Democracy Opposed 10 Land Grants

The following is the resolution
which was struck ont from tie
draft Of the Democratic pIattoma at
the Dalles:
Resobc1, That we are in favor
of granting reasonable aid for the

In accordance with the spirit Of
this resolution, Burnett, in IIi>
speech at Portland, opposed tie
whole system of land grants for
railroads, declaring that all OF
the public domain ought to have
been reserved for the people, and
was opposed to having any more
grants made. Burnctt, in his de-
bate with Wilson here last week,
denied that he had taken that POI

Contamination Of Politics.


American politics to-day, is that
mercenary and depIayed spirit, which
in its treatment Of opponents, indnl-
ges in the vilest slander and malig-
nifty. The press and the stump are
often subsidized to these purposes,
Political opponents are treated by
these as bittercst enemies. Their
political record is not only traduced
and held up in the most distorted
light, but their private character
and life are subjected to the sever
est misintcrpretations and ISLANDERS
Their families, too, and intimate
friends, because Of these relations.
are dragged with all oftheir private
interests, rendered unnatural and
false by traduction, before the eyes
Of greedy public to be gloated
over and made public property OF.
NO wonder thatnoble, hish-miuded
mon, often shrink back from the
slime, and scurrility, and abuse, and
traduction Of the political arena.
No wonder they look upon politics
as q 'dirty pool" and professional
politicians as men whose motives
are entirely selfish and ,iqrcenary
High minded, honorable, sensitive
men, can not do otherwise, and do
justice to their feelings, than shrink
back from running the gauntlet OF
such contamination. In consequence
Of this, but few, in comparison, Of
our best citizens, are elected to
office. Demagognes are tie rule in
office, aud patriots the exception.
The press oftlc country istIe most
largely responsible for this, being
the medium through which politi-
cal knowledge and anmus is i'm
parted to the minds Of the people,
and through its influence alone can
a rcmedybe secured. 1t the press
would confne its criticisms to the
political opinions and acts Of men,
aud leave their private Interests
alone, a great change for the better
would at once be wrought. II it
would 90 still farther, and place
itself on platform Of fair and hon.
orable criticism of'polItieal princi-
pies and record, most glorious step
in the direction of purifying politics
from the dregS Of pollution which
now corrupt it, would have been
taken. The best Of men would not
then shrink from it. The brightest
lustcr Of mind, the purest patriot
ism, the most exalted worth, would
drift uncTingly upon the tide Of
public preference into the official
positions Of the land.
But SO loHgaspubIic jouraalscon-
tinuc to uphold the acts Of dema-
goGues and nnprincipled men; So
long as opponents are subjected to
the vilest Of SANDERS and the mo>t
malignant traductions Of public and
private character so long as 1m-
fairness, distortion, misreproseota-
ton and talSchood continue as char
acteristicS Of American political
journalism, politics can but remain
degraded.

Guard Your Health and Life.

How inconsistent is human nature. Men csrry
revOlver5 TO protect themselves against rufians ia
wel-polished cities, where the precaution is unne
neglect to fortify their systems against
disease In the most unhealthy seasons Thousands
OF dyspeptics and other nvalids are now languish-
ing in sick rooms, or feebly and listlessly moving
through our streets, who owe their forlorn condl.
tlon solely TO want Of common prudence. Far
more inlmica than the roughs and rOwdIes, against
whose possible attacks the timid arm themselves
are the morbid elements that perYade the atmos.
phere at this time Of the year, and yet although It
is an undenied and undeniable fact that Hostetters
Stomach Bitters afford a more perfect protection
against these causes Of disease than any weapon Of
offence can afford against awIess violence the reck
less and inconsderate continue to brave the danger
with positive safeguard within their reach
Every day, however, the number OF these martyrs
TO their own want Of forecast diminishes Each sue
eeeding season demonstrates more clearly the ines
tmable value OF the Bitters both as an antitote fol
the causes OF disease and specific for It's conse
quences. The masma which generates periodic
disorders, rheumatism liver complaint irregulsritJ
OF the bowels and other physical disturbances pro
duces no effect whatever upon systems toned
strengthened and regulated by this powerful vege
table medicine, and dyspepsia nervous debility, con
stipation intermittent and remlltent feEers ous
ness and in fact nearly all the maladies which tn,
Bitters, If taken in time would prevent, are cured
by the persevering use of the great remedy.
The genuine Bitters, sold in Bottles only, am
never by the barrel keg gallon as Ii represented
by some unprneipled dealers.

The Levy Court.

To he Editor Of he Commercial:
The February session of this body commenced
at New Castle, to-day, but we have seen no Off
ciAl notice published.
II was formerly customary for the Clerk Of the
Peace to pubheh notices Of the meetings OF the
Court, in the different newspapers, the same as
is done by the Clerk Of the Board OF Trustees OF
the Poor, and this custom should be continued.
The Levy Court has the management Of the
Finances Of the County, and many persons have
business to bring before them but do not always
know when to go. At this term they will examine
and correct the assessment lists returned by the
Assessors of the different Hundreds, elect a
County Treasurer, Collectors, Trustees OF the
Poor, &c, and on the first Tuesday Of March,
they will meet as r Court of Appeals, and at the
same session elect Constabes, take the Bonds OF
the Collectors and County Treasurer and make
the Tax Levy on the assessment, when the lat
ter is completed.
As they have the power to make appropriations
for legitimate purposes, they should instruct the
Clerk to advertise the time Of the meeting.
TAXPAYER
