LETTER TROM lIOX. WM. A. WALLACE TO THE
JEFFERSON DEMOCRATIC ASSOCIATION.
The following will appear in the York
Democratic Press of to day :
CLEARFIELD, March 4, 1882. To the
JejTcrson Democratic Association of York,
Pa.— GENTLEMEN : 1 (hank you for the
compliment you bestow in my election
as an honorary member of youra-tsoci •
tion, of which 1 am ndvised through
your president, Chauncey F. Black,
Esq.
In its acceptance I renew my allegi
ance to Jetreraonian principles so acimi
rabiy summarized in the second article
of the constitution of your association.
Differences as to the practical appli
cation of these doctrines among those
who avow their belief in them, are the
leading causes for that danger lo a gov
ernment of the people and for that
tendency lo strong government, so ap
parent to all. and so much deplored by
every disciple of .Jefferson.
Unity and successful progress can
come to our orgsni/non only through
closer following of Jefferson's own prac
tice.
We must err, if we err at all, on the
side of the masses of the people.
We must incur, as he did, the charge
of . .ins cut lot turn, rather than bear the
taint of aristocratic tendency and mon
eyed control.
We must denounce, as he did, every
"contrivance for corruption'' and strip
ourselves of responsibility for a system
that enables men so lo wield official
place and so to manipulate franchises
granted by the people, as to amass
princely fortunes in a decade, at the ex
Jiense of their rights and privileges, and
we must attack with unbough' ,-n and
the wondrous power of honest poverty,
the use of those fortunes to corrupt tin
sources and channels of public opinion
and lo pollute the ballot-bo*.
The "democracy" cannot be "all
things to all men." It is drifting into
that unfortunate attitude upon mani
public questions, and its life and the
consequent safety of our institutions de
mand a speedy return to its ancient
theories; but obedience to law, honest
performance ot tiuancial and contitu
tional obligations and that conservatism
which (lows from undy irig faith in the
capacity of the people to govern them
selves, are bases upon which all may
stand.
With these in view, let u go back
and learn what detlVrton thought, and
leach it lo the people.
How teach it? How make the knowl
edge efficient ?
Organ iz it ion is A vital necessity io
•very vocation in life. It is indispensa
ble to success in business and equally so
in politics. Close attention to details
is the only safe means to a competence
in life; accurate, earnest and systemat
ic attention to details in jiolittcs is the
only road to triumph there.
An armv of crusaders, glowing with
religious lervor and ready to die for
their cause, if it lacked discipline and
organization was an easy prey to the
trained soldiers of the Turk. Ho, the
people, thoroughly in earnest, patriotic
and vigilant, without combination and
lacking coherence and discipline, are
powerless at the jtoll* against their
enemies, who are wielded of one man
by the power of an unscrupulous ad
ministration, and whose 100,000 trained
pivot men and drill sergeants are found
in its pay in every post office, collection
district, still house and custom house
in the land All whodiffi-r with us in
opinion are marshaled by these officials
and concentrated Into an almost in
vincible phalanx. Its power ia rein
forced by enormous sums of money,
furnished by those who fatten upon
corporate franchises, by "timid men who
prefer the calm of despotism to the
boisterous sea of liberty," and specula
tors and holders in "the public funds."
In iu ranks there are no differences of
Opinion when the hour of trial comes.
All then yield unquestioned obedience
to the command of the "bosses" and
the preservation of j>ower compels uni
ty and bartnonjr among them.
Associations similar to youra wbicb,
with their branches, shall reach into
every election district and there teach
the gospel of individual right, local
government and pure administration,
•re among the best meant that can be
devised to produce that harmony of
counsel which is necessary to cope with
•ucb a foe. Community of intereata be
gets unity of opinion and hence we
must practice what we teach. Much an
organization of thinkers, speaker* and
writers, striking everywhere at central
ised power and corrupt rule, and acting
with and for I lie masses, will speedily
place us upon equality with the
party of the advasHlration and give ua
an even chance fq the great struggle for
popular rights,
IftOtllPHO wo uihl it vitalized, over
living, Byt<-nHiic uinl thorough organi
lotion ot all who think it* wo do, that
shall tind each man in hia homo, every
ai hool diatriot, and combine him with
Ins fellows there, and then connect
them through their township, borough,
ward, city, county and atate orgittii/. i
tions to a federal head of the whole, who
■ hall in turn be in constant communi
cation with every part of the system, we
will begin to approach that net work of
detail thai is vital to success in practi
cal politics. Our antagonists teach us
the power of their organization by con
stantly defeating us. To maintain its
perfection, costs otlicial power, corrupt
rule and enormous sums of money.
Ours can, if we will it, be made more
perfect, because more reliable than
theirs, without either; but here. too.
we must depend upon the masses.
Large sum* of money are worse than
useless. One man who will work for
the love ol hia coue is worth live who
must be paid to labor for it.
The task here sketched is not hercu
lean, but it needs to bo undertaken as
a system and proscecuted like any otli
er business calling. As organization now
exists, we hear of a nauonl committee
six months in every four years, and of
state committees and county commit
tees three months in every year; the
remainder of the time they rest. Our
adversaries are never idle; the places of
their organizers depend upon their
value and vigilance as such.
Continuous life added to energy and
activity will give us all that they pos
sess and save us the odium ol bureaus
by candidates. Au open door to an es
tablished and perpetual central olfice
will relievo us from close corporations
within the organization, and business
management will summarily relieve
from duty the parly otlicial who sells his
party's secrets, or ia too lazy to give
that duty his earnest personal attention.
Unselfish devotion to the interests of
the masses ia the plain path to unity ol
purpose and hnrmony of thought, and
an organization based upon business
| principles, the only road to .the success
; of our opinions.
Very respectfully yours,
WILLI a* A. WALLACE.

