COURTESY OF BANCROFT LIBRARY, What Caused their Defeat Mission oi the Democracy. The Governor elect of Xew York, in a speech at Syracuse, sums up the causes which led to the defeat of the Administration in the following able manner. lie starts by saying that the Federal Administration is tainted with abuses, with jobbery, and with corruption. In the domin ion which it maintains over the re constructed Southern States organ ized pillage on a scale tenfold larger than that of the Tweed "ring" is the scandal and shame of the country. Civil liberty is endangered. It is now certain that 1'resiueut urant nourishes the bad ambition of a third tetm. If the sacred tradition estab- ished by Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Jackson can bo broken, the President may be re-elected in definitely, and wielding from the centre the immense patronage w inch will grow out of such vast usurpa tion of authority by the Federal Gov ernment he would grasp the means of corrupt influence by which to car- v the elections. There will be no organized thing in the country of sufficient power to compete with him or to resist him. The forms of free government mav remain, but the spirit and substance will be changed. An elective personal despotism will have been established, li-oman his tory in the person of Augustus Ctesar will be repeated. Thoughtful men ire turning their minds to the means of escape from the overshadowing evils. The lladical party cannot save he countiT. Ideas of governmental meddling and centralism dominate over it. Class interests hold it firmly to evil courses. Throngs of office- lolders, contractors, and jobbers who iave grown up m lourteen vears oi its administration in four vears of war and during an era of pajcr mon ey are too strong in the machinery of the party for the honest and well- intending masses of tho Padicals' The lladical party co-aid contribute argeiv to maintain the Union during the civil war. It cannot reconstruct civil liberty and free institutions af ter the peace. A change of men is necessary, to secure a change ol mea sures. The opposition is being ma tured and educated to attack the Ad ministration. The Democracy, with the tradi tions of its best days, will form the nucleus of the opposition. It cm braces vastly the larger body of men of sound ideas and sound practices in political life. It must remove ev ery faint which has touched it in evil times. It must become a compact ind homogenous mass. It must gath- . ii ii i iir.i.ii er to us alliance an wno iuiiik me iauie tilings concerning the interests f our liepublie.

Now in the name of the regen- ited Democracy, whom we present -. .i.".! i 1 - 1 we declare that in mis great wont n. will tread no step backward. Come weal or come woe, it will not lower its liar. 11 will go forward until a )olitical rev. ilnt ion will be worked principles of Jefferson shall rule in the admin out and the and Jackson istration of the ledoral. Government. Let us obey the patriotic maxim of old Rome, 'never to despair of our country. Actual evils can be miti gated. 13ad tendencies can be turned aside. The burdens of government can bo diminished, productive indus try will be renewed, and frugality will repair the waste of our resources. Then shall the golden days of the liepublie once more return, and the people become prosperous and happy. To effect such a beneficient purpose, is the mission of Democracy.

