Rev DIR. Fletcher has gone to
Plantsyille, Conn, to be absent four
weeks, to further re-establish his health,
where he can have perfect quiet and re-

Rev. Dr. Walker has gone to Mas

Mr.. O. L. Thomas recently removed
to Wallingford, and intends to make it
his future home. He will be al acquisi-

house painter and grainer. He is also as
much at home in hanging wall paper
and the like. We have examined speci-
mems of his workmanship and can COM
mend him to all who have any of this
kind of work to do.
As the picnic season is approaching,
and pleasure excursions will soon be the
order of the day, we take the liberty of
suggesting Wallingford as just the place
for such visitations. Everything is beau
tiful and attractive in and about the
place. The scenery is grand and lovely,
combining mountain, and valley, and
river. There is splendid grove of old
and lofty sugar NAPLES, just south of
the village, on the land of w. w. Kel-
ley, which is easy of access and capable
of sheltering from 500 to 1000 persons
under its leafy canopy: 1t has been
used a number of years for this purpose.

greeley ON Democratic Ascendency

In 1854 the Democratic party, being
bitterly opposed to the war for the sup
preston of the rebellion, endeavored to
steal into power and purchase peace at
any price. This they attempted to do
by the nomination of Gen. Mcclellan, q
war Democrat, hoping thereby to secure
enough votes from the war Democrats
and republicans to ensure his election,
and by the aid of a Congress, elected at
the same time, purchase peace Of armed
rebels This is precisely what the dem
ocrats are endeavoring to do now. They
hope to draw enough republican votes
from Grant to elect Greeley and at the
same time secure 3 Democratic Congress.
Mr.. Greeley evidently had some such con-
tlngency in his mind, but, ST course, not
expecting himself to be the candidate,
when he said, in February, 1871;
owe like General Grant hut we care
far more for Republican ascehdency
than for any mans personal fortunes.
1t is in our view of great importance
that the opposition shall be kept out of
power
For a Democratic national triumph
means a restoration to power of those
who deserted their seats in Congress and
th air places under the last Democratic
President to plunge the country into the
Red Sea Of Secession and Rebellion.
Though you paint an inch thick, to this
complexion you must come at last. The
brain. the heart, the soul, of the present
Democratic party is the rebel element at
the South with its Northern allies and
svmpathlzers. II is rebel at the core
to-day.
''It would hail the election of a Dem
oeralic President in 1912 as Il virtual re-
versal Of the AppomattoX surrender. It
Nou!d come into power with the bate,
iao chagrin, the wrath, the modification,
af ten bitter years, to impel and guide
its steps. 1t would hail the tidings of
national bankruptcy with unal!oyed glad
ness and unconccaled eXultation. What
eyer chastisement may he deserved by
our national sins, we most hope THAI
this disgrace and humiliation viii be
spared us.

the Church by the Government of Italy
violate morality and justice. Only re-

votes to Greeley, and then, if he is elect

HORACE GREELEY on DEMOCRACY
Here is Horace Greeley's opinion of the
Democracy, as expressed by himself
through the columns Of the New York
Tribune:
For the last thirty years, every Am
erican STAKEHOLDER on the African coast
has accounted himself in politics a Dem
ocrat. So every one who chooses to live
by pugilism, or gambling, or harlOtry,
with nearly every keeper of tippling
house, Is politically Democrat. He
believes in ''Jajsses .taire"-''that the
world is governed too much'-that "the
best government is that which governs
least He wants '.his trade to move
without restriction. He joyfully sub
scribes to the World, and echoes its cry,
LET the people eat, drink and amuse
themselves as they see fit, so long as
they do not infringe on the same liberty
in others. A purely selfish interest at
taches the lewd, ruffianly, criminal and
dangerous classes to the Democratic
party, by the instinct of self-preserva-
1ion-the preservation of their right to
make gain of others degradation.
And now Mr.. Greeley is sycophan-
sjshly clinging to the skirts of those same
-lewd. ruffianly, criminal and dangerous
classes and begging them III piteous ac-
cents to make him their candidate for
ibe Presidency Was there ever spec
tacle more contemplate Did ever a
,aan in quest of Office degrade himself to
II lower level in its pursuit?

PRoGREss OF THE HoosAC Tunnel. =
Work on the eastern end of the Hoosac
tunnel had advanced, last Saturday,
l0,500 feet from the portal, and there
remained / $50 feet between the eastern
heading and the central shaft eastern
heading. The rock is softer as work
advances, and as five or six feet are
made each day at either heading of the
eastern division, the superintendent con-
tidently expects to have apassage through
this division by January next On the
western division there yet remain about
1900 feet to tunnel. Work, temporarily
suspended, west of central shaft, on ac-
count of water, will soon be resumed.
THE RUINED SoUTH.-The report of
the Bureau of Agriculture shows that
the ruined South has larger average of
cotton to-day than ever before. Ruin
seems to agree with that section Of the
Union.
