We have read the address OF
the Democratic members Of Con
gress to the people, and the fol-
lowing embodies the platform OF
the party
Our hopes for redress are in the
calm good sense, the ''sober second
thought" Of the American people.
We call upon them to be true to
themselves and their posterity,
and disregarding party names and
minor differences, to insist upon q
decentralization of power, the re-
striction of Federal authority
within its just and proper limits,
leaving to the States that control
over domestic affairs which is es-
sential to their happiness and
tranquility and good government.
Decentralization in the general
government must be insisted on,
and the States have control of
their own domestic affairs. This
is the great duty Of the Demo-
cratic party in a nutshell.

Railroad Lines.

If railroads could be built 10y
series Of resolutions, or by arti-
cles in newspapers, our country
would be a net work OF lines
crossing each other like spider
webs but unfortunately it takes
about $4,000 for each mile OF
road, and it follows that these
railroads on paper generally have
less reality or substance than the
attenuated thread spun by the
ingenious spider.-Daity Shrere-
port Gazette.
No sensible man ever supposed
for one moment that railroads
could be constructed by "resolu-
tions'' or "newspapers.' At tho
same time every thinking man
we'll understands that any pro-
.jected line of road is much talked
of before it is built. This is nee
essary, because men must under
stand before they can act wisely,
and wise men sciN not act until
they do understand. We can't
see the point in the above para
graph. 1t is certainly a loose
remark, meaning nothing, or in
tended to cast reflection upon
the zeal of our people in the
work of internal improvements.
In either case, the Gazette does
injustice to its own columns, and
throws a damper over the very
object it professedly desires.

Getting Scared.

growing opposition to its master
when it refuses to announce the
meetings of Republican clubs be-
cause known to be opposed to
him. At least we are crcdibly
informed that the organ refused
to publish notices of meetings Of
Republican clubs of this charac-
ter in the Second and Seventh
Wards, and gave no reason for
such refusal And we are further
informed that it refused to pub
lish the resolutions Of the Twelfth
Ward Republican Club because
they endorsed the national and
not the State administration

The Freedom of Speech Denied.

The fact can no longer be de-
MED that freedom of speech and
honest difference in opinion is no
longer tolerated in this city, so
far as relates to the powers that
be. Mob law rules the hour.
Thugs, DULLES and pardoned con
yicts are masters of the situation.
In proof of this, we need but refer
to the disgracctul, riotous scenes
that were enacted at the National
Hall on Wednesday night and at
the Tentl. Ward Club on Thurs
day night.
Having been Informed by a
friend that the police had given
ont that they were to break mp
the anti-Warmoth CInb in the
Tenth Ward, we sent Il special
reporter to the scene OF anticipa
ted disorder. He did not reach
there until half past eight, when
he tonnd Il bedlam gotten mp ON
4 somewhat extensive scale. The
WarmOthites were in force ON one
side of the club room, Composed
principally of police, with Il few
Of1icials,) and the anti-WarnOth
ties on the other. Business had
been suspended, and each faction
was yelling. and Bullying for the
ascendancy.
At this stage OF the riotons pro
ceeding Gen. Kirby attempted to
make a speech, but was hooted
down and silencel by the rioters
with the cry OF, "Resolutions or
blood - Another gentleman at
tempted to speak and he was ST
fenced by savage yelis OF, "Pro-
ducc the resolutions or we'll make
you swallow your teeth.' And
this is the freedom Of speech
guaranteed to the citizens Of the
best government the world ever
saw. What has become Of the
Force Bill? Where is the L. $.
Marshal?
During the confusion created
by the rioters, a number of alter
cations occurred, but none Of a
serious character, which was no
doubt much regretted by the po-
lice in disguise, as they had a re-
serve force in hailing distance.
About nine o'clock the rioters
broke up the meeting by putting
out the lights.
These oft-repeated outrages
should command the attention Of
our citizens generally. 1t is an
evidence that the plunderers and
oppressors intend to maintain
their power at any and all haz-
ards. San Francisco was once
similarly afflicted. The people
rose in their might and rid them
selves of the thugs, bullies, thieves,
ballot boX-stutters and reporters
who had assumed control of pnb-
lie affairs. Since then, that city
has been quiet and orderly. Like
causes will produce like Effects
