THE INDEPENDENT. Hillsboro, December 4, 1871. Onr exchanges -will please di rect their papers to Hillsboro from iliisdate. Not Democratic Victories New Parties Wanted. The Democracy are badly mistak en if they think that their victories in the fall elections was an indorse ment of the principles of the Demo cratic party, either Bourbon or Con servative. These victories were de feats to the Republican party .through default as statistics prpve. The elections were Republican de feats anti-Butler, anti-Grant victo tories. To the Independent Repub licans belong the victories of the Op position, and it is an unparalleled assumption for the Democracy to as cribe these Republican reverses to a conversion to Democratic principles. What principles for conscience sake old or new, have the Democracy, to win the confidence or support of the people? The Democratic party i the worst cxamjrfe of chaos that his tory has preserved since creation. It has no declared national policy whrch is as much as to say it has none, because its members cannot unite on any well defined policy. It ives, and it lives 1 because of the corruption and decay of the Republican party, not for anv virtue of its own. It has ac- cepted the principles of the Hepub- lican party, won on the battle fields j uewspapers tunt wouiu auerue of the rebellion, and why ? because ! gambling in any shape or form and it was compelled to accept them or ' that would put a step to this nefari perish. And what corrupt or unwise j ous and demoralizing business, legislation has the Republican paity j Let tIC i)earm7ry Tlieir Demi. made or moved that was not support ed by the dmocracy? But little. And what new principle do the De mocracy propose? Not even echo nor the wandeing breezes answer. The Democratic party has no national policy. In the South and West it declares for free trade, in some of the Eastern and Middle Statos it wants a protective tariff,and in some of the States it wants a tariff for revenue. And on the question of national finances it is just as weak and chaotic as on the question of tariff. And how does it stand on the railroad question. It would say, if it dared, that the rail road companies have vested rights and the people cannot regulate their i it.. !l commerce. Ana consequently it declares that the people have no right to regulate a monopoly of any kind, notwithstanding these monop olies have charters from the people, given to the companies by the pro pie for the good of the people. And thus we see a great party great at first for its virtues, next for its crimes and then foritsimbecility-prc scnting the singular spectacle of a party without a single national prin ciple. And the Republican party, while it has given birth to the great principles of personal liberty and a truly paramount and national Gov ernment, has nothing new to pro pose. Both parties have fulfilled their mission and new rmties are wanted to carry forward the mission of the Republic. Party discipline, patronage and desire for continu ance of power, constrict individual freedom and retard national prog ress. The Democratic party ought to have been buried when it died, and the Republican party has accom plished its work, and wo need new parties to bury the hatred and cor ruption of the old. to give us fra ternal peace and unity East, "West, North and South and launch the Re public forward on a new career of prosperity and glory. We want new and progressive parties to grapple with and solve the great question? which now affect our welfare and ex cite the profound study of the great est minds of the age. Within the last two decades the United States has doubled its population and trip pled its wealth, and vast corpora tionsthat had their birth in the throes of the rebellion, have grown and fat tened upon the nation's necessities, and their overshadowing power threatens to monopolize the rightful heritage of the people and dictate the policy of the Government. We want a party now that will grapple with these corporations and teach them that the great national high wars and the lands of the nation, bequeathed to men by Heaven, can not be monopolized, but are the common heritage of the xcoplc. Loltery Swindles. A gentleman of this place has presented us some tickets from the "Texas Gift Concert Associa tion," which were lately received by Mrs. Adams near this place. The "Association" wanted Mrs. A. to send them $2 00 for the tickets, which would entitle her to three chances for a grand prize of $50, 000 (in a horn.) "We would warn oar readers one and all against these infernal lottery swindles. They are gotten up generally by a lot of knaves who in this way make a liv ing off of a gullible public. Boys and young men often send money to these lotteries and so-called gift as sociations and that is the last they hear of it, and it serves them right. The lottery business is a species of gambling and no parent should allow his children to engage in it. Because some of them are indorsed by men of respectabil'- and arc ex tensively advertised by the press does not alter the fact that the lot tery is a gambling institution. And here we enter our protest against the secular press of the United States. There is scarcely a non-religious newspaper in the Union but advertises for lotteries and the demor alization of our youth caused there- bv is fearful to contemplate. You j - can scarcely take up a political or a temperance paper without finding an advertisement of the "Gift Con cert" in Virginia, or the Gift Concert in Kentucky. The parents of families ought to refuse to take Ill reffcrencc to the leader in last Saturday's Pullet in in which the edi tor undertakes to reunite the Repub lican party, a friends writes us the following pithy shot which will save us the trouble of any comment on the "leader:" 'The loy stood on the burning deck Whence all but him had fled." J. Gastou, Esq., comes out in a straight out Republican manifesto and acknowledges the sad bereav ment of all that used to be near and dear to him. He says, "Let the dead past bury its dead," which the same is good for a man that has got through with his job sooner than the rest by having considerable outside I help to do his family burying fur him. As for Washington county she has got done with the funeral busi ness, paid the doctor, sex ton and obituary bills, and her next business will be to bury the remains of her enemies and deodorize the premises. You heep shabee, Jos- A Word to Farmers. Farmers would do well to feed their wheat to hog3 now and thereby convert it into cash. Pork is sell ing in this market at six cents and bacon at sixteen cents per pound. At these rates by feeding their wheat to hogs farmers could dispose of their wheat at a dollar a bushel. Far mers must diversify their farm pro ducts more, and not depend entirely on selling grain. Every farmer should raise hogs and cottle or sheep into which he can put his wheat when he cannot get a fair price for it. Fat cattle will'pell for cash ev ery winte.x and at good prices. Stall fed cattle bear a better price in the market for beef than other kind. The crreater resources that the farmers have the less liable arc they to be "cornered" by monoxlies and they will get better juices for their produce. Scud us tlie News- School boys and girls, teachers, doctors, ministers, merchants.black- smiths, mechanics, farmers, every bod v. nlease send us the news. We X want the news from every neighbor hood in the county every week. Write us short and truthful accounts of neighborhood occurrences. It don't matter how you spell or write so that you tell all the facts. We will put tho matter in shape to suit ourself. Whatever contributions we get for the editorial page we will give credit, but for local news, un less requested to g've credit by the contributor, we shall appropriate remorselessly. Wo will send the Independent free to some one per son in each precinct who will write us the news regularly aiid faithfully. TELEGRAPHIC! Indianapolis , November 25.
