A Significant Speech.

Elsewhere our readers will find repro
duced in full, a speech made by General
Stewart L. Woodford at the Republican
meeting held in New York last week. Gen.
Woodford's address is one of the most sig
nificant utterances made this campaign. He
was of those who believed that the policy OF
concliation would be successful and should
be tested. 1t has been tested under most
favorable conditions, and the result is any
thing but gratifying. The mild and tenta-
tive policy of the Administration has eX-
cited derision instead of support in the
the Southerners have accepted and then
gone on their evil way. The concessions
made have been regarded by them as evil
dences of weakness, not of generosity. In
return, they have attempted to break down
the freedom of elections, have suppressed
liberty of speech and political action, have
aided the supporters of vicious currency
system, have attempted to weaken the con-
stitutional powers of the President, have re-
turned ingratitude for clemency, and are
HOW tuCuloClNCo Wioh eiAS PAOAiAONSAN
of national dishonor and the supporters OF q
vicious currency system.
The course the Southern leaders have ta-
ken has alarmed men like Gen. Woodford
who went into the conciliatioE movement in
good faith and with high anticipations.
These Republicans feel that their motives
have been misconstrued, that their kindly
advances have been met with contempt and
ingrattude, and that their endeavors to
bring about better state of affairs in the
South have been regarded by Southerners as
an abandonment of Republican principles
and weakening of purpose on the part OF
the loyal North. While they may not regret
the experiment, and certainly have no apol-
ogies to offer for attempting it, they clearly
perceive that it has not met with the success
they anticipated. They have become aware
that the South must be again taught that
the North does not waver in its purpose to
insist upon freedom and purity of election,
liberty of political speech and action, and the
unquestioned supremacy Of the Nation over
the States And they realize that the most
effectual way to teach that lesson is to elect
President in 1880. The Southern leaders
must learn that, to the end of time, a solid
South means solid North.
The Portland daily press., 1879-10-11
A Vulgar Error.

Some irresponsible person must have been
the London Examiner whose article is trans
ferred, without comment to recent num-
ber Of LittelPs Living Age. He calls Amer
lea the Paradise of Editors, but he must
have fallen in with that primal dead-beat,
the serpent, instead of he lawful inhabi-
tants of Paradise. For the editor of the
principal journal in Philadelphia informed
him that "the prominent hoteP' of that city
would give him free dinners; and next took
him to hat-store where he had the satisfac-
ton of looking on while the editorial head
was being fitted to hat, for which he paid
no dollars.
CATER goodly share of palaver on either
side''-says the writer-'the hatwas ordered
to be sent home, and kindly courtesies were
exchanged. 'Therep calculated our friend,
elated at his prowess, that's the way we get
our head-gear. I'll tell you how it's done to
the benefit of all concerned. The first time
1 don the hat you have seen me select /
shall just, casually, as it were, drop in to
see the editor of the opposition journal
that is, of the Republican party. Of course
he'll be up to the dodge. The following
morning personal will appear in big type.
1t will run somewhat in this style: 'Yester-
day we had the pleasure of an interview at
our office with the editor of the Democrat.
We were more than pleased to see him look
so exceedingly hale and well, but could not
readily account for the gratifying change.
Subsequently we discovered that improved
appearance was in marked measure due to
the circumstance of his having worn new
hat procured at the store of Mr.. Beaver?
AS matter of good nature continued our
friend, 4 do similar kindly office for him;
so it's an all-round arrangement, equally sat
isfactory to each one concerned.
In a respectable and well-regulated news
paper office, such deadbeat doings would
not be tolerated; and journalist who
should accept goods on the understanding
that he will give The dealer a puff in the
column of the paper to which he himself be-
longs, or in the manner described by the
correspondent of the Examiner, would be
deservedly reproved for unprofessional and
ungentlemanly conduct. 1t is against the
rights of readers, as it is contrary to news
paper propriety, that the news columns be
intruded upon by any furtive advertising;
and the journalist who respects himself and
his paper will accept no goods for which he
cannot frankly say what equivalent he gave,
with equal creditableness to himself and the
dealer from whom the goods were obtained.
The Examiner correspondent if sincere in
his statement, has been the victim of one OF
those practical jokes which the American
delights to play upon his English Cousin.
The unblushing bummerism Of which he
speaks is not countenanced by any reputable
newspaper in America.

Recent Publications.

The new edition of Mr.. Longfellow's Poems,
in process of publication by Messrs. Houghton
& Osgood of Boston, fairly touches the ideal
perfection- point of bookmaking. The balance
of worth is notable; the engravings really Illus
trate the text instead of clouding the imagina-
tive sight of the reader; the large pages rich,
creamy paper and lavish use OF every adjunct
of fine bookmaking are not, as is often the
case, applied to render attractive "a volume for
the passing fashion Of the holiday time, but to
do honor to poet whose works are read wher-
ever the English language is understood. 1t is
due and honorable that so fine an edition OF
Mr.. Longfellow's poems be published; 1t Is
alike creditable to those who undertake its
publishing and to the world of readers whose
love for the great poet warrants the putting
forth of this large and costly edition while SO
many in various styles are continually issued.
1t hardly need be said here that it is peculiarly
fitting that the people of Portland express the
pride in Mr.. Longfellow which we take OF
right from his birth and residence here. Al
though his present home is in Cambridge, and
not all America shuts in the worldwide scope
of the echoes of his voice-Portland will not
let pass any opportunity of claiming him as
first of ALL her poet. And how better shall this
thing be said, how otherwise express to Mr..
Longfellow the pride and affection in which
his townsfolk hold him, than by practical ar-
probation of this fine setting of his songs, an
edition worthy of the poets work? Inc
truthfulness of the illustration is point suita-
BILE for comment, so much does their effective
ness depend upon this quality. The landscapes
and interiors have been copied from the actual
sceLes which suggested the poems, thus put
ting the readers mind as far as possible, en-
rapport with the poets thought. The same
care has been exercised throughout the entire
design of the edition; large corps of artists,
each one notable in his special line of work,
contribute to the illustrations; and, in brief,
nothing has been left undone that the expert
ence and liberality of the publishers could sug-
gest to render the volumes in every way COM
plete and desirable.
And here word may be said to commend
the canvasser of Messrs. Houghton 4 Osgood
to our citizens. 1t is rare, indeed, that book
agent is referred to in the columns of journal
save as an itinerant weariness literary
ramp. But for the accredited representative
of Messrs. Houghton & Osgood, who offers
their edition of Mr.. Longfellow's Poems, the
PRESS would bespeak the kindly courtesy OF
Portland people; and it trusts that the gentle
man who helps to afford our citizens an oppor-
tunity of expressing their pride and admiration
for the poet, will have an agreeable reception
at their hands. Let us remember that in this
work-a-day world mans appreciation OF a
fine thing is apt to be measured by his practi-
cal investment in it; and what better wealth
shall be garnered up for the proverbial rainy
day. than these wise, sweet songs, "apples OF
gold in pictures of silver?'
