THE NEW PARTY.

President POlk's Paper Defines the Status
of the Alliance Toward the New Party.
We want to say that, if the new party
formed at Cincinnati the other day shall
sweep the country like tornado, there
will come from such sweeping no harm

Cincinnati are democratic to the core.

The South and West,
Earn1er.

The people of the south and west
have been engaged for thirty years
past in hating one another with great
bitterness This hating has been most
irrational 1t is true now, and it has
been true for thirty years, that the in
terests of the south and west are the
same. Both these sections are agri-
cultural, and they both will remain
agricultural The natural friends and
political associates of the south are the
people of the west. Whatever is against
one section is against the other, and
whatever helps one section will help
the other. These obvious facts are just
beginning to be perceived over the
mountains of passion and prejudice
that have been piled up between these
sections And when these facts shall
come to be fully seen by the people Of
these sections, woe be to those who use
their political power for the purposes
of burdening these sections. Good
were it for those men if they had not
been born. President Polk's Progress

Nothing could so clearly demonstrate

agreed upon is enthusiastically in

The Question.

Just as anticipated, the Farm, Stock

party platform. 1t mentions the sub
treasury bill specially-but how about
free silver coinage and fiat money?
All, there!-the Cleveland democrats,
like Owen and Furlong, will now have
to fish or cut bait" Nothing in the
history of the mighty movement has
been of more value to the reformers
than the formulation of a plat
form which spotted" the ring
taller and the old-party assassin. The
question is now-with us? or, against
US? Do you? or, don't you2 That plat
form is the sitting of the gods-and it
sits exceeding fine! The Twin City
reptiles saw the danger-perceived the
meshes of the sieve-and they appoint
ed bogus delegation to go down and
fight for delay-and split the Minneso-

her own eyes out-and the gang are
now in the soup. Grand indeed will be

GRIN AWAY.
''See How the Pangs OF Death Do Make
Him Grim"

"See How the Pangs OF Death Do Make
Him Grin"
The plutocrats propose to put down
the new reform movement by means of
ridicule. They have hired every edito-
rial clown in the land to jeer and poke
fun at this great uprising of the people.
They tell us thousand times a day
that the Cincinnati convention was
made up of cranks; that the independ-
ent voters are wild-eyed lunatics, that
one distinguished reformer has a long
beard and that another wears no socks
All this is silly and sickening enough;
but the grinning plutocrats are not to
be blamed. They can do nothing else;
and when a body can find nothing TO
say, he always grins.
A grin is the last weapon of a dying
cause. When Galileo announced that
the earth revolved on its axis, every
simpleton who heard it burst into a
loud guffaw. The priests and pedants
of Spain jeered at Columbus as a crank.
Every great movement has to meet a
whole host of Mrs. Partingtons who
stand with their petticoats rolled up
trying to push back the advancing tide
with their little mops of Stiffness and
antiquated foolery.
So it is now. The old system of rob
berry and oppression is rapidly drawing
near its end Now that the people are
rising in self-defense, the plutocrats
perceive that they are In hopeless mi
nority. They have no arguments to
present; their old windbags about the
Argentine republic, the French assie-
mats, John Laws scheme, Confederate
currency. etc, are punctured and col
lapsing, without the strength either of
numbers or of reason: theirs is lost
cause. They can do nothing but grin
and gibe and jeer at the friends of re-
form.
Shakespeare seeems to have had q
prophetic view of the present situation
when he makes Warwick say, as he
stands at the death-bed of the wicked
old Cardinal: ''See how the pangs of
death do make him grin IS s. Heb

The CheStertOrn Transcript says: Kent
county has been visited by most de
lightful spell of ''peach weather" dur
ing the past ten days, and to-day nearly
million and half of peach trees are
in full bloom throughout the county.
No finer weather could have been asked
by the most eAacting peach-grower, and
never since the introduction of the
great fruit interest into Maryland has
the prospect for an immense crop been
more promising. The crop is not safe
yet, however, for as late as May 2Sth,
in 1870 or 1871, a fine prospect was
completely swept away by heavy
frost; yet we will not anticipate disaster
and hope for the best.
