SATURDAY MORNING. Oct. 10. 1874.

The speech made by Mr.. Dawes in the
Worcester convention will well repay a
reading in this locality. 1t is sound and
sensible argument for the republican par
ty, touching with caudor and earnestness
upon the vital questions that affect par
ties, and containing suggestions aud dec
larations of principles worthy to be re-
membered. If the spirit of this address
peryades the Massachusetts republicans
their victory in November will be as de-
cisive as those in years past.

there Will be no escape but IN surrender. NO
one can fail to discern their approach, and
they will not admit of postponement.
The deep. seated political disease, which,
following the Rebellion, has perverted and
wasted the life of the Southern States, de-
mands heroic treatment. How shall the heal
ing influences of interrupted self government
be made to pervade a body polite too sick to
discern them, and too weak to grasp them!
The subtle and mighty agencies of the tele-
graph and steam, covering the continent with
the nerves and arteries of new systems OF
communication and Of transmission, crossing
States lines, passing under rivers, over noun
tans and through tunnels, and binding the
nation in one unbroken and inextricable net
work, were unknown TO the fathers who made
this republic of separate States.
These are working out their marvellous re-
suits through corporate powers and combined
forces that rival the government itself in their
ability to control the people and their inter-
ests. What shall be hereafter their relations
to that Government? Where shall the limit
and the check be placed? These are ques
tons to which the political ear cannot be in
different if it would
Another and greater question than all
| others confronts the though, ful statesman as
lac turns his face to the future. The power of
| the central government is increasing, while
that of the States is decreasing. The neces-
| tty of an efficient, unquestioned central pow
er during the war and the subsequent periods
of public disturbance, combined with the
great changes produced both in the character
and methods of all active life in this great
people spreading daily farther and father, yet
daily consolidating and centralizng all agen-
cies by which men move and are moved, have
contributed to make Capitalization habit of
thought too familiar for safety. Under these
influences, and yielding to these tendencies,
shall State lines be permitted to fade, and State
authority to decay, while we become more
and more one nation and one government?

OPERA HoUsE.-The audience that
greeted j. H.. Stoddart and his company
at the Opera House last night was, we
regret to say, not very large. The only
way we can possibly account for the
meagre attendance is the hard times and
scarcity of money. The people of Wheel
ing have always been liberal in their sup
port of first class artists, and as We
stated above that it can only
be dull times that keeps SO eminent An
actor as J. II. Stoddart from being re-
ceived with OVERLOOKING houses. The
programme of Wednesday night was re-
peated, and those present were delighted,
and Mr.. Stoddart received with APP
plause. He is one of the finest
actor in high comedy on the American
stage. He is full Of quaint and genuine
humor, and his natural and easy ways
captivate and charm the audience from
the very start.
Tonight splendid bill is offered, con-
sisting of three pieces-"Breach of Prom
ise," dangerous Joy" and "Woodcock's
Little Game" Our citizens should by
no means let the opportunity pass un-
needed of witnessing the excellent plays
presented by Mr.. Stoddart and his really
good company. Let the Opera House be
crowded this evening,
