THE POLITICAL DEPARTMENT.

Upon all questions involving the especial in
terests u the cOlored American citizen, IN .
simple rule of equal justice for all men will GOV.
ern the policy Of the New NATIONAL Era. Itwil.

citizen which it will not freely accord to every
other. Is will oppose any attempt to comic,
privileges upon = class, that are withheld from
the humblest citizen in the land. II will demand
every citizen equality before the law aud tall
protection OF person and property in every State
and Territory OF the National Union.
The New NATIONAL ERA will take high crnund
upon all public questions, and labor TO Inspire
an openness of purpose and encourage unity of
cotton, ospoe;aly among tho nowiy eutfnuCnfsGd
people OF the reconstructed States. Remem.
bering the pas: history of the Republican party,
and recognizing what It has done for the colored
people OF the nation, the New national ERA
Will give its hearty support to that party without
reserve. This pledge of fidelity to the Republi.
can party is iven under the conviction, and
with the assurance, that in the future. n in the
past, that party will be the steadfast and inexble
support Of those principles of justice and liberty
which have now become part OF the organic law
Of the land.
THE EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT.
BY education the people of a free Government,
such as ours is intended to be, are better quail.
fed to discharge their duties to the State, and
to one another. The nation will ever find its
surest safeguard in the intelligence of its voting
masses and the journal which would promote
the highest good Of government and people
must lend its energies and its power to the work
of educating that people. Especially is the
agency Of the press needed by that portion OF
the people, colOred and white, who, either in
slavery or under the ban Of rts blightng in
fuences, have been deprived of the opportun-
ties enjoyed BY their more favored brethren Of
the free States.

THE Loss OF 4 WIFE.

In comparison with the loss of q
beloved wife, what are other bereave-
ments? The wifel she who fills so
large space in the domestic heaven
she who is so busted, SO unwea-
ried-bitter, bitter, is the tear that
falls upon her grave? You stand
beside her tomb, and think of the
past. Fain would the soul iinger
there. No thorns are remembered
about the sweet clay, save those your
own hand may have unwittingly or
unkindly planted. Her noble, tend
er heart lies open to your inmost
sight. You think of her as all
goodness, all purity, all truth.
But she is dead. The dead head
so often laid upon your bosom, now
rests upon a pillow of clay. The
hands that uninsured SO untiringly
are folded white and cold, beneath
the gloomy portals. The heart
whose every beat measured an eter-
nifty of love, lies under your feet.
And there is no white arm over your
shoulder now-no speaking face to
look up in the eye of love-no trem-
bling lips to murmer, "Oh,it is SC
sad!" There is SO strange hush in
every room! No smile to greet you
az nightfall-and the clock strikes
and ticks, and ticks and strikes. II
was sweet music when you could
count the hours with her-when she
could hear it! Now it seems only
the hour through which you watched
the shadows of death gather upon
her dear face. But many tale il
tells of joys past, sorrows shared. and
beautiful words and deeds registered
above. You feel that the grave can
not keep her. You know that she is
in happier world, but still you feel
that she is by your side-an angel
presence.
Cherish these emotions. They
will make you happier. Let her holy
presence be as charm to keep you
from evil. In all new and pleasant
connections give her place in your
heart. Never forget what she has
done for you, that she has loved you.
Be tender of her memory.
To how many bereaved hearts will
these sentences come who will look
back upon the past with mingled
recollections of sorrow and joy
perhaps of penitence. $50 live,
husband and wife, says an old Eng
lish worthy, ssthat when either dies,
the spirits Of both may mingle."

TIE TEMPER NICE UNION.

The following preamble and reso.
lntions adopted by the Oregon State
Temperance Union, are intended to
be statement of the motives actuat-
ing the members of the Union in
their withdrawal from the Alliance:
Whereas, Some persons have at
tempted to impugn the motives of
those delegates who withdrew from
the late session of the Oregon State
Temperance Alliance, and
Whereas, it has been deemed ex@
pedient by those who participated
in that withdrawal that there
should be a true, explicit and au-
thoritative statement on their part of
the REASONS that impelled them to
that act, and the undersigned having
been duly appointed committee to
draft resolutions declaring these
reasons, therefore,
Be Il Resolred, 1st, That in with
drawing from the Oregon State Tenn
perance Alliance, and asking that
our names should be stricken from
Is roll, We are not actuated by any
factious or petuiant spirit of resent
ment against the action of the Al
lance, nor by any feelings Of spite
ill-will towards any member or mem
bers of that body, but solely by
cincere desire to promote the good
/ Of the temperance cause.
I'd. That after q patient observa-
ton and experience Of the workings
OF the Alliance we became satisfied
that It's organization was too loose and
/ hifnsy in texture TO be effective, and
that founded as it was upon the idea
that its door should be freely opened
to all who applied, whether possess
ing true temperance record, or
representing any genuine temperance
sentiment or not, its bership
was too heterogeneous for it to be O.
safe leader of the temperance ele-
ments of the State:
Sd. That believing as we did, and
do, that the only true and safe union
OF the temperance people of Oregon
must be on such a basis rs shall ex-
clude all organizations and elements
whatsoever that are not throughly
and practically enlisted in the cause
of temperance, we felt, and still feel,
that We could not conscientiously
remain in an association founded and
controlled upon an entirely different
plan.
| 4th. That having thus lost faith in
the Alliance as an effective agency in
this great reform, we, by the consent
of that body, withdrew for the pur-
pose of forming an association that
should really represent the tenn
perance organization, temperance
people, and temperance sentiment of
the State, and should represent
nothing else: and that in establishing
the Oregon State Temperance Union,
we believe we have fully accomplish
ed that purpose.
| 5tb. That though We are no longer
members of the Alliance, we have
no hostility toward it, but honestly
wish it well; and that, though we
have little faith in it as present or
future agency IN the temperance re-
form, we shall nevertheless heartily
applaud and welcome any good re-
suits to this great cause that many
flow from it.
4 9th. That with this plain and hon.
est statement of our cause, We are
content to submit our actions to the
candid Judgment of the true temper

The reverence in which the men,
ory of George Washington is held
even by those who are of tender
years is truly encouraging. A lad,
last week, in Boston, being directed
by his teacher to compose an essay
on Washington, went SO far as to
speak of that great man as the pro-
genitor of the human race--the first
man. Being asked by the school
master if Adam was not supposed to
stand in that dignifed relation, the
lad admitted that "perhaps he did, if
you were going to take foreigners
into account"
