The New Birth.

To disabuse the mind of prejudice is a
most difficult task. Struggle as wemay,
the mind will cling to the past, cherish
early convictions and fondly remember
causes now lost. The writer cast his
first vote for James Buchanan, and
never, even in the darkest hours of the
Democratic party, failed to vote the tick
ct of that organization. He attached
himself to the party for reason of it's
correct position on the tariff question;
he believed in strict construction of
the constitution; that the Federal gov
ernment had no right to interfere with
the domestic institutions and affairs of
the States; that the territories were COM
mon property on which the institutions
of all the States should receive equal rec
ognition, and was opposed to the aboli-'
ton of slavery. Upon the latter ques-
tions, many who advocated and voted
for the Democratic party at the time of
the election of Buchanan, deserted the
organization and assisted in placing the
government into the control of the Re-
publican party. The war came; new is
sues We're kept before the people and
old principles were lost sight of and al
most forgotten save as they were, year
by year, enunciated in hopeless Demo-
cratic conventions. During all these
years the opponents of Democratic prin-
ciples were not idle. In the excitement
of the war, and under the cry Of mill
tary necessity, the specific revenue tar
iff of 1S46 was repealed and the Morrel
tariff enacted, which, year after year
since, has been made more and more
protective until it now justly bears the
name of robbers tariff" Under the
pretense of abolishing human bondage,
fetters have been placed upon the labor
and industry of the country, the per-
sonal liberty of the citizen has been at
tempted to be destroyed, and private
business has been sought to be regulated
by legislation.
These innovations upon the cardinal
principles of Democracy as taught by
Jefferson, became so apparent that those
| who abandoned the party on the war
issues discovered the necessity of return
ing to their first love in order to save
the personal liberty of the citizens, the
equality of all persons before the law,
and to prevent the government being
| converted into monied aristocracy cre-
ated by government patronage and
subsidy, and by thousands, REINFORCED
by heoyouth and energy grown into
manhood since the war, they seek again
to rally around the Democratic ban
ner.
The war demoralized the civil depart
ment of the government to such an ex.
tent that the party in power is at pres.
ent absolutely unable either to suppress
corruption or to punish theft, and al
present the Democratic party..is the on.
| ly refuge for men who hold dear the
welfare Of the country. The masses
had almost lost sight of the elementary
principles Of their government and had
to be educated anew. Time and divers
means were necessary toarrest the usur.
patton of the successful and powerful

THE Sandusky Register, a leading
Republican paper, has this to say of the
Democratic candidate for Governor:
George Hoasly is man Of fine abilities and good
character. He ranks high as q lawyer and debater
and is recognized as man Of culture and learning.
He has the capacity to make a strong
fight, he has money, he has standing among men,
and he win be powerful candidate. OF course he
has weak spots in his armor and his political enc
mics will find them but we are not blink to the fact
that he is strong man, to defeat whom win call for
the most earnest efforts of his political opponents.
Wen bet our old hat the above frank
article won't tally worth cent with

THE WEATHER AND THE RAIL
ROADS

The weather has become so great a
factor in all commercial transactions, that
we find the greatest financial results de-
pending upon it. Bad weather produces
poor crops, and when the crops fail, there
are distress, financial embarrassments,
failures, assignments and bankruptcies by
the score. A drouth in one section of
the country, and flood in another; the
absence of snow in the great pine forests,
and too much snow in cattle ranges of
the great Western Territories, blast the
prospects Of rich and poor alike
No KIND of business has so large a stake
in the weather as railroading. IF the
weather is good in seedtime and harvest
there will be abundant crops, and that
means plenty OF freight and passenger
traffic, and that means large receipts, and
that means large dividends to the stock
and bond holders. The prosperity of all
classes of people is reciprocal, and if one
kind of business is depressed, all the 9th
erS sympathize and suffer with it.
But the agriculturalists of the country
are not more dependent upon the weather
for a profitable years business than the
railroad corporations which carry the pro-
dUce OF the farms to market Last week S
snow-storms will cost the railroads in the
West, at a rough estimate, $50O,0 900 ex-
ira which they would have kept in their
treasures if the weather had been pleas
ant. Some OF the cuts are filled 90 feet
deep, and packed in so hard that it defies
the snow-plOw with the locomotive behind
it to remove it. At some points it will
require as much outlay to clear the cuts
of snow as it did to do the grading in the
first place. Two years ago the ST Paul
company expended 100000 to keep
their tracks clear of snow, so that the
profits of carrying a good crop were alb,
sorbed by the piecedented hard winter
that followed. Such are some of the con-
tingeucies which the weather occasions
between the capitalist and the profits on
| his Investments Chicago Journal.
