"A Magnificent Conception. XVonderfully carried out." The necessity of a popular medium for tbe representation of the productions of our great artists, has always been recog nized, and many attempts have been made to meet the want. The successive failures which so invariable followed each attempt in this country to establish an art journal, did not prove the indinVrence of the American people to the claims of high art. So soon as a proper appreciation of the want and an ability to meet it were shown, the public at once ralied with enthusiasm- to its support, and the result was a preat. artistic and commercial triumph THKAL1HXK. THE ALIiIXE, while Issued with all the regularity, has none of the temporary or timely interest characteristic of ordinary lcriodieals. It is an elegant miscellany of pure, liht, and ffraceful literature ; arid a collection of pictures, the rarest specimens of artistic skill, in black and white. Al though each succeeding number alTords a fresh pleasure to'its friends, the real value and beauty of TheA'dine will be most ap preciated after it Is bound up at the close of the year. While other publications may claim superior cheapness, as compar ed with rivals of a similar class, TOe Aldine is an unique and original conception alone and unapproached absolutely with out competition in price or character. The I assessor of a complete volume could riot duplicate the quantity of fine paper and engravings in any other shape or number of volumes for ten times its cost ; and then there is the chromo besides!

Some of our "independent" papers indulge occasionally in wild writings about the probable proximate disso lution of the two old parties, and the creation of a new organization out of the best elements of the defunct bodies-politic; but we fail to see any signs of such an impending decease, or of such reorganization from the ashes of J,he ancient antagonists in the political conflicts of the-eoontry. There are only . two ways in which great political parties which have at any time been a majority and held possession of the general government h;TJ ever disappeared from cur politics. There have been but four such parties since the organization of the government the Democratic party, which has existed from that day to this; the Federal party; the Whigs, and the present "Republi can" party. The Democratic party was also called Republican when it was organized under Jefferson, and is still designated "Democratic Re publican" in the older States; but it has continued the same party every where, from Jefferson's day ' to the present hour. Four parties, and four only, have administered the government during the eighty-six years of its existence. This is a fact worth -weighing by the sciolists, who fancy that new parties can be substituted for old ones as easily as women change the fashion of their apparel. Only two parties which acquired sufficient strength and stability to obtain control of the government have ever disappeared from our politics, and these were the Federalists and the Whigs, who sprung from the loins of Federalism. Each of these was superseded in a different manner, and they furnish the only guides to our judgment in matters of this kind. There are only two methods by which great historical parties are supplanted and abolished, and wheth er a party is extinguished by one or the other of these methods depends upon its relative strength when the process of destruction commences its work. When a political party has long dwindled and at length become so small that it has less than half as many supporters as its successful opponent, it is liable to disappear by splits or schisms in the latter which is no longer held together by fears of the success of its adversary. Some one of tle factions into which the powerful party divides is certain to court the decaying organization and give it an opportunity to make its power felt by throwing its weight into one- of the scales. This is the way the Federalists came to their end as a party. It maintained its or ganic existence until the successor to President Monroe was elected in 182i, when four Democratic Repub lican candidates were in the field. The election went into the House, Clay giving his support to Adams, thus beating Jackson and Crawford, and Clay thus became the leader of the new party whicli arose in oppo sition to . the Democracy and took the name of Whig. It is evident now that a long time must elapse be fore the Democratic party can disap pear in that way. It is too formida ble in numbers to relieve the Radical party of fear and permit it to divide. The attempt to divide it in the Gree ley campaign was a signal failure, though supported by many of its most eminent leaders and powerful journals. Even in the last Presiden tial contest the Democratic party had a majority of the white vote of the country. The conditions do not exist foi the Democratic party to disappear in a way similar to that by which the federalists were swallowed up and absorbed. The other way by which a great historical party may disap pear is by the organization of a new party of sufficient vitality and earn estness of conviction to grow and be come predominant. It was in this way that the Whigs were finally overcome and extinguished. A new party destined to supplant an old one is likely to be of slow growth at first, as are most things destined for long life. The