The Wool Interest.

Although the wool trade is prac-
tically over, so far as the producer
is concerned, for the year 1871, q
close scrutiny of the condition OF
the trade at present and during the
past season may be of decided in
terest to the wool-growers during
the coming season. During the
past wool season an apparent DIS
crspancy between the current sup
ply of wool and Its market value
was observable, demonstrating that
while the prices ranged unusually
high, the supplys OF both domestic
aud foreign woods were largely in
excess of those OF the previous year.
This condition of the market still
continues, to q very great extent.
There has been but little change in
the figures established at tho be-
ginning OF the season. which were
established under a widespread
rnmor of a short supply and a re-
duced clip, and still the supply OF
wool coming to hand is beyond all
precedent of recent date. The tol-
lowing statement of the receipts
aud imports at New York and Bos>
ton, the TWO principal wool mar.
kets of the country. from the let Of
June to the 1st Of October, CON-
pared with those of last year, viii

season OF 1871. They are as follow

behring's of the Republicans, it ought
to have been able to have shown clean
hands IN such matters. instead of 9TH
erwise, remembering that it is safer to
trust a thief already glutted with
plumber. than it is a hungry one that
has had but a taste. Further, the
Democratic party is exceedingly odious
even to its adherents. The last Ma
tional Convention, by nominating
Seymour. damned it forever in the
minds of many. Then its oscillations,
of late years, on all questions of party
principle and doctrine. has sown
broadcast the seeds of disintegration.
We repeat, that it is no wonder that it
has been so badly and universally de-
feated, and that many are advocating
an abandonment of the old and rotten
tug.
In our own County of Morgan we
hear growlings and mutter;ngs that
suggest abandonment. One of the
leading Democrats, and one too that
has always favored a straight party
ticket, said to us. a day or two since,
that he was opposed to any further
Democratic nominations In this Coun-
ty. and that he did not believe 1t
would be possible to get good men to
run on such a ticket. He said that
he, for one, was tired of seeing good
men set up as a mark to be shot at.

THE.DEMOCRACY.

We call the attention of the pemoc-
racy 10 an article from the st. Louis
Republican, found on the outside of
this paper. The Republican is the
leading Democratic paper of Missouri,
and its u~tterances are of great weight
with the party in that section.
From the tenor of the article, it is
evident that there prevails a convic-
ton among leading Democratic minds,
that the Democratic party is a de-
funct institution, a. far as succeeding
at the polls is concerned, and, also,
these leading minds are evidently tir-
ed of setting up tickets and conduct
ing campaigns when defeat is always
certain to follow. THIS conviction of
the uselessness- of attempting to
place the Democratic party in power
was manifest in the "new departure"
resolutions of the party in Ohio, and
in other States, this year; and, now,
that such universal defeat has follow
ed, we are not surprised to e a
movement On foot looking to a gene
raj dissolution and abandonment OF
the party.

Legal suasion Needed.

That eminent mirIster, Rev. Al
bert Barnes, held very decided views
with regard to the iniquItous liquor
traffic. Would that all the profession
would as boldly speak out against
the enemy of religion, the family

There is a class of mon, and
those most deeply interested in tho
matter, that you can eve influence

selves the faster.

PROHIBIT.
TION CONVENTION.
49, Delegates Present-A Full
State Ticket Nominated.

A State Prohibition Convention
was held in Boston on the fourth
lust. 139 towns were represented
by 735 delegates. Great interest
was manifested. The following
State Ticket was nominated:
For Governor-Hon. Robert G.
PItman.
Lieutenant Governor-Hon. Eli
phalet Trask.
Secretary of State-Geo s. Ball.
Tre1surer-yohn 1. Baker.
Attorney Generai-samuel D.
Field.
AudItor--Ezrn 9. Conant.
Hon. Whiting Griswold was
President of the Convention.
The platform adopted lays down
the fundamental principles of Pro-.
hibition IN the three first resolu-
tons. Succeeding these are the
following: +.
RESOLVED, That We are proud of
the fact that eight thousand SIX
hundred and ninety-two of the vo-
ters Of Massachusetts,, left their old
party relations at the last election,
and gave their ~suffrages to new
party, represented by Mnssachu-
sets most eloquent orator, and by
his able advocates, and thus declare
ed to ihe State that the time had
come for the creation of a New
Party devoted 10 the Abolition OF
the second and not inferior Amsri-
can Slavery which holds millions
in It's chains.
ResolUed, That the leading politi-
cal party of this Stats having re-
fused to put. Prohibition into ITS
platform, and having nominated
upou Its ticket men active in de-
Tending and propagating extreme
anti-temperance views, it is un-
worthy of the further support of
temperance men; and, we therefore
call upon all snch to join the only
party that can advance the cause
they love, to final victory.
RESOLVED, That no leaders, howev-
er worthy or capable, can separate
themselves from the party they
lead, and all expectation of a more
perfect ENVIRONMENT from such per-
SOM and larLies will utterly fail.
ResolUed, That the Beer Law is
the offspring of a corrupt competI-
lion for the liquor vote; that it is a
txud, a deception, q cheat a dis
grace ard q disaster, and should be
blotted. from the statutes of the COM
monwealth.
Other resolutions were adopted,
in favor of an economical adminis>
tration of the State Government,
inviting the aid of laboring men
and women. commencing the Bos-
ton Daily Neps to general support,
and approving of the candidates
put in nomination as true and tried
men.
The Ne,Ds says that Prohibition
lists Will never support the Reput-
lican party until it becomes a Pro-
hibitory party, and shat they will
Eot be associates with license men.
1t says to Republican managers
+"You may prime the party nomina-
tions and trim its platform as much
as you please, but until your acton
IS such as to be distasteful TO rum
sellers, .ProhibItionists will stay
out. Ii You prefer the former, all
right, the latter are content, but
this they are determined that the
time shall come when you will ask
them to come back. You cannot
have the votes of l%icense-law men
and of Prohibitionists."

