After some consideration by the
Democracy of Massachusetts it ap
pears that q majority Of the party
there prefer the nomination Of the
Hon. VIM. CASTOR as their candidate
for Governor for the pending political
canvass. We think the preference in
dicated is a wise one and one that
will add to the strength of the party
in the old Bay State. Mr.. Castor is
a good and popular man a thorough
Democrat and will poll more votes in
the State than any other man the
Democrats will be liable to nominate
tor the position. CASTOR has already
occupied the Gubernatorial chair I;
made good and popular Governor
and it was only through the most cost
ly and persevelipg efforts that he was
defeated at his second nomination.
Neither John Quincy or Charles
Francis Adams can bring out the
whole Democratic vote of the State,
and in consideration of this fact and
other circumstances not named, we
hope our Democratic brethren there
will put in nomination either eX Gov.
Castor or Judge John G, Abbott.

Rights.

Every man has right to determine
for himself whether he will or will not

ed him.
No man has a right to determine
for another man whether that other
shall or shall not work tor any wages
that may be offered.
No man has any right to prevent
another man from doing any work,
but noxious to society and not dan
gerous to other individuals, which he
may think best to do.
Every man has Alright to his own
freedom. Every man has a right to
act or not to act in accordance with
the dictates of his own judgment and
his own conscience.
No man has a right to interfere
with the freedom of another, by die
tating either how he shall feel, what
he shall think and say, or what he
shall do.
The foundation OF society in this
country is freedom and anything ex.
cept the laws Of God or the laws Of

No National Police Force Needed.

There are demagogues in both par
ties, and plenty Of them, unfortunate
ly, but there are no worse demagogues
than the Republicans who take advan-
tage of the present state of affairs to
abuse the Democratic majority in
Congress for trying to reduce the
Federal army.
1t would be handy to have power
full standing army to call upon in such
an emergency as this ? Perhaps it
would. 1t would undoubtedly be con.
venient to have a Federal soldier post
ed at every area gate to keep out the
tramps who brighten your women
folks and steal your door mats.
We do not need a national police
now or at any other time. The mill
tia of every State is, or ought TO be,
strong enough to quell any disturb
ance within its own borders. But re-
cent events in this State have shown
that its military strength is inadequate,
the fact affords an argument for the
increase and reorganization of the mi
lltla of that State. 1t does not afford
any argument for the increase of the
Federal army.-M. Y. Sun.