anti-slavery party, called successively the Liberty and Free-Soil party, existed side by side with the Whig party for twelve years before it succeeded to its place. It was organized by Salmon P. Chase and the Free-Soil Buffalo Convention, and ran Presidential tickets in 184.4, 1848, and 1852, constantly accumu lating strength and courage until the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, in 1854:, enabled it by a change of name to become a powerful organiza tion. This was the nucleus of the Radical-Republican party which ran Fremont for the Presidency and ad ministered the parting kick to the Whig carcass, which has never been heard of since. It is quite evident that the Demo cratic party is in no danger of extinc tion in this way. No third party has risen to play the part of the Free Soilers. The Liberal Republican nartv never had any strength, nor any distinctive principles. It was founded on mere personal hostility to General Grant, and consisted of Republicans who would have contin ued to act with their party had they seen any possibility of superseding him by another candidate. It has never voted in any such way as to Rlinw what its members really are, and does not seem disposed to act a separate part in politics. All the newspapers which were its organs, have retired from its advocacy, and one of the leaders MuratHalstead latalv said, at the Sohurz banquet in New York, there was nothing left of it, and no chanoe for a third party. Mos t. certainly, the. existence of the greai historical jjemocratK party is ; not seriously threatenea oy a party in that shape. The people will ar- j rango themselves for some time yet 1 QJtEGON, FRIDAY, MAY 26, 1875. on the side of either the Democratic or Radical ; organization; but for a third or . a new party the time is not yet ripe. . A "Cousin Sally Dillard" Testi mony in Ireland. " Weil, my lord.judge, sure it was election; and faith 'twas a dark cloudy, wet sort of drizzling day, and says I to my old woman, I be lieve I will go, down and 'posit me vote, And says myold woman to me 'Well, Buck, as it is a sort of a dark cloudy, wet sort of a drizzling day,' says she, hadn't you better take the umbrill?' Says I to the old woman, 'spect I had better take the umbrill.' So I took the umbrill' and advanced on down toward town, yer see, and be faith, when I got down thar Mr. Cole, Sure, and for why?' Says he, 'He has got my umbrill.' " The witness was hero interrupted by the Court, and told to confine himself to the actual fray between the prisoner and Cole, the prosecu tor. In answer to this the witness rewarked, in a tone of indignant re monstrance, 'Well, now, I am sworn to tell the truth, and I'm going to tell it my own way; so faint worth while for you to say nothin' about it. Well, I was going to say it was on last election day for our glorious Parliament of Lords and Commons, and says' I to my old woman, I be lieve I'll go down to town and give my vote for the Home Ruling gintle mau.' Says my old woman to me, says she, 'Buck, as it is a sort of a dark, rainy, drizzling sort of a day, hadn't you better take your umbrifl? so I took the umbrill and advanced down toward town until I arrived thaiv Well, tbe .firsh thing I did when I got thar was to take a drink of rale Dublin whiskey, whicli was monstrous good, and says I to my self, Buck, my auld fellow, you feel better now, don't you?' And while I was advancing around Mr. Cole, he came to me, says he Buck, have you seen anything of old neighbor Harris?' Says I, 'And why is it ye ax me?' Says he, 'The old man has got my umbrill?' After awhile I gave my vote to the Home Ruling gentle man, a rale old Irish gentleman, and then Mr. Cole and me had a drap more of Dublin Whisky, and nd yanced back toward home, and Mr. Cole was tighter than I ever seed him. And so we advanced until we got to where the road and path fork ed, and we took the path, as any other gentleman would, and advanc ing backward awhile, we arriv' to old neighpor Harris sitting on a mill stone with the umbrill on his arm, and about that time the prisoner corned up, and we advanced on till we arriv' at John's house. John is my neffew, and likewise my son-in-law. He married my darter Jane, whicli is next to Sally. Alter we had advanced to John's house, we stood in the yard awhile talking, and presently Mr. Cole got to cussing about politix, and I advanced into the house whar was John's wife, which is my darter Jane. Well, af ter talking awhile with 'em ni3 nef few, says he, 'Uncle, let's go home.' Says I, Good, you darlin'. ' So we trotted out together. And there's all I know about the assault, for I warn't there. The Situation ix Louisiana. W. A. Wheeler, of tho Louisiana Con gressional Committee, addressed a letter to the Times in answer to the question, "Is the Louisiana adjust ment a success or a failure ?" He says; "I firmly beaeve that Louisi has at last causrht the inspiration from a new order of things, and that, exhausted as she was with tumult and violence, yet with a just govern ment and the education of the peo ple the last just now her greatest need she, with steady but slow pace, will emerge from what seemed to be her utterly helpless condition." In regard to the reinstating of the four Democrats in the House of Rep resentatives, he says: "Xo one can be found in Louisiana to assert that at the time these four Democrats were unseated, there was a quorum present, so these four Democrats had never been legally expelled from their seats, and having done nothing to forfeit them, their reinstatement was an act of simple justice which all understanding the facts must approve." Pennsylvania Bankk CPT.