in favor OF dropping the doctrine of state
rights; and urges the South to .accept the
situatiOn;" recognize the validity of all the
Jacobin hellionisms, and cease struggling over
"dead issues" A genuine Yankees like a
mue-raise him where you will, and as you
will; In Asia, Africa, Europe, America or
Polynesia; stuff him with clean or filthy fod
Ger; bed him in a stable or palace; and
wherever you find him and whatever his
complexion may be, there's always a black
stripe from the tip of his nose to the founda-
ton Of bis caudal appendage. And yet there
be lunatics who prate of the oneness, the
common origin OF white men and Yanks-
idiots, who gabble of perpetual union be-
tween them! Talk of an indissoluble union of
oil and water, light and darkness. Rave OF
an undivorceable wedding of Chicago she and
hoosier he. Rant of ten thousand other i'm
probabilities, impossibilities and absurdites.
But when you eibber of the "unity of the
race" the common destiny" the "unsevera-
BILE union" of Puritan pumpkin eaters, psalm
shifting Yankee humbugsers, hypocritical,
thieving, niggerized PlymOuth-rockites, and
true, honest, unadulterated Caucasians. %

The NY. TIMES exposes the rasoaities of
tie Brooklyn ring, comments on Jay Gould's
contempt Of couit aud Marshal Bezaine, and
has the following:
In brief, the city and county of New York
has been robbed, In three years, Of thirty odd
millions of dollars, and the Erie road Of sixty
millons-the first sum being foisted upon the
taxpayers and savings banks OF New York In
the shape of bonds, and the last upon the road
in the shape of stock, which, from the magni-
tude OF the overissues. has rendered the origi-
nal capital almost worthless. A further rob-
berry ot the city treasury of sixteen millions OF
dollars Is now in contemplation, and to this
iniquity the trustees for the savings Of people
are expected 10 be again party. They held,
when the plumber to which we have referred
took its most alarming shape, in New York
and Brooklyn, only 1S,S72,0O of city and
county bonds. They now hold $49, ,764 900, and
1t is plain to be seen that without this whole
sale diversion of the money oftheir depositors
to the help ofTweed and his sconfederates, the
pnblic would have been better advised Of these
rapid strides to over whelming debt. The
bonds of the city could not have been market
ed In such enormous sums without depre-
citation in price likely to attract attention, or
without alarming the holders Of pre-existing
obligations.

This is one of the most northerly settled

water power, at present but partially employed.
The township was owned by Mr.. Moses Brown,
Of Newburyport from whom ir derived its
name, several Of whose descendants are now
living here The soil Is generally good, pro-
ducing large crops Of hay, grain and potatoes.
aud, in favorable seasons, Of corn. The princi-
pal source of income, however, Is the

OF which there are four now being worked.
The Bangor and Piscataquis quarry, under the
superintendence of Mr.. VIM. Sparrow, former

sixty men are employed when in full opera

the same quality. The slate from these two
quarries fiHds ready market at remunerative
prices. In the eastern part OF the town the
Highland Slate Company have opened quar-
ry, from which, as yet, but little profit has been
realized. Another was started about the same
time in the same neighborhood, which Is aban-
doned for the present. About $4,000 year

quarIies.

Rev. GEO. L. WALKER, d. D.-The Prov.
idence Journal in an article on the Centre
Church of New Haven, Conn.,, thus speaks of
Rev. DR., Walker for so many years pastor OF
State Street Church In this city:
DR.. Walkers exceptional experience has
produced its specific fruits. He can Justly bs
compared with none. His standpoint Is sin
gular, hence naught that Is common place
proceeds from his lips. His language is class
ic. his delivery elegant. His text Is always
fecitously expounded, and the theme educed
generally one little anticipated, but yet logl-
cally most relevant. His analysis Is always
clear and simple. His discourses are rarely
doctrinal, that is, In the sense ofdogmaiie or
theological, but ever fraught with deep relig-
ious thought. He Is never sensational, but
ever most earnest and direct. illustrative
and imaginative passages, although plenteous,
are never introduced for their own sake. He
appeals chiefly to the moral sensibilites aud
conscience while yet there Is a rich variety to
his sermons. The suffering and bereaved es-
pecially listen to hIs words with delight. His
friends are most warmly attached to him; bis
enemies-he has none. He displays great in
dependence in the selection of bis positions,
but quietly maintains them. Middlebury con-
ferred the degree of Master of Arts In 1883,
and Yale that Of Doctor Of Divinity In 1870.
