, Oh My!
" , Jhe"2Ymcs" hero has just mined
oaHittle article on "Immigration
.. and the June Election." However
he's pleased that "we "derive conso
lation c." Thank'ee Mr. Times,
2s Batit'was very unkind in you to
disclostTthtffact that -we're 'an office
seelcer," and thereby destroy our
prospect of convening ourself into an
Electoral college in 1880, and gain
ing distinction by the manufacture
of a President. .But we have hopes
of gaining favor in your eyes by
fcontriving a new dictionary, by
skillful use of which no ian need
seek for office in vain, and if you
vfont betray our purpose further, we
maynet-you'into the secret; it will
do away with the untrustworthy
medium of telegraphy. But return
ing to the subject, neighbor, where
in the name of common sense do
"yo'ugetsuch dashing array of big
, words? "Vacuity in his joy
.. .".mawkish sentimentausm, "con-
tXgratulatory eloquence," "uniquely
'arrauged," &c. Another evidence
of the penetrating wisdom of this
T - rising star in the field of eloquent
democratic journalism is that he has
' discovered "hypocricy." Certainly
lie cannot mean that there is not an
". ' increase of 230 polls, as shown by
"the assessment roll. He can not
v meau that we do not believe the
evidence, that there are that num
ber so reported. lie docs not deny
that a great majority of the newly
arrived voters are Republicans, but
" disposes of the whole subject by the
uuanawerable argument that we do
1 not 'believe -what we have said, aud
t ' J tbentdrks of -"the ridicule of the
v ' average citizen." Really after not
ing in nearly every issue of the
Times tho frequent occurrence of
phrases as "average citizen," "av
t fi'rage hoodlum," average traveler,"
tr "average voter," and many other
phrases in which the word "aver-vja"-
stands out in bold relief,
.if o've come to the conclusion that
. he disposes of every Bubject on the
-oplan of "general average," and runs
' '3n Democratic newspaper on the
jplanof "general average." That
'" ,B'tbB plan of 'general average' he
"' , concludes that we want office, that
' ' we are a hypocrrt, that emigrants
" -MP all democrat-, and that the peo
7 jfle wJio have .heretofore ibowed
thoit mocks to tho Democratic yoke
wili continue do do so. Having dc
eirterminod that he has gravely
isolved all the foregoing problem on
utho plan of general average, and in
' absence of evidence to the cont a-
- ry, wo can only conclude that he is
-u'ttmself the standard by which he
' "Xnnkes the average.

Democratic Principles IiiceBsist-
teHtlwith (he Interests at
Edacatieit.
In his first recommendations to
Congress, Jan 8tb, 1790, President
"Washington, among other suggest
ions, said: "You will agree with
me in opinion that there is nothing
which can belter deserve your pat
ronage than .the promotion of sci
ence and literature. He goes on to
suggest how this may be best pro
moted. And in his farewell ad
dress he oommends the promotion
of learning in the most emphatic
terms, and amorg other things
said: "Promote as an .object of
primary importance institutions for
.the general diffusion of knowledge.
In proportion as the structure of
government gives force to public
opinion lit is essential that public
opinion should bo .enlightened."
Under the ever watchful eye and
jealous care of the immortal "Wash
ington, and by the apjuoval and en
ergy of others who saw and jecog-
nized the undeniable truth that ed
ucation is the great frame work, or
rather the substance of all good
government, and under tho protect
ing vine of liberty, free speech, free
press, equal rights and protection
to all, education sprang forth with
a strength and vigor not before
witnessed in any clime or under
any form of gcvernment. This was
particularly true of one section of
the nation, but would not apply to
another and very important section.
And while under the influence of
education one section flourished,
grew in wealth, in happiness, re
sounded with all the improvements
of the age, nay as a hot bed
whence sprang most of those great
inventions and discoveries which
have astonished tho world and
made it stand aghast with wonder
at the astonishing progress and gen
eral diffusion of a knowledge of tho
arts aud sciences,- another great and
not lcs3 important section seemed
to liug.er.a3 it were under tho very
shades of the dark ages. There ig
norance was the general rule, while
enlightenment from education con
stituted the exception. "While at
the north the advice of the Father
of his country, and the natural in
stinct inherent in creatures of intel
ligence wa3 followed with avidity
and has secured to this nation tho
first position in the ranks of nations.
