FRIDAY. APRIL 10. 1S72.
THE t'AMlMIUX PKSE1.
11)C rival candiilates for Con
grens met in debate at Portland
lat Monday uiglit, and before one
of the largest audiences that ever
assembled in that city, presented
their opposing political views. The
audience was attentive throughout,
each speaker Iwing frequently cheer
ed by partisan friends as his points
were strongly made. 1 lie main
points attempted to be made by Mr.
Burnett were based on the capital
ami labor question, the tariff, our
national banking system and Gov
ernment laial grants for internal
improvements. The positions taken
by Mr. Burnett on these questions
were ably and successfully contro
verted by Judge Wilson. On tlie
question of the tariff, he proved that
the Democratic party in its plat
form in 1808 occupied the same po
sition now advocated by the He
publican party of this State; that if
the tariff was higher now than in
1828, (as Mr. Burnett asserted)
that it was no burden as there was
forty times as much produce, etc.,
to raise it on ; and that more than
half of the Democrats in Congress
had always voted tor the tariff laws ;
that local or State interest governed
in that matter; that while the peo
ple of Illinois, who wereall farmers,
had instructed their Republican
Congressmen to oppose the tariff',
tlie people of Pennsylvania, who
were all manufacturers, instructed
their Democratic Representatives to
advocate a high tariff; that with
out a tariff there would lie a dearth
of labor in the mills, the same as
there now exists in our shipyards.
On the question of land giants for
internal improvements, which Mr.
Burnett most earnestly opposed,
Judge Wilson, in reply, read from
the State Democratic platform of
1870 where the Democracy call
ed on Government for just such a
grant as Mr. Burnett now so earn
estly denouced. But this was not
all. Nearly every other principle,
said Judge Wilson, enunciated two
years ago was now ignored, ami
many ot them utterly discarded.
This change of front, Judge Wilson
denounced as an e'lfort to gull the
people who did not think fid' them
selves. It made no difference, said
Judge Wilson, whether thea) rail
roads are held by monopolists or
not, so long as they do goal to the
country. If it were not for the land
grant to the Northern and Califor
nia railroad, monopoly as it is now
called, it would not Ih? built at all.
The position of Mr. Burnett on
banking was that lie though paper
money a curse, and National Banks
were only intended to destroy the
liberties of the jieople. 1 le thought
there was no reason why the coun
try could not get along without pa
per money, as it did beforfthe war.
That period, "liefore the war," is
not so long passed, but what fbme
ot us can remember whether there
was any very great destitution of pa
perinotif jr t Uiat time. Weivinem
ber seoing a good del in circu'ation,
we think, issued under I tanking laws
made by the different States. We
hlM'viipt .fiTgottori hdv insecure
s4Se of i was, how often at a . dis
count, and how liable to break at
ajjy rnp. ' Contrast the pajicr
ntotoy issued by these State banks,
(EVild cat currency" much of it
weut by the name of), their insecu
r with our National Bank paper,
its sicurity based on tlie credit of
the Nation, and what is the con
clusion ? "In regard to the home
std law, Judge Wilson said the
only veto President Buchanan ever
gave-was to that law. Ju regaixl
to corruption, he challenged the
Democracy to name one on their
side who had ever been pun
ished tor any crime. Ho spoke

prominent points made by Judge
Wilson in refutation of positions as

Portland. As these gentlemen will
be with us this evening, let every
one attend and hear for himself!
A large mass meeting was held
at the Brooklyn Academy of Music,
New York, on the night of the lOlh,
at which resolutions eulogizing the
Administration and urging the re
nomination of Grant and Colfax
j were adopted with hearty applause.
I Henry Ward Beecher was the prin
cipal speaker. He snke in high
I terms of the honesty and success of
j Grant's Administration, and said
I that Grant had fulfilled all the
promises he had made in his letter
of acceptance in 18G8. lie said
l that though a military man, Grant
was the first President to treat the
j Indians with humanity. Jle consul-
ereil the Administration, as a whole,
, a noble success, and lxdieved the
! old Republican organization destin
ed to la? led to large victories m tlie
future. He said if he thought the
Cincinnati Convention should force
j the Philadelphia Convention to take
a purer and more advanced platform,
he should be glad, but he was op-
i posed to so dividing the Republi
cans as te enable tli? Democrats to
get into power- He said that Sena
tors Sumner, Schiirz and Trumbull
could not make a new party.
Governor G rover, so far, in his
srhemes and plotting to secure his
nomination to the Tinted Slates
Senate, has carried a full hand. So
slyly and vet expertly has he man
ipulated the cards, as to deceive !
some of the "very elect." He played i
a trump card even in the house of
J Nesmith's friends. He played double j
'on Slater, on Helm. He mado
promises to Burnett's friends. Hay
! den, it seems, was the only aspirant
j whom he had not tickled. We
: know not what Helm, Slater and
, Havden may do, for these Demo-
F i

New London, Connecticut, has a
doctor who has adopted the popu-

"Anybody in here gut the rheunia-1
tistn, coughs, colds, neuralgia, heart J
i disease, small pox, or anything
else?" On receiving a negative
answer he retorts, "(Had of it,"
; bangs the door and moves on.
All the universities and colleges j
! in the country will have to stand I
from under Stephen Andrews' Pan-;
tarehftl establishment when it once
goes into working order. His uni
versity, which has been registered
for corporation at Washington is
to teach everything from shoe-mak-ing
to astronomy. It is to have
nineteen first class and ten thous
and second class professorships, It
is to lie hoped that this discrimina
tion is not made in favor of second
class education.
A Syracuse genius has discovered
a method by which a water wheel
can be run without water. For
water he substitutes small iron
balls, which run into the buckets of
the wheel, and being discharged
Mow into a receptacle provided for
the purpose are carried up by an
elevator propelled by the wheel, to
do service as long as the turning of
the wheel is desired. 7'he boys
will do well to watch the success of
this device, as it may show how
they can elevate themselves to any
given height by the straps of their
boots. And then, the use of balls
once successful, water might be used
in the same way a plan of great
importance to many mills in a -dry
time."
People may cry "hold ! enough!" I
till their lungs are exhausted, but '
the crop of Presidential and Vice
Presidential candidates bids fair to !
grow no smaller. William Allen, j
of Ohio, and ex-Governor Knglish, '
ot Connecticut, are the last reckless
champions to slue their castors in
the arena.
Kentiickians can not understand
why their land, which is as fertile
and conveniently situated aslsny in
the United States, should advance
so slowly in value. Let them rub
the mould of decayed political ideas
and institutions out of their eyes,

The effort of the Democracv in
j this State to array labor against
capital, is wrong. There is no nat-

two. Thev are naturally depend -

tended to pander to the prejudices

of that class ot mind, who, either

and laltor so necessary to hu
man happiness, or who desire
sire something for which they have
no desire or ability to return an
equivalent.
At the sitting ot the tribunal for
the settlement of the Alabama
1 claims on the 15th, Great Britain
and the I'nited States were only
j represented the former by Lord
Tenterdeu, Taylor and Bernard, the
latter by Bancroft, Davis, Cashing
and Barnes. Documents were de
livered to the Secretary of the tri
bunal for transmission to the arbi
trators. How inconsistent and brazen for
Democracy to lie prating about
"one man power," one man influ

the State, at least in the valley,

it, if it exists. Pomeroy was right
