our POOH FRIEND.

We have, unwittingly, provoked our
good friend, Hon. Andrew Keegan,
an honester or truer man is not to be
found in Minnesota,-into discussion Of
the Woman's Rights Question. and he
has, as will be seen elsewhere, stirred up
q perfect hornets nest;--the swarm is
out; men and women are both after him;
and our heart bleeds for him. We can
say to him Is Scott said Of King James,
in the fight with Rhoderick Dhu:
CHOW gallant warrior hold thine own;
No maiden'S arm is round thee thrown;
For that embrace thy form shall feel.
Through bars OF brass and triple steel''
The Court now waits to hear what the
distinguished defendant has to say for
himself. Mr.. Keegan has the floor.
His last witness, Solomon, has retired
with his nose bunged up and both eyes in
mourning. As an advocate of monogamy
he was not success. But, seriously, tn,
question becomes interesting and the de
bate will be instructive to our readers.
Keep your tempers, ladies and gentle
men. Give us facts and reasons. Fai
play and no scratching. And don't to-
many pitch onto Mr.. Keegan at once, o
he will have to call for volunteers.

Ar large meeting held recently in
Philadelphia in commemoration Of the
death of the Irish patriots John Mitchell
and John Martin, an eloquent address
was delivered by j. Duross O.Bryan,
Esq, . leading and rising member Of the
young bar Of that city. Our want Of
space forbids anything more than frag-
mentary extract. He said:
''Need say the subject is not 30 much Of
men as Of patriOts-not the weakness of hu-
mainly, but the mind and spirit, which with
undying faith struggle and suffer In defence Of
. sacred cause! That cause was the very
same. and had its origin and source in the same
principle Of resistance to . tyrannous domin-
ion Which, having been espoused and success
fully carried out In l776, has resulted in glori-
GUS and independent America" lApplause.]

VII. The conclusion from all this is
that sthe muddle" is indeed compli-
Gated one; that it embraces many truths
apparently conflicting and that it IS
difficult to draw clear and precise line
If absolute truth through it. It was not
SO with the slavery QUESTION. This was
the syllyogism in that case "Slavery is
wrong ergo. Slavery should be abol-
;shed.'' The hearts of the people decided
that issue.
But in this case we need deep thought
profound study, and careful avoidance
Of hasty cancellations. We are glad ts
have Mr.. Goar's letter.

HARD TIMES.

The St. Charles Times says, plain
lively:
Times are so hard that when the boy who
goes out on Saturday to collect bills tor lead
ing dry goods establishment comes home with
seventy -five cents, and has the seating Of his
pants worn out ny the boots Of his customers
from whom he has collected ii, the proprietor
regards it IS good day for collections.
But then Senator Mcmillan says, "the
Republican party has brought the coun.

and prosperity"
The Republican party, or Senator Nc
MILAN, should furnish new seat for that

FROM the Platform adopt
ed February 10th, 1875, by
the members of the Legis-
lature belonging to the Lib
eral Republican and Demo-
cratic parties, in caucus as
Sembled -
Resolved, sirth, That the
adoption of the 18th, 18th
and 10th amendments to
the Federal Constitution
closed a great era in poll
tics. It marked the end for
ever of human slavery, and
of the struggles that grew
out of that system. These
amendments have been ac-
cepted in good faith by al!
political organizations and
the people of all sections
Hereafter all parties must
stand upon them, and oul
politics must turn upon the
questions of the present
and future, and not upor
those of the settled ant
final past.

GUN CoIoRED FRnNpS.

We are glad to note that IL several Of
our cities our colored-f.llow citizens have
organized literary societies for self-im-
provement, and have been conducting
public debates in very creditable man
ner.
In st. Paul the Robert Banks Society
held debate on the question Of the in
fluence Of novels upon the public mind.
A reporter says:
The Affirmative was supported by Messrs.
James Henry and O. G. Philips, while Messrs
Thos. H. Lyles and Moses Martin defended the
novel reader. Mr.. Phillips opened the argu-
ment for the affirmative with brief but point
MI. Lyles made many more telling points,
and concluded by citing some Of the works Of
Dickens, Thackeray, Sir Walter Scott, Alex
ander Dumas, q descendant of the col0red
ra.e) Geo. Sands, D'Israeli and others whose
works oould not be spoken Of . trashy.
Qualities Of third, fourth and fifth rate l.ovels
alone, but Of all works of fiction, both of the
higher and lower orders.
His remarks were delivered in smooth,
flowing style, entirely without the use Of notes,
and much after the extelnpore manner Of an
