A leading editorial in the Portland Press,
a few days since, contained the following
extraordinary paragraph;
''When the Union men of the South who
were being prosecuted, scourged, driven from
their homes, and murdered by the Ku-Klux,
appealed to the Government for protection,
Mr.. Blaine said ''let us send Congressional
committee to investigate, and report to Con-
gress mex. year, when we will discuss the
whole matter, and see what we can do to pro-
tect our friends-if we then have any to pro-
tect."
Will the Press be good enough to state
when or where Mr.. Blaine ever used the lam
guage which it thus puts in his mouth? We
take the responsibility of denying that on any
occasion or at any time Mr. Blaine ever used
such language or anything that could be tor
tured into such meaning. The Press will, of
course, see the propriety of making suitable
correction.

ge is legacy handed down by demo-

age Is legacy handed GOWN by demO-
cratic administrations. He endured it
while democrat without murmur.
Forty years he and his party bore it reso-
lutely, maintaining it against all opposi-
ton. When the republicans came into
power they endeayored to change and cor
rect the system, but it was so rooted by
the long and watchful care OF the democ-
racy that it was found hard task At
length plan Of reform has been adopted.
The President has declared that he will do
ali he can to promote it. Congress favors
it. It has gone into effect with the ap-
probation and support of the republican
party. This ought to satisfy Mr.. Pendle-
ton on that point, if anything will But
the democracy are in a grumblng mood,
and will not be contented with reason or
justice.
One thing. is pretty evident from Mr..
Pendleton's letter, that is, that he is no
friend of the passive policy. He does not
intend to lend a hand to haul down the
colors of the party to a faction of republic
cans. He means that the party shall have
candidate known to be a democrat.
Undoubtedly he will be somewhat accom-
modating and liberal in the adoption Of a
platform, but it must carry one OF the
stock that never changes, and cast off any
approach to mongrelisn in the candidate.
If there are any republicans who are in
clined to change or break away from
their present political relations, he will
give them a cordial welcome to the dem
ocratic party, but they must enter, if they
enter at all, as democrats. Even the
most timid and sensitive among them he
promises shall have pleasant reception.
1t is apparent, however, by his exhorta-
ton to patience and intimation of defeat
next year, that he proposes to GO into the
next campaign only to keep up and con-
tinue the democratic organization, believ-
ing that better object than to sell out on
the Missouri plan and be whipped into
the bargain.

Professor Wurtz announces his conviction,
throughout the middle tier of counties of
Western New York, and in other large sec
tons of the United States, every house ought
to be warmed and lighted by gas drawn from
the earth, without money and without price.
The following is the statute in the old Sax

Mr.. Greeley suggests that the President

Declaration of Independence.


Of late years in our 4th of July celebrations
we have omitted one most important feature
the reading of the Declaration of Independence
the very basis of the principles of our govern
ment. Some persons may object to its being
read as needless, but the large majority of our
citizens we know, would gladly hear it again
and agaiu, The main trouble has been that
some person with weak and unframed voice
has read it and made farce of it, but if full
voiced, capable male reader could read it from
the City Hall steps, or if need be in the City
Hall, those that desired could be there to hear
and be re-inspired by its glorious sentiments
and patriotic enthusiasm. 20
The young people at tho prceor,t day have but
a slight knowledge of the glorious ideas con-
tanned in the oft-called "immortal Declaration
of Independence" although they may have look
ed it over, and one young man, this morning
remarked HE never had heard it read" Our
fathers gloried in its principles and adored it as
sacred document-let not the sons forget its
value and its eloquence in these latter days.
If after the procession is through in the fore
noon, some brief exercises could take place eth
er fronting or in City Hall, to include music by
the band, prayer, Declaration of Independence
and benediction it would be good thing. The
Qualification aud noisy part of the celebration,
isifirst rate, but would not some slight intellec
tual and heart-inspiring services also be desira-
ble 1875.