THE RESULT.

country, may feel gratiHed over tint
result of TIE election. Although
every appliance known To the poli-
ticians Of the old parties, was resor-
ted to to keep men from voting our
ticket. yet we show IN increase in
strength. In the State, we have
undoubtedly polIed fully five thou>
sand votes, judging from such mea-
gre returns as the old party papers
give of our vote, ard this Is an in
crease of two thousand over last
year, something that every Prohi-
iionist can DO proud of and rejoice
at. The campaign was n of
those that must always press hard
est upon a new party, such as ours,
and il Is a little remarkable that
we have been able 10 come out of
II in the manner we have. Moth
ing but the righteousness of our
principles, commencing them
selves, as they do, to every good
mans heart, has enabled Us TO do
30. The campaign was one Of gu
gantrc Importance to the old politi-
cal parties, involving not only a U.
s. Senatorship, but also the re-dis-
tricting of the State for the election
Of Congressman, and also its in
fluenco upon the approaching Pres
identIal election. 1t Is not strange
that the old party orators and pa
pers were able to re,arouse old par
ty animosIties and hatreds, and,
thereby, send the great mass of the
people to the ballot box blinded by
old party passions.
Here, in Morgan County, our
party had more to contend with,
probably, than 1T had in any other
portion of the State, and yet we
shJw an increase Of from ten to
twenty three votes On the State
ticket. The Republicans, by put
ting forward Richard Stanton tor
Representative, were able to make
many believe the Republican party
TO be a temperance party, and ma
ny votes we're thereby kept within
that party that otherwise would
have been cast for Prohibition. Al
so, there was a prevailing opinion
here that the Democrats were
about to get into power in this
County, and This prevented men of
both the old parties from coming to
us-the Republicans being actua-
ted by hatred of their old enemies,
and the Democrats by a sorry hope
that they had an export unity for
revenge. Besides, the old party
politicians. on both sides. for days
before the election, were cIrcula-
ting reports that this and that man
had "gone back on Prohibition"
and many believing them, were in
duet-d to vote their old party tick
cts. So, 1t will be seen thst the
Prohibitlonlsts of Morgan had
much to contend with beside the
general issues mentioned IN the
above paragraph. and they may
feel proud of their ability to in
crease their vote.
Speaking for ourself, we feel
we'll satisfied with the result of the
election. Our party has received
as many accessions as could have
reasonably been expected, if not
as many as we had wished. The
Republican party is left in power,
and it will have ample opportunity
to prove Its claims to being & tsm-
perance party. We hope it may
do so, tor the sake ofthe thousands
that are crying out in their misery
for protection against the liquor
traffic. But if it don't, then the
people must Judge it.

The New York Daily Bulletin, In
a well prepared article on the wool
interest, says that from the imports
and domestic receipts it will be
seen that taking New York and
Boston together the imports since
June 1st are 40, ga bales above
those Of last year, and that, on the
receipts of domestic there Is an in
crease of SO 80 bales; making an
excess owe last year, on domestic
and foreign combined, of "A, 1854
bales. Now when it is considered
that this increase Is at the rate OF
ff.y per cent, it does seem para
doxical to talk ola scarcity" OF
wool, and the present frmness of
prices at high quotations appear
equally incomprehensibls. We can
not but suspect that the market is
propped by artificial SUPPORTS
which are designed to be strongly
tested by the course of the money
market during the next few weeks.
