" 4 PaternaI GOYernment.v

The testimony taken before the Congress
sonal Labor Committee revealed deteriora.
tion of public sentiment in regard to the
duties of the national government that is
very alarming. There is nothing so antago-
nistic to the proper conception of the func
tions of the general government as the idea
that it can be in the best degree "paternal"
1t is this which every statesman who has
had any hand in shaping the course of the
nation has regarded as the one above all
other things to be avoided. Whatever else
our great men have been divided over, they
have all united in holding that the infusion
OF germ of paternality into the organic law
OF the land was the surest way to effect ma
tional destruction. The farthest avoidance
of this idea has always been practiced and
much ingenuity has been exercised to reduce
the functions OF the central government to
the simplest and fewest possible consistent
with public safety. The Jetfersonian Re.
publicans were strenuous upholders of the
idea that the federal governments duties
should be confined simply to the defense of
the country and the regulation of the relations
between the various states, Their success.
sors, the democrats, inherited this idea, and
its correlative OF states rights. The oppon-
ents of the early Repubicans-the federals,
and OF the democrats-the whigs-favored
granting more powers to the general govern
ment-notably that of imposing protective
tariff, constructing expensive works of in
ternal improvement, and regulating issues of
bank notes. The true theory of our govern
ment is that everything possible shall be left
to local self-government and to individual
enterprise-that if a thing can be done by
other than governmental agency, it is pretty
certain to be done better than the govern
ment can do it. In short, it is that man
can do better for himself than any one can
do for him. This is the very antipodes of
the paternal style of government which as
sumes that it can do better for man than
he can do for himself.

The Third District.

Those parties in the Third Congressional
District who felt aggrieved that Bradley
Barlow was not the nominee of the Hyde.
park Convention, met in st. Adams on Sat.
urday last, and proceeded to organize as
formidable bolt as was in their power.
The number of those in attendance was,
as near as we could learn, between two and
three thousand. Singular as it may appear,
the proceedings of the convention, the enthu-
siasm of those in attendance, and the certainty
of the success of the movement, are differ
emily represented in the st. Adams Messen.
ger and the Burlington Free Press. The
former is enthusiastic over the matter and
predicts the ultimate triumph of Mr.. Bar
low at the polls while the Free Press views
the matter in an altogether different light
and is equally certain that Mr.. Barlow, and
his foremost champion, Albert Clarke will be
buried in the same political grave.
The feeling in Franklin county may safely
be set down as strongly in favor of Barlow !;
but we doubt if this feeling extends to any
great extent in the other counties compris-
ing the district. 1t is creditable thing for
Mr.. Barlow that his most intimate friends
and acquaintance are the warmest in his ia
vor, and we must acknowledge that We have
seen little to favor in the attacks upon Mr..
Barlow's character which we have observed
in certain papers in the state. But we do
not believe that there is enough in the mat
ter to warrant bolt or to guarantee its sue
cess. The third of September, however,
will settle the question.
Mr.. Barlow also received the nomina-
ton for Congress by the greenback party
which held its convention at Essex Junction
on the same day.

The Southern Prospect.

The Philadelphia Press has an exhaustive
letter upon the political prospect of the
South. The correspondent, who has appar-
emily observed the condition of things in
Louisiana with much intelligence, sees only
gloom and trouble ahead. He thinks the
whole South is hopelessly democratic, and
that the Republicans will not return more
than one or two members of Congress from
all the old rebel states. But now another
correspondent, who had been entrusted with
the task of looking over the field in North
Carolina, sees in the independent movement
hope of quite successful resistance to the
bourbon democracy. His estimate of the
result of the Congressional election in that
state leaves two of the eight districts in
doubt, gives two to the democrats, and
claims four for the independents He finds
strong opposition to the democracy, not
withstanding the tremendous efforts of the
bourbons to crush out everything which
does not bear the label of the regular organ
izaton. Social and business persecution
follows every voter who dares to take an in.
dependent stand. So bitter is the fight
against them that they dare not call them
selves Republicans--that name being espe-
cially odious to the old rebels. But he has
a good deal of confidence in their struggle
AS an independent party. We fear, however.
that he takes a roseate view of the politioai
field. 1t is clearly evident that the old con.
federates are bent on having solid south.
II is to be feared that they will stop at moth.
ing in consummating this purpose Hence,
there is but one sure remedy, and that il a
solid North