ihi/e in the homage you promise to pay
to the memory of that (treat soldier

he mvnileated in a (treat put-hc crista

maintain the territorial integrity of our
country and the indissoluble Union of

the beneficent JefTersonian philosophy
which prefer* that nothing shall he
done by the general government which
the local authorities are competent to
do and nothing by any governmental
power winch individual* can do for
thetnselve*. The great contest of bis
administration arose out ol hi* effort*
to resist the usurpation by congress ol
power* in derogation of the ngbta of
localities and of individuals, as well a*
of the constitution. I well remember
that in the debate in 1832, on the veto
of the hill to techarler the Hank of (lie
United State*, Mr. Wetwlcr, with all
his eloquence, denounced and deplored
the spectacle of the executive disclaim
ing the power and dismantling the gov

The overgrowth of abuse* and arroga

they have distorted our political system
would haveseetned fifty years ago, when

The government can never he restored

a man adapted and qualified for the

THE. UTAH I.EIiISI.ATI'RE RECOGNIZING THAT
THE DATS or roi.rcMxr ARK CAST.
SAI.T LAKE CITV. March ll.—The Leg
islature adjourned sine din last evening.
In tho cl-iiig speeches there was tacit
recognition ol lite fact that the day of
polygamous legislation was forever past,
and their final adieus to the hall* where,
for twenty live sessions, they find upheld
the Htslidard of Ifieocr uty was riot with
out u rertain dignity and pathos. Down
to the passage by the Senate of the Ed
mund* bill the Legislature was disposed
to treat lightly all attempts ut interfer
ence either by Congress or by the liov
ernor. Since that they have become
aware that n cri-M in their history is
upon them. The younger and monoga
mous element would probably have (net
it by concession if possible. The older
and polygamous element has had no
thought save to stand on what they
deem their rights, whatever the conse
<|Uences.
In tho address in reply to parts of
the Governor's me-sage. which they
resented in the memorial to Congress
against legislation and in the edling of
a State convention to organise Utah a* a
State and apply for admission into the
I'nion, the country fins their ultima
tum. So passes the last chance ; polyg
amy had to strike its colors. There is
j nothing leit hut for CoiigreM to move
| immediately to it* work. The legisla
tion of the session WH* unimportant.
Both sid-s agree that the Governor ex
ercised his absolute veto power w-nh
good judgment. In almost every in
stance his suggestions were adopted
awl his approval thus secured. •hi one
lioint, however, the Governor and Leg
islature could not agree. The Govern
or held it to fie Ins duty under the
United State* .statues to nominate cer
tain Territorial executive offlcers whom
tiie Legislature assumes to elect under
a Territorial law passed when Brigham
Young was Governor. The legislature
refused to concede the point, declaring
that there were no vacancies in the
said oflices. Tire Governor and legis
lature, however, parted with a mutual
iuterchsge of compliments.

The sub-committee appointed by the

Under the regulation* recommended

Alter the appraisement h* been made
a day will be fixed for hearing appeals,
and those not appearing shall be con

The mercantile appraisers are to re
ceive s compensation fifty cents for
every license properly a*e*.ed and col
lected, the amount of said fee to fie
collected from the party paying the
license, in addition to the amount of the

Wright, from hi* own statement (oorro
horated by other*.) I* a most remarka
ble man of a remarkable family.
HtNAToa Coops a seems determined to
huse an extra session of the Legislature.
He want* the people relieved of a mil
lion dollars in the *h*|>e of taxes now
imposed and which the new revenue
bill will lift. This is a very desirable
thing, hut it is a rather late thought.
A revenue commission which was ap
pointed by the Legislature of 1*79
could have had that attended to and
the people relieved a year ago had it
attended to business. Hut it did not
do so. snd very early in the last session
the idea of having that commission
make a report was abandoned with the
view to bringing on an extra session
this year. From the first month of the
session last year to the end there waa no
other idea than that ati extra session
would ire called. If the throwing over
of the revenue revision has not accom
plished this purpose it is indeed a sad
contemplation. Senator Cooper, how
ever, is very red header! and very ac
tive; he will, of course, not allow the
agitation to die down until every hope
is gone. He will come up solid every
dty in the week for an extra session.
He is nerfectly willing to have it known
what kind of a Governor he would
make.— Phifadftpkui Timer.
A very pretty story is told by the
Louisville Oemrier-Journal to the effect
that an infant child of Joseph Meyet, of
that city, bad apparently died alter a
brief illness, and the mourning family
and friends were around it, when the
child's brother, about ten year* old,
l>enl over the little one's body and kiaa
ed the pallid lips. The baby's mouth
was slightly open snd in kissing her the
hoy's hieath waa blown down her throat.
The little lips suddenly moved, there
were several sudden gasps, and respira
lion waa resumed. At last accounts the
child waa aliv* and it atiU improving.