At the south the tyrant, ignorance,
placed his foot on the throat of ed
ucation, and from base and merce
nary motives throttled this bene
factor of mankind in its incipiency.
Isone but the rich and powerful
being permitted in many cases
under heavy peualties sanctioned by
law to acquire that education and
intelligence which is the birth
right of all God's creatures under a
free government. At the north
was light and learning, at tho South
darkness and ignorance. Why
this stain aud stigma upon a nation
claiming to be great, powerful aud
free? The answer is slavery, which
can oulv exist where ignorance
reigns. "Wo kuow it will be said
that we are treading forbidden
ground, but bear with us and see
tho conclusion. With the dawn of
intelligence attendant upon the
progress of education, this cloud of
ignorance was naturally dispelled
as a mist before the noonday sun.
Slavery and universal intelligence
could not exist together, and the
weakness of ignorance was forced to
give way before the mighty power
of education and its attendant intel
ligence. But no fiend of darkness
was ever known to surrender with
out a struggle, hence the long war
with which we are all so familiar.
When in pursuing any snbject we
determine where truth and error
rests, it is not a difficult matter to
determine who ore the champions
of the one and tbe other. It is a
well known fact tint a maioritv of
the two great partks of tke nation l'&f ,,hf Northern Pacific nil

, , , .5-. ...
theiaBa-JHaidpfisnorance wlnle
.the Democratic part3',Jollowiug tho
principles, npon'whtdi it Avns found -
'cl aud the puqirvse which gave it
identity as a party in the nation,
espoused the cause of slavery.
The positions of the two great par
ties are thus fully defined; the Re
publican'party battles' for freedom,
education and intelligence, the
Democratic ' party for slavery and
all its attendant evils, necessary to
the very existence of which we find
war to the death upon education.
Slavery is now extinct, but its
Wighting curse is yet felt througout
the land. Wo havo now deduced
from our observations the followins
facts, -viz: that education and slav
ery cannot exist together. That
since the establishment of our na
tion, the north has encouraged edu
cation and its consequent prosperity
and progress has astonished tho
world. That the South has attempt
ed to maintain slavery in violation
of the laws of God and common in
telligence, and has consequently
seen its people groping in ignor
ance, and its fair vallies drenched
with blood. The principles upon
wnicn the Kepuolican party is
founded have had their birth under
all the influences of education, and
are adapted to the country as it is.
The Democratic party is founded
upon pfincip'les'that'had their origin
in ignoranoe, for the purpose of
perpetuating slaueiy, -and conse
quently are not adapted to that
condition of -education and intelli
gence which it was the peculiar
province of that party to oppose
and prevent. The one is 6elfish And
for the gain of a few, the other is
founded on universal principles of
public policy and the general good
of mankind. The one was establish
ed under the benign influences of
intelligence and for the promotion
of education; the other was estab
lished under the vicious influences
of slavery and its attendant ignor
ance, Jbr the perpetuation of both.
Slavery is now extinct the princi
ples that had their origin for its.ex
tcusion and perpetuity certainly
itvU! not he contended arc suffi
ciently .pliable to turn now to the
promotion coeducation which it has
been their peculiar province to dis
courage for he 'hist 'three score and
teufl'e.irs. Ihe principles ot the
Democratic part are uo more fitted
for the government of the United
States, and the furtherance of .edu
cation, than would ithc statutes of
Mexico be fur itho government if
California.
Uniquely Arranged Figure.
Jackson county Democratic journ
al of physic is getting very uneasy
over the pr03pect3 of soon losing
control of political affairs in this
county, but makes an admirable at
tempt to keep tip courage and ap
pearances by feigning a supreme
disgust for our prophecy of their
doom, based upon facts -uud figures
which they do not deny, and which
the "average citizen" already ad
mits to be more than probable. It
is really laughable with what a
symetry of movement it disposes of
matters plain to all, auu nourishes
all opposition out of existence by
6imply putting ot its judicial cap.
And with .the frown apd gusto of" f.
Turkish monarch pronounces all
things, not in strict harmony wijth
Democratic supremacy, as 'mat
tersjoo i.usignifican.t,t6 invite atteu
tention or comment.' Of course
this argument .convinces his aver
age citizeq.