-Mackey the State Treasurer of Pennsylvania, has made an affidavit showing that the State is practically bankrupt, as he swears that on March 31st there was but one dollar and seventy-six cents of available cash in the Treas ury. When the character of the men who have had the handling of the State fund3 for some years past is borne in mind, the people of Penn sylvania may perhaps think them selves lucky that even that trifling sum is left. The Treasurer gives the total State indebtment at $24 - 374,223, and the balance in the link ing fund at $1,1ic5,1d1, although the people have been led o believe that this fund was aboi'c $300,000,000. One Good Wife. A paragraph is going the rounds of the newspapers to this effect: "There is one good wife in the ooantry, and every man thinks he lias hor." Old Brown who lives on Olive street, who is bald, and whose wife has red hair and a wioked eye, read this and murmured as he meditatively passed his hand, over his head "I dunno, I dunno!" "I seo very little of you," said an old gentleman at a Louisville ball to a young lady whom he had not met in a long time before. "I know it," was the artless reply, "but mother wouldn't allow me to wear a very low necked dress to-night the weath er is 6Q cold," COURTESY OF BANCROFT LIBRARY, TTMTVTTnTTV OV PAT TTTHDH T A Romance of an Old Pnritan. FIKST LOVE AXD SECOND MARRIAGE. William Bradford whoso name stands second on the list of signa tures to the celebrated compact made in. the little cabin of Mayflower, and who became the second Governor of Plymouth colony, was-born at An sterfield, Yorkshire. England, in the month of March' 1588. - His parents dying in his -youth, he was left to the care of his grandparents, -aiul af ter them to" his uncles. His family was respectable, but was among the yoemanry of England,' and he was bred to agriculture. At an early period he took upon himself the care of his largo estates, and to improve and beautify them was his occupation and pleasure. But while each day found him busy with tho men in his fields, night found him busy with his books. He became a proficient in the Latin, Greek and Hebrew languages, and French and German he both read and spoke with ease. While still a mere youth he identified himself with the Puritans, and at seventeen years of age was one of a company who attempted to escade to Holland, in quest of liberty to worship as their consciences counselled. But they were betrayed, and cast into prison at Boston, Lincolnshire. While religion and numerous other grave and earnest objects had their place in his mind, there was one cor ner where a more beautiful, less grave, but as earnest a passion held sway. Love had entered the heart of the young Puritan; and often, while his head was bowed over his book, the graceful figure of her he loved would charm his eyes, making his heart throb with delight. When as a child he had played with little Alice Carpenter, Le hiiew that she was lovelier and sweeter to him than any golden-haired, rosy-lipped little fairy. She was just two years younger than himself. As years passed, and her form be came taller and fuller, the golden curls deepening in shade to a sunny brown, she grew more beautiful to him. Many were the walks they had together. His lands joined her father's, and of a Summer evening, leaning over tho hedge that divided them, long and sweet were the con versations they enjoyed. One eve in Autumn Alice announc ed to him that she was to go to Lon don with an' aunt, .to stay some months. The news came like a death blow upon William. The Carpenter family had been highly distinguish ed in former times, and one of it? members had received from the King the honor of knighthood, but they were now indigent, and William de termined to risk his fate, and ask Alice of her proud and stern father He hoped that his own broad lands - . i . i . . ii and lair name might innuence me f.ither to accept him as a suitable match for his lovely but portionless girl. Bat ho did not know the pride of the old man. He was dismissed with haughty and severe reproofs for his presumption. His religions belief would have raised a barrier had there been no other, and sad was the interview of the young lovers that evening at the trysting-placo where they had spent so many hap py hours It was to be their last meeting. William was too proud and hi"h-minded, and Alice too du- tiful, to act in opposition to a pa rent's wishes. Alice wont to London, and in course of time was married to Con stant Southworth, a wealthy and honorable man. William devoted himself to his farm and books. By-and-by he felt that a wife was needful to him, and his eye fell on Dorothy Maj, a sensible discreet woman' of his own rank in life. He did not love her as he had loved Al ice, but he felt an honest and true affection! for her, and she proved to be an estimable, faithful wife. The number of those professiug the Puritan faith increased, and trial and persecution were their lot. William was one of the earliest ad vocates for their removal to America, where they might enjoy their re ligion undisturbed. He was with the little band in