A correspondent writing to the Commercial Bulletin gives an account of the scale upon which farming is done at- tho "West. The following extract from his letter refers to the Illinois farmer millionaire and his broad acres: The farm is that of M. L. Sullivan of Rurr Oak, near Chatsworth, Liv ingstone county, Illinois, and is not only a big bat a well managed and profitable enterprise. The farm is eight miles square, containing 40,000 acres 04 sections Government sur vey. It is subdivided into 32 farms of 1,200 acres each. Each has a caji tain and a First and Second Lieuten eut, all under the control of a Commander-in-Chief, its owner and Brig adier General J. M. Minor. There are 15,000 acres under the plow, over 10,000 of which are in corn, which looks finely. This required 1,000 bushels of corn for seed this year. The remainder of the farm is used for grazing and small grain and grass. There are 250 miles of hedge, be sides fences; 150 miles of ditch for draining wet land; 200 men and 400 workhorses and mules are used on the farm. There are employed also, one surveyor, two book-keepers, four blacksmiths and eight carpenters. An accurate account is kept with each farm and each man, horse and mule horses and mules being all named or numbered and charged with the amount paid for them and their food and credited with their labor. There is no more regular or systematic set of books kept in any banking or manufacturing establish ment than Mr. Sullivan's. The whole of this land was entered from the Government about twenty years ago by its present owner, at $1 25 per acre. The farm at this time, with the improvements made upon it and personal property con nected with it is valued at 2,000,000. So you see we have a millionaire in Central Illinois in the person of a sturdy farmer, who shows "what I know about farming" by his works, andean stand in the center" of his farm and say truthfully, "I am monarch of all I survey." This farming seems to havo paid. TIi j Country Skool Mom. She is invariably just about twenty-three years and six months old, and remains rite thare for a term ov years. Shu wears her hair either kut short or hanging around in ringlets, and iz az precise in all things az one ov Fairbank's improved plrtform scales. She never laffs out loud, and el dum even smiles, but when she does, she does it acconliu to the rules laid down by Murra3' for speakiu out and pronounein the iuglish langwage kor rocktly. She is the very essence ov dabble extradited propriety, and -would rath er be four years behind the frshuns, in her dress . ml bonnit, than to spel a word wrong, or parce a sentene in-korr-jckliy. She l:e-o-)S a scrap book and an al bv. r.::d would proper rather to hav the av.togir.fi ov sum inilk-p.nd-water poet, than the name, ov sum good man to a sixty-days note. - Tho country skool mom seldum dies an old meid; she gets married generally to sum man who haz but little edukashun, and ho thinks (as he ought to) that thare aint anuther such a larnt woman az his wife on the face of the oarth. With all her precise phoolishness, her pompous knolledge, her silky sentimentalism, and her allmost all wuss mistakin manner for matter, i respekt the country skool mom; she taut ne mi letters, she waz pashunt when i waz stoopid, she soothed me when i wus frackshus, and she often (good sole) giv me a titbit from lunchion at nooa time. May kind heaven strew sum kind ov happiness in her pathway, for she iz p;iid poorly, worked hardly and the stepmother to everybody's chil dren y she never seceives from the world ennything better than the most formel respekt. Tre of the of the Value of an Office. One most remarkable illustrations value of an important office during Republican rule is found in the present Cabinet, no member of which, at the time of accepting the position,- was in what is usuallv termed moderate circumstances, and some of them were quite poor. They are allowed a salary of $8,000 per annum, and it probably costs them each about $0,000 per annum to live in the style that their respective po sitions demand. Ihis would leave them each about 82,000 per year clear profit, or, sav $10,000 during tho time they have been in office. The real facts are that none have saved less than a quarter of a million, an; several have stowed awav over a mil lion, and one of them over two mil lions out of their salaries. Aecprd ing to these figures, which are cor reel, a position in tne Uabmet ol Ulysses is as good a birth as any ordinary mortal could wish. A young man in Fairfield, Iowa received a letter from his trirl last Sunday, and five minutes after read ing it, shot himself dead. Every woman in the town would give ten years of her life to know what the letter comtained that made the young man feel so.

In commenting upon the failure of a newspaper manager, the St. Louis Globe tells a plain truth in the fol lowing words: The bnsinespf jour nalism will continue to bo an inviting field for experiments to those who. have a large amount of money, and a large amount of egotism. A man who, having edited a newspaper un til he was 40, should suddenly an nounce himself a lawyer would bo regarded as a fool by the legal pro fession; and yet we often hear of lawyers of 40 making sudden pre tensions to journalism. There is an idea that editing requires no appren ticeship; that editors come forth from law offices and colleges fully prepared for the profession, like Pal las from the brow of Jove. It is a mistake; there is not in America to- O day a single journalist of national reputation who has not devoted more hard work to his profession than, with equal fitness and application, would have made him a great lawyer or a good doctor. And yet ninety out of every hundred men you meet on tho street will hesitate about car rying a hod or making a pair of shoes, whereas there will probably not bo one in the hundred who can't accord ing to his own judgment, edit any newspaper in theapountry better than it is edited, no matter in what man- i ner or by wuom. Profits of Oregon Wool Grow ing. Owing to tuo mildness of the climate of Oregon, both in summer and winter, and tho opportunities afforded for the judicious selection of grasses, the production of sheep and wool promises to become tho most important, as it is now themost irofitable business m tho State. Sheep farmers can raise wool for 12 cents a pound. All got above that is clear profit, lhe average price this season was 20 cents, so that the sheepmen had a clear profit of 15q cents a pound on all the wool they aised. That would be GO cents clear profit, and the lowest calculation on each common sueep, yielding an av erage of 4 pounds each, and 81 20 on the thoroughbreds; some improved stock vield 8, and even 10 pounds each. The clip of wool this season in Oregon will not exceed 1,500,000 pounds; was it not for the scab dis ease it would bo 1,750,000 pounds. Tho price was favorable to the pro ducer it ranged from 25 to 33 cents per pound. The grading is being gradually introduced, and that is a great encouragement to the in troduction of good stock, It will be seen that Oregon farmers realize ten per cent, and something more on thpir wool. No industries in tho East can s1bw such profits. U. S, LJrortom ist. A well-to-do farmer's wife at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, has a remarkably so ciable manner of crusading. Sho stands in the streets, throws a brick througli the window of a saloon, and whispers so as to be heard three blocks, " I'm going to die in glory! And her husband stands across tho road and fervently ejaculates 'Amen!' -j- ' , Jones says he first met his wife in a storm, took her to the first ball in a storm, popped the question in a storm, married her in a storm, lived in a storm during his subsequent married life, and buried her in pleasant weather. ; New Jersey has found a method of manufacturing rum from cranber ries, which is said to have a longer rane that even untamed lightning, thelatter only kills at forty rods, while the former is deadly at most anv distance.
