according to a resolution adopted 'by a

meeting of the wise men of the Democratic
party at the State Capital.
"What they propose to do how long

' Before another issue of our paper the
adminislratioa of to-day will have passed,
and new m"n will occupy scats of power
in the land. Seldom, if ever, have the
loyal American people looked forward to
the fourth of March .with brighter hopes
than now. The day is anticipated, not
simply as one which is to witness the in
duction into ofiicc the highest office
within the gift of the people of a new
man, but the inauguration of a new and
UeUer era in our national life. The na
tion has borne", with pal-ience the follies,
not to say political crimes, of one whom
one of the deepest tragedies of history
placed in tlie position of its chief ruler,
and it is not unwilling now to permit hini
to" pass quietly down "into the vale of
vars " Rather than endure the shame
and reproach which his administration has who controlled it were unequal to the
broi-ht upon us as a people, we would task imposed upon tbetu ; and the re

A little, little grave, an obscure grave." j in Oregon last June, under pledges oi
Nearly four years have passed since the j economy, retrenchment, reform; and when
forces of the rebellious States laid down j tho legislature met there was nothing to

chaos, or in any manner, benelit the State
by another meeting. It is useless for
Democrats to complain ; because their
complaints must be directed against men
of their own party.
It is idle to in.-ist that there was not
time to enact all necessary laws, because
nine-tenths of the time was occupied in
malting intensely Democratic speeches
passing intensely Democratic resolutions,
and enaciirg intensely Democratic laws.
Republican members, being in a minori
ty, were compelled to submit to all this,
but when the time prescribed in the Con
stitution had expired, there was nothing
cither in law or reason to compel them to
remain to minister to the growing ambition
of their enemies.
If the late Legislature failed to enact
necessary laws, it was only because those
rightly adjusting the various questions of
civil polity arising immediately thereafter,
proved faithful to his trust, all these years
would not have been year3 of disorder and
confusion in the States just emerging into
freedom, or of anxiety and fear am jug the
loyal portion of the people. This would
be Moses has not kept a new-born people

' .make hay while the sun shone-' they en
tirely torgot that time was passing, and
omitted to make the appropriations neces
sary to meet their increased expenses.
That the late Democratic legislature
was a miserable failure is true, but it is

to a great extent exposed to the scorn and

those once in authority over them. "We
anticipate that offices of trust wiit be given
to men who are seeking not personal ag
grandizement, but the public good. In
days past there has been too much polit
ical corruption, even under the purest ad
ministrations. Concerning the days which
are immediately to follow we cheri.-u no
Utopian dreams, but we do have a reason
able ground for hope, that the men called
into our national couaciis. or sent to rep
resent us in foreign courts, will hi quali
fied for the duties assigned them. We an
ticipate that the affairs of government will i
be administered with a strong band an 1 a J
steady nerve, that no traitorous influences j
will cause the chief executive to vaclh

lieve that he who gave the rebellion its
death blows on the field of battle will
prove successful in thwarting ail the
political schemes of its adherents. We
expect retrenchment in our national ex
penditures, and greater confidence in our
national securities by an indignant rejec
tion of all ideas of repudiation. "We ex
pect to sea our internal resources more
fully developed by the impetus given to
industry under the administration of men
fresh from the ranks of the people and
fully in sympathy with them. It is 'possi
ble that we may be disappointed incur
expectations, yet the past record of the
men coming into power furnishes us a
sure ground of h pe. Disappointed- as
pirants for office may seek to throw obsta

Kow we will venture to suggest to these
red hot politicians that there is such a
thing as common sense, (though it may
not be found in paying quantities among
Democratic politicians.) and if Ihey will
consult the dictates of common sense a
moment they will see that Governor
"Woods is but allowing these fellows a fair
chance to complete what' Ihey promised
to do when they adjourned, to meet on the
ith of .March. They must have had some
plan matured by which they expected to
ba able to obtain a quorum, else why
promise to meet again ? "Was the shadow

will remember that Gov. Wovds, in a
message to the House, insisted that it
proceed to business with the quorum it
already had ; and it is not probable he will
recede from that posi;ion.
The question is often anxiously asked
: "Will the Governor call an extra se.-.sion '"'
The iate rump house attempted to call an
extra session itselt. by resolving to meet
again on the lib of March. If the rump had
power to do this it does not require any
help from the Governor, and il it had not
power to do this, there will be something
funny in watching them while they attempt
to run the State alone.

Speakinir of the plot which re
sulted in the assassination of Presi

sion of Arnold, the Boston Advertise
er says; It confirms what has been
our own theory, Ihcfc several more
persons were enjoyed in the scheme
headed by John Wilkes Booth, than
have yet been detected, or even
named in connection with it. It
tends, so far as the wild and absurd
outline of a project to kidnap Mr.
Lincoln from the theatre goes, to
prove that the leaders in the plot only
used this as a blind to delude their
humbler followers, such as Arnold
and O'Laughlin, until the time came
for unfolding the real design of assas
sination; for the idea of two or three
stiiplings seizing and handcuffing
Abraham Lincoln in the box of a
theater, and lowering him to the
stage to be carried away in a buggy,
never could have been seriously enter
