TbtAwMpttKi tf the Hf-mmQIb Tbe assumption of the Democra cy of to-day is without precedence Its aRn to plibuc confidence ahf as bra-sen in their effroiitry, as they are insulting in their presumption. With more cheek than brains, and more impertinence than prudence, it assumes a part in the drama of pol Hies for which it has no single ad aptation, and for which its recent Mstory can furnish no other testi mony than that of contradiction ; and preRmmnr' on the ignorance or forgetful ness of the people, it flaunts its pretentious upon the political stage, and expects to be received into public confidence. Is it possi ble that Democracy has become so infatuated with its own follies and sins, as to regaid them as virtues worthy of public admiration, or does it estimate the standard of public in telligence and virtue so low, as to presume upon lis ability to mislead the people? While the past his tory of the Democratic party is full of mistakes and crimes ; while con tradictions and errors of the most disastrous character to itself and the nation are still seen in their effects upon every hand ; while the people in Oregon and California are suffer ing from tho frails of unjust and criminal legislation, enacted to tiate the greed of dishonest legisla tors and their particular supporters and friends, how can it have the braifiMpuon to set up die claims for public, favor that it does ? One would think that it would hide its head for very shame ; but no, in the exube,rance of its supreme im Hidenoeaod depravity, heartless be cause impenitent, cruel because un changed, it arrogates all it has feet, the principles of Jefferson, the in tegrity of a Jackson, the fervor of a Douglas, the consistency of Ste phensand that, too, while new departures, and passive schemes, and litigant bills, and swamp land swin dles, and Tammany frauds, and general demoralisation stares it in the face, like so many reproving ghosts and asks to be elevated to power that it may bring about a reformation in the affairs of the na tion! b not such assumption with out precedence? "Amies and sondes of Democrats," as Pome roy says, trying to teach "fat offices and rich stealings" under the sjxs cious guise of reformer. Democ racy must be renewed m the sphit of its mind, become a "tew crea ture," be entirely transformed, re constructed throughout, in nature and practice, before it can hope to command any respect in the char acter of a reformer. As the matter stands now, the assumption excitce do greater emotion than that of in. dignant contonit, in the mind of all sensible people. The Democratic journal of -the ' state, directly or by implication, ; ciahn for tlie Democracy a large en- dowment of honesty. To one uir acquainted with the natural charac teristics of that party, and the un scrupulous check of its journalistic supporters, tlie claims of the latter in this direction would appear con vincing and cornet. A familiarity, however, with the practice of De mocracy in this direction, will probe this claim to tho core, and show its rottenness. Fairness and candor are not features, or qualities, of Dem ocratic discussion or investigation. Wbfle Democracy shows the keen est vigdinee in detecting the errors of tlie opposition, it shows none at all in discovering its own, but accepts them only as public opinion drives them to h. The Hodge de falcation was early seized upon with avidity by every Democratic sheet, little and big, from Maine to Texas ; but it took them a long while not until public sentiment had driven them to it to give their consent to condemn the enormous stealings of the Tammany ring. In this they were unfair and unjust. But this is the mildest feature of injustice displayed by jounals of Democra cy. ' If they would limit themselves in their exposures and animadver sions on tliem to actual tacts, unde niable occurrences, their injustice wonid not become so apparent ; but the disposition to invent baa be come so thoroughly cultivated, that real facto are entirely overwhelmed, r rendered nugatory, by a super abundance of imaginary statements. The Hodge defalcation, for instance, serves' as a thread upon which to string statements , of defalcations, amounting in tlie grand aggregate, if they wereall summed np, to thous ands ofmilhons of dollars; more money , perhaps, than passes through the hands of those at whom these im aginary charges an mended to point In this they overdo the matter, and excite a feeling of un belief, even in the minus of those who are the most anxious to be con vinced. We might refer, too, in this conneftion, to the charge which has been so zealously circulated against President Grant the one which asserts that lie has become a millionaire since his occupancy of the Presidential chair, thereby im plying dishonesty. Democracy has here found a fruitful field in which to indulge in its paramount propen sity of making a great deal out ot nothing. Some of the Democratic journals have placed the value of Gen. Grant's pomessions at as high a figure as twenty-five millions, all obtained since his election to the Presidency. Nobody believes such a charge, no matter how mash in clined, because it is too extravagant. If the figures had been put some wliere within a million or less, there might have been found tome per sons credulous enough to believe the falsehood; but as it is, the projec tors of the charge are the only ones who; a justly regarded as dishon est. But while the Democrac? is i t u ii j I o uoBiuim in m pvpciKsny w id- I vent enormous falsities about the character and acts of its adversary, it is just as unscrupnlons iu its ef forts to cover up its own misdeeds arime8,or to defend them. The leaders of the democratic jou rnals have not forgotten how those journals endeavored to apol ogise tor, or cover up the Tammany crimes; they are well posted a to vne arguunnis now uemv irsou vo the 8wamn 1mA swindle in tH Slate; they have no need to be tot bow bitmnlry these litigant organaof Oregon pat on the tyran- nical tariff in Collecting their bills for legal fmntihg. They can thus see that while these journals make great professions of honesty, their daily deeds give them the lie. Like tbefobtsh priest, they may deliv er long desertations on honesty, but there is the stolen chicken in thsrejfrev,' Tliey may cry out thief, tbfef; but the people can see that it is but a nwe to distract public at- ; tention from tlieir own raKcring. The louder the cry, the tJeter go their hands into the fmolic cotters. Dishonesty towards opponents in the management of public interests, be long as naturally to the Demeern y of this State, as lour logs to a quadruped. A dispatch from Halifax, based on trustworthy authority, states that a document has been signed by the Canadian Government for a ser- atkm from the Hritihi Empire. When the Imperial Parliament passed4nc act of Confederation, an agreement to separate was arranged, to take effect whenever the British Government saw tlie necessity for such action. I It is now stated that ever since tlie treaty the British troops have been gradually with-' drawn from Canada, until now there is hardly a soldier left outside of Harfar. Should tho complice tions between the United Stites a-si Great Britain assume a war-likc character, there is but little doubt but that the Imlependene? of Can- ad will be consummated by procta mation, and thus Great Britain will be relieved of the necessity of defending that colony. TokcM or OmSMomc One of tlie best indications of the success of Gen. Grant's administra tioiijsays a cotemporary , "is tlie judg ment passed npn it by tlie money magnates of Europe." While the opponents of Gen. Grant are resort ing to every expedient which ambi tion and hatred and miscmpulons ness can invent, for the purpose of weakening theconfideuce which the success of his administration has so justly and overwhelmingly rallied to his support at home, the Roths childs, of Europe, give expression to their confidence by offering to take six hundred millions of our nation al debt at rates of 5, 4, and 4 per cent interest Tlie attacks of as piring demagogues and unscrupu lous opponents become as volatile as vapors, in the face of expressions of confidence so substantial. A Senate bill has been reported by Hill from the Committee on Pestofnoes aud Bailroads, for an in crease of mail service between San Francisco aud Japan. It empow ers the Postmaster General to make a contract with tlie Pacific Mail Steamship Company for carrying a semi-monthly mail on the present established route at a rate of com pensation not to exceed tlie rate now paid tor monthly service, and upon the same conditions fixed by acta of Congress in reference thereto and the contract made in pursuance thereof; provided, tint steamships hereafter accepted for said service shall not be less than four thousand tons register each. Democratic extravagance is well 'Illustrated in California. A mes sage from the present Governor to the Senate shows that the State debt is $4,115,305 58, instead of $3,462,000, as reported by Govern or Height in his December message ; the State Capitol Fund has been overdrawn nearly half a million; the Normal School Fund. 8100.- aaa . a i 1 n-Jy wv , ure luiu suu nutu) j rinuii re 5,000 in debt, and the Military Sumner has made a motion in Senate to reconsider the confirma tion of Leggett as Governor of W, T.