thcif hasty fight, in their sojourn in London, and upon the stormy and perilous ocean in the cabin of the Mayflower. While in Cape Cod harbor, and during his absence with a party sent to explore the coast, his faithful wife, Dorothy, fell from the ship and was drowned. He sincerely mourned for her, for she had been on afFeetionate wife, but, with th sub mission of a Christian, ho caly turned to the duties of life. Life for him was a warfare with Imnger and cold, disease and lavage enemies. What the color;sts Buffered is well known. Mr. Bradford was now a mature tupIi of thirty:two, and when Gov ernor Carver died, a few months af ter their arrival, he was elected his successor, and for a period of moro than thirty -one years he directed the affairs of the colony. But while with fatherly caro he watched over the little colony, he often felt the want of women's ready sympathy and soothing tonderness. He thought of Alice. The love he had felt for her had never died out of his heart. While the husband of another, it had slumbered, but now Alice and himself were both free, or her husband had died a year sinoe. Did she remember the lover of her youth? And if she yet cherished that memory, would she consent to leave a happy home tnd troops of loving friends to share the fortunes of one in a wilderness ? At last he decided to write to her and propose that she would share his fortunes. Early in the Spring of 1G23 the letter was sent. He set be fore her faithfully all the trials and r privations to which she would be ex ! posed; he left it to her to decide whether she could regard his love as j an equivalent for the sacrifices she , would be called upon to make. And j he requested her, if she should con ; sent, since the affairs of the colony would not suffer his absence, to take passage in the first ship bound for the colonies. The time passed slowly to the Gov ernor, until, on the 14th of August, a sail was discerned,, as yet a faint speck on the horizon. It was the ship' so long expected. If she were not there, there would at least be a written rejection of his proposal. The whole population of the town crowded to the landing. Governor Bradford stood firm and erect, con spicuous among the little crowd. When tho vessel touched the shore, all hurried on. The Governor pass ed from one to another with warm welcomings; but his eye watched for Alice. He sees -her not. His hope has gone out. "It is God's will" said the devout Puritan. Just then a . woman ascends the stairs from the cabin. She is taller than the Alice of his remembrance. Strange, for though he knew years must have changed her, yet she had always been in his mind tho slender girl from whom he had parted. And here she stands, the beautiful, state ly, dignified woman. Probably she too, had her surprise. For a moment the pair looked at eacli other, and the "William!" "Al ice!" burst from their lips, and the hearts so long sundered were united. That very evening the marriage took place. There was joy of heart, but no extravagant display. Long and happy was the union here consum mated. Thirty-four additional years was the good Governor spared to the col ony, whose prosperity ho did so much to promote. His wifa surviv ed him Slteen years. She was well educated and dignified in deport ment, and did much for the improve ment of the rising generation. Pil grim Hall stands upon land formerly in her possession. It is recorded of her that she was a good matron and much loved while she lived, and heartily lamented when she died. William's Landaiilet. Shortly after it came out that Attorney-General Williams indulged in a landaulet at the public expense, it was said that the vehicle had been purchased by a gentleman who de signed making a tour with it through some of the Western States. As Williams is soon going out of office he ought to have the landaulet to ex hibit as one of the trophies of his incumbency of the department. It is said that he intends to return to Oregon wheu he retires, with the de sign, if possible, of capturing the United States Senatorship which will be one of the prizes to be gained at the State flection ia 1S7G. If ho only had his landaulet, and trav eled extensively through Oregon previous to the election, exhibiting himself all at places of importance, with some of the' agents of the De partment of Justice who furnished the "bloody shirt" outrage stories, he would be completely fixed. The people would be able to fully ap preciate his great services in the De partment of Justice. They would have constantly before their eyes the proof of his greatness. They would know at once that Williams was the man with the landaulet whom the United States Senate would not con firm as Chief Justice, and that he was the genius who could, by sim ply nodding to an agent, present an outrage to the people of the North as if by magic. Knowing this, they would know whether they wanted Williams in the Senate or not, and take measures accordingly. m . Resigned. "Landaulet" Williams who has so long disgraced the na tion as Attorney General, has dis- cretly stepped down and out. This may be noted as the only valuable service he has ever rendered the gov ernment, and even this was prompt ed by a desire to save hi3 scalp. The next House had an impeachment rod in pickle for him, which would have been applied with merited' severity had not he dodged in time. San Jose Argus.

