For the Spirit OF the Age.
A Voice from Massachusetts.

Mr.. EDITOR - u And
now few words as to the political
out look" l hardly know what to
say. The signs of the times are very
encouraging, when we look at Maine
and California, and see what they
have been doing, and how the Demo
cratic party is gaining. But we want
New York, Massachusetts, Ohio, and
other states to come in on the same
track. We want and need good,
honest, upright, unselfsh men to
make our laws for us, and to hold our
Offices, instead OF the lhieving, selfish,
greedy, untrustwortby characters we
have had the last few years. They
have ruined the country beyond re-
demption, unless we can elect good
men and have 4 grand Democratic
triumph from the Atlantic to the Paci-
hc shores.
Our public places, especially, WASH
ington city, need puritying-almost
with fire and brinstone-to make
them fit for honest men to occupy
and I do hope and pray that God will
so order events as to save our country
from the misrule we have been suffer-
ing from the few years past.
There seems to be good reason for
encouragement, and that is men who
have been blind for years, gre begin
ming to see, and if they are willing to
look affairs square in the lace, they
must do right and vote right and
now is the time for Democrats and
other Conservative voters to cry
''GoD SAVE OUR COUNTRY.
We have arrived at that state of
things by which nothing but the
election Of good men ana true, with
he help Of Providence, can save it
rom worse than British bondage.-
must close. Mrs. Z. S. PC.

The N. Y. Sun, closes long ar

cal common sense suggestions relative
to the support of the negro in the
Southern States. 1t says -
"Ihe bloody shirt hes been wav ed
too often by demagogues and knaves to
produce any impression on the public
mind but resentment toward those
who insult intelligence by such I'M
worthy appeals to prejudice and pas
sion. The black man has occupied
the largest share of attention since the
close OF the war He has been started
fairly, has equal rights before the law,
has schools, to support which he pays
hardly a fractional part OF the taxes,
and has open before him a broad field
of labor in a congenlal climate. IT he
ever intends to take care Of himself, it
is about time he commenced in ear
nest, for partisan dependenence is a
degradation and an injury"

dictates the local nominations at the

prominent Democratic official who

in him, James Bryan, the Treasurer

indicted and prosecuted by Democrats

has increased its efficiency in every
department, the Democratic Attorney
General, who is Il candidate for re.
election, is prosecuting the Republican
candidate tor the State Treasurership

DEATH OF Hon. Fl. b. SMITH -
We were panied to learn last week
after our paper was out Of the death
OF our friend and co-laborer in the
cause of Democracy, H. B. Smith,
which occurred at his residence in
Milton, Sunday night Sept. Goth. He
retired in his usual health, but was at.
tackled with apoplexy during the night,
and died before morning. We be-
came acquainted with Mr.. Smith in
1862 when the Democratic party in
Vermont was fast disintegrating, and
the DILLINGHAM;, the Thomases, ana
the Browns had already left it--some
of them for plumber and some
for bread and butter, Mr.. Smith
threw himself in the breach and as,