Says Daniel Poster in the Maine Far merj I began to milk when I was only eight yean of age, which Is sixty-four ysars ago, and there has not been more than two months In all of the sixty four years bat what I hare everyday had something to do with cows. And perhaps I know as much about cows as anyboy that Is no older tlian I am. I ihavt laid some experience wits row's i teats. At night 1 wash the teat with Water (prefer to have it warm) tlien with a urufh such a painters liave. milk In a lone nuart measure, with one hand, going round anil taking only a quart at a lime out of each teat. When T get all the milk. I strip Into "one of ray hands aiKl apply to the teats, leaving them quite soft and moist. Then 1 nave a two-quart tin wasli dish with a liandle. with about a pint of Hour in it, and press the dish on Hie bag with the reats enclosed ; slake the dish, and the Hour will ad lierje to the cracks.

Tliere was a good ileal of fuss about that time between tlie Uric and Cen tral on tbs reduction of fares, so tliat the reporter asked : Wliat will be tlie end of putting down railroad fares Colonel ?" " Knd ! why we havctit begun yet.

" It runs faster and smoother. When Judge Porter went up with me in the Directors" ear last whiter, we passed 200 canal boats, about a mile apart, on the ' Delaware and Hudson Canal. Tlie train went so fast that tlie Judge came hick aud reported tliat he saw one gigantic canal boat ten miles long. Fact, sir ! We went so fast tlie Jhdge couldn't see tlie gaps." ; "Are Site other railroads going to help you hi tills fight," asked tlie re porter. " Why, yes and as fast as they are convinced that we are going to make a flrsfckiss fight, they say tliey will lielp us but they want to see Vanderbilt tied fast first." J Here the ohVnel threw himself in to bis favorite attitude leaning for ward in his chair, with his ellaiwa on his knees. Then said lie : "Do you know what these other half scared railroad fellows remind me of?" " No, what ?" " Tliey put me in mtml of the old Texas farmer whose neighbors had caught a noted cattle thief. After catching him, they tied him to a tree, hands and feet, and each one gave him a terrible cowhiding. When tired of walloping him, they left tlie poor thief tied to the tree, hand and foot. He remained tied up there a good while in great agony, till by-and-by lie saw with delight 'a strange man coining along. t Who are yon IV said tlie kindly looklnc stranger. "Pm Bill Smith, and I've been whipped almost to death," said the man in a pitiful tone. "Ah, fill I Smith! and how could tliey whip you ?" asked the sympa thizing stranger.

Then he flogged l;1m awhile, just as all these small railroad feuqws woukUtKe to nog vanuerbiit when we once ret him tied." But, alas, they never get Vanderbilt tied. when engineers would bridge a stream, tliey often carry over at first but a single thread. With tliat they stretah a wire across.