Examiner:- ' :; Spontaneously from all parts' of the couutry come tributes of admiration for the manly course Governor Til den of New York . has taken' in the contest with the public thieves of-' his State. So deficient have our" high officials been in integrity and moral courage, that the spectacle of a brave, resolute, and honest Execu tive, manfully inaugurating a- fight' against a powerful gang of public plunderers, whose position has seem ed impregnable, is witnessed wiilr admiring awe by a people who had become skeptical as to the ability, fidelity or courage of any officials General Tilden has shown not onlyr the requisite courage, but he has manifested the highest capacity of mind, as well as the most exhaustless jiatience and tenacity of purpose, im the pursuit of the official malefactors.. The manifestation of these high qual ities in the Tweed cases and in the present onslaught upon the Canal "ring" has suggested simultaneously to people in all parts of the country the propriety of placing him in.the: field as a candidate for President- The election of such a man as Til den to the Chief Magistracy of the Union would be the assurance of an indefinite extension of the progress and prosperity of the country, be cause of his moral worth, intellectual capacity, and undeniable fidelity to- O Democratic principles, as they were understood in the good old. times,, when the Democracy directed the destinies of the Republic and main tained its honor and glory at home and abroad. Governor Tilden's candidacy shoulil Q also bring to the support of the Dem ocratic cause that large class of per sons who are indifferent to party as cendency, but anxious that the Gov ernment shall bo in honest and com petent control. The crowning merit" of Tilden is his public spirit and in tegrity. Throughout his whole life not a stain of suspicion has ever at tached to him of any unworthy con duct. The too customary vices'of." the public men of this age have been foreign to him. The love of lucre, a tendency to speculation,. nepotism, jobbery, favoritism, or intrigue, has - never soiled his reputation nor ira- paired popular respect for him. His o q walk and conversation before men have been reflexive of rigid morality, purity of life and dignity of deport ment. The busy demands of Governor Tilden's professional life have not O permitted him the enjoyment of the retirement and leisure which ere so dear to all men of thought, of larger intellect, and long service and strain of the faculties. Nor is it his tem perament to cease from labor and: struggle so long as there is-work to be done for a good cause. Hence the Democracy, especially its long night of adversity, has never been remote from his thoughts and dreams. Its fortunes, its preserva tion, its eventual restoration to pow er, have been the great end to accomplish which he bent his en tire energies. When nearly every body else appeared to despair of," ultimate success when many of the- ancient chiefs were- relaxing- their. efforts in the apparently- hopeless task of reviving the fortunes of the grand old party, Tilden was steadily at work,, planning, talking, uniting, organizing, and devising methods to place the Democracy once more upon the highway of success. His labors- were enhanced enormously by the corruptions o interlopers in the party, who had used its pure name. and stolen its stainless standard to-' cover their own bad acts. To- purge the party of these vermin, to clear- its record and cleanse its escutcheon, to expel, disgrace, and punish those- who had purloined the habiliments of an honest organization to serve their infamous personal ends, was the achievement of Samuel Tilden. This was truly a herculean undertak ing, and its accomplishment gave him a claim to the gratitude, admira tion, and esteem of all honorable men, whicli is now redoubled by his efforts to dislodge a still more for midable band of public robbers from, their position. He i3 just the man, to grapple with tho "rings" who. lave been for rears fastened on the national government. Gov. Tilden's. coniso, from first to last, commends him to the affection, devotion anil support of the Democracy of the whole Union, as one of the ablest, most efficient, and deserving of the Demoeratio leaders. It will be f. glorious day for the Republic when such a man shall be installed ia tho White House.
