They may suc ceed in influencing a prominent man in the Republican ranks now and. then, to become an advocate of some of their "new departures," but such men are immediately dropped by Republicans. A Reader in the Republican party is estima ted by his ability to support and spread the principles of the party, nd not by his ersonal magnetism ; and hence, bolters from the j party like Chase, 'or Shur,, or anyj other sore-head, are just left to drill. If J)emocraey chooses to tackle Ion to such fellows, it only gives a j fresh exhibition of their lack ot principle, and disposition to make any sacri fice for power. There cazi be no great party formed now we mean new party as there are no great public events out of which to man ufacture it; and therefore, jsuch spasmodic efforts of the Democracy will only result in merited confusion and defeat. ' Let Republicans re main true to their principles, and faithfully rally to the support of their standard bearers, and victory will continue to perch on their ban ners, and prosperity and peace le the portion of all. ' the annual burden of the debt some fifteen millions since the beginning of his term, the most disgraceful ! charges of dishonesty and extrava gance have been cast upon him like hail by the. Democratic press. In the midst, however, of this storm of misrepresentation and slander, the debt has gone on decreasing, at the rate ofmiilions per week, until now it is computed, that ii the same policy of honest economy -is continued in the future, twenty years will furnish suilicient margin to cancel the whole indebtedness.

We confess to a hearty admiration of the spirit of devotion which prompts these latter journals to contend earnestly for what they conceive to.lie the principles and policy of the old party. No party can maintain its self-respect and pursue a vascillating course. ' Sen sible men look upon "New Depart ures," "no nominating" schemes, etc., as measures adopted to secure "power and pelf" alone, and not to secure the successful adoption of a clearly-defined line of political prin- , ciples or policy. - As two great par- j ties, at least, are necessary to an ! honest and faithful administration of our Republican Government, the more intelligent," consistent atid vir tuous those parties are, " the ; freer, stronger and more equitable "will be the government, and more virtuous hei" citizens.' Desiring, then, to see the United States of ' America at-' tain to all tlie greatness, 1 grandeur ind glory of which she is. capable, -we take no great delight in seeing 1 a large body of her fellow; citizens pursuing a course which is demoral izing in the extreme, injurious alike to individual as well as national in tegrity and honesty. ; When men are seen combatting manfully for a tr-. principle., because they believe it to be rigid andit?, though they may "be few iii numbers, they are a power . intiieir Eelfreie iand in the good opinions of 'their adversaries. ; raising of oats and potatoes, as well as wheat ; also to. hay and the other productions if properly cultivated. Ought she then, to so. far forget her true interest, as to 'concentrate her whole effort in the production of the one cereal, wheat ? Tliis j journal says that in Umpqua val ley potatoes are so scarce as to com mand "much better prices ' than wheat. In the Willamette valley they are very scarce, as well as the article of hay. It is much easier to raise oats and potatoes than it is wheat, and would it not Ixs far bet-" ter in a money-making point of view to put in a due proportion of these products, and not confine the planting to wheat almost exclusive ly ? We are no fanner, but it seems to us that it would. AYe hope our farmers will give it a fair thinking over, anyway. " ; lie Ye SrjKirate. Idea. "J "The Rest!

Tlie Xew Vork World a Dem ociatic . journal, calls , the district that gave Tweed such a large ma jority, a "political scab," and a dis grace ; to the nation. It calls Tweed a "felon," and says a major ity of tlie Democrats in his district are, "thieves,' made up of the dregs of the earth. If this estimate of the character of Tweed and his Xew York supporters is correct and what critic is better capable of forming a correct judgment of them than the World ? what a scathing comentary is this on modern Dem- ocracy,bicb. hasso ' long .looked to Tammany for leadership and success. The World justly says in substance, that Tweed and Ins sup- porters in Xew York are of the lowest and most degraded order of criminal humanity. , Th is being the opinion of good Democratic author ity, how can respectable, honest Democrats, consent to affiiliate with - these dregs of creation, these imps of perdition, these "political scabs" and "felons," for a single day longer"?

Con hope and trust become so strong in tlie human breast, as to crown every experience with a chaplet of serene composure and happy security? If assimila tion be the law of intellectual and moral expansion, we have no reason to doubt a gradual development in that direction. In the attainment of knowledge the effort is to assim ilate tlie mind to standards of scien tific attainment. 'o is it in the arts, and in all the pursuits of life. The nearer the aspirant approaches the model in thought and nracticc?, the more perfect. .lie becomes in the estimation of those who accept the model as the standard of perfection. In this life there can be no absolute perfection, but there can be a grad ual approximation in that direction, if the model be furnished, and the way to it be clearly defined. Finite man, unaided, could never arrive at a conception of the attributes of moral perfection. The history of idolatry the world over proves this. Idolatry and infidelity have always made men more and more degraded. The Bible, however, presents a per fect model of moral assimilation. It is the product of Divine wisdom, and is attainable by every human intelligenc?. We look at tlie at tributes of thc.'grcat Model present ed by the Bible. .We see perfect knowledge perfect holiness ; per fect happiness ; perfect constancy. Pursuing, .these great channels of development, the farther we go, the nearer we approach, and tlie more we become like the great Model. In proportion, then, as hope and trust and effort are absorbed in moulding the moral nature into the likeness and image of God, is f assurance of guidance and protection in time and eternity; secured, and a cheerful, happy contentment will be expe rienced. r,,. .

Thun dering C own the grade, the gravel and stores we sent flying over the precipice side a thousand feet plum to the bottom. Half way down the grade I felt, sir, a thrilling and creaking, then a lurch to one side, as we hung on the bank of the ra vine; hen, looking up the road, I saw, in the distance lehind me, the off hind wheel of the coach just loosed from its axle, and following.

A short time afterwards Maddox was seated on a snug little sotiu by the side of his fair lady-love, --looking very well pleased with the situation, which, perhaps might have been said of his companion also. : - " Will you tell me," he said, ' how you found out all that story that you told lat night?"
